Barstool founder unloads on George Clooney and Democrats

Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, mocked actor George Clooney for waiting until three weeks after his star-studded fundraiser in which he raised millions of dollars for President Biden to acknowledge he's "a vegetable."

"George Clooney, what a f------ hero this guy is, huh? Comes forward today — now, this guy threw a fundraiser, raised tens of millions, co-chair for Biden, three weeks ago. Today comes out, he’s like, ‘Guess what? The guy you saw in the debate, that vegetable, that’s f------ Biden, he’s a vegetable. He was a vegetable three weeks ago.’ Acting like he’s doing some heroic thing."

Clooney called on Biden to leave the 2024 race in a New York Times guest essay on Wednesday, writing, "It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."

He added that "party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw" in the debate. "We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign."

The actor joined a growing list of Hollywood elites and megadonors who've turned on Biden following the debate, where his halting, frail and at-times confused performance alarmed supporters. Members of Biden's party, political allies and liberal media figures have also pressured the president to drop out of the race, warning he cannot beat former President Trump.

"So what, George? If [Biden] didn’t do the debate… and wasn’t a vegetable, you were just going to keep your mouth shut?" Portnoy continued. "And by the way, if you just found out Biden was a vegetable, where have you been for two years? Everyone knows he’s a vegetable."

Portnoy claimed Biden can't "get on and off a stage without getting lost, he talks about dead people like he had lunch with them yesterday. He can’t f------ ride his bike without falling down. He can’t get up and down f------ Air Force One without taking a tumble. No s--- he’s a vegetable. He’s been a vegetable for two f------ years. Democrats don’t care."

He continued, "If I know he’s a vegetable, if Miss Peaches knows he’s a vegetable [referring to his dog] if Clooney knows he’s a vegetable, if the Obamas know he’s a vegetable, if everyone in the world knows Joe Biden is a f------ vegetable, why did he do that debate? Because Democrats wanted to show the world that they have no choice but to f------ whack him," claiming Democrats want to replace him with Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he referred to as the "good-looking guy from California."

Newsom has said that he completely supports Biden and would not run against Vice President Kamala Harris if she replaced him at the top of the ticket.

"It’s all dirty politics," Portnoy said.

He said Democrats "were fine" for the last two years "putting a vegetable in our face. They’re fine with doing a fundraiser three weeks ago for a vegetable. So f--- it, let’s just have Trump run versus a head of lettuce. Honestly? The votes will probably be the same."

He said that people who voted for Biden didn’t actually like the president but rather hate Trump.

"So f--- all these games and stuff. Everyone knows Biden’s a vegetable. So let’s just do the ballot," he joked. "Trump on one side, head of lettuce on the other."

He added that he wanted to be spared Clooney’s op-ed "like ‘Oh my God, Biden’s a vegetable. We can’t.' – you f------ Democrats have known for two years that this guy’s a vegetable, and you keep propping up the vegetable and putting the head of lettuce in our faces."

He concluded, "They knew he was a head of lettuce. Everybody with a brain knew that."

Anybody familiar with this guy from his days at Marshall? Not sure where he went to undergrad, but he went to medical school at Marshall before his residency at wvu.

I was doing some online house shopping in Chapel Hill and came across a house that I like. While going through the pictures, I came across picture #11 and saw a Marshall football helmet:

NYC on Budget

All...this board has had some good discussion in the past on travel. I loved reading big_country's post about his trip out West. I have an uncle that has a dental practice in Missoula, MT so over the years I've been able to visit several times. With all of the traveling I've done somehow I have never spent any time in New York CIty. I've visited family around Boston and Philly but never really experienced NYC. My wife and I have been talking about visiting without kids in December as my in-laws are going to be spending a few weeks with us and will watch them for us. I know that NYC on a budget during December may be impossible but I wanted to see if anybody here would have recommendations for hotels, Airbnbs, etc...We would like to do all of the touristy stuff and don't mind spending some time on the subway to get around. Appreciate any feedback you may have.

Hunter Biden - Joining West Wing Meetings With Big Guy

You guys remember Hunter Biden? If not, he's the President's son. Been in a bit of a pickle with Congress for various familial quid pro quos, lingering questions on foreign agent status, guilty of firearms charges, etc... Also, federal tax evasion, fought paternity & refused to disclose financial info, had an affair with his brother's widow, self-described alcoholic & crack addict, sex trafficking, money laundering, etc...

Anywho, NBC & others are reporting that Hunter is now taking a more active part in his father's daily meetings:

WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden has joined meetings with President Joe Biden and his top aides since his father returned to the White House from Camp David, Maryland, on Monday evening, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The president’s son has also been talking to senior White House staff members, these people said.
While he is regularly at the White House residence and events, it is unusual for Hunter Biden to be in and around meetings his father is having with his team, these people said. They said the president’s aides were struck by his presence during their discussions.
A federal jury in Delaware found Hunter Biden guilty last month on gun-related charges. He remains under indictment accused of tax-related felonies, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Shortly after the jury found him guilty, he returned to his home in California.
One of the people familiar with the matter said Hunter Biden has been closely advising his father since the family gathered over the weekend at Camp David after Thursday’s debate. This person said Hunter Biden has "popped into" a couple of meetings and phone calls the president has had with some of his advisers.

Just met and hired some conservative Californians from Orange County.

Needed some work done around the house, not changing a shower head. The guys came out to give me an estimate. Ends up they are from Orange County, California. Moved to the area a year ago? Why? To escape California. The man told me his family had been in California for over 100 years. But, the state is being ruined. Ended up talking to him and his son for an hour. Hired them. Mrs herdman got tired of me talking and went to the porch. They told me about the homeless camps and what has happened to their state.

I told them we can't let that happen here. They said they have already heard that it happening here and it concerns them.

Conservative Californians do exist. They were even into guns and stuff.

rifle, they may from you area or maybe even a richer area with better landscaping. I doubt it though. I think you live in the fancy place where the rappers live.

Biden Approval Numbers Up

After falling to a record low approval ratings just two & a half weeks ago, Biden's numbers saw a noticeable uptick of 2.5% points less than a week ago. As of the 22nd, Biden was at 40%. Still below Trump's approval rating at the same point in his Presidency, which signaled Biden was in serious trouble. Be interesting to see how his numbers look at the end of next week.

"Hey Everybody . . .

. . . I am going to make you all come out here and take a picture with me of the sign with my name on it that I negotiated as part of my donation to the school. They originally wanted to use 18" tall letters for my name, but I demanded that my names was at least in 24" lettering so that it could be seen easier. Then, I am going to post the picture on my social media, because it's been about six days since I have reminded everybody on social media that I donated money and have a building named after me at the school. Next time, I am going to make it really worth all of your time to come out here, because I am going to take my shirt off and flex next to the sign with my name on it."

Don't be fooled. They are going to pivot and say Biden is OK and he can win.

They are going to rally around this clown and say it was just a bad night or some meds were mixed up. Or he had a virus or the flu. Now he is fine and the media is going to say he did a stellar job with NATO and rallying the world. He will be, according to the media and Dems, completely fine and at the top of his game. They will say it was a bad night that was exaggerated. They will say he is the one who can democracy and I heard a clown Dem say the other day Trump is an existential threat to Democracy.

They are going to try to pivot Mush Brain and say he is fine and healthy as a horse. It is coming.

Progressives enraged as Democrats reportedly privately admit Trump isn't an 'existential threat to democracy'

Of course he isn't. It's just all they have because they can't run on their policies because their policies are destroying our country.

I would like it to be known . . .

. . . that I really am trying hard to follow the board rules, but you deplorables are not holding up your end of the bargain, thus forcing me into Rifle-mode.

Last night, a deplorable made the below post on the main board. I had to call attention to it, because like most other things, I am better at moderating than the moderators are. Deplorables, you need to start policing your own before I blow this motherfvcker up:

I was right about this years ago. Names.

I said black people should stop naming their kids with names like Shamikra, Theondous, Jabizzla, or whatever. They are just made up names. I said it costs them opportunities.

Welll, here is a lawsuit about that. Now Dwight Jackson is pretty normal, but he says he was denied a job because of his name. So he made a resume with the name John Jebrowski and got the interview under that name.

Now he is suing the hotel in Detroit, MI(notice this didn't happen in the South). I have said it all along. Stop doing that to your kids. Latrocious is not an African name. That is made up. Lazondra is made up. Tywillicus is made up. Think about the economics and your kids future.

A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.

Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”

The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”

Between January and April 2024, Jackson, a 27-year-old Black man, applied to multiple positions at the Shinola Hotel in downtown Detroit, including a role in reception, according to the lawsuit. On its website, Shinola Hotel says it is a “luxury” hote


Football Loses a Staffer

Marshall Football's Director of Player Personnel, Will Drew, has left to accept an assistant director of player personnel title at Minnesota. He was just promoted to that role a few months ago.

Usually. you see P5 staffers leaving for a G5 program due to a title increase (for instance, going from assistant director to director). In this case, the director of a G5 is going to a P5 to be an assistant, which is both unusual and concerning.

More, Marshall has promoted their assistant director of player personnel to their director position. He's a graphic artist.

George Clooney, Major Biden Fundraiser, Has Thoughts On Dark Brandon

Y'all remember famous actor George Clooney from his work on Street Hawk, Combat High, & Batman & Robin? Huge lib. Married to a very accomplished lib, too. Biden skipped an international Ukraine peace conference only three weeks ago to attend a Clooney fundraiser that raised over $30 million for his reelection campaign.

Even though he just hosted a $30 million dollar campaign event to reelect Joe three weeks ago, he now has concerns.

"I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he's won many of the battles he's faced," Clooney wrote.​
"But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."​

To me, that doesn't sound like Joe's claim of having "one bad night." Also, dems love worship celebrities. Once lib stars sour on a candidate, good luck. Especially one that's actually politically connected & can raise that kind of cash.
