    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    That will be interesting...my guess is gripes would be aimed more towards voter suppression efforts and foreign disinformation campaigns, and less toward election security. One of the ironies of the GOP's long-standing efforts to make voting more difficult (or more secure, depending on your...

    She was the left-leaning voice of the discussion focusing mostly on ballot access issues and Masterson was the right-leaning voice focusing on issues of security. Stewart has had voices from both sides of the political spectrum across his last few episodes to flesh out some of these policy...

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    KF mentioned him taking "a couple of shots", but also said he got hurt on the play he threw the pick-6. So, I think it was that one, more than the roughing the passer play.

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    This recent Jon Stewart podcast featured a discussion of voting fairness and security, and explains why it would be so difficult to cheat in a US election where the administration is decentralized and has so many checks and balances (the man explaining the security part is Matt Masterson, the...

    The Ghost Of Fat Pitzgerald Haunts The Mildcats Game Thread

    So, Fitzgerald was there, apparently in Iowa gear (his son is walking on at Iowa next year). Time to stop calling him "Fat Pitzgerald"?

    Note the quotation marks...he is delivering an anticipated KF response, and I would say he nailed it.

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    You can tell his strongest policy positions by what Biden retained (China tairiffs), and what he eventually reverted to (executive action to close the border). But it doesn't seem like he has any sort of coherent plan moving forward...he is just promising to get rid of practically everyone's...

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    Because this got so far away from the original topic, just to reiterate... Nearly half of Trump's cabinet, his Vice President, and numerous lower level staffers have not endorsed his campaign. His first term was characterized by dysfunction within the executive branch, a stark inability to...

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    60 minutes was not trying to hide anything. They are the ones that posted the video in question to twitter. When they later broadcast their show, minor edits were made for time. That is not a conspiracy...if they were trying to hide something, they would not have posted the video to twitter. It...

    WNBA finals have been great

    Agree the officiating is a problem, but as mucked up and physical as the finals were, it was very compelling basketball. Those teams played HARD, and there was a lot of talent out on the floor.

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    Yes, you see some left-wing folks say Trump should be silenced. I disagree with that. Harris, to the contrary, says everyone should listen to Trump's rallies. She has taken to playing extended clips from his rallies at her political events. Trump was banned because he was constantly lying...

    Trump supporters, how do you square this?

    Weren't we all watching that in real time with our own eyes? I am not even going to ask you to explain the BS as I am familiar with the conspiracy theories, but I don't know how anyone judges that as anything but a huge stain on Trump's character and legacy. Was it an "insurrection"? Not for...
