  1. But they are taught and believe that what they would have is not good enough. That what the guy next door (Israel) has is theirs by birthright and heritage and it was stolen. So the Gazans will never stop. You can’t negotiate with a people who think you simply shouldn’t exist. To far too many people the only acceptable resolution will be wiping Israel off the map. It will always be there. There is nothing you could give the Palestinians short of no israel that will satisfy them.
  2. I’m of the belief he will pay nothing in any of this.
  3. I haven’t been paying attention to the specifics. Shri’s district is pretty snaky. Goes thru Detroit to the GP area then back west south of Tliab near me.
  4. It's on Apple.
  5. I liked Suicide Squad, the newer one, and attribute that to James Gunn. So that is a positive for the future of DC. Just have to go into it knowing it's not for kids and it's over the top. For Deadpool 3.... what do you y'all recommend for us to catch up and all that? Just the first 2? Should I watch anything else?
  6. best shape of his life Has anyone yet said "It just feels different this year..... I can't explain it. But guys are crisper. More alert. We're going to focos on the little things. Rounding the bases the right way. Proper leadoffs. Staying down on the ball."
  7. Market is back up to where it was on Monday.
  8. Perhaps it is unethical but it’s how corporate America operated for a very long time. Usually it’s the man bringing along ththe woman. That’s acceptable. But a powerful woman? They gotta behave.
  9. Corporate America, always a race to the bottom to squeeze every last nickel out of things so that our investments can make an extra 1/8 of a point. You'd think with the advertisements this wouldn't be an issue/
  10. It doesnt make sense that the league would care about that.
  11. I have strict instructions to never ever get me anything with this logo on it. Usually a family member will find something at a garage sale or something with it. In the trash it goes.
  12. Maybe those folks retiring on the GOP side will go out with a middle finger?
  13. Tliab has a seat for life in this district if she wants it. Unless they change the lines. She's pretty much got a solid square, 8 mile except for a bit that jets up into Southfield, that covers Dearborn, Dearborn Hts, Westland, Garden City, stretches west to canton and stops just north of I 94 to the South. The only area that could dent her would be "Lily White Livonia" which is still a thing. The Arab/Muslim community is no longer just Dearborn. They've moved along the Ford/Warren Ave corridor going west. So many churches have closed and property bought to open up another Mosque.
  14. The Ilitch family can be very vindictive. Rumors when Lary Sorensen left were that he made a joke about a family member. It was a sudden departure in the middle of the season. Later on when we learned about his alcohol issues it makes more sense, either he said something, or was just drunk all the time. But I could see a scenario where they didn't like his schtick, wasn't enough of a company guy. Jim Northrup was too critical of the team. Al Kaline would have survived as a color guy in today's world. He would get on the players a lot. They want their on air talent to sunshine and all about marketing and promotion.
  15. Thanks. This is not the year but at some point I'm going down for ST.
  16. I think being an outsider is more lucrative. Thinking of people like Pat Caddell and **** Morris and Harold Ford. Just switch and you get swallowed up. But giving the impression of a unique voice can be valuable
  17. This district went from John Dingell to this POS.
  18. As long as the team still wears their current home jerseys with the "wrong" D on the front, I don't care what they wear as it's all garbage. I still cringe when I see highlights or photos with it.
  19. What Romney's loss proved is there was this buried Trumpism in the party that didn't accept him. He was "too establishment" before that became an official term. The populism wing. They would rather let Obama "burn it down" and rise up than let the bankers and insurance and wall street class win. Eventually that group relented with Trump so they could get their tax cuts. There's still people hanging on to hope but I just don't it. They pretend that eventually cooler heads will prevail and we can go back to the 90's with mainstream Republicans like the Good Old Days. it won't happen. Those like Heath Mayo and the Lincoln Project have good intentions but they are blind that it's over. Kevin Freaking McCarthy was too much for the crazies. The GOP is the party of Gaetz and Greene. People like Cruz and Graham saw the writing on the wall and are along for the ride. They had repeated chances to throw Trump overboard but were afraid. There is a perpetual circle jerk between the likes of Tucker and Kirk and Shapiro and that lot that will keep things moving and 40% of the voters will think that's normal because they live in a social media/RW network bubble but as long as the sane people in this country recognize that and keep voting then the republic has a shot.
  20. Is an apology expected because someone thought a thief was also a racist? I don't feel silly in the slightest for assuming it was racist. The only reason one would feel silly about it is if it turned out to be a municipal action for maintenenace reasons, like they were moving it or cleaning it, or whatever. Otherwise, it was vandalism and theft of an icon on race issues so assuming racist intent is perfectly logical and nothing to apologize for.
  21. Demographic collapse and declining birth rates huh. How can people like Tim Scott be around guys like that?
  22. Does the staff really need 5 reporters?
  23. It's like that with many podcasts I am told to listen to. I don't have the patience for it.
