  1. It actually sounds like he is trying to tell you what you want to hear and isn't doing a great job of it. The tone feels like an afectation, like one of trying to sound agrieved and attacked, as his defense. Have you listened to the PSA podcast interview? I listened to about 20 mins of it.
  2. Man, this guy is not media trained at all. He sounds like when you interview a guy for a job who isn't a great fit but they really want the job and it's just very hard to sit through (Pod Save America interview).
  3. Listening to the Pod Save America video, I think it's kinda funny that he is owning, if not doubling down, on the problematic reddit stuff, especially about "HeY GuYs WhY dOnT bLaCk pEoPle TiP, iS iT CuLtUrAl?" His defense of, "hey, I was just asking questions because I didn't grow up around black people and was genuinely curious" feels like a miss.
  4. Thought this was funny:
  5. $200mm in aid gone. Poof, like a far in the wind: https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-says-u-s-is-cutting-aid-to-colombia-over-drugs-9e22e64b
  6. 17. Missing JAX, Indy and surprisingly Philly.
  7. I had Sammy's downtown Dallas late last week for the first time in probably 10 years. Wow. It's so bad. Maybe I should have posted in the "how is this place still in business" thread. And that I would guess is a primo real estate location.
  8. I know almost next to nothing about Joey except that somehow, out of 7 fully grown men and some living legends, as a baby rapper he had the best verse on 1 train. That got my attention but then it obviously faded. I'm an old man with little free time.

    2025 Christmas

    Folks is broke in 2025. Telling my people, give me a list of 1 or 2 items you want max. I'm capping a dollar limit per person. Middle class be middle classin' outchea.
  10. Ouroboros? More like AI-and-CryptoBoroBROS
  11. Counterpoint: Voting positive on vaguely worded things got us more-or-less legalized marijuana (via hemp) over the counter.
  12. That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
  13. Big "Nothing Easy, Game 7!!!111" vibes. The Hawks ended up losing that one too.
  14. While I agree with you generally, you kinda skipped the Jimbo/Jameis Winston years and a national championship win in there.
  15. Some of you are going to be sorely disappointed one day when we are in the same room at the same time. Heck, throw in GRUhon and there wil be 3 of us!
  16. Not with these premiums I'm having to pay now!
  17. Politically, It's like the parable of Solomon's baby. We aren't willing to kill the baby but the R's are willing to kill a baby.
  18. Thanks for this. It's like the old "the winning move is to not play at all", which I guess makes sense. I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you have to think AT SOME POINT in a shut down there will be pain from not having a government installed and working. And when that comes, it's 100% on the R's. That's the plan. I like it, if it works out that way.
  19. Okay Bolverk, then let's scrap that political gambit. In your mind, genuinely curious, let's pretend you are the leader here-- how do you get us out of this shutdown? What has to happen in you opinion? Or maybe you don't have one and that's okay too as there doesn't seem, as of today, to be any good (and realistic, politically speaking) options (which was the impetus of my OP today).
  20. Agree with you on all except 11 and 13 which are a yes.
  21. Okay I'll bite. Who is this Donkey Cigar character and why do you think we are related?
  22. That's right and I'm being told that universal healthcare is essentially too sacred of a cow in politics and can't be used to counterpunch the R's with because, and this is true, some of the D voters will be hurt in the fall out (the vast majority would be their own base, again). So we are waiting on a utopian ideal solution it seems to get the government back up and running. What does that look like now that we've essentially boiled the shut down to an ACA issue?
