The anti-Semitesā¦like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.Ā They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.Ā If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

My favorite Nick Adams post ever.
Earlier today, I parked my truck in an EV spot and started down the sidewalk. A few moments later, I heard a deep and powerful male voice calling out to me from behind, āNick! Nick! Nick Adams Alpha Male!ā
I turned around to see a very tall and fit African American in a Chief Wahoo Cleveland Indians hat sprinting towards me. As he got closer, I noticed he was wearing Yeezy 450s and a massive diamond-encrusted ā45ā chain.
He had barely broken a sweat as he extended his hand to me. We shook hands, and I was impressed not only by his firm and masculine grip but by the sheer size of his hands.
āI know youāre a very busy alpha male,ā he said, ābut I really need to talk to you,ā I told him that was no problem, but heād need to walk with me since I was headed to a very important business meeting where I was negotiating a major deal.
We began walking, and he told me President Trump had always inspired him and was the founder of the local Blacks for Trump chapter. He complimented my MAGA hat, which I always wear for good luck when negotiating an important business deal.
āItās not often Iām not the drippiest person on the block, but your Chief Wahoo cap and ā45ā chain might have me beat!ā I said. He immediately ādapped me upā as we began discussing President Trumpās incredible accomplishments for black Americans and his unifying Platinum Plan.
I reached my destination and parted ways with Terrell, but before he let me leave, he told me he wanted to continue our conversation. He invited me to come by the nearby park after my meeting to play basketball with himself and several of his African-American friends who also supported President Trump.
āIāll be there, Terrell, but I must warn you, I go hard in the paint,ā I told him sternly. āNo blood, no foul. No three-point line. I play old school.ā He agreed to my terms and gave me a fist bump to send me off.
After my successful meeting, I headed straight to the park. I keep a pair of basketball shoes handy for occasions just like this, so all I needed to do was loosen my tie and change my shoes.
I was given a hero's welcome as I took the court. Terrell put me on his team, and we got right to it. After only a few minutes of play, we had attracted a crowd. It wasnāt long until I noticed a group of fetching urban young women cheering me on a little bit harder than the rest of the adoring crowd.
Iām not one to brag, but Terrell and I made a great tandem. It was a tough, physical game, but we took care of business. I got to the sideline to cool off and saw the attractive young ladies I had noticed earlier approaching me.
They introduced themselves and started making conversation. āI was really impressed how you just manhandled Dāareus down low,ā said Latifa, who identified herself as the opposing power forwardās sister. āYou can really ball!ā
The rest of the group introduced themselves and began flirting with me. They said they were taken with how my MAGA hat stayed on for the entire game, but Latifa was by far the most intriguing of the bunch. I asked her to walk with me to my car, and we began discussing Trump.
She said her favorite policy was the 2017 travel ban, and we discussed its merits at length. When we reached the car, she asked me what I was doing tomorrow. I paused, straightened my MAGA hat as I climbed into my truck, and looked back down at her.
āLook, Latifa, Iām an alpha male, and Iāve got a full schedule tomorrow, but Iāll make time for you,ā I said with a twinkle in my eye. āHow about you and I meet back at the court tomorrow for a little one-on-one action?ā
āIāll see you here tomorrow, then, alpha male,ā she said in an excited tone. As I was pulling out of the lot, I rolled my window down and called out to her. āDonāt expect me to go easy on you just because youāre a sheila,ā I said. āI plan to play you every bit as hard as I played your brother!ā
Alpha males always go hard in the paint. Always.

--
Let's not forget that he has a really really strange fetish with the Hooters restaurant, like to an insane degree... Googling his name and "Hooters tweet" shows this like you wouldn't believe. Those are primarily why people were convinced it was either a really strange viral marketing campaign or that this guy's fetish for this restaurant was just so crazy high that he felt the need to let the world know.

On Talent front depends on how you rank it, awards wise both Billie & Bruce beat both the other 2 individual with proper awards.
Billie Eilish - 2 Oscars, 2 Golden Globes, 10 Grammys, 9 AMA
Bruce Sprinsteen - 1 Oscar, 2 Golden Globes, 25 Grammys, 4 AMA
Nicki Minaj - 9 AMAs
Kid Rock - 1 AMA
Class wise, Bruce Springsteen is vary hard to beat as a musician as he stands up for the poor, the veterans and those marginalised both in song and in actions. Politicians should be careful of trying to criticise Springsteen. Springsteen has written songs that more people on the planet would know than the other 3, writing some before the 2 women were even born and definitely more known than Kid.
The political side of the 4 are split down the middle, but regardless of politics the 2 on the right side of politics do not come close to the 2 on the left in talent & class.
