Here is who I have voted for in every election since 1984. 84 Reagan 88 & 92 HW Bush 96 Dole 2000 & 04 GW Bush 08 McCain 12 Obama 16 Ind Gary Johnson IIRC 20 Biden 24 Biden I can tell you categorically the change was not that I switched sides. The problem was that my party had begun the bats#!t trajectory. I thought Obama did okay in his first term so I bucked my trend in 2012 and voted for a Dem for the first time in my life. I liked that a Pres and party were actually attempting to address healthcare. That was my key issue at the time and I honestly have no recollection of what I felt about Romney at that time. 2016 I disliked both candidates so wasted my vote on an independent but I really didn’t feel all that strongly opposed to Trump. That changed by 2017-2018. By 2020 I had grown to absolutely despise Trump and his MAGA BS, so much so that I voted for a Dem I did not like at all, Biden. Took a lot of heat within my family and my wife’s family for it. But I will absolutely do it again this year also unless somebody else with a very real chance to beat Trump comes out of the woodwork in the next few months. My hope is that DJT’s fat a$$ keels over dead from lawsuit stress and poor nutritional choices before November.

The confidence and evidence is in the games and the sheer number of ignored calls. It doesn’t require some tin-foil hat conspiracy theory. It’s blatantly evident that the league doesn’t want simple infractions like traveling, double dribble and palming called according to the rules. If they did, there would not be so many skipped calls and such blatant no calls. Why you ask. IDK you would have to ask the NBA. I suspect because it’s a better fan experience to not have the game slowed down with play stoppages.

We’re going to have to disagree a bit here. Yes it’s a fast game with a whole bunch of opportunities to miss some trivial calls. But it does happen too often, often enough that it’s apparent that the league doesn’t want them all called and with more leeway for star players. My problem with it is I used to play bball and I reffed for quite a few years following high school. Did lots of Nebraska high school varsity, jv, junior high, youth, boys and girls and mens league games. Switching pivot feet and taking 4+ steps with the ball is the easiest thing in the world to see no matter the speed of the game. I will grant you that sometimes that third step is tough in a high paced game. I don’t fault them for those. But time after time I see 4-5-6 steps and blatant carries and double dribbles. It’s way more than can be accounted for by the speed of the game. The toughest games for me personally were girls jr high games. Inevitably one of the coaches would ask us before the game to overlook an extra step on traveling. I was kind of a d!(k. Told them that if it was a problem they should work more on fundamentals and that I could call the game right or completely ignore all traveling calls. There wasn’t going to be any halfass enforcement. The coaches always agreed that traveling should be called according to the rules. And yeah, it was painful to watch. But it wasn’t ever a problem at the HS level. Not sure why it needs to be dumbed down for the greatest players in the world.

I don’t care enough about the NBA to hate on them. But the traveling, double dribbles and palming is out of control. These are the best players and best refs in the world and they can’t seem to get these basic easy things correct.

Not sure what your point is here. I would absolutely love to have a better choice than Trump or Biden. Romney, McCain, Cheney….any of those would do just fine. The good thing about Trump is, he makes anyone other than him the super easy choice. I can’t think of one person living or dead or imaginary that I would pick Trump over. Not one.

No SuperBar, hiked up prices at times people actually want to eat, good Frostys changed for the worse. What’s next, a kick in the nuts with every order of fries?

Their Frostys used to be good. They changed up something, the last 2 I’ve had were a$$. Like a McDonalds chocolate shake bad.

Except this is the opposite of happy hour. People will show up for cheap drinks. A burger that costs more than usual at lunchtime….not so much. But IDK, I’m not really their target demographic. I prob had Wendys only 2 or 3 times in the last year. I always thought fast food places loved it when cars were piled up in the drive thru while they had peak staffing scheduled. I mean it’s not like they really care about food quality or good service. I guess they want to profit even more for people with bad attitudes to throw s#!tty food in a bag and then tell you to pull ahead and wait to get the wrong things.

Will be interesting to see how this is received. My gut feeling is peak time volume is going to dip. And considering most people eating fast food are doing it within the lunch or dinner timeframe, they won’t make up that volume at other times. Possibly they’ll end up making the same amount with less effort. Seems like a plan that could alienate customers without much benefit. But what do I know.

Yeah Nebraska hasn’t looked great but Minnesota….woof. They have been absolutely turrible. Tough game to get any kind of positive flow going. I’m just glad I’m not a gopher fan today.

Ha. Their reactions could be entertaining, a kid raised in Omaha, a conservative to Seattle or a progressive to the south.

How absolutely effed up is our system that a duly elected representative is not immediately and automatically seated after being elected? I see no reason why it should be dependent on any party, let alone the opposing party, to complete the process.The voters in his district effectively have no representation while the children play their BS partisan games.

Nope. Sad thing is, many staunch conservatives in this country, fed up with wokeness, LGBTQ….and other non-maga things actually think their values would be better supported in Russia. And some of those values would be, but it’s those many other things they take for granted here that bite em in the a$$ over there. Hard to have sympathy for stupidity.

I’m not acting like Russia is “changing” elections. Maybe you could quit acting like they’re not “influencing” our elections. And you do you but if I was a big party line supporter, I would show at least a modicum of concern that Russia/Putin were showing such preference for my favorite party and politicians. It’s as if Russia realizes that the best way to destabilize our country and democracy is to do what you do and support the MAGA led GOP.

You would have to show me some, even one, example of how I’m not in favor of charging them all regardless of party affiliation. And remember, I’m not the one in this discussion whose take away from a post about the GOP house speaker taking campaign contributions from Russia was to shrug it off with some tone deaf reply about how many points he won election by. And then follow that up with the bandwagon/ad populum fallacy of claiming everyone does it.

Well touché. Your selective nonchalance of GOP misdeeds is also hilarious. Funny how you ignored the meat and potatoes of the message in your haste to shoot the messenger. IMO it doesn’t matter if he squeaked by with 1% or 30%. The point is his campaign took money from Russians and Putin ally. And the bigger point is, they wanted to contribute to the GOP and his victory. But nah, let’s just worry about how many points he won by and b!^@h about somebody’s selective outrage.

Uhhh….so? What does that have to do with Russians and a Putin ally contributing to his election fund? Does his margin of victory make it okay? Isn’t it illegal to accept campaign contributions from foreign entities?

I once brought a jacka$$ and a honeycomb into a brothel….. This may be the most important thing they left unanswered in GoT. Tyrion started this joke 3 separate times in the series but we were never provided the punchline. Well fret no longer, I have found the ending to this joke. Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jacka$$. Madame: What can we do for you? Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with for my wife has left me. Madame: Oh that’s too bad, why did she leave you? And what’s with the honeycomb and mule? Tyrion: I gave my wife a bottle with a genie in it as a gift. The genie granted her 3 wishes. Her first was for a home fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. For her second wish she asked for the nicest a$$ in all the land, and he gave her this damn donkey. Madame: And what about the third wish? Tyrion: She asked the genie to make my c$%k hang down below my knees. Madame: Well that ones not so bad, eh. Tyrion: Not so bad!!? I used to be six foot three.

God forbid they get a call right. Had to reverse it to the wrong call.

Seems like a bit of needless BS runaround by Kia. You would think warranty work should be warranty work and not country dependent. But anyway, thanks for the heads up.

In MAGAland this would be definitive proof that Hunter funneled Burisma funds directly to the Big Guy. Duh.

Anybody that would snort that deserves whatever happens to them. That would be the dirtiest coke I’ve ever seen. Full disclosure- I haven’t seen all that much but I have seen a lot of sawdust.

Given prior established facts, this means you are now slightly over 5’-10”.
