  1. My question is why can't the so called RINOs he is attacking like Collins and McConnell just give ground a bit and join in to pass some of this stuff the Dems are doing. I mean actually work towards bipartisanship and just politically kill off the Trump movement? Seems a move like that would send them into some death spiral and they'd increasingly show their ass enough that no one in their right mind would support them after a bit. Yeah, the Red team loses some ground. But they've got the SC sewed up for a while. Cut their losses, kill off the Trump wing and move on with a new strategy. But I get it, they have been quietly pushed towards this by the elite, the dominionists and white supremacists. So too late to give ground and retrench, apparently.
  2. I was thinking he was looking at her and wistfully remembering all the strange he'd had over his acting career.
  3. The significance of Gonzales Co is they represent the backbone of the Trump movement, the small rural vote that creeps up into the suburbs. Team Red is making a strong play to lock those counties down. Always the same outfit. You couldn't even fill out a bingo card with potential trump outfits. Blue suit, black suit, red tie, blue tie. White polo, blue windbreaker. He was speaking to his people that he loved, not the handful of Antifa and BLM that had infiltrated this group of solid, peaceful patriots and incited them to insurrection. Trump isn't running again. He's out here for two reasons: a) raise money for his legal defenses and b) try to make it seem that if any of those cases result in him being charged, he could hold the government hostage by the threat of all his Trumpkins rising up in armed protest, protesting a great man like Trump being vilified for political purposes. In other word, it's defense move two to protect his empire and above all, reputation.
  4. I've enjoyed this for the most part. But the one thing this (and most) western serials do is make me truly appreciate Lonesome Dove. Every time I see Thomas, I think Deets. I was just hoping the series would be a bit more factual and realistic. That whole chase/fight thing with the bandits was neverending. There were 6 to start with and they took one out before the thing ever started. Some of those guys must have been zombies, because it sure seems they got killed more than once. Sometimes it seemed there were 20 horses and riders and there were only maybe 10 total should have been there. It could be worse, it could be on the disappointment level of that garbage Lone Star with Quaid, or True Women (where they fought San Jacinto at night).
  5. Not sure how long it's been back, but The Detectorists is back, Season 3.
  6. I'm glad that my happiness in this world isn't influenced by my right to own guns that can take other lives. Unfortunately much of the sadness I have in this world is due to many people who do value gun ownership over basic human rights of others.
  7. Burning books isn't enough. You have to cut through all the media, hence CRT bans everywhere.
  8. And now we have Lowell Galindo. FML. Having grown up with Wally Pryor on the PA and Ron Franklin doing play by play, add in Cosell, Meredith and Gifford, and then Madden coming along, it really makes me wonder where it went off the tracks. Those guys were awesome, made the games more personal, and now all we have is garble, garble dumb crap. Sigh. Has the game changed? The fans? Or the networks follow too much of a profile and we have to just accept them? We'll miss you Mr Franklin. Thanks for the memories.
  9. You are right about the Bright part, thinking back. But I still contend Jones treated Landry shabbily, maybe by design, maybe not. It wasn't all Bright. It could have been handled significantly better.
  10. It wasn't the firing of Landry, but how it was handled. A lot of fans had grown accustomed to the class of Landry, and Jones was the polar opposite. Those first SBs happened because he listened to JJ and didn't interfere. And the Walker trade was big. If there was ever a cake to be baked it was the team Switzer stepped into. Like Pescado and Kimball said, it's always been about Jones' ego.
  11. Way was talking about Beard being denied the timeout after the made shot. Would have negated the foul and long shot, most likely.
  12. But you can rest assured that fucked up cup of coffee will mean some money in his pocket.
  13. https://texassports.com/sports/2014/11/19/GEN_1119144623.aspx here's the craig way call. Yeah you are right, I guess I never thought of that
  14. How many of these games are going to be on ESPN+ instead of LHN? Going to be the same for baseball too? I don't see anyplace that lists where all the future games will be broadcast.
  15. That's not stopping #teamred. What kind of record do Huffines or West have? Patrick and Abbott both cut their teeth in lower offices at least. But you are right about the Dems not having much bench. Part of that is they don't get much media coverage here when they are in office, bad or good, with Lina Hidalgo being the exception. Nobody outside El Paso knew who Beto was as a congressman until he ran for senate. I would wager that Crenshaw and Gohmert have much more recognition, and all they have done is serve the same state in the same capacity. Difference is Beto was actually there to represent his constituents, and the other two are there to represent themselves. Hence they say and do so much stupid stuff, intentional or not, to get noticed.
  16. 12 Mighty Orphans. On Amazon Prime. Story of Coach Rusty Russell and his fielding the first football team at the Masonic Home for Orphans in Ft Worth in 1938. It won't win many awards, but it's got a good cast and is well done. Definitely worth the time.
  17. Would be interesting to see a study on this over the past century. Where the money comes from, where it goes. How that has changed over time. If a large blueblood school were to drop football, who would get hurt most? The surrounding community (hotels, restaurants, etc)? The school itself from decreased income and donations?
  18. No, I know it is separate. Just seems somehow out of balance when a school like A&M can carry over debt to the academic side year after year, but then have no issue finding all this NIL donor money. If the money for NIL was there, then it should have been available instead of digging into the academic coffers. Or at least paid back those old debts first. I can't fully explain it, but it just doesn't sit right somehow.
  19. Seems that if an athletic program is not operating in the black, and is partially supported by the academic side, then they shouldn't be using money for NIL for individual players. Seems pretty unfair to the actual students who go without so the athletic dept can have more.
  20. This is a great piece and worth the read. Thanks for posting it.
  21. Might be interesting to reduce conference size to 8 each. Play a round robin with 2 OOC games. No conference championship games. One a patsy and the other a cross conference test. Winner of each conference moves into a playoff system, either 32 or 16. 32 would mean a upper limit of 15 games. That would break up the juggernaut of the SEC. However it might then build conferences that have one heavyweight (say LSU or Bama) and 7 coat-tailers (A&M). Not sure how the parity works out there. But as long as the SEC can keep sending more than one team to the playoffs, they'll be stockpiling the talent. Use bowls as part of the playoffs and maybe have traditional matches, like the Rose Bowl used to hold. All teams, regardless of final record get to continue practices through the end of the season if they wish. That should be the rule now. Playing in some crappy bowl with a 6-6 record shouldn't give you an advantage in practice.
  22. What percentage of Southerners owned fewer than 10 slaves quizlet? (from google) one-quarter of all white families in the south owned slaves nearly half owned fewer than five slaves and nearly three-quarters had fewer than ten slaves. only 12 percent owned twenty or more slaves, and only 1 percent had a hundred or more. So many people still fighting for that 1%. Still fighting that civil war and wanting to reignite it. It's always been about a very few getting grotesquely wealthy off the backs of whoever they can subjugate. And no matter how much they change the way they do it, they have always fired up the dumbasses who will fight for those rich fucks rights to rape our country and whoever they want. 'Murica!
  23. Dominionism is Q with God's seal of approval.
