    nah...its like tommy sowells says... when you try and talk facts and analysis to a group of people with a sense of moral superiority, in their ignorance, you face futility.  you guys love your echo chamber.  i won't waste my time.  i think i'll just do my "drive by's".  i'm not gonna do the work for you.  figure it out for yourself.  

    Sense of moral superiority?

    we're not the ones worshipping at the feet of a pedophile.

    I think Sark is learning that a program like Texas that "recruits well" isn't quite the same as a Bama or Georgia of the recent past.  And learning himself that just stacking the talent like cordwood isn't all that easy.

    And I think that's a mistake all of us associated with this program make.

    Yeah, but if you look at the last 3 classes we've done anything but "stack talent" on the O-line. We've just kinda adopted a "Trust Flood's evals" mindset and it kinda looks like we got burned there.

    Lee Greenwood + Creed + Kid Rock + Dave Matthew’s Band.

    cheaper just to have a 15 minute video of Latino kids being chased by ICE officers and have AI write a Greenwood knock-off for background music. Sell lots of tickets. Pocket all that cash.

    The reporter isn’t a troll or idiot, she’s pushing on Katie because of the possibility (not necessarily probability) that two Ds advance to the general.  This has happened in statewide races in CA, and the field is crowded for governor. 
     

    Katie doesn’t want to explore this possibility and then gets super snitty and evasive when pressed even though she walked into it by saying “I don’t intend to let that (two Democrats in the general) happen.” Because in her senate run she threw a tantrum about Schiff helping to elevate an R to the general over her and called the election “rigged,” and now that shes the presumptive top D vote getter in the primary she may need to do something similar to guarantee a D-R general she can win.  This is all a perfectly legitimate place to probe. Katie is upset and tells you why— “I wanted to come have a pleasant conversation.” LOL. 

    I WILL fully concede that the reporter sees the flailing and terrible optics and decides to needle and see where it goes. There’s not a journalist on the planet who won’t press when an interviewee for a big race seems to be on the verge of crashing out.  It’s really their job, and it’s the candidate’s job to be media trained and poised and not crash out. Because at some point you’re gonna get asked to justify something that you’d rather not talk about.
     

    All she has to do is get out a decent answer “Well Julie, what we plan is to make our case and tell the democratic voters of California how a Katie Porter governorship will benefit them, their families, and the entire state. We plan to win on values and policy and I am the candidate who reflects the Democratic electorate.  And once they hear our message  I’m confident that I’ll be the decisive Democratic vote-getter and move on to put away a GOP opponent easily in a general election.”

     

    Instead she comes in hot and bothered with some word salad about being from Orange County, argues over the question wording like a too-smart lawyer, and spills blood in the water. 
     

    And yes— this is a double standard because Trump can do all this stuff and is Teflon with his voters. He also has a legit talent to be the one who makes reporters feel defensive and flustered and off-center and that works for him. 

     

    in response to "what do you say to the 40% of CA voters who voted for Trump," the easy, and correct answer is "who gives a shit?"

    How are you gonna hold someone responsible for a fire that firefighters put out a week before it reignited?
     

    I assume they have SOME evidence that the embers from the earlier fire started the Palisades fire. Otherwise, you can't.

    Without getting too political, the "acting" US attorney for the Central District of CA, does not have the best track record at securing indictments...

  6. Uncle Stevo sheds the shackles of the socialist dictatorship under Biden, and a mere 10 months later is whining about the gov't checks not being big enough

    r/LeopardsAteMyFace - He thought he did his part to save this country from a radical socialist dictatorship. Exactly a year later, he finds himself in one.

     

    Meet Sharon - having trouble finding her bootstraps, it appears

    r/LeopardsAteMyFace - Whenever you vote next, remember that these are the people who you are up against. They walk among us.

    Edit: wrong thread, but fuck it

  7. Maybe the best legislation passed by Dems since the Civil Rights Act

    Quote

    California has ordered streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and YouTube to stop cranking up the volume during commercial breaks. Under a law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday, advertisements will be required to air at the same volume as content being streamed on the provider’s platform starting July 2026.

     

    Bill 576 was introduced in February by California state senator Tom Umberg, citing a complaint from one of his staffers about the skyrocketing volume of streaming ads disturbing the sleep of his newborn. In a statement following the bill being signed into law, Umberg said it was inspired by “every exhausted parent who’s finally gotten a baby to sleep, only to have a blaring streaming ad undo all that hard work.”

     

    The legislation is modeled on the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, which enforces ad volume restrictions for TV broadcasters at the federal level, but doesn’t apply to streamers. Given California’s massive influence over the US entertainment industry, the new law could set a national standard.

    You're welcome, America.
