    My view, in a sentence.

    I appreciate the bravado Joe is showing in that video, but I think this is a bad idea. I don't think Joe is as diminished as the opposition would like you to believe, but a debate is the prime setting to highlight his shortcomings (especially against Trump's bluster) and tailor made for out-of-context tiktok clips to go viral. The average voter watches these for "vibes" more than policy talk, and I think the risk is much much higher than the reward in that regard. The only logical explanation is that the campaign believes these horrific poll numbers.

    Remarkable how the pattern keeps continuing: when there's nothing to gain, these fuckers want nothing to do with Trump. When it became apparent that showing support for Trump in court was smart politically, they ALL crawl out of the woodwork. Pathetic

    Michigan and Wisconsin: two electorates famously known for being 50 points apart.

    Guys, there's important context you have to remember when speaking to Trump voters like fatty and lucious: they're not very smart

    The lack of critical analysis is really what is killing me. These polling results would indicate the greatest demographic shift in our lifetime and there is absolutely no attempt to reconcile this. Just "welp, looks like ol' Joe is in trouble!" If the polling industry didn't exist, the common refrain would be a Biden blowout. Every real indicator is pointing that way... the polling is the ONLY thing giving Trump a chance. It's all just so weird.

    Special shoutout to these lunatics for making sure to steal headlines anytime the national momentum seems to be shifting away from the Dems.

    You have to combine them. High critic + High audience = must see High critic + Low audience = don't see, will probably win awards Low critic + High audience = probably a solid comedy Low critic + Low audience = my wife's favorite movie

    The irony of all of this is that... yeah, our schedule this year isn't incredibly daunting. BUT that's what we have been trying to say for the past decade when aggy claimed "8-4 in the SEC is like 12-0 in the Big 12!!!". Some years will be absolutely brutal, but most seasons have a couple of marquee games filled with a bunch of filler. I would never expect them to acknowledge that they agree with us now, however. It's obviously that Texas has been assigned the first "favorable" schedule in the history of the SEC.

    "i was on the wrong side of the Red River" is an all-timer.

    Guilty as charged.

    You are correct, but I'm still watching.

    Just like Jurassic Park, they could make a hundred of these movies and I'd see every one.

    This island is full of sensitive players who aren't very good at the game, but I have to admit it is much more fun to watch than the kumbaya gamebots that we've seen in recent years. Very, very glad that my premonition of Venus and Liz as final 3 locks isn't coming to be. Think I'd most want to be Charlie right now ... but at some point, Q's survival becomes a compelling feather in his cap.

    Cue the "it's too late, still voting for the guy who wants to nuke Palestine" leftist replies... Correct call by Biden, IMO.

    Ah yes, the famously woke Ku Klux Klan.

    "Biden controversially spent the day dredging up memories of an event that divides America, while every-man Trump appealed to the average citizen by defending himself in a court of law." - New York Times, probably

    Taps the sign.

    All I know is I have gone my entire life having never seen any publicity at all for a school board election, and suddenly all of Katy is treating this one like a presidential election. Just an unimaginable amount of signs in people's yards. They're coming for the kids.

    The fact that they are preemptively trying to shit on our schedule is all the evidence anyone should need to know their true feelings on how we will do this year.

    The ultimate goal of a protest should be to influence. Every successful protest in our nation's history is viewed that way because of what resulted from the protest, not the act of protesting itself. At some point, the goal has shifted to merely performative - influence be damned. There is no longer any targeted goal of winning over dissenting viewpoints, the only goal is attention. Somehow leading the nightly news, for good or bad, has become the objective. From an influence perspective, it's hard to articulate how utterly unsuccessful these protests have been in advancing their message. Have they gained a single supporter that wasn't already sympathetic to their cause? Do they understand how impossible it should be to make Carolina frat boys the sympathetic figure in any situation?

    Great post, and wasn't meant to singularly call out Palestine (although that is the big issue of the day). My frustration with the younger generation lies in that many of them seem to have ONE issue that they center their entire personality around (be it Gaza, tiktok ban, student loans, etc) and they will willingly ignore EVERYTHING else and gleefully punish those in power if they don't get exactly what they want on that one issue. Behavior with potentially horrendous ramifications if widespread enough.
