When I was a younger man I knew a few models. What they went through seemed more painful then basic training to me.
One told a story about how they had one pair of high heels for a show. The show had twenty models. No they where not all the same size. Yes they all had to wear the shoes each time down the runway. Posted by: Big V at July 03, 2021 04:43 PM (6Pqz7) 20

OK I'll say it. That red dress is ugh to me. Even looking at models my reaction to a dress that would force the wearer to take only teeny baby steps by being that tight above, at, or right below the knees is oh no way in hades.
I quite like Melania's dress, although the super high heels do look like nothing but torture. They don't seem to add anything to that dress. Some of her outfits her favored high high heels add a pop, where I think maybe they are worth it if one could wear them, but not this one.

Looks like Melania stuffs those puppies in one shoe size too small.
-- I don't think it's that. When you wear stilettos that high (what are those things...6"?), her feet have nowhere to go but slide down to the front of the toe box. They look extremely uncomfortable, but I guess she's pretty used to them. I'd need a wheelchair after walking around in those for even an hour.

I went to Right Side Broadcasting Network to just take a look at the pre-coverage on Trump's Sarasota rally tonight. RSBN said they've been suspended from Twatter again for one week. Why? Because they dared broadcast his Ohio rally last week where the election steal was discussed. When are conservatives going to get smart and dump Twatter en masse?

i remember when you couldn't be gay. I remember when you had to be, let's just say, thinner. I remember when a Marine could be discharged simply because his profile did not look like a Marine. Even if he did pass the pfts, even if he did his job, if he didn't look like a Marine in uniform he could be cashiered. Sounds crazy today and full of law suits, but it was that way in the 70s and 80s. I know of men who were sent packing simply because they did not look like a Marine. No one liked this btw, no commander liked it even a bit.

But as long as Twatter is all in on the left, they won't lose their influence anymore than the MSM has, which as much as we here mock they clearly still set the table for an insane number of people, including those who still pull up a chair at the kid's table of Faux News hoping it is different, and ignoring it is largely the same meal, just with a different dish or two and different portions for the rest.

I am somewhat shocked at the IOC on the tranny idiocy.
Most of the world (putting it mildly) is not all in on this latest ridiculous bit of degradation from American culture, and certainly not the 2nd most ridiculous expression thereof: biological males competing with women in women's sports.

Just pole vault. No "women's" pole vault. Just 100 meter dash. No "men's" and "women's" 100 meter dash. And so on. Greco-roman wrestling, and judo, and boxing! would be lit. Well, they'd be all-male.

If Sen Cotton is correct, and there's talk of amnesty being added to reconciliation, we'll at least not have to wait for apocalyptic disaster (vs. steady, slower degradation) from the idiot children in power.
Don't see how that flies, procedurally, but even talk of it almost certainly will produce the predictable real-world response: a mad dash for the border. Say you're an Eritrean or Pakistani now in Panama, starting your journey through Central America. If there is a serious effort to pass amnesty now - or even believable rumors or expectations to that effect - then the only rational response is to get across that "border" ASAP. Period. Would be quite exciting. Posted by: rhomboid (OTzUX) at July 03, 2021 06:13 PM (OTzUX) 204

And related, McCarthy has picked a sovereignty and borders and rule of law opponent (that's the wordy but accurate way to put it) as his point man on ...... immigration issues.

Hilarious opinion piece by the always hopeful WAPO written today by the lawyer that sued Trump for his real estate university. https://tinyurl.com/dnnf6xe3
Forget that the idiot that wrote this piece basically got less than about 10% of the initial claims for the client class only because Trump wanted to be done with it in order to run for President, his whole piece is just as idiotic. You see, the AG and DA don't really need the CFO, they have THE DOCUMENTS! Of course this moron forgets to add that they've had those documents for half a decade and couldn't charge anyone. The press are one and the same with class action lawyers...they're dime a dozen, last in their class, and wouldn't be hired to make a snow cone on a mobile ice cream truck. The marriage of these two loser grifter classes has been going on for years, but the WAPO puts the finishing touches on that stupid union with this piece.

Rhomboid, if you're still around you'd asked about battery packs on the ONT. We've used the Tacklife brand and have been pleased, and I keep one in each vehicle.

But when everyone said it was legal in Amsterdam in the 80s and 90s, they were wrong. It was never legal. It was tolerated, it was decriminalized, but that is not the same as legal. Americans can't seem to get a grip around anything unless the government says it is legal. Decriminalized means don't act like an asshole and we won't bust you.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks aka Hangdog Barkston at July 03, 2021 06:39 PM (d9FiS) Maybe that was in Obumbles pitch for Chicago to get the games? It'd make for interesting event next time the games are in Chyna. The winners escapes the country, the losers get awarded lead against the medal wall.

They
got a sheet and a pallet on the floor to sleep on with two servings of plain white rice a day when they went to prison. They had to "earn" anything else by working. If they fvcked up they got beaten and I mean beaten with sticks. It was brutal. *** I'd like to sign up for Japan's newsletter. Posted by: Moron Robbie - Juneteenth, because we need to celebrate whites being badass at July 03, 2021 06:41 PM I was in port once for a few days and the Japanese Warden of the prison invited the JAG people out to the prison for the bona dori festival. I put my class "A" uniform on and went with the wife and we sat at tables like kings eating sushi and all sorts of stuff while we watched the prisoners do the bone dance. One American prisoner was not cooperating and the guards descended on him and beat the ever living fvck out of him. It was educational.

An " okay" movie...
Posted by: kraken at July 03, 2021 06:40 PM (6Je/Q) I was in basic when it came out. The drill sergeants loved the movie and told us how great it was. I said this before, but it is a direct, quote. They said it made Platoon look like a pussy movie. My honest opinion is I don't think too highly of either of them. FMJ had some amazing scenes and amazing performances. But you don't have to scratch too much to see what the point was. I don't need Wayne in The Green Berets, but I know when a lefty from Napa is telling me my country sucks. Performances aside, I don't think they aged that well. Maybe there were not really good and fair Vietnam movies. I liked The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now. They were so far fetched that I bought into the stories. I have pushed Uncommon Valor hear before. I think it is a very underrated film. It is interesting that no cable channel shows it, ever.

Hold as much ammo as the script requires, bullets can't pass through cars unless they hit the gas tank, in which case they cause an explosion and any item placed over the barrel of a gun can either cause the gun to explode (if the good guy needs it to) or make the gun make the softest whisper ever. Probably why leftist are so stupid on guns, their knowledge comes from movies and TV in which guns are like Harry Potter wands that can do anything.

- I loved the scene in the original Road Warrior where Max sends the kid out onto the hood of the semi to retrieve a shotgun shell. He didn't have a magic shotgun. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks aka Hangdog Barkston at July 03, 2021 06:53 PM (d9FiS) 289

Hollywood Weapons is a pretty good show. You can YouTube the episodes. They take scenes from the movies and try to recreate. A spin of Myth Busters. Posted by: Just a side note at July 03, 2021 06:54 PM (2DOZq) 290
I saw Platoon on mushrooms. It was, well, intense. I think it's a great movie. Some really well-done, non-battle scenes. The black characters, in particular, are quite well done.

Boot camp scenes in FMJ were very accurate. The squad bay was identical to the one I was in back in 69. One error was at the rifle range, showing a silouette target and the range in meters. It was still bullseye targets and range in yards.

Class action lawsuits can be fairly difficult. You have to be able to establish what the class is and then find suitable class representatives. Then you have to litigate the issues. I certainly wouldn't want to do class ax lit.
Posted by: SFGoth at July 03, 2021 06:38 PM (KAi1n) Class action lawsuits are hard, class action lawyers are everywhere...spend a couple of hours on cable anytime after 11PM and you'll get bombarded by scores upon scores of ads from class action attorneys, from every corner of the country....its like the lottery - hard to get a big score, but you just need one settlement.

I'm looking for something to watch tonight. Prime or Netflix. Watched American Assasin the othe night. At least I think that was the name. They all seem to run in together after a while.
Any suggestions? Don't like horror but science fiction, fantasy, magic, suspend disbelief and just enjoy to my liking. Nothing with a moral or sob story. Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at July 03, 2021 07:00 PM (sd8p8) 307

Posted by: Quint at July 03, 2021 06:56 PM (F2/Ok) Yeah, it's like they had to cram every bad actor into every movie. The post Vietnam veterans weren't treated very well in movies either.
