    my two newly registered 18 year olds were on Team Walz for the last 3 weeks or so.

    Now the hard part, getting one of them an absentee ballot for November as he is going to college out of state.

    That's easy enough.  As soon as they know their mailing address, have them fill out one of these applications and send it to your County Election Administrator/Clerk.  Link for Texas VBM application.  The sooner you get it in, the better.  Suggestion to follow it up with a call to EA to insure it arrived and was properly logged.    AND it's something you have to do every year, not just once.  Goes for anyone expected to be out of their voting county during early voting and ED.

  2. Probably the biggest reason you aren't seeing more Harris signs is everyone is holding off until the VP announcement to get both candidates on the signs.   I would expect to see more hitting the streets in about 2 weeks.

    I've watched about 80 hours of the Olympics so far and have yet to see a Trump ad. Harris has an ad every 45 minutes/1 hour. That is pretty interesting.

    I think Trump fully believes that no matter how the election goes, he's got the system in place to overthrow it.  He's saving his campaign dollars for lawyers and insurrection organizers instead of actually trying to win the election.

    Yep, they should be named and shamed for this kind of behavior. I don't understand how they even have money to pull this bullshit to begin with.

    I would guess they are at least getting partially funded (if not fully) to just keep shit stirred up.  Folks like Tim Dunn wouldn't break a sweat putting 20-30 agitators on a payroll somewhere.  IRS should audit a few to find out.

    I thought Quinn/Texas earned the cover spot this year given what they've accomplished, but the ghost of Dave Campbell and their editors decided to give aggy/Weigman half the cover. I guess they didn't want to do anything to deter aggy fans from purchasing the mag despite the fact aggy had the full cover in 2021 and Texas last had the full cover in 2017 with the infamous Mensa Tom Herman cover.

     

     

     

    Seems like for a few years they published the same magazine but with different covers, dependent on where they were being distributed.  But eventually they succumbed to splitting the cover like this.  Probably had to do it when sales started dropping.

    cops. : he’s good and loves the 2nd A !!!!!

    Yeah, I was thinking this too.  He was white and they probably thought he was there as some sort of militia to protect Trump if things went sideways.  If he would have been anything but white, he'd been dropped long before he got up on that roof.

    Yeah, seems wildly easy to bump off any political figure you want if this is how bad the SS is at protecting one of the top 2 politicians in the country.  And that's not even taking into account new technologies.  

    After watching video after video of Russians getting blown to smithereens with drones in Ukraine, it would be pathetically easy it would be to fly one into an event like this.  Doesn't matter if your target turns their head at the last second when you're hitting them with high explosive at a fast rate of speed.  You'd also not be setting yourself up to get domed by counter sniper fire, either.  Just fly it in while you're multiple miles away in a room somewhere.  

    I would think SS would have some sort of portable radar for drone spotting.

    So if a sniper is spotted at Biden's inauguration, they all just watch him until he starts shooting? 

    Maybe they would remove the target until they ascertained if the threat was truly a threat.  That makes the most sense, policy wise.

    Texans are leaving the state due to:

    1. Scorching Summers and Extreme Heat

    2. Property Taxes

    3. Political Climate

    4. Lack of Gun Control

    5. Abortion Restrictions

    6. Lack of Diversity

    7. Education System

    8. Natural Disasters

    9. Property Insurance Woes

    10. Traffic Congestion

    11. Job Market Saturation

    12. Water Scarcity and Drought Concerns

    13. Environmental Concerns and Pollution

    14. Social Issues and Inequality

    (I'd probably shoe in Healthcare somewhere too)

    Race to be a third world country is in full gallop now.

    Boomers are leaving America to retire abroad in droves because the U.S. is just too expensive

    My son said that sounded right.  Boomers kept voting for the assholes who fucked up this country, then just leave it because it's too fucked up.  Fortunately for them they have enough wealth to make such a move.

  8. If P 2025 isn't loony enough for you, take a look at Agenda 47, it's Trump counterpart:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_47

    Quote

    The plans include constructing "freedom cities" on empty federal land, investing in flying car manufacturing, introducing baby bonuses to encourage a baby boom, implementing protectionist trade policies, and over forty others. Seventeen of the policies that Trump says he will implement if elected would require congressional approval. Some of his plans are legally controversial, such as ending birthright citizenship, and may require amending the Constitution.[9][3]

    Many of the proposals are contentious. One Agenda 47 proposal would impose the death penalty on drug dealers and human traffickers, as well as place Mexican cartels on the United States list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Trump also suggests deploying the National Guard to inner cities with high crime.[10]

    C.Jay Engel in that tweet is actually serious. that's not a sarcastic quote. his twitter account is shocking.

    The more I watch these guys the more they remind me of the Germanic youth who made up the brownshirts.

    I'm just curious how not a single one of the articles regarding Project 2025 ever mentions that Trump already implemented a big foundation of it, with his 2020 Schedule F executive order. Which Biden had to undo.

    Think maybe that'd help the public evaluate whether he's lying about his agenda and his unfamiliarity with Project 2025?? 

    John Oliver did a good piece on this, but then it's longer than 2 minutes, so 'too long, won't watch'   On the other hand my young collegiate says his IG and TikTok is blowing up over 2025 and kids are pissed.

  9. Really enjoyed this.  But then I get into period pieces, finding it a decent way to learn a little about historic eras.    And the delivery angle of the story was unique.    A win on lots of levels.

  10. I quietly am optimistic about November.  The number of Trump endorsees that are losing does not gibe with his supposed popularity.   This isn't being pointed out enough.

    In Utah, Republican Rep. John Curtis — who has been critical of Trump — beat out Trump's chosen candidate Trent Staggs to take over Mitt Romney's open Senate seat. Staggs lost to Curtis by 20 points, according to projected race calls from the Associated Press, compiled by The New York Times.
    In South Carolina, a similar situation occurred: ultra-conservative pastor Mark Burns, who Trump endorsed on Truth Social in April, lost his House runoff race to Republican Sherri Biggs.

    And in Colorado, House hopeful and state GOP Chair Dave Williams, who the former president endorsed on Truth Social in March, got smoked by his rival, conservative commentator Jeff Crank — losing by 30 points, according to the Times.

    The three losses are just the second, third, and fourth time that a Trump favorite has lost their race for a federal position this election cycle, Politico reported. The first instance happened earlier in June when Trump-endorsed New Jersey Senate candidate Christine Serrano Glassner lost by 7 points to real estate developer Curtis Bashaw, according to the Times.


    There's two other candidates who might get added to Trump's list of failures.

    The race for Utah's second congressional district is still too close to call, with Trump-backed incumbent Rep. Celeste Maloy leading by just 3 points. And Virginia's Republican primary is also still too close to call, with Trump pick John McGuire less than one point ahead of his challenger. That race may result in a recount, MSNBC reported.

    Trump-backed congressional candidates suffered rare losses in Tuesday's primary elections (msn.com)

    Yeah there was an LSU scrub trying to talk all this shit about the DKR game day experience in 2019.

    Uhh bro we came close to beating your BEST.TEAM.EVAR with a team that went 8-4 the rest of the way.

    No doubt we are apathetic from years of playing crap teams but we can still get plenty of hype.

    The 'torture your opponent by climate control game," right?  Poor honorable LSU lads littered the field that game with insufferable cramps.

    As soon as all those played jumped in, they had to go with Earley. Just to salvage next year. It will bite them in the ass when they’re all gone and they can’t pony up the same mid six figure NILs to other players

    Surely large downgrades at every coaching position won’t matter

    Once these players learn they'll be under a staff of questionable developmental skills, it will be harder to recruit from HS and the Portal.  They won't have enough NIL to make up for that.  UT is going through that a bit with the new DL coach not having many skins on the wall to point to.  Multiply that by the entire staff, and that's what will end up biting them in the ass.  

    However, once these guys are gone, so is Earley, I would bet.  

  13. It will be interesting to see if these players bitching about CC now change their tunes (and how) when their personal contracts come up for negotiation.  If the CC era truly is here to stay and the revenue moves into a higher level, you know those players who have "given their all to keep the league going" will want their piece of the expanded pie.  And that is fine, but will they give CC her due? Do they recognize that Caitlyn brings something new and fresh to the league that people have been needing, and in turn they try to cultivate more of whatever it is that's driving this groundswell change?  Or do they try to get those fans to accept the old W, brushing this off as some flash in the pan?

    I’m really excited about Gasparino coming back.  My prediction is that he hits 25 HRs next year.

    Same here, but I'm also thrilled Galvan is returning.  That kid has scrapper and leader in his aura.
