  1. You may be right. There was a rumor that the ethics charges against Gaetz will re-emerge and he will get booted with combined votes from Dems and moderate Republicans pissed off by this. That would be hugely satisfying.
  2. You may be joking, but that’s the risk. It may work out great for the Democrats, and I get the calls for the Democrats to be much more aggressive than they’ve been. I’ve been banging that drum for awhile now too. I guess what really bugs me is the headline that Gaetz was successful at anything. It pisses me off more than seeing McCarthy survive for now
  3. Six guys toppling the speaker of the house for the first time in over 100 years is absolutely more power. For now. The real question you are correctly asking is whether that translates into continued power going forward. It’s a fair question. I don’t happen to believe it’s a slam dunk that they can’t leverage this event into more.
  4. Ok I’ve thought about this a bit more as we watch the vote. I don’t think this makes sense. By aligning with the radical republicans in this vote, by definition they are giving them more future negotiating power within their own party. I’m starting to think this is a big mistake by the Democrats. I know they are mad at McCarthy for many big reasons, but they are creating bigger problems down the line.
  5. This thread is behind. There are already six no votes according to cnn. He’s done….but then he’s not. He will get removed and then re-elected in the next week.
  6. The environment is not quite that simple right now. While many of these funds have dropped substantially, there are still very real questions about whether we will see a wave of defaults, including Multifamily, over the next 12 to 36 months. Those defaults may eat into the present value of those properties, which are depressed due to interest rates.
  7. If Chip Roy becomes speaker I may spontaneously combust. That guy is one of the biggest morons in the country.
  8. Thats what I’m struggling with. If you look at what’s best for this country, there is no question that keeping MCarthy and helping him obliterate the maga would be in the best interest of the country overall. But, it may not be what’s best for Democrats in terms of winning elections in the future. Tough call.

    Yes, which makes it so weird.
  10. So the one thing I can’t reconcile regarding the Democrat strategy here is dealing with the MaGA goons. Shouldn’t the strategy be something that significantly weakens the maga team? I’m actually struggling to figure out the best path forward from their perspective.
  11. Congratulations. You just made the Mount Rushmore of stupid 2023 takes on Surly. Helobious is the other three heads.
  12. Aggie will end up ranked by the end of the season at 8-4 or 9-3.
  13. Greenspoint is a remarkable tool for improving my mental health. Whenever I read one of his posts I immediately feel more positive, knowing he yet again has taken a highly pessimistic view on something.
  14. This gif always annoyed me because it focuses on the wrong thing. Top left in the toga towel dress is where zoom is needed.
  15. Duke had that game. Just don’t rush three in 4th and 16!
  16. Yup. Incredibly stupid, and these coaches do it all the time. So so dumb.

    So, would like to reduce alcohol intake, but still have a chill evening. One half of the couple doesn’t seem to respond to an indica joint. Just doesn’t get high. New smoker. The other half of the couple gets a normal high. Delta 8 gummies produced an unpleasant spinning. What’s the right plan for an inexperienced smoker with what appears to be a very high tolerance?
  18. Is anyone else getting erect over this team? Anyone? I’m trying to think about baseball but it’s not working.
  19. The Texas Toast defense, because your offense is Toast. Not really. No nicknames please.
  20. Brent Venables thinks the posters on TexAgs are pretty smart people.
  21. This dude is the real deal. He looks faster than the 5 star Baxter. He’s not as big or punishing, but this dude rocks. He was a bit iffy on pass catching earlier in the season, but lately has shown good hands. Love this dude.
