Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
Generally agreed. I think Sark let his pants slip down a little this off-season and it looks like he's trying hard to recover. I'd like to see some OL action, but he seems to be making a lot of the right noises at present.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
I don't disagree really with any of that. I think as things stand today, yes, there is a ton of ignorance in the electorate on #bothsides, from lack of information, dis and misinformation, and general lack of interest. And, so, ill-informed and careless environment often produces votes or political alignment. But, there is a key point of information for the electorate that is right in their faces: Trump's gutter bigotry. And his lies are more easily proven as such than any politician in any living American's lifetime, if not ever. Not to mention his obvious personality disorders.

Rooting around in the issue of Supremacy Clause immunity, something I did not know. Idaho charged FBI Ruby Ridge sniper Lon Horiuchi with manslaughter for the death of Vickie Weaver. Horiuchi removed the case to federal court, where the trial court dismissed the case. On appeal, the en banc 9th Circuit said there were too many factual questions to grant Horiuchi immunity from prosecution. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/253/359/576174/ Idaho later dismissed the case. This is actually pretty on point with the Ross/Good case: A questionable shoot (questionable for Horiuchi, pretty much bad for Ross) leading to no immunity.- Bill Ackman
They're all vastly wealthy, including Trump. And, although most POTUS are relatively vastly wealthy, never in history has there been one so selfish that other vastly wealthy can be so very certain he will do nothing to diminish his own or their vast wealth.- Dog Killer, Kristi Noem
And you are a complete fuckhead shitheel that has been demonstrated to be unworthy of any loyalty at all.- Trump’s America
Obviously, we can defend and conduct offensive operations from Greenland without "owning" it. We already have that right and ability. This is about something else. Could be the minerals, but we can probably purchase mineral rights cheaper (and using private sector funds) than we can "buying" Greenland. I think this is just some "muh legacy" thing.- Minneapolis ICE Murder
More than you wanted to know on that topic. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/are-federal-officials-immune-from-state-prosecution- Minneapolis ICE Murder
No, under that removal statute, it remains a state charge, prosecuted by state attorneys under state law. It's just presided over by a federal judge sitting in a federal courtroom.- Minneapolis ICE Murder
Well, some access to evidence would be very helpful. Like to figure out which shot was fatal. Kind of fun thing, though, Minnesota could charge him in MN court and there would be a temptation to remove the case to federal court. A federal judge would have about zero qualms ordering the FBI to cooperate.- Minneapolis ICE Murder
Whatever the proper percentage, there is a portion that are simply an immovable object when it comes to Trump.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
And these cunts, who've been to the CFP once, and didn't bother to either score or win, while we've been twice and have infinitely more wins than they do.- The Trump Economy
Well, you can be reasonably sure the banks will challenge it and at least win in the trial courts.- The Trump Economy
Probably unconstitutional under the Contracts Clause.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
You are correct as an abstract proposition. But the information was considerably more difficult to acquire then than it is now.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Right, I wasn't and my excuse is that I was 14, which is pretty fucking valid, as I wouldn't be able to vote for four more years. And I didn't have the internet to do a deep dive on what Reagan really stood for. Incidentally, I remain a big fan of federalism and often think that states should "act first" in matters of government rather than defer or default to the federal government, except in particular and relatively unique situations. And the thing that made me not a Republican anymore was the increasing appearance of retrograde social and cultural conservatism. That angle caused me to delve deeper into more subtle bad policies. But now the hate is in your face. It's impossible to ignore, as is the constant lying.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
I was 14.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
But it's the mask that makes all the difference. Elaborating. As I see it, the "excuse" you're making is that people a) have to accept a mixed bag of policies they agree with and disagree with from a party or candidate allegiance (true enough) and b) they don't delve too deeply into the distasteful policies because they're dumb or disengaged. But when the hateful policies are front and center and impossible to ignore, it changes the game.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
Literally speaking, yes. But a whole shit ton of IU's "transfers" followed their coach from JMU. Yes, Cignetti has been good in the portal, notwithstanding the JMU players, but they are "quality depth" and long-term developed under Cignetti. Not necessarily something Cignetti or anyone else can repeat on the regular.- So, like, it's just a-ok to call people faggots now?
Well and a few pretty prominent people....- Texas -- a failed state
Not sure I'd go that far. The demographics of a basically football board (or sports, anyway) skew things pretty decidedly, if not dramatically.- Lazy-eyed Brett Jensen's audible obesity on my television during football watchin'
At least you don't have to listen to MAGA Mayes Middleton.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Clearly, she failed the attitude test. But she also kept her distance and didn't physically interfere with the asshole anymore than he was interfering with her and her partner's daily lives. It's strange how that video he took makes it seem like he got hit or almost got hit while what was actually happening is he sidestepped her car and took three potshots.- Rob Reiner found stabbed
This is the goal, yes. To give someone the dignity to face the consequences of their own actions. @Pokoloco I know this is brutal, but it is the right thing to do. For better or worse, that "rock bottom" doesn't come on our schedule, or any schedule at all, and may not even come. Here's hoping that's not the case. - Ryan Wingo - An Explosion of Talent
