1984Echoes

Nope... didn't hold... game postponed...

I feel safer having you on IGNORE. That's my freedom of choice. And it increases my mental/ emotional/ physical health exponentially.

My point is a whole lot more Republicans should have stood up and denounced Trump's stream of lies, and at the time of them, not Johnny-come-lately like Rice... And a whole lot more Republicans should have voted to impeach, not just Rice. He should have been impeached after inciting an insurrection against the United States of America. Republican gutlessness at its absolute worst. But... Definitely me... I would have called him out on his lies loudly and clearly, and demanded that he be impeached and imprisoned for sedition, incitement, and overall deuchebaggery. Just in case I wasn't very clear on that before now... 😉

They were raining 3-pointers (didn't watch, just perusing the box score) and hitting them at a 45% rate. Unsustainable... but if this team could improve on those 3-pointers, as a team... It will be a critical component of future success. 3-pointers season-to-date a teamwide 31.3%. Finish the remaining games at a 36% rate and it changes (I don't want to say "everything" but...) almost everything? The Warriors are above 36%, not certain how many other teams are. That is probably a ridiculous ask for these Pistons... But... that's my ask.

Found another gem too:

Let's see if this schedule holds up...

Detroit Red Wings, 15-13-3, 4-10-1 AWAY ESPN+ 12/27 7:00 PM New York Rangers, 19-7-4, 8-3-2 HOME

Sorry... I should have been more clear on that... I actually meant that as more of a general statement and not necessarily Rice... It's why I used "they"... but I should have been more clear...

Too F'ing late for that, isn't it? They should have voted to impeach as well.

Yeah I've had enough. Ditto.

After Okudah went down I was looking at the 1st round CB's in next year's draft thinking "damn, gonna have to draft another high round CB to fix this secondary." I'm not thinking that anymore... Now it's "Holmes will find some guy in the 3rd-4th-5th round that Glenn is going to turn onto an All-Pro." I am no longer worried about our secondary.

So many lying MF'ers... Just sooooo many....

Ding ding ding ding ding....

Unless you're Coal Ownership.

Lindsey Hunter - Allan Houston - Grant Hill... They coulda been contendah's...

Purportedly.

No on Hosmer. If it were Myers (and adding him did NOT preclude us from adding another SP + RP (1 each)) then I would consider it. It would have to be Myers + either Robert Hassell or MacKenzie Gore. But what are they asking for?

Go Evan Neal!!!

And if you want to talk about the most Farcical grasp of American Governance then we're talking about that Brainless MF'ing Moron Donald J. Trump.

Not as cynical as the Republican Party's outright boot-licking of fascism and their disgraced fascist leader.

Perfect. Except isn't he an owner and therefore could care less what the workers are actually going through? He's big business, not blue collar.

So how did AOC and Tlaib and others get voted into office...?

Why wouldn't progressives vote for Democrats? Which issues do Republicans hold that speak to progressives? (A) Hampering or outright eliminating the right of POC to vote? (B) Calling Climate Change a Hoax, or a Lie, or Overblown? (C) Support of the Coal Industry above all others? (D) Overturning Roe v Wade? (E) Giving more tax breaks to the top 1% earners in this country? I mean, they certainly do not have enough tax breaks... (F) Supporting the rights of Employers over Employees, in all cases? (G) Preventing the passage of an Infrastructure Bill? (H) Eliminating health care coverage for at least 25 million Americans? Which issue is it exactly, that progressives should then WANT to vote for a Republican?

Yes.

PS: Just in case you were wondering... I am in NO WAY stating that "stopping fascism" is a one and only issue. I am a ferocious supporter of taking measures to stop climate change. I am a ferocious supporter of supporting the middle class. That means a focus on Infrastructure, future high paying blue collar industries (EV Car manufacturing, EV battery manufacture, solar and wind industries, both utility and residential, etc.). If any tax breaks are given, I believe in giving them to the middle class because (a) 70% of our economy is consumerism and (b) give a $1 to a middle class or lower-class person or family and they spend it (consumerism). Trickle down doesn't work so giving the top 1% a tax break means most of them just sit on it (savings/ investments/ stock market) which does NOT spur the economy. Wait!!! Those are all DEMOCRATIC positions! Oh, and we can also stop fascism by voting for more Dems. My exclaiming that we need to vote Dems to stop fascism does not PRECLUDE the issue that Dems are ALSO in favor of all of the progressive issues that are floating out there. Not every Democrat. But that just means, JUST LIKE I'VE SAID MULTIPLE TIMES... Vote in more Democrats and make Manchin-moderates MOOT POINT. This isn't difficult.
