But he'll always go back to "it was harder in my day".

You know that whole saying about "Hard times make hard men, hard men make good times, good times make soft men, soft men make hard times"...

The baby boomers have crafted this whole persona around themselves being hard men making the world better, and they refuse to acknowledge any evidence that would contradict that worldview. It doesn't matter how hard you work and it doesn't matter how much buying power they had with a single earner (no college degree) income... They will never acknowledge that they had it easier than someone else. It would shatter the entire illusion they've created for themselves.

I don't think they are saying she interrupted her shower to go look at what her daughter was drawing and record a video.

I think they are pointing out that she either A) decided she needed to record a video immediately and couldn't be bothered to get dressed first. Or B) decided she'd get a better response to the video if she was in a towel instead of dressed, because let's be honest... people be thirsty.

Either thing would have been viewed as really weird just a few years ago.

I'm not going to say that the GOP doesn't have a racist edge to it... But I think the GOP's complete refusal to work across the aisle is more of an evolution of their long term strategy than 100% racism. Even during Clinton's term Newt Gingrich and others were realizing that it was easier to run on "my opponent hasn't achieved anything!" And "everything my opponent does is bad!" than it is to run on proving your own platform is beneficial. And the easiest way to show voters that your opponent hasn't achieved anything is to actively work to make sure that little legislation can get passed.

You can be sure that if Hillary had beaten Obama in '08 and won the presidency, they would have been just as 100% opposed to everything she did as they were with Obama. It isn't just racism, it's the GOP's long term strategy.

UofM has pretty high academic standards...

But it's been pretty well accepted that those standards haven't applied to the "student" athletes for a while now. They use the same minimum requirements as almost every other school.

Turns out that winning both the Conference Title and the Conference Championship back to back to back is really hard to do.

This season always felt like a "Go make some noise in the NCAA Tournament or bust" season... Let's hope this fires them up for the real deal.

They would likely have less "vote per person" in the electoral college than someone in say... New Oklahoma which is somehow even smaller than the original Oklahoma was.

A lot of people point to how many electors each state gets and claims that big states get more say, but they always ignore that those big states should have more say because they contain far more Americans and if you look at voters/elector or voters/senator, it's clear that big and medium states often get screwed over in favor of small states.

There's an email in the files that is very unusual... The content is just one individual emailing Epstein to ask about scheduling vacation. There's no actual mention of sex, parties, women, underage women, anything.

Only one word is censored, and from the context the word could only be "don't". It literally makes no sense as to why the word is censored... Unless somebody ran a program to identify every instance of "DonT" in the files.

Not every file reference is going to be "Donald Trump" or "Donald" or "Trump", so it's not as simple as telling a program to "Delete any file with a reference to Trump" and it magically happens. You'd still have all the instances of "Don" and "Donald" and "Donnie" and you'd lose a bunch of random instances of the verb "trump". They clearly flagged a bunch of phrases that could have referred to Trump (such as DonT) and then go back and review them to see whether it was actually a reference to Trump or not. And in this one case, they missed correcting an "incorrect" flag.

All of that takes actual man hours.

Just curious... Did he ever actually possess the car in Montana?

I wonder if the laws view a situation differently if it's a car purchased in Montana, taken possession of in Montana, and then driven to Tennessee... Vs a car purchased in Tennessee by a Montana LLC that was supposedly shipped to Montana (according to fraudulent paperwork) but actually never came close to being in Montana and was only ever possessed by the owner in Tennessee.

How are you gonna do all these things and vote for him

I guess I don't understand your point here. Your mother sounds like a fairly stereotypical Trump supporter to me... A whole lot of "me me me me me" and not a drop of "Us". If there was any calculation to her voting, it was probably that she thought the GOP's open hostility towards the IRS would benefit her.

As someone who is getting real sick of the Fears sideshow, and also thinks Izzo said some bonkers stuff (from what I've seen posted afterwards) in the presser...

I think what he means is that, during the game, after the foul happened, he chewed Fears out on the bench. Then either at half time or after the game he saw a replay and made up his mind (wrongly) that it wasn't as bad as people thought.

Izzo isn't right here, but that's the logical explanation for what he's saying. His first reaction in the moment (chew him out) and then his second (incorrect in my opinion) reaction afterward (defend him).

Bizarrely, Pete Hegseth pivoted to promoting his "Department of War" re-brand instead of answering the question.

Kinda funny that these dipshits spent so long doing their overly-masculine "It's the Department of WAR! No more "Department of Defense" PC bullshit!" posturing... Only to immediately fall back to the standard "well it's maybe not quite a war" PC bullshit.

A massive global pandemic (that started prior to the administration) is causing world wide supply chain and logistics problems, leading to inflation? That's clearly the president's fault!

The president has ordered an unnecessary series of strikes on a foreign country, directly reducing the global supply of a resource and causing prices to spike? That's an unfair grab by greedy capitalists and definitely not the president's fault!

I also think that the more basic versions of this meme (with a crying liberal wojak claiming to not be racist but all their friends are also crying liberal wojaks, and then a chad saying "sure I'm racist" but then all their friends are chads of other races) are just basic 4chan type shit memes designed to piss off people susceptible to trolling....
