Maybe. I have my doubts that they have the same level of deep pockets (football donors) as most SEC or Big 10 schools and can compete with paying top players and drawing top transfers with those schools, but you may be right. At any rate they're likely in for a long recovery period.

Agreed, but I doubt the party's congressional leadership as it is now constituted has the guts to do it, even with a majority in both Houses. At some point, though, Democrats have got to start realizing that their survival as a political party is at stake, or at least their chances of ever...

Yes, I'm sure that the real problem is "leftist leaders" scaring young people out of having kids, and not, you know, the ridiculous costs of childcare, healthcare, education, buying a home or renting an apartment, stagnant wages, and so on. No, the real problem is liberals scaring them out of...

The actual historical facts don't matter to these people anymore, they quite literally just make up their own "facts" and their base laps it up.

Pretty funny that he's saying that on a show run by a career woman who is almost certainly very much into consumerism and materialism. As for loneliness, that's only something that Ingraham would know.

While we did have the embarrassment of Jesse Helms, another South Carolina "worthy" worth mentioning for sheer awfulness was Strom Thurmond, who was active in SC politics for nearly seven decades and for much of his career was a diehard segregationist who fought civil rights bills in the Senate...

Because DOGE was never about actually saving money or improving efficiency or the other things they claimed. It was about a taking a meat cleaver to welfare programs and other agencies that conservatives have despised for decades (environmental regulation agencies, education agencies, regulatory...

If nothing else, Trumpism has provided a fascinating (and disturbing) insight into the mindset of people who honestly seem to believe that, despite being a member of a minority hated and targeted by conservatives (blacks, Latinos, immigrants, LGBTQ, poor people, etc.) or who are married to one...

I know a couple of Latino immigrants who have been married for years to American spouses, and they voted for Trump (their spouses are very conservative, and they are both very socially conservative, especially on transgenders). One of them had a job they loved with a company that worked through...

The GOP has been very effective in their messaging for a good while, and in framing issues in the way they want. This whole "parental control" nonsense is just the latest example. Of course parents have certain rights in terms of their child's education and medicine, but as parents they are also...

Agree on all counts. His first term was awful, but he at least did have some sane people around him like Kelly who were still willing to stand up to him and some of Trump's worst orders or actions were diverted or mitigated to some extent. This time he deliberately appointed only total flunkies...

Joining the Dark Side of the Force rapidly ages you and ruins your looks. On a positive note, though, you don't have to be bothered with such petty things as morals and ethics and a conscience anymore.

Didn't know that about the research assistant, but I can't say that I'm surprised at all. Conservatives love practicing what they preach to others not to do - like Bill Bennett preaching traditional virtues in his bestselling The Book of Virtues while at the same time running up millions in...

Maybe that's what he meant, but it would have been nice if he was more specific in his later comment. And as you said those are all rather vague goals and to pretend that Democrats aren't interested in those qualities and Republicans are is utterly absurd, if that's what he was getting at...

Maybe it's outstanding, but I'd like to know specifically what he means by "traditional values and practices that enable people to rise" before giving him too much credit. And Democrats have been discussing cultural values like expanded rights for women and gays and other minority groups for...
