Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views
Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?
Con: LOL no...no not those views
Me: So....deregulation?
Con: Haha no not those views either
Me: Which views, exactly?
Con: Oh, you know the ones

The #NFLVoA has had basically the same issues as the #CFBVoA but with less success ATS. On the bright side, much like the CFB VoA, at least the zero point is closer to the middle of the league now instead of being down in the mid-lower 20s. Not 100% sure what VoA sees in the Texans tho

Well my #CFBVoA is still acting kind of weird, but at least the zero point is closer to the actual median number of teams now. On the other hand, talk to your kids about Top 10 Toledo? That's clearly not right, not to mention how many teams are above Georgia, Tennessee, Bama, etc. #RStats #MCMCStan

Hello Markwayne this is your pollster speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this shit.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Really good piece about the "sign up for a terrible-interest credit card, and get this free T-shirt!" of college athletics. I hope a lot of people are privately very embarrassed by this.

The fun part about letting way more teams into the World Cup is a lot of unexpected countries are qualifying. The less fun part is this is the last time it will ever mean this much

I mean, make prosperity for everyone and you'll be popular is probably true but not sure there's a lot to do with that. Like telling a football team to make sure to convert on 3rd down.
