  1. Agree PPP isn't comparable to forgiving student loans. But calling these guys out on PPP forgiveness is awesome and here is why -- none of those folks needed the loans and probably should be pantsed for taking them in the first place with an eye toward forgiveness (yeah, the dems, too Anastasis). The requirement in PPP was that a borrower must certify that "Current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant". Now this is weird and vague, but my guess is that it didn't apply to most of these congressmen and they knew it, and they knew they wouldn't be audited by the SBA. So GOP congressmen, you want to politicize a drop in the bucket head nod of forgiveness that will make exactly zero people's lives worse? Great. But remember what we did for you. We let you take out loans you shouldn't have even received and then forgave them. You should have been audited, so STFU and get your shine box.

    I am fine with that, I guess, Given relative depth up front, would like to see us be more creative on the wings than Morris and Arriola. But when I look at depth charts, not sure who that would be.
  3. It's just that Scott has been out-crazied, that's all. There are plenty of clips of him doing abhorrent stuff as governor, including robotically rejecting appeals by ex-felons who served time to get voter rights back, among other things. He and Desantis do not get along, and when Trump lost, and Scott got the NRSC chair, it appeared his star was rising as Trump's fell. But Desantis' somewhat skillful (to his credit) ability to raise his profile as an alternative to Trump without rejecting Trump's base has basically crippled Scott's presidential chances, I think. The dude is Aaron Burr. He was waiting to see how things would fall and align himself in the best possible position, and the more proactive of the fascists cut him in line and took it. Now he is spending NSRC money on himself, and he's otherwise the face of the Senate Republicans', hopefully, upcoming failure in November.
  4. Ha! This is back in 2018 when he was a pure blood Trump bootlicker on his way to the governor seat. If Trump runs against him, I imagine these will come back out. Also, if Desantis wins the nomination by turning on Trump, these ads should be played ad nauseum by Biden's team.
  5. I, too, heard Ron DeSantis wears a girdle. I mean even if Ron DeSantis wears a girdle, it doesn’t mean that we should make fun of the fact that Ron DeSantis wears a girdle. But if in fact Ron DeSantis wears a girdle we should let everyone know that Ron DeSantis wears a girdle. Ultimately I think Ron should confirm or deny whether Ron DeSantis wears a girdle. It’s certainly ok if Ron DeSantis wears a girdle, but the voters need to know if Ron DeSantis wears a girdle, because if Ron DeSantis wears a girdle, then that means Ron DeSantis wears a girdle. Ron DeSantis wears a girdle CJK5H.
  6. Gotta like Rangers chances as opposed to other groups they could have wound up in. Next year will be awesome when Union Berlin and Leeds are in this thing. I just need to find a site that will let me parlay that.
  7. I've said it before and I'll say it again, his social media posts are eerily similar to my estranged mother-in-law's midnight ranting texts at my wife and me. There is a certain syntax to the narcissist with a martyr complex and no self awareness that is unmistakable. It's funny to read the posts in her voice.
  8. I have friends in north Austin that lived across street (in a pretty nice neighborhood) from some popular twitch streamers that got swatted about 3 or times a year. They moved out and it continues to happen to the poor folks that moved in. So yeah fuck MTG but this swatting shit is a problem on several levels.
  9. He was always a Trump lackey.

    Tillman with the opportunistic steal and calm assist.
  11. I remember taking a train from London to Edinburgh on New Years Eve for Hogmanay and stopping in Newcastle on the way. Looked at the city from the train station above and was like “what an awful looking place.” Then the Geordies loaded up on the train and removed all doubt.
  12. Sure. All that. Keep investigating as it makes indictment more likely. But indictment is secondary to getting shit back and making sure he doesn’t have it.
  13. Even if Trump is never indicted he had shit he shouldn’t have. Which certainly makes indictment more likely but that we got this stuff back is paramount.
  14. That’s the thing. We will be dealing with 2 years of revenge politics on J6, Fauci, Garland etc. A bunch of show trials, likely a special committee the Dems are locked out of. The crazies will run those, of course. It ought to make them look horrible. Ought to.
  15. There was a Bulwark podcast on all of this. She will not do anything that will help Trump. And she would hurt Biden/help Trump if she ran as an independent. Every political strategist I’ve read/listened to has said what that poll shows. I think she’ll probably go on a kamikaze primary mission, with the hope that she has enough support and backing from people like the Koch’s and others to prevent states from skipping primaries and also forcing a debate. The latter doesn’t happen unless Desantis and others are also running. But I see her running in the GOP akin to Bernie in 2016.
  16. Honestly, I think Walker is being treated with kid gloves a bit because it's just so fucking sad. If there was a way to go scorched earth on the people that put him up to this in a manner that would be effective, that's the route. But I don't think it exists. I also don't think that he's all there enough to realize how fucking embarrassing it is to hear what comes out of his mouth. At some point Warnock is going to have to take the gloves off. Something like, "Look, I am not qualified to play or coach football. That can be a tough game. If you asked me X or Y or Z, I'd have no idea, but I'd have the courtesy to say "I don't know." But I am qualified to be a Senator. My opponent is not. And worse, he refuses to say "I don't know" and instead speaks and removes all doubt that he is incapable of governing. Don't do this to America or Georgia. Don't do this to my opponent, who is ultimately a prop. Vote Warnock."
  17. Just listened to Beto on Pod Save America, which isn't going to win him votes obviously given it's his choir, but he opened up a bit on campaign strategy. I think he learned a lot of lessons from 2018, including as it relates to scheduling the personal appearances. He is going to be in the Valley a lot in early September then will be in some of the more urban areas where voter turnout has been low as well. I think he gets it. It was a real measured interview with no rah rah stuff.
  18. We did this in 2010 right after Xmas and saw Everton at West Ham (after getting drunk at The Boleyn and somehow avoiding getting beat up by skinhead hooligans), then did Bolton at Chelsea where Stu Holden was the best player on the field, but Chelsea snuck out a win (he’s such a big “what if”). Then went up to Glasgow to see Rangers Celtic at Ibrox. If you absolutely want to cram in a bunch of games and can fly out before Xmas, you can probably get two games on Boxing Day if you plan it right, then two or three more in that week as the EPL schedules a lot that week. Miserable time to be there weather and sunlight wise, though. If you do it later in the year and can time everything right you can get in some cup games (either domestic, Europa or UCL). I can’t remember how we bought tickets. It all seemed really dodgy at the time, but still paid off. I imagine it has gotten better now and is hopefully virtual. The really hard thing was getting a bunch together because so many people have a single ticket.
  19. I’m down. These guys and Union Berlin.
  20. Still can get Leeds top 6 for +2500

    …. Also open to trying someone else up top for Urruti for a game or two. Not sure if Friday is right time.

    So we’ve started this same group several games in a row now. Any chance it gets mixed up for LAFC? What do you do? Move Ring back and put Wolff in for Perreira and maybe Kolmanic for Lima and move Gallagher over? As much as Lima is not even a replacement level player in MLS he hasn’t been a disaster recently. Is the fucking DM we signed in offseason still hurt? Cause you could put him in for Perreira as well. 6 needs to sit a few games. The league has figured him out. He’s like a rookie batter that is seeing teams for the second time right now and hasn’t changed things up.
