Uh oh.  I guess we dont like Liz again now.   
 

 

 

So you’re back to loving her. 
 

If you would pay attention, she agreed with everything republicans wanted to do other than Trump. 
 

She’s been proven to be the one right about him. Smart republicans should love her.

Governments (national state local are all pretty incompetent when it comes to spending money).  Whether it’s the cost or speed of rollout (remember all those shovel ready jobs ). It took forever to spend that money too.  

I can’t read that because I don’t have a subscription. That the same article you posted before. Do you have anything else?

So, you’re saying it hasn’t been spent. Oh the horror. 
 

Do you know why it hasn’t been spent?

And, that’s very different than claiming they spent 1billion per station.

Great job guys!  
 

 

I’m trying to research this. All I can find is tweets claiming Biden “pledged” 7.5 billion to build them and a few that make it sound like the problem is the money hasn’t been spent. 
 

So, do you have more information on this claiming Biden wasted 7.5 billion?  Hey, as much as republicans don’t like EVs, if the money hasn’t been spent, you should be ecstatic.

Wow. #1 tackle in the nation.

 

 

Was this just set up this week or even today?  
 

if so, I always wonder what oh s#!t scrambling is being done throughout the football offices to get everything ready for him.

And one of the hardest things I've ever witnessed in my life was my sister-in-law losing a fortune this way after her husband died. She discovered the stock market when she inherited his portfolio during the bull market and channeled her grief into day-trading. 

I'll check my stocks very regularly.  But, it's just because I find it interesting.  I very seldom sell once I buy a stock.

I definitely don't think any country should be judged harshly for the measures they take to secure their borders - as long as it just goes as far as not letting people enter in a way that they deem illegal or unwanted.

 

But I believe that a fairly objective take on Gaza is that the people there have had it pretty tough over the span of many decades. And I tend to think about women and children more closely in that assessment. I am learning about reports that during attempted peaceful protests by Palestinians in 2018, IDF snipers targeted peoples' kneecaps/below the knee hits, intentionally trying to maim people - even minors.

 

So, there's "securing your border" and then there's systematically brutalizing/hampering people (in various ways) on the other side of the fence.

 

Tangentially, I'm starting to see more and more so many Americans wanting to "pick a side" in this thing. I suppose that's human nature to do that. But this situation is seriously a clusterjam disaster. So much insane history going on between the two people, over so many time frames.

 

War is bad, violence is bad, and at this point I wish Israel would just leave Gaza alone and I wish that my country would stop funding worldwide warfare.

(Fru, most of my post was not directed at you, really just the first paragraph)

 

 

Not only that, but Israel has been going in, demolishing people's homes...just because they want the land to put up their own settlements.

I'd live to hear what conservatives would do if someone was doing that to them.

Great question!!!!

I don't remember which show it was, but one of the local morning shows made the point that Bolt's philosophy on midweek games was crafted from all his time in the SEC: they used midweek games as a way to find/build depth and experiement with rotations and batting orders while relying on the SOS of their conference to build resumes. 

Then let's stop scheduling rivalries with teams like Creighton then if he's not going to take them seriously.  It's embarrassing constantly losing to them.

Because Bolt doesn't treat midweek games like they count; he treats them as glorified scrimmages. 

And THAT is so damn frustrating.  Especially, when you're in a battle to possibly host and you know if you win out, there's a chance.  Throwing a guy out there just to "develop" him and not giving your team the best chance to win this time of year is idiotic.

Not sure if anyone really noticed, but the Far Left demands for a cease fire have been joined by moderate, mainstream, international and even Republican calls for a cease-fire. It's not particularly daring or pandering; it's a position pretty much any President would take regarding a 7 month war that's killing vastly more civilians than terrorists. If we saw nightly footage from Gaza rather than Columbia University it would no doubt color our opinion, but that's probably for another thread. 

 

So starting from that point, what would leadership look like?  Does the American President say, yes we support Israel politically, financially, and militarily, but we draw the line at providing weaponry likely to be used in a promised assault of Rafah, where a million displaced Palestians have been herded? Conservatives of old would have bristled that a guy like Netanyahu would accept American largesse but refuse any U.S. conditions.

 

Or would leadership mean doing nothing, because taking this kind of stand would look like pandering to a small percentage of college students unlikely to vote for you anyway?

 

 

Exactly.  We are supplying Israel with weapons.  In general, I support that.  But, those weapons should come with demands on how they should be used.  It baffles me that conservatives all of a sudden are crying about this.  We should not be supporting an all out destruction of a population of people.

"By the numbers: Only a small minority (8%) of college students have participated in either side of the protests, the survey of 1,250 college students found.

 

Students ranked the conflict in the Middle East as the least important issue facing them out of nine options.

It landed behind health care reform, racial justice and civil rights, economic fairness and opportunity, education funding and access, and climate change.

What they found: The survey found that three times as many college students blame Hamas for the current situation in Gaza than they do President Biden."

And....Biden was trying to assist Gaza long before the protests started and, I believe, he had already had discussion with Bibi on his disagreement on how Israel was conducting the war.

It's why I don't understand why the protesters are so upset with Biden.  Yes, he has been supplying Israel with weapons.  We always have....other than situations like now and during Reagans years.....which I understand and support.  But, these idiotic protesters seem to totally ignore October 7th.

Yeah...I felt that from Sims' Georgia Tech film that he wouldn't be good throwing the ball. But I didn't have any idea he'd be as bad as he was and that Haarberg would also struggle so much in the passing game.

Yep, I had my doubts about Sims....but...man...he way over shot my doubts.

I might be mistaken, but I don’t believe it was legal

But...Republicans on capital hill are working so hard to make it illegal for millions of illegals to vote in our elections.

How are these new laws going to prevent the millions of illegals from voting in our elections like, according to Republicans, they have been.....you know.... they just know intuitively they are.

He getting throttled on college campuses by voters that he needs to win the election.   It’s why he’s withholding the congressionally approved aid.  To placate a voting base.   

Relatively speaking, the vocal protestors are a very small minority of college students.  Do you have any data to back up your comments?

Seriously?

Before I posted that, I did a search and this is about all I came up with.  I thought, surely he's not going off of this.
