  1. let’s say he’s dead. how long until we would actually know? a week? a month? my (realistic) hope is that he’s in real rough shape but rumors start and people start asking why he’s not even playing in his club’s own labor day tourney, and they’re ‘forced’ to roll him out there. to the pain.
  2. trump can deal with a lot of adversity, but negative press about something and someone most people, myself included, have never heard of? big, if true, is all i will say about that.
  3. if ca and ny stopped sending money, alabama and mississippi would fucking starve. but i'm sure in those extreme scenarios, trump would have fema go help out within a day or two.
  4. fuck bay county. i would never go back there, even if i was legally allowed to do so, which is murky at this point.
  5. if s1 doesn't work for you, then you should just stop watching tv.
  6. come on, people. would a guy on steroids do something this normal?
  7. just because he "took" dc what makes him think he can do that with a regular sized city, let alone a big city. dc is about 65 sq miles. nyc is 450 sq miles. la county is 4000 sq miles. they'll get their photo op and trump can talk about being a war hero while his ankles continue to swell. and yes, while jd vance's handlers might be more dangerous, a large chunk of maga doesn't give a shit about anyone but trump, and things will change when he dies.
  8. i like that in the 2nd pic they had to zoom in. because of how small his hands are. smell like cabbage.
  9. i either read or heard somewhere that when you "hear" about "investigations", that they're generally bullshit, window dressing, click-bait, whatever you want to call it, to feed the base. real investigations happen in the shadows and in secret and you don't hear about them until indictment time (i'm sure @TwiceHorn or some other lawdog can confirm or disconfirm that). i don't know if it will go away per se, i just think there's only so much they can do and they seem to move onto the next shiny object within minutes. flood the zone, don't let the press or the public focus on anything specifically for too long. it's bannon's playbook and they've been running it for a decade.
  10. they're not going to arrest anyone, including bolton. they got the headline they wanted, now it's on to the next thing. trump likes simple announcements and his base likes to read bold-type headlines. this whole thing is not a coincidence.
  11. this just in - he doesn’t like doing stuff. he likes announcing stuff.
  12. the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. the 2nd best time is today.
  13. you're saying two different things here, and i believe only one of them is true. their polling is in the toilet, but mostly because people in general are upset about how they're handling (or not handling) trump's bullshit. as for voters, i feel like since 2018, every little local/state-level/off-year election (or clear dem issue) overperforms the majority of the time. who the fuck knows what happened in 2024, but the momentum really seemed to be on our side, and now people are (understandably) pissed. as for the next candidate, part of me says fuck it, let newsom cook, and the other part says to grab beshear or somebody who looks/feels like he can win. elections in this country are fucked up but we have to play by the same rules as everybody else, even if we don't like it.
  14. it’s consistently bananas to me that anyone anywhere finds trump “cool”.
  15. the most elaborate troll job in the history of time.
  16. the minute a dem is back in there they need to take it down to the studs. burn it like the british if you need to. then take pictures and send them to all his shitty golf clubs.
  17. a real m. night twist i did not see coming. now if you'll excuse me, i need to get back to my late-term abortion obsession.
  18. so @Fawesome are we good on the sched down the stretch and going into the playoffs? i know there have been some issues in the past. after the week that ends today, are there 1 or 2 more regular season weeks? by my math, we're going to need to have 1 more regular season week (18-24th) assuming that we have 1 wildcard week (25th-31st) and then two 2-week playoff weeks (semifinals + finals) and go all the way to the last day of the season (9/28). if we have 2 more regular season weeks, then both the wildcard week and semifinals week can only be 1 week long. i don't remember how we've done it in the past, but let's not fuck it up. also, ftr, i am against using the very last week of the regular season for obvious reasons, but i understand there aren't a lot of good options here. if i was planning it, i would prob have 2 more regular season weeks, then have 3 weeks of playoffs each lasting 1 week, and ending on the 21st. maybe that's something we can look into for future years. no idea where everybody else stands on that.
  19. candy had the unique ability to carry a movie (uncle buck), contribute evenly to a two-hander (planes, trains), or be scene-stealing comic relief (splash). "freddy, i don't wanna get drunk." "but, you are drunk. a sober person would've reached for the pretzels."
  20. next you're gonna tell me that new york is really the 5th character in sex & the city.
  21. calling this "the paper" makes me less optimistic that the ron howard/michael keaton brilliance from the 90's will ever take television form.
