  1. Giants just signed a kicker who missed two field goals yesterday. Not sure if there is anyone decent out there to sign.
  2. Problem is defensive coordinators have no respect for our outside receivers so they are clogging the middle of the field. We either need to beat single coverage on the outside to make them pay, or Brady needs superior scheming and player execution to beat disadvantageous numbers in the short game.
  3. Trump is a total traitor. He’s doing personal private calls to a principal enemy of America while he has boxes and boxes of classified documents with him. While President, his calls and meetings with Putin were also private, which is also a breach of presidential protocol. If he walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, he’s a duck. The MAGA response is that Russia isn’t an enemy of America. The only reason they think this is because the orange idiot tells them. If Obama was doing secret calls with our adversary, the MAGA media would instantly call him a traitor. Dictators are good, democracies are bad in trump land.
  4. Absolutely correct! As storms become stronger, there will likely be more damage inland from flooding. Flooding and extreme heat waves are deadly. This is why our national security agencies have considered climate change a threat to national security for years. The damage Helene caused was catastrophic to many areas. Now consider that we are only beginning to see the impacts of climate change. We are on the beginning of the impact curve. Now America gets to vote. The orange idiot considers climate change to be a hoax. Harris and Dems are trying to address solutions to this complex issue. Trumpers and their Project 2025 wants to slash FEMA, eliminate federal flood insurance and get rid of NOAA and its free weather forecasts. https://www.eenews.net/articles/how-project-2025-would-treat-helene-survivors/
  5. So the dream of MAGA world is a great renaissance in traditional American manufacturing. We’re going to make all our cars, furniture, tools, clothes etc. here so we don’t need trade or relationships with other nations. So who is going to work in all these factories? Every factory I know of has a difficult time finding and keeping workers. Most factories I know of rely on lots of immigrant labor. Most American kids don’t want factory jobs doing repetitive labor for 8 hours a day. Americans have voted with their pocket books. They want imported consumer goods because they are cheaper and sometimes higher quality than American made products. No amount of MAGA tariff propaganda will change that. The exception I would say is critical medical, food and national defense related products should be produced here.
  6. Trump was angry and unhinged throughout the debate. That is the over riding impression I had. Harris answered the questions with substance. Trump responded with angry concepts, like his health care plan.
  7. Shakir seems to have the most improbable TDs, but he scores!
  8. So today Trump’s talking points are: Public schools are performing sex change surgeries during the school day. I guess they do it during lunch break or in study halls. He’s going to change the 25th amendment so Harris could be impeached. Russia is being treated so unfairly. His brain is mashed potatoes. Guy has no idea what he is saying.
  9. And today we can add former VP Dick Cheney to the list of Republicans for Harris. I was never a big fan of his but I give him credit for announcing his public support for Harris and recognizing the threat in the alternative. I’m still waiting to see a list of prominent Dems who are supporting Donald.
  10. The father has been charged with multiple counts now. He belongs in prison.
  11. This guy just turns the ball over too much.
  12. This sad story is about parental responsibility. A lot of kids have crummy childhood circumstances. Most don’t think about doing something like this, but then most aren’t given a gun at that age. If the kid doesn’t have access to the gun, he doesn’t fantasize about the act. What type of father gives a kid an AR? When we were 16 we had bolt action .22 rifles for rabbit hunting. School shootings didn’t exist. The kid knew the AR is for killing people. Probably thinks that’s why Dad gave it to him, so he could use it. Kids father is responsible.
  13. Need safe storage laws, then lock up the parents if the kid uses their gun.
  14. Well, today we can add Liz Cheney to the list. This endorsement might help persuade some Nikki Haley voters to switch over.
  15. This is an interesting topic that spans across party lines. The issue is real but I suspect there are multiple causes. People now spend more time in internet communities rather than participate in groups, clubs, attend church, etc where they can meet partners. Some women and men are just very picky with the attitude of “I’m not settling for anyone unless they meet all my requirements.” Many people have superficial standards based upon people’s appearance or financial wealth. Instagram images of perfect people may influence this. American culture does not celebrate the academic achievements of young people. Sports achievements are what we celebrate as a culture in our high schools and colleges. Meanwhile, the high school nerds are ruling the world. I wonder if this young male problem is present in other cultures which place higher emphasis on academic achievement. Obviously as women have more options for employment and careers, they no longer feel a need to be attached to a man for financial support. America has a culture of independence so women are doing what they need to do to not be dependent upon men. I know alot of men who earn less than their professional wives. It’s not a problem if they understand each other. Young people often move away from home for jobs in distant cities where they are on their own. Student loan debt, stupidly expensive cars, increased housing prices all make it hard for young adults. Child care, if you can find it, is crazy expensive. If you are worried about your bills, you may not be as interested in finding a partner. As Scott mentions in the video, most of the wealth accumulation has gone towards older generations. We need policies that help all young people. We are leaving our kids with some crappy issues to deal with as we refuse to address hard issues like the federal debt. It’s hard to think that they will be better off financially than previous generations.
  16. Looks like Donnie goes to sleep at night wondering about if people really think he is weird. 😂😂
  17. It’s just campaign talk. Everyone is still waiting for Mexico to pay for the wall too.
  18. I guess I agree with you a bit in that we all see the world through our partisan lenses to a degree. It’s part of how we were raised, how we think and who we are. I have my own issues with some of the policies of Biden, and now Harris. There are no perfect candidates. In talking with people i know, it seems to me that going into this election, both parties wanted someone different but were stuck with the old guy. As a Dem, I’m very happy Biden walked away. It’s time for a new chapter. Meanwhile, Trump is selling sneakers, bibles, digital trading cards and the same old story and hoping people buy it. The interesting thing about Trumps issues with veterans is it goes against Republican orthodoxy. Republicans, to their credit, have traditionally been about reverence for the sacrifices of our veterans. This latest issue is one of many fumbles he has had on this topic. After a while, it becomes a pattern and a characteristic of who he is.
  19. No one would say a word if he took pictures with the family on their phones and returned them to the family. This is about the Trump team bringing their video crew into the cemetery, intentionally disregarding federal law after they were notified, pushing aside a female cemetery official doing her job, then using the video footage for his campaign. Afterwards team Trump slanders the Arlington official by claiming she had a “mental health episode”. And finally, Trump on the stump claims to not have been aware of anything wrong. If your guy is oblivious to proper behavior in Arlington, maybe he is unfit for the job he is applying for. It’s interesting that none of the MAGA crew here can speak one itty bitty critique of Trumps behavior in this incident. The responses seem to be no story, can’t trust the media, cant trust the Army statement, Biden caused their deaths, etc. I guess the orange god king can do no wrong. If a Dem did this, it would be a Fox and Republican talking point from now to the election. If I were on the other side of the aisle, I would look forward to the day when Trump is gone from the stage. It must be exhausting to constantly have to defend him.
  20. A simple apology from Trump is all that is needed for him to demonstrate his respect for our veterans. We all know we will never see that though, since he can do no wrong.
  21. That’s a bridge too far man. Who knows what they were thinking. Maybe team Trump reached out to them to do the event so they could get the images they wanted. Maybe they are star struck by the orange idiot. It really doesn’t matter what the family wanted. Trump and his team have the responsibility of following the law and acting appropriately. They are at fault, not the family.
