  1. These cnn exit poll questions are stupid and worthless. No conclusions can be drawn from these questions.
  2. Yup, and every county comparison cnn did to 2020 in several states showed better Trump performance. I’m very very concerned.
  3. I’ve spent a lifetime hating the city of Philadelphia ever since they cheered Michael Irvin’s injury. If they carry Pennsylvania, then between that and Jerry Jones being a shit stain, I’m going to give Philly a pass this year to abuse the Cowboy’s rotting carcass.
  4. I'm on a group text thread of those of us from the "whole group" who are sensible, intelligent people. A few weeks ago, we did an experiment. We asked each person how many out of 10 Republican friends they thought would flip from 2020 and vote Harris over Trump. Our group includes independents, Republicans, and Democrats. We concluded as a group that we all knew approximately 10% of our Republican friends that are "definitely" flipping. Now, that could end up being 8% or 5% or 12%, but if it's anything over 5%, I also can't see Trump winning. That, plus JS, has kept me off the ledge for the last few weeks.
  5. I think what is so disappointing about last night, is that except for Johnson, the team looks just like the team last year. All of the same things wrong from last year show this year too. It's coaching if all the players change and the results looks similar.
  6. After having evaluated cord cutting for years, finally ready to pull the trigger, I think. We are huge sports content fans, and the environment now favors cutting. Would be interested to hear from anyone about whether I have the facts right on sports programming for the Austin Texas area: 1. San Antonio Spurs - I get some games on U-Verse, but not always. I think we can subscribe to FanDuel Sports Network (ex-Ballys) if we want to watch the Spurs? There appear to be no other options? 2. Dallas Mavericks - I don't get hardly any games on U-Verse. This was one of the reasons we are thinking of dropping. I believe we can buy the NBA package for them? I don't think we get access to the Mavericks on Fan Duel Sports Network, only Spurs??? 3. Dallas Stars - Victory+ works great, except channel flipping is not possible. That's okay. This was a major reason for considering cutting. We are huge Stars fans. 4. Astros - I used to get all games on U-Verse. This was probably the top reason we had kept U-Verse. I'm not clear if we can see them next year without U-Verse. Anyone know what is planned next year? 5. Rangers - I used to get some games on U-Verse. I'm not clear how I will be able to watch them next year. Anyone know? Bottom line is that I can cut and still have access to Spurs, maybe Mavs, Stars, with open questions for Astros and Rangers. That's good enough.
  7. Just remember who assembled this team, with a lot of NIL available. Compare player movement on the floor with teams like Kansas and Gonzaga. It’s just completely different. We don’t have the coach, and we need to just let this season and next happen because it’s going to be a rough two years. The elite 8 run was a leftover of Beard coaching early in the year and previously, combined with a very good team with great chemistry and hustle.
  8. I got tired of the unattractive play mid way thru the second half and went to bed. Johnson was a huge bright spot, and you can see some talent on the floor, but it just seems like these Terry teams miss some fundamentals. He just lets them play, which I think bodes well for late in games, but without the fundamentals to go with it they just don’t execute very well on offense or defense. You could always see the fundamentals on the floor with Beard teams.
  9. Time travel inconsistencies used to drive me insane. I was able to reconcile it all by saying there are parallel universes that intersect. I can now sleep at night.
  10. Johnson appears to be the real deal.
  11. Just same ol’ same ol’. They look just like last year’s team. Same iffy defense, poor defense of the 3, no flow in offense, bad 3 pt shooting, weak switching on D, failure to cut off the lane, etc.
  12. Fire Rodney Terry? Jk
  13. This thread has me in a glass case of emotion.
  14. Ive become convinced that several hundred attendees to his events, particularly those behind him, are paid to be there. I just can’t figure out how they’ve done it without it getting out that so many are paid.
  15. There is no bigger pro Harris data point on the planet than Helobious saying Trump will win.
  16. Our conversation every time (rarely) we go to a Chili’s: Me - ”ugh, I don’t want to go there.” Her - ”I don’t either. Where else can we go?” Me and Her - ”_______? No _______? Nah ______? Too far. _____? Too _____. Let’s just go to Chili’s” [Eat at Chili’s] Her - ”Well, that was tolerable “ Me - ”Yup I don’t need to vomit.” Both - “ Success!” Every time.
  17. Chili’s, for twice as long.
  18. I just made a reservation at Chili’s for 372 people.
  19. Whew.

    The AT&T channel guide for paramount channel 1145 shows reruns at that time. That’s why I’m confused. Interestingly, CBS at 9 pm shows the new season.
  21. Yes I see this third group. A lot. Disinformation has warped their brains. They somehow can’t process all of this data because disinformation has made it impossible for them to see it. Just like a cult.
  22. some, not all. You assumed I was talking about all.
  23. Where did I say that every Trump supporter has no integrity or morals? Hint. I didn't.
  24. Trump and Elon have crystalized for me that there are way more gullible, unintelligent people in the U.S. than I ever realized. They obviously figured this out a long time ago and have used it to their advantage to reap extraordinary financial and other rewards. They also helped me realize the number of people in the U.S. with little to no integrity or morals is far higher than I ever realized. As a military brat you grow up with the military code and you tend to believe it, and believe that everyone else lives that way too. The real world is obviously very different from that idyllic model, but Trump and Musk exposed a huge population of shitty people.
