Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Chuck Schumer is so fucking worthless, how does he keep getting elected as Minority Leader? The guy can't communicate, he's senile and he's the only known dinosaur that is also an invertebrate. Someone called Hakeem Jefferies "AIPAC Shakur" and I think that's hilariously accurate. He's worthless too, now I see why the Dem establishment picked him as the next Speaker. Dems need to champion issues, not the process and rules. The issue isn't that you are not agreeing to a CR, the issue is that the American people don't even know what the fuck you are holding out for.

We need a thread to predict what new country will be first to have US boots on the ground. I know Iran would probably have the best odds, but after that it should have some interesting options. Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico and China probably round out the top 5. Maybe some latin or South America countries, dark horse possibilities of Gaza, Ukraine and Russia. I would go with Venezuela for good odds and a realistic chance of happening. I bet we would be welcomed by their people as liberators to free them from Communist Marxism!

Pablo on LeBatard's show discussing the whole ordeal and Mark Cuban. I appreciate Pablo's ability to recall all these dates and events, but I really wish he would make a chronological infographic of all the interactions and money exchanges to help illustrate how stupid this all is.- 2025 Wild Card Series
That probably should have been a sac bunt to tie the game when there were zero outs, but whatever. I don't think either of these teams are getting past the Blue Jays, but it would be nice to at least tie it when the runner is on third.- 2025 Wild Card Series

Skubal at 96 pitches coming back out for the 8th is a ballsy move, but it's the playoffs, can't hold anything back!- 2025 Wild Card Series
Is that not blocking the plate anyways? Foot planted behind him directly in the baseline to block the runner.- 2025 Wild Card Series
2 on, no outs after that broken camera delay. Time for something to happen...- 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
I think what this team really needs is a good locker room guy that can rally the troops and support Joe. The Astros need to hire Maldonado as their bench coach, and his presence will turn this thing around. Machete in the dugout would be a huge morale boost! Make it happen Dana!- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I thought the Republicans had a majority? Can they not convince 218 of their own to vote for a bill to fund the government? Also, I thought this administration was all about saving money and getting historic revenue from tariffs. How did they run out of money again?- Comic Relief: Satirical Tweets and Memes

Well, they also traded Derozan for an MVP caliber player in Kawhi... And really, they won game 7 in OT after tying it with one of the flukiest shots of all time, and then had the good fortune of the Warriors to be decimated by injuries just as they made the Finals. But hey, if the Astros win another ring because Ohtanis arm falls off, I won't complain. Either way, Espada is in over his head.- Ballmer alleged to have paid Kawhi Leonard 28m under the table to avoid the salary cap
The replies to Mark are not going well for him. Look at the name of the 1 account that supports him, lol...- 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
Would Dubon not have any trade value if you tender him? Not sure why they would let him walk for nothing when they could have him as a cheap, 1 year rental option for a team looking for a utility man.- Ballmer alleged to have paid Kawhi Leonard 28m under the table to avoid the salary cap
Can't wait for the next chapter in Mark Cuban's book "Weird Hills to Die On"- 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
Missing the playoffs on a tie-breaker or 1 win is pretty sad. So many games they could have made up that 1 game and didn't. Only 7 games behind #1 overall in the AL, nobody is really dominating this league this year. 97 wins by the Brewers was #1 overall, which feels kind of low. A moderately more healthy Astros team this year would have been fighting for that #1 spot and winning the division. Too bad, but can't be too upset after 8 years of dominance. Still a good team that will be back in the mix next year.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, that's what makes a message board fun, but I don't know how anyone can watch 2024 Castle and think he's gonna be able to run an offense effectively while shooting that poorly. As far as the Rockets are concerned, swapping him and Reed right now, all things being equal, doesn't make the Rockets contenders to beat OKC or Denver in 7 games in the playoffs. He would help the situation, but this team is trying to win a championship in the next 2 years, not develop a guy alongside a future MVP over the next 10 years. The Spurs have plenty of runway for him to learn and grow into a good player, the Rockets don't, so I don't think it would make much difference this year if the picks were swapped.- 2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Castle is probably a bit overrated at this point. He was a rookie on a bad team with lots of minutes who got to put up some good numbers in high volume and benefited from extra play time after the Wemby injury. He can't shoot for shit, had a high turnover rate, had negative VORP, BPM, and had the 20th worst True Shooting % in the league last year. He has potential, but he's not some all-NBA type player that they missed bigly on. He might turn into that, but I don't think even SAS guys are expecting that out of him. Reed was clearly chosen to be a 3+D guy off the bench, because it was a weak draft, and they needed that type of utility player. Him being thrown into the PG role this early is a curveball nobody expected, and if he's not up to that task, it won't be a surprise. The best thing he could do is provide 40%+ shooting from 3pt and active, tough defense to help the team win some games.- Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
Woody Marks should be RB1 going forward, dude has way better vision, strength and agility than Chubb. Stroud has been better this game, at least he's getting passes completed. I think a lot of it has to do with Tennessee being ass, and less to do with any internal changes. He may be fools gold after all, but I hope they can adjust and put him in better position to make plays and really earn that second contract.- Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
I must say, I am happy to see Ward looking so bad so far this season. Not sure what the worst #1 overall pick is of all time, but he's going to have a sub 30 QBR for the season if this game keeps going this poorly. It's only 4 games, but most of his passing yards and 1 of his 2 TDs have come in garbage time. Dude has had several poor throws that weren't due to pressure, just bad form, footwork and release. Looks like a college QB who needs a ton of work to be mildly successful. - Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
