  1. I mean, I guess this is a step in the right direction, but I wonder if he toned down the pro-Russian rhetoric only because he was interviewing Zelenskyy. Also, "I would like Ukraine to remain a country," is a pretty fucking low bar.
  2. Because I see it as the objective taking of a life, and I don't need religion to argue the humanity of an embryo or fetus. But I feel like that debate is for a different thread. That's certainly part of it. There's things I agree and disagree with concerning both parties... I'm sure that's the case with most people. Even when I tolerated a GOP that was less interested in immigrants, refugees, the condemned, or our allies overseas, Trump has ramped up antagonism to all of these to levels unseen in the GOP pre-2016.
  3. Hi. Lifelong and fairly religious Catholic here (Mass every week and on holy days, etc). I was also a Republican from the day I could vote until '22 or so before I finally gave up on the GOP. But even before then, I've always been a Never-Trumper. I voted third-party in '16, abstained in '20, and voted for Harris in '24. Before Trump, I felt a somewhat uneasy alliance with conservative evangelicals. While we wanted the same thing politically, I feel like there was still a level of mutual distrust of one another. I was previously a Republican because I believed it reflected Christian values more than the alternative, largely because of the issue of abortion which made things pretty black-and-white in my mind. But now, post-Roe, that dragon is slain, and looking at other moral issues--the treatment of immigrants and refugees, the environment, and capital punishment--not to mention Russian aggression, I now consider myself an independent conservative who votes more for Democrats than Republicans, and will likely continue to do so as long as MAGA runs that party.
  4. How is this better than Bally? At least with DirecTV, Bally came with it, along with every one of my other channels. Now I have to pay separately for this when the same app shows Stars games for free??
  5. Agreed. I don't think it makes sense for any AAC team to go to this version of Pac, but this would be a great move for Texas State while its hot.
  6. I'm sure the successor will be much more to your liking...
  7. I hope you fucks are happy now. Taking the same gig at SMU.
  8. The family friend of ours asked for the damn princess costume. Wtf?
  9. Serious question, can we poach Nate Oats from Bama?
  10. This thread hasn’t been updated in a while. Y’all got any good new recs?
  11. Maybe they should try occupying all of Kursk first.
  12. Looked like an already-dead body being shoved out of the window.
  13. A quick and funny watch. And a strong yes to Gwen, especially in the episode where she learns a student is ranking the students.
  14. That feels like a lot of travel for a lateral move.
  15. That's not an option though. It's 1+7 (which is what we currently have and sucks) or 3+6. Obviously OU is the primary rival, but to join this conference and NOT play A&M or Arkansas every year would be a fucking travesty. They'll need to tweak some things in '26 so that we alternate A&M/Arkansas at home each year, but to not play you're top three historical rivals every season when you're in the same conference as all three for the first time since 1919 would be lunacy.
  16. Don't get me wrong, I want Ukraine to take back the entire Donbas and Crimea, too, but I'm not sure for how long how feasible that will be.
  17. I wouldn't have a problem postponing Ukraine's membership in NATO if it meant Russia returning to the 2022 borders, but this deal sucks.
  18. Is it possible that W offered to endorse Kamala, but she declined it for fear it might alienate the far-left, leading them to stay home?
  19. Lifelong conservative. I voted third-party in '16 and abstained in '20. Last week I voted blue for both president and senator for the first time.
  20. Am I the only one who thinks even this version of the MW would still be an upgrade over the Sun Belt for Texas St.?
  21. Weird move. Sam Houston would make a lot more sense.
