I’m not a big “hire a guy because he’s from here” type of Pitt fan, but if we are going to be ass and can’t fire a coach id rather suck with Brandin.

Friendly reminder, religion only exists to control people so if you root for ND because you're Catholic, you're a double idiot

I’m so old I remember the time Pitt let the most successful men’s basketball coach in school history walk away from the job.
Pitt 49, WVU 71 -- Final
The Panthers are 3-1. They looked competitive for maybe a quarter of this 40 minute game. They'll be back at home Monday to host Bucknell.

The working people who blindly vote R don't give a fuck about getting screwed over. They'd rather lose and make their life shitty if it means owning the liba
Yeah, mmhmm. Go ahead and keep fucking working people over. I'm sure that'll work out well for your party's claim that you care about working people.

This isn’t far fetched
Analysis | Yes, Democrats won last Tuesday's elections by double digits. However, they did not win them by triple digits. The time had come to cave to Trump.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

This is why we lose so much. Too many people in our own party are idealistic and won’t pinch their nose and swallow to get less than ideal candidate elected versus going rogue and allowing the absolute worst people to get elected.

Democrat voters: "I agree with you on 9 of your 10 policies but dislike this one so I will vote independent or not vote at all."
Republican voters: "I know you are 100lbs of leeches bundled in a suit and you have no policies but I will vote for you because you are Republican."
