  1. At this point, it's probably dicey to even nominate a minority male unless you've got another Obama/lightning in a bottle candidate. Need to find another centrist white male who won't rock the boat. That'll certainly anger the progressive portion of the party, but at this point we're past "fool me twice, shame on you" territory.
  2. No coup necessary. Just order the military to do stuff while he's still president in the interests of national security and he's completely in the clear according to SCOTUS.
  3. Pushing aside Harris for Shapiro almost certainly doesn't yield a different final result. On a national scale, how many people really cared or knew about him before he was on the short list for VP?
  4. ...the meteor is sure taking its sweet time. It needs to pick up the pace or there won't be anything left to destroy.
  5. Regarding item #3, we're just doing our due diligence in terms of quality control testing. Gotta make sure our system is built to last.
  6. Counterpoint, Trump and friends aren't the sharpest tools in the drawer. Just lie through your teeth and swear unending loyalty and keep quiet until absolutely necessary. Just watch some old Rudy press conferences as study guides for the vetting process...although you can probably do without the bad hair dye and flatulence.
  7. Yeah, for as much as people joked (or not really joked) about him dropping dead before the election, it's probably in the best interests of the nation that he lives through the next term instead of Vance/someone who cares about something other than self-enrichment being in charge.
  8. Economy + inherent racism/sexism. We've seen that play out globally plenty in recent history. Using the UK again as an example, how many economists explained over and over how Brexit would tank the economy? Didn't matter. People wanted an easy answer/target for why they didn't have enough money, which the Tories provided regarding immigrants taking jobs (sound familiar?) and tying up government resources. Lots of people don't understand or don't want to take the time to understand complex economic issues. Just give them something/someone to blame in 15 seconds or less before their attention span gives out.
  9. Honestly, they might if it tanks the economy for the foreseeable future. It looks years of the UK economy shitting itself after Brexit before the light bulb finally went off and they voted to Tories out of power.
  10. Moral victory or not, I'd gladly take it at this point. Keeping Trump from having complete control of the legislative branch isn't nothing.
  11. Also, just to be clear, the columnist (Marcus Hayes) seems to be pretty universally hated by Sixers fans in terms of distorting things/stirring the pot, so it's not like he's in the clear here either. He didn't need to include the family members in the column, but at the same time he's right that Embiid hasn't shown any more initiative to get in shape or stay on the court even after his son was born, so his words about leaving a legacy ring hollow.
  12. Allegedly. The column mentioned Embiid's son and deceased brother in the context of Embiid saying he wants to leave a legacy (in the basketball sense)...yet he's been out of shape and/or injured for his whole career. Embiid bitched about the press in general questioning his desire to play earlier this week, then moved the goal posts to the references to his family members when confronting the columnist tonight. Of course, he didn't actually shove the columnist until after getting called out for making the completely bullshit statement that he doesn't care what reporters say about him.
  13. Should offer to let Judge bat again right now.
  14. So he'll effectively cancel out Judge's production going forward?
  15. Watson continuing to put up Tebow-like passing numbers.
  16. Yes, and sadly I would have trusted the odds of that working out somehow more than I trusted Sun Belt Billy calling plays in OT. Also, WTF was Heupel doing on that, burning a timeout? They gifted him the win in regulation.
  17. Tell that to the SEC refs. Tennessee qb fumbled the ball out of bounds on their final drive in regulation with 23 seconds left. Ref announces the call to the stadium says clock will wind on his signal. Heupel lets the clock run to 15 seconds before realizing what's going on and calls time out. He bitches to the ref, and then end up putting the game clock back to 23 seconds.
  18. Should have just gone for 2 in regulation. Absolutely no one believed Napier wouldn't shit the bed again calling the plays in OT.
  19. The announcers just completely glossed over Heupel being a moron and letting 8 seconds run off the clock before calling time out, but because SEC refs, they just put the time back on the clock.
  20. SEC refs not doing their job. Didn't put more time on the clock or find a phantom penalty on Florida.
  21. Napier deserves to lose this game. Make it happen and hasten his departure.
  22. 4D chess by Napier, wasting a timeout to save 10 seconds, so even if they don't bungle this, Tennessee has more time for a fg.
  23. Admittedly a mediocre game, but I always view the London games as a crap shoot in terms of who performs well. He also had some nice throws on the last fg drive to put them back up 6. Jets/Panthers Darnold would absolutely have gone 3-and-out or had a horrific sack/turnover. He made it to the bye week without turning into a pumpkin, now let's see if he puts the rest to good use. They have Detroit and the Rams after the bye, prime opportunity to shut the doubters up.
  24. I would seriously doubt he backslides that far. His time as starter was with two complete trainwrecks of organizations, with maybe 1 year of competent coaching between those two stints. He also never had offensive weapons/support like he does this year. No, I don't think he's one of the best qbs in the league, which his stats might say right now, but he's not going to crater into the qb that we saw in New York or Carolina either.
  25. Waste your last TO, still give up the first down on 3rd and 20. Great job.
