  1. Genuinely the weakest, most easily influenceable man in human history.  Do you know how easy it should be for an 80 year old Republican to stay mad at a brown millennial socialist, and this motherfucker can't even do that.

    For all the speculation about a potential Oval Office dust-up during Mamdani's visit, Trump was cordial so far in the Oval Office.

    "We're going to be helping him," Trump said, adding that "we agree on a lot more than I would have thought."

    That's a notably different message than the one Trump gave during the New York City mayoral campaign, when he repeatedly threatened to withhold federal funding to the city if Mamdani were to win.

    "I think you're going to have, hopefully, a really great mayor," he said. "The better he does, the happier I am."

    Directly asked about his previous comments that Mamdani is a "communist", Trump said simply that he would "change".

    "Some of my views have changed," he added. "I feel very confident that he can do a very good job."

    Trump repeatedly expressed support for Mamdani during tough questions from reporters, tapping him on the arm and telling him it's "okay" to say he is a despot.

    "I've been called much worst than a despot," he added. "So it's not that insulting."

    Trump seems to be going to great lengths to avoid any spat at the White House - as does Mamdani.

    Looking to the future, Trump said that the two might have disagreements, but that ultimately they would be able to convince each other.

    "I hope we do [meet again]," Trump said towards the end. "We had a great meeting."

    Amazing how when a HC selflessly gives up play-calling duties the offense starts rolling. 

    Honestly not sure which part of this sentence to question first: the insinuation that Demeco Ryans was calling our offense or the fact that they “rolled” last night.

  3. Hypothetically, what would happen if a bunch of people started dressing up as ICE agents and just began barking conflicting information at everyone and turning the scene into chaos?  ICE has already made it clear that they don't feel a need to identify themselves, so how could anyone know for sure who is impersonating who?

  4. I guess I'll attempt to offer a little nuance to the conversation.

    10 months ago, I had zero doubts that Sark was THE guy.  Our teams looked tough and prepared.  Our roster decisions made sense.  All of the off-the-field money stuff seemed in order.  There's a reason so much of the blame for not winning it all fell on Quinn, and that's because pretty much the rest of the program looked exactly like you would want a championship team to look.

    Were there areas that weren't perfect?  Sure, but there's rarely a "perfect" college football team.  Hell, Ohio State fans were ready to push Day out the door last December.

    But something changed in the offseason.  The team this year does NOT look the same, nor does the coach.  Either our QB looks like he has never thrown a football before or our WRs act like double amputees or our OL acts like a bunch of matadors or our secondary looks like swiss cheese.  Just not a single cohesive performance all season.

    To be very clear, this is NOT the same look that Sark's other teams have had.  Acting like he's the obvious problem that we should have all seen coming is dishonest at best.  Something is different this season.

    If there's a way to get the program back to how it felt 10 months ago, then I'm on board.  But if whatever happened is permanent and if this is the new reality, then he's got to go or we are just delaying the inevitable.

    I will never understand. Just from a basic perspective of politics, how did we get here?  Where people have pledged their entire existence to a politician?  Why are these people so broken?

    What frustrates me is that most of the Trump supporters I know would never tolerate Trump as a coworker or neighbor or family member.  Yet, because of team politics, they’ve got undying devotion to him as President.  It’s insane.

    Just stepping back, how was it so easy for the Republicans to peel off 8 Democrats (17% of the caucus) with nothing more than a promise to back pay federal workers (which they are legally required to do anyway) and a future vote that everyone knows won't actually happen? Serious question - when was the last time that the Democrats peeled off 17% of Republicans with minimal promises in order to get something done?

    Would it make you feel better or worse to learn that the number was much greater than 8, these were just the 8 that were strategically selected to minimize blowback?
