  1. I've been to Shitville. You take Hershey Highway to get there and cut through the tunnel called the Lord's Procedure. After that the road widens and it's easy sailing from there. You should hit up NowThis if you go. Heard he moved there awhile back.
  2. donation caps and if you are a politician you are not allowed to invest in the market. The only way to get real change and politicians who work for the people.
  3. This right here. They know the uneducated only understand the basics about taxes. So they can simply leave out the whole section about tax loopholes and the unwashed will be none the wiser. It's the same as talking about tariffs. You say, "we are gonna put a tax on goods from China", and the unwashed cheer. You don't need to tell them who picks up the tab. Once you've sold them on "the rich pay all the taxes" then you can convince them that "we need to give them a tax cut and all those savings will trickle down". No need to explain about stock buybacks because rubes.
  4. And this is the stupidity of the argument. Our wealthy don't take income and are allowed to live off of super low interest rate loans against their stock shares, which they don't pay taxes on either. So they go years without paying taxes which aren't factored into the discussion on purpose to twist the story in their favor. I tire of this same old shit. I have these discussions irl and you would be surprised how many people don't understand it but just regurgitate what they heard from some right wing talking head.
  5. and the counter to that is those same voters @Red Five was talking about don't want any policy that browns might benefit from. Rinse and repeat. Ole Red Five is dead on.
  6. We don't tax our middle class the same rate and our middle class isn't awarded the same programs that other industrialized nations are either like Universal Healthcare. That it is even close is already embarrassing considering the differences. That said, our tax rate on the rich isn't the same as the EU and it also doesn't take into account the plethora of loopholes that the wealthy here take advantage of to pay almost nothing in taxes.
  7. You are welcome for that btw!!! Yeah man, the current administration is trying to exhaust the American spirit. Keep that in mind everyday that this ass clown is intentionally trying to wear us down. Break us into submitting. Stay mentally strong and locked in.
  8. let me code switch for you for a sec
  9. wait til they start shutting down campus voting to make sure that doesn't happen anymore.
  10. 4.84
  11. As soon as Mitchell hit the 40 Sark made him the deep threat and had Worthy working the short to intermediate. AD was able to run by every defense we played. He didn't look 4.3 but he did look like a guy who couldn't be covered deep 1v1.
  12. Hahaha!!! Is that so? My bad!
  13. It's not just that though. Take a receiver like X. Already super lean. Already has good running technique and efficient turnover. A guy like that isn't going to benefit as much from a running coach and weight program. A guy like Golden who probably goes 5'11 and 200lbs during the season can get a lot more by getting to a lean 190 and cleaning up his technique. Jamaal Charles at his leanest ran a 10.13 100m. Had he showed up to the combine at that weight he would've ran a 4.2 40. He showed up at 200lbs and ran a 4.38, but ole buddy played way faster than that.
  14. I am not sure who this poster is as I don't frequent DT but whew! I talk about tires because its something that hit close to home. I was born in Akron Ohio, the rubber capital of the world. It used to be home to Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone, Mohawk, and General. From the late 70's til the 90's all those companies left. The buildings, abandoned, were eventually either torn down or repurposed. Akron's population has shrunk with the loss of manufacturing jobs. To bring those tire companies back to Akron, one would have to rebuild all those manufacturing plants. Build affordable housing for the thousands upon thousands of expected plant workers. Plan and build infrastructure to handle the influx of families that would come with it. That means schools. Shopping. Everything. Who is supposed to foot the bill for this? The companies you forced back ashore? How are they supposed afford building the infrastructure? And after they get everything done they would be operating at a loss because they would have to pay American workers more money. Most companies will just ride out the 25% tariffs and make that the new normal. But lets say they agreed to bring manufacturing back. You are talking about a multi-decade effort, all the while the American people have been suffering under those 25% tariffs. Sounds like a shit plan. You can't fix manufacturing sectors that have been offshore since the early 80's overnight. It's going to take a huge investment from our government. Right now we have a leader who is cutting revenue, which is what we need to invest in the infrastructure. Again. Sounds like a shit plan.
  15. Mitchell ran a 4'3 and almost 24 mph. 24 mph is moving. That's almost Worthy level turnover.
  16. And that's true. However, is the player a real world representation of what he is on the football field or is he coming into the combine "at sprinter weight", thereby allowing to be quicker than he ever has been on the football field? That's the million dollar question. Again, we are all just spitballing here as Golden is a hell of a receiver regardless of his 40 time.
  17. Some guys train hard. Some guys don't. Some guys get a lot out of it. Some guys don't. It's not equal sum. You can see it when they play. You take a Worthy or Bond. A simple end around ends up getting housed. One missed tackle on a short pass and that guy might be gone. Both of those guys clocked over 24 mph while Golden clocked 23. So Golden clearly learned how to get out of the blocks fast but in terms of pure speed he is behind Worthy, Bond, Mitchell and it shows on film. That's not to say he isn't the better receiver. Dude has a much bigger catch radius than those guys and is a flat out gamer. That's what he should be judged on anyway.
  18. The point was he has never really been a downfield guy. NFL scouts know the deal. These kids get with a pre-draft program. They get to the ideal weight possible, and have a running coach literally working with them to shave every millisecond off their 40 time. Then they get drafted and go back to their playing weight and that 4.29 is more like 4.4. So when you see scouts saying someone doesn't play fast this is what they mean. Some dudes are naturally fast like X. Other guys are combine prep fast like Mitchell. Golden is a great player no doubt. He likely isn't 4.29 on gameday. My cousin Thomas Lewis had a hammy and literally ran 4.6 at the combine but still went first round because he played fast on film.
  19. could they not get the ball to him in Houston either?
  20. When you think everyone is a weirdo....... Finish it for me Cloak Room!
  21. The Gilded Age is a best case scenario. They had the Oligarchs. JP Morgan was doing his best Elon and consulting the President. However, I don't recall a full fascist regime being in the white house.
  22. No. Fucking. Guardrails.
  23. I will keep this short. All his bullshit will do is push our allies in business into the laps of another economic giant and isolate us on the world stage. Countries will put up with his shit for as long as it takes to create back-channels. Then they will cut the umbilical cord. These countries aren't going to allow themselves to be bullied repetitively. This is going to go down as the thing that dropped the US in world standing and pushed the dollar off the cliff.
