I listened to the entire clip and he says he can't get comfortable with the "Rinoism of the Republican Party" but he can get comfortable with a who who murdered millions of people (Jews, Poles, Journalists, Gays, Communists, Political Dissenters, etc.) by shoving them into concentration camps and gas chambers.

I'd love to work for the Lions. I could become the teams College QB Scout. Would they let me wear my SOL t-shirt and a paper bag around the office?

Looking at the guys LinkedIn profile, looks like he was a Salary Cap Analyst under John Dorsey when Dorsey was GM of the Browns. https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsosna/

The stones on Gym Jordan to bring god and morality into something when he helped cover up the sexual abuse of young men.

Detroit News: FBI arrests Michigan GOP governor candidate Kelley during raid Apparently he was at the January 6th attack on the capitol and attempted coup.

And now we're down to 4 candidates for Governor in Michigan on the GOP side. LOL!

I wouldn't be against Cassidy coming in here. He's 245-108 with a career .694 winning%. He's made it to the Cup before and kept his teams playoff competitive each year he was in Boston.

Brookings Institute Guide to January 6th Brookings Institute has a great guide detailing the events of January 6th and everything that led up to Trump's attempted coup. This is a great read in the run up to tomorrow's primetime hearings about Trump's attempted coup.

Inflation is the genie going back into its bottle. Along the lines of what E already asked earlier. Do you think if we had a progressive President like Bernie or Warren, alongside a truly progressive Congress, and they enacted federal price controls on individual goods, services, and industries, does that make things better or worse than they are now?

I read data from the San Francisco Fed that said the American Rescue Plan contributed to about .3% of inflation. I read data as well that blamed it for anywhere between 1% to 3% of the current inflationary increase. Progressive economist Dean Baker said 1% and America Enterprise Institute had the 3% figure. Lets not forget, Biden only had $1,400 stimulus checks in the American Rescue Plan. Trump wanted $2,000 checks initially at the end of 2020. I refuse to except the idea that wages need to be depressed and kept low overall for working class folks in order to keep inflation low. I think prices by corporations and businesses need to be held in check better, not working people's wages. Inflation in the UK is up 9% year-to-date. In Germany it is up 7.4% year-to-date, 5.1% in Australia, and a staggering 12/3% in Brazil. So while the economic stimulus pushed up inflation here in the US a small percent, you're seeing globally, that inflation is a problem for many countries. I think had Biden's BBB passed in its fullest form, i.e the $3.5 trillion package that folks like Biden, Bernie, Warren, and the progressives in Congress had initially wanted, it probably drives up core inflation a little bit overall, but lowers costs on things that are apart of the bill. I think drug prices, child care costs, and other items that were apart of the BBB bill would be slightly lower as a result of the federal government stepping in with either stimulus or using its negotiating power.

You're thinking of George W. Bush and that was Dick Cheney calling the shots.

She wears that white hood a little tight around her head sometimes and it clearly cuts off the oxygen.

Now that Wal-Mart owns the Denver Broncos it will be interesting to see if Broncos salaries start trending downward too given Wal-Mart's notoriously low pay for their employees. May have the first NFL contract in history for an hourly wage.

Of course not, I was just poking fun at the Walton family for their history of opposing workers rights to organize.

I wonder what kind of upheaval there will be in Denver and who will want to leave after their new Wal-Mart family owner union busts and refuses to let his players join the NFLPA? If they run their team like they run their stores you can expect them to slash payroll too, so maybe Russ is available now.

That was an excellent thread and spot on.

If Trump truly wanted to drain the swap he would have fought for anyone or all of the following policies and changes . . . 1. A lobbying ban for elected officials and government employees/appointees. One that either outright bans them from becoming registered lobbyists after leaving government or enforces a long timeline between leaving government and becoming a lobbyist. 2. Called for an end to Citizen's United and corporate personhood that allows corporate PAC money, protected under the guise of free speech, to be funneled into campaigns. 3. Called for public financing of campaigns. Building off the call to end Citizen's United, he would have advocated that all campaigns for federal office are required to be funded either entirely or at least a certain percentage of public funds. 4. Called for an end to stock trading by elected officials and high-level cabinet appointees and federal officials. 5. Proposed an end to individual state gerrymandering and pushed for legislation to enact a federal gerrymandering statue where all states are required to draw their house district maps based on the same criteria. 6. Required all Presidents to fully divest any business operations they or their immediate family own into a blind trust. 7. Required a full financial disclosure of all elected leaders, including the President, and their immediate family. This includes tax returns, investments, trusts, businesses owned, etc. Trump never called for any of this because he is too monumentally stupid to understand the complexities of these public policies and others that could have truly drained the swamp. He is also too monumentally corrupt and too much a grifter to advocate for these policy changes, against his own self interests.

I see you got the latest MAGA software download over the weekend.

We are engaged in a tyranny of the stupid!

If you like Jason Isbell you'll love Zach Bryan.

Still my favorite short film of all time, and it's not even in an actual movie, but the Simpsons.

My expectations with Okudah start with making the roster. It seems far fetched to think he won't, but the bar is so low that I'm just placing on the floor and starting with make the roster first. From there, once it is confirmed he will be apart of the 53 man roster, it's for him to at least win the starting job coming out preseason. I know he's been bitten by the injury bug a lot, but even when he has been on the field he's gotten roasted and looked completely out of place in coverage. I really hope we have a competent starting CB with this guy, but I am not counting on it at this point. I am counting on this being Quinn's last parting, sorry ass gift out of town.

A party of truly dangerous, deranged, colossal morons!

Hakkan (well Kenny by Hakkan's suggestion I'm sure) drafted this Swedish kid Hampus Melén back in 2013. I was so certain we had found our next Eurostar, Swedish sleeper after watching some film on the kid. Kid never made the roster or got a contract. Oh well, so much for that.
