  1. I haven’t read this yet, but drumpf and his fascists won’t be able to keep me from reading it. Resist.
  2. As Chas likes to say, it’s a feature, not a bug.
  3. And as we know, many are not paying much attention to politics on a day to day basis. That oblivious attitude may not hold for long even if they never show strong interest in being that much better informed.
  4. I think this is an example of how the simplified poll questions don’t drill down enough to mean very much. People from very different perspectives can each poll as unsatisfied with the direction but one thinks things are too liberal while the other thinks they are too conservative. I expect this to become a little clearer as the tariffs, layoffs and likely recession eat away at the non-MAGA portion that supported Trump.
  5. Why did the story put “every day” in quotes. And what constitutes work for them. Great if they really are actively leading that force of 700, but my bet would be they haven’t been more than figureheads for some time. Nothing wrong with that, just a ridiculous attempt at gaslighting from an oligarch.
  6. New candidate for punchable face.
  7. Right, people justify their jobs by coming up with new features nobody asked for. And then do it again. Bells, whistles.
  8. You continue to express “what the left thinks” or “what the left wants”. Speak for yourself, not for others you don’t have a clear understanding of.
  9. WWPW What Would Putin Want
  10. I find it incongruous that Bombers rants about Democratic purity tests, then rants about progressives (actually calling out a small fraction of same) not being worthy of respect or inclusion. Every segment of the political arena has some fringe actors that like to act out. The vast majority of progressives I know are not in that small fringe. They are practical and pragmatic, knowing that change can be incremental and aligning with the nuts is bad for everyone. Progressives are not the problem. It is pretty clear who is, why waste time on slamming “the left”.
  11. Did my part today.
  12. Yeah, that phrase seems to me to usually apply to field sports like football/futball, or to basketball where you fake someone out and they can’t adjust and basically fall down. Are they assigning non-baseball writers to cover the Tigers?
  13. And he doesn’t have to hit 50 to be successful and valuable. 25-30 would be more possible and fine.
  14. I see a range of people who voted for Trump, some more problematic than others. Sure it would be nice if all voters did research and had critical thinking skills. And understood how much the Constitution was going to and now is being trashed. But I do distinguish between the gleeful fascist element and the lazy people thinking the economy would be better under Drumpf. At least the latter might be capable of learning a hard lesson, whereas the former are too messed up to redeem. Better citizenship from all would be the goal, and I am trying to remain a small degree of hope that a really significant part of the population can return to decency and honor in their voting choices. Not welcoming with open arms, not as sympathetic as I could be, but not casting all Trump voters in with MAGA Trumpers.
  15. My use/needs probably are not the norm, but the extender works okay for me. Modem is in main house, needed wifi in the converted, detached garage. I was able to locate the extender so it beams fairly directly and I don’t have the need for max speed. I know it’s not giving me the full speed.
  16. This could be quoted and freshly shared in a number of threads. Kudos to Hong for the concise statement (in response to Archie, the f***ing idiot).
  17. Something appears to be wrong with your poutine. 😎 The beer looks fine though.
  18. He just turned 22 a few weeks ago, I think it’s a long shot he would make the team…but it is an intriguing idea. Slightly cheaper than Bregman.
  19. Okay, I was feeling nice thoughts about you guys up North and you had to ruin it.
  20. I was watching the fights and then a hockey broke out.
  21. In the article they mention Lachan had tried low-balling his siblings by offering 60% value for their shares. I hope they all take that with a deep sense of insult and grievance and vow he never gets control. F him and all the other fascist enablers.
  22. I think it also comes from seeing an opportunity to get a player they see as special enough to be able to dominate and make plays. That was what they saw in Gibbs. They could have relied on Montgomery and someone else, but Gibbs can break defenses. I think they hope Arnold will develop into a dominant CB (now that he’s not getting so many flags). They wanted Gonzales, but Terrion is close, imo.
  23. The ads are annoying. I have loaded an ad blocker recently, but it is just a free generic add-on. It seems to help, but not fully. If people have recommendations for a good tool, I would appreciate it. I use older iPads for most surfing/forum access. Dan, one of the morons.
