People complaining about high gas prices under Trump has been one of the dumbest complaints I have heard this election cycle considering we were all paying even more under Biden.

California has pretty much had the highest gas prices in the country for years with other Dem run states not far behind. Even when Trump had gas prices lower across the country people in California were paying out their arse. Yet somehow people thought that putting Dems back in charge in Washington with the same extreme climate policies and philosophies as California is going to somehow lower gas prices. The American public has become extremely stupid and lazy. Instead of thinking critically about the problem and using some good old fashioned common sense. The American public just accepts what the Dems and the media tells them. You can either have cheaper gas or extreme climate change laws and regulations. You can’t have both.
He should be re-elected with 100% of the Republican vote. He should get to enjoy the fruit of his labor now that Republicans are in the minority. He didn’t do very much to help keep the Republicans from being in the minority.
Vance would have been a disaster anyway. No big loss there.

The fact that Republicans may not have ran exciting candidates is no excuse. What people needed to ask themselves is I may not be excited about the Republican candidates running but just how excited am I about the Dem candidates running. If you can’t get excited to go vote against a guy that says God is nonbinary and countless other similar idiots that have no business in charge of anything serious then those folks shouldn’t ever be allowed to vote again. Michigan is getting closer and closer to electing a Senator that might as well be a member of some terrorist group. If you can’t get motivated to vote against that then God help you.
Oh yeah because all those Red Senate seats lost are now gone for 6 years. Now Texas has a Dem Governor. I realize the the Texas State Congress can keep her in check but she can do some things on her own to make sure that Texas becomes much easier for Dems to win. If she can do anything at all to turn that State blue in 28 then it’s over before it begins in that election for Republicans. We are in big big trouble.
People can be sick and tired of Trump all they want. In order to “protest” vote you have to have a choice to vote for that will at least not make things worse than they are. That is not the Democratic Party with a bunch of socialist in charge. What people did was make a change to something far worse than what they have in Trump. It’s not about liking the guy. It’s about changing only when you have a clear and obvious choice to at least don’t make things worse. Dems proved under both Biden and Obama that they can’t make anything better for anyone or Trump would have never been elected in the first place.

Well you guys should start learning and accepting that God is nonbinary and that men should have access to abortion care too no matter how much it costs. I guess Texas gets to be the front porch of the United States with every illegal we managed to get rid of the past couple of years just waiting for Trump and Vance to be impeached so they can swear in President Jeffries.

People can blame Trump and be mad at R’s all they want. But in order to hold a protest vote or stay home then first you must have another option that at least will not do anything to radical to make things worse. We don’t have that. So this was just totally stupid by a lot of the American electorate.

A town can be mad as hell at its Sheriff because crime rates are skyrocketing. That doesn’t mean though you can stay home and not vote or vote for the other candidate running against the Sheriff if the other candidate is Charlie Manson. That’s basically what a lot of people did. Absolutely nothing will get done but impeachment trials against Trump and his Cabinet. Gas prices will be high until Trump himself gets them down. This will be hearing after hearing and show trial after show trial. They will try to pass one crazy bill after the other. So those of you that wanted to protest against Trump today congrats. You got your way but you sure fricked us all.
Trump screwed up by starting the Iran war and then allowing the Saudis and other Middle Eastern countries to talk him into wasting month after month negotiating a deal that would have never lasted even if they signed the damn thing. If Trump was going to go to war in Iran he needed to finish it and get it over with and help the people take control and make sure as many regime forces was either caught, dead, or fleeing for their lives. Even if some could have reconstituted later it would probably have been way into next year before they really could have organized to really stir things up. That’s how he screwed up. It had to be finished fast if he was going to do that in an election year because you have to expect some blowback.

Oh the Committee may go insane trying to sort out the mess the SEC is this year.

I think the Committee is ranking Bama today based on what the team looks like when it’s healthy and is giving them the benefit of the doubt that they could get a lot of these guys healthy enough to be effective over the bye. If Bama loses Saturday it probably means that a lot of key players didn’t make it back and I’m afraid the Committee may start looking at the injury situation like they did with FSU a couple of years ago. That’s why I say they will drop like a rock if they lose Saturday. This is just not the same team without Williams, Delgatty, and many others. You don’t have to defend Bama like you did earlier in the year. I’m afraid that ranking comes with that condition. Even if they somehow beat LSU and then lost a game somewhere else down the stretch it would be the same deal if some of these guys do not make it back. With no big games left it would be smart of Bama to come out and take care of business in the month of November. A 3 loss Bama team that is severely banged up will not be as attractive as a 3 loss SEC team that’s a lot healthier and probably has at least as many good wins as Bama does at the least. I wouldn’t give the Committee as reason to start looking for ways to separate them from other SEC teams with 3 losses that might be in the mix for a playoff spot as well.
They do not have enough big games left down the stretch to make up ground if they lose. If LSU loses Saturday they are in a great position still because they still have 2 games left against good teams. LSU can afford to lose this game and still make it by winning against Texas and Tennessee. So I think LSU is in great shape no matter the outcome Saturday.

I wish we still had the BCS system. It was wrong a time or two but for the most part was correct every year I thought.

You do realize a couple of years ago Bama was left out of the playoff all together do you not? There is no conspiracy to get Bama into the playoff. The controversy to me is having several teams that have not played anyone with a pulse ahead of teams that actually did play a challenging schedule. Some of these teams have no losses or 1 loss for a reason. They manufactured a record like that instead of going and playing in tough games in tough places to play and earning an undefeated or 1 loss record.
Bama will not make the playoff with 3 losses. Simple as that unless they get help from other teams losing to thrust them back in to the picture. The Committee put them way too high. I agree. But if they lose Saturday they are done unless chaos happens in front of them to push them back into the picture. They will drop like a rock if they lose Saturday.

We will see. All the scenarios I mentioned are only relevant because a team that everyone thought was gonna roll ended up laying an egg and getting beat by a team they had no business losing too.

Ole Miss lost to Florida that beat Texas that beat Ole Miss. It’s not a normal year. If Kentucky beats Tennessee then you will have another example. Bama beat UK that beat Tennessee that beat Bama. This whole league will be a nightmare to sort out if this kind of chaos continues till the end of the year because all the playoff teams will hold wins and losses over each other in combinations like that.

This is not a normal year. Bama beat the hell out of SC that beat Tennessee that beat Alabama. There will be a lot of situations like before this season is over.
If Alabama loses a close game Saturday and then blows out everyone else then maybe they stay in if enough chaos takes place around them. Thats what it would take though. If they lose Saturday they are out. Personally I would have had them around 13,14,15 tonight. But they can’t afford to lose 1 game and stay in without some help.
Bama has LSU, Vandy, Chattanooga, and Auburn left. If they drop just one of those and they are done. No way they could lose to Vandy, Chattanooga, or Auburn and stay in the playoff even if they beat LSU.
Well that game was one of the worst officiated games of the year. Both Bama and Georgia were both banged up going into the game and came out of the game even more banged up. Both Bama and Georgia both beat themselves the next week by coming out flat and making mistake after mistake. So tell me where am I wrong?

Getting upset over where Alabama is ranked in the first poll is really dumb. Bama loses one game to anyone and they are out. So what’s the big deal? I would be more upset at the fact that a lot of teams have played absolutely nobody and are ranked extremely high.
