It was always going to happen. Trump is Only about loyalty and fealty Trump.

If anyone thinks Trump is going to show any restraint or respect norms etc. you're going to be sadly disappointed. He's a despicable human being and i expect him to act just like a spoiled King through out his 2nd reign

All good. Nah he’s just super, super weird. I can’t stand the guy for a litany of reasons, but this is just him being a whack job.

Might I say, though, that your perception of my faux outrage was…. Faux outrage?

How the turn tables….

(That was a JOKE!)

🤣

Narwhal. Buy it. Trust me.

You’re welcome.

Where in the heck do you begin?
One of the worst VPs ever. Her inability to conduct
A interview without the same canned answers .
Her constant use of words like ambitious and unburdened
She was to the Oval Office to what Chris Palmer was to NFL
Coaching.

Didn’t say that, don’t put words in my mouth. Women using public bathrooms need locked doors, or gender neutral 3rd options, not discrimination and hate to solve a NON problem. Again, show me one criminally prosecuted case where a tranny transgressed against a woman in the bathroom? Most trannies are NOT MAGA and actually try to be kind. They know they are different, they’re just not ashamed of it.

They all voted for ME-ME-ME… horrible people IMO. And I can’t wait until they wake up and see he was talking about Him, Him, and Him. Plus the bugger plutocrats.

And a certain poster that likes to act like he’s loaded will be the biggest cryer of them all. My empty cup of MAGA tears is standing back and standing by…/

You scored really low on the Sesame Street “one of these is not like the others” game, huh?

Vivek Ramaswamy to leave DOGE and launch a run for Ohio governor

WASHINGTON — Vivek Ramaswamy will launch a campaign for governor in Ohio early next week and is parting ways with President Donald Trump’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, two sources familiar with his plans told NBC News.

Ramaswamy’s interest in seeking office in his home state is not a surprise. But his decision to leave DOGE now removes him from the high command of a federal spending watchdog group that he was supposed to run with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X.

“He’s leaving DOGE. He’s going to announce early next week for governor,” said one of the sources, who was granted anonymity to discuss preparations for a campaign that has not officially launched. “It became increasingly clear over the last week that pursuing the governor’s race and running DOGE was not compatible. He’s leaving on good terms with Trump, Elon and the team.”

A post on X issued Monday morning around the time that Ramaswamy's departure from DOGE became public, underscored how abruptly he was pivoting away from one of Trump's top priorities.

"A new dawn," Ramaswamy posted alongside a photo of him with Musk.

In a statement, Trump transition spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Ramaswamy for having played a "critical role" in establishing DOGE.

"He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure that we announced today," Kelly added. "We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again!”

Ramaswamy, a wealthy biotech entrepreneur, briefly challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination last year before he became one of his most visible and vocal allies. He had said he was putting his Ohio political ambitions on hold to help lead the DOGE effort.

At the time, Ramaswamy was taking himself out of the running for the appointment to the Senate vacancy in Ohio left by Vice President-elect JD Vance. But Ramaswamy resurfaced as a late contender for that job, meeting last week with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who eventually selected Lt. Gov. Jon Husted.

That move quickly upended the 2026 race for governor, as Husted was considered a leading candidate to succeed DeWine, a fellow Republican, who is term-limited. Two other GOP officials with statewide name recognition — state Attorney General Dave Yost and state Treasurer Robert Sprague — were already plotting their own bids for governor. And Ramaswamy’s signals last week that he was about to join them only accelerated their preparations.

Ramaswamy mingled with Ohio Republicans at their inaugural ball here Sunday night. But he left conspicuously early, according to three attendees, who were granted anonymity to share details of a private event. His appearance struck these Republicans as unusually perfunctory for someone about to launch a campaign for governor.

“He can’t bother to spend more than 45 minutes with 1,400 of the most influential Republicans in Ohio,” a GOP leader in the state said. “It’s next-level arrogance.”

A Ramaswamy adviser did not respond to a question about his appearance.

On the Democratic side, Amy Acton, a physician who was DeWine’s health director during the early days of Covid, has declared her candidacy for governor.

Here’s the thing.

The analytics and the scouting department provide hard facts. Second hand information.
Stats. Personal background information. Scouting stats like numbers from the combine a s o.

When it was time for the final decision I assume that the owner asked the GM and the HC for their recommendation and then they made a joint decision where Jimmy had the decisive vote regarding the size of the contract.

The tragic failure the Browns FO, the analytics and the scouting department did was to totally ignore the mental and the psychological aspects.
Either by incompetence or plain arrogance.

It’s in this stage of the process Berry’s and Stefanski’s inexperience and lack of common sense is shining through and that’s why I don’t fully trust them.

Well, that may happen but if it does again the Browns probably will be without Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski. I think their job this year is who is the right bridge QB. Someone this team can win with this year and who is the QB of the future, and can they get him this season since they are picking #2 overall.

I purchased a set of books for my mom a few years back, the Poldark series. I looked on Amazon, Ebay, slick deals, etc. I looked all over google shopping and found an english bookstore that was a $100 better than the best deal, and they shipped them for $12. Funny enough, had I just switched country on amazon, the deals were all there, just not covered by US prime delivery. All these big websites have different versions for different countries. There are deals to be had all over if you are willing to dig deep. Problem is, between shipping costs and trust issues, sometimes you are just better off paying more. Same with rando US websites. Get a trust score before you buy. Else, you will eventually be scammed.

For a while, Starbucks wasn't a terrible value if I was running late and a stop for food/beverage was needed on the way to work. Breakfast sandwich and a coffee for not much more than $5... and there has been two times now that the local SB's couldn't be any more on my way to work.

I was laughing at your dialogue. Here's mine.

Oober: "Good morning... I'll have a sausage breakfast sandwich and a medium coffee... black."

Cashier: "a Grande coffee?"

Oober, but slightly annoyed: "No. Medium."

So you use the same decision making process with women that you do with everything else?

Personally, below the waist plays a lot less influence in decisions where women aren't involved.

His previous "bad decisions" were in a specific realm that they took steps to change and they attempted to insulate the contract from any problems in that area.

I don't deny that the decision to trade for and pay Watson has proven to be the wrong one. But you're using information from now that wasn't available when the decision was made. I also believe they are separate issues rather than connected as you seem to paint them.

And what decisions on the field were the bad decisions? Honestly, I think the problem was more indecision and lack of confidence. Missing throws. They weren't bad decisions so much as slow decisions and likely, results were further complicated by diminished ability due to the additive effect of multiple injuries.

I hear the Mariachis are good here, I will have dos of those babies!

What we think works and has worked did not last night. Not to panic and read too much into one lopsided loss. But, by the same token, let us not ignore the dynamic the loss exposed. It was a blowout, and our defense went from bad to worse. We didn't change or challenge a lot of shots , shots they made. The number of rebounds they got at both ends was favorable. The offense off our missed shots and turnovers hurt. Hindsight is too easy; we have some people getting extended minutes who lack production. We have a couple of ball hogs who will force their shot. Not everyone should be shooting the number of threes that we have in outr last two losses IMO. But we didn't hustle well last night. We need to stop pretending we are all snipers and pressure the paint. Cavs must know what to do, because they have done it. Improve the mix on the floor.

Some of those games were picture perfect, too, like the Bengals night game in 2020. The Titans game. Cowboys game, etc.

It's amazing how Schwarts (WR) could have single-handedly altered the very foundation and direction of this franchise on one, single play.

"... there's cameras everywhere, I don't know where to start."

Lol. Yep, sometimes there's really none required. Many times with sentences that start... "Meanwhile, in Cleveland..."

I think that is because the seeding didn't really involve the teams that many thought were best to worst. It was conference title winners as top seeds, which normally may be fine, but year not so much.

Haven't you heard? This entire thing will be solved next week.

What a wonderful eulogy and brilliantly delivered by his grandson. funny, poingniant, grounded. Different era and yes, all class and compassion.
