We have a REAL President instead of a brainless fucking MORON like Trump. Trump the Lying MF'er would have had this country in the toilet if his coup attempt on Jan 6th had succeeded. This country is still a Democracy and actually has an economy because of Biden. You need to start worshipping him instead of your love-affair with fascists. Or are you already a Proud Boy? Is that it? You ARE a fascist?

Holy crap Cade has decided to just TAKE OVER...! And looking good doing it too...!

I don't know if Putin was so much a communist... I think his main lament over losing the USSR is not so much the loss of a communist nation but, rather, the lament of losing International power, prestige, and influence. He's not running a Communist nation right now. He's running a fascist dictatorship (disguised as a "democracy") in which all power goes to him. There's an oligarchy and a Mafioso element to his fascism... But his biggest "want", right now, is not communism but, rather... more international power, more international prestige, more international influence in the manner of the more powerful Soviet Union, OR Imperial Russia, Or... whatever it takes for him to get that back. Such as attacking Ukraine, stealing Crimea from Ukraine, destabilizing the competition (western democracies, NATO, Ukraine, the United States) including and up to the destruction of western democratic institutions. Romad is correct, the only counter-balance to that is collective security, the Rule of Law, and, even though we don't really "have a dog in that fight", there is value to pulling Ukraine into the Western Democratic orbit. I'm pretty certain Biden threatened yanking Russia out of the SWIFT banking system. That's a good start.

G2 spoke to an issue a while back that is much, much more accurate... It's not so much an issue of making some unimaginable point... It is specifically related to an explosive adrenal gland that has me resembling the way I post (occasionally) in real life. Unrelated to any point being made. The unimaginable part of it is trying to deal with uncontrollable adrenaline and still maintaining some semblance of normal emotions/ life... something I've struggled with since I was 2 years old... mostly on the losing end of that struggle. And it's not as if I am ignorant of this, nor of the "public meltdowns", of which there have been (only) a couple... Highly intelligent and explosively uncontrollable emotions = difficult combination. Especially when running into absolute and completely idiotic... situations. I don't do well with abject stupidity. I will try to do better. And I almost did... I almost talked myself into completely ignoring what was posted... but then my adrenal gland took over... in sort of a, errrmmm... ok... ummm... BIG way...

Oh... I SOOO want to completely and totally shred this... piece by piece... Especially this stream of HORSESHIT: Trump SHITS all over the Constitution and THAT's the stream of DRIVEL you want to come up with? LMFAO!!! Look in the fucking mirror. This is the most delusional stream of horseshit I've ever seen posted on this board. Complete and total ignorance. Idiocy. You've outdone Stan. By a mile. Not with the rude behavior... but with the: Fox News DROOL. SMART PEOPLE are PISSED that you've even attempted to put your REGURGITATED BULLSHIT in the same paragraph with them. What you've posted is NOT smart at all. It's drivel. It's sycophantic. It's beyond delusional. It's political hackery at its ABSOLUTE WORST. My 14 year old niece could post better than the complete and total stream of ignorant BS. My gosh what CRAP. Honest question: Do you even have an IQ? I'll cut this short though... With one minor observation: It looks like... You've decided to... Go... full-on: ARCHIE BUNKER!!! The WHITE TRASH IDIOCY in your post is FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!

And you have no idea what this means either. How about starting with defending the Constitution of the United States, our Democracy, and our Rule of Law?

The lightweights come first. And the light sentences. The conspirators, and sedition and other heavier sentences come last. You're not intelligent enough to know this?

MAGA = Boot-licking Putinist sycophants.

January 6th, 2021. An attempted coup against the Constitution of the United States. Anyone who denies that is a Benedict Arnold Mother Fucking Traitor to Democracy, to the United States, to the Constitution of the United States.

So... There's a chance? Lions scouting/ drafting just better be on point. No matter who they draft. QB, or otherwise. I'm OK if they draft a 2nd round QB... they just better be right about the selection. On that basis (that they were right), I'm OK with the 2nd round QB.

Sorry... I didn't have my Sarcasm-Color turned on...

I'm eager to see Sebrango up here as well as Berggren... In fact, why not call up Sebrango and give him minutes instead of Witter? Get his feet wet so to speak...

Who did they call up after sending Brattstrom down? They're still showing Brattstrom on the GR roster...

I'm good with a 2nd round QB to see if they can develop one into something.

19 yo's are not old enough to be great and savvy. It's too early to tell... that's all I'm saying. And to Buddha's point... Grant is a great and savvy move, but the real tell on signing him will be if Weaver can turn him around for more/ better (future) assets. We are waiting on that one... (Ben Simmons, right?)

The only thing I would say on these 3 (and Saben Lee and Diallo too) is that they are still kids. Especially in the NBA.

That's a stocky dude... Unleash the POWER!!!

As close as I can get. I can't do the no-confidence thing... I don't understand the no-confidence thing. Unless it's just a pessimistic personality speaking out loud. Buddha, I think you resemble that last comment. I mean... it's pretty sucky watching them right now... And I am not going to champion their future prospects (winning, not players). I would just say... it's way too early to make any judgement calls at this point. What I would say is that, even if you don't like all of Weaver's moves, including those damn stretches... That he IS able to identify and draft talent. And this team hit rock bottom thanks to SVG, and so... we're going to be getting a few top-o-the-draft picks so... It might take a couple years but, let's see who Weaver drafts over the next two years, what kind of team he assembles, before rushing to judgement.

Proven evaluators in the Pistons front office as well. To the point that they are able to identify talent in the 2nd round that can stick in the NBA. Excuse me? They'll have a top 5 draft pick next year. And probably hit the lottery the following year as well (if they don't, that means they're already in the playoffs....) It all rests with Cade? BS. That's this year, and next year will be totally different for the Pistons because basketball teams can change just that much. This comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. None.

On confidence... It's going to be a tough slog for the Lions. There's just too much to do and too many weaknesses to fix... With the Pistons, it's just easier. It's basketball. Top 3 pick next year: Get lucky #1 and we get Paulo Banchero. Lesser pick still = Jabari Smith or Jalen Duren. The next Chris Webber/ Blake Griffin, Rashard Lewis, Dwight Howard? Yeah, we'll see about that. But here's the downriver: Jerami Grant gets pushed to SF where his lack of rebounding gets hidden. Saddiq Bey gets pushed to the bench as a 3&D Scorer off the bench that will have an advantage against most bench SF's... We just fixed 3 problems with one draft pick. I'm confident that the Pistons have an easier road to competitive/ playoff basketball and will get there sooner than the Lions. The Lions are in a worse spot with a more difficult road to travel to get back to being a good team. And might never get there (under the current Admin). I'm pretty certain the Pistons will. Even though their play this year is just as ugly as the Lions play this year...

Top 3 pick in the draft next year.

The Oesterle show...

Cade's looking damn fine. Bey is hitting his shots. Killian also hitting some nice shots! Grant doing his thing. Need to bring this play against better teams...
