After 8 years, I can give this advice:
Get your parking passes early, or arrive before 9am for game-day. Otherwise, you'd be stuck like chuck and will need to park Downtown.
Don't get towed, either. I think I saw very few in my tenure since Underhill was my perch.

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Shameful. This idiot wouldn't ever go away, even if the court affirmed it a decade ago.
Dems can fix this should the worst thing happen - codify it - keep it moving.

With this omnishambles of an administration, I tend to think "Stunt" and "distraction," a lot.
It's a hard critical line to walk, because if you compare him to PT Barnum, to professional wrestling, to the milleu where he developed his stage persona, people will automatically accuse you of being deflationary.

Love a "malicious compliance" action.
I think the folks looking at the footage from DJT's Silly Sad Parade and saying our troops don't know how to march are missing the point.
*Of course* they know how to march.
Many of them didn't. They simply walked. That speaks volumes.
There are many ways to get in the way.

I opposed the war in Iraq and worked on the 2000 recount in Florida. Trump was so bad that Dick Cheney came over to my side. That's the way I looked at it and I appreciated the Cheneys for putting patriotism ahead of partisanship. Kamala conceded nothing on policy.
I need to clear up a common misconception I hear on this app.
Kamala Harris did not "go right" to appeal to Liz and Dick Cheney to get them to campaign for her.
republicans went crazy, so Liz and Dick Cheney volunteered to campaign against the crazy.
No one went farther right.
Except the right.
