leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 17hWhen it's an ad by a PAC, the candidate has a small amount of plausible deniability. When the candidate is saying it in her own ad, they're saying, "vote for me if you hate Somalis." 010 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 17hDemuth's newest ad kind of shocked me last night. Pro GOP ads in MN have been trying to use the word 'Somali' as often as possible for a while now, but it's always been ads by PACs, not the campaigns. Demuth doing it while talking to the camera feels like a new level of acceptance of overt racism. 110 0

leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 13/10/2026KARE11 has been doing ads to highlight their investigative journalism by talking about the fraud they've uncovered. The first 10 times I heard the ad, I assumed it was for a GOP candidate. Now Klobuchar is talking about fraud in her ads too. Why are they so dumb? 110 0

leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm not underestimating anything. It would be really ugly if they can't agree on a nominee, and they both get stubborn. But for the third time, I'll say I don't expect it to be an issue. 100 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just saying she could make it difficult if they really disagree. Most likely they pick someone they both agree on, and she resigns early. 100 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It is up to debate. It depends when she resigns. 100 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm not sure what's normal. But I could see Klo delaying her resignation if Walz wants to nominate someone she doesn't like. So the nominee will probably be someone they both agree on. 000 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026She can't hold both offices at once, but if she resigns right before swearing in as governor, Walz doesn't get a chance to nominate. If I were to guess, she resigns shortly after the election and Walz nominates someone she approves of. 200 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I think that's only true if she resigns from the Senate right after the election. If she waits, she'll do the appointment herself. Timing is still up in the air. I doubt either will appoint Craig though. 110 0

leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 27/07/2026How many teams regularly have 2 players on the floor that both need to be guarded by bigs? How many times were Towns/Randle/Naz guarded by wings and weren't hurt by it? 000 0
leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I'm officially not worried about the Wolves' PF situation. 5 years ago, the PF was nearly extinct in the league. The Wolves then decided to play big, and some teams copied them when they had success. Now I'm fine with them playing small. Add a couple bigger wings for depth, and they should be fine. 220 0

leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It's ok to question whether USAID was a positive overall. But can you admit that cutting it off suddenly with no alternatives directly killed a lot of people? And that killing those people was very very bad? 110 0

leesprouls.bsky.social @leesprouls.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I'm not sure about the active defense part. I see a lot of wide open shots in the 80s. It was more physical because a lot more action happened in the paint, but I wouldn't say active. They were playing under the same illegal defense rules of the 90s. Offenses just weren't gaming it yet. 100 0
