That’s not what I said at all but ok. Serves me right for engaging with you. Have a good night

He needs to lead the charge on getting the votes needed for the filibuster. Whip the votes himself and get it done. He needs to take a more aggressive stance on packing the court. Even if he doesn’t want to take this step, he should do a better job of saber rattling that it isn’t off the table. He needs to be on the attack everyday on Roe. He can’t let it become another story lost in our news cycle. If he just wants to tell people they need to get out and vote and wants to go along with whatever congress come up with rather than being the one to leas then he should save us all and announce that he’s not running again.

I think that was true when the woke left blasted him about not doing more about the green new deal. That was stupid and harmful to grill him for something that the majority of the party wasn’t ready to die on a hill for. This attack on settled law from SCOTUS is very different and much more galvanizing. The pushback is not coming from entitled democrats. It’s from all sides of the party now. This is a war on our democracy and he’s not to be doing anything to try and fight it. He’s a deer in the headlights at the moment. Even if he can’t fix it, he’s got to do more to make it look like he’s doing something. This is Washington 101 stuff and he’s bungling it.

How we got here and who’s to blame only muddle the possible solutions we are faced with today. The possible solutions are probably somewhere between our two posts. Biden can’t do these things himself and yes, it’s very possible that they don’t have the votes to get them done. Still, he must try. He has to push harder and must improve the narrative that he’s not doing enough to fight against the radical right. Perception matters in politics. Maybe now more than ever. He’s doing a tremendously poor job at controlling it.

You are right. He should do nothing as the leader and face of the party. The future of the democracy is on the line and throwing his hands up is the only move. Nothing can be done and even better, let’s blame the problem on Hillary as you suggested earlier. That will work.

I am long way to the right of woke progressive but still left and I want him to do something. Lead and do something. He has done nothing. Work on the filibuster, work on stacking the court, work on codifying Roe. Many options out there to try. If the left are ok with his status quo then I fear we are doomed for President DeSantis or even worse Trump again.

Joe is doing a terrible job. He’s not doing very much and he’s a terrible communicator when asked to talk about the little that he’s doing. His lack of leadership in response to Roe has been disappointing to many Democrats. All of this said, he’s much better than the criminal con man that held the office prior. It’s not even close.

In theory, it would make sense that future free agents may hold it against the Tigers if they sue. In reality it won’t matter. The free agent open market isn’t what it used to be and players are going to go to the team that offers the most money. I do think it would be in their best interest to settle at let him go and I agree that he is untradeable at the moment. A quick search shows that someone can stay on the restricted list for 2 years. There is probably some fine print there that I don’t know about that could extend. I’m not sure if the team could then void the contract or they have to release him under the normal terms and eat the money.

Nope. In order to be in the playoff picture that means being 4th in the division. The reality is they are multiple top players away from being able to be better than Florida, Tampa Bay, Boston, and Toronto over the course of a season. I also think Ottawa is a little ahead in the rebuild and Montreal is better than they showed last year. The playoffs are still a few seasons away.

We’ve deteriorated into an environment where nothing is free of some sort of political influence. There’s no play politics anymore. Everything is politics.

Great win for Charles but yes it feels like they lost a big opportunity to make up ground in the constructors with Carlos DNF for RB. They had an easy 1-2.

Facepalm

Not sure why the TV guys are ignoring Ferrari purposely conserving tires at the moment and Max is going full out.

RB throws in the towel and gives Ferrari the 1-2 finish. They can’t possibly fuck this up with 35 laps to go, right?

So far so good from Ferrari strategy. Max takes a 2nd pit which is huge for Ferrari as now a late safety car will help them and not mess it up.

23 laps in and it sure looks like this will be another race decided by a key Ferrari strategy decision. We’ve seen how that goes. They need split the cars and do it soon.

Or maybe he’ll pull a rookie move and get way to aggressive on the 1st lap and concede his entire race.

Hoping for some odd strategies or car malfunctions to avoid a boring VER/LEC/SAI finish. I think PER has a great shot to move up the track and podium again.

Grossman better do something the next 2 days or he’s gone Monday.

I think Joe is coming in

5 strong. 1 shaky. He should stay in.

Because they should sit down

Please tell me they have someone throwing in the pen

Its either a horrible disease or a lumpy head.

Not necessarily unexpected but this is another big miss for Harbaugh.
