That and he knows that if he talks trash and insults us after they win it will thrill their fan base even more and make them even more pleased with him. We've become his ticket to job security at NC State. It's not just that they've been regularly beating us, it's his very vocal rubbing it in...

No doubt she probably meant it as a joke, but it's very likely that Trump actually believes it. And this happens all the time at his cabinet meetings - just embarrassing and over-the-top compliments and brown nosing. She knows what she's doing, and it goes beyond just making a joke.

Oh, my god, I can't believe that she actually said that. Well, it's Kristi so maybe I can, but still. His cabinet meetings resemble the high command meetings of Stalin or Hitler or Mussolini or some Third World dictator in their final days - endless over-the-top butt kissing and compliments and...

Starting with Nixon, I remember reading books and articles where they discussed Republicans talking in a racial "code" - or dog whistles where most people would understand what they were getting at without them having to say it openly. Like the infamous Willie Horton ad from the first Bush's...

"Do you have brown or black skin? Then we don't want you in the USA."

Given how heavily gerrymandered that district is and Trump's margin of victory there last year, improving the Democratic performance by 13 points is still pretty damned good and a clear sign of public dissatisfaction with Trump 2.0. If that margin carried over nationally next year then Democrats...

She sounds like yet another embittered Trumper who has fallen out of favor with Dear Leader and the GOP Leadership and is taking the verbal "burn it all down" MTG route on her way out. I don't think she has a chance of getting elected governor of New York, especially next year in the current...

I think our coming crisis over AI is going to go way beyond just the value of a college degree. If it abolishes even half the number of jobs many say it will we're going to face our greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, as where are all these millions of displaced people going to...

Agree completely. UK may have been missing some key players, but we were missing Trimble and had to play UK at their place in front of a hostile crowd, and it's always tough to win there. A much-needed win and one that will hopefully show the team that they can still win big games even if...

While UK is missing three players we're missing Trimble and playing UK on their home court in front of what will be a very hostile crowd, so I don't think that a loss will indicate that Hubert isn't ready in reality, but I do agree that the perception and storyline will be if we lose that...

It should be embarrassing and is a bad sign for the GOP for next year, but I'm sure that Trump will still brag about the victory and act like it was an epic win thanks to his endorsement.

As of now she's losing by just 5 points in a heavily gerrymandered GOP-leaning district that Trump won by 22 points last year. That's a very, very bad sign for Republicans nationally for next year's elections.

There is a lot of irony in a Latino Republican pushing to deport other immigrant groups when her own group has to date been the primary target of the rabid right-wingers she so clearly considers herself one of. There have been Republican Latinos who have been arrested and detained by ICE and...

Indeed. And yet we have posters who keep defending him. There's just no way you can hear him say that and then claim that he's not a white supremacist racist. It's just blatant. But I'm sure that the usual suspects will rationalize it somehow.

I still think a college education will be an advantage moving forward in many fields. What will matter is what people choose to major in. And certainly going heavily into debt isn't a smart move if you're going into a field where the pay isn't going to be exceptional. And I do think that at...
