Will Cain is Temu Tucker Carlson

yep. I believe Will Cain had a CNN show way back in the past when he was viewed as a potential Tucker Carlson. Then he had a co-host. Then the co-host didn't have Will Cain. And its not that his takes necessarily went against CNN viewer's opinions, they just weren't that good. 

The interview with Talarico demonstrated how Cain has a loose understanding of the facts and can't easily talk his way around a high quality, adversarial guest. He needs to be talking directly to the viewer where he can't be challenged.

According to wiki he basically fucked around for 6 years after graduating before founding a publication about quinceaneras (lulz). That's one way to use your $200k+ education (I'm including Pepperdine undergrad).

I listened to Will Cain on either Simmons or Rusillo last year.  He seemed like he’d be tolerable if you stayed out of politics.  But he looks like a dime store Jesse Waters here.

He was. He wasn’t bad at all, definitely better than Chris Childers or whoever on XM84.

Then he went hard right. It sucked as he pushed back on people and their narratives of Texas football. Next thing I know, he’s off ESPN and on Fox News

California will move forward with redistricting vote to counter Texas, Newsom says

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that he is moving forward with putting proposed new congressional maps for the state on the ballot on a Nov. 4 special election in an attempt to counter mid-decade redistricting being pushed by Republicans in Texas.

"I know they say 'Don't mess with Texas.' Well, don't mess with the great Golden State," Newsom said at a news conference, flanked by Democratic members of Congress and California union leaders.

"We're doing this in reaction to a president of the United States that called a sitting governor of the state of Texas and said, 'Find me five seats,'" he added later.

He said the state government will affirm its commitment to the state's independent redistricting commission after the 2030 census, "but we're asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in 2026, 2028 and 2030 for the congressional maps to respond to what's happening in Texas … and we'll do so in a way that also affirms our desire as a state to level the playing field all across the United States."

In a campaign video released concurrently with his announcement, Newsom framed the issue in stark terms.

"It is a five-alarm fire for democracy in the United States of America. Donald Trump, who is trying to light a torch on democracy, continues to try to rig the election," Newsom says in the video.

 

Speaking to reporters after the announcement, Newsom said California won't move forward with its mid-decade redistricting plans if Republican-run states considering redistricting don't move forward with redrawing their own maps.

"This does not go forward -- I want to remind everybody -- unless one of these other states move forward, there's still an exit ramp -- not just Texas, but Missouri, as I mentioned, or Florida, Indiana, these other states that are considering doing the unprecedented, rigging their elections with midterm redistricting. So we're hopeful they don't move forward. If that's the case, this effort will not be necessary. But we're not waiting," he said.

Republicans are criticizing Newsom's move as political. *lol*  *lol*  *lol*

"Gavin Newsom's latest stunt has nothing to do with Californians and everything to do with consolidating radical Democrat power, silencing California voters, and propping up his pathetic 2028 presidential pipe dream," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Christian Martinez said in a statement ahead of the press conference.

"Newsom's made it clear: he'll shred California's Constitution and trample over democracy -- running a cynical, self-serving playbook where Californians are an afterthought and power is the only priority."

Fuck the GOP

Being a UT law grad does not make one an actual Longhorn, an adoptive one at best.  That's why hot wheels is so annoying.

I'm fairly certain the largest percentage of UT law grads after UT undergrads is aggy.

That's a pretty low bar.

 

Will Cain = Dime store Jesse Waters

Jesse Waters = Temu Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson = Fucking Idiot.

All I have to say about Cain is he follows the football team, knows about our recruiting(I’m fairly certain he subscribes to Inside Texas). He is definitely a big time Horn fan.

This is more for [mention=2294]Ag with kids[/mention], but one reason Bozo keeps picking on you is that you're a good representative of the kind of thinking that's confused the present, dysfunctional system as working for you.   Millions of Texas Republican voters would be, for example, shocked to find out that their business friendly, low tax, low service state is taxing their household more than they would pay in blue or purple states.    
But what about owning the libs?

The political leanings of Inside Texas has always been weird, even before Alex P Keaton wannabe Nahlin took over.  It wouldn’t be at all surprising for Cain to be on there.

There was a pretty cute gal from Ballinger I flirted with hard in college.  Tried to connect, and it just wasn't happening.  Later that semester, started dating the gal who I ended up marrying.  Early December, we became a real-deal couple.  Days later, Ballinger gal called ME (1) to tell me she was having a little Christmas party at her condo, and (2) she'd really like me to come, as her date.  Had to let her down.

That's the way I roll.  Breaking cute Ballinger gals' hearts.

Kinda dodged a bullet, though.  She and my wife actually knew each other, and ran in the same circles over the years.  Turns out, she was kinda weird.  Don't know if that was her, or the Ballinger coming through.

I hope there's a day when a football player runs his ass over when he's on the sidelines.

But then hotwheels will sue the player and the university for millions.....

 

DeAndre Levy his ass: 

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

 

Levy played college football for the Wisconsin Badgers from 2005 to 2008...

In November 2006, Levy inadvertently collided with nearly 80-year-old Penn State coach Joe Paterno on the sideline during a game, fracturing Paterno's shin bone and damaging knee ligaments.[1][2] Subsequent to the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, Levy now calls that incident "my proudest moment in college".[3] In response, 21 former Penn State football players signed a letter condemning his comments.[4]

Shortly after @DDD Dad and I finished with a bunch of Ballinger work, I hit it off with an entirely different really cute Ballinger gal on a Southwest Airlines flight.  Sadly, I was (and am) married.  But damn--she seemed really fun.
