And I will rebut with several things:
1. January 6th people in the other side of the equation tried not just to “cancel culture “(as some of you would put it) but cancel the Democratic process. Each side does this kind of political crap trying to influence corporations as I have already listed.
2. I have said repeatedly that protests are good but violence cannot be tolerated. So has the current President.
3. Home Depot can make its decision then the market will act. If they come out in favor of voting rights in general they’ll win some customers and lose others. And if they come out in favor of the change in law, same thing will happen. The idea that a large company like Home Depot will fall over this is a wild guess.
And those in agreement with a Home Depot or a Steven King rally to their cause.
Violence will not be tolerated except for the 100+ nights on the 30 or so cities. But well done equating Billions of dollars of damage and tens of thousands if not hundred of thousands of life's ruined of innocent people to hundreds of dollars and most people who were in the Capitol arrested. What happened on DC is unacceptable but the comparison is absurd. Also I am not stating Home Depot will fail, I am stating it will close the locations in cities and then be called racist for only existing where they make profits. Lastly as for Biden he took literally months to denounce the violence being perpetrated by democrat voters but many people- I think you are one- blasted for trump for not responding within minutes on January 6th, your standards seem to be real different depending on the party.

People should not lose their livelihood because they voice an opinion. What you call cancel culture are other people voicing their opinion.
Except for the fact that "cancel" culture comes along with riots and violence. If I don't like baseballs stance I simply stop watching, if a cancel warrior dislikes a stance they physically harm those that disagree. I have a whole summer of riots to prove my point.
53 minutes ago, Tenhigh said:Not really. Cancel culture is the response to people voicing their opinion. If that opinion is not in line with the extremely vocal minority, a coordinated attack will occur on them and their livelihood. Look at what happened to Stephen King when he commented about how he views matters of art. There was a full on assault. Or, if they offer no opinion at all, like Home Depot, they are boycotted.
The last line is how fascism works- you either fully agree with me or I will destroy you. Soon the home depot's will close in the cities and then they will be racist for making business decisions.

The analytics guys say punting is rarely the right decision on 4th down.
With our offense anything that is 4th and 2 or less and at the 50 should never be a punt. It does matter on who your QB is but we have the right one for it.

Couple ideas you dont understand. Sports has a long history of political uses. Protests aren’t supposed to be easy for you to ignore. NFL players did nothing wrong and disobeyed nothing on their employer agreement protesting. I’m sorry that you wanted to sit down and watch a game without hearing about black people being murdered by cops but the protest is to get people like you to have to acknowledge it.For example, if there’s a protest of a WalMart and makes the protest makes it hard for you to go buy whatever you buy there, then the protest is inconvenient but it brings light to the protestors actions to groups that may not know about the issues.
Second, the military. You do know This originally started with sitting for the anthem. Kaep was told that could be disrespectful to the military so he worked with a US veteran on the best way to protest?
Not just any veteran, but a retired Green Beret.
”
And it struck a chord with me, of course, and it struck a chord with a lot of people - a lot of people in the veteran community as well - because obviously the flag and the anthem and what that stuff stands for means something, you know, very different to us. And I was pretty upset, you know, just because I felt like he didn't understand what those symbols really represent. And - but instead of letting my anger overwhelm me, I decided to relax a little bit, and I wrote this open letter that was just explaining my experiences, my relationship to the flag.
And Colin actually reached out, said he wanted to meet with me. And we sat in the lobby of the team hotel, discussed our situation, our different opinions and feelings about all this. And I suggested him taking a knee instead of sitting even though I wanted him to stand, and he wanted to sit. And it was, like, this compromise that we sort of came to. And that's where the kneeling began.”
But again we’re still back to the right doesn’t have an acceptable form of protest for minority communities.
I asked the question previously and not a single person here answered even though everyone and their sister seems to watch quote my posts.
What would be an acceptable way for the black community to protest?
The call a riot the language of the unheard. With the right constantly telling the black community don’t protest that way, don’t protest like that, shut up and dribble, there is a reason why that community feels unheard.
You seem to be conflating the right to do something and whether you should, since they obviously have the right legally. As for the riots, all of the ones that happened destroyed primarily minority communities. How do you think those riots helped minorities? How to explain how burning down a black owned business is helpful to anyone here? I will defend the right to protest, even ones I disagree with, but you are defending the riots also.

Kid is from a well off family, and clearly understands all the trappings mean little. Material possessions mean little when you are certain you can have it if you want.

This past season a number of drafted players on defense didn’t perform up to expectations.
Ed Oliver. Excuse: was playing out of position at one tech.
Harrison Phillips. Excuse: was recovering from injury.
Tremaine Edmunds. Excuse #1: was compensating for bad DL play. Excuse #2: was too young.A.J. Epenesa. Excuse: was a rookie.
Most of the above excuses are pretty solid. That said, they all go away this season. By the end of the year we should know what we have or don’t have with all four players.
Epenesa had no training camp and was an avg end by end of season, Edmunds went to the pro bowl with a bum shoulder for 6 games, Phillips was recovering from a huge injury. All played as expected considering situation.

I gave several examples:- kneeling in protest = bad
- Lebron speaking out - “shut up and dribble”
- Black Athletes speaking out - just keep politics out of sports
- Black Lives Matter - no All Loves Matter
Two ideas here that you don't understand - many people watch sports as a reprieve from the real world, it is dumb and pointless and supposed to be fun. Anyone who thinks sports really matter are too dumb to debate. Secondly the national anthem represents the US military which as a whole has done more good for the world in the past 120 years than any other single entity has done in history, and if you disagree I would love to hear what you have. They have the right to do it but they should be smart enough to look at the whole situation.

Taking a RB in the top 10 is awful but not comparable to taking one at 30. We should take the BPA unless it is QB even if it is a RB. At pick 30 if we get 4 goods year of a RB I think it is a good value pick.

Enough people didn't care about his obvious mental decline (compared to 4 years prior) because his handlers were able to hide him away in his basement and because of the Chinese virus. They won't be able to do the same and in another 4 years, during which time he'll only continue to further deteriorate, and any crisis will only hurt him. All they have to do is wait a little longer...
I hope you are correct in regards to the ability to hide him but right now he is absent from every major event and all the liberals still over him. We have so many low information voters I know he will have a chance.

Yes.
and not only that Tim, it is directly Donald Tump's fault.
X + Y = Z
The reason I was asking is that then we should look into the health outcomes of officers who have been at these other outcomes and see if strokes or heart attacks occurred shortly there after because clearly Tibs would be crusading that all those cops were honored in the same way.

From your own link:
However, he noted that the events at the Capitol Jan. 6 "played a role in his condition."
That he died from.
So are you trying to state that the stress caused by a riot that causes a stroke means the person died from the riot?

what happens if the jury is deadlocked on whether it is murder or manslaughter? I could see a version of events where some jurors insist it not debatable and they won't budge. I have never heard of that but I could definitely see it happening here.

Of the world's incarcerated population, the land of the free claims 25%. Think about that. 25% of all the people on the planet that are locked up are here in America. One out of every four. How much of the world's human population does the land of the free represent? 4%? 5%?
Now, think about the wording of the 13th amendment. Read it. Read it again. Think about the brutally racist history of this country.
Ask yourself, is it an accident?
Do you believe that less than 20 million chinese are enslaved or in a situation worse than an american jail? If you do you are worse than stupid. Please think before you simply repeat what google tells you. The Uighers are at least 12 million in camps. Now count the people in forced camps in the middle east. Your comment is the epitome of not understanding life outside the US and thinking jail is worse thing you can experience while alive.

You know what else is a crime that many Americans haven't gotten used to? Extra-judicial murder by policemen.
And just to be clear: You can't post a single link to a reputable news source claiming that Antifa burned anything down, despite claiming that there were bunches of them. Got it. Perhaps that's because no such reports exist?
If any of you can provide any link verifying the "Antifa sets fires" version of the story, I'd be happy to read it.
To reiterate: I'm not denying that fires were set. I'm pointing out that any time angry/fed up citizens protest, riot, or destroy property, they get called "antifa" by right wingers. It's a catch-all boogeyman term that gets applied to anyone who protests police brutality or white supremacy, or who destroys property. It paints a picture of an evil cabal of violent anarchists rampaging around, destroying things for no good reason. It ignores the context of the destruction being a response to ongoing extra-judicial police murders. It ignores the context of counter-protesting White Supremacist demonstrations by the likes of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer. It falsely claims that anybody who does protest such killings or such racist displays all belong to an easy-to-label, capital "B" Bad group of people called Antifa. It's intentionally misleading, inflammatory, and inaccurate.
And you'll have to excuse me if I roll my eyes a little bit at the pearl clutching about property destruction by people who were/are likely just fine with the seditionist capitol insurrection that claimed the lives of capitol police officers and sought to murder sitting congressmen. I know at least that @B-Man and @leh-nerd skin-erdhave posted multiple links or comments that seek to minimize the capitol riot and talk about it as if it was nothing, or claim the reports of armed insurrection were exaggerated, despite the fact that Capitol police officers were literally murdered, and that we have pictures of people with zip ties and confirmation some rioters were actively looking for Pence, Pelosi, and others. 670 pages of outrage about liberal protests -- which, admittedly, sometimes result in property destruction. But where is your hundreds-of-pages of outrage about the storming of the capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election and murder congresspeople? You have no outrage about it. Predictable hypocrisy.
Property destruction by leftists or anarchists? "Bad!! Antifa! Grrrrr!"
Insurrection of our nation's capitol with intent to kill sitting congresspeople? "It's being overblown. The media lies. They were fine people having a peaceful march".
Predictable.
I believe you are a real person so I will try with you. Google " antifa burns portland" and see if you can find an article that is from a "legitimate" news- I have the hill, oregon live, nypost- so not sure who is good to you. But the bigger issue you and I have is that you are clutching pearls over people delaying a vote for a few hours. Throw them all in jail, very few are against that, and then let us discuss the billions of dollars and 10 of thousands of lives ruined by your side. Your comparison is the definition of myopic vision, ignore your own widespread destruction and focus on the small idiots.

If you are buying a new car I can give advice from doing well and doing poorly myself. Make sure you know what financing is available to you, I had a dealer offer me 8% as best offer but when I showed him I could get 3% elsewhere I suddenly got 3%. I also will warn you that often they will try to wait you out, it took me 3+ hours but I got the advertised special as written. Finally make sure you are willing to walk away, unless you are making millions 10 hours is worth 5K.

Feel free to provide a link to any reputable news source saying that "Antifa" set fires in downtown Portland last night. Fires were indeed set. Like I said, Ngo and Prosobiec would call anyone who looks at them funny "antifa".
Please also feel free to include some context around the events: The property destruction that occurred was in response to and in protest of the Portland police killing an unarmed man in the midst of a mental health crisis earlier that day.
Lastly, if you're going to quote people like Andy Ngo, it absolutely SHOULD be pointed out as an untrustworthy source every time. Not because the raw video he posts isn't actual raw video of a real thing that occurred, but because his descriptions of what the videos show have been proven to be exaggerations, misinformation, or outright lies, time and time again. They misconstrue or inaccurately describe what actually occurred, again and again and again.
Take the fire video you posted. Actual fact: Fires were set and property destroyed in downtown Portland after police killed an unarmed man earlier in the day. Ngo/Prosobiec version: "Antifa sets Apple store on fire!" [notice no context mentioned, no proof that the boogeyman "antifa" had any involvement].
I am curious who you consider a trustworthy source- CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT "They misconstrue or inaccurately describe what actually occurred, again and again and again." All of them simply google and you will see. No one should take anyone side and run with it but you don't even dispute the facts you just tried to justify it by claiming something with no evidence.

Mario only seemed to care when he thought we could win, so his effort would be awesome now. But I think that Kyle Williams rotated into those tackles would make our Dline awesome and I loved him as a player. I actually have a student who says Kyle is his favorite non steeler in NFL.

Yup. And after being shown the one or two people, help them get what they need so that they can vote. Use some of the billions of dollars raised for good.I should have added that- it is important that adult citizens have an ID for when it matters.

Right, so this one is easy - in metro ATL there were 94 drop boxes, that's been reduced to 23. A reduction of 71 available places for Americans to cast votes.
These reductions take place in Metro ATL and also restrict drop boxes to gov property and further restrict that gov prop to m-f 9-5.
Who wants me to go on, and on, and on?
Bring the noise. It's Jim Crow, and your support of it is recorded. It's who you are, looking for minority rule like south africa. face it. you lose.
You are such a racist that you are literally saying that blacks are too dumb and lazy to do what whites do.

DEFEND LESS VOTING. DO IT.
Show me the person who can not vote this next election due to these laws, it is the straw man argument. To pretend that election security is not a concern when it literally changes who owns trillions of dollars is the realm of an intellectual midget.

They had no choice. The players likely would’ve threatened to protest and not play.
It’s never a bad decision to be on the right side of history on a no-brainer like this issue.
It is amazing that you can see being completely political as a no brainer. You might be pretending it is a civil rights idea but many liberal states have more restrictions on voting so that would simply be pointing out your ignorance.

Well let me lay this out again
1. Make it a requirement to have gun permits renewed on a regular basis. Requiring deep dive background checks and going through a CE style classes in order to renew the permit
2. You fail the background check and it is determined (not sure what the metrics would be) that you could be a threat to yourself or others you lose your permit. Do you lose your guns at that time? I would think so.
3. There should be deep dives into a person's background before they get their first weapon and renew their permit. Including but not limited to social media and interviews of people you are associated with
None of my ideas restricts the access to firearms by people of sound mind.
You and others on the left can wring your hands and focus on the weapons of choice and not the brain that chose to use it for harm.
Here are the two major issues with your proposal
1) cost, who is doing this research? Do we really want to give govt more reason to spend money?
2) I will tell you the reason being on a FBI watchlist is not enough to stop buying a gun. I had a friend who was on the FBI watch list because he and his cousin had the same name and his cousin was a questionable person back in Syria, therefore every time he flew he was searched and patted down. This went on for at least 5 years while we were traveling for work.
I do not have a good answer but with our privacy laws it is difficult to determine how to keep guns out of bad guys hands.

I need someone to explain to me the defense of the black dude besides you are a racist? The black dude was harassing a girl and then hanging around her house after her neighbors intervened. The back dude was not physically assaulted despite taking steps towards the man's wife. He had no reason to be there except to annoy the residents. If this was my son I would be embarrassed not trying to turn him into a victim.
Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??

Wow tibs blaming all the world's problems on white people. You must be a terrible person to believe such a thing.
