Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Giving up is unforgivable.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The willow is too close to the house.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

No one could have predicted…

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

When we show up, we win.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

    Screw football. (Easy to say when you’re a Gopher fan. Nice job losing the homecoming game, Goophs.) I decided that it was a good day for a drive so I’m up in Duluth to watch the Badgers and the Bulldogs square off. It would probably be better for Minnesota if UMD wins, but I just can’t root for a team coached by Shannon Miller.

    Texas looks as bad as Ryan did in the debate against Biden. I had to turn it off before I made it to halftime.

    I hope Stanford stomps Notre Dame into a mudhole, I am hardly sick of this worshiping of this tired old program, though they may be good this year. National Championship contender? Mike Golic maybe you need to ease back on your meds!

    Geez. OU is stomping a mudhole into Texas. I hope that doesn’t make WVU’s win look bad in the computer standings.

    PPP’s initial post-debate swing state polling shows voters see the debate as a draw, just like the media was telling them to believe.

    @Amir Khalid: There was a California-Arizona women’s game on this morning, but I couldn’t keep watching since they ran the clock backwards. It just annoyed me too much.

    @J. Michael Neal:

    Yaaaa J. Mike!!! No way I could ever hope any team Miller coached win anything but OTOH the badger? yuk – the only thing I’d root for is a meteor but since your there thats no good either. BTW – has she whined to the refs for 10 minutes between periods yet? She does that once a game

    On the up side the Gophers are handing St. Lawrence another whoopin’ (3-0 end of one) so thats great

    I’m getting awful feelings about this game now….

    Texas Tech’s defense is already getting through badly, and we can’t play defense…

    @Amir Khalid:

    You see it in hockey in Europe all the time. Its weird but you get used to it. Somehow though watching the clock get to 0:00 has a stronger visceral feeling then having it reach 20:00.

    Gophers just scored again to go up 4-0 on St. Lawrence. It is going to be a most entertaining winter

    @efgoldman: There is a persistent Gooper on BF claiming it’s a false flag, parsing the guys wrinkles in the back of his head trying to prove the photographer and the racist were in cahoots. It’s simultaneously sad and funny.

    But that’s the Rmoney/Ryan logo on the back of the shirt, right above the “reprehensible” slogan.

    Even the Romney campaign wouldn’t hand out shirts like that. Looks to me like the wearer added a sticker above the message.

    Went outside to do yard work because Michigan State was about to win the game against my Hawkeyes. I came back in and OMG! Iowa won in 2 OTs!

    I missed it.

    Sheesh.

    WVU -4.

    We finally got a touchdown back, but we still have no appreciable defense in the secondary.

    Soonergrunt

    @The Snarxist Formerly Known As Kryptik: No. 14-0 isn’t murdering you. That’s beating you.
    Murder would be what the Sooners are doing to the Longhorns.
    Other appropriate metaphorical language include:
    Destroy
    Annihilate
    Butcher
    Crush
    Ravage
    Mutilate
    Eradicate
    Shatter
    Snuff out
    Slaughter

    Hope this helps.

    @efgoldman:

    There was actually one pundit earlier this week projecting that Duke would play Vandy.

    The first order of business for Duke is for Renfree to get healthy. They’re neither as good as the first quarter of today’s game suggested nor as bad as they looked in the second half.

    Would be awfully cool to become bowl-eligible by beating the fookin’ Tarholes next week.

    By hockey you mean the kind played on ice, right? We don’t follow that very much here in the tropics. American football, either.

    Tuesday night’s going to be interesting.

    A draw between the US and Guatemala means that both advance, no matter what Jamaica does. OTOH, a Guatemala win knocks out the US if Jamaica beats A&B by two, and a US win knocks out Guatemala if Jamaica beats A&B by two.

    If you’re Guatemala, do you risk everything by going for the win?

    Man, it is storming in Columbia right now. The players are basically running through a swamp. And Bama’s up 21-0.

    I’ll admit I’m glad I sat it out-I’m not that big a fan.

    @raven:

    No shit. The Hokies have roared back from 20-0 in the first to up 20-34 in the 4th.

    Down 20 against Duke in the first quarter at Lane, tho.

    I definitely picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

    Gophers just went up 5-0, had a player draw a game misconduct for pulling the face mask off a Saint – wish I had video so I knew what happened!

    The Snarxist Formerly Known As Kryptik

    Yep….28-7 with just over 2 minutes in the half.

    A shitting of the bed of epic proportions, unless WVU can charge out of the gate at the start of the second half. But the way the defense is going, I give up.

    Figures.

    @Spaghetti Lee: Damn right. If you’re under a roof – and I assume you are, since you’re posting here – you’re in a better place than any of the fans who went to that one. It’s raining like a whole herd of cows pissing on flat rocks. Alabama needs to put in second/third stringers and just ride this one out. Mizzou … shit, I don’t know what they need to do. Hope lightning curtails the whole thing, I guess.

    What a beatdown. Worst performance by a Texas defensive unit in the Mack Brown era. D coordinator Manny Diaz is on the hot seat now, for sure.

    Nice three-touchdown comeback by Illinois State at home against a solid Youngstown State team.

    @Thlayli:

    That’s the smart play, but emotionally, the chance to deliver the knockout punch to El Yanqui has to be alluring. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them come out flying, and reassess if it’s tied at halftime.

    @raven: I really want South Carolina to win that one. Just to make me feel better about last week. And because I’ve heard so much SEC-East-Can’t-Carry-SEC-West’s-Jock-Strap talk.

    And Mrs. Deep Southerner is not happy with where her Gators are at right now.

    @Soonergrunt: I hope today’s game helped make up for an otherwise crappy week for you . I know that walloping the snot out of those emasculated bovine always brightens my whole week. The whorns can never lose often or badly enough to satisfy me (I’m still pissed off about letting up 2 on a botched XP, Jones’ bonehead pick-6 and two scores allowed by the second team), but today came awfully close.

    Mr. Cole, what happened to your ‘Eers? Hell, that was getting into Georgia-vs.-South Carolina territory.

    And I’d sure never have picked Steve Spurrier to be one for uniform gimmickry. The Old Ball Sack should have thought about that and then laid down until the idea passed.

    @Evolving Deep Southerner: $$$$, plus they are “Wounded Warrior Project” uni’s so I bet the organization is getting something.

    I think I enjoyed the first annual thrashing of Mizzou as much as my ole favorite the annual thrashing of Ole Miss. Next week, the annual thrashing of TN. Roll Tide Roll.

    The degree of loathing for Notre Dame on here always surprises me. Somehow I would think that a team that at least aspires to blend actual academics with football (and yes, check out the graduation rates) would cause the sort of folks who gather here to give it at least some grudging respect.
