Idk how the committee puts in a team playing half as many games as the others, and without a single big win. If they put OSU in, I think they will basically be telling everyone that your record doesn't really matter as long as we think you look like a good football team. Someone did a statistical breakdown on this a few years ago. Basically the conclusion was ND is underrated just as often as they are overrated. They have a unique position in college football as an independent with a large following, leads to many haters. The biggest problem I have with the haters is they apply a standard that only seems to apply to Notre Dame. ND got beat by Clemson a couple years ago in the playoffs and immediately everyone goes "SEE THEY DONT BELONG!" The following week Clemson beats the piss out of Alabama and nobody says "Alabama doesn't belong." Notre Dame in 2012 has a magical season of close wins and makes it to the national championship. Gets steamrolled by Alabama, the consensus is that Notre Dame doesn't belong. Conveniently, people ignore that a ton of the title games in the BCS system weren't competitive games. Heck, Alabama only got in because Kansas State and Oregon (two teams ND would have likely beat) both got upset late in the season. Notre Dame isn't Alabama, Ohio State, or Clemson right now in terms of recruiting and in the modern game, they probably never will be unless recruits are listening to their mothers, but they are right in the top 5-10 programs in the country. This year, there are only two teams I think are better than them, Alabama and Clemson. I think they'd beat Ohio State, OSU has a pretty average defense and Notre Dame has proven that they can slow down high powered offenses and ND's offense is pretty well balanced at this point so they can move the ball against pretty much anyone. They are much less flashy than the other high end teams and have less depth, but they can probably play with anyone now.

Polls/surveys in 2018 (two years AFTER Trump was elected) showed that around 3/4 of Democrats believed that Russia actually hacked voting machines and flipped votes in 2016. I am pretty sure the "elections are unfair if my team loses" is likely the new norm. Has anyone here claimed Trump is such a nice guy? If anything, many have supported him because he ISN'T a nice guy. You arent a very bright person, are you?

Yeah seems dumb to claim Wentz is bad. Dude nearly won an MVP. He's had some problems staying healthy, as has most of his team. Not an ideal situation to be in anymore but thats life.

Notre Dame dominating and Michigan being really terrible is really fun

I won't dispute the "cant trust the news"...I'm with you 100% there. Journalism as a profession has become activism (whether left or right). Trump isn't a statesman. I'm with you there too. But the whole "i demand loyalty" is literally every politician who has been alive your entire life. No President who had ever ever lived is going to appoint a dude who they don't think is loyal. That was a brand new invention created by the media. The media and Dems had ZERO words to say when Eric Holder, our attorney general, referred to himself as Barack Obama's wingman. Yet Bill Barr got accused of every fucking crime under the Sun. Thats not a criticism of Eric Holder by the way, the AG is appointed by POTUS, therefore it should be assumed they have a good relationship. This entire "oh trump's appointees have his back, thats not normal" idea is retarded. Thats entirely normal. For how much people claim "I dont want a regular politician" they sure have a tendency to vote for regular politicians. Joe Biden is not particularly different than Trump when it comes to lies. His career is full of them...they sunk his presidential aspirations before I was even born. The idea that he is an honest politician is crafted by the DNC in tandem with the media. I dont think they cheated to get him elected, but he is as much of a liar as Donald Trump is, he is senile(Trump might be too), and he's a bad guy. For being such a devoted Catholic...he can't pronounce the word Psalms. Dude is effectively excommunicated per the Catechism so...I mean..I hope becoming President a year before you die is worth it because if HIS OWN FAITH is correct...well... His presidency will be entirely ineffective in all likelihood and I like that a lot. But the idea of him returning anything good to the White House is objectively false.

I see satire is not your strong suit...not that I'm surprised. Sometimes its difficult to remember how dumb some folks (folx in modern lib spelling) are.

Consistent theme with Donald is that 2018 and 2020 seem to indicate suburban voters (aka white married women) didn't like him. It is what it is. Giving women the right to vote was truly stupid if you think about it from a male perspective....why on earth would you give someone power when you don't have any reason to?

Well it made sense that Biden would pick up some of the voters who might identify as moderates who don't like Trump. Biden is also a much more likable person than Hillary, some who stayed home as a protest may have come out this time too. Trump is polarizing, that probably drove some turnout too.

Yeah I would think the goal would be to highlight the cases benefitting my argument. Oddly enough, the whole liberal talking point of "Trump's judicial nominees are awful and unqualified and biased" seems to be getting #rekt lol

The best observation that can be had from the Trump Presidency is his detractors and rivals willingness to be even worse than him across the board. Very little generally makes sense in his head. Anything Trump is bad. See his post earlier this week whining about Pompeo when Israel and one of the Arab countries made some diplomatic deal with each other. He's been conditioned into the "Orange Man Bad" ideology where you build your political beliefs entirely around opposing a specific person so that literally anything he does or doesn't do is catastrophic. Some Republicans do it too so its not like its exclusively a lib thing but they have certainly ramped it up over the past four years. His entire process is a few steps. 1. Orange Man is Bad. 2. Orange Man supports (insert anything). 3. Orange Man supports this horrible policy and I know it is bad because Orange Man likes it and he is bad. Put into Political Candidates. 1. Orange Man is bad. 2. This man is running against orange man. 3. Because this man is running against the bad orange man, he is good and should not be critically examined because he can't be as bad as the orange man.

It seems like you approach pretty much everything is binary. It seems like in your brain it goes "Trump lies and is bad; Joe Biden beat Trump, therefore Joe Biden is honest and good." Biden is a exceptionally bad liar even by political standards. There really isn't a way around it. A rational person would just say "I think Trump is worse so I voted for Biden and think he'll do a better job," at least then you arent feeding yourself or anyone else some nonsense about him being some white knight who is going to bring truth and dignity back to the white house, because he isn't lol.

The guy who lied about how his wife died so he could score political points for decades is going to bring respect back to the WH? The guy who lied about his grades in law school? We talking about the same guy? The guy who got busted for plagiarism during an earlier run at the White House? That guy?

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Calling Biden a Catholic is like calling me an athlete because I played sports in high school. Technically true but..... man lol what a disaster. I'm assuming they'll blame his s-s-s-stutter or something

I didn't read his dissent but im pretty sure his point wasn't that the religious regulations were legal, but rather the point was moot because the restrictions are not in place anymore.

I dont recall claiming Rudy was any good at his job.

Are you referring to the guy who said he had evidence that Donald Trump collided with Russia and then never provided it? Dude is incompetent.

Lol if I was a Baker in NY I would definitely have that on the menu as my signature cake. Even if it tasted awful, business would be booming.

You are right, I should sit on msn.com all day and refresh looking for articles that I think support Biden or somehow hurt The Don. I dont know what Grecian Formula College is...but I dont think I've ever seen a picture of Rudy hanging in the hallways, but I also haven't been there since March so...maybe things have changed in my absence.

They are probably continuing to react to news about vaccines, probably okay with his pick for treasury as well but the idea that "stocks are soaring because Biden!!!" is f'ing dumb lol

I think Biden over 270, not that it mattered

Ah yes, nothing like a dude who helped block a judge entirely on the basis of his race. Yes, that might be the final push needed to get Tulsi to go take her seat.

Dril is the best twitter outside of 2010-2014 Donald Trump

Afraid of the current administration continuing to orchestrate diplomatic deals in the middle east or?

These are two unrelated things. You said Biden was soliciting donations to go toward transition expenses. I said none of that money will go there. I didn't mention or imply Donald solicitations for money was going to a good cause. Thats already well-established to be a bad use of money at this point. Its genuinely amusing how you assume any observation that is critical of Joe Biden or his campaign or whatever is some endorsement of Donald Trump's actions. Sending money for the Trump campaign's legal fights/debts is a waste of money. Sending Biden money thinking he will use it for transition expenses (whatever those even are lol) is equally or perhaps even greater stupidity.

Struggling to follow? What do cattle have to do with me? There is a 0% chance that donations will go to transition expenses lol. But hey money is money
