Can’t wait for her to act as a single issue senator, continue to run interference for vc interests, then leave office and make a billion sitting on boards for the various vc’s she protected.

Re: Election Day 2022
Registered as an independent. It is such a nakedly selfish move. It does nothing to change how she is voting, it doesn’t change the power/control base of the senate (though does give Manchin actually a little more power). All it does is give her publicity. Arizonans can see right through that, but h...

Re: 2022 NCAA Football thread

Re: 2022 NCAA Football thread
Saban is making the Bama would be favored argument very likely well aware of the fact that oddsmakers tend to skew lines towards Alabama because the Alabama brand name attracts casual bettors (5-7 ATS in 2022) I don't blame him one bit for pushing for his team. but it's probably worth discussing if...

OSU is in now, no doubt. The question is today is TCU or Bama. There's never been a two loss non-conference winner in the playoffs until now. Unless they put Clemson in. Utah's opening season loss at Florida really hurts them because Florida finished 6-6. They wouldn't have been in anyways. A 2 los...

I enjoyed that. Let’s go. Agreed. We were the better team on the day and fashioned more of the dangerous chances. Weston has to get that one in target.

There are probably at least 20 percent that will sit things out if Trump doesn't run, or more accurately gets shut out by the GOP.
