  1. And the Church would get more money per student from the state than public schools get? Did I get that right? I hope that shit is just a rumor.
  2. The Bills wanted Worthy to play for Kansas City. Their cunning plan paid off. Looks like an adult contemporary music act.
  3. Oh we know Eric, we know. But if he did say that, I am not sure why he would delete that. Trump supporters love stuff like that.
  4. And it was a bad spot that put them in that position to begin with.
  5. I will watch the game. I could tolerate the Pats more because I was legit impressed by their excellence. The Chiefs just seem to barely squeak by everybody which is...tiresome. Hate the Eagles though so, I don't anticipate enjoying this much either way. But hey it is the Super Bowl. Any excuse for a party.
  6. Well that's fun.
  7. Sure. But it chips away at the international structure we spent decades building up. And makes countries regret ever deciding to trust us with uncertain consequences. But I guess in the short term it will get us some short term benefits. Though what benefit we got there, Colombia agreeing to do something they already agreed to do, I am not sure.
  8. That is why this forum was made to house us.
  9. Colombia having a problem with the military doing this is perfectly understandable. Then Trump over-reacted to a ridiculous degree, and Colombia caved. I just don't think bullying Colombia over such a minor issue made much sense. What are we doing? Is this really the kind of insignificant shit we want to waive our big stick around for? Anyway everybody will have forgotten about this (maybe even inside Colombia) in a few days, so maybe it doesn't matter.
  10. Wasn't the whole issue was just using military planes? I didn't really get why we couldn't just use commercial planes to drop them off. But whatever. Don't know why such a small issue required a temper tantrum. The whole situation was just bizarre. It is also why I don't like getting caught up in the daily spectacle of Trump bullshit. Most of it is absolute nonsense. Like the whole Greenland thing. Nothing is going to happen, and whatever does appear to happen won't actually change anything. It all just there to distract you from the bad shit that is actually happening.
  11. Right. The reason the Democrats will not address this issue, and the reason the Republicans fail to really solve it, is because the economy of the US benefits from the status quo. The illegal workers get to be exploited for sub minimum wages and illegal working conditions and are willing to come and put up with it to send money home to their families. Their labor benefits everybody. If the Democrats, or whomever, took serious steps to introduce some kind of immigration reform to make this all legal, they couldn't really do it without enforcing existing labor standards which would mean they cannot be exploited as much as before. This would be bad for big business so they block any such effort. And likewise the Republicans only pretend to do something about it and use it as a wedge issue to get out their voters. So the whole thing is gross and corrupt and nobody does anything about it. And we'll see what happens with this latest ICE thing. The kind of ridiculous thing is the asylum seekers, they seem to be the ones who are mostly get shit on through all of this. They are ones who get bussed away from the border by Abbott. I think they are ones who are going to be driven out of the country ultimately. The corporations don't care about them. But they aren't even illegal immigrants, they are following the laws.
  12. Nobody gives a shit about class. Doubtful the very dignified and sophisticated "Vern Dumbquist" does either.
  13. Back when I thought Elon was a dude with the best interests of humanity at heart people would try to explain to me that actually he sucked. I thought that was ridiculous and how everybody is trying to cancel everybody these days but wow... dude was far worse than even they thought. It is amazing. And the worst part is that there is no getting rid of him now. Dude has more money than the GDP of Pakistan. He is going to hold enormous power over all of us for decades to come and there is nothing we can do about it really...well not legally anyway. Every politician is going to be in his pocket. I am definitely going to be far more cynical when these kinds of genius savior figures surface again. And I thought I was a cynical grumpy bastard before.
  14. It is. It overachieved all year but got exposed today.
  15. Well that sucked. Season over. Fucking Eagles won. Booooo
  16. Well, that is the most A&M graph ever.
  17. A&M should celebrate a 4th place finish. They have only have one since 1939 and that was in that weird Covid season.
  18. I think this is ridiculous. Did we win a championship? No. We didn't win the SEC and we didn't win the National Championship. So nothing goes on the wall or whatever, though I guess we got a Citrus Bowl Trophy for whatever that is worth. But still finishing in the top 5 is a really good season. Sure I would rather finish first than fourth. But this whole "if you're not first you're last" shit is idiotic. And yeah we should milk back to back top five finishes for recruiting purposes and propaganda purposes. To do otherwise would be stupid and counter-productive.
  19. This is all the Giants' fault.
  20. Surprised good I hope.
  21. Injuries caught up to them. I am on cloud 9 that Washington finally got back to the NFC Championship after 33 years but I hate to do it against possibly the only fanbase to suffer more than we have. Now...the Eagles need to stopped. No matter the cost.
  22. Hail to the Commanders! Today was the best day to be a Washington fan since 1992. I hope Cosmi is ok.
  23. Few things have remained so consistent since the 1960s as the Vikings and Chargers blowing it.
  24. FUCK YOU BAKER AND MIKE EVANS!!! HAIL TO THE COMMANDERS! Sam Cosmi will see y'all in Detroit.
