  1. I'm not trying to be an asshole but this post is dumb. You can attach any white face you want to the Dems. As long as they also come with Black, Trans, and blue haired, nose ring wearing people a large portion of this country isn't buying it. The problem is old people vote, and old people always feel like they don't recognize the country anymore. This has been the case for generation after generation. So conservative politicians know all they have to do is fear monger the olds and they will vote away their lives to keep their grandson Chris from becoming Chrissy, and their granddaughter Sara from dating Tyrone. This is why for a long time the Dems have been moving further and further right. The only thing that has ever saved the Dems is Republican recessions. Every time we get one of those the country is JUST fed up enough to vote for the Dems. Then after a Democrat fixes the economy it's back to old people worrying that Juan is coming for them. The only long term change for this cycle of abuse is for a Republican to hurt the system so bad that we don't immediately forget about it. Think 1930's Germany. That's the only way to hit the reset button.
  2. Yeah, in our lifetimes the Dems have moved further right.
  3. But all good when other people were suffering right? Fuck right off to the poor house. Is Walmart still doing greeters? Or maybe you can make widgets in those factories that Trump is bringing back.
  4. Can't argue that logic!
  5. We ARE talking about a dude who just levied tarriffs on the entire world.
  6. No offense taken Imma. I just don't believe that anything will happen with this dude in office. Trump had to have a "get off the field" guy to keep him from giving orders to shoot protestors. He is deporting college kids that peacefully protest, and holding their Uni's hostage financially. Same dude was laughing about Musk firing protestors at Tesla. The only thing that will get through will be tearing the motherfucker up.
  7. I don't want violence but as a black person we never got anything accomplished unless there was violence by us or against us.
  8. Protests need to be violent on one side or the other or they get ignored. History has shown this.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. let me code switch for you for a sec
  17. wait til they start shutting down campus voting to make sure that doesn't happen anymore.
  18. 4.84
  19. 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.
  20. Hahaha!!! Is that so? My bad!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Mitchell ran a 4'3 and almost 24 mph. 24 mph is moving. That's almost Worthy level turnover.
  24. 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.
