The expectation that LSU is going to go on the road and beat the #1 team and that anything less is evidence of a coaching debacle is funny.

Beth did a good job this year. I like the program she runs. Give her an extension.

It is neocon.

I'd bet that the large, large majority would LOVE for the Iranian conflict to come to a quick, successful end.

You are simply confused when people aren't binary thinkers. It frustrates you that Trump hasn't lost 100% support due to an issue that is overall unpopular.

Dad is a pussy.



You are half right and half wrong.

We need to find a way to protect fathers in situations like this so that their entire life isn't at risk for properly handling a situation like this.

You are right that there's no real argument that the life of the pedo should have been spared or that there is any chance of controlling his behavior. That this guy isn't already locked up forever is evidence that government isn't going to protect children from him. And that this guy had the audacity to continue coming around after already effectively being caught shows that the guy's sickness makes it impossible that he might stop being a threat.

But, unfortunately, as a father you have to evaluate protecting your kids in that very moment and against that very big threat...and keep yourself around to protect and provide for every need of your children in the future.

There are lefties in this world who would want to nail that father to the cross for protecting his children and taking care of it himself.

I don't think that's true.

I could see Evans moving to the pen and perhaps even preferring that move.

Even with that, Schmidt is in no way at this point behind Moore. People are overrating Moore because he wasn't around. He wasn't overly affective in his short SEC stint either.

And, unless you are getting a bonafide stud, you'd be looking at someone who is at best in the same category as Schmidt.

To put it another way, it's a lot more likely that Schmidt is your Friday guy than it is that he's not in the starting lineup.

I know what my premise was, and you stated it accurately.

I just don't agree that its false...



You admit it's false because MAGA isn't meeting your expectations. You are confused to the point of having to ask the question:

quote:

Why are yall upset?


The reality is that your premise is false and what you are actually doing with this thread is offering a passive aggressive way of accusing MAGA of being neocon. It's probably related to some sour grapes issue like Massie being defeated.
quote:

What's the false premise?



That MAGA is neocon and anything other than a neocon point of view is unacceptable and therefore would be something MAGA should celebrate.

Why are you pretending that you don't know what your own premise was.
quote:

Your new claim is that you’re just being contrarian for funsies and have no actual opinion about this thread?



My new claim was exactly my original claim.

I was mocking you and how illogical your post was.

Even now, what is your logical argument for your premise that voters were sending Landry a message. I mean, we both know it won't be a strong argument, but you haven't even connected the dots at all. Are you so disconnected with logic that you don't even realize it?
quote:

Even with that irrational mindset, his attempt at whataboutism didn't even do that


It was directly on point and directly to the person he's arguing with (you).

You were making a point (implying) that this isn't exoneration. He made the point that you failed to point that out when Comey made a very similar argument.

If you were smart, instead of arguing, you should have agreed with his point and pointed out that this was every bit as dumb as Comey claiming he was exonerated.

It would have continued your point. It would have put him on your side of the argument. And, it would have removed his accusation that you are a hypocrite since you would have agreed that Comey's claim was bogus.

Instead, you just solidified his point that you are a hypocrite. It is what it is.
quote:

Not shocked you can't discuss the actual story and have to attempt whataboutism



Specific hypocrisy needs to be pointed out.
quote:

Tulsi Gabbard was generally not supportive of attacking Iran.


Why are yall upset?

Take the win.



When you approach something with a false premise, you get confused when things don't add up.

This is a great example.

Based on fricking what?



Hypothetically, it could be based on the exact same conversation being had in this thread.

His own expectations for his development could be higher than what he's achieved thus far under this staff.

I'm not suggesting that's real, fair, or the right decision.
quote:

Why didn’t you post evidence supporting your emotional desire that voters are aligned with Landry?

:lol:

That wasn't my premise...it was yours.

You posted it in the OP.

quote:

He is facing a lot of backlash right now including a recall campaign


That's not serious, but this thread didn't seem to be about that...at all.

quote:

voters rejecting a second set of amendments on ballots


This is what your thread was about. Presumably, you would attempt to support that the rejection of the amendments was related to Landry...but you haven't really done that. Instead, you actually did the opposite. You pointed to the fact that Landry was going to be re-elected and also implied that the voters just disagreed with the amendments themselves:

quote:

You are certain that no one read the amendments and disagreed with them?


quote:

what is your evidence demonstrating voters are happy with Landry?



Do you think I made that claim? Where? I could argue that if I wanted. And, pointing to his probable re-election would be a good place to start. But, I haven't done anything close to that.

You seem to struggle with the basics of a logical argument. Premise, logical support for that premise, conclusion...etc.

That's awfully specific.

I'd say strong to quite strong.

He did improve and was our most consistent pitcher. I think he still has a pretty long way to go to be all sec.

TLDR: Milam would be an All American if the season started in May.



Milam is better when he sprays the ball around the field. In his last 2 years, he suffered through mid season slumps because he seemed to be trying to swing for power...only to finally adjust later in the year.

They all want to hit for power because it has become a necessity to MLB.

But, those weak fly balls that we suffered through during the middle of the year are tough to watch.

Does whatever logic you claim tell you Landry will not be re-elected?



No. My logic tells me your argument is completely illogical.

Your premise...

quote:

the overwhelming rejection of more amendments symbolizes a rejection of Landry



I think you realize that was wrong because you addressed a huge problem with your premise by pointing out:

quote:

I know he’s still going to win reelection with 11% voter turnout


It's pretty clear that your post is just an emotional desire for it to be true. I quickly browsed through 4 pages and I think the most specific argument you've made to support the premise was...

Ironically, this could mean we continue to win a NC "every other year".

Then you'd have no valid complaint.
