the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion
I am just noodling on this for fun. Not saying I agree with it. But is the idea to trial balloon a group of Dems voting for a moderate Republican in a vote to create momentum and get the folks supporting Kevin to consider to switch to that person in subsequent vote? I don’t think prisoners’ dilemma game theory would allow for it, but that outcome is nice because it sidelined the 20 never Kevins and probably folks like MTG as well.

the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion
“Like” Kinziger and Cheney. In any event, like I said, crazy talk. I would think even in a competitive district, a rep wouldn’t turn because that means zero money from the party in 2024 and likely primaried from the right. Leopards eating faces and all. Ultimately, I think Trump switches horses to someone like Scalise who may be acceptable to the Never Kevins, and this is over notwithstanding proclamations like the ones the “only Kevins” like Crenshaw are making.

the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion
I mean, aren’t there 11 moderate GOPs that are safe from being primaried (or like Kinziger or Cheney, don’t care) that are just sick of this shit and would put Cuellar or someone of his ilk up? Would Dems align behind that? Never mind. That’s crazy talk.

NFL week 17 / Bills DB Damar Hamlin seriously injured, taken away via ambulance- MNF game suspended
They should just cancel the game. It isn’t going to effect whether teams do or do not make playoffs outside some crazy opponent’s winning percentage tiebreaker among the 8-8 teams, and then, who cares? If I am correct it’s a matter of whether Ravens/Bengals win division (only if Bengals lost), and then the 1/2 seeds between Chiefs and Bills and 2/3 seeds among Chiefs Bills and Bengals. Call it a tie (which still wins the division for the Bengals, I believe) and move on and show the world that the NFL gets it. I dare the Ravens or Chiefs and their fans to complain.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Panamera 4S Sport Turismo E-Hybrid came in last month. Life has gotten in way of really enjoying it fully but have started to this week and it’s fucking rad. A lot to learn to really max it out (first Porsche) but I’ve only filled it up once and that’s because I had to drive it back from Houston. Plug in hybrid is legit.

Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. Washington - 8pm on ESPN
It wasn’t working because we were playing the wrong RB.

Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. Washington - 8pm on ESPN
Playing Keilan over Brooks would be firable if they weren’t scared Arch would leave. I’m done with Sark.

This Brooks guy is good. Get him the ball. Pretend he is Bijan.

Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. Washington - 8pm on ESPN
Sark thinking Keilan was the better starting RB over Brooks or even blue is problematic, Keilan has a role but it’s not as starter. if first two series go badly this is where there is nothing to lose playing Maalik. It won’t happen though.

Netflix Recommendations
So Wednesday is pretty fun actually. We nailed the big bad episode 1 and second big bad is plainly obvious once it’s discussed. But even with about a 50/50 chance on the actors being adequate, it was still entertaining enough. It’s getting massive attention so expect a number of seasons. Luis Guzman as a jaundiced, Gross Gomez Addams was a choice.

Unless the teams hunker down for penalties I expect goals in next 30.- World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
Messi 6 years ago buries that last second chance.- World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
I mean that was an insane strike. Falling down volley aimed perfectly.- World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
Hate to defend Fox but for the millionth time they do not control the feed. FIFA does. damn Mbappe- Welcome to Wrexham
While there were no guarantees, good on them for having the idea in a post-Drive to Survive world. Of course it was going to work. Helps that RR and RM seem to be two pretty self-aware dudes. Not sure Ed Norton and Sean Penn could have pulled this off.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
So much left on the table. I mean, if you are going to drift, grift right. Perhaps the incremental costs of programming them to blockchain were just too much. Curious how they plan to limit them and uniquely identify them.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Wait. These aren’t on the blockchain? Are you serious?? I was at least going to give him credit for creating a commodity that could be traded up among the idiots and each trade would kick back some to him via smart contracts. I also presumed he’d use the blockchain so they could launder money and back door campaign contributions to him. Holy shit. It’s like he asked Elon “What would my Maga idiot followers fall for?” “Sell them a jpeg and call it an NFT. Sell them for $100 a pop.” “No. $99. Then they think they are getting a deal.” I go back and forth on whether Trump is trolling and self aware. This one has me leaning toward yes.- Huge Piece of Shit and alleged Woman Abuser Chris Beard has been hired at Mississippi
Are people still trying to find a way through this? The only way she drops charges/recants if they are staying together and if they are staying together we need to fire him. If they are done as a couple, I imagine she won’t do that, and given affidavit we should fire him. She FAFO’d with a guy willing to put his hands on a woman, and he FA with crazy for far too long and FO. Not our standard.- World Cup Quarterfinals - Croatia/Brazil, Netherlands/Argentina, Morocco/Portugal, England/France
So Sterling or Rashford first? Thinking Rashford.- World Cup Quarterfinals - Croatia/Brazil, Netherlands/Argentina, Morocco/Portugal, England/France
Spurs on Spurs violence- World Cup Quarterfinals - Croatia/Brazil, Netherlands/Argentina, Morocco/Portugal, England/France
Holy shit Argie is acting more butthurt than any winner Ive ever seen. You’d think they’d lost. Messi should have had a yellow for the handball and the penalty was soft as fuck and a horrible call. The ref wasn’t up to snuff but Argentina by far had the best of it. I wish Virgil had fucking ruined a couple of those dudes at the end of the game. Argentina can eat a dick. If it weren’t for Uruguay they’d be the biggest bunch of whiney bitches in the tourney. Again, they won, right? - World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
