Oh, then what was the point?

What made what Trump do any different then say the Clinton campaign improperly classifying campaign expenditures, Obama doing the same on top of purposefully misclassifying thousands of donations from foreign entities? What made those offenses fine worthy, but what Trump did a felony?  Let's also note that the Clinton campaign was headquartered in NY.

We weren't discussing the merits of the charges, it was anecdotal evidence of as someone who previously publicly endorsed, at the very least the direction of the republican party under trump, who now seems to be all the way out, for what looks like a couple of reasons.

A cabal of felons. 

Colin Cowherd . . . The Voice of #blueanon?

"Prosecutors Got Trump But They Contorted the Law,” explained Honig in New York Magazine. “The charges against Trump are obscure and nearly entirely unprecedented,” he said. “In fact, no state prosecutor— in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime against anyone for anything. None. Ever.”

"Both of these things can be true at once: The jury did its job, and this case was an ill-conceived, unjustified mess. Sure, victory is the great deodorant, but a guilty verdict doesn’t make it all pure and right,"

"'But they won' is no defense to a strained, convoluted reach unless the goal is to 'win,' now, by any means necessary and worry about the credibility of the case and the fallout later."

Elie Honig - NY Magazine

That's not the point though, now isn't?

Part of me thinks that the more times he can be found guilty, between now and November, the better for Don.

explain to me how this makes sense in your head

Part joke, part the observation that the more things that happen that should blatantly disqualify him from public support the more popular he seems to get.

If that were literally true Trump wouldn’t appeal, wouldn’t defend these cases etc.  but it’s not, maga just thinks if they rage cry repeat enough the cases will go away.  Like “hahaha I actually like to get my ass kicked, keep banging my wife it actually makes her like me more”

Appealing and defending the cases keeps it in the news. The more guilty verdicts, the more persecuted Trump is. If Trump just accepted them, it would take away from the persecution narrative.

The problem is this only works for those already in the cult. There's what I'd assume to be a significant portion of his 2020 voting block who have had enough. His game now is all about appealing to his base, but that's not going to get him to win, he needs dudes like this.

Problem is that now, just one election cycle later, he's fed up.

So Colin Cowherd was wrong in 2022, but he's right now?

He was clearly wrong in 2022, he's clearly done with Trump in 2024. Maybe he's done with Trump because he was so wrong two years ago, either way, it doesn't matter a single bit.

I think the most thing Cowherd said there is "...it's not bad for me and my friends."

What are you doing here? Why do you keep trying to form and change the narrative, like who are you trying to convince? He said trump is a felon who has surrounded himself by other felons. He used the term "cabal of convicts" to describe trump and his circle. How much stronger of a repudiation do you need? Clearly to you, that isn't that big of a deal, I'm guessing that Cowherd didn't use that language publicly because he still feels the same way about trump.

Does no one in this thread realize that Trump got more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016? 63,000,000 turned into 74,000,000+. And while some of those people have died off, a lot more people are going to turn out as an anti-Biden vote. The reason he won in 2016 is because no one was excited to turn out to vote for Hilary, and this year will have the same issue. Not to mention that many of the people that came out in 2020 to vote anti-Trump will be less motivated to turn out this year.

I was with you until that last sentence.

It’s nut(s) that with how shitty biden is or is alleged to be, that republicans couldn’t get anyone adequately tolerable to whip his ass in this thing.

It's equally nuts the dems can't find a suitable replacement for Biden.  It's like both parties have run out of viable candidates and have said eff it.

There are plenty of people willing to be president and could do a decent job, it's not rocket science. One party ceded itself to a cult and the other has it's head far too up it's own ass.

I don't think more people are going to vote for Trump this time, I think a lot less people are going to vote for Biden.

I'm not sure that many people voted for Biden in 2020. You can bet your ass the number of people voting against trump isn't going to decrease.

It's very different. We've never had any success in baseball and we're never going to have any sustained success so hoping for Pete to get mumped isn't really the same as it is in football and basketball. We're always going to have the resources resembling a middling AAC program, no matter who our coach is. It's what makes Pete so frustrating is that he's really maximizing recruiting but he's underachieving once he gets the talent here. Just enjoy what we have and hope we can make an unforseen run every few years or so. This is never going to look appreciably better. The only reason why we never Iowa State'd baseball is that we literally can't drop another sport.

@WillieWatanabe still listening? Their season 9 recaps have really pissed me off, they're so goddamn whiny. I'm glad it's finishing if I'm being honest.

LOL yes i am. I'm a few behind. I was going to search out my own reviews of the season in this thread to see if I hated that much.

I agree, they are being way over the top. Zach is essentially just pissed he's not in it anymore and when he is, his acting is atrocious.

Yeah, Donald is doing the same. He even admitted that he was mad he wasn't getting monologues and the first one he got in the season, he didn't like.

Scrubs - Med School

:|    Really don't want to discuss this. I enjoyed a couple episodes..."Our First Day of School", "Our Role Models", "Our White Coats."

Lucy just wasn't a great lead character; really enjoyed Drew, Cole, and of course Denise. While i understand them giving this a shot, it will always end at Season 8 for me and I'm OK with that.

OK maybe I didn't care for it either.

I probably shat on it then too, but rewatching it now, I see it in a much better light. Frankly, it's just as good as season 7.

Kansas State Football / Re: Football Recruiting Thread

« on: May 24, 2024, 11:05:49 AM »

Well if football is anything like basketball, high school recruits aren't anywhere close to as valuable as proven college athletes. Couple that with football freshmen not expected to make much of an impact, Cure is more of a sure bet to red shirt than he is to be an impact player in '25. Finally, the position, of all the offensive skill positions, tight ends are the most interchangeable and have the least impact. You could make the argument that every single defensive position is more impactful than the tight end.

We know Oregon isn't going to give him a big bag, he's supposedly third on their board. I guess it's possible that KU and K-State could get in a bidding war, but I don't see Klieman doing that. Cure is infinitely more important for KU than he is for us, simply because of the symbolism, they need the in state win.
