Another reason why the old bowl system was better than the #cfb playoffs. They used to cram so many games into the time between Christmas and NYD. It gave meaning to the last week of the year.
The days between Christmas and NYE are a vortex. I’m just out here vibing.

The bowl game system is what made college football special. Arguing over who was the national champion was special. The bowl-conference alignments made all the bowl games interesting. Ending the season with the biggest bowls on NYD created an annual tradition for NYD.

The playoffs have ruined #cfb

Oh good. This fucking guy has learned nothing. 🤬
Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.

Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

This Christmas, remember the true meaning of family, love, and compassion. No one should face detention or deportation during the holidays. We all deserve safety, dignity, and the right to be with those we love. Let’s make this holiday season one of hope, justice, and humanity for all.

Amazon Prime for HUMAN BEINGS 🤯

What in the actual fuck???
“.. We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said .. as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

We need a whistleblower to tell us what’s behind the redactions related to Trump. Even better if someone snagged an unredacted version to show us. (with real victim info left out, of course)
WELKER: In any information about President Trump redacted in any of the files that have or will be released?

BLANCHE: No, not unless it's supposed to be redacted until the law, which means victim information or any sort of privileged information. He had nothing to do with the Epstein files.

All these people in my timeline watching football while Wisconsin and Kentucky are going five in the volleyball semis. They’re all missing out on some exciting volleyball!

This would be such a good SNL skit

(The sound of a countdown can be heard, “3…2…1… ding.” Several Santa Deniers dive toward the debate chair. Santa Denier 1 arrives first.)

Staunch independent caucusing with Dems since 2016 🙋‍♀️

"Unaffiliated voters who reported never being affiliated said they did so primarily because...they wanted to vote based on candidates or issues or have a desire for independence...the poll also showed they have a clear preference for Democrats."

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers are worthless but stats show the assault weapons ban was working.

The ongoing theme of the Garcia case is that of an authoritarian regime so unwilling to admit it was wrong that it will weaponize every act of the administrative state it controls (incl immigration judges now) to impose their lawless outcome
WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Our immigration policy under this president is a disgrace and completely unAmerican.
If you’re someone who was brought to the States as a child and spent your entire life working to build houses or run a local business, we send masked men to expel you from America.

If you’re a rich scumbag who made millions on shady overseas deals, Trump will eagerly sell you a place in America.
An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

1. Cry harder domers.
2. We should go back to traditional bowls.

Having a playoff hasn’t fixed anything and is actually making bowl season worse.
