  1. We watched the first 4 episodes of season 3 and kind of forgot about it and moved on to catching up on X Men and Deadpool stuff. The best part of the series to me was the characters. Disappointing if they moved away from that.
  2. I really think these kinds of “attacks” reached their sell by date. People are not responsive to them anymore. All it does is reinforce them to be crazy and weird.
  3. Out of habit I say her name wrong but I grew up a wrestling fan and there was a guy with that name and pronounced that way. But I am coming around.
  4. Isn’t that the “make your bed” guy that went viral years ago?
  5. After his birth is what I meant
  6. Palin had the initial appeal to the PTA mom types who finally took charge and wanted to run things. At least that was the initial narrative. Even with her kids pregnancies… a lot of families can relate. “Yeah our daughter got pregnant at 16. So what?” She evolved into something else but a lot of the “white trash” criticism of her resonated with other “victims” in a hillbilly elegy kind of way.
  7. It amazes me still how that side of the aisle does not understand women. Well… it does and it doesn’t. But yeah… go ahead. Piss off the Swifties. I saw a meme today that said “strong women intimidate boys and turn on men”.
  8. I’m sure it’s up for debate but Bobby Jindahl is a name I would throw out there.
  9. Following up…. John Tyler had the most kids of any president. 8 with his first wife. With his second, Julia Gardner he had seven. One of those, Lyon, who John had when he was 63, had a son when he was 65 who is still alive today. John Tyler had a daughter who died 157 years after he died.
  10. John Tyler, the tenth president, has a grandson still alive. Age 95. That grandson is also a descendant of Pocahontas thru his mother.
  11. I am on vacation and fully intended to disengage from the world. That included twitter and this site, for politics and the Tigers. Then the other day my son drops the bomb. Damn. I tried. But seeing the reaction on social media from my MAGA friends…. They are scared.
  12. Listen to a version by DMB with Warren Haynes joining them. From Central Park in 2003. I list and watch every few months.
  13. I get what you are saying. The few million votes from those select states are more valuable than the other 130 million.
  14. If Harris wins trumpies will claim “they cheated by switching at the last minute”
  15. Many of those also give Trump a pass for the disrespectful things he’s said about the military so pardon me if I don’t give them any special standing for their opinions. They are being political about it just like the rest of us. If the same thing happened under Trump they would have just glossed over it.
  16. I remember it because I was on a family vacation. My oldest was 4 and youngest 1 1/2. Today we are again in a family vacation. Ages 23 and 20.
  17. It will. They are using outdated slurs and don’t forget GenX women are going thru menopause and they embrace this **** now. A badge of honor. No more being ashamed for getting old and being a woman. They do this at their own peril. Shark week MF-er.
  18. Anecdotally I know of 4 people now who were not going to vote because of Bidens age and now they will vote for Harris.
  19. We got very lucky. Flew out Saturday morning from Detroit to Tampa. We saw people at the airport sleeing on floors. Near one terminal eceryone had complimentary blankets. Our flight was on time but when we got to tampa we had to wait about 45 minutes for a gate to open up. But I was very anxious Friday checking our flight status and wondering what I could do.
  20. That says so much. Why the **** would they care about pissing off Democratic voters?
  21. I’m on vacation and promised myself I would disengage from anything for the week but… holy ****. I haven’t read any responses and glanced at twtitter. God bless Joe Biden for what he did for our country and let’s ****ing go Kamala! I’m all in.
  22. I remember Maher saying shortly after 2016 something like “I gave Obama $X million dollars. But if Romney had won… I would have been ok. 2012 was the last normal election we had.
  23. Why is believing Jesus visited the Indians any crazier than thinking he died and rose from the dead… or did any of the other miracles mentioned in most mainline Christian circles? If you believe God can do anything then why wouldn’t he have done that? Most religions contain bat**** crazy things to people on the outside. Thats what makes the faith of the believers so important.
  24. That odd press release in ST announcing that Scherzer turned down their “great” offer said a lot. Mike Ilitch does not like it when a player of his says no. (It’s why Sergei has yet to have his jersey retired).
  25. Depends on what is meant by the 'right'. The Republican Party has been replaced by cultists. There's many former republican politicians saying that. There's a reason we didn't see George Bush, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, **** Cheney, Paul Ryan, or Dan Quayle at the RNC. They've been squeezed out. And not because of moderation. Some of those folks are as conservative as they come. But they dared question the Dear Leader. Because of that i cannot take seriously anybody in the current batch of clowns running that party and that includes Josh Hawley. Whatever they say they "heard" is justifiably not reliable. They have no redeeming intellectual qualities.
