  1. Enjoy the weekend, folks. Maybe go to the beach. Or read a book while laying on a hammock.
  2. I was just thinking about a flight my wife and I took to Los Angeles from Houston with our toddler in Spring 2019. We were one of the first groups seated. Shortly after, Ted fucking Cruz enters the plane and sits in the aisle seat right in front of us (we were in Economy Plus, fyi). He was by himself. Then I watched as hundreds of others got on the flight. A lot of them noticed Cruz, but didn't say anything and just went to their assigned seats. He spoke only to a single flight attendant to order multiple Diet Cokes. Not a single person wanted to engage with him, even in a pleasant way. He couldn't make that same flight today without being endlessly harassed. Including by me and my wife. If he's not criminally punished for his actions, I think it's completely fair for him to be publicly shamed for the rest of his life. Hawley too. There have to be consequences.
  3. I'm sure some Perry staffer wrote this for him, but still incredible to read.
  4. There it is. My guess is Trump officials ordered minimal protection at the Capitol because they wanted the photo op of Trumpkins rushing up close, angry and resolute. They knew the protestors would outnumber and overwhelm the Capitol Police. And then they were fine with whatever resulted, including Trumpkins forcing their way in to the building. Then they called for backup ONLY once it was clear Congress/staffers/Pence lives were in actual danger. They knew the risks. And were willing to gamble with people's lives, including Dem politicians and people from their own party. There needs to be massive investigation. And a lot of arrests.
  5. I'm sure it's been posted on this thread already, but it's hard not to believe that a skeleton crew was installed at The Capitol Building to allow the breach to happen. There better be a massive investigation.
  6. Definitely get the hummus an an appetizer (if you like a lot of garlic). For entrees, I'd say either get the Sultani (one skewer ground beef, one skewer filet) Jujeh (Cornish Hen), or lamb shank. With sour cherry or barberry rice.
  7. And we definitely know Blake wouldn't drop the ball with this massive opportunity.
  8. You're exactly right about Dore. That's why I'm mystified that his bullshit is gaining more traction. Probably doesn't help that Briahna Joy Gray and others engage with him.
  9. No stakes? Does progressive activism end after a presidential general election? I know you don't believe that, so that's kind of a weird reaction. These people (TYT, Seder, Dore, Briahna Joy Gray, etc.) are thought leaders for the very online young progressives, which is a significant chunk of the constituency. I wouldn't dismiss it as meaningless Twitter chatter. But yeah, Dore is going postal because 1. he wants to force a M4A vote and 2. is furious that some Congresspeople ended up voting for Pelosi as speaker. He's a clown and total shit-stirrer with an insufficient knowledge of American politics and how it works, but he's starting to get a lot of people agreeing with him and creating a larger footprint in the progressive space.
  10. Leftist Twitter is an absolute mess right now. Jimmy Dore had gained popularity and clout over the last couple of months, and he's gone after AOC and started calling them the #FraudSquad.
  11. I generally agree with this, but if you get a Weller Full Proof at retail and someone is willing to trade a bottle/bottles at a much higher value to obtain it, I don't see the problem.
  12. I haven't been following our program/recruiting as closely anymore, and I don't know any more about Sarkisian that the average fan. But here's a contrarian take about hiring him. I kinda like the fact that his career has had some serious bumps. He's always been highly regarded as a coach, but had average success at Washington and USC. Obviously he has some personal demons that affected his career and family as well. But it looks like he's got himself back together. Good for him. Herman had nothing but success at Ohio State and UH, and he "led" this program with an asshole know-it-all mentality. Maybe we need someone with a sense of humility and who has been through some ups and downs in life. I don't give a flying fuck what any other opposing program or fan thinks of this hire. I just want results.
  13. People were generally happy when we hired Charlie Strong. People were generally happy when we hired Tom Herman. Maybe the Sark hate means we finally made the right hire, lol.
  14. How did the Cornerstone Rye hold up against the KY Owl?
