#1 Re: The Garden » NFL 2023/24 season » 5 weeks ago
Who watched the Superbowl?
I hate both teams but had to pray for an Eagles win. Sick of the Mahomes/Chiefs featuring Taylor Swift. It's just Brady/Patriots all over again...but worse.
They didn't deserve a 3peat. If none of those iconic 20th century teams couldn't 3peat, nobody else should neither.
The game wound up being one of my all time favorite Superbowls. The way they shut down the Chiefs was a work of art. Loved the look on Mahomes face when he realized they weren't winning it this time.
Im hoping the team fractures after this. Maybe Kelcie will retire and a few key guys go to another team.
I'm still sick from that Ravens-Bills game. I was in shock when they weren't using Henry in the key part of the game when he was needed most. Why even sign him?

I voted for Trump but the roll out of Doge and Job cuts has been a disaster. No plan just chaos. I am already worn out on Elon. Do we even have a house or Senate? Trump acting like a king. Not good. Economy going to shit.
Trump is just a puppet for Musk and Vance is Thiels puppet/fuck toy.
It's a disaster and only getting started.
The richest man in the world has access to everything and is gutting it all with a huge smile on his face.
Elon and Peter Thiel are going to turn this country into a nightmare dystopia.
Look who our secretary of defense is. It's embarrassing. In a normal world...he wouldn't get a single vote.
Unfortunately we don't have a Teddy Roosevelt to save us from them.
Economy going to shit
Elon called it a week before the election... they're going to intentionally crash the economy.
This isn't surprising.
We were fucked either way the dice rolled...but I do wonder if Kamala winning might have been the safer bet. She might have hired a few competent people in key positions.
The left only has themselves to blame though.
#3 Re: The Garden » If A Documentary Was Made On The GnR Forums 'Chinese Democracy' era... » 5 weeks ago
recall on HTGTH there was a poster Mike Giulani, he was from NYC & told me he was a union plumber. I think he broke his wrist at work, and would post constantly, probably was on some serious meds, but I think he had like 30,000 posts in about 90 days (maybe it was 10,000, but it was definitely impressive). Then he just disappeared. I'm guessing he went back to work, although I hope he didn't OD. Anyway I'd see his post count go up like 50 within an hour, it was nonstop. Pretty crazy. He & I dm'd a few times, so sorta knew him, then he just dropped off.
One of my all time favorite forum members. Yeah he posted constantly. He left that first year of ROV and never heard from him again.
Hope he's still alive.
I don't know if this was out in the open or not but Laura/DTJ was friends with him in real life. They lived in the same neighborhood.
The community really lost something when they bailed.
A few off the top of my head....
The Warchild drama would have to be included... specifically the early-mid 2000s stuff. Not just Warchild but how certain people kept fueling the drama making it so much worse than it really was.
The "big 3" forums brazenly selling out to GNR management in 2005-6 causing the community to fracture into smaller communities.
The Madison drama at mygnr
That story where some guy supposedly played Better at his high school and everyone started dancing down the hallways will never not be funny.
The 2006 leaks and how crazy the forums were at the time. It was the peak of the forums.... everything was downhill from there.
One of my favorite moments at ROV was when a small group of us were in the horror section discussing the upcoming Halloween movie, Laura/DTJ had received a 'work print' from one of her contacts and Rob Zombie was reading our discussion and talked to me on Myspace begging me not to leak it. He kept reading the thread off and on for awhile.
Anyone remember the name of that porn star that was here for awhile?

9 fucking years!
Insane.
The reunion has lasted almost twice as long as their original run.
#5 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
A Hillary presidency would have been interesting. Could have gone either way.
She wanted to fight WWIII with Russia in Syria.
She's bat shit crazy.
If we gotta have a conflict with Russia, it better be over something a helluva lot more important than Syria.
Not excited Trump won, but I suppose it's the better outcome.
I'm not looking forward to it but that's less against Trump himself and more about how the media responds to him. 2016-2020 was insane. It was like living in a Trump reality show. The media was insufferable.
I have a feeling that I will be watching very little news over the next four years.
#6 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
This is the real scam of this cycle…and who will trust any polls going forward?!
Not me.
I'm not going to bother looking at them anymore. They're ALL meaningless.
Not a single pollster came even remotely close to predicting what happened on election night....not a one.
No one on the left...right...middle...nada.
The only polling that is somewhat relevant at this point is exit polling...and I even question that at this stage of the game.
The rest is garbage.
I'm uncertain as to how the Democrats can call themselves the party of the middle class anymore, but they still attempt to…
They're not.
Both the poor and lower/middle/upper class were abandoned in favor of going balls deep into the culture war woke/racist/SJW nonsense.
They couldn't even devote enough time to scaring women into voting for them over abortion because they have to juggle so much other nonsense simultaneously....women have penises, you're racist if you eat fried chicken or listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd, a Nazi if you don't build statues in honor of criminals, and pure scum if you don't go to the theater and watch all the trash they push in films now.
They can't let up on those because it might give people time to think and then the whole thing could come crashing down.
It's obvious now....people are finally waking up from that nightmare.
If the DNC is smart, they'll finally move on from it.
#7 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
The craziest statistic I've seen (so far) is she didn't get one single vote more than Biden in ANY county in the US.
How is that possible?!? Jesus Christ...someone like Dukakis could've at least gotten a handful.
It really is bat shit crazy how the DNC forced someone this unlikable on the American people. First by handing her the vice presidency on a silver platter and since they knew no one liked her, has to bypass the primary process completely.
We now know liberals didn't even want her. They were willing to experience a second Trump term rather than deal with her. The media clearly didn't like her neither.
Now that it's over you realize how truly bat shit insane this election really was.
I also can't believe I predicted she'd pull out a victory.
She almost caused a handful of blue states to go red!!
Flagg...
Has the GOP transitioned to the party of the middle class not just in terms of voter turnout, but more importantly, culturally?
These are significant numbers. Is it just a reaction to the extreme left represented by Harris, or a genuine movement to the America first populism of Trump?
Some sort of shift is occurring... exactly what it is....I don't know. We gotta see how things develop.
IMO this was a referendum on the woke/SJW culture.
It has to die off now. It's been a complete disaster since day one and now it's having massive impacts on elections. If they don't wake up to this obvious reality check, this country will have a one party system within 1-2 election cycles.
Are they willing to risk their party's extinction over that madness?
They're losing women in droves even though they tried pushing the "women voters will knock Trump out" propaganda. In an era where the GOP stopped fucking around with abortion, they still can't get a female majority to back them.
Could this have something to do with the party no longer able to define what a woman is?
Those feminists were right a few years ago....the left ignoring them would cause one of two things...
1. Abandoning Dems and moving right
2. Sit out the election
They're losing minorities. This shows that the strategy of portraying Republicans as grand wizards of the KKK is a complete failure.
The woke extremism and constant hyperbole about the GOP has to stop.
They spend all their time hating Trump and spewing never ending venom at anyone who doesn't buy into the nonsense...which guaranteed another Trump presidency.
It blows my mind that they wouldn't shut the fuck up about Trump after the 2020 election. It's unbelievable. I said it back then...if they genuinely want rid of him...stop talking about him!!!
Every media outlet even remotely liberal has been a nonstop Trump commercial since he left office. The Trump era could never actually end because they wouldn't allow it to. They did everything in their power to keep him in the headlines....and all they have to show for it is a Trump landslide.
Focus on immigration. Use reconciliation to remove illegals and codify requirements so catch and release doesn’t happen. End birthright citizenship and codify legal residency. Force them to take it to SCOTUS who will rule illegals were never citizens under Wong. Make English the official language. Require ID to vote in federal elections and provide funds to ensure every person gets one.
Use the DoJ to police universities who allow extreme groups to harass and vandalize under free speech and civil rights violations. Deport students on visas guilty of assault and vandalism.
Then work with Democrats to expand Medicare and infrastructure spending. Let’s tackle the pharmaceutical industry and reevaluate what kind of crap is going in our food. But more importantly, quit being a purse for people and nations that think we’re lesser than them.
I'm all for this.
I agree it's time to actually do something concrete. Move on from all this culture war crap. He has been handed a great opportunity....don't waste it.
Ukraine...
Not sure about ending funding but I do agree something has to be done. We're about to enter year 3 of the conflict. Enough is enough.
All we're really doing is bleeding both sides and watching Russia slowly collapse. It's not really worth the amount of money going into it.
Trump is even more pro-Israel than Biden/Harris so that conflict will likely continue. I'd imagine Trump will be less patient with the Houthis so we may end up striking Yemen.
They lost the election.
They don't/won't want to admit this.....
They also lost the culture war.
If they don't wake up...the DNC will get tossed on the ash heap of history.
Worst thing about Trump's victory is Vance is a heartbeat away from the presidency. Supposedly Trump doesn't like him. I'm praying he winds up being the type of VP that is rarely seen or heard from...and I pray Trump is in perfect health for the next four years.
#8 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
Yeah it's over.
They've known for hours.
Looking back on tonight, it became obvious early on that something weird was going on. The statistics weren't adding up like originally thought. I think Georgia might have been the first sign.
Polls are garbage now. Too easy to manipulate and just say whatever the hell they want them to say.
#9 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
Kamala is a sore loser. She went home... abandoning the now thinning crowd while the near 80 year old Trump who they mocked for barely being able to move or stay awake, has pulled an all nighter to address the crowd.
Fuck her.
Concede with whatever shred of dignity you have.
#10 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 20 weeks ago
CNN blaming black men for this disaster.
They're really not going to learn, are they?!?
