I'm worried about the invasion that's already occurred by people who want to turn the country back 200 years to the "good old days" when blacks and women knew their place.

The multi-cultural, multi-racial United States will survive and thrive from immigration waves. It will benefit our economy. I don't like the suicidal ideation of the US that Tucker and Laura seem to want to protect.

Hell yes!!

This is the guy behind QAnon. 😆

What is the Vikings draft strategy, to make everyone in the NFC North better than them?

Carrying 3 catchers, none of whom are much good, makes no sense at all. Your bench is 2 catchers and 2 Castros.

Just … awesome.

Lincoln (a Rebuplican!) said it best: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Not a nation dedicated to an ethnic group, or a race, or a language, or even a particular geography, but to a proposition. No-one has a claim to say anyone who is also dedicated to that proposition has any less right to be 'American' than they do. As a matter of practicality, any nation has the right to ensure orderly immigration, but there is no place in the American 'experiment' for consideration of where people come from or what they look like, which is all the current right wing hysteria is about.

Those dang Warner Bros groomers. Our parents let our brains rot every Saturday morning...(But I did gain an appreciation for classical music)

I'm curious to see what happens to housing prices. I have a theory that so many people bought and/or refinanced at sub 3% that they won't want to sell with higher rates. That will limit inventory and keep prices elevated.

Mayorkas was beaten down pretty good yesterday and he deserved every bit of it. He was asked if the 42 people caught entering the US illegally that are on the Terror Watch list had been released in the the US. His answer was that he didn't know. One Congressman called Mayorkas a traitor and compared him to Benedict Arnold. Mayorkas response is that he was offended and was proud of his service to the country. The damage he and his boss are doing to the US is irrepairable and he's offended. Too bad demented Joe wasn't there to feel the pain too since these are his policies. He probably was napping or couldn't find the room. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/homeland-security-secretary-alejandro-mayorkas-faces-heated-questions-from-republicans/

It was posted earlier in this thread he got hit by a pitch in one of their recent games, assume it's because of that.

I am not a happy camper

Wenceel Perez starting to get hot at WMI... maybe following Meadows soon?

Also just gotta say I'm liking the fact that they stopped showing the guys in the green room receiving the phone calls before the pick is announced spoiling any surprise. I think they did the same thing last year too so hopefully it continues to be like that.

Lions trade up to #3 and take Thibs.

You haven't been here long!

Casimir has the correct answer.

That's a shame because this is the year he's going to hit for power.

If Dean is there at 46 here is my guy. For sure my guy.

Is this the thread where we talk about relegation?

Ok.

I don’t know any of these people.

you always like to do this, imagine that the lions will make fun of themselves on the big stage. it aint happening. the league and the lions are not about to trash themselves on national tv. it will be a "motown" and "assembly line" thing. they'll trot out barry and calvin. it will not be anything "celebrated" about their futility. i mean, theyre owned by the nfl's leading advertiser! we - the suffering masses - will be here to snark on them. the league will not. and hopefully we are talking about the lions being a team on the rise that only needs a couple more pieces to finally reach the promised land.

of course... it all depends whether you come from one of those "shithole' countries.

Jerry Jones reveals Cowboys draft board during press conference . . .

Well I think a big part of it too, is with the "hope kept alive" later into the season, there is less pressure on ownership to build a dominant roster. If you can persuade your fans that "squeaking into a WC slot in September is just as good as leading your division "wire to wire"...then you might get away with an annual payroll of $140 million instead of $200+ million. And yes, I believe the owners are devious enough to look at it exactly that way. I actually agree with Casimir, the thought of 4 team divisions, just plain sucks. But I don't believe that the integrity of championships is as high on the priority list of the owners, as it is to fans. For the owners it's more a matter of show business masquerading as a sport.

There's a big difference between immigrants and criminals that storm the open border and invade the US. They're called illegal aliens for a reason. They're not immigrants.

This topic may not be specific to investing but it is an interesting read and don’t know that this is as public as it should be. https://www.morningstar.com/articles/1088562/big-changes-may-be-coming-to-traditional-medicare

best choice: Tigers - Jazz - Jaguars - Trash Pandas

The United States that won WWII was already a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic society embiggened by multiple waves of immigration and benefitting to the extent they were allowed from the contributions of African Americans and Japanese Americans. If had been nothing but the sons of WASPy frozen fishstick barons we might all be speaking Russian right now.

I think immigrants are super rad and hope we get more of them.

Yes - The problem is that the mindset is just backwards. The military metaphor is inverted. Immigrants are not the invasion, they are the reinforcements. I look at my students and they are all kinds of colors and shapes and accents, they are the ones that have risen to the top of the American youth cohort, and these will be the people leading whatever progress the country continues to make in the future. (I know, this kind of talk just drives the MAGA further up the wall...)

Its not lost, not at all. They're only 4.5 games out. But the offense needs to get its act together.

The rest of this thread is really good but this note is highlighted by me

so much desperation Thread Putin either knows he’s lost and wants a scapegoat or Gerasimov wants to go down with the ship because he’s broken by all this.

they'll trade for Aaron Rodgers after he demands out of GB in the morning.

Aaron Rodgers would pout so I hope they do.

Did I ever mention that I 💘 speed? Thank you Brad Holmes, I'm gonna 💘 Jameson Williams!

Still shocked Jacksonville took Walker.

T&P should be happy too.

Pretty incredible considering they are in the middle of the desert.

Any guesses on what commercial they will run during the Lions pick?

Neither. 4 team divisions suck.

Last defensive lineman the Lions drafted 2nd ended up becoming the highest paid defensive player ever at the time and has a super bowl ring. Career destroyed.

Look, man, I have a black belt in Why-I-Oughta.
