As I have tried to say, and it's been taken as defense of Trump and it's not: I think we would all be shocked at how many lobbyists more resemble Paul Manafort than Mr. Chips. Teh Donald has taken everything to 11, but hopefully we wind up acknowledging that there are a whole lot of fuckers in DC that take it to 7 or 8 and are still dirty af and get them too, eventually. In other words, this mess didn't really start with Trump, and the "cure" shouldn't end with him, either. Warren proposes that foreign governments be banned from soliciting the US government except through their diplomats. Simple, straightforward solution. DO IT.11 points

When your wife tells you to sit down we need to talk, right after you get home from a work trip and you're thinking, "great what the hell did I do wrong", and then she pulls out a positive pregnancy test. This in turn makes you lose all control and start ugly crying like I didn't think I had in me because you had been trying for YEARS. This happened 2 months ago. 14 weeks tomorrow. Not Trivial, don't care. Got dusty just typing that.9 points

I'm just glad we're getting to rehash the exact same fucking argument for the 743rd time. Not only does no one ever change their mind, the actual.discussion solves absolutely nothing. But hey, in the end, it can be a fuckload of posts about the same shit or it can be weeks of shitposting to get the thread to some irrational number of pages for no reason.7 points

Poisonous. And he gets applause from more than a third of Americans. The thing is, the message has been hammered into the hoopleheads for decades. It is a GOP talking point. Bad: the press; unions; tort lawyers; environmentalists; feminists; scientists; Good: corporations and the wealthy who, in pursuing their own best interests, contribute to the best interests of the citizens of the US. They've convinced a large segment of the population to abandon and despise the instruments available to get redress against the great powers and, instead, embrace the great powers. Love them. Trust the invisible hand of the market that they don't understand to make everything come out okay in the end. Idiot World in Ascendance7 points

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Continuing this Italian kick I'm on, which probably won't end anytime soon. According to my biggest critics, and by that I mean family, this is one of the best things I've ever made. Ingredients: 1-2 carrots, 2-3 cloves garlic, a few sprigs thyme, a few sprigs basil, half an onion, 1 pound can of peeled tomatoes, EVOO, salt, one whole package of spaghetti pasta, and about half a package of whatever kind of ground meat you want - I went with turkey because it's really mild and I was going for a more light, fresh taste. Little bit of prep work - grated carrots, chopped onion, thyme removed from stems (what a fucking beating - there has to be a better way than what I did), chopped basil and thinly sliced garlic (or minced - whatever you prefer). Not pictured are the tomatoes after getting them all squished up with my hands. I saw someone do it that way once rather than a food processor or mixer as it keeps the tomatoes a little more rustic feeling and allows you to control how big of chunks you want. Start sweating the onions and carrots down in a few table spoons of EVOO. Once it's looking pretty wilted, add ground meat. Once your ground meat is about half way brown, add thyme, basil and garlic. Get it all the way cooked to where it starts feeling like it's coming together as one cohesive concoction. Add the canned tomatoes after squishing them up with your hands and a few tablespoons of salt and mix it all together. It will be really saucy at this point. Let it simmer for about 30 mins (good time to start your water boiling to cook your pasta). It becomes much less saucy and the flavors really begin to build throughout this process. This was almost like a paste once simmered down for 30 mins. Add al dente pasta that you remove from salted water about a minute before the directions tell you to pull it. Start mixing that together and if you need it a little more saucy, add a ladle or two of the pasta water. It's magically just the right amount of starchy and salty. I also add a few fresh leaves of basil and couple more splashes of raw EVOO to brighten it up a little at this point. Find some big old Italian bowl that looks like it came from grandma (and that Surly is sure to bust your balls about) to serve it in. Plate with some fresh grated parmigiano reggiano, which I now keep about a 1 pound block of on hand at all times because it takes just about everything to 11. Enjoy.6 points

I’ve read a lot of tweets in my time. I manage half a dozen twitter accounts, both for some personal projects/books, but also related to some side-work I do for a company. Between those 6 accounts, I’ve never pumped out a cumulative 50 tweets in two days. The closest is during a couple of trade shows, two of the accounts will each push 10-20 tweets a day (concerning product releases). Even during those busy trade shows, when the urge might be there to constantly keep tweeting and retweeting 5-10 times an hour, I and the people I’m working for are very careful about making sure that we have a narrative we want to follow (and it’s put together long before that day), and that the things we want the customers to focus on are never truly buried by less important stuff. That’s why we try to limit things to under 20 a day, and every 3-4 tweets (and retweets, such as customer impressions or questions), we make sure to come back to the main point/message we are pushing that day. We end the day with a tweet that is focused on the main narrative we are pushing overall. I check Dotard once or twice a day just to see if we are invading somebody. I’ve come to (usually) recognize when Trump is trying to build some kind of narrative. He does it a lot. He may do dumbass things and be an idiot, but he can be on top of the social media game, and know how to stir his base up or point them in the direction he wants them to go. He’s smarter than his base, and he tries to play connect-the-dots with them, with him holding the pencil. These last 3-4 days, if you cherrypick certain things and ignore others, it could be argued that he’s just trying to stir up his base. And actually, quite a few of his tweets are aimed squarely at stirring up his base, or laying out a narrative that he’s innocent and being wronged. The problem, for him, is when you don’t cherrypick, and you look at his output as a whole. It goes from being a narrative that he’s trying to stir up his base, to a modern-day Howard Hughes spending his weekend tweeting from the bathroom. Something has set him off and ramped his paranoia way up. Way, way up. It truly is like he’s talking to his TV. It feels like we are close to every other tweet being all-caps, with him asking multiple times a day “WHY DOESNT THE WORLD LIKE ME, WHY DOES CNN HATE ME, WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED FOR WINNING.”5 points

It's kinda shitty for Sirota to have been shadow-campaigning for Bernie while working as a reporter and not disclosing that he was already essentially part of Bernie's campaign rather than an impartial commentator or even simply an enthusiastic but unaffiliated supporter. He absolutely misled people about that and that's why he just deleted his entire twitter history. It's not something that hasn't been done numerous times before, but that doesn't make it less shitty and he was sort of a prick when he was pretending he wasn't working with Bernie, so now that that turns out to have been a lie it makes his prickish behavior look even worse. I like Bernie and he's good and the OG and still cool etc. etc. but it's not a good look for him to be running for the Democratic nomination, which will require more Democratic support than he got last time, while hiring people who refused to vote for Hillary against Donald Trump. Yes, Hillary sucked. No, a vote for Jill Stein instead of Hillary is not remotely defensible and fuck those assholes with rusty pitchforks. What I'm saying is that BT needs to get on the Mayor Pete bandwagon.* *notaffiliatedinanywaywiththeButtigiegcampaignfuckallofyouhaters4 points

Forgot to respond to this... Good work. Democracy is cool and everyone should follow your lead. We're working for the right team you're helping the country and you're doing what millions and millions of people don't. This is the difference between human social democracy and fascism.

Tarp made it to the LB portion of his preview series and like the CB discussion it is delicious. Enjoy. Gigem247 is doing a breakdown of each position group as Texas A&M prepares to head into spring practice which is now just a day away. Here's a look at the linebacking corps which has a lot of question marks due to injuries and youth after the losses of multi-year starters Otaro Alaka and Tyrel Dodson. ANTHONY HINES Hines missed most of 2018 with a leg injury that required surgery. He's one of a few players that won't be at full contact but should be out there in a yellow jerseys participating and getting reps. He's expected back for fall camp without any issues. The good news is that Hines' absence will allow the younger players to get more reps than normal. The bad news is that linebacker is a contact position and that Hines may need the reps to get back to full speed sooner. At his best, Hines is very productive due the fact that he has great feet, fluid hips, can avoid blocks, has good vision to see how things are going to develop, and range. Hines also has great closing speed and the long arms to wrap people up or fend them off. He reads blocks well and has the burst to beat people to gaps regardless of whether they are blockers or ball carriers. His drops on coverage are also above average for someone his age. He also can run and change direction well enough that's he usually one of the first people down in coverage on special teams and is an excellent open field tackler. Those are the reasons he was basically the first backer off of the bench as a freshman and was slated to start at the Rover as a sophomore before going down. BUDDY JOHNSON The junior was more athlete than backer during his first two seasons at A&M, someone who played lots of different position in high school who was still learning to read blocks and deal with people coming at him from different angles. He took the place of the injured Alaka in the bowl game versus North Carolina State and started slowly but wound up with five tackles. He’s quick enough to avoid blocks when necessary, change direction in coverage, close quickly on the ball, and blitz. He's gotten bigger physically (up to 225 pounds) which should help him take on blockers. The reps he gets in the spring will help him grow into the position even more. AARON HANSFORD The 2015 signee had good linebacker film in high school but came to Aggieland as a receiver (playing the position as a high school senior), suffered a season ending injury in 2016, redshirted, played sparingly in 2017, and was injured again in 2018. He's listed at 6 foot 3 and 240 pounds but he's missed a lot of time in College Station, hasn't played backer in three seasons, and is a wild card at best. He displayed the ability to run and close on the ball but in order to be the player that everyone hopes he can he's going to have to demonstrate a level of physicality that hasn't been a part of his game in some time. Here's what we had to say about him before he arrived on A&M's campus. As an outside linebacker, he has closing speed and is effective as a blitzer coming off of the edge. His long arms enable him to have sufficient range to make plays on smaller offensive players in space, especially when he is covering down on slots. When he gets his hands on people, they tend to go down quickly. These attributes also make him effective on special teams in terms of him being able to get downfield quickly and make plays. Hansford does not run a lot of polished routes at this stage of his career. He normally either gets downfield and goes up for the ball or takes a short pass and turns it upfield for a gain. If he is going to make it as a receiver, he has some work to do on that side of the ball. As a linebacker, he needs to be able to learn to shed and scrape over the top in order to make plays after contact rather than just rely on his physical abilities. ANDRE WHITE JR. White is an early enrollee who played Mike linebacker at the high school level and he is built like one with a big frame and base. He sees things very well on a football field. He’s not someone who is a sprinter but his vision enables him to make plays just about everywhere and from any angle. He understands how to avoid blocks and maintain the proper run fits within a run stopping scheme. White is disciplined and doesn’t overrun plays. However, when he reads something, he gets the jump ahead of everyone else to the ball. In pass coverage, White understands how to drop and yet maintain eye contact with potential route runners in order to follow the ball in the air and break on it. A&M needs White to step up in the spring so he can be in the rotation if necessary in the fall. SUMMARY A&M has a lot of question marks given the loss of Alaka and Dodson and the fact that newcomers will be getting significant reps at the position in the spring with some of them being held out of contact until the fall. One of the things that the linebacker corps benefitted from in 2018 was the play of the front four which kept them free to make plays and there will be a lot of different faces there as well in the spring. A&M needs at least one of the newcomers (White or Hansford) to emerge as no worse than a second backer alongside Johnson so that they'll at least have a three man rotation for the fall. And like most years, they'll need their starters to stay healthy until recruiting can fill the gaps on the depth chart that never seem to go away at the position.4 points

I don't think Trump gets a pass unless complicit in Congress also get a pass. Mass resignations? I just don't see it. Also Trump Org --> DonJr, Ivanka, Eric, and Jared for his part getting off w/o prison ? Again, don't see it breaking that way at all. My hope is Mueller blows up a massive multi-faceted foreign campaign contribution laundering operation that blows up key members of Congress/RNC which in turn tenderizes what's left of the Senate for impeachment and conviction/removal.4 points
