The Gallery of Just Plain Assholes (Part 2)

That is infuriating! We have to pay into that fund like $500 each every year as part of our license renewal. This asshat can fuck off a very steep cliff, man!

I think I need something bigger than a falcon to go hunting for Bobby and Don Jrs

Worst Falcon and the Snowman remake ever. Though interesting casting with Don Jr as the coke addict.

Columbus’ true identity and ethnic background have remained a bone of contention among scholars for centuries.

Although purportedly buried in Spain (due to his explorations having been funded by the Crowns of Spain), he has traditionally been claimed to have been a native of Genoa, in Italy.

This hasn’t stopped countries like the Dominican Republic from claiming to be the final resting place of Columbus’ remains, and it hasn’t stopped wider speculation that his origins might be found as far afield as Hungary or Poland.

Many (including this writer), have wondered if Columbus may in fact have been of Jewish background, and chose to keep this quiet due to the Jewish, Romani, and Moorish Muslim expulsions taking place in Catholic Iberia during the 1490s.

It is already certain that Columbus included Jewish translators and Ciganos (Iberian Gypsies) among his expedition members. Remember that he was aiming to find a route to China and the East Indies, where he expected to encounter Jewish merchants.

Whatever comes of today’s announcement, it will remain an historical fact that Columbus was a wealth, status, and power-seeking scoundrel who brought nothing but pain, torture, disease, slavery, death, and genocide to the indigenous Taino people of the island he would rename “Hispaniola” - the modern Dominican Republic and Haiti.

The girls were told to do the bear crawls and crab walks for a mile, but most weren’t able to continue after two laps due to the pain, some even got physically sick from it. The girls said the punishment happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 2 p.m. One of the parents went to the track to check the temperature that afternoon and said it was at least 125 degrees.

“We told her our hands are burning, and she said she didn’t care, and she made us go back down on the track,” one of the cheerleaders, who asked to remain anonymous, said.

According to the parents, the coach threatened the girls’ future careers in cheer if they didn’t complete the punishment. Afterward, some girls went to see the school nurse, but still, they said they didn’t get a call from the school about their daughters’ injuries. The cheerleaders ended up with first and second-degree burns. At least one cheerleader was seen at the University Medical Center burn unit.

Sadly, there is no sport with a monopoly on sadistic coaches. The profession seems to attract assholes. There are, of course, some that sre great. I got to experience both ends of that spectrum in my athletic career. The assholes do tend to leave marks, though.

[ETA] Can I say that if she actual had a moral, political center, facing criticism would not cause her to embrace right wing political views. It’s not about problem solving and embracing political ideals for her, it’s about power and lining her pockets…

Yeah, Cenk isn’t exactly enlightened, either. He’s currently on Xitter saying it doesn’t matter whether you vote for Harris or Trump because nothing will change either way.

I’ve never liked TYT, but used to occasionally watch segments of theirs and even in that limited viewership, I noticed a change in their coverage of things. My guess is their viewership has declined over the years and they finally took a payout.

Or they could see an opportunity in going red… at least that’s a solid audience that is less likely to be critical and will back their support with dollars.
