Just for Fun

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Surprisingly, NOLA started down when Carlos Marcello and his boys lost control of the city. Keeping the city safe was good for their "businesses".
Yes, but in addition to that there was the resultant crime from the post-Katrina turmoil. Since 2022, however, violent crime has gone down about 40%. Current crime rate is lowest in last 50 years. https://orleansda.com/new-orleans-homic ... eductions/

Hell, trump says crime is at its highest level ever and that prices are down. Somebody's running a hoax. I wonder who it could be.

The white liberal in red jacket got knocked out cold with one punch. How embarrassing for several liberals to be protesting ICE law enforcement then Deputies had to save them after initiating a confrontation with one man from which they failed to prevail.

I thought about making a new thread called "How Many Are In It?" trump is set to make his state of the union address Tuesday. I was going to ask how many lies will he tell during the event. I realize it all depends on how long he babbles, but I'm gonna guess 35 lies. That CNN guy usually fact checks trump's statements of any length.

I think he could top 35 in the first 5-10 minutes. If he talks for an hour, he'll hit a average rate of one per minute I'm guessing. Let me know what the total turns out to be. I won't be watching our counting.

What GoCubsGo says +1.

We could also count the number of times he whines that he or MAGA has suffered some affront. I'll go for 100 on that one.

Over/ under on the stollen election that he won bigly? I'd say four.

Don't forget he's gonna slam Biden as the worst president evah.

AOC and Biden have common characteristics, mumbling, stumbling.

Is it possible AOC would have more success from a teleprompter? :lol:

I was counting 2020 among his whines, and I'll take six on that one.

With "Simian" Obama as second worst.

I'm gonna stick with 35 even though it's on the low side. And he will often state the same lie more than once in the same speech, so when he does that it will only count as one lie. I'll probably watch; it should be funnier than an SNL episode of "What's That Bitch Talkin' About?"

I've heard some will play a drinking game with the speech - each time the crowd hears and yells "lie" everybody chugs. I'd expect the speech to way outlast the game.

I'll pass. I don't want to associate good booze with a bad P*OTUS.

Some appropriate drinks might be:

Nope, good night to wash my hair.

I wonder if he'll outperform his Kennedy Center Honors show.
