One of my favorite figures was the Hooded Cobra Commander that you had to mail off to receive.

I forgot about that, but now that you mentioned it I do remember having to send off for that one. :cheers:

The cartoon always made Cobra Commander a buffoon, but at Bamatab's setup hooded Cobra Commander was ruthless AF.
If you are suspicious to the point where you are going onto this board to ask advice on how to spy on your S/O, then I'm guessing deep down you already know the answer. I can't recall ever being a witness to a relationship where one person gets paranoid about their S/O, and it turns out to be a figment of their imagination...unless the paranoid person is a literal paranoid schizo or extreme control freak.

So unless you need actual psychiatric help, I would bet that your paranoia is probably warranted. But then again, I also wouldn't be going to the O-T for real life altering relationship advice either so...there's that.

All of those chars were from the 80s.

I went down the rabbit hole of looking up the characters that I didn't recognize, and I guess you are basically right. A few came out in 1989 and one in 1990. But I had grown out of the toy collecting phase of my childhood by 1989, so I guess that's why I didn't recognize some of them.
I didn't realize that they created so many new characters since the G.I. Joe heyday of the 80s. I had a ton of the toys going up, and watched just about all the 80s cartoons, and there are a lot of characters in both of these videos that I never heard of. A Cobra character actually had a pig?

Are we gonna act like Kiffin didnt leave Alabama for FAU right before the national championship?

When Kiffin left Alabama there was no early signing period nor was there a transfer portal. It's is a different age when it comes to being able to team build than it was back then.

I thought Lane and Layla got back together, is that not the case?
Whoever wins the Kiffin sweepstakes will give Kiffin whatever buyout clause that Sexton asks for. He's most likely going to be the highest paid coach with the highest buyout in his contract. Sexton is not going to let Kiffin not get PAID if he were to be fired.
It will suck for his son since he's the starting QB at the HS there in Oxford. I'm sure he's living like a king at that HS. But such is the life of a coach's son.

If I was LSU I would consider going after Sumrall instead of Kiffin since it’s going to turn into a crazy bidding war where Kiffin will basically name his price with a crazy buyout. Sumrall has been successful everywhere he’s been, and knows the state well. Plus you won’t have to pay $15 mil a year for him with some insane buyout tried to it.

If he truly wants to stay at OM, then only way to kill all of the distractions that the Kiffin speculation causes is by going ahead and signing an extension. Not sure what the down side would be for him to go ahead and sign it now.

So the fact that there has been no talk of an extension signals to everyone (including the players) that he is at the very least considering jumping ship
Fans in other conferences just don't get what they are missing by not being in the SEC. Every week there are multiple good games all day.

Dems are only furthering their own demise. Are they just throwing stones on their way out? I don’t understand their motivation.

Because they think that they've changed the narrative to one about health care and not about the fact that they are responsible for shutting the government down. And if they can convince swing voters that that is the case, then it is a winning argument for them.

It all comes down to messaging, and which side can get their message to the swing voters. And keep in mind that they live in a bubble, so the fact that MSM is backing them on this then it is easy to see why they are continuing down this path.

probably better than Alabama.




There's no way that Arky's offense is better than Bama's. If you're just talking about the run game, then I might listen to that argument, but Bama's passing game is far, far better than Arky's.

MAGA is not backing Rubio either. He is in the same bucket with Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley. I would definitely pick DeSantis over Rubio

The majority would back Rubio over DeSantis if Trump endorsed him, and my guess is that Trump would endorse Rubio if Vance did something that made him unelectable. Trump sure as heck isn't endorsing DeSantis, and that is unfortunate because like I said, DeSantis would definitely be my second choice behind Vance.

Unless he gets caught with a dead hooker or a live boy, JD Vance.

This

The MAGA wing has grown into too big of a coalition for them not to basically hand pick the candidate, and Vance will have their full backing.

But if somehow Vance is caught with a dead hooker, then my guess is that they would either back Rubio or another candidate that we don't know yet (I would say Vivek, but the H-1B visa ordeal probably killed his chances).

But unfortunately the MAGA wing most likely won't back DeSantis so he won't have a shot. And that is unfortunate because after Vance, he'd be my choice as things sit today. But again, the 2024 primary soured him in the eyes of most of the MAGA wing.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other senior GOP lawmakers have quietly advised the White House not to move forward with mass layoffs and sharp cuts to government assistance programs as the shutdown enters its second week, according to people familiar with the matter.


Link to WSJ article

I'm not sure what the reasoning is that the GOP leaders are giving Trump since I don't have a subscription to the WSJ to read the full article, but I don't really care what their reasoning is. The fact that they are pushing Trump to not fulfill his threats is beyond infuriating. And the fact that Trump is listening to then is equally infuriating.
Glad Johnson didn't take the bait. For one the Republicans have nothing to gain with a public debate, and two Johnson is not the first person I'd want to see on a debate stage (his personality is a liability in a real public debate imo).

No way I'm voting for Pearl or Finebaum.
Steve Marshall gets my vote all day every day.

Yep, this is the route I'm taking. Marshall at least has a political record that you can get a decent feeling of where he will stand in the Senate. I have no idea where either of those two other guys will actually stand if they got that seat.
