  1. jesus was "brown"? how do we know what color jesus' skin was? i hate stupid shit like this that takes the little we think we know about jesus' life and tries to politicize it. i remember arguing with OMF back in the day about his contention that jesus would have been in favor of torturing iraqis to get information on terrorists. ah, the good ol days.
  2. a sizeable fan base in a very small canadian city? oh.
  3. the lions are not a popular team. come on. theyre always bad. they dont have the historical cachet of teams like the bears and the vikings either. the league isnt going to market them until they start winning.
  4. its a poorly worded tweet. i think the tweet is trying to explain what "fired for cause" means, and is not saying they were looking for a reason to not pay him. but i could be wrong.
  5. i'm not mad at you, but i would just be careful walking around bucktown/wicker park at night. https://www.google.com/amp/s/wgntv.com/news/chicagocrime/chicago-police-issue-alert-after-nearly-20-recent-armed-robberies-in-wicker-park-bucktown/amp/
  6. people who vote like me are better looking, smarter, and skinnier! the polls prove it.
  7. kind of like elizabeth warren protecting the medical device industry. strangely enough, that industry has huge ties to massachusetts. but yes, joe manchin is single handedly killing the planet, says people from the state of michigan whose representatives in government have been attempting to shelter the polluting auto industry for years. the planet is being "being killed" by china and india and your and my suv (and jeff bezos' rocket joy rides) not by joe manchin. i dont disagree with your premise about joe manchin. he's a politician. lying, grifting, and manuevering the rules and money to help big business is what most of them do. its a shame.
  8. protect me!!!! for god's sake.
  9. it would be a surprise if any politician didnt do that.
  10. yes, but regardless, a politician from west virginia supporting that industry is not a surprise.
  11. 2-19 from 3 in the first half.
  12. a politician from west virginia supporting the coal industry should be a surprise to no one.
  13. i think its a lot more likely now that the lions end up picking third than first.
  14. if you have to be vaccinated to get in, then what's the point of reducing capacity?
  15. lions do another solid for matt stafford and beat the cardinals.
  16. this officially clinches it: aidan hutchinson will be the next tj watt as the lions pick second and he goes #1.
  17. the lions practice squad is beating the team with the best record in the nfc. long live dan campbell.
  18. i think they would suck it up and vote for it, but i could be wrong.
  19. when is said there is no "right to privacy" in a previous post, i meant only that it is not specifically delineated and that is the originalist argument those three justices will no doubt write about. one can quibble whether the right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures on one's person confers a general right to be able to do whatever one wants with one's body wherever one wants to do it. not to mention whether it means you have the right to kill the other human body growing inside you. the right to bear arms is clearly stated in the constitution, the question there has to do with the interpretation of the introductory clause. and despite what you will read here, it is far from clear that the clause has a limiting purpose on the right. 18th century laws were written with such clauses a lot and not all of them were meant to limit the laws following the introductory sentences. and - not to get off on a tangent here - but the constitution was written in the late 1700s. in a functioning democracy, it would probably have been rewritten by now to reflect more modern ideas.
  20. holy cow...did jared goff just STEP UP IN THE POCKET AND THROW A TD instead of running backwards at the first sign of pressure? its almost like he's a real nfl qb.
  21. this is like watching a preseason game there are so many players out.
  22. games in the netherlands are back without fans. canada might go back to that but i doubt the us will.
  23. she was one of trump's more controversial appointments, mostly because she's seen as a future supreme court nominee. i say that just to make your day a little more gloomy. 🙂
  24. on the bright side for democrats, biden has been naming tons of judges. at a much faster rate than trump.
  25. Zemmour's popularity in France is troubling, but not unexpected. in the end, his presence probably splits the far right vote and sends macron back to the presidency. however, a sensible republican candidate could result in a real four way split in the vote leading to a potentially interesting run off.
