It does, and there's plenty of ways to do it and still fund these kinds of bills.

For the “far share bro” crowd

No way you should be allowed to buy a Lambo wearing beige sandals with socks.

So the top earners pay closer to their fair share and we are supposed to be mad?

So I want russia gone, totally gone, more than anyone here. What I don't like is the new "You don't want to give Ukraine ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD??? YOU MUST LOVE PUTIN" which has become a thing. With that said, if these leads to russia being gone, that is great news.

I would SO much rather hear that than a bunch of lip syncing.

Spending needs to go down. Way down. It is going to doom us. Well not any old f#&%ers that are in office just people my age. The same group of boomers who lecture young people about fiscal responsibility have none that run this country. It is laundering to push more money into their pockets.

I am one who agrees with the majority here. Regardless, can we just move past putting 75 yo men/women into the presidential seat. For Heavens sake we are a country of 350 million and we can't find better candidates to lead our nation??? Reuters Link to Double Standards Poll

I mean we should all just be inured to it at this point. The leader of the Republican party, a rich draft dodger who's never paid a bill in his life, stood on a stage and mocked his token opponent's husband for being deployed overseas and threatened to betray our allies to his idol Putin if they didn't - checks notes - pay their bills. His loving crowd cheered and laughed. I'm listening to a Republican Congresswoman on Sirius right now supporting not voting on the foreign aid bill the Senate just passed with $60B for her homeland because it has no border security provisions. After they complained that a foreign aid bill needed border security provisions previously and successfully got them included into a bipartisan bill doing both things. Then personally tanked said bill after their aforementioned leader decided it would be bad for him personally in an election year and the leader of her caucus called it dead on arrival before even seeing it. She was asked why her party tanked the bill that had border security provisions they wanted? She questioned if it was such a strong bill, why didn't it pass the Senate? This is not a serious party and these are not serious people. They've completely lost the ability to care about being hypocrites or the capacity for shame. It's all about power, baby. At this point they thrive on people being too stupid to realize how malignant they are. And if we as a people are too stupid to force them to reckon with their failings, nothing will change. Within the confines of the s#!tty two-party system we have, we'll continue to get the representation we deserve, and it will not be good.

I realized a while ago I am no longer a target demographic for anything except AARP ads and depends commercials. I really could care less about the HT show. It is a time to load up on food and go to the bathroom. Now, get off of my lawn!!!

Why does MAGA hate America so much?

The usual Putinists along with the likes of Graham and Rubio who have flip-flopped due pressure from The Orange Guy. Then there's Lankford trying rehabilitate his MAGA credentials after having his legs cut out from under him for of all things, negotiating with the Libs. This iteration of the GOP has no shame, no backbone. But I do remember being told that there isn't any evidence the party has gone full Putinist. Really?

He got the same treatment as Pence and the same Donald would have got if he cooperated instead of hiding documents.

But, MAGA Mike must take orders from the dear leader.

I like Sears getting the start on Friday. He's an experienced starter that wasn't used last year in that position. I understand Walsh getting to start too with his gas and slider. Caleb surprises me as I expected Christo to get a shot. Maybe Bolt/Childress want Christo as the mid week starter and long relief. Still, if Christo's control has improved and his change really is a useful pitch I wonder how good Walsh and Clark must be throwing right now. Clark to me is the biggest surprise, let's hope it's a good surprise. He's a lefty (like Walsh) so I like that and he flat has juice with movement. Can't walk batters though so Sunday is a good spot for now. Sears should top mid 90's and throws a slurve/change as an out pitch. Right Handed location pitcher. We need a go to Friday starter so honestly, I think it will be trial by fire.

Per Evan Bland of the OWH, Nebraska starting rotation is: Fri vs Baylor: Brett Sears Sat vs TTU: Will Walsh Sun vs OU: Caleb Clark What do you think @Loebarth?

i think we should arrest tucker then offer to trade him to russia for our jailed journalists

OK. But your lawn looks like sh!! anyway.

at about the 30 second mark in the video he uses a variation of the thousand year reich in his speech

I always find it interesting how people get so worked up about the halftime show. The NFL has been doing these for a very long time and, quite frankly, it's almost impossible to get something amazing and unique that is going to appeal to everyone. So...kick back and enjoy it. If it's not your type of music, get up, go get something to eat, go to the bathroom, get another drink and then sit down to watch the second half. Honestly, I didn't even watch this one. Most are going to be similar to this. Every once in a while, you're going to get something great like Prince. But, if not...no big deal.

Hang on to your a$$...today is going to be brutal for stocks.

Where is Snoopy when we need him??

It really tickles me that you twice voted for a rapist and you're not self aware which to see the irony in all the weird Twitter posts you link in these threads. Like, maybe, just maybe, the people who voted for the rapist career criminal who tried to subvert Democracy aren't really people we should take seriously?

Alicia Keyes is a great singer but the halftime show in general was garbage. Please do better next time NFL.

It's not dissimilar to athleticism. Raw talent you're born with or not can be and is a huge factor, but there's also a *ton* you can do to train and learn and get better as a singer.

The Chiefs are right behind Dallas I believe in television draw even with its market size, combined with it being a very compelling matchup that was a good game (SF had a great team with star power), Mahomes is the biggest name in the sport by far, more and more states add gambling which adds reasons to watch and the Swift effect. It all adds up to bigger numbers imo. Not just one thing.

CNN: Senate passes $95 billion package with aid for Ukraine and Israel, setting up showdown with the House All said and done, it took the neocons less than a week to write/pass this amendment and then pass the bill. I think it's hilarious Rand Paul was grandstanding about how he drug the process out . The vote was an easy 70-29. The amendment has all the spending. There's hardly a paragraph that doesn't spend $100s of millions. Space Force got $12M, FEMA only $10M: H.R. 815: RELIEVE Act vote S.Amdt.1388 to H.R.815 text I can't wait for the the exact opposite to happen in the House...

This is incredible S-Tier social media presence by his communications staff. So funny.

Wait...from red to green!!!! YES

A lot of those big tech/AI stocks have been so hot...might be time for a fall...

Mitch must have blue screened again, and forgot what he was voting for when he rebooted.

This whole thing has just been republicans playing political games.

The DNC must also be honest with itself and the people they keep hitting up for money. They traded on the familiarity and yes, amiable moderation of Joe Biden, in order to avoid Bernie Sanders and beat Donald Trump, knowing they might need to recalculate for 2024. I guess the idea was to groom Kamala to make it seamless. But that same across-the-aisle centrist got hammered as a socialist, no different than Bernie, and now his age comes knocking as everyone knew it might. The devil's bargain was to beat Trump at any cost in 2020, and figure he would go away as the GOP came to its senses. I did not have money on Republicans doubling down on their own insanity.

Wait what?!??? Last time you said it was so they could save a few cents on cheese?

It is such an odd spot because how do you not have a sitting president run again. My gambling site updated again and it is now pretty much 50/50, where a few days ago Trump was "favored"

Why does Iowa have so many coaches that are a special kind of D bag?

The people that defend Joe or Don's memory sound like kids that don't want to accept the fact that their parents are losing their mind. They both are and it is only going to get worse, not better. That much we know. And for the most part, it is normal. It is what tends to happen as we age.

Contrary to popular opinion, I’m not a Dr. However, I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express before. My mom is in Memory Care. Her mom was diagnosed and two of her 4 sisters are in assisted living/memory care. It runs in the family. Forgive me if I don’t care what pisses you off. The Big Guys has memory issues. The entire world can see it, and if you truly work with memory patients everyday you understand it ain’t getting any better and most likely one day with quickly progress. Not something we need as a President.

OK doctor Archy. When you actually work with people who have dementia every single day, this type of armchair doctoring actually pisses me off. But by all means, nobody seems to let reality ruin a good narrative so please, continue.

The problem Democrats have though is that Kamala is the VP. If the country had a competent VP, it would be easier to tell The BiG GuY you have to go if the VP could step right up. The Dem machine knows Kamala ain’t it, yet they can’t be seen passing over a black women in favor of another white guy like Newsome. So they are stuck with a nominee with sever brain function issue who people just don’t like unless the Dems can throw him under the bus further and shame him into withdrawing. Hopefully in the next two months both Trump and Joe have to withdraw and the country can have a better debate about moving forward.

Dually noted. I will work on it
