  1. I like that you can find Starbucks in small towns and suburbs. Way better than gas stations and fast food restaurants, but well below local coffee roasters in bigger cities which are always my preference. And if any of you say “McDonalds and Dunkin are pretty good” prepare for a neg.

  2. Just reflexively told a fast food worker “have a good weekend” as I drove off.  It never struck me til now that service industry people don’t experience weekends the same way as office workers. I wonder if they find that insulting, and if so, have I been doing it my whole life? I say it all the time to people on Fridays. There might be people who think I’m an asshole for that, damn.

    Baseball has entered the chat...

     

    Had the same reaction last night, but as long as the refs can be consistent, we would prefer the refs to let them play because the Thunder are such egregious floppers. And the refs didn't call nearly as many fouls on the Mavs on those ticky-tack fouls as they did in game 1. They still called quite a few, but it was a much more physical game which plays to our advantage because everyone except for Dort on the Thunder weighs like 165. Let them play. 

    Baseball comparison is bad. Yeah Angel Hernandez exists, but for the most part, umpires behind the plate if they are off are often at least consistent, and very few are very obviously wrong. Basketball's problem is that it goes so fast and the rules are just crazy complicated. I had to listen to the first half last night on the radio feed and hearing them talk about the play that OKC challenged and lost made my brain hurt. Something about his feet were clearly outside the restricted zone but the rule says if his body is in a certain position or of the other guy leads with a shoulder the zone is disregarded something something something. They also didn't know if the refs on the floor made the call or if it came from the league office. Block/charge is also impossible to call right in real time most of the time, it's just a coin flip. I honestly don't know the answer on how to fix those types of calls.

    I don’t know - Trump is expected to lie and not be held accountable, and everybody, including him, knows he is lying. Noem is getting treated somewhat like DeSantis and RFK when they fuck up, but also like she should know better than to lie so blatantly. She’s being treated like an adult, unlike Trump.

    Also, Trump doesn’t care if you know he’s lying, he just plows ahead and usually doesn’t get flustered.  Noem gets flustered in these interviews, and the interviewees are going to home in on that.  

    Along those lines, I don't understand why she didn't just stand by the lie.

    "Of course I met him, I was on the security committee (or whatever it was)."

    "There's no record."

    "Of course there is, you're wrong" or "the deep state destroyed the record because they're scared of me me"

    It would be better than this sad pathetic nonapology tour.

    MTG does that and while she looks ridiculous to most of us, she'll probably hold that seat for at least a decade, because morons.

    Stormy beat him to it

     

    Sounds like cause for a gag order, but my extensive research indicates she likely lacks the reflex to make it effective.

  6. Article I read confirmed and said the student was expelled from the frat and punished by the university. Governor is gonna call him a snowflake and punish the school for DEI practices.

  7. It’s the same university system, doesn’t UT subsidize some of the smaller system schools in multiple ways? Only difference seems to be that both are at the highest level of athletics, and the “branch” schools happens to be the more successful and (more relevantly) more popular program historically. That’s how it seems to me, but maybe I’m off.

    While I'm pretty sure the Mineral Wells Ladies Sewing Circle has a firm "no dykes allowed" policy, I would gladly herd cats in a floral blouse complete with cardigan

    In my head I can hear a very catty gay man tearing you to shreds if you wore that outfit.

  9. My daughter says her cat is a “they” and scowls at me when I say “she,” especially since the cat is biologically male, but to me all cats are female. Glad it’s a cat and not a person, I’m much more aware when dealing with people.

    The Democrats need to write up a bill for 500 billion dollars and small tactical nukes for Ukraine and then tell Johnson that if he doesn’t let it up for a vote they’ll go tell Marge to file another motion they can vote for. 

    My view is that Jeffries should tell Johnson that they followed through with their promise to not go along if she raised the motion, and they kept that promise, but it can't be indefinite. .

    "Mike, we kept our promise, now get your dog on a leash or all bets are off."

    She's not out of VP at all. If anything, this whole business is making her the favorite. Remember what Trump thinks of dogs. 

    I thought the same thing until fucking Newsmax and Watters starting grilling her, I think the powers that be have put her on the bench for this cycle. Plus, as big of a piece of shit as she is, which plays well with the deplorables, she's still a woman, and parts of her base will still not want that, and my guess is that it'll be the asshole from Ohio, he's a perfect fit and from the rustbelt (Ohio is lost to the reds but he will play well in Pennsyltucky and whatever fucking parts of Wisconsin that seem to keep it from going full blue.

    Because in 8 years, she'll be the GOP nominee as this will all have blown over by then and America forgets.   

    Then why make a video diary on all the shows admitting to the lie? Take the L on VP, go back to governing all 47 residents of SD, and come back when nobody cares anymore? She’s also fighting with the Indian tribes in her state and Gov. Schitt in Oklahoma has proven it plays well with the whites. Go all in on that one, it’ll work out just fine for her.

    Depends on what she is to trump in an official capacity. If she is speaking on behalf of trump it’s a violation if she’s just a crazy maga supporter it’s not. 

    is he paying her or not? Is she his attorney at all or not? This is how this shit works. 

    She’s his lawyer, she bills, he doesn’t pay..
