Ignoring the trolls (with nothing better to do because their teams aren’t playing today): Gutted to lose this obviously but proud of how they played and proud of what they accomplished this season. They fought hard, Arteta had a fantastic game plan that was well-executed. We always knew this would be an uphill battle given PSG’s talent and our injuries (which forced Mosquera’s starting, although he was generally decent outside of the penalty). It’s tough to play 120+ minutes against a team that plays half the minutes Arsenal does because they can walk the league with their second team. It hurts but damn what a season. If you had told me before it all started that we would win the prem and make it to pens against PSG in a CL final I would have taken that in a heartbeat. Onwards and upwards.
Completely agree with this sentiment.
Next few years should be fun. If we defend the title it will be amazing. Given the state of affairs, I think goals over the next five years would be at least two more PL titles, 2 CL final appearances and 1 CL title finally.

re: “I saw the world from up on your shoulders” is such a hell of a line about dads

Being a dad makes life so much more vivid and it helps you look at everything in a completely different way. It gives meaning and purpose to everything you do. The responsibility is a blessing. I will forever be grateful to my Maker for what I have. And I am grateful to have had a great father.

Yeah, but neither are the senators supposed to do whatever the hell they want. They are supposed to be somewhat responsive to the voters, and that’s exactly what elections are for. The voters made it very clear in this primary election that they want to go in a different direction. Your post makes it seem like US senators should be like the House of Lords.
They are supposed to be something akin to the House of the Lords. It’s why they have 6 year terms and weren’t directly elected until 1913.
The filibuster which Trump wants to end is a sort of accidental feature of the system which serves an important role especially in today’s day and age. If the republicans end it, next time democrats win all 3 branches, it’s fricking over.

I respect the Washington Times and agree or disagree, their editorials are usually good (even if I disagree I can respect their viewpoint), but this is just silly. The Senators are NOT supposed to be like European Members of Parliament who just mindlessly vote "in line with leadership". That completely knocks the famous "checks and balances" role they play and does not make them a co-equal branch of government. The "just shuf your mouths and do what your betters at the White House tell you" has never been a part of the US system. That is the system in the House of Commons in the UK, all the other European parliaments, etc.
Agreed. Also, I’m not going to read the editorial, but I assume it has to do with blowing up the filibuster and passing the SAVE Act. That’s how you not only lose your republic, that’s how you further debase the Senate as an important institution in our constitutional order. I know no one gives a shite about any of that any more though.

You know that isn’t what is happening here substantively. Implicit in his stance is that it’s immoral or untoward for Dart to have his views or support a particular candidate, to the point of it being an outrage. Saying “yeah he has a right to his views” is just empty bullshite after trying to put him on blast, and he looks pathetic for it.
re: Legislation finally done & being put to vote to regulate College Athletics/NIL

Members of Congress don’t actually write bills. All of that stuff can be worked out in committee and with legislative staff actually writing the technical details. They are going to have hearings in June on it supposedly. It could be a debacle, struck down by the courts, etc., or it could actually be an improvement over the current disaster. Whining about them making an attempt to even go down this path is pretty dumb at this stage.
You’re probably triggered because it’s co-sponsored by Cruz though.

How the hell do they figure Paxton winning gives Talarico a shot?
Because Paxton is a criminal who got impeached by a Republican legislature

Money is an interesting topic. Gonna have to redirect funding from other battleground states to defending the criminal and trying to drag him across the finish line
Interstate funding and reimbursement for all the border bullshite come to mind off the top of my head. Good shite though mate
Great. You think the betting markets are wrong, go ahead and place your bets mate.
ETA: also wait until the electorate gets blasted with ads of Paxton taking bribes and getting impeached by a republican legislature

Oh yeah haha I am just seeing your late night melt from last night. Yeah a former majority whip has no influence.
I actually didn’t predict that although it’s possible. I said he voted for one.
What’s my prediction?
Just voted for a blue wave! Congrats
shite matters for getting money to your state and I wouldn’t call him a RINO
So, the primaries? I can’t keep up with your apparent towering intellect but maybe you can help me understand how that is relevant to the discussion in this thread?
