  1. She’s pretty much a one topic politician. I’ve never heard her speak on any topic other than our involvement in foreign wars. (It could be that’s all she’s asked to comment on.) I’ve always given her a pass since she actually served, but to be in Congress you have to care about more than just one issue.
  2. Optics? Now what? Tax law isn’t about feelings and optics. Keep pushing the DNC class warfare talking points though. You’re clearly winning the day…..not!
  3. A common misconception. The overall funding is set, but that doesn’t mean the categories within the funding are set in stone. In construction projects there’s a difference between budget and costs. I deal in many projects where after the design is set, the Public Agency comes in and says ‘we want to implement a LCP’….commonly known as a Labor Compliance Program. This means there’s a unique requirement for labor unions etc to get the lions share, if not all of the work. At that point we tell the Client “so what do you want to cut out of your project to pay for your increased labor costs”.
  4. Oh come on! You guys have to admit that the look of that dark cloud hanging over the stadium on Sunday afternoon looked pretty darn ominous. I grew up in WNY but even I looked at those images and said ‘what the heck’!
  5. It doesn’t take this long to design a sports stadium. I’m guessing there’s a lot of construction budget and project funding talk going on behind the scenes, and until those variables are set in stone, all renderings are going remain under wraps.
  6. I’m guessing that he, like many others, have lost faith in the RECENT mail in voting standards and practices. As usual….nothing to see here!
  7. What propaganda are you prattling on about? Much like the legal v illegal immigration debate, the discussions surrounding the Ukraine invasion are not about whether Putin’s a nice guy. They’re about how much the US taxpayers are supposed to cough up to keep this war going. Tibs, this small incursion has been going on for months and months now with seemingly no peace discussions on the horizon. It’s WAY WAY past time for the adults to come in and break up this fight.
  8. I noticed Phillips celebrating the last touchdown with Josh. He was the first to meet the offense when they came off the field. I remember thinking….‘shouldn’t he be resting his hammy’?
  9. I cannot recall when it happened but there was also a pass interference call where I’d swear the defender never touched the WR. (And this doesn’t even mention the numerous offensive holding calls they didn’t call against the Chiefs while Mahomes runs around back there.) Really bad officiating all night long.
  10. I’m not so sure it was ‘immediate redress’ as the roughing occurred in the first half. I am sure it was a terrible call in an important situation. Something needs to be done to change the quality of the officiating. The fans are losing all confidence.
  11. I couldn't agree more. What the official said he was calling was the Raider's player supposedly pulled the Chief's lineman out of the way so the other Raider could rush the kicker. But...the player he was 'opening the door' for was already through the hole, and he wasn't the O Lineman's assignment. Terrible call! And, in this case, an actual game changer.
  12. Now the refs will call something phantom against the raiders.
  13. Quoting BillStime. Not sure what Darwin has to do with this.
  14. What in the heck is wrong with these head coaches. TAKE THE POINTS!!!!!
  15. He was arguably the best college football player I’ve ever watched in his hey day with Stanford. But with that said I’m not sure that the problem with our running game is due to the quality of our running backs. The O Line still doesn’t seem to have learned how to open holes on a consistent basis…and even CMC isn’t going to be able to fix that.
  16. Not sure if you’re arguing with me here or agreeing with me, but assuming it’s the latter….thanks.
  17. That may be true but from Joe’s hot mic comment he thinks he’s in charge and he thinks he’s been disrespected, whether OPEC intended it or not. As usual the Dems thought they could enact all of this ‘hope and change’ and that the rest of the nation/world would just sit and watch. They’ve yet to understand the concept that there’s always a reaction to every new policy. They always seemed shocked.
  18. Talk about having missed the mark…in a thread dedicated to Uncle Joe being disrespected by OPEC, Tibs has managed to work in a debate about legalizing pot. (I wonder why….no I actually don’t) Sheeesy!
  19. Tibs…I know it’s really hard for you to understand but having a different opinion is neither hate speech, or foreign propaganda. It’s actually what makes this country unique and great. I’m sorry if your yearn for a time when everyone thinks in lockstep with the central government’s position or when alternative opinions are silenced, but I’m praying we never get to that point.
  20. Ugh…the tweet said they’re targeting GOP voters with an influence campaign. So it’s your position that Fox News is the source for this campaign? How exactly? Russia isn’t running ads anymore? They’ve switched to directly paying television network commentators?
  21. Another serious question met with childish nonsense. I’m honestly curious what those advertisements would look like. Out here we have Dems running ads that are labeling Republicans as anti-abortion. Now those I can see, even if they make no sense with California being firmly ‘pro choice’. But what does a Pro Russia political ad look like?
