War Room Lounge v191: Normal scrutiny should apply

@CubicleGangster

I just noticed in the picture, but being blind in my left eye is why that lens is so dirty. I don't notice it's getting dirty until I need to clean the good side.

I don’t pay much attention to that type of nonsense. I dislike Lindsey immensely though. He’s everything wrong with America in one person.

Except for the gay part, right?

As far as the entertainment industry goes? Not many, tbh. Most of the greats can act/produce/direct, sing or play/act, etc. but not many can act, sing/rap, direct, write, produce, and create viable works in all fields. Ontop of pulling the drama/comedy card so swiftly. His only missing link would be Broadway.

That's true. I mean dude was like 22 writing for 30 Rock. He is an amazing director/writer/actor. Atlanta is one of my favorite shows maybe ever, dude made a Hip Hop Twin Peaks.

Musically he's super diverse as well. Because The Internet was when he really started to come into his own. The entire album is a lot to unpack about existentialism and there's so much symbolism in it. Check this video if you want to have your mind blown. The stuff about infinity even included in the chord progression is fucking wild.

I saw them do a love concert/comedy show at the Tower Theatre back around 2009 and it was probably the best overall performance I've ever seen. The chick in the show was like an opening standup act but it wasn't really standup and she killed it.

Unfortunately the manager wasn't in the performance I saw but I heard he normally kills it as well.

I saw them at Ameoba Music in LA and they were fucking hilarious. Their stage banter is amazing.

Those are just rumors. I don’t pay much attention to those types of things.

I have a tendency to drink a whole twelve pack a night. Sometimes more. So something that tastes good around 6-7.5 is the right balance to keep me from getting disgustingly hammered.

Yeah, I was a 12 pack a nighter awhile back. I had to slow down somehow, so a few 24oz 8%+ cans or a few glasses of wine do it these days. I hate getting bloating from pisswater.

It seems to me, that law enforcement has a much higher percentage of fat people, than most other jobs.

It's the biggest open secret in congress. Old man from the south who has never married, with that kind of vernacular.

Either way, I found that in the beginning of Trump's administration, he showed a bit of courage by fighting him. Then all of a sudden, like Rudy, he became a total bitch and defended Trump at every situation, regardless of right/wrong.

I never feel bloated just warm and content.

I honestly don’t care who he bangs. It changes nothing. He’s a scum bag if he’s straight gay whatever the case may be. He’s a shite human. Who he bangs doesnt matter one bit to me.

Yeah it’s up there. Any job where you’re stuck in a vehicle for over 8 hours a day, having only brief periods to eat (leading lots to fast food) will result in some obesity. Commercial drivers lead in obesity and then I think cops are next. It’s really bad for the traffic enforcement officers. Other units are not as bad.

I know its not fair to include COs, as they mostly are people that couldnt make it as police officers, but they dont have the same excuse, yet seem to be even more obese.

@Highmanproblems

here’s a link that breaks it down by race/gender

Pretty interesting. But of course I’m technically “obese” based on BMI but I’m built like a prime Mark Coleman

That is good.

@Gregolian you ever heard of The Battle of Stamford bridge?

The sudden appearance of the English army caught the Norwegians by surprise.[14] The English advance was then delayed by the need to pass through the choke-point presented by the bridge itself. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has it that a giant Norse axeman (possibly armed with a Dane Axe) blocked the narrow crossing and single-handedly held up the entire English army. The story is that this axeman cut down up to 40 Englishmen and was defeated only when an English soldier floated under the bridge in a half-barrel and thrust his spear through the planks in the bridge, mortally wounding the axeman

I had from a friend that was an exchange student from the area near Scotland.

Family coat of arms has a hidden Mjolnir in it so..... lol.

My understanding is it’s the inspiration for Rollo fighting on the causeway in the early seasons of Vikings holding off the French

Oh she's checking some boxes alright.

I didn't like her at first but she's really grown me, downright love her at this point.

The point you made later on about how she's better off serving in Congress is true but at the same time if she ran for POTUS I would love to vote for her.

Its a shame that former president's don't stick around, imagine if Obama ran for Senate. Who could beat him?

Never forget the true Queen.

I'm fucking dying watching this, so satisfying to watch from an aesthetic and comedic stand point.

If that was me I'm just pulling guard and trying to roll into a heel hook or something.

I don’t think you want to be pulling guard on that cave troll.

I've never seen a justification for it, but part of me thinks it's because of parliamentary procedure. It would be some stupid shit like that given how arcane and "handshake deal" our government can be. The only higher position is presumably SCOTUS justice, which was only done with Taft.

I think John Adams was in the House fo Representatives for a while after being POTUS but yeah that was a long time ago so shows how unlikely that is.

It seems to have to do with the fact that as a former POTUS you can just become super rich really easily with book deals and consulting gigs and whatnot so most former presidents don't care to return to politics in a lower position. But imagine how uniquely influential a Senator or House rep who was the POTUS could be?

True but definitely don't want to shoot on her either
