"Talked to him about a month ago on Facebook. He was in Afghanistan."

Go to the 3:25 mark. Actually, watch the whole thing,, Gus Chiggins is pretty close to my exact image of Crotch...

Exactly

Heh..... that's good stuff right there, Hedge, good stuff. You're not too far off on that either. The older I get, the more I'm starting to be like ol' Gus... in some ways to be honest. You will be too someday. Just give it a few more years and wait and see.

[Jungle Rat]

Shut it old fart.

As long as I can still make the sound of a chipmunk, I can live with it...

[Jungle Rat]

You make that sound every time your asshole is breached. Nothing new.

[crotch]

I definitely think that was photoshopped...

[Jungle Rat]

I don't. Crotch would never do such a thing. Besides, he's old. Probably has one of those expanded keyboards so he can see the letters. His diaper probably already smells and it's only 8:30

Shout out to the states of Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, Vermont, South Dakota, and New Mexico; Happy Columbus Day!

[hedge]

Why those states?

I don't know, Hedge. Looks pretty authentic to me.

Those states have banned Columbus Day.

[Jungle Rat]

Your point?

an article worth reading - a liberal living in Iowa

So the state of Iowa might be in play in the 2020 election. But around here, conservative rural America isn’t in play and may never be. It will stand by Mr. Trump and will likely never vote for a Democrat.

A local Republican Party official and attorney tells me the Democrats are wasting time with impeachment, and that he’s sad that their party doesn’t have statesmen anymore “like Tip O’Neill, Evan Bayh and Ted Kennedy.” They have been replaced, he said, by lefties like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

"an article worth reading - a liberal living in Iowa"

The picture of the old man in the striped magenta shirt at the beginning of that article says it all...

That article also points out one of the ironies of the Trump presidency: Rural economies are doing very badly (as the article stated, Trump's favoring of Big Oil has had a lot to do with 3 ethanol plants in Iowa shutting down, and farmers are "hemorrhaging money," but irregardless, they still support Trump. Meanwhile, the big cities and urban areas are raking in the money, and they hate Trump. Obviously that's a generalization, but it's mostly true...

This whole China thing with the NBA kinda being out in the open now, it dovetails with an interesting thing I've come across with some of the history content I watch on YouTube. Basically, creators who had been doing well and making some money making basically educational or comedic videos about historical events have started to have their videos demonetized by YouTube's robot moderation system. Basically the video still gets posted but they make no money from it and YouTube doesn't suggest or drive traffic to those videos. The effect is basically whitewashing their whole content base to provide the blandest possible slurry to appeal to the maximum possible international advertisers, presumably.

The robots don't seem to like any videos about WW2 or, interestingly and perhaps unsurprisingly, communism. Here's an interesting video about it, but more from the LGBTQ community viewpoint, which videos also seem to be impacted.
