  1. I've always thought given how good his stuff is, but how injury prone his mechanics seem to make him, that he makes way more sense as a closer than a starter.
  2. I don't give them a lot of credit, but they're better people than cops are.
  3. Worst case scenario, even if nothing happens to Hegseth, Waltz, Tulsi, etc., this has to have substantially impacted the likelihood that troops would follow orders from them to fire on civilians. A soldier is a lot more likely to follow that order from someone he respects than from someone he knows is a drunk clown.
  4. Astros must've put Bagwell in charge of rehab.
  5. Anyone who wants to focus on anti-semitism on college campuses in 2025 is knowingly helping nazis.
  6. The children are gone and @realgreggym is gone. Coincidence?
  7. Strong Penn State vibes from certain posters here. Miller's teams at Zona were good and fun to watch, and i think his defenses were generally better than he gets credit for. I haven't kept up with him during his second stint at Xavier and have no idea how he'll do in the new NIL era, but he's a good coach.
  8. They're illegally rendering innocent people to a fucking concentration camp in El Salvador and that's barely getting media coverage. There's certainly no shitstorm over it except in liberal spaces online. Them murdering an anti-tesla activist likely wouldn't even get covered in the mainstream media right now.
  9. Refs really think they can help Akron cover.
  10. I'm sure all of PW's clients like to see their lawyers rush to be the first to bend over to take it from behind from the government.
  11. Yes. People are very stupid.
  12. I'm pretty sure TwiceHorn will still push back on it.
  13. I don't know why y'all are trying to debate BO&W when he's clearly in the middle of some sort of serious medical episode.
  14. Ana pretending not to know who Ian Miles Cheong is reminds me of that time 52-80 pretended not to know Alex Jones peddled Sandy Hook conspiracy theories.
  15. Do you smell toast?
  16. To add to this, only 1 Republican in the House and 15 in the Senate voted for the CHIPS Act. 205 Republicans in the House and 32 in the Senate voted against it. To try to give Trump or his party credit for anything that has been funded by the CHIPS Act is the height of idiocy, so of course Zeus is doing it.
  17. Characterizing our new policy toward Ukraine as “childish” sure is a choice.
  18. Chainsaw's obsession with this story is giving off Nicole vibes.
  19. Hey Zeus! You still think someone hacked that boat in Baltimore and intentionally drove it into the bridge?
  20. This shit is so fucking funny. Focus on what? To what end? What do you want this group of internet strangers to do here in March of 2025 instead of the five seconds it takes to look at that and go "well that's fucked up dictator shit"?
  21. I mean, that wouldn’t be a problem if their theory of politics wasn’t so fucking broken. They’re supposed to want to get elected. It’s just that they’re supposed to understand what a majority of voters wants from them and they’ve got no fucking clue!
  22. The nos all need to be primaried too. Unless you see them move to remove Schumer from leadership in the next few days, it's a safe bet that many of them are chickenshit and only voted no because there were enough yes votes to give them cover. Assuming they don't do that, none of them can be trusted because none of them can be honest with their own voters.
  23. No, this is wrong. He fucked this up in a half dozen different ways, if not more. He assumed that Johnson wouldn't be able to pass a CR out of the House and that he wouldn't get pushed into a tough decision, and he never contemplated any alternative scenarios. That's why the House caucus is fucking incandescent with rage right now; he let them go out on a limb and vote against this only to turn around and betray them. If he'd told them a month ago, WHEN JOHNSON WAS LOOKING FOR DEM VOTES, they could've at least tried to negotiate for something better than this. Then he tried to cover his own ass by lying to the public about his caucus' stance while going hat in hand to the literal enemy to beg him for help covering his ass. Schumer needed to decide a month ago whether he and his caucus had the stomach for shutting the government down and coordinate with the House leadership on strategy. It's a disqualifying mixture of stupidity, laziness, and cowardice that makes Kevin McCarthy look competent by comparison.
  24. Schumer has really shot them all in the dick with his bungling of this. It'll be a lot harder to message now than if he hadn't handled this whole situation like a fucking dumbass. But ultimately Trump and the GOP will get a majority of the blame because they're pissing everyone off with their insanity right now and this is just gonna be connected to that. And if the Dems make a few popular demands (e.g. eliminate DOGE and get rid of Elon/Vought) and ultimately get a better CR passed any public hits they take from this will be long passed by the time the midterms roll around.
