Testosterone and HGH therapy is a game changer folks.  Started about four weeks ago and made a few diet tweaks......so far at 27 lbs gone and my energy throughout the day is steadliy improving.

what was your level before starting

It was sub 200.  I think around 170 if I remember correctly.

Is it the type of stuff that can boost your muscle growth in work outs and make a fellas look better naked? If so, I may be interested

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Supreme Court Cases Thread

« on: April 25, 2024, 07:19:20 PM »

I mean, name one politician you could trust with that power? 

There is no human that can go through what is needed to go through to be president that wouldn't abuse the crap out of that power. 

Something like 20-30 companies would effectively hold that same power immediately upon the ruling being made.  Is this not setting up the king for a day scenario, but forever instead of a day?

I didn't listen to the argument and don't know what the specific case issues are, but it seems to me like SCOTUS could easily avoid almost all the legal questions involved by just saying there is no way you can consider a president's conspiracy to undermine his own elected ouster to be an "official act" of a president. That is, quite possibly, the most ridiculous thing I could imagine any U.S. court ruling--much less the Supreme Court.

Trump's position is premised on the argument that he should only be subject to criminal prosecution if he is impeached and convicted by the senate, but if undermining the political process itself is part of the immunity then that qualification is meaningless in the hands of a tyrant, who could simply threaten/coerce/assassinate any who would seek to carry out impeachment proceedings. The democratic experiment would be over.

That may sound alarmist, but what I'm actually getting at here is "losing" this case only means that the Supreme Court declines to give clearer instructions as to whether immunity for criminal charges is ever an option for acts taken by a president. There's no way he gets out of facing charges for Jan. 6.

Unless Trump wins, I assume.

There's still the Georgia case.

I assume Trump’s day 1  focus is to pardon himself and friends of any and all federal crimes, and petition the SC to stop that Georgia case.

the scene in detroit looks hot, makes our hosting look completely amateur

The timing was just bad luck. Obviously it would be wall to wall Taylor’s Version if this year was in KC.

zero percent chance i'm wasting an international trip to be surrounded by people from iowa.

Didn’t think of it this way until just now.

I have seen scenarios where we trade way up for a WR or a LT.

that would be sweet

Let’s do a Ricky Williams deal for Marvin and then have Andy Reid be the one wearing the wedding dress on the cover of the magazine.

My secret wish (does not leave this thread) is that we make huge waves and trade up for Marvin Harrison.

My guess is that we trade up two to four spots for a OT we really like.

It is indeed for my stabbin cabin, and I make no apologies for it. I like to shoot sporting clays, but am new to it and not very good. Decent at trap, but those clays are trickier.  I’m not a very big hunter but feel little remorse blasting birds, because they are descended from dinosaurs and I am anti-dinosaur. How I was raised.

I probably won’t get a new Citori. Will probably get a used “field” one so that it’s more useful regardless of circumstances.

Depends upon how broad it can be interpreted. Biden really should consider arresting trump and putting him in Guantanamo as an enemy combatant. They can sort it all out in December.

I’m seeing Dead and Co there next month!

He has limitations between the tackles but if he makes someone miss is space he's going to the house.

Meh, run him until he needs a breather and rinse and repeat. No limitations.

Lionel + EWF at the Sprint Center in June   

hell yeah

Man, I hate the sprint center for concerts. That would have been better placed at midland or sandstone, but all the venue determination crap seems mysterious to me.

I think the MOD'S need to step up and use all of the gE advertising funds to land Edwards on a NIL deal instead of using it to buy SD's kid new bat's (1 Cold weather and 1 warm weather) every year and Pete a new boat.

Here’s a teaser for you, the gE funds are going to a KSU squad….but which one?????  Announcement coming as early as next week

You know that scene in Apollo 13 where they go into the room with a bucket of parts and say “invent something to save astronauts?”  Clams would have really thrived in that environment, engineering degree or not.

Would 'clams even fit in that room? Not that it would matter because he would have saved Tom Hanks no matter what it took.

Your guess is as good as mine

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Cars.... How far have you went before getting a new one?

« on: April 23, 2024, 11:45:54 AM »

I really want the new Tacoma, but I am going to be very strong and attempt to wait another year to see if they bring a dark green color option back. Ideally, I want dark green with brown leather interior. Failing that, I wait to see if 2026 brings a new Tundra.

It’s going to be very hard to wait. This is probably what the Israelites felt like in the desert.

I'm afraid to ask but what is a Z-blogger

Z = Russia

Russia themselves paints the letter “Z” on their tanks and stuff.  Typically, those same tanks are destroyed by a Ukrainian dude on a 1976 Honda enduro 125 with a shoulder fired rocket.

Elian Gonzalez notwithstanding, how many children did we steal in Cuba? How many Cuban churches destroyed? Rape camps? Torture? Conscripted criminals?
