LA is burning and MAGA is not only gleeful about it, but also yammering on about buying Greenland, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, and annexing Canada.

These are not serious people.

@DavidEickholt Buying the floor where Illinois went 2-0 and beat Iowa to reach the Final Four is an all-time L for Iowa.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@theblockspot @HOHBigPhil Then give Illinois more credit. They beat a great team in their home city.

@krassenstein What’s more likely?
That Trump is crazy enough — as the sitting president — to call C-SPAN and vent about the tariff ruling?
Or that a Trump impersonator got on the air as a joke?
The fact that you would have to think about speaks volumes. #25thAmendmentNow

@MysterySolvents @deejay90192 I mean, look at him. High school couldn’t have been easy for that dude.

@RepAndyBiggsAZ I’m guessing Andy is in the files

In 365 days of Trump:

- he doubled his family’s net worth
- billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer
- his 20 wealthiest political donors got ~$380 billion richer

while…

Food prices ⬆️
Utilities ⬆️
Healthcare ⬆️
Housing ⬆️

Just in case you didn’t understand the scam yet.

@USA_Polling @Brian_Chovanec This is how we lose. Let the republicans divide themselves this time.

@secnumbersguy Looking for the SEC in the championship game this year, last year, the one before that…

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@SeaBVue @MikeHallHere So the new way to insult IU is to whine about their average age? They are winning and playing by the rules. Anyone could do just that if they wanted.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@cruzananddiet @CPY87 @MikeHallHere Tennessee was ranked all season. And now they are just mediocre? You SEC goofballs and B1G haters just need to learn to cope a little. Beating Duke, USC, and Tennessee is a pretty good season for a lot of teams. That makes Illinois a top 20 team or so.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@theScore @michaelirvin88 Does he ever not appear coked up?

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@secnumbersguy Cool. Now do Tennessee from this season. Ranked all year without one notable win.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@TheRealCruzOx There was a lawsuit about this. The smaller conferences won access. The committee didn’t do this… it’s a byproduct of that lawsuit, the format of the playoff, and Duke beating Virginia in the ACC (plus the ACC’s tiebreakers that put Duke into the conference title game).

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@SenRickScott @RepPfluger Maybe if it wasn’t so easy to game the system, eh Rick?

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@bennyjohnson But let me guess…
You love felons when they are in the Oval Office?

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@Victoria00025 Combining the criminality of Nixon, the dementia of Reagan, and the stupidity of W… hopefully never again!

@ChadMG1720 @BruceFeldmanCFB @dpshow The lobbying the ACC did on behalf of Miami was in part focused on the H2H vs ND, which ND took as favoring someone else over them. Stuff like this:

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@ChadMG1720 @BruceFeldmanCFB @dpshow They lobbied for Miami and (arguably) disparaged ND in the process. ND is probably understanding the lobbying, but pissed about the disparaging.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@SenJohnKennedy Biden gets blamed for post-COVID era inflation that was legitimately global (and better in the US than other major economies). So what would you have done differently than Biden to prevent inflation like we had then?

I never heard a single idea from Republicans.

[Smitter @Smitter11]

@Tagliareni55048 @RossBrian30643 @chrisfallica @CanesInSight They offer a lot more TV contract money than the ACC does. And that’s why schools change conferences.
