Jones isn't going to hire a yes man. All he wants in life is a grandson that makes the NFL and a Superbowl. He will do anything to get there, and that means hiring the best coach money can buy
You're talking about the guy who fired Jimmy Johnson after he won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years, right?

Buttigieg’s Honesty Questioned After Contributions from Brett Kavanaugh’s Lawyers Revealed
QuoteSouth Bend, Indiana Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is under fire for attending a fundraiser hosted by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh‘s attorneys.
SpoilerSouth Bend, Indiana Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is under fire for attending a fundraiser hosted by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh‘s attorneys.
The attorneys in question, Alexandra Walsh and Beth Wilkinson, represented Kavanaugh as he faced numerous claims of sexual assault during his tumultuous confirmation hearings last October.
In late September 2018, Wilkinson took to CNN for damage control over Kavanaugh’s yearbook–in which he described himself as an “Alumnius” of Renate Dolphin née Schroeder.
CNN’s John Berman questioned whether Kavanaugh had, in fact, “always treated women with dignity” by citing the yearbook controversy and Dolphin’s horrified reaction to the conquest club named after her by Kavanaugh and his friends at Georgetown Prep.
Wilkinson defended Kavanaugh in the following way:
Again, you’re leaving out most of the facts. She says that they never had any interaction. He remembers going on one date with her and said that he gave her a kiss goodnight. She says she doesn’t even recall that happening. No one says, in including here, that there was any sexual conduct between her and any of these other boys. And, again, to suggest, that statement in the yearbook, as he said, he has a lot of respect for her and he regrets any way that statement hurt her feelings. But there’s nobody, including her, that says there was any inappropriate contact, conduct or disrespect for her.
“No, but again, his gets to his assertions over the past few days where he says he’s always treated women with dignity,” Berman pressed. “I don’t think that Renate Dolphin, as her name is now, thinks that’s being treated with dignity when she says, she calls the statements ‘horrible and hurtful.’ Again, this just gets to the picture that Judge Kavanaugh is painting for himself now.”
“Well, I think you’re trying to malign his character,” Wilkinson replied.
Walsh and Wilkinson co-authored a statement that cast Kavanaugh’s first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, as a liar.
“Judge Kavanaugh fully and honestly answered the Judiciary Committee’s questions over multiple days only to have unsubstantiated allegations come out when a vote on his confirmation was imminent,” the duo wrote. “What matters in situations like these are facts and evidence…testimony and evidence will confirm what Judge Kavanaugh has made clear all along—that he did not commit the sexual assault Dr. Blasey Ford describes.”
According to a Wednesday morning report by The Guardian, Wilkinson donated $2,800 to Buttigieg’s presidential campaign and Walsh donated $7,200–an excessive amount in violation of campaign contribution limits of which roughly half had already been returned.
Walsh also personally co-hosted a July fundraiser for the would-be Democratic Party standard bearer.
Buttigieg’s campaign said they would return the donations.
“With nearly 700,000 donors, a contribution we would otherwise refuse sometimes gets through,” a spokesperson told the London-based newspaper. “We believe the women who have courageously spoken out about Brett Kavanaugh’s assault and misconduct, and we thank the Guardian for bringing this contribution to our attention.”
But the South Bend mayor’s plausible deniability excuse is being viewed with extreme skepticism, dismissal and scorn.
Vermont Law School Professor Jennifer Taub doubted the sincerity of Buttigieg’s response–noting his campaign only moved to distance itself from Kavanaugh’s attorneys after being caught red-handed.
“Pete Buttigieg attended a fundraiser hosted by Brett Kavanaugh‘s lawyer(s) this summer, but now only when questioned by journalists he claims he was not aware of their role, ‘overlooked’ it and is returning the lawyers’ money,” she wrote via Twitter. “Just to be clear, he can’t have it both ways. Some people might defend taking these contributions, OK. Then stand by that. But now he is saying he had no idea and does not want them. So really it’s also about the phoniness. We don’t need another liar in the White House.”
Taub later responded to a critic of her criticism by further slamming Buttigieg’s judgment and his campaign’s volte-face on the donations.
“Seriously?” asked one Twitter user. “We have an outright liar in the [White House] right now and you are going to discount a candidate because they didn’t know where some money came from and when they found out they returned the money? This is what you use to rule out a candidate?”
To which the law professor replied:
He attended the fundraiser. He knows exactly who these people are. He has almost no track record in government service. He talks big, but produces little. So yes, I’m not trusting another confidence man.
“She co-hosted a fundraiser and they claim they didn’t know her role?” asked progressive commentator and consultant Jodi Jacobson in a series of tweets. “Are we supposed to believe that this campaign did not know who the sponsors were of a major fundraiser in DC? Either they are lying or they are very stupid.”
This isn’t the first donation from a lawyer that has called the small town mayor’s judgment into question.
“So Buttigieg’s campaign initially took money from the lawyer who tried to bury the tape of Laquan McDonald’s murder, and now, an attorney affiliated with Kavanaugh?” tweeted author Michael Arceneaux. “Returned funds or not, why would these types feel comfortable with that candidate?”
This wasn’t the only Buttigieg-related controversy of the past few days.

Let’s also remember that the 35 y. Old presidential cut off was put into place when the average life expectancy was ..... ~36 years old.
So in a sense, have 76 year olds as presidents is what the founders desired?
This is a red herring argument.
The actual life expectancy of people who made it out of childhood wasn't much different than it is today. The reason the "average" life expectancy was so low was because of the high levels of infant mortality.

They're out there. My best friend's mom was a hippie her whole life and is now a full blown Trumper at age 60.
Likewise. My mom went to Woodstock...with photos to prove it...and voted for Trump. I'm not sure of her current stance because we don't talk about it, but I know she watches Fox all day, so I'm pretty sure which way the wind blows in that house.

The age restriction is dumb. I even think the 35 year old limit is silly. If a candidate isn’t fit for the office the voters should have the opportunity to make that assessment instead of some arbitrary line of demarcation.
Democracy can work sometimes.
You know who the President is, right?
I'm thinking the people aren't smart enough to make that determination. Might be better to help them out a bit.

Given the verifiable fact women on average live 6 to 8 years longer than men, any max age requirement should not apply equally to women.
Who cares if women live longer than men on average? It's about declining mental faculties and passing the torch to the next generation.
I'm all for Warren or Bernie, but I'd be lying if I said their age wasn't a concern.

So is Trump going to say someone sent him the wrong picture of Conan?
I mean, you don't have to be an aggie to see that dog in the picture has a vagina, which is rare for a male dog.

Tom doing staff changes? Time for South Austin Mom to update her resume.
My only qualifications are playing HS ball, and coaching my intramural team to the grad school championship in '99, but based on what I've seen so far, I think I'd be an upgrade over half of the current staff.

If we get destroyed at home by Tech does that mean Herman is gone? If so, perhaps I'll start rooting for them.
