CTE is real and found in many autopsy’s. Some players like Trent Edwards may be more susceptible to than a guy like Brady. I think has more to do with skull thickness than anything. That said why not conduct a scan of Trent Edwards cranium thickness as opposed to someone like Brady?

A well sourced article on the policies of the Mar o Lago trio advising the VA. Interesting to note that this group are all members of Mar o Lago. Do they have the best interests of veterans in mind?

CNN is a socially liberal, war monger Network. They’ve never met a conflict they were skeptical of. I’d say they are more hawkish than Fox News. They have former CIA Anderson Cooper, and 1/2 of their panels consist of neocons. Wolf Blitzer loves propping up Israel & has never sided with Palestinians. They openly crap on Progressives and cannot stand Trump’s trade policies as its messing up the status quo establishment order. Rather than focus on why Hillary lost (electoral college aside) they focus on Russia. It makes it easier than admitting where the Democrats have gone wrong since Jimmy Carter embraced neoliberalism & they went into an even more center right stance under the Third Way revolution.

Ummm, what impact?

28% of Americans claim that god speaks to them in their head.

How am I dishonest about the Balderson-OConnor race. I predicted a R win. Another moderate D loss.

Not surprised by the results of this race at all. Lets compare the candidates key issues: Troy Balderson Republican: Balancing the budget: (Most Americans support this idea, Clinton did this) Military: (Of course) Economy & Jobs: (Yes) Building The Wall: (Good meat for the base to chew on) 2nd Amendment (More good meat) Faith & Values (Abortion - covers the evangical base) Healthcare (63% of Americans support repealing the ACA & replacing it with Medicare-for-All) Supporting President Trump (70% Americans believe Trump-Russia is over-hyped by corporate media). Danny OConnor Democrat Healthcare - Danny will fight to protect access to quality health care. (What does access mean? I have access to buy a Lamborghini but can’t afford it, nor could I afford the maintenance). Creating Economic Opportunity and Jobs (How?) Finding Common Ground (On what issues?) Combating Climate Change (How?) Improving Our Education System - By expanding federal student loans & making community college & trade schools accessible to everyone. (How is worsening the student debt crisis by loaning out more money fix this issue?) Safeguarding Our Voting Rights (Really?) Protecting Medicare & Social Security (These programs won’t be altered per Trump, so why make this an issue?)

Or Russia.

O’Connor is going to lose by around 500-1,000 votes out of over 200,000 votes cast. This is another shining example that being; centrist, moderate, corporate, and neoliberal won’t cut it in a Populist era. People want fighters not folks who speak in platitudes and cliches and don’t contrast themselves from Republican economic orthodoxy.

When we turn 18 we are given the choice to fill out a selective service card. If you morally object to war, you can choose not to fill out a card. As as far as the Vietnam War being morally justified, it was never authorized by Congress nor did it pass the UN charter 7 as legal reasoning behind going to war. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964 was overturned in 1971, and Nixon cited Article II powers to continue the war. Pertaining to Trump, he never said he was morally opposed to the Vietnam War as an excuse to for not going into the military. Trump took a medical out. Trump’s excuse was bone spurs to the best of my knowledge. If Trump failed to fill out a selective service card in 1962 when he turned 18 years old let me know. Now it’s your turn...

Do you believe Trump had bone spurs?

My opinion wouldn’t matter. If I’m a citizen of the U.S. and I’m called up in the draft I have two choices: dodge or answer the call.

It’s not a question of the morality of the Vietnam War. The question is did Trump dodge the draft? It’s a bit of a tongue & cheek reply “I like POTUS’ who didn’t dodge the draft.” I think most honest TBDers on here know Trump dodged serving his country in Vietnam while McCain spent 5 years as a POW.

It’s not a question whether a war is morally justifiable or not when it pertains to the draft and you know that.

I’ll take McCain’s service over DJT’s any day.

I like POTUS’ who didn’t dodge the draft.

Tom & Tim are both very bad at talking about a sport they never played. ?

All of the above are Paper Tigers.

The NFL is trying to get rid of injuries suffered by Ryan Shazier. I think it won’t impact or change the game as players simply won’t be using their helmet to tackle or target other players.

A fully guaranteed contract comes with less money overall. The additional risk must be measured.

That is how it currently works in Canada. I don’t see Canadians in the streets demanding private insurers take over their national healthcare. In the U.S. 93% of doctors accept Medicare. Medicare pays very well and on-time. In actuality medical billing is complicated and insurers often slow pay & sometimes don’t pay. This is wasteful & inefficient. Prices can be negotiated as they are now, and pegged to inflation. The idea that we have people going bankrupt due to medical debt is absurd.

I understand you don’t understand Economics. Venezuela has one primary source of GDP - exporting oil. They are experiencing hyper inflation not deflation. The $17 Trillion savings would be a huge deflationary event, it wouldn’t make us have inflation. But to say how it’s paid for number one understand this right now every worker pays 1.45% into Medicare & their employer matches 1.45%. This is in addition to the cost of employer provided insurance which costs around $500 a month. Assume your Medicare tax would go to 5%. Your employer also pays 5% but would get out of the business of administrating and negotiating with health insurers. At 17-19% of GDP our health care system is the highest in the world. We can bring this down to 10% and save trillions. The question than becomes how do we spend those savings to make our economy not go into hyper-deflation? We’d have some 250,000 newly unemployed bean counters at the private insurance companies, and medical billing office clerks who won’t be needed in such mass numbers.

The same way Medicare currently delivers care, except now you get better Medicare with long-term care, vision, dental & no more Part D supplemental. Because you guys are all wildly successful capitalists I’m sure you can buy your private supplemental insurance to cover Botox & Viagara. ?

How are we going to pay for a system that saves $17 Trillion over our current system? That’s laughable. How does Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, S Korea pay for their system?
