It's still early and the Wings have played several more games than some teams, but 1/6 of the way through the Red Wings' schedule I like the company they're keeping

we all make our choices man

Maybe you do not notice because I think you align with that party (which I honestly do not care about), but that is ALL the dem party has been doing the past 10-12 years...what you are suggesting about being more upright etc. I really do not want to get into a conversation about the good/bad of each party, but being a republican on the internet is a fruitless waste of time and it can be frustrating sometimes.

Warren is the politician I admire most along with Bernie. I knocked doors for Warren this time around and phone banked for her until she dropped out. I suppose if she ran in 2024 I'd do it again because I do believe in my heart she is the smartest and most qualified person we have in politics to be President. But I have a few concerns with her at this point, having sat through this last election cycle. #1: She'll be 74-75 when 2024 comes around and would herself only be a one-term President likely. We need a charismatic, young political figure like Obama was in 2024=. Someone who can not only serve two terms but can also be around the party for years to come to help recharge and reshape our battered brand and sell it to the masses. #2: She has a messaging problem that she needs to fix. While I personally loved her "I have a plan for that, I have a plan for everything" wonky style messaging, the average voter does not. I always like the way Elizabeth Warren talks to me like a professor, as if I am a student, wanting to be educated and wanting to hear just the facts and issues. That kind of smart, thoughtful politics, built around big, bold progressive ideas really sells to educated lefties like me. However, her professorial style of politics and the way she focuses on the issues does not appeal to the average voter, certainly not the high school educated black or white working class voter. They aren't looking for Professor Warren to get up there and tell them about all the brilliant ideas and plans she has to solve what ails them. Some of these voters do appreciate the Bernie/Warren rhetoric built around us versus them, middle/working class vs the wealthy, as John Edwards would say, Our America/Their America. What they don't approve of though is some college professor getting up there, acting like she knows everything, and talking to them like a teacher would her students. Warren can come across as too wonky and too preachy and as partially shown by the last Democratic Primary, voters don't always appreciate that. When you look at the demos of who voted for Warren, you can see it is largely white, college-educated liberals. She struggled with blacks, Hispanics, and blue-collar voters. She needs to rebrand her messaging and focus less on the specific issues that few voters outside her college-educated bubble care about and focus more on values and her personal story. The average voter cares more about generic values like equality, fairness, liberty, safety, stability, etc. than they do a 10-point plan and a 50 page white paper on how you're going to tackle poverty in America. While Warren would be a great President because of her calm demeanor, intellect, thoughtful and strategic nature, she isn't a good enough campaigner to get to the White House first. She needs to focus more on how her daddy had a heart attack and her momma had to go to work at Sears to support the family, the personal story and values that people can relate too. I don't think Warren will run in 2024 and I'm not sure she should given her age. If she does run though, she can't just go out there and run a 2.0 version of her 2020 primary campaign or she will lose again.

Still got some merch to push. Knocked down to $8.97, but only youth M and youth L are available.

I bet you were Ok with it when the dems were running impeachment hearings based on false information, pushing a fake dossier and holding up budget votes. Its no longer about the people or the country. Its about party and power and its one thing the dems do better.

For whatever it’s worth, Pujols signed a 10 year deal with the Angels. Just scrolling through the Cardinals’ 1B over most of those years, without question the Cardinals had better production from their 1B than the Angels did from Pujols. As far as the playoffs and World Series are concerned, the playoffs are pretty much a crapshoot. Any team can win a single game / 5 game series / 7 game series. I think in general a team’s goal should be to win the division (avoiding the 1 game playoff) and then hope that their roster is healthy enough to perform.

i dont think she's boring, i her personality rubs people the wrong way and she's hamstrung herself with the native american stuff. people have formed their opinions about her.

Basically to be a republican you have to be mad that Big Bird told kids to get vaccinated and you have to believe that JFK Sr will come back and annoint Donald Trump president again and make JFK Jr (still here) Vice.

I approve of Eduardo Rodriguez

I think that the first person to say "F Trump" into a microphone might have been Robert De Niro and in my opinion, no, it's not OK. It is just as bad as chanting "F Joe Biden" at a NASCAR event. I never saw a reference to it painted on the back of a sociopath's dress though.

I bet you were ok when Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey did it over lying about a BJ. By the way, the same Newt Gingrich who cheated on his wife and slept around while in office.

If the Steelers draft him to replace Big Ben he'll be McNabb, if the Lions draft him he'll be Andre Ware.

Man, I always thought you were better than these types of posts.

Ahh, ok. And yes, I did say that, because it's true. One of the many 'ewsiegisms' which I think is better defined as 'trueisms' where people on each side find themselves offended by one and proudly saying the other.

The poor innocent Republicans, lol

I was pretty worried coming in but this has been great

That kill was pretty impressive as well. This is the best game I’ve seen the Wings play this year I think.

Namestikov now has 7 goals on the year.

Adam Erne made quite a play on that goal, let's go!!

I know it is still only the 1st period, but if the Wings tonight does that prove Kenny sucks?

I didn't know Namesty had that in him! Granted whoever that defender was played it terribly but I'll take it!! 1-0!

Sorry, I will try to delete mine. We must have posted at almost same time.

I saw him play this past summer in Charlotte, NC for the White Sox AAA team. He hit a home run and clustered a defensive play in left.

Can I get the year for the season I watched him back?

I just discovered my primary care doctor follows Dr Oz on Twitter. Now I have to find a new doctor. I can no longer trust her judgement.

If it means he's off TV pushing fake science pills, by all means...

If the Tigers fail to sign one of those guys, Al Avila needs to get fired.

It was Bob Peck and Samuel L Jackson who were eaten by the dinosaur not Laura Dern.

i hope the democrats can do better than biden. i think they can.

destroy them!!!

i hope biden doesnt run again. he is too old. he did his job for his country and beat trump. time to retire.

Teary-face emoji. Nice touch.

Imagine not seeing at all how abjectly stupid trump is.

What's the solution with CRT? Just not talk about race anymore? Pretend our history until the 1960's didn't happen with regard to how we treated black people? Because that's what they want us to do. Act like slaves enjoyed working for their master and that things were separate but equal and thats the way it's supposed to be because Bible.

Hashtag the economy Hurry someone interview a republican about the economy. Dipshits

We didn't put your children in cages, and force separations of families which are still in effect. That comparison is just silly. You are comparing the nightmare of your southern border to casual tourists being denied entry into Canada. We have torrents of illegal immigrants here, people from third world countries who arrive in New York and make their way to the border, walking across from Vermont to Quebec. We have to accomodate them humanely and let the legal system adjudicate their refugee claims.

Obama tried as early as 2011 to push an Infrastructure Plan through Congress and the Tea Party Republicans said "F.U. You're a black (unspoken) Dem President so we don't give a F about the country... Partisan Republicans Only." Right?

Its not right to compate three different situations. Brown went for the officers gun. The officer did nothing wrong and protected himself. Anyone who goes for an officers gun is going to be in a world of hurt. Zimmerman is a private citizen who used lethal force when attacked. He is probably less than an upstanding citizen but still has a right to protect himself. Floyd is a totally different situation.
