Spokane, Washington. A mere 2000 miles away from LCA.

what can we get from the bulls in a sign and trade?

I mean, there are things Trump could do as well to deescalate the conflict. But that's not going to happen as he's shown himself completely unable to pivot in his second term. We can talk theoretically about how things can improve between now and November, but that would require an administration that actually responded to the signals the population give off about unpopular policies. And by all accounts, Trump doesn't give a **** about what the population thinks about the Iran War or gas prices or ICE or anything.

Really none of it since the guy was in his 30’s when he said all this stuff. It’s weird the purity test the left has for everyone else. Buttigieg was disqualified because he once worked for McKinsey. Everything with this guy is just waved off.

I went to Lowes yesterday to get some sod plugs (In Florida, the grass grows sideways on stolons, so this works). The garden area was closed, so I had to go inside to ring them up and go out and grab them, like ice at a convenience store. The employee working the checkout area proceeded to type in sod into the touch screen to ring it up... and was unable to spell "sod." "Sid," "Sud", "Sd."

I would place 0.00 votes based on a magatownbummers politial prognostication

it also would be enjoyed by me

Forever young

I’m still unsure where Gonzaga is located. It’s clearly on the East Coast and has Catholic school pattern of punching above its weight.

Without any evidence. Schumer might have pulled Mills because he likes Collins personally.

Jack Flaherty is the starting pitcher. Isn’t he “due” for a good game? I mean, just by the law of averages an occasional bounce back to actually be good is statistically possible. In the post game Dan Dickerson was playing up how much Jack likes pitching for the home crowd etc. etc… I would like that.

Down goes Edmonton!

How does Denver lose that series with the injuries Minnesota had?

LOL - very true.

The GOPs hope is that it will end and prices come down before the election and that people have short memories. The dilemma is that the only way to get Iran to relent is probably going to be to break a lot more stuff, and the more stuff they break, the longer it will take after it ends for enough things to get put back together so oil prices can come back down. One of the things that Americans are just phenomenally bad at is figuring out what the tother guy is thinking. Trump and Bibi have this grand idea that finally, after 45 yrs we deal the Ayatollahs the decisive blow. But it works both ways. In Teheran, the mullahs are thinking "after 45 years of pressure we finally have an opportunity to push the US back hard and get them off our case." The chances aren't that bad that they are going to be willing to take as much as we have the capability and/or stomach to dish out. And the status quo is untenable, both because there is a election on the horizon, and also because storage tanks in Asia are running down, and when they get critical the push back from China will start to mount and what that will look like is a huge wildcard.

with Platner, the question is how much if his past he will be able to write off as "I was a dumb young GI grunt". He can probably finesse being a GI doing GI things if that's the era of stuff they come up with. You are spot on though that the GOP will be looking for every single woman he's ever failed to hold a door for. I thought OHIO would have shifted more strongly a long time ago - I guess all the time I spent in Toledo gave me a false sense of security about the general sanity level of Ohioans. Better late than never I guess, if it happens.

Quinn Hughes and the Wild knock out Dallas and move on to a clash with Colorado 3 goals on 6 shots past Ingram, Ducks lead Edmonton 3-1 late in the 1st

Translation: None of them actually want to play there. But they are happy to use Chicago to drive up their contract price.

Where is the demand for Duke vs. Gonzaga in Downtown Detroit. Who’s going to go to that. Seems like a terrible idea.

I do think Dems will take the senate but it's impossible without Maine. I think people are sleeping on Ohio, but in this environment with Sherrod Brown running, I think they flip it. North Carolina seems easier than Maine. Cooper is very strong going against a non incumbent nutcase. Alaska is another sleeper along with Iowa and I think Talarico has a shot in Texas. Collins is tough. They will have more oppo on Platner. There will also be another vote where Collins vote is meaningless and she can vote against the party like in 2020 when she voted against Amy Coney Barrett.

If this were 2022, I'd agree with you... but I don't know this time around. This is a terrible, anti-incumbent environment for Rs, Collins herself isn't really well liked by her constituents anymore and is also getting up there in age, and people are angry and upset with the direction of the country. Keep harping on the environment because Platner would not be the first terrible candidate to win an election in a favorable cycle for their party.

1 2 3 4 5 6ers.

Duke just signed a deal with Amazon Prime Video. They will broadcast three of Duke's non-conference games this coming year. UConn in DC Michigan at the Garden Gonzaga at LCA Michigan in NYC and Gonzaga in Detroit is odd, but whatever.
