  1. My masseuse who also teaches a bunch of yoga classes says that over stretching is a problem too. Of course the Tigers have probably a dozen staffers highly qualified to discuss these things so I’m not suggesting anything.
  2. Craig responded via attorneys
  3. It might be more common than you think. My reason for saying that is during either COVID or a work stoppage it was mentioned that Ken Daniels, play by play guy for the red wings was an independent contractor. I could see it being easier for all involved. “Here, you get $2500 a day when working for us. You figure out the taxes. Payable to CM LLC”. Especially in a situation like sports where you have multiple jurisdictions and counties involved. I don’t think his on air performance had anything to do with their decision. Once you see those allegations surface you cut bait as fast as you can. And that’s one reason you to the independent route. Far less employment rules.
  4. Honestly.... if Biden is too old and they have to invoke the 25th or he dies..... so what? We have Kamala as President, same advisors, etc. Nothing changes except now we have an incumbent running in 2028. The ony question to be answered is whether Biden can beat Trump. The question on whether he would be a better president or the country would be better off is not a question in any sense of the word. The people I see calling for him to drop out were ready to back people like Cruz or Rubio or Dem dinosaurs from the 90's or media pundits from washed up organizations.
  5. innocent until proven guilty, blah blah blah.... but.... come on. He's a ****ing male Kennedy. They are hard wired. Always thought it was funny that Arnold got kicked out of the family for acting like a Kennedy.
  6. They would have replaced our top trio of Norris, Boyd, and Fullmer.
  7. I saw the tweet from the Detroit News Reporter back to her asking for her to reach out... he was a former member of this community. The article says she's not done that. This is why earlier on I wondered whether this person has anybody advising her on how to proceed with this. It seems odd that if it's being investigated, as the news article says it is, then why did she come out again over the weekend?
  8. Was it ever believed that Presidents didn't have immunity for official acts? That's where I keep getting hung up... like you can't prosecute W because of the Iraq War, you can't prosecute Obama for Drone Strikes. You can't prosecute Clinton for hitting the wrong targets when going after Bin Laden.
  9. I saw a tweet referencing Paul Begala about Joe needing to drop out... something Shakespearean about a bunch of media/pundit dinosaurs talking this way. Anyone reach out to Chris Mathews yet? This is the leftwing equivalent of Fox News always trotting out the likes of Gingrich or **** Morris to talk about today's issues. Sometimes both sides are the same.
  10. It’s kind of like pornography and the way the SC defined it… “I know it when I see it” Would this ruling absolve Reagan from any of his potential crimes for Iran Contra? it also absolves Biden from the GOP wanting to go after him “for Afghanistan”.
  11. Someone said that Nixon's quote that "when the President does it, it's not illegal" now applies and that's not true. I mean... the flip side to this is they had said no immunity for anything then a President's life after office could be filled with litigation for their official acts that people didn't care for.
  12. Unless others can convince me, I'm not as worked up on this as I expected to be. As I spend 3 minutes trying to decide on official vs non official acts.... assasination isn't legal. A president is charged with faithfully executing the laws. Often Presidents are faced with 2 bad choices and they have to decide which is worse. If a policy harms 2000 people vs the alternative that might have harmed 3000 people..... with no immunity for official acts could a group go after the POTUS when they picked the first option?
  13. I'm fearful of some compromise that lets him off the hook somehow.
  14. I think the idea that "the presidency ages people" is not quite right. When you look at people like Clinton, Bush, and Obama... yes they looked "older" after 8 years, but that's because... they are 8 years older. People age, especially when you get that time frame in life-mid to late 40s and mid 50's. You don't see much difference in people between ages 25-45, but after that you get wrinkles and gray hair and age spots, etc. I'm 50 and seeing that myself. Facebook Memories is great for that. But Presidents have accesst to the best doctors and chefs around and we've seen they all have been living very long lives afterward so I'm not sure the "job ages you" thing is quite true.
  15. The NY Times are still butt hurt that Biden won’t recognize their “importance”. The NYT are nothing more than literary critics sending papers back and forth to each other in a circle jerk. Serves no functional purpose in society and solves no problems.
  16. Which used to be the normal process.
  17. I think they had a falling out but I still don’t give this guy any credibility. I’m confused as to why this hasn’t been touched by any “legit” media. Surely some reporter had to be digging around. I see four reasons in order of believability. 1) they didn’t have enough to publish without fear of a lawsuit 2) don’t want to rock the boat with the org 3) just incompetent or lack of resources to pursue. 4) there’s nothing to the story yet
  18. I would think so. I’m drifting towards an opinion this person is unstable, perhaps from years of abuse like this, and thinks in a social media world that @-ing a bunch of companies is how you deal with it. I didn’t see any reference to investigations going on. Or maybe there is already an issue and that’s what enabled him to keep doing this all these years. I am specifically not saying she’s making it up. I’m only wondering about the mechanics of any investigation or next steps.
  19. I wonder what kind of support this woman has around her. She says she is in therapy. There are avenues for Justice that a therapist should have advised on. She gives the impression nobody is listening to her. Isn’t law enforcement the first stop in getting justice? Maybe she has nobody and little money to afford attorneys.
  20. That explains the response by the Tigers when explaining his absence. her details seem pretty specific.
  21. The problem is Kamala Harris. The party would lose a lot of built up goodwill with the black community if they decided another candidate was needed and it wasn’t the sitting #2 who is slated for the same thing going forward.
  22. Who suggested otherwise. But when one debater is lying a lot more than the other then the snowflakes interpret that as bullying.
