It's been going on for a long time, but I do think social media and the proliferation of violent videos of fights at schools or other places is desensitizing people to real-life crime, even if it happens in front of them. No doubt some kids were deeply affected and shocked by all of this, but...

Again, this is exactly what Orban did to Hungary's news media - virtually all of it is now owned and under the control of either his government or businesses that are very friendly to his government. It is very, very difficult for his opposition to get their message out now, and has been for...

"Trump aides bullish on Supreme Court boosting GOP in midterms." Well of course, that's one of the main things they were appointed to do - give the GOP every advantage in elections.

I don't doubt that her intelligence or that she's dynamic - I've seen her in some committee hearings and she's definitely passionate about her politics. I just seriously doubt that anywhere close to a majority of Texas voters will be willing to elect her in a statewide election. At any rate if...

Disgusting. As has been said many times before, this administration is a drawing together of the most loathsome and malevolent people in the country and then giving them nearly unchecked power to do whatever they want.

Yeah, there's a reason why Biden was able to win while Hillary and Kamala didn't. Sad to say, but as I said with Crockett running in Texas it's a very ugly reality of our politics right now, unfortunately. There's simply a large number of men and women (especially Evangelical women) in America...

I don't see Crockett winning a Senate seat in Texas, she would be better off to stay in the House unless her seat is one of those being gerrymandered to favor Republicans, which it may be, I haven't checked. Even so I don't see Texas voters electing a young, outspoken, very liberal black woman...

Even if this hostile takeover fails word is that they will still buy all of WB's TV networks (apparently Netflix isn't interested in those) which includes CNN. Which means if they buy CNN they will immediately move it to the pro-Trump right just as they have CBS. So 2 formerly respected news...

I saw this reply to that tweet and thought it was pretty funny - suppose ND joined the Big 12 (they won't) and its other religious schools? LOL.

Well, bye. Don't let the door hit you and all that. I think they honestly believe that the ACC will beg them and grovel for them to stay, and I certainly hope that doesn't happen. And if it facilitates the conference breaking up a few years earlier than it was already going to, then so be it. I...

I'm sure that some will say that we need to wait for actual evidence to be presented, but given everything that we've repeatedly seen since 2016 about so, so many of these MAGA Freaks/Quacks/Conspiracy Nuts/Bigots/Grifters/Bible-Thumping Hypocrites, does anyone really doubt that at least part...

My guess is that if America is really serious about increasing domestic fertilizer production then Trump 2.0 could easily produce all the manure that America needs. Because this entire administration is one long, endlessly flowing river of shit.

No, I hadn't seen that. I will say that it's ridiculous that ND gets that kind of special treatment, which also explains why they're whining and crying so much right now - they can't believe that the great ND could possibly get left out of the playoffs over anyone else. If that's their deal then...

For it to be practical to leave they'll have to find another P4 conference willing to take them on, as I don't think they can make the playoffs anymore as a true independent. And I'm not sure the Big 10 - the most likely conference - would be willing to make the concessions ND would no doubt...
