    So i know it's not the world's most pressing issue, but how soon does weed decrim come down the pipeline?

    This reminds me of one of my favorite, corny criminal justice jokes:

    "What's a progressive prosecutor?"

    "Someone who asks your preferred pronouns before locking you up for a gram of weed."

    Just send another email to his office telling him to resign. Sure it won't do shit and he'll never set eyes on it but it makes me feel better. 

    This may have been covered before but do any of you guys that have worked in a political office know how those are handled exactly? I'm assuming they have interns working through them and maybe one out of every few hundred gets run up the flagpole for whatever reason. For emails of support they probably send a form "thank you" letter and make sure that email is on fundraising lists. 

    Would they keep a general accounting of what they are receiving (positive/negative/issue)? Is there a critical mass of "resign" emails Ted Cruz could receive that would come across his radar in any real way?

    How do you figure? If someone who is hiring for an open position has talked with multiple candidates and the hiring of one candidate falls through why would it take another week to hire candidate 2? You move to the next candidate, offer him the job, he says yes, he's hired.

    It would only take a while if he'd only talked to one person about the job.

    Sure, that's likely. I'm reaching for whatever I can to convince myself he wasn't about to do it.

    You literally just got confirmation on the Stoops hire, and he was an impediment in moving on from Herman and also wanted to hire James Franklin. Not all these things get officially reported, but if you only want to believe what Brian Davis and Kurt Bowles tell you in the Statesman, then go ahead. 

    If we do indeed hire a non-Stoops as LB coach today, doesn't that throw cold water on the "Stoops was all set to be hired until the backlash" theory? 

    We were able to hire a different coach less than 24 hours after the previous hire fell through? We had a backup ready to go in case Stoops was rejected?

    Probably the scariest thing about QAnon's reckoning is this: These people are DEVASTATED that liberals are not being rounded up and summarily executed. None of them are like, "So this satanic pedophile stuff was all bullshit? Oh thank God. Hillary Clinton really is just a bitch I don't like and not a sex trafficker? Huh." 

    These people aren't relieved that the terrifying prophecies and secrets of Q are not real - they're pissed

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're going to see a handful of them publicly pop off in the next 6 months or so in a frantic attempt to "save children" or "expose the canal." We've already seen a few Q murders, kidnappings, and other crimes committed by the more loony of their club.

    I'd like to think that one day, Miller will attempt "Right of Return" to Israel.  And they'll tell him they've arranged for a secure, luxury apartment for him in Tel Aviv's most exclusive neighborhood.  And he'll take the elevator up with a bag of bagels, and a woman in the hallway won't let him touch her dog, and he'll use the keys to enter his new abode.  And there'll be a Mossad agent dressed in a track suit with foot coverings, latex gloves, and a hairnet.  Waiting.  With a suppressed .22LR and a message delivered by the agent, "Ehud Barak sends his regards..."

    We beat them at Nebraska in 1998. Applewhite threw the TD sidearm and got concussed to win. 1999 was at DKR Applewhite to who? Mike Jones

     

    I was sitting right above that Jones TD. That's an underrated all-time loudest DKR moment.
