  1. I don’t think the Univision interview was to sway Hispanic voters but to motivate Fox News viewers and get them pissed off that people spoke Spanish and didn’t kiss his ass.
  2. Medical science is amazing, didn’t even know we had a “hitting the concrete from 3 floors up” vaccine. Incredible, gonna ask my doctor to protect myself from such misfortune.
  3. Remember when Al Gore made a sort of awkward but largely accurate statement about his role in the early development of the internet that got misrepresented as him claiming that he "invented" the internet and it almost ruined his political career? Yeah, I 'member.
  4. With a dozen channels and streaming there just aren’t enough eyeballs for every game to need to be a good or great matchup. This year Week 2 seemed to have overloaded on mismatch games but that’s easily fixable if the conferences and networks collaborated to spread them out better, but that’s not how it works, coordination is a bad word. Even a little bit of collaboration could have preserved rivalries, maintained some sanity in geography, and made everyone more money, including beaucoup bucks for the bluebloods. But nah, let’s put Cal in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Toledo in the Mountain West.
  5. If programs or networks wanted to do away with the layup games they’d be gone. They serve a purpose. It’s a 12 game season, plenty of better matchups throughout. They just added a bunch of extra high profile games by expanding the playoff. If they wanted more revenue they’d make the season 13 or 14 games or more. With a dozen channels and streaming not every fucking game is going to be a great matchup. Even the NFL has a few duds each week.
  6. All of his lies are verifiably false. They don’t care. They’re already blaming the mayor and probably librul Gov. “Newscum.” For fucks sake, he’s out there saying he transferred power peacefully and they believe him. If the hours of Jan. 6 footage didn’t damage his campaign literally nothing will with these people. Only hope is that the polls are off and she wins in a Reagan style landslide.
  7. I don’t think I recall him ever facing real media. It’s always in that stupid fucking room or somewhere around the Star where it’s all softball shit with people who know he’ll pull their access to the complex if they ask tough questions. Otherwise it’s settings like discussing the latest Cowboys hall of fame indictee. So yeah in his narcissist brain he faces media all the time, just friendly media over which he has complete control.
  8. I play pickup baseball with a guy I know supports Trump, but I only know because of a few Facebook posts, never talks about it and has only posted a couple of times. That’s about as close as I can get. Have some others I know but they are acquaintances or professional connections and they don’t talk much about it either. I honestly don’t see where or how I’d come across a loudmouth maga fuck in my in any foreseeable setting. I just don’t operate at all in those spaces.
  9. I still think major programs like having at least one warm up game that counts, and yeah, the once every now and then upset makes it fun, even if people don't tune in until late. The early non-con schedule always has enough good matchups to fill the TV schedule. You don't need every single game to be a big time matchup.

    A Jew

    He changed it from Mitch Cumstein.
  11. He’s an absolute moron. This is definitely a simulation.
  12. Oh please, people like him, true narcisists, have zero clue about the "impression" of others, he thinks he came off as a strong competent leader. He's being sheltered from the backlash and probably doesn't even know people are out there talking about his comments in any sort of a negative light.
  13. There is zero chance he understood any part of that question (the one about reserve currency and protectionism).
  14. Dumb as shit but I'm not sure NIU and Toledo can turn down the revenue increase.
  15. I don't really distinguish between the two. The DEI conversation is also appropos. The entire republican party is of the opinion that DEI is bad, and the majority will always feel somewhere inside that minorities that suceed were because of affirmative action, etc. That's a huge percentage of people. If it was a small percentage, major corporations would just ignore them, but they are actively killing off their DEI programs, which itself tells you all you need to know about how widespread this shit is among the American population.
  16. There's some of that, but also plenty of people who genuinetly respect the dark skinned minority that made it to the board room or otherwise succeeded, but use it as evidence that institutional racism doesn't exist. If this guy made it, it just proves that the rest of "them," you know those on the north side, are just lazy and predisposed to being criminals/hoodlums/thugs/etc. In my experience, there's far more of that going on in Oklahoma. The "I have a Black friend/co-worker" form of racism.
  17. Oh I fully believe that at least 45% of the country is racist/sexist. Prior to 2016 it was much more subtle or just not said in mixed company because there was still some shame involved, but the 2016 election gave them the green light to be far more vocal. In Oklahoma, people sometimes comment on how "nice" people are, and you'll hear plenty of stories in Tulsa and OKC especially that gay people aren't openly harassed very often and you won't hear a lot of people yelling at Mexican's to "speak English" but the vast majority of people who live here harbor that hate and vote accordingly. At best, some of the 45% aren't racist/sexist but are okay electing those who are which is just as bad in my opinion.
  18. Since we're bitching about the media, this one is bullshit too. It refers to Harris questioning his "mental acuity." First, when Biden had his debate issues, the headlines were about his competency or whether he was "unfit" for office, the term "mental acuity" is much more benign. Second, the media itself was asking the questions about Biden's competency, this places the questions on his opponent, which is easy to brush off as just campaign rhetoric. Just because 70M people like his idiocy doesn't make it right, the media should be hammering him for being a complete idiot whose mush brain is far worse than any time over the last 9 years.
  19. Heroes. Keep hammering him until he has an aneurysm. Not firing McCarthy after that abomination of a playoff performance is the icing on the cake for his pathetic ass. He’s a full on piece of shit.
  20. Didn’t he come out like an hour later and backtrack saying he didn’t mean it that way and making clear that Rogan Luv Trump?
  21. Won’t Trump also do Rogan? I hope he publicly says that he’ll only do Rogan if he refuses to invite Harris and Rogan tells him to fuck off. I know he wouldn’t say it that way because he loves Trump but I could see him saying he’s not going to avoid Harris because Trump asked him to and makes him look like real pussy.
  22. I’ve only seen a few episodes but I think the host’s interview skills are the main reason the show is so popular. I was impressed.
  23. Only concern about Rogan is that she’ll have to correct him multiple times and we all know how that is perceived coming from a Black woman. I think he’ll push back a lot but even if he doesn’t again the very fact that a Black woman is correcting him could piss off his primary listener. I don’t think it would lose her any votes but I could see it inspiring some of his listeners who weren’t planing to vote to vote against her for any combination of racist or misogynist reasons. But she might also convince a few that she’s not the monster that dotard portrays. I honestly don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. I’ll trust their internal decision making I guess.
  24. So are yarn gifs just not compatible with Safari? Posted one from my laptop earlier and doesn’t show up now on my phone. Got two reactions so others are seeing it.
