  1. We know why Asante isn’t a WR
  2. Allen and Mahomes are artists on the field creating plays that weren’t in the design of the play call. Mahomes did it on his short TD pass. Herbert looks like a technically proficient QB who plays the position by the book. When things break down, I haven’t seen him create offense tonight.
  3. Chiefs never seem to be road team for prime time games.
  4. As Fanhood said above, if we had a functioning government this wouldn’t be the mess of an issue it is now. I think Grahams proposal is a great start for the discussion. I don’t agree with it but I give him credit for putting something concrete on paper. I don’t see any other senators doing that on either side. I’m all for let’s have a national debate on the issue. Women/fetus having different rights depending on what state they are in is stupid. That’s why the court ruled on it years ago but both sides like the battle.
  5. I’m curious to see if Bernard is part of the strategy to control Kelce.
  6. Graham’s proposal is a national ban after 15 weeks. States can have more restrictive laws if they want. Only exception is to save life of mother and for rape. No exceptions for malformed fetus often discovered after 15 weeks. For a party that always said it was a state issue, it didn’t take long before they want to use the Federal government to take rights from women in Democratic states.
  7. This is an excellent idea for Linsey to push. Let’s have a national debate on this issue. I’m sure Mitch is thrilled with him and Trump.
  8. So dumb. I predict this won’t last. Looks like the Keebler elf.
  9. Also - On average people living in blue counties are also healthier than those living in red counties. People in Connecticut live an average of five YEARS longer than those in Oklahoma. This report is before the impacts of anti abortion laws kick in likely negatively impacting womens health. I’m sure the MAGA crowd is happy to have the freedom to die earlier. See: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-in-republican-counties-have-higher-death-rates-than-those-in-democratic-counties/
  10. No one is denying that the documents were at his club, nor that he was reluctant to return them. So, either Trump is a complete moron when it comes to document security and national security and completely unfit for the office of President (best case for him and MAGA) or he willfully intended to use the documents for nefarious purposes.
  11. Just glad I don’t live there. Way too many people for me. Sounds like a mess.
  12. Well, the reporting tonight is Trump had classified docs relating to another countries nuclear capabilities. If that country was an ally, they might not be any more. We still haven’t heard an explanation for why he was in possession of all the documents everyone knows he shouldn’t have had. What I do know is if Obama had 1/10th of the documents he had, the MAGA crowd would be screaming for his immediate imprisonment on grounds of treason.
  13. I think it’s Bruce and no one else is close to him. Josh might be working his way into the discussion. Hopefully by the end of his career, we can say the answer is Josh.
  14. Getting back to the original point of this thread…. Corporate entities like to sell fear. Fear is a basic emotion that motivates people and keeps eyeballs glued to screens. How often have we heard “if they win, they are coming for you!” The longer the eyes are on the screens, the more money the corporation makes. Truth is irrelevant in this philosophy when the goal is to feed information to the audience to maximize revenue. For an extreme example, Alex Jones has spent years making money by denying the murder of school children. Thus we often can’t even agree on basic facts of issues, let alone discuss policy of how to address the issue. Years ago, there was usually, consensus on the basic facts. Back then, the arguments were about policy for how to fix the problem. This all stokes fear of the “Other people” in America and pushes division in our country. We are all Americans. We have differences of opinion on the future direction, but at some point, we need to get back to what we all have in common and build our communication from there. Insults to others accomplishes nothing and only stokes further division.
  15. For the most part I think you are right on with this. Most college age kids don’t watch TV news and could care less about the MAGA cause. From what I’ve seen, most of them think it’s all stupid crap. What they really want is someone in office who is younger who they can relate to, which isn’t Biden.
  16. 100% agree that radio, television media and social media are pushing division for purposes of profit. I too have seen that documentary and it’s shocking how tech firms have used psychology to manipulate people on both sides. It is far worse than 15 yrs ago. The Citizens United court decision has also been part of the problem. I am hopeful that the younger generation that has grown up with tech may be less vulnerable to the tactics of division than us older folks. Unfortunately, the attitude of corporate America seems to be: if we are all making money on the politics of division, there is no problem.
  17. Wow… I don’t know where to begin. Hope you are happy. I’ll just say that if something is 70% good and 30% bad, it doesn’t mean it’s horrible.
  18. 1st time a Dem will represent Alaska in like decades. Women are voting for their rights.
  19. Honest question: Other than an emphasis on stopping illegal immigration, what other ways has he transformed the party for the better?
  20. This has always been a problem for Dems. The young people in the party have always pushed for change NOW, while the older members often prefer a more incremental pace. The Democratic Party is a bunch of various groups each of whom wants their issues to be the priority. It has been compared to herding cats. Meanwhile, Republicans are more homogenous and willing to follow the party leaders. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unions fighting for worker rights and fair pay, public education, civil rights, environmental laws, etc are all principles of American liberalism. I’m not saying liberal policies are the answer for every issue but most Americans have benefited from liberalism. In my opinion, America, at its best, has a mix of liberal and conservative policies with each side pushing the other side to defend and improve their positions on issues. Whenever I’ve been to Toronto, people seem to be happy. Hockey is cool. Calling Canada a hellhole is bizarre.
  21. Well here’s what a few of the documents look like. Hard to mistake these papers with birthday cards from MAGA. Also looks like a hard drive in the top left corner.
  22. Have you seen Biden approval rating among democrats? It ain’t great. Much of the party wants him to be more liberal, but that isn’t his nature and the politics won’t allow that to succeed.
  23. The only sheep I see is the Republican Party. The party orders are to follow Trump or be outcast. There is no tolerance for disagreement with the Orange king.
  24. The whole Trump presidency was a hoax on the Republican party. He was never a true Republican or conservative. His candidacy was all just a way to get back in the limelight and grift people. Now he owns the party.
