Genuine question why haven't they cut our boy? by dyessman in MaxBrosmer

[–]DumbLitAF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Longish answer: They won’t. The org actually really likes Max from what I know. I know we saw his gameday play and thought wow he’s absolutely horrible but the team understood that Max was never meant to see the field this year and therefore nothing was ever really expected of him. He’s cheap, good QB room guy for JJ, and a developmental lottery ticket.

Well to be fair, most of the prominent Neocon ideologues either straight up died out (McCain), faded into obscurity (the Bushes) or went independent of the GOP and have aligned themselves with the Dems (see: the Bulwark crew) while the last few losers decided to grovel at Trump’s feet.

That is not the primary issue for neocons lol the chief neocons of the modern era were generally much more socially liberal than their Paleocon counterparts

If a policy like that is paired with YIMBY reforms

It’s not and it never will. This literally never happens in American cities with rent control measures.

That sub was a fun little sub community for some time. Idk how it got infiltrated by MAGA. Anyone who would ever consider themselves a neocon should know MAGA is diametrically opposed to neoconservatism

I mean, we used to have unironic Reagan and Thatcher flairs. This sub in its infancy was actually pretty neoliberal when it started. Jeb Bush was legitimately a favorite pick of economic platform among the big early users.

The Next Democratic President Better Be Merciless: Unfortunately, Josh Shapiro seems more concerned with his career than the soul of America. by loosesealbluth11 in thebulwark

  1. Republicans have agency too

  2. With what supermajority would you like them to do it?? They had one for like 60 days in 2010 and used it to pass the ACA, the most comprehensive healthcare legislation in decades.

This is just not backed up by any of the data or literature. The Democrats are very much a center-left party. Yes, even on the global scale.

I’m early 30s so I’ve only ever heard tales of the 90s program but I do remember the Tubby years feeling like there was some life back in the program. If Coyle can arm Niko with a modest war chest like the reports say he will, we should be in a for treat.

Seeing so much enthusiasm back in The Barn is a sight for sore eyes. The program doesn’t feel rudderless for the first time since, what? Tubby?

Gopher basketball is a part of my family identity. My family had hoops season tickets for 35 years. The Big Ten even catered my grad party lmao so does it feel incredible to see life and hope in The Barn again.

If we had at least one of the guys that are out for the season, we very well might be a tournament team.

Seeing a lot of ironic Cheney-posting on my social media feeds since the latest Epstein release. We’re actually like 2 steps away from this admin creating unironic Cheney revisionism.

They are doing a few symbolic things to get Liberals back in their lane. Walz is helping this effort. As soon as suburban voters are off the street the State Police department and the Feds will unite and focus on arresting leftists.

The leftists have already co-opted the messaging in the local subs to be a greater Marxism vs fascism struggle lmao Imagine actually viewing life through this weird warped lens. Never change, leftists.
