    Even if Cornyn got rid of the filibuster for voting laws, you know darn well that Fetterman would never agree to reciprocate by getting rid of it for other laws, so unless Democrats can get 51 senators, it doesn't make a difference what Republicans do with the SAVE act filibuster. That said, I...

    Politics Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR

    I watched the whole thing on YouTube, which is over an hour long. I actually thought she did the best job of anyone I have heard at putting a coherent, Trump-favorable spin on his actions and strategy. Certainly way more coherent and sensible than Lindsay Graham or Trump himself. I'd prefer...

    The scary thing is that we may have used AI to do it. If we are targeting based on AI without human involvement, that is a huge problem.

    The average life expectancy in the US increased three years between 2000 and 2025, so that certainly explains some of it. Also, not all of the uber wealthy are old. Elon Musk, for example is under 55.

    There is no interest on the part of the ACC top force its best teams to play 4 games in 4 days to win the title.

    Agreed that if Scheyer had Miami's roster, he likely wouldn't have done better than Jai. But he had Duke's roster and did really well with it. I think Jai had a good argument, as did Scheyer and Odom. Unfortunately, I think Scheyer may well be a better coach than K - at least post 2015 K. In...

    All true. But none of that changes the fact Miami's record last year is not relevant to Jai Lucas performance this year. Certainly the lack of historical success and fan support is relevant, but not last year's record. Also, roster construction is generally not a consideration in coach of...

    I hope Trump continues the war because it will surely sink him in the midterms. I have no idea whether it will benefit the US strategically in the long run and I don't care. I want Trump to do whatever he can to hurt his political leverage for the last two years of his presidency...

    Sports 2026 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament

    When you turnover almost the entire team (Duke) or the entire team (Miami) I don't think the prior year record is relevant at all. There is literally zero overlap between Miami 25 and Miami 26. Miami could have been 40-0 last year and that fact would be equally relevant to how well this...

    I'm fine with all that. Sure, it is a stupid format. But who the heck cares? If you aren't in the top 10 of the ACC, you are an afterthought anyway.
