  1. I assume a lot of these posts are Russian Twitter bots. The question I have is why is Russia turning on him now? Just to sow chaos basically? Not getting what they want as fast as they want in Ukraine?
  2. I assume Trump will kick this back to Congress to take out the hemp stuff. He's not a true believer in that cause (or in any cause, incidentally), but he knows that it will hurt him with young men and I guess maybe some farmers.
  3. I like Sark as much as the next guy and personally hope he stays, but let's not overlook the fact that our return to success also coincides nicely with it becoming legal to pay players. It's really hard to argue that the actual X's and O's on the field this year has been overly impressive.
  4. Just stepping back, how was it so easy for the Republicans to peel off 8 Democrats (17% of the caucus) with nothing more than a promise to back pay federal workers (which they are legally required to do anyway) and a future vote that everyone knows won't actually happen? Serious question - when was the last time that the Democrats peeled off 17% of Republicans with minimal promises in order to get something done?
  5. Adelson keeps dumping a lot of money into Texas elections and keeps losing. Maybe there's a slight hope that she gets tired of it and bails.
  6. What I hear you saying is that she’s right in my wheelhouse.
  7. So is anything happening with this? Weird how it's just gone quiet.
  8. Here's where the Democrats are really hurt by not having an organized propaganda wing like Fox News. Guarantee that my in laws already have their Thanksgiving meal talking points lined up for them as of this morning.
  9. Setting aside whether or not the ACA subsidy vote matters politically, why do we think that it will even actually happen? Because John Thune pinky promised? That's the most shocking part of this to me. The GOP is just gonna say "lol jk" and let the Dems go cry in NYT op-eds.
  10. Seahawks scored 44 points. Oh, cool, my streaming homie Darnold must've went off. Wait, what? 4.9 fucking points???
  11. RIP to anyone that played against Taylor this week. Guaranteed L before the noon games even start is tough.
  12. I didn’t laugh but I always like it when they try something a little different.
  13. Pete was good on WU
  14. I’ve never heard of Sombr in my life until tonight and of course they have 56 million listeners on Spotify. It’s not bad I guess.
  15. I chuckled at the American girl dolls
  16. Monologue was pretty meh IMO. Saw Nikki live once and she was much better than that. Also the cold open was just JAJ doing standup as Trump. That’s all they could come up with?
  17. I'm with jimmy. I understand intellectually the point that y'all are trying to make, but there's no reason in my mind why any child should ever go hungry in this country. No reason. No further qualification needed on that statement. If hungry children is only way we can see to move forward, then we're just going to have to figure something else out. And if we can't then fuck it let's all just go down with the ship because at that point our society has well and truly failed.
  18. Don't be so pessimistic In reality, only $30m is going straight to the federal government. For....stuff.
  19. You're absolutely right but it's also damn sure better than losing to Sam Houston State.
  20. So I should stop watching the 2025 Texas offense for my kids’ sake?
  21. My wife wants a watch with a rectangular face, gold case, leather strap, WITH date. Similar look to a Cartier Tank essentially, but I'm looking to spend no more than $3k. I've checked every brand I can think of and can't find it. Any ideas?
