Mamdani's Mamdate
Nobody can seem to agree if these leftists are going to create a police state that is going to kill millions or a lawless anarchism. In any case I am just hoping to see some new ideas of actually addressing these social ills. Anybody, left right or center, will flounder if they focus on ideology rather than the practicalities of addressing these problems. Just attempting to do anything at all seems to require some pretty radical politics these days for whatever reason.

Yeah well he should hear what people say about Florida.

SMU grads have generations of inherited wealth. That proclaims all they need.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
It feels worse somehow. I think that at least in an individual casino you can just go to the guys across the street. But fair enough. You are probably going to lose, but in the unlikely event you do win they will make sure you don't win for long.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Yeah well...still counts. Same as SMU's wins. Kind of glad we are past that era. Now billionaires can just nakedly buy players but at least it is transparent.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
They pretty much only dominated the SWC. They had one big win over Notre Dame in...um...the 1988 Cotton Bowl I think? Every other chance they had to do something big on the national stage they blew it. Edit: Ok they also beat Auburn in the 1986 Cotton Bowl, which was probably their best team in that stretch. And they never once finished in the top 5 during their 11 year "decade" of dominance.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
That did happen. But the rivalry has shifted pretty decisively back to us after 1994. Which was...32 years ago. We went 9-2 in the 11 years after 1994, is doing one game worse really that big a difference? And Texas has had more dominant stretches, we had a 10-0-1 stretch at one point. And A&M didn't really erase us as we also lost to just about everybody else in that stretch. Our only team that was any good beat them in 1990. They act like somehow we are bending the truth or using propaganda here. It is them who think their run from 1984 to 1994 has some increased significance over any other stretch of time. And good for them but the other years still count.

I hear that if you actually are a good bettor and win these gambling apps will limit your bets or actually ban you. Is that true? Because then it really is just a heads I win, tails you lose proposition. I am way too emotionally invested in sports to ever consider betting on it.

Thank you Parker and good luck in your future... Nevermind. I only wish you destruction, suffering, and pain.

Wow that's horrible. Get better Ship. While I am leary of the roller coaster of hopium and despair when following a serious situation like this, I hope that positive (under the circumstances) assessment is correct.

Well that is the nice thing about local government in a federal system. We will see if what they do works. If it does, we can do it other places.

Trump Presidential Photo Album
Yeah I was glad at the time for his incompetent ass and his corrupt cronies to go. Now I realize it only gets worse and it is a race to the bottom. Bring back Perry and his corrupt cronies.

Comic Relief: Satirical Tweets and Memes
Yeah they said the same shit during the invasion of Iraq. Gloating while distorting what leftists were saying about it. But then they elected a guy who said the whole thing was a massive mistake later. Guess the leftists were right. I hope in the future those Venezuelans are still celebrating, but we'll see.

Senate 2026
Only thousands? He was way behind Obama. FDR is revered but he was certainly bound by his supporters and the party as it existed in that time. When asked what a group needed to do to get him to do the right thing on some issue he candidly replied, "you have to make me." Which I always thought was instructive. We think of these guys as leaders but really, we have to lead them.

2026 Midterms ...
Massie is actually pretty reliable. He has an ideology he abides by. You will usually know what his opinion will be and what he will do before he ever opens his mouth.

2026 Midterms ...
I don't know. More of our voters live in cities and have less need to vote by mail. The attacking voting by mail seems to hurt the elderly, rural, and military voters the most. Special skills? What kind of skills are we talking about?

January 6 revisited five years later
Whatever else he may have done, he fucked it up by attempting to run for re-election. That one decision makes his whole Presidency a failure.

Trump’s America
I thought he did discuss removing Mexico's President. But hey what we have there is bad enough.

I don't necessarily understand the issue with recognizing that providing housing is an important public interest. Especially from a country who hates and fears the homeless so much. Obviously the devil is in the details but something must be done, particularly in cities like New York and San Francisco and places where prices have just gotten ridiculous. Actually trying to solve public social problems is something we used to do in this country and then at some point decided to stop doing. Time to get back to work.

Things going on in Cuba...
Yeah. Ted Cruz can go visit the land of his ancestors. Maybe he will love it so much he will stay.

What's happening in Iran?
Great news! Keep it going Iranians. A rare moment I don't hate a Macklemore post...or song.

Things not going well in Venezuela
What? Somebody is going to fly Maduro back in in 2028? The Democrats barely undid any of the things Trump did during his first term.

Things going on in Cuba...
That was always my thought. We just lift the sanctions and we would bring down that regime with our money and crap in no time. But it is what it is. I do hold out hope that once that regime does fall then certain Cuban immigrants go home and find their roots.
