The "media"? Let's call out specifics here. Here is OAN claiming wide spread voter fraud, delegitimizing the election: https://www.oann.com/election-fraud-mounts-as-dems-race-the-clock/ Accusing them of erasing freedom of speech: https://www.oann.com/dems-attempt-to-erase-freedom-of-speech/ Blaming Democrats for the lack of National Guard at the Capitol riot (which must be done by the executive branch): https://www.oann.com/report-dems-partly-at-fault-for-insufficient-security-at-u-s-capitol/ Now, there are abundant examples, but I pick OAN because Trump went out of his way to praise and legitimize these whackadoos. I'm not saying there are zero examples on the other side, but Right Wing politics has become a human centipede where fringe people make up wild nonsense, it gets repeated by politicians to fire up their base, who legitimize the crazy and then allows the wackos to say crazier stuff.

The Democrats Unification Tour*

...isn't the whole GOP schtick "down with the elites" but you snub a working class person who advocates for fellow working class persons and worship a guy who got a million dollar loan from his Dad? -
Unfinished. Business.

I needed that. Kyle Brandt is one of us now -
Oh, believe me, I *want* tighter regulation on big business. I want monopolies broken up. The problem is, the only people pushing for that are the Progressives. The Trump regime engaged in gobsnacking amounts of corruption, pay to play, corporate stooging and the entire GOP funding model is dependent on the mega rich donating to PACs due to the Citizens United ruling (made by a GOP majority Supreme Court) This election was about chemo before trying to cut out the tumor. I dearly wanted one of them in office rather than Biden, but the overwhelming problem was that we have an existential threat to Democracy. We just witnessed lunatics storm the Capitol chanting about the threat "communism". They've been fed a steady diet of garbage from "alternative" media sources that are too crazy for Fox News. Maybe the left isn't perfect, but if you are complaining about elites and corporate oligarchs maybe you should support the people who oppose them instead of, ya know, enabling them.

Taking this from a friend who said it well: “Your partner blind drunk tries to kill you, then the next day they’re crying outside your door begging you to forgive them, but, if you let them in you need to then shut up about the whole attempted murder business, they were blind drunk, they don’t remember, so why are you being such a B word, stop talking about it.” For the party of "personal responsibility" the GOP is bad at accountability. You know that Foreign Policy is a Center-Right publication, right? -
That depends, has he realized his mistake and come around? Because most doubled down as a dangerous corrupt con man with dreams of autocracy ***** the bed for four years. Vast swaths have deluded themselves with conspiracy theories. They are liabilities, not assets

Eagles fire Doug Pederson
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For people saying it's crazy, there has been a continual decline over the past three years since. From what I am hearing, the "told what to do" is regarding his coaching choices and the QB situation. From a local perspective: Carson Wentz was having an MVP season before he went down and Foles won the SB. He was still very good, especially last year when the Eagles were running on fumes. The issue has been that Doug won using heavy RPO with Foles, and has really tried to make that a thing. Carson Wentz was more like Josh in his second year, someone who did better when able to make plays at the line and improvise when things fell apart. He struggled in the system that worked well for Foles. Looking at it now, Carson has big money on his contract. It would be back breaking to move on from him. The relationship between HC and franchise QB is incredibly important. Things have gotten so bad that Wentz wasn't activated in the last game of the season. The decision to put in Sudfeld when the game was on the line annoyed a lot of the veterans on the team because no one told them the plan was to tank. The whole thing is a toxic mess. -
Eagles fire Doug Pederson
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've gotten a close view over the last few years. Please no. There was an immediate drop off with the departure of Reich, and we've seen what he's been doing over in Indy. I watched him going from "Big Balls Doug" for going for it on 4th and long to punting on the opponent's side of the field in his own half. He does not compromise. His SB season, they told him he needed to run it more, and he did and they had great success, but since then he just has not made adjustments from what won him a championship even though he no longer had those pieces to work with. I would rather that we try to promote someone in house before trying Dougie P. Please let him go to the Jets, and let them be mired in irrelevance for eternity.
