  1. Dems just need to rally behind the pick tomorrow regardless who it is.
  2. the smart money on predictit gets out as the result is coming to an end. Only the fan bois hold the course.
  3. SIAP. Heard George Conway talk on a podcast about a theory how the SCOTUS term limits could potentially be managed through Congress without an amendment. The lifetime appointment is in the Constitution so the work around is that Congress creates the position of a senior justice who sits outside of the voting 9. The lifetime appointment remains. When a justice hits 18 years, they move into senior status, and a new justice is appointed who takes over the voting duties of the senior justice. Conway thought that the senior status could not apply to the Chief Justice who could potentially go beyond 18 years. Who knows. I'm far from a Constitutional scholar but this makes sense to me.
  4. lol. Crypto then gives you a way to legally invest in crime.
  5. 100%. Shapiro is a coalition builder in a purple state. You do this by finding common ground on issues or working to a compromise. Which is exactly how you win a national election by running to the middle. If Trump/Vance want to run further to the right, don't stop them from making that mistake. Let Harris/Shapiro run from the center-left. If they lose a few from the more-extreme Left, then so be it. I'm cool with earning a few million independents at the loss of a 100K extremists. If someone is worried that Harris/Shapiro are too in bed with Israel, is that voter seriously going to run to Trump who is arm in arm with Netanyahu? There's a reason that Bibi wants Trump to win. And don't fall for the TexAgs gaslighting where they claim they can't wait for Shapiro to be chosen.
  6. Kelly's strength is that he would give some independents relief about border issues. He, and honesty Harris, would be able to talk from the standpoint of a state most impacted by our southern border immigration. Trumpists would still rather listen to Trump or Vance talk about it but Kelly has been critical of Dems' past mistakes which gives him street cred on the issue. But not going into Stephen Miller territory.
  7. The thread is titled non-sports.
  8. MAGA already believes that the stock market is near all time lows.
  9. I'm fairly certain that I would struggle to correctly name 5 gymnasts. NBC makes most Olympic athletes' stories the same: overcoming personal tragedy or injury to take home the gold to honor the memory of <feel in the name of a recently deceased family member.>
  10. Any disclosure by Thomas means little because he has created his own disclosure rules. By which I mean that he doesn't disclose trips or gifts that he doesn't want to disclose because of a phantom practice that an unknown person told him was acceptable. Public figures like Thomas or Bob Menendez can't go away fast enough. Ridiculous that the only ongoing checks on Judicial are impeachment/conviction. I suppose Congress and the President could in theory take away their budget and salary.
  11. Never understood the point of any argument about who is the greatest of all time. It comes across like people have too much time to fill on 24-hour sports channels or social media so they create opinionated material to create engagement. Who cares if an athlete in 2024 is better than one from 1960. I also assume that athletes in 2060 will make 2024 athletes look unathletic in comparison. And in fairness to previous generations of olympic athletes, few of them could afford to return to the olympics. At some point they were tired of being poor since they were prevented from earning money on their athleticism. Now if anyone calls themselves the GOAT, they better be prepared for karma and criticism IF they fail.
  12. Wouldn’t shock me if the market ends up positive by the end of the day.
  13. Some of y’all are overthinking this to a point that you don’t want Shapiro to be the automatic front runner, as President Harris’ 2nd term is ending, in 2032. The important time frame is the next 90 days.
  14. Shapiro is the right pick. He practically guarantees PA which is critical.
  15. Curious to see how unhinged Elon becomes as Trump loses more and more states.
  16. Springsteen is good but he ain’t no Kid Rock. Speaking of trash performers, why hasn’t Ted Nugent been more prominent this go round with the GOP? Did he adopt a new, young girlfriend again or something else wrong with him?
  17. Goodell should have the courage to take the jacket to McMichael directly.
  18. It’s going to be Shapiro and once again I imagine it will be a Sunday announcement early afternoon. im not saying Shapiro is the best but Harris needs PA. It’s not impossible for her to win without PA but it becomes much more difficult. If Shapiro can deliver a 1-2 point swing, that will be enough to put Harris in the WH. Shapiro might also cost her votes but it will be in states that won’t matter.
  19. Stalin was 5’5”, how short was the guy they edited out? Stalin looks to have a foot on him. Or maybe Stalin wore lifts like DeSantis or Trump.
  20. This is a serious thread where we need serious people. If you’re going to name drop a character with 3 lines from a middling movie that was released 25 years ago, it’s gawd damn critical to be accurate.
  21. Your story is suspect. The waiter with all of the flair was named Brian.
  22. Kroger is great because no one is usually there. In and out fast.
  23. The former student association is reopening nominations in hope of finding some diversity. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/tamu-distinguished-alumni-award-19615609.php
  24. More people need to stop using Twitter. Musk can’t suspend you if you don’t use his products.
  25. Trumps business partner threatening to punch him as far as the early 80s. In the link below, A sports writer reads a letter from the USFL Tampa franchise owner telling off Trump, the NY/NJ owner. No surprise that Trump uses the same playbook back then that he does now. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTN4Xxqyj/
