I will donate any organ needed to keep Jerrah alive for another 10 years as long as he agrees to keep running the Cowboys.

Saw Phish live in Ardmore PA in 1988 or 89 before they were big. It was completely accidental, they were playing in a local place and I had never heard of them, but that's my flex.

Honestly surprised it took this long

a majority of the board will be his appointees until January of 2028, at which point a Democratic president should remove every one of Trump's appointees for the same cause that he cited for Cook.

I have close to infinite trust in Stoutland to help Lampkin reach his full potential, whatever that may be.

C'mon, Ken, to be fair, show me where in the bible it says anything about helping other less fortunate people? I mean, I haven't read the bible, but I saw an AI summary and it was just lyrics from Jesus Christ Superstar.

I mean seriously, I'd happily settle for 5th place on that list.

I don't think any real Dan fan is claiming they're anything close to the best musicians on Aja.

A-fucking-men, I'm the whitest middle-aged dad in history and I can completely support this

Great point, in 20 years I bet he’ll have lost like 5 miles off his fastball.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s what I’m thinking too. Like “nope sorry forgot my wallet see ya”.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm sorry, what? Putting too much in to the game plan? Chiefs got undressed and publicly spanked and he's saying they put too much in to the gameplan?

Mfer I checked out your threads feed 10 seconds ago. I live for your trolling, make this good!

How'd that work out? Did you get the skateboard? And is there a boob with your fingerprints on it?

Hope he runs in my district, I'll vote against that motherfucker 8 times.

The Huh. And also The Guess Huh

lol I am squarely "meh". On the one hand, I got the Eagles (awesome) and the Phillies (pretty great), on the other I got the Flyers (ugh, maybe trending in the right direction but probably not) and the Sixers (trainwreck).

This right here is what I'm hanging my hat on. If we're wrong, then we're totally fucked anyway so why not be optimistic?

You're making a gigantic assumption, which is that residents of neighborhoods that are "taken over" by Trump will be happier in that state. Why do you assume Americans want to live in a police state?

As a fellow middle aged dad I co-sign this; I watch the entire thing every 4 or 5 years.

He had a unique skill set and he seemed really smart. God what a fool I was.

Frankly they should go ahead and do it, and then offer to roll it back if reciprocated.

Every single one of my fellow gen x er's agree that typing was the only useful class from High School. I don't think you should generalize from Bill Simmons, he's clearly an edge case

What the fuck does “people from a place” mean? A genetics test just gives you probabilities based on comparison to other people. Race is an imaginary construct.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
What about a “Mind-numbingly stupid” person such as yourself? Same genetic makeup as well?

What if the fog didn’t roll into Chicago and the eagles win that first playoff game under Ryan. That was a really good team that year.

Fine, give him a noble prize, maybe he'll think it's the same thing as a Nobel prize.

I got a cd player in 1990 when I went off to grad school. The first four CDs I bought were Steely Dan. True story.

As a Phillies fan, this is the longest look I’ve gotten at the Yanks this year, and - hoo boy. That defense is baaaad.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
Their defense was unconscionable tonight, I’m embarrassed for the organization.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
Well of course, but what happens after that is the question. As you've laid out in this thread, I agree that there would be mass defections from the administration and a pretty rapid collapse of MAGA (and possibly the republican party is destroyed as well)
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree that he sees the path, I think he’s kidding himself.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah that tracks.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
You may well be right, but I think without Trump this whole thing collapses.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
I think what’s freaking him out the most is knowing that there are copies of all of the documents out in the wild, and someone will find them. Vance is a fucking moron who is personally insuring the scandal continues.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
I often make breakfast for dinner for the family, and i too have thought about making one bigass goddam pancake. I too am stoned out of my mind when thinking this
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that's what has Trump so genuinely panicked - he knows that the copies the DOJ has aren't the only copies out there
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
Is it just me or is that a terrible picture of Trump? He looks fat and tired.

Allow me to join the growing chorus of people who simply cannot figure out why Chris Cillizza thinks that the Democratic party - or the world - is in need of his opinions about politics

Someday - and I hope I'm alive for it - there will be a reckoning for ALL of this. I have to believe that.

And Greenblatt and the ADL will continue to cover and apologize for the administration

where on the post does it mention a podcast? It comes across as a stupid clickbait post and the reactions are in line with that perception. If there's a podcast associated with it then shame on whoever put up that stupid post.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
that's the analysis I'm looking for
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
to be clear I don't think it was racist, it just came across as typical hot-takey nick-wright level idiocy.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the thing - I didn't know it was from a podcast. The social team just threw it out there as a one off. Or at least they were intentionally inflammatory. They sure drummed up clicks. I understand now the disconnect, I hope the social team gets reamed out
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
"you people"? That's slander against me and my fellow reactionary idiot partisan football fans.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
you have to admit that to someone who's never heard the podcast or the bit, the "honorable" framing was absolute horseshit. I say this as an admittedly biased Eagles fan. That's all.
E-Roc (@dadwax.bsky.social) reply parent
You guys gonna create an "uppity" index too, for QBs who aren't respectful enough and don't know their place?

As a fan of the Phillies I would unfortunately have to vote to impeach you as commissioner. Can't get rid of the DH, that would force Schwarber into the outfield and . . . well, yikes.

Maybe you've seen the switch - these folks are now saying that the epstein files are actually CSAM and it's disgusting the democrats wanted to release it, it's actually good that Trump wants to protect us, etc.
