The “us versus them” game on both sides of the isle and the electorate is killing us. And most is over ideological things that really have no effect on our daily lives. Ain’t nobody winning except the politicians. The rest keep taking the L and most don’t even know it.
Donald Trump is already preparing for a possible Democratic victory in the midterm elections and has explained what he intends to do if Democrats win.
His plan is remarkably simple: “If there’s political gridlock, I’ll veto everything. And the Democrats would come to negotiate.”
In other words, even if Democrats take control of Congress, Trump expects to turn divided government into a tool of pressure: blocking their legislation with presidential vetoes until they agree to negotiate on his terms.
But there’s one important detail.
If Democrats win the House of Representatives, they will be able to block Trump’s legislative agenda, exercise control over federal spending, summon administration officials to hearings, and investigate his administration. Presidential vetoes cannot stop congressional oversight or investigations.
And if Democrats also win the Senate, they will gain additional power to delay or block judicial nominations and appointments of senior government officials.
So the reality might look very different from Trump’s vision of “I veto everything, and they come begging for a deal.”
Instead, America could face years of legislative deadlock, budget battles, and congressional investigations.
Trump, however, is already presenting the possibility of political paralysis as another negotiating advantage.
If he cannot govern the country on his own terms, he can always try to hold it hostage instead.
That's pretty much the idea.
The 1st 3rd &13 we got a FG. 17-17. Makes sense to be cautious as sack takes you out of range. Second 3rd &10. Why run. You’re punting if no 1st down. A sack doesn’t change anything. 17-17 game. A 1st down puts you across midfield. Then you go win game. That’s the bad one
Arkansas handed off on 3rd & 13 and 3rd & 10 in the 4th quarter Saturday. Neither converted.
Since 2019, the designed run converts 20% on 3rd & 10–12 vs 27% for a pass, and 7% vs 17% on 3rd & 13+. Only the QB keeper beats the throw.
The two calls were not equal ⬇️

This is a great answer but the important point is that this is not something you do in the moment. You have to PRACTICE for the moment so when it happens know exactly what to do. Begin Again.
Cowboys rookie DB Caleb Downs when asked about the Lamar Jackson throw to Zay Flowers to set up the Ravens’ game-winning field goal: “He had a 25-, 26-yard dig and caught the ball. That’s what it is.”
Downs on the defense’s play overall: “I think we did a lot of good things, but we also have a lot of things to clean up. So, that’s the way that we’re always going to look at it in terms of improvement and in terms of trying to get better. So, yeah, more to clean up.”
Downs on the field in Rio: “I wore seven stud (cleats). At the beginning of the game, it was good. But at the end of the game, it was pretty much just dirt out there. I can’t make excuses about it. Still got to go out and do our jobs.”

Tried to balance production, upside, role, two-way impact and what I think these guys become this year.
Definitely some hot takes in here.

No big fish would even consider this job. We had to go 2-3 deep last three hires. This is a bottom 4
Job in SEC. It’s a death sentence. Got to find a coordinator or a D2 guy that’s the dude. They exist but hard to find . Want to be Indian then find another Cignetti.
@chasehoganjone1 OR…. And hear me out… Hunter is fired soon. We make a strong hire for new AD and lock in significant NIL resources. New AD has a chance to land a big fish. We buy out RS (who should never have been hired) and make a splash hire to coach our Hogs next year.
So Lindsay Clancy took her children into the basement one by one and killed them.
She took Dawson, her 3-year-old, down first and strangled him with an exercise band. She did this in the office, probably so Cora wouldn’t see him.
Then came Cora, just 5 years old, followed by 8 month old Callan. Three children. One by one.
I can’t stop thinking about what those children may have experienced in their final moments. They were completely dependent on the person who was supposed to protect them.
There are people loudly rallying around Lindsay and portraying her as the victim in this case.
Cora, Dawson, Callan are the victims. They are the three people who lost their lives.
Yes it sucks. But it’s not HY fault, it’s the market. We live in the NIL & revenue share 🌍. To be competitive thats an extra $15 mil 🏀 & prob $20+ mil 🏈 and $5+ mil ⚾️. This is over the normal budget. You have to find every possible 💵 to compete If you want to win.
I know I’m likely going to lose my spot on the Hot Corner, but that’s not even what’s truly important here.
Baum has already lost much of its atmosphere outside of SEC weekend games because so many of our seats are already owned by corporations who let them go empty, or by people trying to turn a profit by asking $200 a seat for midweeks. This plan is about to make it worse.
So many of our fans budget and give up other activities to be able to spend their time at Baum - it’s more than baseball - we’re as much family to each other as anything. This move has effectively finished pushing folks with an average income in our state right on out of the opportunity to be a part of the magic.
Yes, the current environment has changed the game dramatically and we likely aren’t done. But, like many other things he’s in charge of, this reeks of the “first, easiest solution” rather than trying to find something that works.
Abysmal failure, HY
College kid under 21 in a bar with a little weed. He was 1 of hundreds doing same thing that night. He got caught. He a 🐗 🏀 player. News. Mistake yes. Death penalty no.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson on Senator Jon Ossoff: You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help. You talk to Republicans in Houston County, very Republican part of the state, they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn't care that they're Republican. If they need something, he's going to get it done.
it’s very telling of the modern-day republican party that not a single republican politician, not even bernie moreno, has publicly called on max miller to resign
