  1. There's momentum on the Left, but it ain't with Walz.
  2. Walz is on my shitlist for trying to ratfuck the Minneapolis mayoral race, along with the spineless DFL which pulled its endorsement of Fateh because donors got butthurt their anointed candidate lost
  3. When's the last time you traveled south of 410? I took this for granted given your encyclopedic knowledge of the Brownsville Lopez JV depth chart, but have you actually met anyone from the RGV?
  4. Fantastic video thesis. My only critique is that I'm not sure Joe Rogan has the capacity to do any of this intentionally. He simply has a fragile enough ego required to be played like a fiddle by the real puppetmasters, and by happenstance had enough connections to the legitimate stand-up comedy scene that he could be used as a trojan horse to poison that field of endeavor, which once served an important truth-telling purpose in our society. Comparing him to Marshall Applewhite is kind of a stretch, because Applewhite was a mastermind while Rogan is sort of a useful idiot. Heaven's Gate is the vision of a man who'd gone insane, whereas the Comedy Mothership is more what happens when a hack comedian without a coherent worldview is given unlimited money by techbros on the unspoken understanding that they would stop hanging out with him if he ever dared to disagree with them, and that hack comedian is surrounded by desperate, unknown hack comedians willing to debase themselves for a chance to become just a bit more famous. Rogan has no vision of his own.
  5. Ground beef exceeded $6/lb for the first time. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/heres-why-beef-prices-are-soaring/ (Ignore the first 35 seconds of irrelevant bullshit from state-controlled media) They're blaming drought, parasites (probably the screwworms), and tariffs.
  6. The day he officially makes/misses the cut will be Armageddon in this forum
  7. Has anyone actually received these bonuses? What's the fine print say
  8. Private parochial schools? Not quite the same thing as a Texas 6A powerhouse in my book
  9. Half of the "high schools" that get airtime on ESPN are not real high schools for one reason or another. They're recruiting operations, like Overtime Elite. I'm not even sure they enroll non-athlete students.
  10. I'm kind of confused here. You want the husband to be stupider than Yellowstone guys?
  11. The patient's clogged aortas and sub-90 blood oxygen levels are just a distraction from his chapped lips. The Groups want us to focus on the remote possibility of the patient's death, but it's the patient's chapped lips that Real Americans have elected us to address and we must remain laser focused on their needs.
  12. My absolute favorite part of this is that he knew when to go down and didn't try to get an extra couple yards by taking a hit. That's a confident, high football IQ thing to do and he instinctively did it.
  13. Not just a victory, a landslide built on two years of a lame duck who gets no judges confirmed and no laws passed, paving the way for the "mandate" to do fascism even more quickly than he's doing it now.
  14. The protests came in 2024 because Brandon was a genocidal Zionist, not because of Russia/Ukraine. US intervention in 2022 would have been a completely different beast, and it might also have helped the vaunted red wave happen. Especially if the MAGA media apparatus leaned hard into the "Donald the Dove" lie and trotted out assets like Tulsi Gabbard to discredit NATO. I've seen some bad takes but this might be your dumbest yet.
  15. I have no problem with her, but he's done the job before and has a national profile. I think he'd win by 8 points or more.
  16. Do you know how many variations of this "story" we endured for three consecutive presidential election cycles? These people are statistically insignificant. The base has not broken until every MAGA politician has been voted out and, god willing, extradited to The Hague. Also, his mouth movements are highly suspect. I consider this a Deepfake until proven otherwise.
  17. It also would have guaranteed massive protests in every major city against unnecessary US intervention, and a landslide defeat in 2024.
  18. He'd smoke her, and DSA is why.
  19. A lot of the details and financial projections were not unveiled until recently, so although it's true that the project has been years in the making it's also true that it's a fluid situation and the key terms were not capable of being publicly known or discussed for 99% of the time that this was being cooked up behind closed doors. The Spurs Organization has a lot of goodwill and credibility with the community, but the developers who stand to benefit are usually assholes who don't give one rat's ass about making the city better. We could have the arena without all of the other bullshit, and most people would be fine with it. So the way I see it, a bunch of bad actors are hiding behind the Spurs's reputation and riding on their coattails in order to potentially swindle taxpayers to the tune of several billion dollars. Is there any non-biased source of objective information about who knew what and when they knew it? Also, at this point Project Marvel discussion probably should have its own separate thread.
  20. Controlled opposition. All that's missing are the Washington Generals uniforms.
  21. He was the first Congressman to publicly tell Brandon to step down. We were looking at a 400+ EV landslide for TFG if he hadn't. Kamala had a chance, but of course the people with the worst political instincts were still running the show (the instincts that got us in that predicament in the first place) so she also lost but not nearly as badly. I'll always be thankful to Doggett for that.
  22. I want the rosy projections to be good, but I don't think SA will be spared from the economic carnage that's just beginning and when that happens you will see many contractors and financiers go belly up, which means the optimistic projections are very unlikely to actually happen in reality. GOJ should know that this has already been a done deal, like most of the business before city council and the county commissioners in any part of Texas, none of the votes actually get swayed by public comments because the votes were brokered and whipped behind the scenes months ago. Deep down she knew she wouldn't be able to stop the project. So instead GOJ's goal was to make sure that a vocal opposition existed and showed out, so that she can build credibility with that base of organizers and voters, as well as with the fiscally conservative "vote down every bond ever no matter what" types, in the event that Project Marvel becomes infamous. An event she thinks is likely, and I can't say I blame her. I'm glad the Spurs will stay in SA for the Wemby era, and Helo saying that most of the city is agnostic about the Spurs might be the wildest take he's ever posted on this board.
  23. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/politics/austin-rep-lloyd-doggett-not-seeking-reelection-new-maps/269-f128905e-762c-4924-a99e-edf6a7da6d4a
  24. Trump's failed policies make him an unpopular incumbent. Trump as a "change agent" is when he overperforms, by forming a coalition of morons that disperses almost immediately after he's inaugurated and promptly begins ruining literally every aspect of his constituents' lives, and most aspects of the lives of everyone else worldwide. People really are that stupid. That stupid.
