  1. The government was doing the right thing in ET and the kids potentially put us all in danger by breaking Merton Hanks out of there.
  2. Fair. I am doing that within my family with small success. This place is for venting, for the most part.
  3. While I applaud Stros and you for stepping in, it’s fair to challenge why he thinks Trump will be good for most if not all of his laundry list of issues. Combine that with the fact that Trump is a felon, and hopefully people understand why it is mind boggling that folks want to vote for this guy unless they are some combo of greedy/selfish/low info/racist and I’ll add single position abortion voter. And I think it’s scarier to a lot of us that >40% of the country probably falls into that bucket.
  4. I’ve had this guy, Destiny, pushed to me on social media. He is some former gamer that has become a Democrat social media influencer. He is constantly debating Trump supporters. He’s really, really good at attacking these guys with facts - like Jordan Peterson and their ilk, and just shutting them down. When I watch these debates, Destiny is destroying them, but the MAGAts don’t see it. They somehow think their dude is getting one over. It’s fucking cognitive dissonance combined with stubbornness. Two realities.
  5. I think the idea that Trump is going to improve any of the things Stros lists as his issues is telling. Trump doesn’t give a shit about any of that stuff. He doesn’t have policies that will improve any of it outside of forceable deportation that will be another Japanese Internment Camp tragedy if implemented. So while I disagree with a lot of what Stros wrote, and I appreciate the effort, I’d like to understand how Trump is going to improve any of that and how Harris is going to make any of that worse. A feeling? This is the issue. Voters don’t understand how their pet issues get addressed and how and what POTUS can or plans to do to address them. It’s “democrats bad for economy and border” “republicans good”. Based on what exactly? Exactly. For instance, the “Trump is better for my Taxes” paradox. If you are making less than $300k in income in Texas, aren’t self employed, and own a home, Trump’s “tax cuts” were probably objectively worse given the SALT caps. That people can’t see that Trump is mentally, ethically, and criminally unfit to hold the office of POTUS is a chilling indictment of >40% of our country being some combo of selfish, greedy, dumb and racist.
  6. This. You put Kamala’s policies on a sheet side by side with Reagan and outside of abortion they’d be mostly in line. My dad said he has never voted for trump but won’t vote Dem either for “reasons”. I told him if he wants his party back he needs to purge it by voting dem. But people are so broken brained with party over country that they can’t bring themselves to do it even though they are pretty damn close on policy. Outside of taxes, where he is probably actually benefited by not having Trump’s SALT cap, he can’t name a policy Kamala has that will harm him. But he “knew her as a prosecutor” (I don’t know what that means other than he was in-house opposite of her at some point back when he still lawyered). Fuck that noise. It’s so dumb. And it’s typical. We need a better permission structure in the GOP I guess to convince people they won’t spontaneously combust if they vote or the D at the top of the ticket. GWB, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, I’m looking at you chicken shits.
  7. Thing is that Oz is like the worst dude in the show. Very reminiscent of the Sopranos. Would not be surprised if Victor kills him in the end or if he kills Victor.
  8. Something like this was already on the table for both guys, wasn't it? Looks like Green blinked and Sengun is betting on himself.
  9. Listening to McShay on Russillo. Was a surprising take re: Ewers v. Beck. Basically, just that those three or four UGa defenders weren't going to be denied. And that Beck was just as fucking bad as Ewers. Not sure I fully agree with McShay re: Ewers, but interesting take from a couple of relatively neutral national guys that calmed me down a bit. Edited to add -- McShay basically said what Hookem10 did.
  10. We are going to run this place soon. Like others said, CDC should pay the fine and ignore the rest. They aren’t going to follow up, and if anything with Bama sitting on two losses now, they need us. CDC’s response should be the first clear signal that shit won’t be run from Birmingham much longer. And Hartzell needs to sit this one out.
  11. Fuck off. It’s always dumb. We aren’t fucking El Tri fans. I guess it worked this time. No harm no foul. But throwing shit on the field is more likely to put us another 15 yards back in the future. If we got it out of our system, it worked perfectly.
  12. I texted my SEC/Aggie acquaintances after this….. “So in the SEC, throwing shit on the field works. Note taken.” Students were assholes and it ended up not mattering but it’s a bad look and the sequence of events isn’t a great precedent even if they were going to overrule the call anyway. And Kirby can still get fucked for his post game comments.
  13. Was at the game and then stayed off the internet last night. Kirby can get fucked with his post-game. Take the win, asshole. He’s probably enemy no 1 coaching wise in this conference. What a fucking whiner. Banks got worked. That was the scariest part of all of this, including Quinn not playing well, as it relates to prospects rest of year. Was it one dude or several working him over? Couldn’t tell from seats. Quinn checked down more than a 38 yr old career backup NFL QB. I feel like his brain is broken. I am not one that thinks Arch is better than Quinn overall necessarily but he has better legs and a better deep ball. Both things that Milroe used to smoke Georgia 3 weeks ago. Our gameplan was like handing advantages to Georgia’s D on a silver platter.
  14. So if Ted goes to College Station on 11/30 is he cursing the home team? How does it work? Do we WANT him at that game? Does it matter if he won or lost on the 5th? Need to know before calling my bookie.

    Burgers

    At this place Gina’s on Congress (across from Frost Tower). The Gruyère burger is fucking legit. Also two Negronis in on a Wednesday at 2 so that helps. But yeah, try it if you are downtown at lunch. Don’t be a poor though. It’s $22.
