  1. Oh, I didn’t mean their taking over of the House—I meant in general. The House’s priorities will be revealed in time. And they deserve a fair chance to see what those are. My hope is that each side is either forced to work together or that the ‘24 election goes to whoever can sell a form of unity that can yield results.
  2. Agreed. It’s all framing. I appreciated Pres. Biden extending many olive branches, but even that is designed to use in further framing later on when the Reps balk. A big criticism of Reps right now is them not doing more to either meet in the middle or at least frame that they are. A big criticism of Dems is to offer olive branches but put too many preconditions.
  3. Republican Response is a Fairwarning type of conservative thought that I appreciate. While my overarching thoughts are aligned with Dems right now, the plain, simple wisdom being displayed in the Republican Response makes sense for most people. It’s just a shame that our polarization cannot marry the important big picture stuff Dems want with the day-to-day concerns that Reps espouse.
  4. Ah, I thought I saw you claim GA football as yours. Or maybe I just did that association by assuming. Agree about the two teams thing, which is why I begrudgingly support UA football lol. But once I became a Wildcat myself, it became easier to accept winning or losing from all their teams.
  5. Daaamn! So, GA football; UNC hoops? I remember watching Jamison, Carter and Stackhouse and thinking each would be beyond amazing. Great careers, but my hype on them was wild.
  6. I remember being happy that UA won those games, but your level of detail about them is impressive!
  7. Lolol Is the Simon/Bibby team still the only team to defeat 3 1 seeds?
  8. At least the ending is good for AZ there 🙊🙊
  9. Well, with what I’ve told George, these people seemed intrigued when I brought up my idea. Will see what they think after looking around. Lol But it’s a legit entity that expressed interest. My only interest is in hoping to impress them.
  10. Ahhh, gotcha. Plus you likely came during summer when it was roasting. There are green spots in AZ, but def few n far between.
  11. Knew he’d bring that up, which was settled years n years ago. I more than thanked him for loaning to my brother back then and apologized for how long he took to pay it. Initially he said take as long as needed and then would call me up bitching for it. But it got taken care of n thought we were cool after. Especially since it’d be like 3yrs+ after that until he became weird on me. So yeah.
  12. Yea. We used to be cool until I called him out on his thought processes/behaviors. Once he has a target, dude gets weird.
  13. This place may be filled with a ton of Arizonans in short order 🌵☀️🌵
  14. All that dude has is negativity. Like a jilted woman completely hanging on everything in hopes of finding something to unleash his bitterness on. Must be sad to claim superiority while continuing to operate in a negatively focused manner. But that’s what bitter, negative people do. Immediately say the first thing on their mind to release their inner turmoil. Until it festers again…and they hope to have something to respond to again. Sad cycle. Which is why I no longer engage directly with that person. In any event, I saw an opportunity as a go-between to potentially connect two parties that may mutually benefit. That’s always worth taking shrapnel of bitter, negative posts. If this works, TGF grows into something in a vision that I’ve always had for forums. And if not, it’s in the same spot it’s been for a while now. I tend to operate with optimism, so… here’s hoping for the best.
  15. Philly scores first at +150 boosted by DK. Not sure if still up, tho. As these places are all throwing out limited timed boosts left n right.
  16. It’s mainly the name/url that’s attractive Obviously But I found a place potentially interested
  17. Prominent Posters posting in here multiple times may look favorable to new management.
  18. Trying to imagine this place with several advertisers and a couple hundred posters. Could be fun!
