Distinction without a difference.

Do you, sir, mean to suggest that the Dems are timid? Come, now! I believe it was back in the summer that I heard on NPR that any teeth the national campaign was showing was Kamala ignoring the advice that "weird" was too much and wouldn't play well. The piece said she was more willing to follow her own instincts than before. I realize "weird" came from Walz, but Harris embraced the notion of aggressive language. My enthusiasm for Harris has only grown from delight at the emergence of a candidate that could repeat Biden's feat of saving the republic to just plain enthusiasm about who she is and what she will mean for the presidency. I love it all except for kidnapping children from schools to change their sex and then giving their pets to murderous immigrants to eat. The children!

The Aggies are good. They're in the mix of teams that could beat just about anybody in this parity year of CFB. Our defense is something they will not have faced all year. Our D's scoring stats are skewed by two teams requiring less than 200 yards of offense to score five touchdowns. I don't know how the Greg Davis offense will be when we roll into College Station.

Cheryl, you're getting sleepy. Sleepy. Are you trying to hypnotize me? Just waitin' on the roofie.

I agree. His most vile and vehement followers are not dyed in the wool GOPs. They voted for and dedicated themselves to Trump as much because he was different from the GOP pols as he was from the ebil libs. The GOP must keep that bloc in the house if they want to have a chance of holding power and protecting their criminal organization. There will certainly be profound conflict between McConnell's mob, Donald's mob, and people who want the GOP to actually stand for something. I don't know know how it will work out, but if any of those groups split off, it's over for the GOP for quite some time. Will the hate engine keep them all addicted? I'm sure the Dems will do enough stupid things to help keep the GOP together, but will that be enough? Will GOP lies about Dem policies be enough? Will being the party of lies ever haunt the GOP? Will the TV news media do their part and cover the news instead of just the election? (Early results say hell no.)

You should try being a Democrat. We're used to it. ps I think you're right.

Outstanding!

This afternoon, I fell asleep on the hammock in our yard. I had odd dreams and heard odd voices. I awakened a female. Kamala and Allred were clapping. I was immediately recruited to join a woman's weight lifting team. I don't know what to think. I guess I'll just sit here staring in the mirror at my breasts and genitalia until I figure things out. Save me, Donald!

Who I root for has no impact on a game. Rooting is about emotion. My emotions are anti-Aggie. If I have no natural rooting interest, I'll pull for the best option for Texas if it's pretty obvious. It's obscure what will happen now. I think if we win out, we'll be fine. I expect an angry Texas to be finishing out the season.

Thought y'all might enjoy a good novella. It's a pleasure to find a forum where I can toss a hook 'em after one of your posts. Great observation, my friend. The hate engine has spent more than forty years convincing them that they are the protectors of America. Liberals are their juden. We're carried beyond reason. Somehow the obvious doesn't matter anymore. If a reckoning comes for the MAGA traitors, they will be Michael Douglas on the pier in Falling Down. Their irony deafness doesn't recognize the obvious in the below. This is why you can't argue with them: It now occurs to me that if nothing is obvious, you can't be ironic. Not bad for a Saturday morning. She would need to speak off the cuff on this subject and it's implications alone. Leave the boilerplate at home. This national leader, Fuckwad Harris (no relation), is calling for election results prior to election day. He is cancelling everybody's vote and right to vote whether you vote Republican or Democrat. Does anyone want to give a man who doesn't care anything about our Constituition the power to award public office before anyone has even voted? That was Vice President Kamala Harris, we have Congressman Fuckwad Harris here to explain his point of view. Congressman? Kamala Harris is a radical socialist who wants murderers and rapers to come to this country to murder and rape us. And eat our pets as they're doing in Springfield. We want to protect the sanctity of election results by preventing Democrat cheating. We will not let them steal another election! Do you believe Donald Trump won in 2020? We don't want to look back. We are looking forward to the day that we can make America great again at bayonet point. CNN has ceased being a news gathering organization as they rely on print media for their stories. They've drifted so far from the concept of reporting that their banner at the bottom of the screen always reads: Breaking News. Most of the time, it's just a description of who is appearing on one of their panels. Real journalism news organizations were picky about getting things right. CNN does try to stay in the middle with their panel discussions which has some value. Sadly, they don't exercise editorial discretion to keep out the bullshit. They're too timid to call something what it is. Lies in the case of Trump or famine in the case of the poor citizens of Gaza. If they go, I wonder where a lot of people will hear what the newspapers they never read are reporting. CNN is at least a clearing house for a little bit of that. I'd prefer that CNN improve, but that's a pipe dream. TwiceHorn beat me to the main point. The other main point is Dunst is blonde and...well just take a look at photos from 2011. Take me, daddy.

Fuckin' Middle East. Fuckin' fascists.

Actually, the face he made was perfect.

Last election, I overheard a guy talking voluably about some such conspiracy believed by the idiots who vote MAGA. I pursed my lips and looked at the ceiling. Politeness and outrage fight it out inside me. He's comfortable assuming such utterances are acceptable in the voting line. It's not a social gathering, so my silence doesn't mean affirmation. Still, why should the yokel go unchecked? I stayed quiet, but I do struggle with that stuff. My experience is different than yours. You were clearly correct. My own polite silence frays.

I begin to suspect a general strategy going on between entities that don't normally cooperate to launch carefully timed missiles at Trump. It sure looks like different stories are being lined up and timed. It would make sense with the stakes being so high. John Kelly. Ellis. The grope story. The number of GOPs turning on Trump who likely have ammo. I think the water is about to be filled with torpedoes. Trump had his toady Kash Patel in place at the Pentagon with Mike Flynn's brother in on the decision making. The lies about Flynn's involvement afterwards have always been worrisome to me. (EcomCon for those familiar with the great Seven Days in May original).

I don't know who Charlamagne Tha God is, but he just nailed the explanation of my own feelings about the news. Cooper, a very smart man, reveals exactly the problem that he is blind to. He was offended when his guest accurately pointed out what you hear on CNN. "I don't do that!" Cooper then announces his how they cover the news of Trump's fascism or whatever every night. "There may be people on our panels who have strong beliefs and say crazy things..." The panels are your network, Anderson. You have them on to say the things you won't report. Then, in your timidity and simple-mindedness, you recall Journ 101 where they told you to get both sides of an opinion. Trump's fascism is not an opinion. It's verifiable news that can be reported and discussed without the absurd proposition that someone who will deny a self-evident fact deserves some say. Is Kamala really Black? You can't make the editorial decision that she is and describe the background without making sure you have people arguing about it on a panel? Anderson has never looked more white in that clip. He was comfortable calling bullshit on his guest whom he then spoke over for several minutes. The woman tried to speak and he bowled her over, too. Anderson Cooper is a good man and smart. He's called out actual liars before. I hope he examines this exchange to realize he was wrong.

Now that I'm looking at it again, imagine that image if he isn't on the phone. It goes from being suggestive to borderline pornographic. As it is, why would he make a call from his bed unless to say, "hold all my calls for the next 30 minutes." He's already removed his tie, and she seemingly can't wait to get started. I'd be interested to see what led to this photo. Was it the photographer's idea? "Mr. Trump, how 'bout we set up in your bedroom with your daugther draped on you on the the bed?? Or was it Donald's? He can create his fantasy image (I hope it remained a fantasy) and thumb his mushroom whenever he likes. I looked up the photo for a clearer image. Snopes says it appeared in InStyle magazine back in 1995.

The glorious AgSwag days.

They learn fast. Stick to the lie, and you'll be fine with your constituency. The tricky part is deciding to shitcan any shred of integrity or honor you were possessed of if you were ever a possessor of either. I have trouble believing such a huge portion of the people don't care at all about those things. But, while MAGAs lie, my eyes and ears do not. The criminal organization called the GOP has managed to institutionalize sociopathy.

When we could pull the straight ticket lever, I said something to Reagan every time I pulled it. "There you go, buddy." " Fuck you, Ronnie." I probably voted for a few GOPs before that, but never since unless my political party, The Austin Chronicle, recommended that I do in some state or local race.

It was reported on this site that Syracuse is playing away this weekend.

The black uniforms always work magic. I know nobody remembers this, but recall them saying we haven't played anybody "with a pulse?" They lost to one school that lost to NIU then were taken to the wire by another team that lost to NIU. MSU was a fight to the end. I see a bad moon rising for these idiots.

Bravo to your mom. That's excellent. I'll use that line.
