Exactly. Philly at one point was up 34-0. After they made the score that put the 34th point on the board, KC went for around 200 yards and 22 points. The fucking game was over when all that shit happened. Nothing else needs to be said about how badly they dominated KC, particularly when Philly was on defense. And yeah, same thing about the loss to Tampa. After the Bucs hit that FG to make it 31-9, KC rips 177 completely meaningless yards in 3 possessions. Brady did lose 3 times in the SB, but he never got fucking boatraced like that. The only time he ever got boatraced was for 2.5 quarters…and they wound up winning that game.

That’s the whole game. DOGE’s objective is “government efficiency” in as much as that country with Pyongyang as its capital is a “Democratic People’s Republic.” One would be a fool to believe it literally. Reminds me of when republicans were saying in 2003 or so that No Child Left Behind was about “making teachers accountable.” Government waste is doubtlessly a problem, but it’s not a problem that’s solved by/with billionaire money hoarders.

That is certainly possible and unfortunately that may be the only way certain individuals understand the difference between seeing the big picture and being, as Craig Way likes to say, a prisoner of the moment. And even then, a lot of them still won’t get it…and I can’t help but think it’s the same people that were trying to crown Lebron after he was fucking drafted.

No, he didn’t. Look, I get that there’s a certain romance for Patrick. I get that. But the thing is that even if they won last night, that’s still just 4 rings, somewhere in the 40’s on playoff TD passes, 18 playoff wins. That’s still nowhere near Tom. If Patrick wants to catch Brady, he’s got a lot of work to do and his little fanboys aren’t doing him any favors with this “let’s just skip to the end and crown him already” bullshit. 4 rings in 6 years doesn’t make anyone the GOAT. It makes them…Terry Bradshaw.

Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again
hpslugga replied to Patrick Bateman's topic in Football
Correct answer. It’s not about Jerry; it’s about the Jones family in general. They are to football what the McMahon family is to pro wrestling. All about the sizzle, none about the steak. -
You’re talking about the legal concept of an opinion, which is different than the layman’s concept of an opinion, which is, to repeat, a belief that cannot be proven true or false. And that distinction needs to be made because people of the general MAGA ilk hide behind that. You see this whenever they say “it’s a matter of opinion! You can’t attack me for having an opinion!” There’s a kernel of truth to that. I can’t tell you that you’re wrong for saying blue is the best color or steak is better than shrimp. I can’t justifiably attack you for saying that. It’s a matter of belief that cannot be proven true or false. The trump issue, on the other hand, does not fall into that category. The maga crowd claims that it is, and they do so to specifically to hide behind it so as to not face up to the reality that they, with the burden totally on them to demonstrate why trump is a good president, cannot for the life of them live up to that burden. So they shift that burden by saying it’s a “matter of opinion.” It’s a total bullshit cop out. Or to put it another way, think of all of the MAGA morons you know or know of and consider this: hardly any of them (if any) has the balls to debate these issues against anyone even of a mediocre intellect (forget elite) in public. That tells you everything you need to know. When I do politics, I have only one standard: can I or can’t I defend what I’m saying in public? If I can’t defend what I’m saying in public, then what the fuck am I even doing? And when honest people get to that precise point, it’s the point where they make the decision to rebuke their previously held position. When dishonest people get to the point where they realize they can’t defend their position in public, they go into fucking hiding and at best engage in circle jerks. Again, see Texan, Daily. That’s exactly what that fuckin place is. It’s a place where people who routinely got their asses handed to them as far back as the first Trump term and do not have the honesty/balls to admit they were dead fucking wrong, but they do have the honesty to admit they cannot defend their positions in public. So they fuck off to DT (or wherever it is they go) and project when they accuse CR of being an “echo chamber.” In other words, they believe what they believe because they want to believe it, and any contradiction to those beliefs are a big huge conspiracy against them.

Opinions are beliefs, and they’re a particular kind of belief. They are beliefs that have never and can never be proven true or false. ”Blue is the best color.” That’s an opinion, and whoever holds it will never be proven wrong or right about it. ”Steak is better than shrimp.” That’s an opinion ”Donald Trump is a good president.” That’s provably false nonsense. To be a good president means you actually succeed in living up to measurable criteria vis a vis policy implementation. So did he ever do anything to help improve economic conditions for the middle and lower classes? Well he tried an opening wave of tariffs which were well on their way to leading the country to a recession before the pandemic bailed him out, he cut taxes for very wealthy people only, and he’s also seeking to disrupt supply chains and just general productivity with this mass deportation insanity. No, he objectively is horrendous for the economy…and that was just his first term (except the mass deportation stuff). He’s threatening to expand tariffs and cut taxes even further for billionaires as if those powdered sissies don’t have enough going for them as it is already. Did he ever do anything to improve situations around the globe? He withdrew the US from the Iran deal, he withdrew the US from the Paris agreement, he seeks to turn Gaza into another one of his chickenshit little resorts, he turns a blind eye to Putin’s war crimes, he’s threatening to use the US military to outright capture certain areas (other than Gaza of course). Shall I fucking continue? Domestically, he nominated 3 extremist Supreme Court justices that cared only about stripping away reproductive rights and essentially nothing else, he is threatening to terminate the department of education, his minions in congress are trying to set up a situation where fucking OSHA disappears. He just signed an executive order that bars transgender females from competing in women’s sports. Of the some 500,000 athletes in the NCAA, that order affects…fewer than 10 people. There’s a word for shit like that in legal parlance and the lawyers here will be familiar with it: dilatory. And oh boy, does Trump ever live and love to be dilatory in every fucking thing he does. By the way, none of the things I just said had anything to do with all the criminal activity for which he was investigated/indicted/convicted. None of what I said mentioned anything about January 6th. None of what I said mentioned anything about absconding with classified documents and stuffing them in a fucking bathroom. None of what I said mentioned anything about interfering in the 2016 election via hush money payments that were concealed in business records. None of what I said has anything to do with the fact that he conspired with people so that they could pose as electors for the purposes of subverting the 2020 election by overturning the popular will of 7 different states. None of what I said previously even mentioned any of that shit, and he did all of that as POTUS or as a candidate of same. If one still believes that the individual described above is a “good president,” one is a kool aid drinking cult member. They are fucking wrong as it is possible to be, and there’s not a goddamned thing they can do about it. All these emotional protestations, even when combined into one, have all the intellectual force of a flea trying to push a one-ton boulder up a hill. It’s fucking hilarious to watch them try, though. They actually think they’re doing well.

That’s because you don’t give us a reason to. If you don’t give anyone a reason to believe you, they have no reason to believe you, and not having a reason to believe you is literally the best reason not to believe you. But yeah, see yourself out if you must. Venture over to the Daily Texan and the bastion of intellectual diversity that it is. Contrary to popular rumors, it is not the fucking cesspool of utter bullshit people say it is. And certainly no hive mind going on there. In the meantime I’d like to announce to the group that our next secret meeting is at my man cave.

Every time Abbas opens his fucking mouth, I think of that exact line

The last trade war with China resulted in… This was fully 20 months after the first wave of tariffs, which did end up including Canada and Mexico as well. The difference, however, is that the tariffs started small on the Chinese in terms of what materials/industries they were applied to, added to the fact that Mexico and Canada weren’t initially included. Here, Trump is talking about blanket tariffs on all 3 nations immediately. The next time the yield curve inverts as a result of this (and it will), it will not take as long, the recession will follow quicker than expected (pay attention to the 3:20 mark in the video), and there most likely won’t be another pandemic to give him political cover for the fallout. Fortunately, we will have all the “but the price of bacon” people to ease our minds by telling us it made sense to put this intellectual peasant in the last place any serious person wanted to see him.

This needs to be repeated every time somebody says “there’s no way Trump could pull off X.”

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/business/tariffs-trump-imports-us/index.html This is what the admin will play up. “The stock market made a comeback because I didn’t impose tariffs.”

Depends on the district. Some are W2, others are IC’s. It’s my understanding that FWISD fits the former description.

Which is precisely why Ogles drafted it in such a way that would preclude Obama from running: they all know that he would fucking steamroll Trump

Every logical fallacy that can be used in defense of that EO will be used, and every argument that will be used in defense of that EO will be logically fallacious.

Too lofty of a concept for you to know even the first thing about it. If brains were fuel, you’d need to apply for a loan to power a flea’s motorcycle around a drop of rain.

Can't calculate that a center would lose his head on two consecutive plays, especially since it really hadn't been a problem until that exact play.

Sudden implosion by the OL on those last three plays. Just fucking awful

This is the correct answer.

By not playing those 14 games against either the Rams or the Lions

Because that would make Supply Side Jesus feel sad.
