We can all agree the two party system blows goats. It’s a matter of opinion, of course, but I’m a hard disagree on the bold. And it’s not particularly close. Republicanism here is veering into some scary, dangerous territory. Dems at worst are a bunch of feckless cowards scared of their own shadows.

Hmmmm….

He's about as independent as a conjoined twin

Coulda fooled me with your affinity for the Babylon Bee

One beer? Pansy

Both parties are a scam, yes. It’s all about who f#&%ed up last and trying to rub it in. Both sides are equally f#&%ed.

Decked* I heard GSG applied but that’s just because he thought it sounded more like Anal-lyst rather than analyst..

Anything that makes the game last longer is good for fans. 75% of us watch the games as entertainment and with friends. I want that to last longer, not shorter. There is a huge difference from a 3 hour game and a game that goes over 3:30. It is one more beer, 5 more stories, more memories, more fun.

Welp, when you’ve lost MSDNC, it’s not looking good for the cash money prosecutor.

I can just see how a private equity firm would run a CFB program. They'll be mandating they they only have 7 assistant coaches to save money. "Why do you need an offensive and defensive coordinator? That seems redundant. Lets just have one coordinator and he can call both the O and the D."

Well one party conceded its election loss, attended its rival's inauguration, declined to support a violent insurrection backed by anti-democracy rigging, and refused to do Vladimir Putin's bidding. The other did not. That's not an insignificant difference.

The entire "BUT HER EMAILS" BS was just that....BS. MAGA gets all wet about the entire thing....meanwhile......Trump in office....crickets.

What absolutely drives me crazy is when there's an injury, they stay with the game, talking about the injury, but not really showing anything. Then...when the player is finally off the field, they go to commercial timeout. Like...WTF??? Why not go to commercial when it appears there's going to be a delay in the game, then explain the injury when they come back...and get on with the game.

Never understood the bowls will mean nothing argument. When did they mean anything to begin with? Exhibition games to put on during the holidays when you are home all day with family

Maybe.

Ha. Figured as much

Agreed - there is no place for what-about-isms here. No comparison. While the Dems still traffic in normal political shenanigans the GOP is on a whole new level of near treasonous behavior and obvious hypocritical behavior in order to follow their cult leader.

Even if there's an initial reduction in commercials to start the broadcast, they'll eventually put them back in because they want more money.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/21/their-emails-seven-members-trumps-team-have-used-unofficial-communications-tools/ But their emails: Seven members of Trump’s team have used unofficial communication tools President Trump’s objections to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state were never terribly convincing. He didn’t always seem to understand what she had done, and made claims about how she had deleted emails or wiped her server that suggested, at least, a lack of familiarity with technical details. At times, he claimed that Clinton, his Democratic presidential challenger in 2016, had tried to shield unethical activity by using a personal account. At others, he specifically criticized her for having shared classified material through her personal account. Generally, though, Trump seemed to understand that nearly any sentence that included “Hillary’s emails” or “Hillary’s illegal server” had the same positive effect on his supporters as any other. It became a shorthand for all of the corruption he and his base saw in his rival’s candidacy. If Trump’s broad criticism was true, that the use of a private account to conduct official business is suspect — if not illegal — and represents an effort to mask illicit activity, then we have bad news for him: An awful lot of that same suspect activity is taking place in his administration. Trump demanded top-secret security clearance for Jared Kushner last year despite concerns of John Kelly and intelligence officials On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka Trump, both advisers to the president, had used either personal email accounts or the messaging application WhatsApp to conduct official business, according to information from the House Oversight Committee. The latter is particularly problematic because messages are encrypted between users, meaning that unless Kushner and Ivanka Trump stored copies of their messages or the recipients turned the messages over to the government, there’s no way to record what was said. Kushner’s lawyer told House investigators that Kushner “took images of his communications” on a WhatsApp account, then forwarded them to official accounts. Asked whether Kushner had shared classified information over the app, the attorney replied, “That’s above my pay grade.” according to the Journal report. Imagine Clinton’s attorney having offered that excuse in July 2016. It wasn’t just Kushner and Ivanka Trump. The committee learned that former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland and former adviser Stephen K. Bannon had also, at times, used personal email accounts for official business. Some of those communications, the Journal reports, dealt with a proposal to send nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. McFarland’s account was through AOL, according to the New York Times. And these are only the most recent examples. In 2017, the Times reported that other Trump administration officials, including adviser Stephen Miller, former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former National Economic Council director Gary Cohn had all used personal email accounts to conduct official business. That’s seven officials, past and present, who used personal email accounts: Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Miller, Cohn, Bannon, McFarland and Priebus. That by itself isn’t illegal, as long as the records are preserved in accordance with the Presidential Records Act. According to House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Ivanka Trump, at least, may not have been properly preserving all of her records. The president has had his own issues with using government-preferred communication channels. In May, Politico reported that Trump wasn’t adhering to policies that mandated he swap out his cellphones with regularity, putting his communication at risk. Had Trump shared classified information over his cellphone that might have been intercepted by foreign powers? Well, in May 2017, he shared classified information directly with senior Russian officials in the Oval Office, so it certainly seems possible. It’s important to remember that much of Trump’s criticism of Clinton’s use of a private server was overwrought and politically motivated. Just as much of Trump’s criticism of former president Barack Obama’s golfing was overwrought or much of Trump’s excoriation about the increase in the federal debt. As president, Trump has often not practiced what he preached on the campaign trail. At times, in fact, it seems as though he’s practicing specifically what he preached against.

I believe the judge stayed the ruling until the SC decided if they would take up the case or not.

And people worry he will get win. Dude might set an all time low turnout. People hate the noise.

Remember when this clown told his cult they were going to get tired of winning? Good times.

Well technically the media did not "say nothing" about the investigation into Hillary Clinton's server, as it became a huge story that came out 10 days before the election and immediately tanked her poll numbers, which was also a big story covered by everybody. Funny story: once America's intolerance for private email servers had been established, it came out that multiple Republican politicians and cabinet members, including Mike Pence, used private email servers, too. Also, Tulsi Gabbard isn't "left"

Think about who they poll. They are the incredibly elderly who are just excited to get a phone call so they can talk to someone or deadbeat moochers that don't work. No one below a certain age answers phone calls from numbers they don't know, and most people have to work for a living and can't be home to answer a poll. This is why polls are a waste of time, or at best to be taken as a grain of.salt anymore. No sample is reprentative of the electorate as a whole.

I think the next logical step in further reducing the the number of plays clogging up the games between commercials will be to make incomplete passes only a temporary time-out. After an incompletion the clock will only stop until the ball is set and ready for play at which point the clock will resume. Just like it is when a player runs OOB now or how it used to be after a first down. Mark my words, that day is coming and probably sooner rather than later. Less football and more commercials is the recipe for success.

Please don't. There's already enough commercial time and stoppages as is.

I could have, but since Babylon Bee is funny, I didn’t

Is there anyone on this site voting for Trump?

Yes, this what is known as humor. I know that if Newsmax didn't tell you to laugh that you won't, but really I'm making an attempt to show what really motivates the median voter - the answer to which is astoundingly simple.

Put it on your next test - throw the students for a loop. I've done that before in the college course I taught - just to give the students a 'mental break' while taking a test - some way off in left field question.

I wonder if Tucker thinks Russia OSHA and window/ledge inspectors are better than the US.

I heard we're gonna have the world's first Football Analyst and Therapist!

Haven't watched it all yet, but Rhule is on there for about 38 minutes

The "I hate America" crowd LOVES this!

"Both sides" guys are inevitably voting for Orange Man Bad. Copium is a bitter pill.

And perhaps another boom in Russia - Rocket engine plant in Siberia. Funny how these things keep happening https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/explosion-reported-at-russian-space-agency-s-rocket-engine-plant-in-siberia/vi-BB1ikue3?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=99256b71d967404780f638fb26c372b2&ei=29

The shine on Gus Johnson wore off for me a lloonngg time ago. He tries to artificially inflate every moment in a game, regardless of impact or degree of difficulty. I swear he wouldn't know the word "nuance" if you slapped him in the face with the dictionary page its on.

Well...Janet Jackson had a brief nice moment.

Isn't most of the free world providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians while also supporting "Israel's right to defend itself," both politically and economically? Didn't America fund both sides of the Iran/Iraq war? Don't we have a history of funding both sides of wars dating back decades? I mean sure, 'gubmint bad' gets clicks, but this isn't anything new.

I mean, that is first day stuff! "Jack, you sit here...and also, now you are Jill"

Is this before or after you try to convince all of them to have a sex change?

I am more worried about the opposite now and what will happen at 830am. I tried grabbing them post-market yesterday but I missed. Bitfarm is going off so is COIN. SMCI might be unstoppable right now.

That figure has been used for about 20+ years now. I do a budget project for one of my classes I teach and it is super hard to nail this down but just some of the super basic/normal kid stuff really adds up. It is so hard to calculate but if you just look at some of the basics I could see it. Food alone on the super low end will get your to 40k dollars over 18 years and is assuming 6 dollars per day for food. You go out to eat once a week with your kid(s) and that changes it all. That is the super low end considering a bag of chips is 4 dollars. Clothes? 500 a year on clothes, there is another 9k, again that is low. But right there, you are already at 50K We have not even started with haircuts, makeup, Bday parties for friends, Xmas, A car, gas for the car, insurances, cell phones (now), school supplies, video games, a tablet, medicine, sports, going to a movie, needing "20 dollars" to go out with friends. No idea if the figure is super accurate but like I said that # has been around for years. I suppose it is easy to see on the super low end, spending 5K a year on a kid. Which puts you in that 40K range. 250K, that is only about 14K a year s#!t, daycare is 200 a week on the low end. That gets close to 40K for 4 years. I think it is super hard to really calculate because we tend to get things for our kids without really thinking about it...5 dollars here, 20 dollars here. That all adds up.

Well, it also got the “best teams playing the other best teams” from different parts of the country that ran different offenses with different schemes and players. The way it is now the game is so homogenous and players move around the country so much the games matter less because they all look the same. okus there are 25+ bowl games so it’s not the “best teams”. It is exhibition now, but used to not be.

Funny Story, Tulsi Gabbard ran on the Democratic Ticket as a Presidential Nomination Also, Mike Pence and other Republicans weren't the acting Secretary Of State (a position that has the highest security clearance in all of Government, yes higher than the president) Funny how all partys dodge truth for the purpose of party positioning. Republicans stand against abortion but are pro capital punishment. Dems are pro abortion but anti capital punishment. Both result in death of an individual and that's factual. I'm anti-abortion and anti-capital punishment. Those two agenda's are reasons I am independent. (Can't Server 2 masters)

I suspect the shooters were just standing their ground. Parade goers and little kids kept bumping into them, I bet. Gotta have a gun in hand in case a 5 year old stands too close.

Gotta find ways to generate more ad money.. Big Business you know!!

Glad you care.
