  1. GA has been getting by turning the ball over multiple times a game, and it finally smacked them in a big way.
  2. Refs can't bail them out now.
  3. Chris Cornell? No. He’s dead Jim.
  4. Manning may almost get a whole half of play.
  5. Gman decimated my wondering about taking the penalty or not.
  6. Welp, looks like Wisner got shot by the cannon. Next rb up I guess.
  7. Good to see that we can miss and drop open passes a variety of ways. Guess that shows they’re there to be had.
  8. Bonds just seems to teleport downfield.
  9. Commentator was really wrong in the five yards offsides giving Florida kicker a better angle.
  10. Hope Ewers can do more pump fakes to freeze defenders.
  11. Offensive line also allowing time for these plays to set up.
  12. A good read about controlling the media These conversations have usually proceeded along lines where people ask incredulously how a majority of voters could have believed this or that. Weren’t they bothered that Trump is a convicted felon? An adjudicated rapist? Didn’t his invocation of violence against Liz Cheney, or 50 other examples of his disgusting imprecations, obviously disqualify him? And couldn’t they see that Harris, whatever her shortcomings, was a fundamentally smart, honest, well-meaning person who would show basic respect for the Constitution and wouldn’t do anything weird as president? The answer is obviously no—not enough people were able to see any of those things. At which point people throw up their hands and say, "I give up." But this line of analysis requires that we ask one more question. And it’s the crucial one: Why didn’t a majority of voters see these things? And understanding the answer to that question is how we start to dig out of this tragic mess. The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win. an excerpt of course, there’s more…
  13. The government is suppressing ivermectin and raw milk? So much stupid crammed into one tweet.
  14. My uncle just went through all the documentation. He was getting dementia and had a legit case from where/when he served. My aunt, a retired education administrator in California, tried to help him navigate through all of the different doctor clearances and red tape. He was finally approved a month after he died. While she was angry, really she was just more sad. I think she did receive a folded flag though, so he was given a military burial. The system does need reform, but Trump isn't going to care since the wounded and POWs were losers in his book.
  15. This thread is the thread I needed. Thanks all, it doesn't disappoint.
  16. Republicans showed up though--they always do. Maybe they had 2 million less that didn't believe in their cause. But it's usually the Democrats that are sporadic. It's a bitch to get them to care about mid terms. Sure, they showed up for Biden, during a pandemic. Regardless of race or nationality, we all failed. We didn't show up for a female--twice. Maybe Newsom had a better chance, but for those believing that it was strategic that he sat out. It's not a given that there'll be another time, when each term Republicans strip and break the system more. And it's going to be tough for minority groups to get behind a white male that pretty much leaves them at seemingly static quo. Democrats have a pretty large tent and everybody has their own demands--which makes it extremely hard to unify. We have to agree on a plan that includes everybody, while meeting all of our individual needs and wants. But nothing does that quite like a direct threat today, to employment, homes and health. Trump during a time of prosperity is a theoretical threat to dipshits. And when it's all said and done, we mostly have jobs and cable apparently, since we get our views from social media and the internet. We'll see if that changes. Against sense, I'll hope that we continue prosperity, despite those that run the show. If nothing else though, it would've been fun to watch Newsom really hurt Trump's pride since he's younger, slimmer and more attractive. Oh well, nobody will go unscathed, not even Gavin.
  17. Spot on—people didn’t gravitate to the republicans, they had 2 million less votes. 16 million didn’t vote and it’s because they didn’t care.
  18. One of my fav quotes—“‘You socialize the losses and privatize the gains,’ which isn’t capitalism.” I’d add that we also socialize our pain. I voted for someone that would keep my family safe—instead of selling secrets to foreign governments. Massive irresponsibility comes with freedom too. That lesson is going to be painful. I hope jack smith publicly releases all the case docs since they don’t seem to matter.
  19. Free money for the too big to fail types.
  20. Once everything crashes jenga style, as it always does, a lot of non voters and idiots are going to be without a job and a house with high food and gas prices. Not going to say I told you so, but you're welcome. Reality will bite especially hard those that don't subscribe to it. Good luck, and I mean it, because we already know what comes next. More than anything, I really hope we don't have another global epidemic. Wait, I already mostly work from home. Carry on then.
  21. Oh yeah, ‘cause Republicans won’t fuck with voting at all.
  22. Nah man, it's not disinformation if it jibes with your beliefs.
  23. Or it's mostly a racist country. That really is a difficult pill to swallow but makes a lot more sense and easily encapsulates a lot of issues.
