Just one day after Election Day and I'm already getting next-cycle spam from Democrats again. My name is not "Michael", for what it's worth, and I've had the same phone number for like 30 years. Infuriating.

““There’s been only one shortcoming in Dallas this year: the entire defense, which is on pace to be one of the worst we’ve ever seen.”
The Winners and Losers of the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline — The Ringer

I enjoy your work. I think you’re a thoughtful and perspicacious analyst, and fundamentally a good guy.
But I *love* rooting against your asinine NFL picks. I can’t explain this well of hatred it taps into.

Fetterman lost the plot. If the Democrats unite behind one primary opponent (Conor “One N” Lamb would be my pick), he’s going to get creamed. What a fucking buffoon.
Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

"Trump is tearing down the White House." Hit that. It's not exactly true, but it's not lie. You have the photos. Poll it. The poll is not the point, of course.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This is some fucked up shit.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

VP JD Vance is opining on the Bolton case on television. Before we had an authoritarian tyrant running the government, the VP would say that it's in the hands of the DOJ and refuse to comment.
But he's a motor mouth who can't help strutting and posing about everything just like his boss.
