zadina at a -16 on the third line says a lot about how his career is going.

the one thing i know is that you dont like gorsuch. lol. social media creates rumors. plenty of justices didnt get along before this and you never heard about it because there was no industry dedicated to create bullshit rumors every day in order to get clicks.

i dont think they dislike each other as much as we think they do.

i guess you've never read a newspaper if you believe journalists won't lie to save their credibility, break a story, or just save their own asses. 🤣

goff delivered? lol. he was benched for that game and only came on after john "udfa" wolford got hurt in the first quarter. after goff had been benched late in the season because he was so bad at going downfield. goff was 9-19 for 150 yards in that game and didnt do much of anything. the rams defense won that game. i know you like to be a contrarian, but do you really think goff is as good as stafford?

no goalie is perfect. watching rangers at carolina. 1/2 the arena is rangers fans.

we adapt.

wow dylan larkin

bert, the straw that stirs the drink.

clinton had no choice but enter into nafta and let the chinese into the wto. reagan made him do it.

yes, the republicans in congress face fault too. and now - like lee was alluding to - were stuck. raise rates and the market slows down and people start to panic and then we have to decrease rates again to heat things up. easy money for everyone until inflation goes nuts or the world moves on from the dollar as the reserve currency.

its not an excuse. its an explanation. income inequality in america is not a simple issue. it is extremely complex. and increasing the highest tax rates on income back to what they were pre-reagan isnt going to solve the problem. there are many more factors at play and one of the big ones - maybe THE biggest one - is the fed handing out free money. which is not an argument that this is all bernake's or obama's or yellen's fault, but it is to say that it is probably more important in the immediate rise in upper incomes than anything reagan did. there are plenty if things they can do to transfer wealth to poor people from rich people, but the bigger issues are structural and have more to do with the fed's money policies and the government's lack of pursuit in breaking up big firms and preventing mergers. a more aggressive sec would be a good first step (and not for overhyped "facebook isnt stopping people from saying "false" things garbage) but rather to stop the cycle of big getting bigger and preventing innovation and keeping all the money themselves. biden seems to have taken that step already, which is promising.

its much easier to just blame republicans. fits the narrative better.

way to ruin everyone's day.

no, I'D be the one telling you he IS the man! you would be the one arguing with me about how he started the process of the atlantic slave trade and was mean to africans. or dont you remember our columbus conversations. lol 😉

look, there's no need to be rude, we just disagree about something neither of us will ever know the answer to.

im talking about the rise in differences between upper incomes and lower incomes. the ease of free money and the low interest rates with which businesses and financial firms can borrow money has greatly contributed to the rise in upper incomes. so has the internet. there are other factors as well, but your refrain of "reagan ruined everything" is too simplistic.

federal reserve with 0% interest rates and free money for businesses has more to do with it than anything reagan did.

no you dont.

who do you like in the 6th or 7th spot? cause that's where were picking, lol. /debbiedowner

right, you dont agree with their political views so you call them all stupid and make fun of them. i get it. secondly, no one has any idea what jesus looked like. no one. you can guess, but that's all youre doing. again, you bring this up to mock a stereotype of religious people that you have. that's all.

jesus's relationship with the essenes has been rexamined since the dead sea scrolls and many scholars believe he was influenced by them. john the baptist too.

and you have had a lot more incremental improvements (and huge improvements) in many of those things here than anywhere else in the world. that's my point.

if you think the mindset of exceptionalism - whatever that means - is exclusive to america, i suggest you spend some time elsewhere. you'll find xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and unfettered nationalism exists in lots of places. again, people who constantly bleat about america is the greatest yadda yadda yadda are annoying. but that is not exclusive to america. you just notice it because you live here and youre an american so you know all the flaws in our country. if you lived in portugal you'd be complaining about henry the navigator and all those people saying portugal is so great.

yeah yeah jesus was brown, ha! i showed you, you stereotypical ignorant white southern red neck! you have no idea what jesus looked like. neither do i. all we can do is guess. heck, we know very little about his actual life and never will. you bring this up to make a comment that you think religious southerners who disagree with your politics are racists. got it. but it has nothing to do with jesus or the interpretation of the bible. the bible is such a big book of stories that anyone can take passages from it to justify just about anything. slavery, capitalism, communism, gay rights, gay persecution, whatever you want. how you quote the bible and what you choose to think in it is relevant depends on your world view and what you think is important. like that meme about brown skinned jesus, it says more about you than it does about jesus.
