  1. 100% and its happening across the Western world.
  2. Many of my marketing clients are Hispanic immigrants who view Democrat policies as costing them more to run their business. They have all moved to the Republicans. While the economy was up, and the S&P 500 was soaring, the costs of living hurt the common voter. They don't trust or even understand the stock market. They just knew life was more expensive and they punished the incumbent, just as they punished Trump in 2020. I don't have high hopes for the direction of the Democratic party message. We have chosen issues voters don't really care about to lead the message.
  3. Perhaps another viable candidate could have emerged. We will never know.
  4. For sure. So many mistakes. The biggest was by Biden not having the sense to drop out a couple of years ago to find a viable candidate. I think Harris actually did a good job, but was too tainted simply by being Biden's VP.
  5. Both things can be true. The voters are ignorant and Democrats ran a doomed campaign.
  6. Don't they always? I do think a pro-business Democratic candidate not embedded in the Biden administration could have won. It would be comical how the Republicans have become the working class party, while only catering to the elite-level business interests, if it wasn't so pathetic.
  7. What's infuriating about the 2016 and 2024 elections is that Trump was imminently beatable, but won due to hopelessly incompetent Democratic campaigns.
  8. I still think Trump will have a national memorial built to Ashley Babbitt, and Trump will lay a wreath on it each year, just as Hitler did for the 16 Nazis who died during the Beer Hall Putsch.
  9. My fave was the video she made defending her role which began with her eating for the first 20 seconds.
  10. I LOVE TEXAGS: This is the “Let me get this straight:” Thread: TU gets: 1) the easiest SEC schedule this year and maybe of all time 2) to play the worst ranked team first round in the playoffs 3) to play the second worst ranked team in the second round 4) the non-targeting call that kept ASU from almost assuredly winning 5) to play the the semi-final in Dallas, which is essentially a home game for them And we're supposed to believe there is no bias.“
  11. When you could get arrested in a mescaleria, 2007-2015.
  12. In honor of the addition of our friends from Columbus this week, I 'm going to reshare some of my older Surly Ohio State memes.
  13. While I've never been to Northgate, I do sympathize with them in one respect: Here in Austin, we have had a similar demise in our Rainey Street District. Only douchebag developers could have transformed something so charming into the soulless hi-rise monstrosity that it has become. There's something hilarious about wanting to build in an area to take advantage of its charm, but the development completely negates what was charming about the neighborhood in the first place.
  14. Watching the no-name Cowboys. Thinking about their hopeless roster salary management, I am reminded how @'stache dubbed my statement that there are 17 QB's I'd rather have than Dak "the stupidest thing he'd read on Surly." I am curious if you still stand by that statement, due to how Prescott's insane salary has crippled the team? I'd still rather take those other Qb's who are clearly better, equal to, or slightly worse than Dak, but don't come with his bloated salary.
  15. OSU's Howard's pre-game comments are much more mature than the embarrassing, amateur-hour shite from the ASU whiners. Have fun with your 15 minutes of fame, losers. "That was the only team I didn't beat when I was in the Big 12," Howard said on Sunday. "They're always a good team. But none of those games were unwinnable. Definitely excited to get another chance at these guys." "Texas is a heck of a football team," Howard said. "So we're going to have to be on our stuff."
  16. What about mine from page 1? "I see Texas storming to a big first-half lead, something around 17-3 or more. Then ASU slowly crawls back in the game, due to a trick play like a fake punt and INT, to tie it 24-24. Texas will probably miss a FG or two, to send it to OT. Then in OT, Texas converts a fourth down play, then intercepts ASU to win. FInal score 39-31."
  17. Thx. I was at that game and yes, some of the calls were very strange. Every game has calls that enrage the fan bases, the whole conspiracy angle very laughably Aggy. FYI, the ASU forums are full conspiracy posts about keeping the Big 12 out of the championship, lol. Just as Aggy is full of threads about how UT somehow paid off the refs from the Big 10!
  18. Every game has good and bad calls. There are games where we have had controversial calls go our way. Fans of loser teams like Arizona State and Aggy cry about it.
  19. "The refs and the league are out to get us." Said by the fans of every team in every sport at every level of competition.
  20. Good point and I totally agree with you. Using your logic, I also believe that we can't declare ourselves the winner vs. Great Britain, since they won the majority of battles during the Revolutionary War. Sure, we won the last one, but they won almost all the others.
  21. I am cautiously optimistic about this game. Texas had our 'down' game vs Arizona State, which may have been a case of (somewhat) looking past them. Hopefully, Buckeyes are doing the same to us. We need to get some nice, solid shots on Howard early to reduce him to the helpless, crying version of himself we have defeated for the last three years. Texas wins in a squeaker.
  22. So Aggy of them:
