  1. Overblown and not his fault. Lawfare. Witch hunt and they couldn't get the votes. We all know that they'll find a way to justify anything and everything, so long as he keeps promising to punish the people that they don't like AND keeps those radical leftists from taking anymore of their hard-earned money to give to undesirables and shit hole countries. No, a tariff line item wasn't going to be the start of his downfall...but it would have been something to get people talking with potentially some actual staying power for a change.
  2. Also a little out of character that Luthen would assign something that loud in his own backyard. But obviously it's time to start making some bigger moves, especially if it means having a focused Bix and an unburdened Andor.
  3. You're kind of making my point for me. Where has that stuff been exposed up to this point? CNN? The Atlantic? No one gives a fuck. Amazon, podcasts, YouTube, reality shows...that's where America (sadly) lives.
  4. I vehemently disagree. Directly associating Republicans with brand new taxes is about the only thing that would be considered damaging to their brand. Way more than misplacing a few brown people of defying a few court orders (those are pluses, after all).
  5. Having "Tariff Tax" written out in every Amazon shopping cart full of cheap plastic toys for little Kayla's birthday would have penetrated the masses more than just any mechanism currently available in our society. Which is why it was never, ever going to happen.
  6. Some variation of "support our warfighters" or "get the best tools in the hands our warfighters" is uttered in every major briefing I've ever attended with government (civilians),contractors, vendors, and other military-adjacent entities. It's not much different than "synergy" in the corporate world. Translation: he heard it once and thought it was some cool, exclusive term and feels like he's a bad ass saying it. Mark it down: he'll start squeezing in "Tier 1" and "operators" sooner than later.
  7. Save yourselves the disappointment and never, ever get your hopes up.
  8. Listen, man, "Hey, do you want to meet Tom Brady?" is one hell of a pickup line.
  9. Pretty sure I can already tell you the answer.
  10. I've always been fascinated by the hierarchy among gold digging whores. Like, at what point did she realize that she's not living-on-a-billionaire's-yacht hot/slutty or even entertainer/athlete worthy, before settling for famous, grumpy old coach living in Generic College Town, USA?
  11. Yeah, no way this administration is going to let Bezos go through with that. That will reach every American--even the most politically ignorant. I don't know how you grease the palms off someone worth 12 digits, but they'll find a way.
  12. Most Western democracies have a more... intimate...history with fascists and are more keenly aware of their consequences. I guess you have to learn by doing.
  13. I'm not. It's an obvious foul (if seen). The stuff they let go earlier was primarily in the paint, as is the norm in the playoffs. You can't sneak your hand into the midsection of a jump shooter. Brooks knew what he was doing. Sometimes the refs miss it, sometimes they don't. Now, if you want to argue that they thought Brooks made more contact than he did when they blew the whistle, and they only noticed the hand on Jimmy's midsection on review, you'd probably have a case.
  14. The existence of other missed calls means that refs should purposely miss calls in close games?
  15. Tough one for Houston. They played better and smarter. Just couldn't hit their free throws.
  16. Any contact that purposely knocks a shooter off balance should be called if it's seen regardless of time and score. What are you even talking about?
  17. Seriously? It's a textbook foul. It wasn't incidental contact. It's a crafty move that players like Brooks use all the time to subtly push a shooter off balance. He got caught.
  18. Don't think I've ever seen a team play hack-a-Shaq on a player to get him off the court almost solely because he is unstoppable at getting offensive rebounds. Respect. Steven Adams is such a beast. Wish he could have played in a different era that could have better utilized his strength.
  19. Pretty sure Minnesota is going to be the meteor in this analogy.
  20. Reggie, a 74-72 game with 3 minutes left in the 3rd isn't particularly low scoring.
  21. Watching the playoffs through MAX/Discovery is brutal. Just nothing but advertisements for reality shows starring the trashiest people on the planet. 1000 lbs Sisters. Sister Wives. The entire Paul family. Unreal that there's an audience for this shit.
  22. I assume that calling your opposition clowns in a political ad is a gasp-worthy, devastating insult in Canada.
  23. Was just about to compliment Houston for forcing Golden State to play the Rockets' game--even mixing in some smart zone--but then Jalen Green pulled up for an early shot clock contested 3.
  24. First one absolutely shouldn't have been a technical. That one probably should have been. So the refs gave him a flagrant instead of a tech, so he could stay in? Fair...I guess? This game is going to take 4 hours.
