She's a very gracious person. I got to visit with her a couple of times.

She is funny, bright, passionate. Gave a great speech as usual. She also spoke in 2022. Those shirts are now available, too.

Yeah, but Hillary's crimes were real, Trump's were/are fake news

There are a bunch of MAGA types who aren't ignorant. It's just that they choose to remain ignorant when it comes to this stuff. And on top of that they are arrogant about it. I agree with this. I think something is coming out of the Biden campaign that is sowing seeds of doubt to a) increase donations and b) fight apathy. Here's an article in Politico yesterday. Of course, most is attributed to anonymous sources: Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden - POLITICO

Had to rep this for the eFfort.

What a dumb question at the end: "What pitch are you most comfortable with as your go to when you need that K?" Like she's going to self scout herself right before the WCWS. They stopped it before we can see how she responded. Hope she said something like, "I have confidence in all my pitches, it really depends on the batter." Edit: And could VIvi had had a better day? Great bat and great fielding. She was fire.

So now we are seeing the same sorts of mailers going out to targeted Democratic voters from some group named "Democratic Elections Runoff Committee" Again, no identification as to where these are originating. I know for certain they are not coming from the TDP. More muddling of the water, hoping enough people complain that the state calls for a halt to SoS info on primary voting being available. The republicans are now pushing for closed primaries and having people declare which party they support when registering to vote. And that registration would be annually, or bi-annually. Which would be a huge pain in the ass. Some weird strategies going on.

Was there a post-game interview anywhere? Was wondering if Coach White took the blame for that blown base running call. Also that last inning it looked like Maloney was pretty wound up emotionally. Good call by whoever to take a little time to get the players together to reassure her. I can imagine that the outfield seems pretty lonely after a bauble like she made in that situation.

Couple of things about those mailouts. 1) There's nothing on them that identifies who sent them out. It's like they knew this shit was shady, so let's do it anonymously. 2) Those were hitting mailboxes Thursday, and the runoff EV started Monday. The voting records don't get updated by the SoS that quickly. 3) They were sending them to not only their base, but also certain demographics, like boomers. 4) Trump wasn't on the ballot in any runoffs statewide. Now they are using him as some Stalin like figure to fear if you don't vote for his chosen ones. I'd be surprised if Trump even knew about this whole thing. They are just appropriating his likeness and putting words in his mouth now. I wonder if they can pursue and charge these people on some sort of mail fraud charges?

That aggy coach was the same one ejected in Florida and was caught cursing fans as he walked off, right?

"They tried to stone him to death first, but the rest of the team was as horrible as he was in throwing projectiles."

German people knew very little about Hitler before he rose to power. They only had papers mainly, and probably some radio. They also had more than two parties to deal with. Hitler was intelligent, driven, charismatic and evil. America has had a steady stream of articles and documentaries about Trump for decades now. Television, streaming and social media are prevalent. There is no reason to not research and learn who Trump is and what he is like. But many don't. That's willful ignorance. If they did with open minds, it wouldn't take long for them to figure out Trump is an idiot in most everything. We dodged a bullet we got him instead of someone with an IQ higher than room temperature. Let's hope our fellow voters rise up and shake off their apathy to resist their shit one more time. I also think Hitler did most of what he did for the good of the German people. Yes, he had a hierarchy of his henchmen and generals who were reaping the monetary benefit. Hitler wasn't into that. I think that mostly he wanted recognition for being bright enough to lead Germany from the depths of depression to a country that all the world envied. Someone who figured out how to build the greatest empire ever. The only Americans Trump is concerned with are those who have a higher social status level than he does (in and out of the US). It's all about him, and he's willing to sell off America to do that.

Read an article yesterday that mentioned this and the fact that the numbers of incidents is trending down and has been for a while. So of course, Fox has to counter that with some bullshit.

I think maintaining control over the Senate and getting Biden re-elected should give them the green light to expand and balance the court. It would be hard to rescind, and once expanded, it's unlikely the MAGA morons could justify another expansion in the near future. It's really one of the only ways to get all this back on track. And since this SC revisited Roe V Wade, it's only fair that a freshly balanced court revisits Citizens United.

Of those 32 years how many of them saw one party in control of the House, Senate and White house? I know Trump's first two and Biden's first two, but beyond that I'd be guessing.

They would lose interest from so many college alums and fans who really don't follow the NFL that much and there's no way the NFL fanbase stretches that far to make that profitable. Much like G League and minor league baseball, just too small an interest base. I know I'd end up with a lot more Saturdays available in the fall.

I'm gonna guess The Playmaker (or whoever started that thread) watches a lot of gay porn.

Yeah, that came across my feed under SI. Same article also went into how Quinn was going to be shown up as a bust, and the real gem of the SEC was going to end up being Weigman. No mention of the situation if Quinn actually does do poorly and is replaced by Arch. Just a bunch of drivel to collect clicks, and each click makes a sound on the aggie annual roller coaster.

I think I am finally going to break down and get ESPN+. If you get the disney bundle, can you also watch the ESPN+ content on my smartTV, or do I have to cast to it off my phone?

I was at the game against TCU when he got that knee injured. All the air went out of the stadium. Wasn't it Lester Hayes who targeted his knee in the Thanksgiving game? A&M always had the propensity to choke when the stakes got high. Always. Still do. I expect nothing less from their appearance in the CWS.

I'm just glad he's here, finally. And with time to get in plenty work with Quinn and Arch before Fall Camp.

They never miss a chance to showcase their irrelevance.

Tall Boys, Generic Beer, Champale. Those bring back memories. I remember the day we cut class to go the the local Maverick Market to buy one of the first six packs of Coors that hit our town. Or maybe we pilfered it. Always depended on who was working.

Burnt! (with the eyebrow raise to empathize). The classic orange. Not some construction site flash.
