  1. I believe that he’s strenuously objecting
  2. Now when the bonfire collapses in a pile, it can just stay there as a permanent monument for 100 years. Advantage Aggy.
  3. 100%. Focus and mental discipline are the key. In the 90s, the Florida women’s tennis program was destroyer of worlds.. Spurrier required the football team to go to the women’s tennis matches and support them and observe so they could, as the old ball coach put it, “learn what metal focus and toughness is all about You don’t have it yet, they do…”
  4. “But if this means less money to the Negroes hurt by the storm, this is all worth it!” - MAGA, probably
  5. Gata got behind 9 to 2 and scored four in the 9th in a losing effort, but I was happy to see them score four runs in the ninth just the same. I like our Galaxy Quest mindset: never give up, never surrender! Mental attitude is key in the tournament, and I like how we shrugged off yet another seemingly devastating injury - at least not folding when way behind and having the ability to keep on fighting.
  6. Sweden, my peeps, have the greatest per capita citizen investment in their economy than any country in the world. In fact, in Sweden, they take about 2% of your earnings and mandatory put it in an account that gives you an option of many Swedish companies, like a 401(k) choice. I think they tax you like one percent on those accounts. The goal is to make every citizen interactive with the economy and the businesses of their economy and to pay attention to economics. Also, to reward you for participating in investing in your country, tax benefits that assure you a bunch of money on retirement so you won’t need to draw a state pension for the bulk of your retirement They’re the happiest people in the world according to surveys, and this is the country that’s a socialist shit hole according to MAGA. Because setting up fantastic government programs to take care of citizens needs is a negative. we must earn more money than anyone else and make sure they don’t have any so we have more.
  7. 1970 called. it approves of your homophobia.
  8. The wheels on the bus fall off off off bama 7-2
  9. 2-0 Gata top of third. I feel bad about blowing a red shirt year of a player this late in the season, but damn did we need a catcher furk. 2-2
  10. I know the infielder who got his fingernail ripped off yesterday might play because they glued it back on. big fun
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Armybrat, probably.
  14. Alito and Thomas dissent? No way gif
  15. So many possible Surly presidential candidates. I hereby throw my hat in the ring.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Wait - did anyone tell them that he’s in danger of being executed in Texas?
  20. 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.
