2024 Presidential Election

The person with the most votes wins every single election in this country, with the exception of the most important election.

The electoral college was a sop to the slave-holding states, a way to make sure the common voter didn't really elect the president. It serves no purpose other than to invalidate most people's votes. Instead of contributing to the total vote and helping their candidate win, a Republican voting in Oregon or a Democrat voting in Wyoming have essentially wasted their votes, because their candidate has no possibility of winning in those states.

The electoral college reduces what should be a national election to a contest in which three or four battleground states determine the election.

One person, one votes, most votes wins.

Yes, change the rules, which the campaign underway to eliminate the EC hopes to do. By following the amendment procedure in the Constitution, a concept all of you Republican originalists should embrace.
The only state that is not represented in the Electoral College is the state of immigration. The rest of us don't want to live in California or Oregon.

2024 Presidential Election

Yeah, if we can't have our way, let's change the rules. Same with debasing the Supreme Court because it has a conservative majority for first time in decades. Petulance populates a good part of the Left.

Every judge in this country is subject to a code of Ethics, except the 9 justices of the most powerful court in the country. Why would anyone think the Supreme Court should be exempt from an enforceable Code of Ethics? Hardly petulance. And if it had come out years ago that RBG had accepted 4 million dollars from wealthy Democratic donors, the Republicans would have gone crazy, and rightfully so.

About Tim Walz

No US casualties in 18 months before withdrawal.....but 13 dead at Abbey Gate on Biden's watch. A disgrace. A total disgrace that need not have happened.

That's like saying there were no terrorist deaths in the US in the 18 months before 9/11, but then 3,000 dead in NYC, NoVa and Pennsylvania on Bush's watch. A disgrace. A total disgrace that need not have happened. A total failure of Bush's intelligence services.

But I'm not playing that card. If some fanatic is going to attack, you can't stop them.

The tail between our legs withdrawal from Afghanistan encouraged our adversaries to be more aggressive. Factually, believe this beyond dispute If you have evidence to the contrary, lets hear it.

You are making this statement, the onus of proof is on you. Again, do you seriously think Russia doesn't invade Ukraine if we have 2,500 servicemen surrounded on an indefensible air base in Afghanistan?

For a guy who says he's "not defending Trump," you seem to use almost all of his talking points.
Bagram is huge, 30 square miles. Basically, a small city. Easily defensible.

The Chinese operate it now. Happy? We can differ, but I believe it was a brain dead decision....and so did DOD and our security agencies. Along with border policy, one of Biden's worst decisions.

Fan, short for fanatic. I'm one for the Spiders.

Could be totally off base, but don't believe the Hoos outclass us in many positions and don't believe depth will be an issue. Expect Wickersham to punish them on the ground. A power running QB who can also throw is a wrinkle they have not often seen. The Dude that predicted a 54-10 score is way off base IMO.

Another positive, Hoos have Elliot coaching and not George Welsh.

Go Spiders!

2024–25 schedule

Especially with the stupid NET....there is no incentive at all for power teams to play a team like us. A team with a NET of 76-160 would be a Q3 loss at home. Obviously, a power team would rather play a team that is more likely a 160 team, or even a cupcake Q4 team than a 75-100 NET type team.
I used to think the P5 would break off so they could make their own rules, but since the NCAA has caved to them I believe the other 300 may break off to restore some fairness.

NCAA made this mess, they need to fix it. But they are to afraid of the P5 so we have what we have.

Hey Brooklyn, 97 might have stole it, but it is super obvious none the less. My guess is someone on staff read the board, and they gave it to a staffer to do. Said staffer took the afternoon off and hanging out on the James River.
They aren't doing it now because they've read the board. Maybe over the weekend like during the middle of the UVA game would be a good time.

despite the bad calls, we had a chance down the stretch until the late fumble. That 2001 team was loaded and it was very unfortunate the injuries that mounted early that season.

Headed up to the game tomorrow with some Hoo season ticket holders. It’ll be a challenge for our secondary to contain their WRs. We’re going to have to score a lot of points to win and really play aggressive. UVA is under a lot of pressure so if we’re close we may be able to bounce on their nerves.
