  1. Putin was in the KGB for 15 years and has openly mourned the collapse of the USSR. Any strategic goals seem to pale in comparison to the nostalgic? - I don't know if that's the right word - desire to reestablish the Soviet empire/sphere of influence, regardless of whether or not it's strategically sensible or viable.
  2. Jesus, fuck this bitch ass post. You were happy to keep banging the drum, then when presented with the obvious logical extension to your argument you just fold and say "well war is bad amirite" Negged. I am embarrassed to read shit like this out of someone who graduated form the University of Texas.
  3. You joined a college sports board in the middle of the NCAA tournament, baseball/softball season, and spring football. Yet you have proceeded to make zero posts in any of the sports forums, instead opting to talk about crypto and attempting to...*checks notes*... cry wolf about communism over the idea that Boeing is an example of a company for whom safety has to come before juicing profits. Fuck off weirdo. You'd fit in better on TexAgs.
  4. Even if it is a mistake - and I agree it's unlikely someone literally said/thought, "Oh look it's perhaps the highest profile aid organization operating in Gaza, let's light'em up!" - it's emblematic of so much more. That's the point.
  5. It's not like he was living on the edge last year. I imagine he's the one every-down LB with the names you mentioned all rotating situationally/for spells. Gbenda's my bet for the other week 1 starter to have a veteran presence in there, and because Michigan is going to be one of his higher snap count games.

    This is the kind of thing that can have outsized impact on public perception, in turn driving a shift in public opinion on the conflict and the political calculations for elected officials. Is that fair? No. Israel has been brazenly committing atrocities for months. Sad as it is, the death of seven innocents is a mild Tuesday morning in this conflict; but because of their nationalities and the organization the victims were affiliated with there is a spotlight on the horrific, indiscriminate nature of the violence. I don't know that it will happen. Isarel is such a thorny issue here and most people that do have an opinion are very much dug in. In general I disapprove of Biden's handling of the conflict, to put it diplomatically, but I'm conscious of the fact that he is walking a political tight rope and the consequences of stumbling on that are catastrophic.
  7. A good kid from a good family, one might say?
  8. The entire Boeing saga over recent years is just a metaphor for contemporary American society/economics at large, nothing being more illustrative of that than the fact that the bolded is a controversial statement. The race to the bottom continues.
  9. "Texas voters can walk backwards through a field of dicks, court says."
  10. Not to mention if they even get halfway to what they want it'd be an unmitigated disaster.
  11. Never thought I'd want to join Estonian Secret Service but here we are.
  12. It was pretty clusterfucky. I mean, it's always clusterfucky but especially last year. I chalk it up to being the highest profile matchup between the two teams for a while, and the first really big one post COVID. In 2021 Texas had some of the wind taken out of its sails when they got rolled by Arkansas, and it was hot as fuck. 2022 OU was a train wreck and everyone knew it. 2023 was a matchup of top 10-12 teams (don't remember where exactly OU was ranked), Texas was #2 or #3 and obviously the profile was riding as high as it had since 09 with the Bama win. College Game Day, perfect weather, all that.
  13. Offseason is for lurking the recruiting board. For most of recent history the football board has also been good for laughing at spiked kool aid but I have been overserved myself this year so I've got nothing to say on that front. Honestly, CR is a better place than the football board in the off season. It's an election year, after all. Never a dull moment.
  14. The Butts are pretty big GOP donors, no? I don't imagine this will have a direct, material impact on votes - most people will never see this story and it/s party over everything for the GOP anyway - but indirectly it could be a problem in a year where the GOP is at a major financial disadvantage with so much of their resources being funneled to Trump legal fees. Not the smartest move to spite a major donor in that situation.
  15. Nothing says Texas Tough like Dr. Phil amirite
  16. lmao this is the most bitch made, snowflake titty baby shit I've seen on this site in a while. Bravo.
  17. This is one of the consistently weirdest phenomena on this site.
  18. Also on the topic of polling, Split Ticket did a poll and accompanying piece on young voters: https://split-ticket.org/2024/03/27/we-polled-young-voters-heres-what-we-found/
  19. I want to believe this, which means I find myself extremely skeptical. To play devils advocate: Polls have indeed missed pretty significantly in both elections with Trump on the ballot - that's true! Both misses were large and... in favor of Trump. Polls were pretty accurate in 2018 and 2022 midterms, where Democrats were also murdering the GOP in special elections. One could easily conclude that presidential election polling is struggling because it can't capture the low propensity voters that tend to lean Trump. Why is that wrong?
  20. Weird, in my experience your wife is pretty into backside approaches.
  21. They were. The people missing are the road work crew. Two found, several still missing. Because it happened at 2am and there was construction going on, which enabled closure to traffic very quickly when the ship put out a mayday. Well, I'm going to hell.
  22. You must not remember renewing last year.
