I am a very weird kind of Christian now but I still think a lot about:
—The love of money is the root of every kind of evil
—Love your neighbor as yourself
—What does the Lord require of you but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?

A 17 y/o guy ran down two 17
y/o girls in his car, killing them both. The reason he murdered them was because one of them spurned his advances and the other insulted Charlie Kirk. He then laughed about their deaths on a gaming site.
He was NOT arrested. He was ticketed instead.

At some level, I understand that Pat McAfee, Clay Travis and Dave Portnoy are all different people, but I steadfastly refuse to tell them apart because that would involve having to don a welder's mask and sit through some White Hot Sports Takes.

I remember when being a fan meant watching SportsCenter and enjoying some dad jokes over highlights.
Now it's a set of culture warriors demanding I wager my kids' college fund on a Mid-American Conference baseball rivalry.

The Rule of Law v. The Rule of Trump
A crisis moment in the defining debate of our time.
"We are facing a clear and present authoritarian danger.
In these circumstances, can Democrats in Congress continue to take the position that their demand from the Trump administration is simply to restore health care funding?
I don’t think so."

"Don’t Democrats need to say that they will not vote to fund an administration that’s trying to impose martial law at home? Don’t Democrats need to demand that provisions curbing the administration’s authoritarian moves be attached to legislation funding the government?"

Fucking devastating and infuriating seeing all these videos and reading all these stories out of Chicago right now. If what you're doing is so unseemly, so unamerican and so unpopular that you have to wear a mask to conceal your identity while doing it, then maybe you should be rethinking your life.

Jay had to know that these texts were circulating around Richmond - the reports are that Coyner sent them to Gilbert, and it was Higgins who posted them online yesterday.
The issue here isn't that the MAGAs are playing it now; it's that Jay let his personal ambition give them this opportunity.
