Good, I hate this idea.

And before the obvious digs against graphic novels, Watchmen was the only graphic novel on Time’s 2005 list of greatest novels of all time. It is amazing.
Just to be clear, this guy has written some amazing comics. He may very well be a kook and a crank now, but he wrote Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman the Killing Joke, among others. I can’t speak for his Rasputin or wizarding abilities, but he is a gifted writer.
re: Supreme Court: Missouri congressional map ping pong

Missouri fricked itself over by not following it's own state constitutional processes in the first place. A citizen initiative amendment passed last year to place the proposed ballot to a state wide vote and the Missouri SoS decided to ignore the results.
It is exactly this. This is a problem of the Missouri SOS’s own creation. He was warned using the maps in the primary would be risky. He decided to take the risk and then complained when the court slapped his hand for it. It didn’t need to be confusing. He decided to make it that way.

Voting for Paxton, abstaining from congressional race. I hope Troy Nehls loses
Given the fact Troy is not on the ballot, I’m at least confident he won’t win.

The B1G probably wouldn't accept LSU, because LSU is not an AAU member institution.
This is the answer. The Big 10 won’t touch LSU because of our academics. We don’t have the stroke to go alone. ACC is best case scenario if we are booted.

No, it is a fried pastry available at a donut shop, but that does not make it a donut.
I read an article the other day about the trial of John Brown and how he was found guilty of essentially treason against Virginia. He had never lived in VA in his entire life. The argument was he owed allegiance to the commonwealth when he entered the state.
The point was this was maybe the most famous trial in American history to that point, and it took place roughly 14 years prior to the drafting of the 14th Amendment. The author’s point is the drafters would have had that concept of allegiance in mind when drafting.
It’s an interesting article. I’ll give the link below. It’s from Slate which is left, so some people will refuse to even read or engage with it. I think it’s good to see how courts were interpreting this concept of allegiance back then.

I saw something the other day on Twitter...I think from Jamie Dupree, that said the talking filibuster allows each senator 2 different 3 hour blocks of time to speak on the main bill and any questions/amendments. With the SAVE act there are or were 7 open questions, so if each of the 47 Democrat senators used their full allotment of time (47x6x7) there would be 1,974 hours, or just over 82 days. And, I believe, that the Senate could never adjourn, because the 2 speech rule resets each new business day.
Not just this either. The democrats would be able to add their own amendments which also can be debated under the same rules. There is no effective end game to the talking filibuster. The democrats just continually add new things and the clock starts over. I know people will say just change the rules, so you can’t do that. That’s getting rid of the filibuster. The votes aren’t there for that. No one has gamed out how the talking filibuster leads to a win with these constraints.

You have to provide a link with reputable reporting to back this up. What you wrote is horrible if true, but we need more than a trust me bro.

That makes no sense if Paxton is polling higher than Cornyn. Cornyn can beat Talarico and Paxton can't?
The idea is moderates will find Cornyn acceptable but not Paxton. If the moderates/independents break against Paxton, and he is definitely more polarizing than Cornyn, then Paxton has an issue.

Exactly. See how excited people got about this "ruling". We must be reminded from time to time what we are up against.
Are you still under the impression this is a new ruling?
The worst thing is Trump reposting it. Did he think there was a new ruling? Wouldn’t someone have told him?

I don’t see how this ruling doesn’t get overturned by Boasberg.
Given that it’s 10 months old, you’re probably correct.
This is from last April isn’t it?

Our coach rotated kids fairly. Regardless of score or position. 2 teams in particular always had the same first baseman and shortstop. All they did was switch them back and forth but neither ever left the game.
I’ll disagree with you on first base. I coached my son in rec ball for several seasons before he started playing select which he does now. If you have kids who are capable of throwing to first, they deserve to have someone there who can catch it, assuming you have someone who can.
Additionally, it’s not fair to a kid who isn’t capable of playing first to put him in that position. He can get hurt and the other kids are resentful. I always played a good player at first. I rotated folks elsewhere. I always had great feedback from parents and kids who had a ball. There would be an optional interleague post season tournament. We were the only team to have every kid come to it and that happened multiple times. You don’t have to be the best team to create a very fun environment, but you do need to be fair and realistic.

Property Tax NEEDS TO GO. Renters send their children to school for free. Property owners who have no school age children foot the bill. People can (and have) lost their homes with this and it needs to stop.
This makes no sense. Are you under the impression that landlords do not factor in the costs of property taxes into the rents they charge? Of course they do. The tenants don’t pay it directly, but they absolutely pay it indirectly. It’s insane to believe they don’t.
re: Mike Pence refuses to rule out another run for president.

I don’t know if anyone else has commented on this but the poster Don Quixote posting this could not be more perfect as I can’t think of a more Quixotic quest than Pence running for president again. Tilting at windmills indeed.
re: Lamest celebrated tradition in sports has to be Clemson’s run down the hill?
Posted by LSU2ALA on 8/31/25 at 8:40 am to catfish 62
I don’t think it’s lame as much as stupid. You are asking some really big guys, some who are not as agile as others, to run as a group down a hill while pumped full of adrenaline. When your tradition has a downside risk of one guy slipping and tumbling forward to create a domino effect that takes out 2/3 of your 2 deep, then you may want to scrap that tradition. Just a thought.

Fairly certain this is the case. Once you open the play up for review, all parts of the play are open to review. I could certainly be incorrect about that though.
