This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.

Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Ugh this should be so easy, it’s not even like there’s a “good for the economy but morally evil” party and a “bad for the economy but morally good” party, there’s one party that’s like “minorities belong in cages AND we want you to be poorer” and they win elections somehow

So the ACC settled with Florida State and Clemson, clearing a path for ACC schools to leave in 2030 (or maybe sooner). Here's what it means for the Big 12.

Greg was, of course, the voice of K-State during the height of the Snyder I era, but I'm also sending thoughts to Husker Nation.

Huge loss. Fuck cancer.

Incredible half from K-State in Ames. Huge foul trouble for the only ball handler they have against an elite defense and still up at the break.

No further comment. Added he expects a “great atmosphere” on Saturday.
