  1. This has been a great match so far.
  2. Chip Roy, come get you some leopard. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/19/trump-administration-transition/#link-3DGB3RBIGVCUXK7O5VVMQND3M4 President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday issued blistering criticism of Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) as House Republicans raced to meet Trump’s latest demands to avoid a government shutdown. “The very unpopular ‘Congressman’ from Texas, Chip Roy, is getting in the way, as usual, of having yet another Great Republican Victory — All for the sake of some cheap publicity for himself,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform, later adding, “Weak and ineffective people like Chip have to be dismissed as being utterly unknowledgeable as to the ways of politics, and as to Making America Great Again.” In a second post, Trump said he hoped “some talent challengers” were preparing to run against Roy and that the incumbent “won’t have a chance!” It was not immediately clear how Roy upset Trump. But Roy is a well-known fiscal hawk who has resisted raising the debt ceiling, something that Trump is asking from Republican lawmakers as they rush to avert a government shutdown before the weekend. Roy appeared to respond to Trump on X, saying: “My position is simple — I am not going to raise or suspend the debt ceiling (racking up more debt) without significant & real spending cuts attached to it. I’ve been negotiating to that end. No apologies.” Trump and Roy have clashed before. Trump also called for primary challengers against Roy in a Truth Social post about a year ago, though it came days after the candidate filing deadline for the 2024 primary in Texas, and Roy went unopposed. Roy was one of the few House Republicans to back Trump’s rival in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump’s second post about Roy on Thursday also brought up Rep. Bob Good (R-Virginia), who lost his primary this year after Trump endorsed his challenger. “By the way, how’s Bob Good doing?” Trump asked.

  4. First game I've been able to attend since undergrad. Let's fuck shit up!
  5. Weirdest birdie ever. Wordle 1,271 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  6. I told anyone who brought it up that Texas would win a national title before aggy won an SEC championship. I really never thought we would be in the SEC to win that first.
  7. Poor aggy. I think they underestimated how the Big12 prepared us for that SEC grind.
  8. I've thought this before and wondered if anyone else thought the same. I thought it was just me. I'd love someone more knowledgeable to give their thoughts.
  9. This is one of the few things I've watched on the SEC network. I really enjoyed it and didn't expect to see anything like that with LHN gone.
  10. Anyone know who that is standing next to Bill Little (rip) in the video who is talking at the end?
  11. Door County Wisconsin has narrowly gone to Harris. Either Door County is wrong for the first time ever or Harris narrowly wins. That's all the hope I have at the moment.
  12. Will Trump flip a Biden state? 79% Yes $100 → $123 No $100 → $476 $148,710 I am not on Kalshi, but no on Trump flipping a Biden state looks strong to me.
  13. I only caught the end of the 4th and then the 5th but what I saw was awful. I don't know what's happened but just a few weeks ago I thought we had shit figured out. The last two matches have been dog shit.
  14. Am I reading Bolverk's map incorrectly? Example: On the update today, Franklin County in NE Texas is yellow, but in prior days it had been green. Is that possible? Maybe there are others but that county stood out to me because it's where my parents live. I know that would have negligible impact on any projections, but now I am curious.
  15. Washington Post Article on early voting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/22/early-voting-republicans-democrats-trump-harris/ TL/DR Republicans and Democrats are both voting early this year.
  16. Anyone seen JD Vance lately? Did the campaign lock him up in a sofa warehouse?
  17. I picked 3 of the above randomly. Not one of them talked about physical evidence.
  18. Awesome comeback to steal that set away from Florida!
  19. That makes me want to vomit
  20. @nnm I missed a day somewhere while traveling and I never checked but it's probably the day my starter word was used.
  21. Someone posted a story similar to this and it may have been you. She was alive before the Wright Brothers first flight. By the time she died, a spacecraft was on its way out of our Solar System. All of that happening in one lifetime is amazing.
  22. Can someone who knows more about volleyball and how rotations work help me out? I don't understand why Jenna is not subbed out when she's on the back row. What would be giving up if she were subbed out? Are they trying to develop her into something? I'm just not seeing the advantage unless we would be worse without her back there. If that's the case, can someone explain to me like I'm an idiot why we would be worse off if she were subbed out?
  23. If I am ever in Ann Arbor again, I'll make another swing by Zingerman's Roadhouse. I was invited by friends there Friday night and the food was great.
  24. I just read my Facebook feed. The tears taste glorious.
