    I can't believe I'm still checking this thread.

    Really? I think the coaching search threads are the most entertaining aspect of the football program over the last 10 years.

    I just can't decide if the kool-aid tastes better in this thread or the annual summer practice reports that have us looking like the 2001 Miami Hurricanes.

    I don’t know the backstory, but I do tend to hold the opinion that some subjects can be taught too young. next door to me is a lesbian couple and they are raising two boys. Our kids all play together and never once has it even come up.

    In Florida we had sex-ed in the 5th grade. I also think that was a bit young. I still recall a chunky boy asking if a fat man could make milk. Such questions should have been a litmus test for appropriateness.

    Could be wrong, but it sounded like she was objecting to curriculum focusing on LGBT history. Not every conversation about those issues involves anatomy lessons or sexual education.

    I do not like nor think it wise that these repeated attempts and assaults continue. It’s normalizing this for the future and two to four years down the road. We can laugh about the sloppiness, but it’s having an effect in other ways. Stern pushback (not just defeat In the cases) seems better because those norms are being battered and who knows what the future judges will do?

    Why is the GOP unsuccessful in their attempts to invalidate? Because they lack supporting evidence.

    So what does the GOP take away from all this? Better have evidence next time. 

    They've got 4 years to manufacture it. Best get started.

    While you are watching that, I’m watching Joe Biden attempt to call a nation together for thanksgiving and a higher purpose. 

    Well, while you are watching that, I'm watching my mental health deteriorate to the point where I spend a bit of time each day wondering what the simulation creator looks like.

    Seems to me that the Dem's "let the process work itself out" approach is nearing the end of its utility. What if they took a page from the Trump playbook? Start accusing Trump of various crimes, start a "lock him up" campaign on social media, and start blasting out information about sedition and treason for all involved. Threaten Emily Murphy with federal crimes. File criminal action against Trump's lawyers, including Giuliani, for frivolous lawsuits and contempt of court. Start an information campaign that Trump is only in it to avoid prosecution and to drum up cash for his own TV deal. Link the Republican super-spreader events are linked to 1257 confirmed deaths (I just made that number up, but who cares). Blast out photos of trump as tired and sad. Go on the offensive. 

    100%

    Dems are acting like this is the fucking 1990s. Get it together and go on the offensive. Instead, we've got the fucking president-elect begging civilians to crowdsource his administration.

    Have to say I’m proud of my parents. They voted for Trump in 2016 but since then have completely opened their eyes to the reality of what he is. Which puts them in a difficult spot because so many of their friends and family are Trump cultists.

    I worried that the influence of their deep-rooted social circles would drag them back into apologist mode. Nope. Instead, they’re speaking the truth and are backing away from longtime friendships and close family relationships. It’s got to be fucking hard. But they seem disgusted that people they love and respect have become brainwashed fools. 

    Same. My folks are lifelong republicans who abstained from voting in 2016. They thought Don was a chump, but that our institutions were too robust for him to do too much damage in 4 years.

    This year they both voted straight Dem tickets. Couldn't be prouder.
