Seems like some members of Congress practically exist to troll. A few names that come to mind: Ted Cruz, MTG, and Nancy Mace. On the Democratic side: John Fetterman and Jared Moskowitz.

Actually doing anything constructive in Congress seems secondary for them.

I'm not going to defend anyone who is trolling constantly although I do like Fetterman. Nicole Malliotakis did not make your list. So the fact she has a sense of humor and can laugh at things is good as long as that goes with getting shit done.

As I said authenticity matters, putting on the McDonald's apron and putting on the vest as a garbage man were 2 very good troll moves. I don't know where everyone here works so maybe some people never told a joke or laughed at a colleague or was ever the butt end of a joke at work. In my opinion that sucks. I've built some great comradery with many people that way. Telling a joke is great but being able to take a joke takes down barriers between people. Right now democrats don't have the confidence to take a joke. Republicans are becoming more relatable because they can.

I know, I was told earlier. The original thread was discussing Morning Joe 🤷‍♂️

I hate Joe Biden. I've made that very clear on this forum.

In your opinion, how are Joe and Mika doing their best to start World War III? I mean, I think I know how they're doing it (by being some of the biggest cheerleaders on television for Israel's ongoing genocide), but I'm curious how you think they're doing it.

I’m not sure I would call VCU a mid major. They’ve been in the ncaa tournament nearly season since 2004.

If they’re a mid major, what does that make Wagner and Hofstra?

On that note, would it be better to be a program like VCU in the A-10. Or SHU in the Big East over the last 25 years?

Over last 25 years, Seton Hall/Big East without a doubt. Moving forward in the next ten years, answer to that question is very unclear.

Drake leading Miami at half

I have to think we will have bigger ,quicker athletes at most positions.
Wonder if Okorafor starts.

In all seriousness though, trolling is something you want to see from politicians? Left or right?

I want real human beings like myself in there. I'm tired of pretentious douchebags who think they're better than me. Will real human beings troll idiots sometimes, absolutely. Do I want someone trolling every minute of the day in there? No. You also find out who the real people are when they're being trolled. Authenticity matters.

Gaetz out. Likely heard he had no chance the senate would confirm him.

Which ones?

The ones that can go into an interview, give thoughtful answers and not look like they are acting or just repeating party lines.
Just mean that is not something we see often.

Not going to make a full list to get into a debate on each but AOC is an example of someone who is genuine.
Doesn't mean I agree with everything she says and does, but she's willing to talk on any issue without having her responses poll tested.
She speaks candidly on things others wouldn't touch.

So far, running on being anti-Trump (that's not a good thing) abortion (not a good thing) and taxes.
We'll see actual plans are over the next several months.

I agree. I believe SHU will probably lose because there just wont be enough point production. I think it will be a close game because The Hall will play intense defense. So, if one player or two can exceed our expectations then it may be realistic to take the game.

Left wing nut jobs like yourself are being trolled and it's hilarious. Wait until you hear more about prayer in schools. Maybe Deion Sanders will head that part of the Department of Education.

Just win the friggin game and shut people up.

Looking for something positive, 62-57 SHU

Saw some positives last game and I think we are due to play a game where we overachieve a bit but don't know if it will help us get a W tonight. VCU is a sound, veteran team that plays great team defense and uses it to ignite its offense.

That's the biggest difference between us and them from a style perspective. We both have strong defense. SH is 11th in Defensive Efficiency and VCU is 7th. We use our Offense to slow the game down as much as possible to aid our defense while they use their Defense to create TOs and missed shots so they can attack on offense.

We were able to get some easy buckets in transition vs Wagner for the first time and I really think that has to be an important element of our game if we want to beat good teams.

The other area we have to improve on is our FT shooting. We are a wretched 57% on the season and as bad as we've played overall, we'd be 4-0 if we were even a below average 65%. Have to take advantage of our opportunities.

I think we'll put up a good fight but we still lack the confidence and mental toughness to make big plays when the game is tight.

VCU 62
SHU 57

Certainly. If we get to 2OT

Do you think we can crack 50 points? May be in serious jeopardy

Of all the teams in Charleston, VCU is probably the worst possible matchup for us due to their style of play.

MU’s only weakness is in the paint defensively and in the glass . Gold is 7’+ but plays like a wing. That could hurt them going forward but I like the way they play.
