    If Trump is convicted, Secret Service protection may be obstacle to imprisonment

    I still say an island prison like Johnson Atoll is the best solution here. Biden could probably do it with an executive order, ordering that Johnson Atoll be the official US Federal Penitentiary for persons convicted of federal crimes who also by law warrant secret service protection. His cult...

    Israel and Ukraine Aid Bill Clears Critical Hurdle in House

    True but again they have no incentive to do that once the bill passes. I don't think that would work out, a power sharing deal to protect his speakership would cost him more politically than being removed from the speaker's chair. I don't think that would happen at all. Also quite frankly on...

    Israel and Ukraine Aid Bill Clears Critical Hurdle in House

    That might only protect him til it passes though. Afterwards unless he's got another important bill on the docket the Dems will have no incentive to protect him. If MTG and her allies are smart enough to understand this they will time their motion for just after the Dems have lost any...

    Israel and Ukraine Aid Bill Clears Critical Hurdle in House

    Ehh they only need like 2 to vote against him if Dems vote for it again. This is an instance I think where it might be an open question if Dems might vote to protect Johnson just to get the Ukrainian aid package through.

    Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever conference overshadowed by uncomfortable exchange with reporter

    I honestly think this is overdone. I think he was just trying to be funny but came off poorly. Wasn't like he asked her to kiss him or more.

    Normal kids walkout of school to protest being bullied by weird animal children.

    Right I agree, but I don't think middle school dynamics are going to change to where minority groups are bullying the majority of kids.

    Title IX: Athletes can play amid sexual misconduct inquiries

    True, and I would also say sexual harassment might be one place where the colleges can adjudicate. For example in a workplace environment the company might adjudicate on harassment. For rape or sexual assault they would probably let the courts handle that.

    Title IX: Athletes can play amid sexual misconduct inquiries

    Eh there are some contigencies which I think might warrant it. Like if you have an athlete who is sexually harassing female trainers and multiple trainers have issued complaints, they probably should be off the team because being on the team gives them more access to said trainers.

    Normal kids walkout of school to protest being bullied by weird animal children.

    How often does a majority in a school get bullied by the minority? I would suggest trying to turn a critical eye towards stories that seem extreme or unlikely until there is strong evidence to support them. A school allowing kids to dress up as animals in school seems unlikely. This minority...

    Title IX: Athletes can play amid sexual misconduct inquiries

    Honestly I don't think colleges should be conducting these hearings for the most part. Maybe sexual harassment, but things like sexual assault and rape should be left up to the real courts. Too many stories of these hearings essentially being rigged one way or the other. When it comes to...

    Antonio Brown.....yikes.

    Yeah part of me wonders if he didn't have an incident where he got brain damage worse than CTE. I wasn't following him too closely but it seemed like for most of his career he was decent teammate and sane. Then just suddenly the rails fell off with him and how he's just freaking nuts.

    Flat tax is going to pass in both Iowa House and Senate

    I also had a thread where I posted what I thought tax rates should be which is pretty out of line with normal even leftist thought. However one should keep in mind that the numbers I was using for that was "taxable income" and not gross income. So I was talking about income only after all...

    Flat tax is going to pass in both Iowa House and Senate

    For the record I wouldn't define 80k a year as rich unless maybe you are a single person, but generally I don't look at that as "rich". I mean it's richer than I am but not rich. That's somewhere around median house hold income for today. My contention however is the line where someone stops...

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    I think this will initially the case. However I feel like after a few years something will have to break . . . either CC will just be a passing fad or her being in the league will spill over to interest in other games/teams. I don't feel like the focus on CC only and ignoring the rest of the...

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    That will be a big thing that the WNBA will want to do. They need to sell a rivalry. Of course the problem is that the rivalry will need to be between 2 stars. If CC is a star but Reese is just a role-player, it doesn't work.

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    It will be interesting to find out how they go on the length of the deal. Because CC could be the beginning of a massive interest boom in the WNBA. Or she could just be a passing fad that flames out in 1 or 2 years. Each side in the deal is going to have to take both possible scenarios...

    Turns out Biden's uncle didn't get eaten by cannibals. Nothing is real anymore.

    I don't believe I said those things though. And as you know I'm certainly no member of the left. In fact I've said multiple times that the "binders full of women" comment was just a hamfisted way of Romney trying to tell about how he tried to get qualified women into state government. But...

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    I think anymore you just have to know the bias and the lengths they will go for that bias and account for that.

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    Just looked it up. Very good news for the WNBA is their TV deal is up for renewal in 2025. Just in time for them to capitalize on CC. It would suck if they were like 5 years away from renewing their deal.

    Turns out Biden's uncle didn't get eaten by cannibals. Nothing is real anymore.

    Very few people love Biden, they just see him as a less scary old man than Trump. Biden makes up some silly old timey story that's disconnected from the truth, kind of like old men do. (You know how old men used to walk to school 15 miles, uphill, both ways in 6 feet of snow and arrived to...
