The media being cowed by Trump is going to do a lot of work to blanket over him selling wristwatches, plates, Hummel figurines, and whatever trash bearing his name image and likeness while he's taking office.

TV and movies were better with cocaine addicts doing the acting, writing and the greenlighting. JK

That was an amazing time. I got to see him pitch but it was the next year. He won and he was pretty good but we didn't know he was on his way to injury shortened career. Watching the replay of that Yankee game and seeing how electric the stadium was was amazing. As for your memory same here. But there is a side benefit of putting a gallon jug of memories into the shot glass of the here and now. My daughter was at a high school theater improv competition last night and my wife in the audience (she was there, I was not), told me because she more life experiences to draw from she was thinking of ideas for the kids way before the kids on stage were thinking things up. Whatever that would be worth to you, dunno.

He’s sure flacking a lot of merch for a guy who wants to avoid the appearance of impropriety. :—)

Well this mole is serving the PLA and PRC intelligence.

The Tik Tok model exists elsewhere. Doesn’t make elsewhere any less egregious. The PRC has weaponized Tik Tok and is using it to influence and to collect very very valuable data.

Damn right

I see my name mentioned…hope people weren’t making threats again.

Not to be extra cynical about such things but we would get at least 1 3rd round comp pick for Glenn, would we get another for Staley? I had heard PODcast talking about this the other day while coworkers were telling me to evacuate the building because of a nerve gas attack (writer’s embellishment). So i don’t recall what they said on the POD.

My overriding thought is that there are too many poorly sourced NFL reports provided by the entry-level enthusiasts who are to reporting what the Michigan Militia was to the Black Hawk Down era 75th Ranger Regiment or Spirit Airlines is to the Strategic Air Command during the time of Curtis Lemay.

Yikes

Is Oakland still in play?

But that's ok, eggs were very, very expensive during the Biden ruinous tyranny.

I mean the waitresses will be harassed but the cops' lives will be endangered.

for example everything having to do with Rosetti.

You feel bad for the cops who will be dealing with Trump fans again

Looks like Jake Sullivan pulled off the ceasefire.

I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire in the moment but you are right...they did do some really weird stuff which I felt was just keep the audience guessing another 5 minutes like "24" used to do.

FTR, i enjoyed all of “Lost” and only in my seasoned old age see the issues.

"Severance" this weekend. I'm more worried about that sucking than I am about the Lions. Big fan but...man it might get turned into "Lost" with all its issues (too much shipping, soap opera-y, plot lines never resolved)

they keep making All-in-the-family clones but putting Tim Allen in the lead.

Pete Hegseth's bit about dust on his boots is interesting in light of Mattis, Esper, Miller and Austin his immediate predecessors back to Ashton Carton (who was a civilian through and through). I used to use the line "unless you've felt the weight of the rucksack on your back, you don't know" which is rhetoric used to win an argument in a college dorm but doesn't tell you anything about his knowledge of the PPBE, the JCIDS and Acquisition Process which was put in place over time to prevent the kind of graft that the Trump admin is planning. I learned about this during my first real job out of school while working in the Secretary of the Air Force's office for Acquisition and its bizonkers complex. I ran screaming in the other direction as soon as I could. My good friends who i work with in my softball league run joint programs with the US and UK to build nuclear submarines which has been built over several decades of careful diplomacy and stakeholder management, and another is a finance specialist with the Navy who works ship building programs and he's convinced that all the hullaballoo about delays in US shipbuilding are 100% the fault of the failure to budget consistently because of Congress playing games. Yeah, dust on your boots...good luck rummy. https://acqnotes.com/acqnote/acquisitions/ppbe-map

I think she's possibly hoping for something that is a starting negotiation point. NATO will be rebranded as Maga American Trump Organization (at least on the whiteboard in the oval office) and Trump won't care so long as he gets his Diet Coke when he pushes the button.

this is amazing

Mace is so messed up in the head. Rhetorically...I'll ask...what the hell happened to her? I know, I know...she's lost in the demonic pit of the anti-Christ that is the RW machine and sold her soul for 5 minutes of fame and whatever prescription drugs she's taking to bear up in all of this are not enough.
