More amazingly, her explanation for this is that she didn't know that wasn't allowed....can't make this shit up.

Do you suppose that in deference to his former position as POTUS that they will have some sort of prison facility where the entire family can be locked up together? (Of course it’s possible by the time this thing is all over the Orange Ogre won’t want to be locked up with Donny Jr.).

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Suggests Ditching Columbus Day For Election Day Holiday

Now here is a first-rate idea….that is probably why it will go nowhere. More people who would be able to vote? What a vicious, anti-Republican idea…..

Ohio GOP Leader Blasted For Calling Wildfires 'God's Punishment To Liberal California'

It’s not so much that there are people who would say these sorts of things out loud….there are idiots in this country who would say anything publicly. It’s the fact that there are still people in the United States of America in the year 2018 who would actually believe in stuff like this. It is astounding how organized religion can warp some peoples minds.

Betsy’s attacks on education are the lynchpin of their long term strategy.

The woman, personally, and her whole family donate millions and millions of dollars to the Republithug party….Trump and his accomplices would have put her in any position that she wanted, regardless of her personal views or ‘policies’….just keep that money flowing to us Betsy….

That was Hillary’s plan.  It didn’t work.

Could anyone say anything stupider? Let’s review….Republican Party is shrinking due to their lack of appeal to the very groups which are the engine behind the changing demographics in this country (in other words, white people are becoming the minority in the United States while brown and black people are on their way to becoming the majority). Your own so-called 'autopsy report' reported these facts in black and white (so to speak). So you’re claiming Hillary studied these facts and decided that it would be a winning policy not to try to appeal to this majority but instead try to win by appealing to the minority? Only from the mind of Cement-Head Red.

I can see their point from where they are sitting and I can see your point more as a fan of the overall game of college football.

Yeah, I know. They are just playing the odds…..playing the numbers. As I said, getting into the final four is the holy grail. But I say that they might be a bit short sighted. I don’t like the idea of trying to ‘lawyer’ your way into the final four. If your team has what it takes, you’ll be there. If your team has what it takes to be the best then you won’t fear playing anyone prior to the playoffs. Yes, it might be a bad gamble, or against the odds for some to do something like that. It might be easier to avoid something like that and to rely on the committee to put you in the field. But what about the idea of actually playing your way in? What if you are a one-loss team and you are on the edge of getting in? What would be the best way to do it? Start a national publicity campaign to try to influence the committee to include you? Or play and beat a strong foe on the field? Like I said, you take a lot of risks with a loss. But if you are national championship caliber team you don’t lose that game. Yes, yes….I know. Puts me right in with the fantasists who still believe in things like the student/athlete idea or the concept that the NCAA has any real effect or control on the current college football structure (recognize anyone of that nature, Cap? LOL).

It wasn't just Alabama. Other teams in the SEC had late season out-of-conference games yesterday. The SEC has been doing that  for years.

It wasn’t a late-season out of conference game I objected to. It was a late season OOC game against a dog of an opponent. All that should be part of the early season schedule, and by this point everyone should be getting down to serious business.

When you put it that way I agree with you.

Hey. I know what the score is and what’s happening in college football these days. There really isn’t any reason for Bama to go on the road and take on someone decent at this point. The idea is to get to that national championship game, get that trophy, rake in the riches that come along with that, get all the best recruits, etc. etc. etc. But sometimes you can do some things that really help college football on the way.
I was thinking of a long ago Southern Cal team which traveled to Alabama to play the Tide. By the time Sam ‘Bam’ Cunningham and friends were done with them the folks at Alabama knew that they finally had to get themselves some of those ’Negroes’ on their team or their time as a national powerhouse was over.
OSU scheduled a home and away with Oklahoma the past two years that worked out wonderfully for both schools and college football in particular. OSU went there and beat the Sooners on their home field and accrued much national standing from that, despite early worries from some that there was no good which could come from an out of conference game against a national powerhouse. Oklahoma with Baker Mayfield returned the favor the next year in Columbus. All great stuff, and great for the game. Stack that up against an Alabama vs. Citadel game, which is a waste of everybody’s time, regardless of what it does or does not do for someones strength of schedule.

First and foremost keep this in mind Driver my brother. 'When' you play your creampufffs' doesn't matter to a computer algorithm that measures SOS.

Cap:
My complaint about Alabama playing the Citadel at this time has nothing to do with SOS. Bama is so universally worshiped now that they could probably play a whole schedule of creampuffs yet they would not be too diminished in many peoples eyes. As far as that team is concerned there are only 3 games that really matter. The SEC championship to get them into the playoffs, the semifinal game in the playoffs and then the championship game. Until someone can take them out in one of those games nothing else seems to matter. I just thought it might be better for the playoffs if they played someone who had a chance of beating them so as to make the jockeying for position in the top four more interesting. Clemson has nearly stumbled their way out of the playoffs the last couple years by nearly losing to, well, let’s not call them creampuffs, but let’s just call them not highly regarded teams. Playing the Citadel at this time of the year is just a plain waste of a Saturday which might be put to better use by playing against a team with some potential. Hell, the Tide might even get ultra-bold and schedule a decent opponent and go on the road to play them. Maybe travel to California…..certainly would be a ratings winner out west.

The Buckeye defense is what is blowing my mind at times.

Losing Bosa was a big blow. You don’t remove one of the top players in the country without some sort of consequences. As for the over-all defense, it moves the rotations one player lower. With Bosa they were shaping up to have two excellent defensive ends. Now they have just one, as nobody has stepped up to make any sort of significant contributions in place of Bosa. With Bosa they were shaping up to have two excellent defensive ends and one real good D tackle….which would have left them only one tackle position to fill with someone who could make some big contributions. So in essence, losing Bosa has left them with half of a championship caliber defensive line.
They also seem to be notably weak at the linebacker position. OSU usually has at least one star linebacker, supported by at least one other backer who is really good. This year they have one supporting linebacker who is just alright (at times). All three seem to be fairly slow and out of position a lot (hence all these long runs popping through for touchdowns.
They have some decent young defensive backs who should develop for the future.
It all ads up to, instead of a defensive unit that I thought might come together as the season progressed to just a bad defense, something that not many people in Columbus can remember.
A reasonable expectation for this season might be to win the Big 10 title and then to go to the Rose Bowl. God forbid that some teams ahead of them crap out and they are elevated to to be one of the top four. Alabama or Clemson would murder them.

So refrshing to see someone defending sexism. In a way.

If OSU beags Meatchicken next week, I may owe jbot some Keystone Light.

While you never can tell with these rivalry games, at this point it is not looking very hopeful for OSU. Meatchicken has been steadily improving all season long while OSU has been steadily declining.

Tough loss Scotty, I know this one stings.

I’m not quite sure who hurt more, Maryland fans with the defeat or Ohio State fans watching their team play such an incredibly crappy game. A victory is almost not a compensation after watching something like that.
So, on another subject, riddle me this Cap…..why is Alabama playing someone like the Citadel at this point in the season? A couple of creampuffs at the start of the season I understand….college teams don’t play exhibition games so you often need something more than an inter-squad scrimmage to get your team in shape. But the Citadel?!? At this point of the season? Is Saban trying to negatively pad his teams resume?

republicans will be leading his impeachment.

No they won’t. Trump is the only thing that they have going for them. The GOP is dead as a party (have been for some time, thanks to Mitch, Boener and Paul Ryan). They just don’t realize that all those predictions of their imminent demise have finally come true. Trump in the primaries was just the finishing blow. The Pugs demonstrated how feckless they are and were at that time. Few of them wanted Trump, but then all of a sudden he managed to win and then it was “Uh, hold on now…wait minute. Maybe he’s not so terrible after all”. But he was and is just that terrible. Possibly even worse than they imagined. But they are stuck with him now….all the way to the end of the line. What are they going to do, bring back Mr. Mormon?

This is for those of you concerned about the Whitaker appointment as a potential threat to the Mueller investigation:

    From the way the Republithugs have been acting Muellers report will not make any kind of difference, no matter how it comes out to the public unless Trump is indicted by some sort of criminally-applicable charges. The Dems would need two thirds of the Senate to vote to impeach Trump (if that is the course of action they choose) and there is no way on earth that enough of his republican enablers in the senate would vote for that. It would give Susan Collins one more chance to do her now-famous ‘will I or won’t I’ dance again, but two thirds of the Senate? No way.
    What public disclosure of the Mueller report might do is to lower Trumps favorably to such a level that it would be nearly impossible for him to be re-elected in 2020, no matter how united his brain-dead base remain. Unfortunately, two more years of Trump could feel like ten, so it would be up to the Dems in the House to continually battle him on everything for those two years until his re-election would be impossible.....or until that final Big Mac heart attack claims him.
