I love both doubles and singles, to me they are much different games and take different play styles. I applaud the USTA for trying to bring doubles to the forefront. I talked about mixed doubles to a non-tennis fan for probably the first time. Maybe the solution is just offer a bigger payout.
Do people just not listen to the lyrics of songs?
No problem, it is good news that this is the best polling number using the most rosy electorate possible and the Rs are still way down. Winning back VA is critical to success in 2026.
No, he means pegged to the 2021 electorate. They are assuming the same electorate that Youngkin won which would be the most ideal R electorate.
This would be a helpful feature.
I don’t think you understand what passive aggressive means, let me correct that, you clearly don’t know what passive aggressive means, as me calling you a tool is obviously confronting, but I am not sure your “pure blood” intellect has the capacity to understand that.
Besides being a tool is there another reason you use the plural for Republicans and not for Democrats?
I for one love the new logo, does it make me want to eat there? Well, no. But it does make me laugh that this will be a leading story on Fox News for a few days until the next distraction from the tariffs ruining the economy gets pushed out of the true echo chamber.
Did he just discover the movie Man of the Year exists?
I disagree, I may be wrong, but I think we can be more. We (or I) left Twitter because it became a Nazi cesspool, but if you act like a Nazi, you get attention there. We have the ability to influence narratives without using the tricks and tactics our opponents use to get attention.
We should, we should care, we should be better. When the opposition is garbage, it doesn’t mean we should also be garbage, rather we should be able to point out the garbage, and avoid being it ourselves. We, Charlotte, our side, is better, that is my point.
The criticism is that we should rightfully bash the NYT, et al. when they publish a headline that isn’t supported by the story. Clickbait should be rightfully derided, we, you, are better then clickbait, is my point.
Crappy headlines, are still bad, posting a clickbait headline even when I agree with the point is still a bad thing. Charlotte is better than this.
I think stop defending the intentional starvation of children would be a great start, it is something you can do right now, personally.
She should actually be in jail because she murdered Bloomberg on that debate stage.
If this could just come to Switch 2.
Someone needs to write a piece in the Atlantic about how this is happening everywhere and we should fear it.
I think the answer here is no, there is no context.
Often to get legislation passed you need give and take, putting unrelated things, but still helpful for a congressional district in a bill adds votes and increases likelihood of passage. Farm bills with SNAP is a perfect example of this, two areas benefit.
My daughter’s chemistry teacher this year was the head football coach, he is probably the best chemistry teacher I ever met, and he guided the team to second place in the state, so he fits category A.
We are pissed at them because they are our leaders representing our party and we voted for them. They have a tool and want to remain cordial so they don’t use it. Put a block on every judge and nominee, it was done to us repeatedly under Biden and Obama.
The Senate rules require debate on nearly everything, and often taking an action requires another action which means more debate is needed, and cloture votes take precedence. This is why stopping unanimous consent is a massive tool for the minority and not even one Dem senator uses it.
I lived in the city for years before moving out to Elmhurst. The library is an absolute gem, from the museum passes to summer programs, it is a wonderful place to enjoy summer in the city.
Quoting Hamilton at them actually makes them even more reactionary!
I saw these guys in Harrisburg, PA this afternoon!
I bartended that day and never made so much money. It was 5 deep for 10 hours.
So it is a police car and likely a police officer?
Is it wrong that I mostly follow your account for Oreo takes?
The people most sure that Chicago is currently on fire or recently burned to the ground by mobs live in Naperville.
And only 2 SEC teams.
This has always bothered me, if the county/state you live in goes 59-40 for a candidate you dislike, punishing the whole county/state hurts the 40% who voted how you want. Collective punishment is not just morally wrong, we (humanity) outlawed in with the Geneva Conventions.
Or the people who respond to a question on Amazon with, “I don’t know, I have never used it.”
The irony is we have been giving them these very things but are so bad at utilizing the media environment that they have no idea. Most elected Dems spend most of their days worrying about finding a wall to hide behind rather then finding a hill, any hill to fight for and show it.
Here is the problem with this, many of the college towns vote how you want them too, their county may have swung 57-43, but that is still 43% of the voters who get hurt and didn’t vote for this. Also the people who did vote for it, won’t see themselves as having caused it.
Seeing how many people are able to do what they love with ADHD and be successful, gives me so many examples to point at for my 11 year old daughter and say, “Look you can do anything you want, ADHD is one of the many parts of you that makes you, well you.” Thanks for sharing this.
This is the perfect reply.
It's like you can't align with a world historical bigot who decided to invest her entire life in torturing the most vulnerable people in her country without someone noticing. We must be so careful.
I would legitimately shell out the 10 bucks a ticket to see this.
This is how my oldest found the Percy Jackson series, we asked our local librarian for an alternative to Harry Potter, and she specifically listed it as being inclusive. There are so many amazing artists out there willing to take the simple step of not being against basic human rights.
I mean, eating more then one slice is a lot.
Terrible people can make enjoyable art, but part of being a decent person means that you stop supporting and enjoying things that terrible people make.
It is legitimately the worst.
If voters want Republican policies they will vote for Republicans. Dems really need to learn this message.
This would be the karma treat we all deserve.
You can also vote for the NDP keeping the conservatives out of power, it really is a dumb take.
They have multiple parties, you can vote for the NDP and force the liberals to work with them and push them where you want them to go, this is how parliamentary systems work.
You would figure they would have taught her better at the elite boarding school she attended, alas you can’t buy a soul.
This really feels like they want to be relevant again, and they know they aren’t.
I had this in my yard. It has been time to primary him for a long while.
What do your mean, great, if you just ignore their Q1 revenue and sales way under production capacity.
I don’t know man, 5 children per mother seems like it is significantly above replacement levels.
Notice that him standing up for basic human rights not only costs him nothing, it helps him, it builds him a loyal fan base. This should be a perfect example to our elected officials that standing up for basic human rights is not just the right thing to do, it is a winning position.
We need to primary him, he has become a disappointment.
They made their bed for years, they wasted the access and credibility they had, now they get to lay in it.
The issue that many have is that when the press had that access it was used to get on TV and asking about things like Biden’s age. They downplayed outright lies and falsehoods from Trump. The press lost it’s credibility on it’s own, not because of anger from the left.
Obviously eating crumpled up pages of the Jacobin.
If using a red herring is a good retort you may need to reconsider your sophomoric attempts to degrade those pointing out the weakness of your argument; as they have a much better comprehension of basic argument structure which is taught on a middle school level.
You responded to a post with criticisms of political repression in China by asking the poster to look at an account about daily life in China, what that account don’t do is address the posters original point about repression. I’m not sure if criticism of reading comprehension is your best argument.
The easiest one is denying unanimous consent, which the Dems just gave up 60 seconds after he was done. This was a great thing and then completely wasted as soon as it was done.
Because they think they will be in charge again, and that a party that sees them as actual vermin to be eliminated will suddenly want to work with them.
Yes it would, the very same one.
Is this written by the head of the university where some of his students beat a guy they lured there? Maybe his needs to look inside his own university first?
At least one of our Illinois Senators is showing some spine. Good for her!
Seriously, Creature From the Black Lagoon is one of the best they show ok #svengoolie
Amazing what billions in oil money can do.
A place where you can pet capybaras.
This is amazing!
We don’t hate them, we just demand they have a spine, which seems like a bridge too far for them.
We
I am not sure if I would want to share a tent with people who didn’t think I have a right to exist, again that is just me, but basic human dignity doesn’t seem like too high of a requirement for Dems to need to get over.
He has to have someone take the fall so he can sell his shares.
Roses are red Violets are blue
It is so sad that even Doug would not write it mocking the Times.
The problem with our current leadership is they just can’t imagine it happening here, so they need to keep coming up with the next red line that needs to be crossed so they can ignore what is right in front of them.
We need to primary them both, Durbin in ‘26 and Chuck in ‘28
Oh no, I want him to run and get absolutely destroyed. I will then want to see if FEC fillings to know who gave to his campaign so we can blacklist them forever.
Durbin betrayed Illinois by voting to end debate on the Continuing Resolution. He doesn’t represent Illinois and it is time for him to go! #PrimaryDurbin #Durbin #Illinois #TimeForChange
You make them kill the hostage so everyone sees what the costs are. You make them own it. They are going to do it anyway, it is why the U.S. government doesn’t negotiate with kidnappers, it gives them legitimacy and encourages the behavior to continue.
But fairness??!!!??
It would have been really nice if she had been, losing while upholding your values is significantly better than losing while selling out the people who are being unfairly attacked which looks like the Newsom plan.
The only good thing about Newsom is that he makes JB Pritzker look better and better.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Dick Durbin
This is a vitally important point. Blue states will be specifically targeted because cruelty is the point, not some deeper policy goal.
He is the type of guy who hires a consultant to make everyone prove their importance before downsizing them and reporting record profits weeks later.
They were in the Summit for a while too. They have always had this idea they are a sleeping giant in football, and I don’t understand where they got this idea from.
Moving to the Mountain West in football is dumb, but the Horizon is mediocre teams all around the Great Lakes, they are a perfect fit geographically.
That is when we started to primary pro-war senators. The mistake party leadership took from ‘08 was that the party had moved far enough, and they used ‘10 as an excuse to try and tread back to center. If our elected leaders don’t lead, then we need to primary them for people who will.
#Svengoolie
But that doesn’t fit the idea they are Dems if not for the loss of the job at the mill/mine/factory.
Too many articles in the NYTimes about a diner in the Midwest for them to see beyond this type of messaging.
Please Dems in leadership, I beg you, please stop making Will right. Please, you can control the narrative, you can fight back. The fact that you are so amazingly unprepared for this moment and also are making this man seem like a prophet is hurting my soul.
#Superbowl
Even Ontario is throwing punches!
This is a great burn!
Seriously, remembering when the right thought Obama was a Manchurian Candidate?
Child Sexual Abuse Material (had to google that one myself) and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
That is very fair, I think redemption is possible, but they committed the original sin of giving us so many of the Federalist Society judges that brought us to this point. I think that should not be forgotten, however we are going to need allies to get back from this brink, and you are right.
Don’t ever forget that they were the first to normalize this shit 20 years ago. They helped bring this on us all.
They don’t want them to chill, they just want them to stop calling and demanding they do anything. They would like them riled up so they can get reelection contributions from them.
