Is this game on Hulu? Same thing happened last year. I bring up the app on my TV and I cannot find it anywhere.

I wonder if Charlie Kirk has ever had consensual sex.

The reaction to the pardon by critics is appropriate in normal times. But the cat's out of the bag. We surpassed normal times 8 years ago. The political world had a demarcation line, pre trump and post trump. In the post trump world and with his election once again we've decided rules don't matter anymore. The old standards where a career or admin is ruined is gone.

Could be an overreaction too... like someone suggested it, they discussed it as every suggestion, no matter how dumb, is discussed.... then it leaks. Technically they discused it and it sounds bigger than it really is.

right. Putin wants Ukraine and to today's republican party, Putin gets what Putin wants so the fact Ukraine didn't roll over then he has to start a war and that war is Ukraine's fault and it's the fault of everybody who is supporting Ukraine in their defense. If hey would just roll over then there's no problems. Classic mafia and bully tactics. If these bars and restaurants would just play ball and pay their tribute to the Don then there wouldn't be any killings and bombings.

The only president I can recall not having a hell of a time at the end of their term with pardons is W. His issue was in who he didn’t pardon (Libby). It’s huge news for a bit but then fades away. But of course Trump fans have to just keep their mouths shut about rules of law, etc. you need to sit this one out and go back to your holes and shut up.

Sounds like they are perfect for the Republican party then. I don't give a **** that he did it. The standard was set 8 years ago that nothing mattered anymore, that there's no standards that have to be met. No such thing as a right or a wrong, Presidents and their people can do anything they want without consequences. Any right leaners who get upset over it are exposing themselves and raging hypocrites... but hey, we knew that already. Biden is finally playing the game as it's called.

I'll throw this here since it's about music... The Yacht Rock documentary on Max is fantastic. I highly recommend it. It validated for me a love of songs I wasn't supposed to like at my age but I did. It's great to see the reach of these artists and how this genre (named long after the music was created) evolved and was revived later on through hip hop. I learned so much. And yes, What a Fool Believes is the the gold standard.

The reactions to the pardon show the continuing dissonance. People seriously acting like this is now what Trump needs to do his pardons? Do they write that with a straight face? Democrats get no credit or bonus votes for doing the right thing. Making the elite class happy and not pissing them off gets you nowhere. Nate Silver's like "don't vote for a democrat who doesn't denounce this in 48 hours". An acceptance of a pardon are an admission of guilt.

Thinking out loud… if you pay a team for a player, does that count against the luxury tax threshold? If a receiving team pays off a deferred salary arent they in essence paying the team? It’s an obligation they made. The contractual obligation for a years salary was met, the player just agreed to basically give them a loan.

Are the deferrals linked to a particular year? I imagine it would be part of the negotiation in the trade. I know we had this discussion when Ohtani signed but I forgot the details. Isn’t the deferred money still counted against the luxury tax threshold based on its present value?

The woke made the military and Christian’s illegal. We are going to put the King James Bible back in Friday night football where it belongs.

Does that mean we will have to put up with more forced patriotism during sporting events. Sponsored by GM of course.

I have a group of female acquaintances who did nothing but whine about how much Biden screwed up the economy yet on Friday they took pictures from every store they went to from about 4:30 on. My ass. But that’s white trash for you. They got a “great deal” on some crap.
