Yeah I think he did the world a favor by agreeing to hold that meeting in front of the cameras. Everyone saw what they'll be dealing with if they get/stay in bed with us. They should accordingly opt out of dealing with us.

You know how I'm always going on about my sheer amazement at how fucking stupid Tommy Tuberville is? Yeah, welp. Here's exhibit #eleventy bazillion and 49:
Tuberville forgets triangles exist while advocating for Pentagon cuts: ‘We need to make a trigon’. “Pete Hegseth has welcomed DOGE to come into the military. We need to start in the Pentagon. We need to make a trigon -- three sides -- instead of five sides in the Pentagon”. https://www.al.com/politics/2025/02/tuberville-forgets-triangles-exist-while-advocating-for-pentagon-cuts-we-need-to-make-a-trigon.html
Yes, so they burn through loads of engines on test beds to make their alloted race PUs reliable enough to last the season while getting the best performance possible. Very 'green', right? Disclaimer: I don't really care if racing is green or how many engines they build and destroy, because it's racing. Racing never was and never will be 'green'. What pisses me off is introducing idiotic parts limits that fuck up the sport, in a greenwashing attempt to appear sustainable, when the sport couldn't be farther from that.
Yep, he's already dismissed lowering prices as "really hard to do" (yeah, no shit, Dotard) after berating Biden for it for years. And then there's all the batshit crazy, illegal, and/or authoritarian shit he IS doing that was never mentioned during the campaign. Or how about trying to destroy the judiciary and the legislative branches following P2025 to the letter, despite claiming during the campaign that he knew nothing about it?
"Done what the voters elected him for"? LOL, gtfo with that idiotic shit, @Texasborn91.
OK then how about all those other prices he's gonna lower, like grocery prices in general? Oh wait. That's right. He already gave up on that, because it's hard.
Thanks for the heads-up. Pritzker doing some solid work there. He clearly hates Illinois Nazis.
ETA: I guess the link I posted got taken down. It had the whole episode, but here's all I see now)
I'm liking that RB a whole lot. IMHO if one of RB and RBR were going to go white, it shoulda been RBR, leaving RB free to continue running last year's gorgeous livery. The AM will be a dog again this year, but at least it's still gorgeous. The Merc & RBR are samey samey, but still look good. The rest are ass. McLaren's camo (or whatever they called it) livery would be better than what they're rolling out there nowadays. Haas & BWT wtf?
‘Dear King Donald the Magnificent’ – A Letter From One Troubled Monarch to Another
King Charles congratulates Donald Trump on his “magnificent accomplishment” in restoring monarchical rule to America, imagines Alexandra Hall Hall

Yeah, I'm just catching up & I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk here about Dotard yet again blaming Ukraine for "starting the war" with Russia, and now calling Zelensky "a dictator". Water is dry. Down is up. White is black. Bizarro World is in full effect.
At least Zelensky is firing back. Good for him.
This. Beat me to it. Or at least smaller cars that can follow one another closely.

Yeah my buddy is a friend of Leigh's and says he is as nice of a guy as you could ever hope to meet, but he doesn't like his commentary either. And yeah, going back to NBC's commercial breaks would be a beating. I'd just have to watch every race delayed so I could FF through them. Whoever gets the next contract, they'd probably be wise to seek out sponsors who would allow for ad-free races, at a minimum.
