Let's get a house in Eugene for his family.

JD Vance is a fucking idiot

Living in Tennessee I’ve obviously been living in Trump country. Last election people gave me shit for voting for Biden but this time is different. I’ve been shocked in the last few days how many of the people I would assume would vote Trump have told me fuck no. I was talking to a good friend and she said her husband isn’t voting for Trump. I said I was kind of shocked since he owns a business and she replied that he also has a wife and a daughter. I thought that was an incredibly powerful response from her. Trump was bad enough but the cringe of Vance has really done it. This group has always gotten along and it’s been me and one other person that has went to the left the last 6 years against the other 8. We would always light heartedly give each other shit but we always knew to just not really talk about and have fun. Here lately, it’s almost like they are making a point to let me know what they are doing vote wise. Kind of cool to see honestly. It probably helps these are educated people.

I was on the phone with my father-in-law earlier this week, and I was absolutely flabbergasted by how he spoke of Trump and his supporters. His comment in summation was, "I just don't understand how people can be that stupid." And that's shocking for two reasons: 1) his brother (whom he very much loves) is a huge MAGAt, and 2) I'm reasonably certain he voted for Trump in 2016. I'm not exactly sure what happened along the way. Maybe it was the disparagement of the military--my FIL was a Ranger in Vietnam. Maybe it was the mishandling of COVID; he and my MIL did everything right during the pandemic. But whatever it was, I'm happy for it. Even happier for the fact that he lives in North motherfucking Carolina.

Making sure a mentally ill severely stupid unfit criminal doesn’t hold the nuclear football ever again is the only common ground that matters right now.

The Big House - Best Venue to Experience a College Football Game. No arguments. i've been waiting to see a game in Ann Arbor for 45 years. Rarely in life does the reality exceed the expectation. Cherish it when it happens. (Kicking their ass right out of the gate certainly helped.) My hosts gave me their UM parking pass on campus, and I walked down frat/sorority row to the tailgate. The boys in groups, behind the fences, were rowdy, but tame. Lots of good natured trash talking, and lots of girls in boots and skirts. Guess that is a more universal thing now. Other than "Michigan" sprinkled in a few places, the scoreboard was the only "advertising" in the stadium. Nothing resembling a 360 degree facade with as many words and numbers as it takes to fill the space. Simplicity of design --> compact, but not crowded -- > Not a bad seat in the house (How would I know? I only had 1 seat). There were a lot of Texas fans there, all over the place. I saw Texas people everywhere I went for 5 days. The amount of Burnt Orange was masked by the home crowd in Maize. Blue and Orange would have made a great contrast, but Michigan has some smart people. You could clearly see their student section. The tunnels are at ground level, with the field ~ 50 rows below. Left my seat, walked up 10 rows, through the tunnel, concessions to the right, bathrooms on the left (long lines for mens, no lines for women, WTF?), This is the first game they started selling beer. Beer line in my area mid 3rd quarter, before they ran out. Every body in line was from Texas. The little caboose in the white boots ... was a stark contrast to the 7,000 HP Steam Locomotive at The Henry Ford Museum. 1, x. You're just gonna have to take my word. I took her picture with her camera, and she took my picture with mine. Dumb ass!!! @immamac , you Fucking Rock!!! Tailgate was off the charts. Good time!!! I went to the adjacent Michigan tailgate when I saw the open liquor table in the middle. Hannah was a Michigan 10, (Surly 9, she was with her Michigan boyfriend), tan legs for miles. I tried to pace myself, still had 3 beers and 3 whiskeys, before the game. Tailgate pig.MP4 Ann Arbor reminded of the Austin I grew up in; everybody was in town for the football game. Texas fans and friendly people everywhere. Met a lot of cuties 😋... and later, their boyfriends and husbands 🙁. Michigan Stadium in the background, behind the scoreboard. You know how to get a smile like that after 3 hours of getting your spirit crushed? Motown Musuem. Already knew the story, just had to see the Icon. (HBO's "Hitsville: The Making of Motown" is a must watch for anybody who likes music.) More Henry Ford Museum. 1956 Thunderbird, my birth year. To summarize, visited Michigan*(45 down, 5 to go). got to sing The Eyes of Texas, in The Big House, after crushing the Defending National Champions ; legally acquired 1/2 oz. of "All Gas" Cannabis Flower from The Flower Bowl Dispensary ($21); toured The Henry Ford Museum (kinda like Mecca for Mechanical Engineers), the Motown Museum, not just timeless, great music, but a pivotable piece in the changing cultural fabric of the USA. * Interesting fact I learned in a bar at 1 am. There is no South Detroit (sorry Steve Perry). South of Detroit is the Detroit River, and Windsor, Canada.

Good.

Well move over Harper Lee

All these neocons endorsing Harris got me like

OK, it's a common misconception that the front of his diaper is shit-filled. The feces in front mostly gets stopped by his cork-like nut-sack, maybe getting about halfway up before congealing in the matted hair and wrinkles. Loomer's job is to slobber on and clean the peen, which is constantly leaking urine. I haven't watched her technique lately, but I assume she laps up the liquid bits first, then peels off the rindy solidified dick coating that must stick to her molars like the hard part of a blood-booger, so she alternates between licking him then trying to dig the green remnants out of her own teeth. After 12 minutes of that, I imagine he achieves climax by peeing and farting, and that's where she gets her chin speckled with dried poo, but she can use the pulsating high-pressure pee (think of water through a small hose) to clean it off.

Saw Trump land in Tucson, I was flipping him the bird. And for later when crowd size gets brought up:

Zelus Hicks to Texas!!!

Scrolling through

Growing up my dad was always my summer league coach. We threw the ball and I hit the ball for hours in our backyard and on the field. I had the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level but turned down the offers to attend UT instead. So effectively the baseball connection with my dad ended after we were bounced from the playoffs my senior year of high school. This past May my dad turned 80. I bought him a new glove and some baseballs. I went to his house and asked him if he had a glove and some balls. He gave me a strange look. I followed him to a closet where he had 6 to 8 gloves and a bucket of balls. It told him that I bought him a new one just in case he did not have one because I wanted to play catch. He couldn’t grab a glove fast enough. We went into the backyard, with my mom sitting on the porch watching, and played “catch” for about an hour. That is the first time that we had played catch in 40 years. A flood of memories came back. He loved every second of it.

Is ... Tarp ... one of us?

MAGA is a terrorist movement. It's not much more complicated than that. If Donald Trump had brown skin and lived in the middle east, we'd have hit him with a drone strike years ago.

With the energy surrounding Kamala and a bench with people like Pete, the GOP is fucked as long as they continue to tie the anchor that is maga to their ankle.

Some of it was from us. Sitting in the living room, watching the post-debate discussion, wife pulls out her phone and says "I'm on ActBlue, how much this time?" I told her. I have no idea how much we're up to, but it's likely more than we've ever given any other candidate for any office.

I agree wholeheartedly, but it's also absurd that basically everyone in CFB media believes that they have all kinds of talent as well. If anyone would actually just look at their roster objectively, and also consider who they have lost and gained in the last two portal cycles, it would be as obvious to them as it was to some of us this offseason. The reality is, this is not a talented team compared to its perceived peer set. The portal killed them, the evaluations killed them and I believe a lack of development is killing them. To me, this is a Chuckles Year One team or perhaps worse. Everyone points to that dumb talent composite index without even superficial examination of it. It ignores the transfer value of a player and merely recalls their HS rating. So, basically it is simply about recruiting rankings stacked year over year. If a program is hitting on their 4 and 5 star, evaluations and actually developing talent, the index looks correct. The index is dismissive of development for non-highly ranked players. Gunnar Helm actually pulls UT's score down and that dude is going to be drafted. There's multiple cases like that on the UT roster, which is quite fulfilling when checking it out. At the same time, the drivers for that vaunted #7 talent rating that continues to drive the "atm is so talented" narrative, are as follows: -Reuben Owens (index 5 star) - OFY -Dezz Ricks (index 5 star) - a bust trapdoored at Bama and bad at ATM -Gabriel Brownlow Dindy (index 5 star) - 4th stringer -Chase Bisontis (index high 4 star) - starter at LG, unfortunately for them -Kam Dewberry (index high 4 star) - bust running with the 2's and 3's -Donovan Green (index high 4 star) - a quiet-quit back-up at TE not involved with serious snaps -Bravion Rogers (index high 4 star) - 3rd stringer -Connor Weigman (index 5 star) - ??? -Enai White (index high 4 star) - guy hasn't played in years due to injury. not on depth chart. -Scooby Williams (index high 4 star) - He bombed at Florida and was struggling at ATM until an injury has knocked him out for some period of time -Sylla (index high 4 star) - played 19 snaps against McNeese, none versus ND and rarely last year in key games, looking like a bust Of their players with a .95 score or higher, that's 11 of the 17 who are either out, busted, or busting. The other 6 are: Anderson, Brooks, Hicks, Moss, S Stewart, and Turner. Several of these guys might wind up busts as well, but I didn't grade like that. So the #7 ranking looks hilarious in that context. And pathetic. https://247sports.com/Season/2024-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/ - click a team link and you can see all of this for yourself for any team.

Satya leading the negativity brigade, of course

wow. Tarp has 100% jumped ship on the Elko era

It's pretty funny. Both of those guys may still become good players in time, but it sure feels like we've upgraded. When the rosters expand in number Steve can really do some damage to hurt other teams by consolidating talent. I really mean this when I say it too; I hope we ruin college football for everyone else. The last 15 years have made me one bitter and spiteful son of a bitch. I've become Salieri.

Breaking news: Former Pussy of an Attorney General Supports Harris.

When you want to catch up on a thread, but thread be like this:

Gee, I wonder if/when it comes out that Trump is banging her, if he'll have to drop out a la Gary Hart. Probably. His base wouldn't stand for something like that.

"The Situation in Springfield, Ohio" sounds like a Sufjan Stevens song title.

The fact that some Americans don't understand how immigrant communities "happen" is kinda sad. How the fuck do you think your Irish, Scottish, whatever grandparents settled... once someone was brave enough to put down roots, find jobs, create a community it happens. It's not that complicated.

These evil fucks are playing the long game. People who actually love this country should do so too. Not just by opposing everything these fucking psychotic evil shitbags do, but my going after them and their money, personally, in every permissible way. RUIN THEM. RUIN THEM ALL. They are waging war against our country. You don't just repel an attack. You counter-attack them where they stand, where they are based from. You take out their financial support. You level it. All of it. Then you fucking make the rubble bounce, just to be sure.

I am confused by a few things in this post. I will go over them individually. It bothers me that she did better than people expected her to. I wonder what motivates that thought? She is a career courtroom lawyer performing in what is almost a courtroom setting. The studying and prep. The strategy to rattle the opponent or witness. Selling herself to the American people or jury. I have been saying she is going to wipe the floor with him and she did exactly what I expected her to. This isn't a politician with a law degree, this is a lawyer turned politician. No one should be surprised. "I can't believe Quinn Ewers threw a football", is what this equates to. What was ABC supposed to do when Trump stated people were eating animals, killing babies post birth, and saying the election was stolen from him? The Charlottesville comments were dog-whistling, and I am an expert on that because that technique was built on the backs of black people like me. But if you need proof of those comments being dog-whistles look at what happened shortly thereafter. All the Supremacist groups immediately joined MAGA and have remained with him ever since. That is all you need to know. Since then he has made many other comments including his direct orders to the Proud Boys. Now onto this project 2025 thing. It is not hard to attach Trump to project 2025 if you took the time to crack it's pages. Here are things Trump has done, tried to do, or talked about doing that align with the plans in Project 2025. Turning over Roe Mass Deportation of Illegals Eliminating the Dept of Education Eliminating subsidies for electric vehicles Attacking DEI Pulling out of the Paris Accords Still not convinced yet? Trump said he knows nothing about project 2025 and doesn't know anyone over there. 140 Trump advisors and aides had a hand in writing it. JD Vance wrote the forward. Here is a picture of Trump on a plane with Kevin Roberts, the author of Project 2025. There are other pics if you just took the time to look. Still not convinced? Here is hidden video some journalists did where Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 is explaining Trump distancing himself from it. Still not convinced? Here is Trump talking about how the good people at The Heritage Foundation have a detailed plan for how they are going to go forward(video on the right}. He doesn't name it by name but you know what this means right? So now we have the alignment of Trump policies. Many people from Trump's camp involved in the writing. His VP candidate writing the forward. Pictures of him meeting the author. The other author telling you why Trump is distancing himself from the project UNTIL they get in office. Then finally Trump praising the Heritage Foundation for its detailed plan for the future. If you STILL are trying to say he doesn't know anything about it you are simply a bad actor and flat out MAGA. We see you no matter how hard you try to "both sides".
