  1. Sounds like a good client, until last week.
  2. Will Rotary Club members be rounded up after the browns?
  3. The ones who don't take themselves way too seriously.
  4. Correct. The oligarchy is well-positioned to tell the people who really set the leopards loose on them. It will not be Trump's fault. His position will only be strengthened by calamity.
  5. So . . . Democrats. They also don't have the stomach for it.
  6. The problem with this is the media will HAMMER Dem lies. Just demolish the liars. Because Dems are pussies and will wilt at the slightest hint of concerted media pushback, and the media knows this. There is no strategy. All the monied segments of this country have pushed their chips in on Trumpism now.
  7. And CNN, the NYT, WaPo and just about every other news media with reach will turn on an actual left-of-center Democratic Party in a heartbeat, because that would hurt their bottom line. We don't live in the era of Murrow and Cronkite where the journalists fought for, and kept a bit of, independence from the MBAs looking to the next quater. I'm not even sure MSNBC would go all in on a real l-o-c Dem candidacy. Just like the early part of the 20th, we will need a catastrophe to even think about shaking the current Pub / Pub-lite dichotomy. Anyone still pushing a Dems to the center strategy isn't paying attention or has an agenda wholly divorced from defeating Trumpism.
  8. Jesus Fucking Christ. Biden didn’t do this. Biden can’t unilaterally cut stimulus checks. Biden can’t magically instill the people with civic pride or understanding. Biden can’t make us a communal, compassionate people. Biden didn’t make us this fucking racist, ignorant and stupid. Biden did fine with what he had. He’s an 8-4 coach working with 1-11 talent The problem is our dumb asses. We saw 4 years of bumbling idiocy, blatant criminality and a btrayal of our norms and traditions topped off with a million or more extra dead than a competent admin. and, after a breather, re-upped. Stop blaming a person or a handful of pols for systemic problems nothing but facing calamity can fix.
  9. Most people don’t watch Congressional testimony. The shit that moves the needle almost never happens in Congress or on a 24 hour news set. The stupid people you’re referring to, the ones that mattered in this election, were affected mainly by Israel/Gaza and/or inflation. Another bunch of dumb shits listened to Joe Rogan. None of those folks have their votes swayed because of a bit of snarky back in forth from the Capitol. Media personalities are mostly self-important hacks playing to the lowest common denominator for clicks. This gets clicks from the relatively informed and curious. Those folks aren’t going to change their vote because of this. They’ll amplify it to their teammates as either “owning” the other team or spin it as out of touch. This is theater. Don’t overthink it.
  10. Why would this concern Republican voters? Their concern isn't babies, it's fetuses. An abortion is provided by an OB-GYN. No OB-GYNs, no abotion. Fetuses saved! A real Christian woman would deliver that baby and survive with or without modern medical care. Post-partum deaths are God's will. Pre-partum deaths are Satan's work through the commie libs defiling this land Jesus gave us.
  11. Correct. If he chose it, Dotard could end things like this:
  12. Mainstream media is meant to make a profit. They have no obligation to "us all." If we want good things, its up to people to pay fucking attention, fight our urge to be tribal, and resist the temptations of grifters. That's why we will always fuck shit up every once in a while. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
  13. They’ll all be dead by the time Junior is crowned and the cult turns on the dynasty.
  14. Bought mine last year. I’m stuck here, just hoping that I’m wrong in thinking this state has fallen into a bottomless pit of depravity. It’s all I’ve got.
  15. This is so they can start making the case for suspending the 2028 election, or some other path to eternal power. I can see red states declaring that, based on those findings, their electoral votes have to be decided by their state legislatures until the swamp is fully drained. Then Trump issues an EO suspending the 22nd Amendment. SCOTUS will find the suit to be a nonjusticiable political question.
  16. Yes, as long as you’re mindful of your own bubble. It’s important to get a little dose of how the simple-minded think. He’s a fine example of the folks the algorithm has radicalized. I totally understand ignoring him if you’ve got 1 or more of these mush-brained buffoons in your offline life. You deserve the online getaway.
  17. Y’all haven’t realized it was a bit til now? He gets off on finding someone he can call a 4th grader. You can practically hear him splash off the glass Roman Roy style. I figured a couple of y’all enjoyed being his Gerry Kellman, talking him through his release. His turn to mental health disorders is just plain old projection. He’s embarrassed, but can’t stop.
  18. Pure delusion. Or a spectacular bit. Either way, I am entertained.
  19. Never said it was easy or prevent. We have done it though. Have we chosen to do it late? Sure. Does it mean we won't/can't do it early? If you say for certain, you're a fool.
  20. And we were 11 personnel dominant in ‘08 until the RRS where the Irby injury necessitated a change. If aggy presents a 2 high or 3 high look, we should thank them for the 5+ yards and run it again
  21. Or maybe, knowing this, we establish a running game out of the gate, and the tweaked ankle leads to quieter feet, a more stable platform to throw from, resulting in improved accuracy down field and a devastating play action attack.
  22. Dude, take the W. He took the L, sure like a pussy, but he took it.
  23. Republicans were already there before Bruen. They just needed to get Kennedy out of there. In Rahimi, the Court basically admits that Bruen was too rigid. The 5th Circuit followed Bruen and concluded that since wife beaters used to legally arm themselves back then, they obviously can now. All but Thomas saw the flaw in the Bruen framework, and said it was more a general guideline (like the Pirate's Code) than a real judical test. The Court, like the country in general, is no longer a serious entity.
