It's the difference between politicians doing things for their voters vs playing a part in an overall Us vs Them narrative. The quacks are not concerned with actually doing anything. They just want to act out on a stage and be theatrical with the goal of winning the next election, whether it's 2022 or 2024. McConnell sees this as something they can sell their voters to ensure they win.

Because of this I'm ok with no big long term deals. As a fan I'm tired of dead weight on this team. I'd hate to think we lose flexibility in the future with some great talent we develop or acquire because we have this anchor of bloated deals. We are like a young family that went into debt and about to get out of it but with the low refi rates considering taking out another loan against the house to go to Hawaii and a couple of cruises.

Both parties are the same. I mean you have one wing mad a big bird. Another wing down in TX waiting for both JFK Sr and Jr. and the Gosar wing “joking” about killing another member of Congress.

God wanted us to take it and we were superior to all of them. That’s what I was taught in my fundamentalist school.

I would prefer someone under 70 but the alternative has to be a viable candidate among the dem caucus. Seems like everyone’s got a beef. It’s why I called Joe the Applebee’s candidate. Nobody’s first choice but in an emergency it will have to do.

the problem is that plays into the "dementia" angle and "who is running the country" charge. Biden needs to show that he's the boss and the one doing everything. I think especially getting Obama out there plays into the criticism. Biden needs to project strength.

Given the short amount of time we have to teach history which is more important? Ruby Ridges is 66 years old. George Washington is 289 years old. Which is more relevant to today's world?

I think in general Joe needs to get out more. Seems like the only time I see him is he's walking to and from a podium and not taking questions. Not saying he has to do Trump style rallies but he should be out there more in the southern states where it's nice letting the country know he's the President. Use the office with all that goes with it, Air Force One, Marine One, The Beast (limo).

What's the solution with CRT? Just not talk about race anymore? Pretend our history until the 1960's didn't happen with regard to how we treated black people? Because that's what they want us to do. Act like slaves enjoyed working for their master and that things were separate but equal and thats the way it's supposed to be because Bible.

Imagine taking Clemens, developing him, and Sparky not having such a beef with HoJo.

Ah. Hope it’s all good from here on out.

What’s this Brandon stuff? I missed it

What prompted you to get tested? Just curious. I wonder how many people get it and never get tested end just assume it’s allergies or whatever.

I knew who he was because I used to have this “greatest home runs of all time” VHS tape. Made around 1990. One that they showed was Wynn hitting one in Corsley field out onto the freeway. It was that late 60’s era where video quality was sketchy.

I just can’t believe that with our vax rate and now fourth wave that we haven’t reached a higher immunity. We saw big jumps in the tri county area the last week. Like 25%. Maybe that’s the final push?

According to a chart I saw from him it’s about 25% breakthrough cases. hopefully we see a lot of kids get shots over the next 2 weeks and by Christmas things are better. Comparisons to last year mean nothing to me because last year we had restrictions.

Went on a rabbit hole last night and found this one. Sissy sang the music for the movie and this confirms how good she is. Better still you got Levon on drums. The guy who played the daddy she’s singing about. Very cool.

And they show us photos of empty shelves from when Trump was president as proof that Biden is worse.

Didn’t they also go back and revise the Aug and Sept numbers? Any one else have those social media friends who claim to be non partisan yet couldn’t stop posting about the market gains when Trump was POtUs and just saying things like “hey… it is what it is.” Yet they’ve been silent the last few months? I have 4 of them.

Did he have covid already? I initially thought he was being cute by implying since he had it then he was immune. Plausible deniability.

That’s the GOP playbook. Make a reasonable charge. Play it up, exaggerate, and add on a lot of foolishness and other idiocy and when that is criticized play a victim on the reasonable issue to paint the critics as bullies.

My buddy fist bumped Chris as he was walking off the stage that night. The official photographer got it and he was able to secure a print. Such a tragic thing.

I suspect its because his voters don't respond to polls. They don't answer the phone, are unreachable.... whatever it is they use to conduct the research. They're off their grid of reachables. Just look at all the people in Dallas a few days ago waiting for both JFK and JFK Jr. You think those people will sit through a poll? What we've found since Trump arrived is 30% of our electorate are just brain dead rubes that will believe anything and are so far out there than you can't reason with them. We probably thought it was 10%. Much higher.

I think funeral directors cringe at that much makeup.
