BTW other than the texts, what has Jay Jones done wrong that make some (including some here) call him a dirtbag and despicable?
I knew Jay's dad when he was a lawyer and a judge in Norfolk. Jay is highly respected in the legal community and had the support of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association. There's no excuse for those texts, but they don't make him unqualified or unfit for office. He's also never lied about them being his, or tried to justify them.
 
I mean I’m sure they’re still insufferable pieces of shit, but do they keep the drama meter turned up to 10 even when the cameras aren’t rolling?
The problem is, in today's society, they probably are right to assume that there's almost always a camera rolling somewhere. Which adds to the unhealthy dysfunction of it all.
 
That may be the case, but I was responding to the simple statement: "When Trump is on the ballot".
He damn sure was on the ballot in 2020. I'll stand by my statement and what I think in that instance, and still acknowledge what you've said.
Yeah I gotcha. But the full statement was "Trump, when on the ballot, brings out a very substantial number of low-propensity voters who are unengaged in the electoral process when Trump is not on the ballot." The fact that he lost in 2020 in an election with a huge spike in the number of voters, on both sides, is not at all inconsistent with that statement.
 
For a guy who played a whopping 6 seasons with 12 wins and 23 losses, he sure has staying power when it comes to public attention.
Let's be real...he's being quoted on twitter for a tweet that made him easy to mock.

I'm not sure I'd really equate that to "staying power".
 
I'd be more interested in number of new voters. Getting the previously uninterested involved will mean more in the long run than how the current pile is split up. Not the best election to judge more seldom has there been the same kind of motivation.
I would certainly want to know if there were a lot of new voters. If this drove new voters in an off-year, then that would be big... my assumption was it was a higher motivation for prior voters voting against Pubs... but I could def be wrong.
 
Damn, now I want biryani for dinnner.

Why must I live where there are no Indian restaurants!?!
Next time you're in NYC check out this place:


Tiny little basement place in Hell's Kitchen. You'll know you've found it when you see the 10-15 delivery guys waiting outside for their orders. If you want a seat, come early or be prepared to wait. Actually, just order it for pick-up. They have 5 or 6 tables and some counter seats...
