  1. I bet on sports. I think sports betting should be legal. I also think advertising for sports betting should be completely prohibited and you should have to go to a casino and place your bets in person. Allowing player prop parlays on apps linked to credit cards is just insane.
  2. Clinton didn't run away with anything. The right's coalition fractured under its own internal contradictions. Dems have been focusing on economic issues since 1992. The fact that nobody believes that is a different problem.
  3. What do you think the word "request" means?
  4. Why are you reading Lew Rockwell’s site?
  5. I figured Elon didn't actually sleep with any of his baby mommas because he suffered from a case of dickwreck. I never considered the possibility that he simply couldn’t get it up because he’s only attracted to children.
  6. The GOP doesn't have the manpower, resources, or stomach to go full hard autocracy. A lot of GOP officials are already getting skittish over some of the more authoritarian shit as they watch their popularity plummet alongside it. Ted Cruz didn't speak out in support of Kimmel because he actually gives a shit about free speech. He's trying to plot a future political career after Trump. I'm torn between thinking the Dems should say "fuck you, we'll shut it down until the elections unless y'all want to eliminate the filibuster," and thinking the Dems should negotiate to get some sort of popular concession. It shouldn't be restoration of Medicaid funds, most people don't even know that was cut so few will care about that, and plenty of voters would then just think "see, Trump never really wanted to cut it anyway!" Maybe demanding RFK's firing, and/or the DOGE shitheads, and/or a guarantee that Trump won't just steal everything for his own ends going forward (though how they could find a way to secure that guarantee I've got no idea). It would need to be something simple to explain, popular, and that would be viewed as a clear loss for Trump.
  7. Schumer's entire approach this time feels like he's implicitly saying "sorry I fucked up badly last time let me prove it won't happen again" to the rest of the party. There's no end game, not that there has to be, but I really don't sense any other real coherent thought behind this. It does make messaging things difficult, but Trump will take the majority of the blame no matter what so Bozo's proposal is as good as any.
  8. Ah, I see, you're one of those "he actually didn't do anything bad or if he did actually brutally murder thousands of people it's because he was secretly a Jew" lunatics.
  9. What the hell are you talking about?
  10. What are the odds these combine into an unholy monster that hits Gainesville next Saturday?
  11. Pretty sure that Timmy Chan's near the Dome is closed and they're turning it into an El Tiempo.
  12. Venezuela.
  13. This is the most obviously fraudulent "evidence" since the Atlanta cops killed that guy at the cop city protests and then threw down a fucking S&W Military and Police model sidearm as a drop gun.
  14. You want something quicker and more reliable? Did Jack Posobiec post it? If so, it's a lie!
  15. Stop fucking quoting Chat GPT summaries of shit man. It's not a goddamned fact checker.
  16. Pretty safe to assume at this point that any time a shooter is killed rather than arrested law enforcement will fabricate evidence to make them look like a leftist.
  17. It's so fucking perfect that pretending to be the real victims of American society is so routine for them that they've adopted a standard practice to make it as easy as possible for them to do.
  18. The Court has always been political. It used to be common to nominate politicians and political operatives who had little-to-no judicial experience to the Court. But they operated in different contexts than we have today, contexts in which they understood the necessity of couching what were partially political decisions in something that at least resembled Law. As awful as it was, as wrong as it was, even Dred Scott was based on a thread of an intelligible legal theory. Lochner and the Slaughterhouse cases were based on intelligible legal theories. They were theories I very much disagree with and which I think are contrary to our Constitution, but they were coherent as legal arguments. Similarly, the changes brought about by the Warren Court were based on intelligible legal theories that had been around for a long time. The Warren Court was political, but it wasn't just nakedly siding with its preferred party with no or little reasoning and conflicting justifications from case to case. The Court has been awful more often than not during the history of our country. Never before has it made dozens of District court judges look at their decisions and go "what the fuck are we supposed to do with this?"
  19. It might not even be by conscious decision, but it's pretty clear that the leadership of the Democratic party, and their connected web of consultants, pundits, donors, etc., selects for the most risk-averse people on the fucking planet. If even the idea of telling a donor no crosses your mind, you're not going to be a favored candidate to them.
  20. Odds that Ana is in the ER right now seeking ivermectin treatment for the erection he’s had for over four hours?
  21. I mean, the logical explanation is that humanity has always had guys like this, we've for whatever reason always had a real weakness for falling for and rewarding their bullshit, and early Christians wanted believers to steer clear either (1) for everyone's benefit, and/or (2) because they didn't want competition.
  22. FYI, Mina Kimes pretty much single-handedly led an exodus of all the best nfl writers to Blue Sky. A lot of them still post links to their stuff on Twitter (which is probably contractually required) but do most of their actual posting on Blue Sky. It’s not all sports, but it’s a start.
  23. Oh fuck me, Bozo has bought into Shadi Hamid thinking. He's in worse shape than I thought.
  24. Damn, you mean their little libertarian paradise experiment didn't even make it 24 months?
  25. You're not a special snowflake. You're a very obvious type of guy that every one of us knows literally thousands of.
