We are already seeing the rationalizing of how we got here and the blaming of the political party that, though flawed, actually reflects multiracial democracy. We must resist this. Voters knew exactly who Trump was and chose him anyway. This is not about the so-called excesses of the left. As the NYT editorial board writes, Trump ran the "most racist, sexist, and xenophobic campaign in modern history." As NYT reporter Lisa Lerer wrote today, "This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history." This is the unsparing truth that we must confront.
Let’s not forget that the real villain in all this is the NCAA for having decades to prepare for this, fighting it every step of the way, and providing no competent oversight or leadership on the issue at any point. 🙏
There might be a fan base this year that will take more joy out of a win than @WSUCougarFB in the Apple Cup. It’s been a long year. Left behind in realignment. But celebrating tonight. Congrats to the Cougs. 3-0.
Heard there be a skirmish on the Palouse tomorrow when the sun sinks. Sending reinforcements. 🏴☠️
If ye be headed to Pullman to watch the Cougs protect their turf, make sure ye sail the roads with caution and plan for plenty o' time to reach yer destination. #GoCougs@WSUCougarFB
ROAD TO MINSHEW MANIA: The story of Gardner Minshew's career is a bit ironic. The man who grabs attention and eyes - while simultaneously being overlooked.
The road to Vegas has been a long one for Minshew Mania. Now that it's here - it opens a door he's waited a lifetime for. #Raiders
