The ones who want a dictatorship are not. They are voting on their blood and soil nationalism.

Well, the voters who voted on democracy definitely are voting against Trump by large numbers. So, its a good indicator that the voters who do actually go to the polls are paying attention. Hopeful sign.

What I found is that Putin is so freaked about drone attacks that he cut some areas and it had blowback impact. Details are sketchy though. Russian media: Internet jammed in three of Russia's northwestern oblasts to protect against drones (yahoo.com)

Apathy is the nail that seals that coffin.

edit:

It is. Weird how it all works. Funny how the pedophilia didn't make it so objectionable that people still won't listen to Michael Jackson at weddings or Gary Glitter at football games? Although the latter case apparently is much better known in the UK and they stopped playing his music at soccer venues.

RNC to meet after Trump allies pull resolution to call him 'presumptive nominee' | AP News I'm told that the recent swing state poll suggests that a large block of voters are motivated by the abstract concept of "Democracy" which it would appear that anointing someone twice impeached, once for implementing an insurrection, who has inserted a corrupt ward heeler like Ronna McDaniel into the RNC to help pay his legal bills and navigate the primary process so he didn't have to run against any opposition to be the nominee seems like a bold strategy, Cotton.

Lots of chatter about russian internet being dead tonight. A result being drop off in of bot activity.

If we can spin our backups for draft pick gold like good teams do...I'm all in.

WOOT!!! I told my detroit colleague about it and immediately all the local office "comedians" were making big johnson news jokes.

Before. We had the lesser record/slot in the playoffs.

Iran was the reason why I chose the path I did in life. I wrote a book at about age 11 about a spy who freed the hostages. Featured in the book were huge crowds of people shaking their fists and shouting "death to America"! Somehow the spy in my crudely drawn book was able to pull off the job were President Carter could not. Somewhere, in the Reagan years we ended up in a sort of war on Iran over tankers and missiles. Later, much later, our gang of students at grad school would gather on our Thursday night drinking nights and chug beers shouting "bar mar am-reek ka!" (Which in our drunken minds was the death to America chant") which is the exact sort of thing you do when you have infantilized your opponent. In my fancy pants school I learned that yeah, Iran had beef. But, of course...we have beef too. Then, after 9/11 when we were in the midst of the West's righteous rage at Sunni Islam, the Shia punks in Iran said "what about us, mate?" and funded and supplied the weapons to thousands of attacks on US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We never quite took their measure but we allowed Israel to strike at their nuclear industry. Now, Iran is working in alliance with Putin to stir trouble for the Western democracies. Killing American troops is the tripwire forcing Biden's hands to act despite his wish not to. Trump is trying to slipstream this conflict back into the White House to avoid prison and to become America's dictator. Steve Bannon rubs his gravy-stained hands in the wings as he plots his leninist takeover of the US on behalf of his oligarch friends. So, my feelings at this point are that is the last thing Biden, America and the West needs but we do need to respond.

That guy Jessie Waters has quite a back story. Punch-able face and impunity to spread all manner of bull

Thanks Dr. Manhattan.

This document is public record. Its goddamn Mein Kampf for the theocrats and the kleptocrats who will swim in their wake.

Separation of church and state Project 2025 focuses on Christian nationalism, and one of its goals is to dismantle the wall of separation between church and state established by the Constitution's First Amendment. Religious freedom for believers is paramount in the Project 2025 plan, preferring religious beliefs over civil laws like the Constitution. A tenet of the project is: "The message that America must remain Christian, that Christianity should enjoy a privileged place in society, and that the government must take steps to ensure this is clear in every section of the plan, as is the idea that American identity cannot be separated from Christianity."[41]

I particularly don't need someone like Stephen A Smith or his ilk telling me the obvious.

It will be interesting to see if Hooker can stay around in development under this staff and as understudy to Goff to be an elite QB.

and have teeth so shiny white that you can light a stadium. Thinking of Schlapp here.

Its one of those things that Trump appears to reconcile himself to in his subordinates. The breastplate of righteousness crowd among his theocrat supporters tend to include a lot of closeted or quasi closeted types.

Oblong, all good points. I slept pretty well, considering. I have had sleepless nights over the Lions during the Mariucci, Bobby Ross and Fontes eras. This team does not feel like that. I've got people here in Northern VA who are not Lions fans or Detroit ex-patriots coming up to me more upset about it than I am. The cynical asshats are SOLing this. I'm not.

I'm curious if Trump was thrown off by Cohn's homosexuality becoming known or just the stigma of AIDS. I had wondered to what extent Cohn's private life was known because it was the basis of Secretary of the Army Joseph Welch's famous response to destroy McCarthy (which is an inconvenient story considering modern narratives). Cohn's lover Schine being drafted was the entire reason for the hearings. Cohn wanted to punish the Army for that.

Gibbs TD was great. His fumble was not. Huge concur on the culture attracting players. The track record with this year's draft class has been amazing. Now add in pieces.
