Re: Charges

So, Draft Dodgin Donnie assumes the name of unindicted co-conspirator 1. Again. At some point, the stacking-up state level charges (more likely to come) - which are not pardonable by Trump even if he wins (which he won't) - are going to result in one or more of the named co-conspirators singing.

Re: Charges

One of the better MAGA magic tricks is turning the fact of voluminous (or “unprecedented”) charges into support for the notion that they’re baseless.

Re: Today In: FAFO

I'm meeting my daughter for lunch tomorrow and we had discussed going to the Columbia restaurant in St. Armand Circle (Sarasota), but we won't be going there now. Which is sad, because it's a really good restaurant. It’s worth noting — he says he still supports Ron DeSantis and is “proud of everyth...

To be fair, not going to class was a lot of the best parts about college.

Re: 2024/2025 Lineup

Curry was during the year where NIL became legal. Tre White decommited in December - 2 seasons before he would have played at KU. Markese Jacobs decommited in August, a full season before he would have played at KU. And by 'fuck him if he doesn't want to play here' I just don't think it's the way y...

The Suns are trying to win, like, 2013-14. I don't mean the specific players, but the whole plan.

Recruits have always flaked on their commitments when better recruits were brought in. This isn't new. Come on dude. I've been a KU fan since I could remember. I started a message bored. Don't do that - this is obviously different. I only remember a few instances like the Chris Johnson and Labaron ...

Re: Charges

It won't hurt him with his cult, I mean, base, which is ~ 40% of the electorate. But it certainly could hurt him with independent voters, which could be huge. I said this a week or two ago, but relevant again here - I think I misunderstood the possible impact of convictions. I still don’t think the...

If having to compete for minutes "makes" him want to leave then it is not a loss at all. I don't want guys who feel they are owed minutes. I mean, I have no idea what certain guys, whether here yet or not, think they're owed. But there are 100ish guard minutes to go around in 24-25, and I...

Re: Charges

I wonder if a guilty verdict would do damage at the ballot box. It obviously should!

There’s going to be a not-insignificant number of people - thousands? tens of thousands? more? - who will go bankrupt (which means we all pay) over this devotion.

Re: Charges

^^^^^^ i think there is a small, but not insignificant number of moderates and independents that just won’t vote for a convicted felon I think there’s also a LOT of social (and family) pressure on boomers and Xers to dump Trump. I could absolutely see people in that cohort use these “fake Biden pro...

Could be seeing this through anti-orange glasses, but I think Biden will get a hell of a lot more of that 6.8% than Trump will get of Haley’s 16.5%.

Does anyone actually care that he paid a pornstar hush money to keep quiet they had sex? Seems pretty par for the course for famous people. Everything requires an NDA it seems.

It's not nearly the worst thing he did during his presidency ( tried to overthrow the Democracy ) but whatever sticks. The issue of course is that he did this to win the presidency in the first place. Was the underlying act itself that big of a deal? Suppose that’s between people and their god(s). ...

I thought it was very odd that Trump posted the other day that this trial is in fact about election interference. Not “hush money.” Sort of undercuts the eventual downplaying he will do, of a conviction on election interference.
