There's value to be had in industry experts advising governments. Think about your old ass representative regulating the internet without any advice from people who have actually used the internet. The problem is not that the government converses with industry, it's that lobbyists bribe politicians under false pretenses. Outlaw the exchange of money, not ideas.

They do pay these debts. That's exactly what this article is pointing out. We are spending this money on debt rather than something beneficial to citizens. Yes, we print our own money but we still have to pay our debts.

There's petabytes of free porn on the internet and yet tons of weirdos pay for subscriptions to porn sites. Such is life

Wealthy southerners aren't immune to trashy behavior. They're just oblivious to the trashiness.

No but that wasn't the goal so why would that matter to Trump?

Could be worse. At least you've got a computer and some sort of building to put it in.

the dems need to appeal to republican voters

When will this idea die? If anyone is still on the fence about Trump they are a lost cause. I don't mean that in the internet edgelord sense but a literal one. Stop wasting time on idiots and people happily guzzling propaganda. They will never ever change. Give up on them. They want to physically harm you.

It's a reasonable distinction in theory but the two should be clearly labeled for what they are. You're absolutely right that they intentionally don't do that.

How is using tear gas on protestors fine but throwing it back is felony assault with a deadly weapon?

Dem governors would line up to oppose him.

Do you have any reason other than your own expectations to believe this is true? Looking at their response to him so far I don't think they would do shit. I don't think I would have said that two years ago but their spinelessness up to this point is pretty shocking.

Walz hasn't done much of anything about ICE invading Minnesota and Newsom types his Twitter posts like an idiot now. What else have any of them done?

That only applies to specific opinion shows like Tucker Carlson's. They have actual news segments that do have requirements to report factual information

This is just a more accessible phone sex line. It tells you what you want to hear and charges you for it.

 

For the first time in two decades, Oklahoma State is in search of a new football coach.

Oklahoma State fired Mike Gundy, effective immediately, according to Robert Allen.

In his 21st season, Gundy accumulated a 170-90 record with the Cowboys. That’s the most wins in program history, and it isn’t particularly close. Pat Jones, Gundy’s coach, is second on Oklahoma State’s all-time wins list at 62-60.

Eleven of Gundy’s teams spent at least one week in the top 10 of the AP poll, climbing as high as No. 2 in the rankings in 2011. Gundy-led teams have had a pair of top 10 finishes in the AP Poll, finishing third in 2011 and seventh in 2021.

Six of Gundy’s teams finished in the top 10 nationally for scoring offense. The aforementioned 2011 team finished the season averaging 48.7 points a game, which ranked second in the nation. OSU’s 2017 squad finished second nationally in total offense, averaging 568.9 yards a game. Led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, that 2017 team finished first nationally in passing offense, averaging 389.2 pass yards a game.

OSU’s best defense under Gundy came in 2021 when coordinator Jim Knowles’ group allowed just 18.1 points and 297.9 yards a game, which ranked ninth and fifth in the country, respectively.

Gundy teams loved a big win. He had 11 wins against AP top-10 opponents, with the most recent being the Cowboys’ 27-24 win against No. 10 Oklahoma in 2023. Gundy has beaten the No. 3 team in the AP Poll twice, besting Missouri 28-23 in 2008 and Baylor 49-17 in 2013.

From 2006 to 2023, OSU teams finished with a winning record. Eight of those squads had at least 10 wins. There have only been three other teams in OSU’s history finish with double-digit wins, and Gundy was the quarterback for two of those squads.

Speaking of his playing days, Gundy still ranks fourth on OSU’s all-time passing list with 8,473 yards, and the three players ahead of Gundy (Mason Rudolph, Spencer Sanders and Brandon Weeden) were all coached by Gundy. Gundy ranks fifth on OSU’s passing touchdowns list with 57.
