  1. Flake still wants to be president. He was in a tough spot and thinks he figured out a way to navigate through it. In the end he has to confirm BK to someday get his party’s nomination. This all amounts to a moral victory at best. Move seen the transformation of Pub voters in my social circle. Folks who absolutely HATED Trump now parrot every idiotic thing he says. They don’t care about our truth and have no clue what they’re supporting at this point. They’ve bent the knee and there’s no going back. They have gerrymandered maps, voter suppression laws and confined Russian interference on their side. We have emotional pleas about past abuse in an elevator to kleptocrats who don’t give a shit on ours. One week to placate the media and then they’ll be right back to dismantling the Republic.
  2. Shit Beto, always moving the goal posts on me. Guess I'll throw in another $50. Reminiscent of JJ Watt’s fundraising. Guess I’ll re-up as well.
  3. VA Secretary can’t overturn Roe or help Trump with his legal problems. Trump barely knows the department exists and likely has no idea what it does.
  4. Distopic Trump-erica’s uniforms will be tailored.
  5. Like it matters. Truth means nothing, only power. Dems don’t get that, and don’t get that they have to be ruthless when they have it. Pubs would wipe their asses with the flag and piss on the constitution if it suited them. The tree of liberty is looking mighty parched, but we’re too fat and happy to give a damn.
  6. Why does anything Pubs do these days surprise y’all? There is no end to their idiocy, mendacity or depravity.
  7. I’m going for the first time since 2005. Hopefully this means something.
  8. We pay for weapons the Pentagon doesn't even want, but a decent wage for teachers is squeezing "blood out of a turnip." This shit is why we have Trump. Selfishness dressed up as high-minded political theory. So many want an advanced society, but simply do not want to pay for it.
  9. Beto 2020. This is how presidents come from nowhere. It strikes me as similar to Obama's meteoric rise following the '04 convention. Look at the Dem field. Old, not real exciting and who? litter that field of likely candidates. Beto will be a well known name after pulling this off in November, with recognition higher than all but Sanders, Biden and Warren. He will also have pros lining up to work for a put together candidate who obviously does well on TV, social media and face-to-face.
  10. To be the best, you have to beat the best, and that's the HOUSTON ASTROS Love it.
  11. Positive: he's ahead of DeVos. Negative: he's behind pyramids were giant granaries guy.
  12. If you don't want a leftist hegemony, why not win a few elections? Put a non-leftist in the White H... er, the Sena..., um the House..., how about win a bunch of state legisla..., uh governorships... Wait. What the hell are you talking about?
  13. Fucking snowflake. If it's safe spaces he's looking for, it ain't gonna be the sideline at DKR when he comes back from Dallas 1-5.
  14. Is this proof of the multiverse? Did this tweet come from a less dark timeline?
  15. People still tell me this 2-3x a year. I don't know if the caterer attached to the alumni center is the same, but the one back then certainly delivered.
  16. Didn't see this before. I got married on the day of the Kansas game in '04. The ceremony at All Saints' across from SRD and the reception was at the Alumni Center. Vince's magic saved my marriage before it began, since I would have most certainly been a sulky bitch the rest of the day had we lost.
  17. Why are people so set on answering a different question? Will he get 3 years? Sure. Was that the question? Nope. Is he going to get us to titletown? Fuck no. In summary, he will get 3 years, and that means we'll still be wandering further into the desert a full decade since we mattered.
  18. He’s become the Tom Herman of football analysts: he knows better than you, so fuck your opinion.
  19. The biggest positive is no one who matters will excuse 6-6 and say he needs time. If it’s money that stops a firing, so be it, but unlike Strong’s tenure, there’s not a real need to hold off judgment til a third year.
  20. That’s absurd. GDGD is a titan of the game compared to Tom. And I’m damning GDGD with faint praise here.
  21. It was finally over for McCarthy when he took on the Army. Maybe this is Trump's "no sense of decency" moment.
