I do pretty well reading/understanding Portuguese. My problem in the past has been in conversation and I get stuck on a word or phrase. I also need them to slow down when speaking not like slooooowwww but at least at a normal pace.

Ask yourself how many other communities have an oculus, and there’s your answer.

Unfortunately, I think JuJu is currently suffering from a little too much hype and her game right now is a little sub par because of it. Being anointed as the next "Caitlin" is grossly unfair at this point in her career.

Waiting for @FAUlty Gator and @binsfeldcyhawk2 to chime in to either apologize for being wrong for years or to tell us how this isn't authoritarianism, or no big deal. Again, you guys want checks and balances and Trump 100% wants to blow that up. Project 2025, or that famous red herring, wants to blow the Constitution up. I'm waiting for the both sides guys to start getting pissed off about what's about to happen to their country.

Hahahahahaha. Holy shit, you’re nuts.

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD. That’s what nonsense you’ve been spewing. Democracy is dead. Again, are you more gullible or stupid to think Trump is going to single handedly destroy our Constitutional form of government. The Truitt’s that you want it to happen so bad. You can’t even wait until it happens (which it never will) to claim some sort of half assed victory on something you’ve clearly already moved the goalposts on.

You can @ me when Democracy is dead and then I’ll apologize all over myself. Until then, keep my name out of your mouth and cry to all the other dopes you keep getting likes from.

How do you skip the chance to come in and likely be Iowa's top scorer every year that you're on campus?

Ukraine had a ton of nukes until we convinced them to get rid of them. We promised to defend them from Russia. Whoops.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.


How does backing a violent coup against the duly elected government fit under the rubric of 'respecting the Independence and Sovereignty' of Ukraine?

Every year or so ill go up to Dubuque for a night. Not sure i could do more than a night or two but always a good time. Fun town

I enjoy Bellevue a lot too. Lot of good hidden gems there

Galena drives me insane but god damn do women love it

Dubuque as a standalone city isn't fantastic, but it has a nice little downtown, the harbor area and riverfront is pretty cool, and you are close to good trout fishing, skiing and only an hour from the Quads, 1.5 hours from Madison, a couple hours from Iowa City and in one of the few geologically/topographically interesting parts of the state.

NOT Authoritarian at all, right? You checks and balances guys...you good with this or are we still burying our heads in the sand?

"His plan, known as “impoundment,” threatens to provoke a major clash over the limits of the president’s control over the budget. The Constitution gives Congress the sole authority to appropriate the federal budget, while the role of the executive branch is to dole out the money effectively. But Trump and his advisers are asserting that a president can unilaterally ignore Congress’ spending decisions and “impound” funds if he opposes them or deems them wasteful."

How Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From Congress

The second-term president likely will seek to cut off spending that lawmakers have already appropriated, setting off a constitutional struggle within the branches. If successful, he could wield the power to punish perceived foes.

That sounds like a great idea. It’s sad that the D’s continue to spend money we don’t have.

You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with certain posters here, me being one of them. About 99% of your posts are filled with hate, anger, and vitriol which can only mean you aren't happy with yourself and probably your life in general. Your inability to take a joke or just have a normal back and forth is just more evidence of this.

So again are you okay? Is there anything going on at home that you want to talk about? Are you not satisfying your partner in the bedroom? How's your relationship with your father?

Also, if you get pulled over and have tinted windows, NEVER think it’s ok NOT to roll your window down and keep it down when an officer asks you to. Simple as that. Police are trained to assume you are hiding something if you do that and you continue to not comply, and their mood and attitude goes from ‘routine traffic stop’ to ‘I'll violate your rights and get away with it’ in about .5 seconds.

So you believe McCarthy when he says it, but don't believe him when he says it's a joke. How do you decide what to believe?
