The Tent – 8/22/2026
67 replies“The Tent” is OT in the truest sense of the word. ALMOST anything goes. Politics, religion, daily events from the world outside of sports.
We ask only that you adhere to the Community Standard’s we’ve always had, which can be summed up simply as “Be nice and not a dick.”
This means that the OTs are now and forever more NO POLITICS, NO RELIGION, NO HOT BUTTON TOPICS. That all goes under the tent, with the flap closed.
Everything else, Football, other sports, jokes, music, “this happened to me today”, can all go anywhere you want to put it. Here, there, fanpost, up to you. The site is your oyster (or clam, if you prefer clam chowder … and lobster is expensive).
We will refresh this from time to time, which will means that the old one will pretty much drop to several pages back, but will still be available, if you want it.

I know this is old news, but still worth posting. This administration is full of traitors. It will get worse the closer the election gets. Our Republic is is in jeapordy, and some tell us both parties are at fault. No They Are Not!! The republican party and it’s supporters are the threat!!!
Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 592), it is a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison to deploy troops or armed men to any location where an election is being held, unless necessary to repel armed enemies of the country.
Officials in Texas’ third-largest county voted Tuesday to significantly reduce the number of polling sites for this fall’s midterm elections, drawing protests from Democrats and voting rights advocates.
Commissioners in Tarrant County, a fast-growing and politically competitive area that includes Fort Worth, approved a plan that results in 92 fewer Election Day polling locations compared with the 2022 midterms. The roughly 30% reduction leaves the county with 224 polling sites to serve 1.3 million voters. Voters in the county are able to cast ballots at any of those polling sites.
Gee, I don’t know. Does that sound like a threat to you?

Seriously? This site is a perfect example of what I was referring to below. You know, “the indoctrination.”
the new bard
Just now listened to this. Gotta tell you Pomp, I get your resentment towards the church. We are coming at this from opposite sides, but there is no way in the world that the American people should need protection from the evangelical church. I’ve said it before here, and I’ll say again. IMO the evangelical movement Is Not a Christian movement now. To be honest, I’m not sure if it ever was Christian. Looking back at it, I can see the indoctrination. Makes me sad that so many evangelicals have fallen for this. They are a disgrace to the Gospel.
I completely agree, there is no going back to how the government operated before this nightmare. He has some pretty interesting opinions. “We The People” need to reclaim our authority over these things in office. I’ve had enough of corporations running this country.
A- Fuckin’ – Men !!! … ; )
( No Trading of Stocks by Federal Officials, Their Families or Friends from the President on Down to Pages w/o a Conflict of Interest Monitoring Board of 3 w/ the Power to Seize Assets & Fine Abusers w/ a “Pete Rose Clause ” of ” One Strike & You’re Out !!! ” … ; )
I just hope somebody’s keeping a list of things that need to be fixed !!! … ; (
Trust me, Pomp has a list ready to go!
sorry, not enough HD space for it all, would need my own personal data center, and ain’t no one got time/patience for a 30,000 slide PowerPoint presentation
I do like now that a mainstream centrist dem openly advocated for expanding scotus to 13 (which would bring it in line with circuit/appeals cts, the very rationale for the expansion to the current 9) Rs are going to attempt a bill to freeze in their supermajority.
can’t say I blame them, spent 5 decades to stack the court in their favor, they’ve bought the power to disallow it ever happening again…MURICA
Didn’t hear anything from these people until now. They hired an attack dog to go after what they hate. Now that the attack dog has turned on them, we are supposed to empathize with them? I do. This is what those who were paying attention feared, and were ridiculed for it. Hopefully America has learned it’s lesson, and we can start caring about each other. Regardless of how we identify, we all deserve to be treated with respect and kindness!

Citizen United decision brought us here, and it was a bs care, like Dobbs, that need not be heard,
case law, precedent and potential harm were all disregarded, for plaintiffs with no real harm claim.
CU could have found a legal funding option/workaround to commit $200,000 to an election…..now billionaires can earmark @100,000,000 IN A PRIMARY YEAR
why would someone who conducted a failed coup want an Army with no senate confirmed leadership, puzzling…

BREAKING: Army Secretary Dan Driscoll RESIGNS. Driscoll is the guy Buria told to approve certain firings because “Trump won’t want to stand next to Black female officers.” The Army now has ZERO Senate-confirmed civilian or military leaders. http://www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

All the crap about how we’d rather die standing than live on our knees is a bunch of horseshit.
We’re cowards and fools.
saw that svc members claiming conscientious objector to get out of deployment, or service entirely, have spiked…..
drop in the bucket.
I no longer trust rank and file enlisted to know, or even care, if given orders are illegal and that UCMJ requires such orders be ignored. They grew up in the era where that ethos is discounted.
Hell, FBI dropping standards so goat fuckers and embezzlers are not disqualified.
Obviously, my statement is a blanket one that covers a whole lot of people unfairly.
It’s just upsetting to see some people kneel to power, money, and fear, especially the ones who say they are the only real patriots.
Patriotism is like a brand now, with logos and spokesmen. So many companies use the word in their name. It’s just imagery of flags, buildings, founding fathers, eagles, and even tanks and jets. That type of patriotism is shallow and meaningless if you ignore HOW and WHY we are who we are. I was joking with my gf that we could easily sell “Patriot brand” nipple clamps at MAGA events, simply because they are “Patriot brand” and are red, white, and blue. If you’re not wearing Patriot brand nipple clamps, can you even call yourself a patriot?
Not liking those clamps means you’d have nipple derangement syndrome.
LOL! I love it!
fair, currently
ignore original prompt and clean the river

why would someone risk voting illegally and subject themselves to criminal prosecution and deportation?
….oh yeah, they don’t
there are mistakes where non-citizens can legally vote in locals and thus believe that applies to federal as well
there are mistakes where a woman was charged with fraud for voting after her election board told her explicitly that her rights had been restored…sentenced to five yrs prison, took a year of more to get overturned iirc
We’ve all seen the percentage of illegal voting, and we know it’s almost nothing. Doesn’t stop these a……s though.
0.0000002 rate does not require an onus on all
no possible way a trade war with Canada will affect americans?
it really is 1984’s final rule…
gop can hide & try to run away, but it;s soooo tied ,,,help us sweet smelling baby heysoos
So, are we still allowed to vote or are they gonna go ahead with canceling the midterms?
the USPS ballot thing is being shot down, can’t see DOJ’s appeal changing the const fact that the exec has any authority in the matter or that it falls outside of the USPS mandate to deliver the fucking mail, even the 0.0001 illegitimate ballots that will not be counted anyway
flooding the zone is always the move
We’ll see what the supreme clown show decides. You’re right, “The People” need to show up in force!
Hang On Kids ! … The Mango Mussolini’s got his Sharpie out again … Instead of the “Gulf of America ” … Now he’s ” Changing ” Lake Ontario to ” Lake America ” … I Shit You Not … What an Ultra Marroon … : )
also Kennedy Ctr board saying the building will have to come down if agolf shitler’s name cannot be on it…..for reasons?
$$? they claimed massive donations when he took over but the financials say different.
were those donations contingent on renaming? can one recover a donation after the fact? did he funnel the $$ to himself?
one wonders
Canada has always had our back….
That’s more than I can say for a lot of americans…

He then buys huge amounts of stock in Boeing the day before Boeing gets a huge govt contract. The most crooked POTUS of all time.
A rope would be too kind to that mf-er.
