When you run dirty money through lobbyists, and know you risk jail time without Trump and Bill Barr to protect you, you kind of do everything you can to protect yourself. Country be damned.
Fixed. If Trump didn't have Barr running point, who knows where things would be at this point.

Chapter 6 is another fantastic episode. Really like how they introduce new characters in each chapter, killing off some and leaving others to come back for future chapters
And they aren't no-names - Bill Burr, Mark Boone Jr., Clancy Brown aka Kurgan, the woman who played Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter. The director directed the second episode, and he co-wrote this episode with one of the Thor Ragnarok writers. There's a Gary Cooper western, Vera Cruz, that some are comparing this to.
Oh, and one of the IT guys literally became a robot.

Reminder: Doug Collins is still a chaplain in the Air Force Reserve. A lieutenant colonel at that. Because he’s acting exactly like a chaplain should. -

Maybe the ones who are uncertain of their 2020 outcomes, but McConnell told Hannity today that the Senate would be taking its cues from the WH lawyers. (Paraphrased but yes, you read that correctly). That doesn’t sound like politicians who are planning on leaving power ever.
Trump and Turtle can’t stop Roberts from swearing somebody else in, come January of 2021. Turtle says and does things to please Trump, or more importantly his base, but the moment Trump is an actual anchor on the Senate, he better hope there’s not an impeachment vote coming up.

The new talking points from the Republicans will be how the Debate Commission is biased. They'll also start seriously mentioning the third term thing. Both will become normalized and the Fox News viewers will buy right in.

He’s extremely sensitive about being seen as a draft-dodger as well as not being very macho (he passed it down to his sons - look at their dumbass macho photo shoots and the like). To the point that he’d like to give himself medals. Everybody but Fox News would call him a coward for skipping the debates. He cares a lot about what others think of him. He associates himself with people that he thinks are tough (Putin, the military, etc,).

He truly believes he’s the smartest guy in the room. His handlers can tell him that his opponent and the moderators are going to try and trip him up, and he will get pissed because he knows he’s smarter than the moderators or his opponent. There is nothing worse to him than somebody around him telling him that a moderator or Warren or whoever will get the better of him.
- He’s desperate to win and stay out of the clutches of various state AGs. He probably thinks his debates vs Hillary helped him. He’s not going to give up the chance to be seen by everybody, and he probably believes debates can help him.
Keep in mind that he thinks he does a better job at talking to the media than having WH briefings.

That’s fine. The Dem candidate gets 2 hours of taking questions and attacking Trump’s record and positions.
On the one hand, Trump does not want to have to defend a lot of the shit he’s done - and unless it’s on Fox News, he won’t have control of the questions. On the other hand, Trump would not want to give up the free publicity/public spectacle. It would drive him nuts the moment he was labeled a coward, particularly if it’s Warren he would be facing. It would not be a good look for him if he is scared of a woman.

It would be fucking hilarious if they successfully argue that a president, who is not convicted in an impeachment trial, should get a 3rd term, due to the distraction, which allows Bill Clinton to run again and win. Limbaugh's head would explode.
The thing is, the Republican leaders are acting like Trump won’t even get a second term - they are looting everything they can before they head out the door.

imagine how many school and mass shootings porn prevents. if ugly socially awkward dudes have to go back to fapping to a montgomery ward's catalog bra section, it's open season on society.
Don't forget hoping that the porn fairy would leave a Hustler or Playboy in the woods near the school.

So Hasbro released a bunch of pre-orders on Amazon for new toys...
All released in May of 2020.
If you want the 1-inch version that scales properly to your action figures, I mean your kid’s action figures, it’s still $10, but you get his toy knob, soup cup, and snack

Nebraska is getting paid a lot more in the B1G to be equally mediocre...so there is that.
Not a criticism of you, but your average college football fan doesn’t give a shit about whether their team is pulling in $20 million or $40 million for being in a particular conference - they only care about wins and rivalries. We toss dollar signs around on places like Surly, /cfb, Twitter, etc. but 90%+ of fans just don’t give a fuck. One of my brothers-in-law, his dad and uncle went to Nebraska. Granted, I’ve only known them since around 2010 or 2011, and I only see them once or twice over the summer, and around Thanksgiving, but they’ve never been truly happy with Nebraska football in the time I’ve known them, and they are in their 60s, so I know they saw Some of Nebraska’s glory days . They are missing the rivalries with the Big 8 teams, and they don’t like being a mid-tier team in their division. Not conference, but division. Hell, not long after I met them, I think their sole Big 10 championship chance happened, and they were embarrassed by a mediocre Wisconsin team. It’s all been downhill from there. They would gladly give up B1G to come back to teams they liked to play, and that they could actually travel for (they both live here in Texas).

From the bolded, it seems like the rather limited and shitty selection of apparel and headwear may have been cause for the change.
I can believe that. Simple burnt-orange caps with a Longhorn logo are either really shitty these days, or if they are the older/better ones, hard-to-find in my experience. I hate looking for a new cap. I end up facing a wall of mostly multi-color caps that look like they were designed by somebody's twelve year-old in photoshop, and then some factory in Bangladesh cranks them out before anybody actually looks at them.

7 hours ago, Landomatic said:Every single "reason" I've read over the last 7 pages for 4 teams in the CFP not being enough would not get fixed by adding more teams. Same controversy exist no matter what, you just slide problems down the scale the more teams you add. So, the whole argument really just boils down to a completely arbitrary number of teams that feel right to people.
I like 4 because that number makes the regular season the most meaningful while still giving enough deserving teams a shot at it. Others like 8 because they think more teams deserve a shot at it, even if that diminishes the importance of the regular season. Both completely arbitrary.
As long as people like Condoleeze Rice end up on the College Football Playoff selection committee for three years or so, we should probably move to 8. And it's nothing against her personally, from what I read, she did quite well, but when you cast a net for a 12-member selection committee across all of the universities involved, etc., you're going to end up with a lot of folks who....you have to wonder what they are bringing with them as far as baggage/biases/etc.
They may have to recuse themselves from certain schools, but for fuck's sake, R.C. Slocum is on the current CFP selection committee. As long as we stick to 4, the potential is going to be there for somebody to really be screwed over. It gets a lot harder at 8 - #7 and #8 don't have much room to bitch, based on the last 5 years.

The good news is that you won't be faced with that decision to make.
Oh, there's plenty of dumbfucks around who would love for UT to join the PAC. Because running away when your coaching is a shitshow and your main rival keeps handing you your ass far too often is what such illustrious programs like Nebraska and aggy do.
