Jump? Bah! The standard is a back dive!

With the massive populations shifts to red states the Democrats would lose so much representation they wouldn't win the house for two decades.


Not necessarily; the population shifts aren't making places redder. The blue states go ultraviolet, and the red states become purple, or even flip.

It seems like retain and develop offers a lot more margin of error that relying primarily on the portal. If a team is counting on being able to find everything it needs every year, a few misses can be catastrophic. Retain and supplement via the portal can at least get a team to a "good enough is good enough" level.

Ray Goff was a young, 33-year-old "Georgia Man" who Dooley hoped could lead the program for decades, much like Dooley had done when he was hired at a young age.


Those hopes proved a bit overly optimistic.
There's just all of those pesky problems with consent and age and the like. Or so I hear....

Wasn't that the whole point of the song about getting licks on Route 66?

Smart's openly and repeatedly stated that he wants guys who are football players, and that the guys chasing a payday should go elsewhere. That limits the number of mercenaries who are willing to come here; it also rules out those who just want to coast and get paid.

Hopefully he skipped the "complete head case" part of the build.

Yup, now I can shut down my cross-border importation and currency transfer business and stop warring with the cartels, too. Happy days!

Budgetary constraints lol

That's rich.

"We would totally go after this case, we just don't want to spend the money!"

Yeah, okay.


If you say so. I've had civil racketeering cases where the Feds refused to get involved because the amount didn't involve enough millions. And those are clear RICO cases where the firm I worked for at the time had already done all of the investigation. There are only about 6,000 AUSAs in the whole country. They simply aren't going to devote them, or the funds, to perjury cases, when those aren't big money or big headline matters.

Makes you wonder why the Trump DOJ hasn't done it either.... doesn't it?


Perjury cases are notoriously difficult to get convictions in, though it can be done. However, when you add in the courts' general reluctance to get involved in election cases, it can become even more of an uphill fight. Beyond that, even the DOJ has budgetary and staffing constraints, and they have assigned priorities for types of cases; perjury actions would certainly be very low on that list. Arguably, they often should be higher, but bureaucracies operate under their own "logic".
quote:

That makes the continuing illegality all the more dumb, They’re leaving literal hundreds of millions in tax dollars, taxes that people would gladly pay, on the table every year by keeping it illegal.


Except that people still buy it illegally, because those selling it illegally sell it cheaper (and with possession being legal, why not go with the cheapest provider?). Same with growers - if you're not paying taxes on it, you can operate much more cheaply.

The states that legalized it expected this huge tax boost, but results have been mixed. Hell, California, being California, has even managed to lose money on it.
quote:

It’s borderline ridiculous that we’re even having to state that in 2026, nobody does.


If the state isn't getting their cut on taxes for selling it, they care quite a bit. Sorta like alcohol - if you pay taxes on it, they don't care; but sell it without paying taxes, and suddenly, they take an interest.

And "commitments" are always ironclad.
Playing in Charlotte could make some sense as a recruiting tool. Hasn't Kirby pulled a fair number of recruits from NC?
Not sure why they would use that picture to announce his commitment. Both Kirby and Temorris look like they're seeing someone get murdered right behind the photographer.
