  1. "All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. His goddamned tweeting and lying... oh my god. I'm talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit. [...] It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel." ---- Trump's sister, Judge Maryann Trump Barry, on Donald. She added that he did not read books and had someone take the college entrance exam in his place.
  2. After the Super Bowl my friends were like "oh, shit ... now we have the long dark tea-time of our souls with no sports of consequence until September." I said "no so fast, my friends, I have the Tour de France, which takes up the month of July." Then I started trying to convince them how they should watch and how it's a great break in the summer doldrums. But, no. They're not going to watch skinny ladyboys in tight pants ride bicycles. One of them said "you know how I know you're gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that." Another said "I was thinking I'd just dig up the corpse of Margaret Thatcher and have sex with it. That seems like it would be a lot more fun."
  3. She's from Alabama, a state whose entire population has never drunk a cosmo.
  4. McNulty and Jorgenson at the top of Paris Nice? USA! USA! USA!
  5. The thread literally has Aggy in the title. Did you expect it to get smarter?
  6. I'm glad I'm a white male. Even if the worst happens, I should be okay. Oh, wait .. I'm also Catholic. Am I fucked?
  7. My man! That was quite a stage. No fooling around! If he doesn't win I'll blame the fact that they're changing tomorrow's course on account of the snow. 😃
  8. I would imagine any congressman capable of getting an erection would have been wanting to sit next to Boebert. I mean, politics is one thing but a happy ending is quite another.
  9. They should have had Kamala sit on a phone book to really emphasize how tiny and unmanly Mike Johnson is.
  10. They are completely obsessed with our backup QB, aren't they? Never change, Aggies!
  11. That's fine. If they show up, we've got a chance. Nobody is offering a better deal, all things factored in, than Texas. Smart players will realize that and jump. And if it drives the price up for other schools and forces them to draw down their reserves, that's fine, too. Things have more than evened out in our favor now that we have a bag game.
  12. Rumor was Kathryn Janeway could take a pounding after late-night "study sessions" at Starfleet Academy.
  13. "Trump, Covey said, “is really the gold standard in Southeast Texas.” Holy shit. A goddamn philandering elitist Ivy leaguer from New York City is the gold standard in southeast Texas. Yeah, but the turtle hates Trump.
  14. You think people dislike Musk now, wait till he gives a financial lifeline to Trump. Buying Trump for $600 million may fetch a better ROI than the $44 billion he spent on Twitter
  15. They are not sending out their best people.
  16. I keep thinking about this quote from "Slaughterhouse Five": “America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”
  17. He's got the strongest team and they are all in on working for him. He's in third place, four seconds back, after today.
  18. Reality: Obama signed this act in 2014. Trump has repeatedly taken credit for signing it.
  19. Paris-Nice starts tomorrow. Seven stages. I think Matteo Jorgenson stands a very good chance of winning.
