It also means you where a confederate flag trucker hat. Only those who wear confederate flag paraphernalia can be America First.

Stafford watch (A place for Stafford discussion)
Mr.TaterSalad replied to RedRamage's topic in Detroit Lions
So initially I said I'd lower the rent for every win over Ohio State. Then he came back to me and renegotiated a new deal at the start of last season and I agreed to lower the rent for every win over Mel Tucker. I even offered him cash back for every win over a top 10 opponent and double the money back for every win when he's the underdog. So far I've been keeping all the money I offered up. -
Stafford watch (A place for Stafford discussion)
Mr.TaterSalad replied to RedRamage's topic in Detroit Lions
I think the Stafford we saw last night, intermixed with the Matt Stafford we've seen all season, is who the real Stafford is. A guy who sometimes looks elite, sometimes looks great, sometimes looks average, and once in a while looks terrible. He's simply not an elite (top 5) QB and never deserved to be paid like one. I think he has all the physical tools to be a top 5 guy, but makes too many dumb decisions and metal errors to be that guy throughout the entirety of a season. While I don't think the Rams will miss the playoffs, I do think they will be an early exit and I'd put that on Stafford. Stafford to me is a lot like Harbaugh, in that he excels and looks great against the teams you expect him to and then in big game situations, frequently plays down and struggles to get over the hump. -
Just like Texas they don't win big games anymore, they don't win rivalry games, they don't win conference championships, they don't win bowl games. Also, Harbaugh went 2-4 last year and Texas went 7-3. And at 7-3 Tom Herman still got fired.
-
When Harbaugh loses 62-30 to Ohio State (which is my prediction for the final score) he should have his name added to the list, but sadly Michigan has lowered its standards to become the Texas of the midwest. We'll miss out on Fickell, which will be a real shame.

I watched the HBO January 6th documentary. I'm proud of myself and clear with conscience because I voted for Joe Biden and had no part of this insurrection and terrorist chaos. If you haven't watched it yet I highly recommend checking it out.

Ohio State put up 45 on Purdue in the first half. If Purdue beat Michigan State, who beat Michigan, allows Ohio State to put 45 up on them in one half of football, that means Harbaugh is going to allow them to put up 80, if you connect all the dots haha. It could be 80-0 by the end of the first half against Harbaugh and Michigan.

Well I predicted this would be a game they could win in the other thread given how poorly Pittsburgh was playing at the time. I no longer predict that win now that Pittsburgh has since won 4 straight games. Lions are probably going to get rolled on Sunday.

Remember when many on the right mocked David Hogg and students after the Parkland school shooting. Many of these same people are now defending this foolish kid.

I'm reading nothing exciting, just about the state of Working Class America from the Economic Policy Institute think tank. https://www.epi.org/research/state-of-working-america/

The days of George Will, William F. Buckley, Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush, and the thoughtful conservatives are over and done. Hell, the days of yearning for Ronald Reagan are over because no one can outshine The Dear Leader Trump. The Republican Party is now reducing itself to tax cuts for the rich, grievance politics, culture wars, and conspiracy theories about vaccines and election fraud. The MTG and Trump wing of the party will be the majority of their base and their elected leaders in D.C. over the next several years. What keeps them relevant is Democrats own bumbling, a lack of a clear message to sell nationally to the American people, being framed as anti-public safety and anti-American, an uncharismatic figure leading it at the top, and inflation hurting the economy. If George H.W. Bush, Mitt Romney or Bob Dole ran in a GOP primary today they wouldn't get 20% of the vote combined. The right has been radicalized for at least a generation, possibly more. Not only have baby boomers on the right been radicalized but so have their Gen X'er children who are between 43-55 years old. We have to deal with a decade of these people taking political power, holding office, and being the dominate voting block before Millennials and Gen Z become a strong enough force that they can overcome Boomers and Gen X'ers on the right. God help us all if Millennials and Gen Z start becoming more right wing or get hijacked by nationalism. With the rise of radicalized Gen X'ers you are going to see candidates like MTG, Ron DeSanits, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley be at the forefront of their national politics and be the top contenders for their Presidential nominee.

MTG would be whistling Dixie if she ran in a Republican Presidential Primary, right through to the finish line where she would win. If Trump didn't run in 2024 and endorsed MTG, she'd be the winner of that primary. And she'd have a base of at very least 40% to start off with right off the bat and could expand it out from there.
-
We don't elect people by popularity though, so he didn't lose in the end. I wouldn't write off MTG being able to win the Electoral College. I think she could give Democrats a run for it. We live in an era where we can't take anything for granted. I took Trump for granted in 2016, still voted for Hillary in the very end, and I'm not doing that again.

We thought that about Trump didn't we.
