  1. I know the infielder who got his fingernail ripped off yesterday might play because they glued it back on. big fun
  2. this, plus Trump saying he may not decide for another three or four weeks how the tariffs will work for most countries should bring an interesting start of the week next week.
  3. Low revenue generation? That sounds like we need some tax cuts, the evisceration of the IRS, and greater unemployment that prevents tax collection. We need to raise taxes and look at waste and unnecessary programs and a thoughtful non-political manner. IOW, we are fucked. We should also take a fucking cleaver to Department of defense spending. We don’t need billion dollar aircraft carriers, we need fast ships with multiple levels for large quantity drone deployment.
  4. Armybrat, probably.
  5. Alito and Thomas dissent? No way gif
  6. So many possible Surly presidential candidates. I hereby throw my hat in the ring.
  7. Honestly, the problem is far less the Democratic parties fault, although of course, they bear some fault, then it is the destruction of news that pretends to be objective. Having spent at least seven decades on this planet, it is my opinion that we have essentially the same amount of uneducated gullible mooks as we ever did. What we did not have are supposed news outlets like Fox News spreading completely false news to injure one political party while completely ignoring the broadcast of news problematic for their preferred political party. And while I get that people will depend on Facebook and their friends and family for some information, it was Rush and the GOP who convinced a large part of the country that there is absolutely no true fact to be gleaned by reading the Washington Post or New York Times or any newspaper that is not MAGA supportive. I grew up watching the news in the 60s and the objective facts in the ABC NBC and CBS nightly shows did not vary that much in content. They more or less gave straight news reporting and then people argued about what the facts meant. There were no such things as alternative facts. THAT situation is the most damaging. Once you convince a large portion of America that they are a disloyal non-patriot if they receive news from anywhere but the Dear Leader’s source, there is nothing a democrat can say on a stump speech or commercial that will penetrate through that thick steel curtain of stupidity. When people talk about the better talking points that Democrats could make, they gloss over the fact that a third of the country will never see that point - or if the commercial starts to come on - they will turn the channel or start talking transgender operations during the rest of it. Advocating for better messaging is obviously a great thing, but it seems to ignore that one side has made it a religion not to listen to or believe that messaging, be it better or not. That in my opinion is the bigger problem. A third of the country totally embraces self-induced voluntary ignorance of the other side’s alleged facts. Until that changes, there is very little that the Democrats can do except wait for the GOP to run the country so far in the ground that they look for an alternative.
  8. Putin better hope that Ramzan Kadyrov stays alive a few more years. The second he croaks the other tribal leaders aren’t going to follow his punk sons. That’s a whole lot of vengeance to be taken, and I’m sure there is at least some support for Russia-Chechnya Boogaloo III - at least since Russia cannot spare troops or tanks for another war and is down to golf carts and Norks. Prigozhin and Wagner‘s march on Moscow should keep people up at night if Chechnya wakes up in an independent mood.
  9. Yeah, Sully to Aggy would only be a thing if he has a bunch of hidden financial problems and he can go rape Aggy’s $$ before he retires. And certainly, all decent coaches are itching to go to a place that fires you after one year. It’s every coach’s dream.
  10. Wait - did anyone tell them that he’s in danger of being executed in Texas?
  11. We were very Missouri like when we started the SEC season 1- 11 We’ve gone 13-2 in the last five SEC series. We also took two of three from FSU, who lives to beat us (in an Aggy-esque way.) it felt good to come back from 5-0 after losing our catcher for the year. Beating Bama is always enjoyable. I was really proud last year that Florida went from one game above .500 to the quarterfinals of Omaha. With all our serious injuries and our 1-11 start, I think I’m even prouder of these guys. If they are 0-2 and barbecue at their tournament that’s fine. Those young men are giving it their all.
  12. It’s like I was drinking. They knocked our starting catcher out for the season and fractured his wrist. One of our best batters and our goddamn field general and pitcher whisperer. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
  13. corn dogs haz a sad.
  14. that is a good looking haircut. The smaller bowl was a good choice.
  15. Gata just ended. I just started watching. You are welcome that my saurian Mojo is all in on Texas. fuck these fucks
  16. Jesus. bama knocks our starting pitcher out of the game. Hit batter on his wrist. We have another guy out injured on a fielding injury. Right when we were getting better. we just popped the third Bama batter out after fanning the first two to beat the tide 7-6. so I got that working for me, which is nice.
  17. Jesus people, can we get back on track here? I still crack up about the line - working hard in the library with her big brain studying poli-sci.
  18. Clarence it’s probably already working on overturning that one.
  19. Whizzer. I assume that is a golden shower reference..
  20. There is apparently a bit of a dispute about whether the Texas coral is the same species, but generally the Florida coral snake or eastern coral snake has a range that stops at the Mississippi river, and everything west of there would be the Texas Coral snake. i’ve heard that the eastern coral snakes are slightly smaller. Which makes that 36 inch snek all the more impressive
