I’m not sure on that one (you may be correct). What I find most troubling is that the very mention of diplomacy gets no air time from either side. Which is a real shame…for sure.

I’m not sure that I do or don’t Frank. What I know is that the Court should not be making legislation. The legislative branch however should. I’ve been saying this ever since the decision came out. We should all allow the Process to work. Given time, I’ll put my faith in the legislative Process. It’s ugly for sure, but it tends to sort itself out.

I had to step away and get some actual work done and came back to read this back and forth about ‘mutually assured destruction’ (kidding). Hard to believe my left-leaning friends on here found a war that they support so strongly. I honestly hope there’s a better way. These conflicts seem rather archaic in the 21st Century.

So what's the answer Goose? There has to be a better way than all of this carnage and destruction....no?

Thanks for sharing your list. If I had to argue, I'd say those things are what makes a good running back, a good running back. I don't think the other poster was implying that you'd take a player's fat brother because he's related. I think the pedigree attribute speaks to the 'off the field' understanding of work ethic, professionalism, expectations, etc.....which are all harder to measure, but still count for something as they young men transition from college into the pros.

Thanks....and I think everyone would agree with you there. But that doesn't mean that it isn't time for some serious diplomacy. What's the alternative? Just keep bombing and killing, bombing and killing? I sure hope not.

I'm trying to understand your comment....but I have to say that I don't.

Out of sheer curiosity, what are your Top 10 things?

And don't forget.....Trump and Putin both have a "u" in their last name. So there's that!

You STILL don’t understand what the court ruled do you?

I’ll say it again: where are the world’s diplomats? These two sides have punched themselves silly for six months. Enough already! It’s way past time for the adults to step in and break this up.

Somewhat related, but many years ago I was sitting all alone at a Vegas blackjack table and I asked the dealer why we don’t put actual money down instead of the whole rigamarole of exchanging cash for plastic chips. He said because if you had to put actual money on the table you wouldn’t sit here for more than two minutes. I’ll never forget that. 😉

BillStime….the Force is strong with this one. Keep up the fight! We need you on that wall. (Wait, can we stay “wall”?)

Wait….what…you mean the legislative process is working? Go figure. Interesting.

Sweet! Yet another issue….. solved. Let’s see what’s next on the spin agenda for today.

Isn’t there another side of the bed you can get up on? What time is it in Moscow this morning anyway? Lighten up Francis!

Crap! There go my dreams of owning an NFL franchise. Guess I’ll have to settle for renewing my subscription to Sunday Ticket…which is getting close but not quite that expensive…yet.

Pump the brakes everyone. We have a new OC this year. Let’s wait to see how Singletary is utilized in this offense. So much depends on how this team finishes. If they win it all (cannot believe I just typed that), Devin will almost certainly look to go get a big paycheck elsewhere, having accomplished the Team goal.

And at the sound of footsteps on the bridge…up he pops. It’s really fun!

He cracks me up. Our resident troll, skulking under his bridge, and lashing out as others pass by on their way to living actual lives.

Back off troll. I was right when I pointed your hate out. I have no idea what this current spat between you and DR is about but I won’t deny your right to have one. Troll on!

Ha! So I was right…..sue me. 😂

You’ve lost me on this one.

He’s not blaming America. He’s blaming Biden. Just like most Americans do.

Huh? Why are you bringing me into this? Was it a slow Trump hating news night?
