Donald Trump Assassination Attempt
I don’t read that at all. He didn’t have it coming. He and his minions did and do, however, foment the environment where this isn’t surprising though. Hell, read MGT’s twisted tweet post-attempt. His rhetoric is going to and has caused stochastic terrorism from all angles. Any both sides equivalency arguments can get fucked.

Donald Trump Assassination Attempt
The false flag shit doesn’t make any sense. Biden administration will be investigating it. His SS and local police was just inept. Speaks to the SS members that are on his detail.

Donald Trump Assassination Attempt
So if we find out the shooter was mentally ill but still purchased the gun legally, is politicizing it to suggest, um, hey, it’s your fault Republicans?

Park City, Utah
We are here right now. Drove to Santa Fe from Austin, then to Park City with a stop at Four Corners. We did rent a car, which worked great. Second day drive was beautiful but it was a bitch, particularly between Four Corners and Moab. Four corners was fun because I could make the joke about leaving my kid two states over before I realized where she was. Summer tip - Skip the Epic Adventure stuff at the bottom of the main mountain. The lines are awful, it’s way too expensive and it’s a la carte. Go to Olympic Park. $89 (still a lot) for all you can do in 3.5 hours. I did the Olympic Bobsled too. It was wild. The 59 seconds it took to get down felt like 10. Took kids shore fishing at Jordanelle Reservoir. They aren’t quite ready to fly fish but if anyone knows any other good fishing spots for kids within an hour of Park City, let me know.

I like the Aemond character? I mean I get he is fucking ruthless and a “bad guy” but as someone mentioned above, he’s the mirror to Daemon.

USMNT 2024
I agree he should have played more but other than maybe McKennie who do you put him in front of in the starting XI we rolled out?

Win us a World Cup? How about get us to the final 8?

USMNT 2024
We will park the bus hoping for two ties, and watch Bolivia and Panama kick each other in the shins for 89 minutes until Panama nets a goal. We will then have to go on attack and Uruguay will get 2 on counters in extra time.

The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
The president vs candidate thing is real. He’s great at the former, fuck the haters. He’s horrible at the latter at this stage of his life. And the latter is more important in the long term for our country despite it being a short term process. This is a time of love to see a wild card like an Admiral McRaven whisper “I’ll do it”. It will never happen. Lazard pays pretty well I bet. But that’s the type of candidate that would just kill it . . . as a candidate.

The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
Your argument is rooted in the idea that one side in Charlottesville those days wasn’t 100% white supremacist and racist. There were no fine people on that side. Argument over

He was getting that from somebody, but add the injury history and it's still silly season.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Aggies are funny. If you set aside the rivalry, Elko did Duke much dirtier than Schloss did A&M. Schloss was super self-aware of that today and I think genuinely contrite. But aggy gonna aggy.

Presumed Innocent - AppleTV, June 12, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga
This show is good but I have a hard time buying Jake Gyllenhal being a parent to teenagers.

The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
I do think Trump walking off the set is very much in play. In fact, I could see him ramble through his opening statement, get muted when his time is up, then walk off.

The Supremes
Guys, he didn’t know he had to. Remember when he said that the last 5 times? This shit is complicated.

The Supremes
Meh. It’s procedural. Once the right plaintiffs come along, bye bye Griswold.

The Supremes
Exactly. Anything and everything could come out about either of these guys, Justice Roberts could grow a spine and publicly demand their recusal and/or resignation, they could be ignored and talked over at every hearing and still they’d sit on the court all like ….

Woah, woah, woah….. are we saying the IRS can’t elect to audit him as a citizen? There would be just cause at this point. I presume if he shot someone he is going to jail. He can go to jail for tax evasion too a la Al Capone, too. Congress may not be able to do shit but I presume the IRS or, presumably, the Virginia state tax authority, could be interested in whether his tax returns note those gifts. Now, I imagine there is a way to suggest they aren’t taxable or can be diced up in a way to avoid any thresholds that require tax. This is all wishcasting but I can’t believe Supreme Court justices are immune to prosecution for state or federal crimes, even if it doesn’t lose them their seat without impeachment.

Sports Card Collecting
What was the turnaround on PSA? I have a few that I've thought about sending off. I sent some through a local card store and got them back in less than 40 days but they up charged me something crazy. I sent some on my own on May 12th and the app says it will be August before I get them back. I hope that’s wrong. Will keep you posted.
