4 or 5 mainly because we know little about his post NFL background and since I don’t live in GA or get involved in races out of state I don’t care to spend much time looking into it. 
 

I hope he starts to debate in primaries and I hope GA picks a candidate worthy of election in the R primary to eventually face Warnock.  

We know little about his background

I don't live there

I'm not involved in races out of state

I don't care to spend much time looking into it

Not if it’s against Warnock.  

You offer so many disclaimers in regards to the R candidate and nothing but confidence against the D one.

There’s only one acceptable position on twitter, only one allowed opinion and anything that goes against the narrative, people are suspended or banned.

This isn't even remotely true. Like, not even in the same universe close.

Its not like a satire account was banned for over a Man of the Year tweet

You're right, it's not. They weren't banned, they were suspended for 12 hours starting after the removal of a tweet that went against their TOS. They're the ones that decided not to capitulate.

If everyone is constantly misinterpreting what you're trying to say, you're the problem.

Part of the problem making the bill so high is they also provide our gig speed internet. Not giving that up though and it’s much cheaper bundled with a cable package.

My brother is a high up manager at Mediacom in Des Moines. He said 90% of their new customer base is people getting internet - very very few are starting from a position of wanting the tv, but they can be upsold.

I'm just sick of all the + channels.  ESPN+, BTN+, CNN+.....and on and on and on...Whatever happened to buying a service, get the networks and watching what they provide instead of constantly having to buy more and more subscriptions.

 

When it used to be just cable TV, everyone thought streaming services would be awesome because you could pick and choose what you want to have and it would be cheaper.  Anymore, if you were subscribed to all of these, it would be A LOT more expensive than it was before.

I'm not that sure. DirecTV's cheapest base package is $107/mo (and I don't think that includes renting the box). Here's a theoretical equivalent/alternative:

$35 - Sling TV Blue, gets you most of the basic/base channels you'd watch

$10 - HBOMax

$15 - Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu Bundle

$10 - Netflix

$5 - AppleTV+

That gets you probably 90% of what DirecTV would offer, plus massive amounts of original content you couldn't get on there (Every original movie/series on Disney, Netflix, HBO, Apple), plus sports.

Anyone else get the feeling that we're trying to be too creative and cutting edge with this stuff? 

A&M showed how to do it, and it's not complicated. Now I'm not happy about the current wild west landscape of it, but it's here and we have to adjust if we want to stay competitive. 

Maybe things like this will help, but I'm a bit skeptical.

That’s an assumption 

My assumption is that you are already convinced of the following:

He can't be any worse than Warnock policy-wise

Despite there being very little evidence he is capable, qualified, or mentally stable enough to govern, he needs to win against Warnock

@Hooked on Huskers I don't think anyone disagrees with you. Grass is fine, turf is fine, it's all fine. We all just realize that no matter our preference, we're not going to change the minds of the admins who put the surface on the field.

Speak for yourself I disagree with plenty of his bulls#!t whacky points

No. I'm just encouraging you to stop propping up potential strawmen every time you post. You've done it again.

Wouldn’t he be a great role model for those children if it’s shown he has overcome his problems to be one of 100 people in that profession?   Add in being another African American in that exclusive body.   Or is the whole overcoming adversity to achieve something and be celebrated just for Dems?  

I don't know if he would or not. Personally I doubt anyone in the Senate would be anything other than an awful role model, so if he wins, I would lean towards no, but sure if it is shown he has learned how to deal with his disorder in a healthy way he would be a good role model. I'd prefer we see the evidence of that made clear before considering voting for someone like that.

The primaries will weed out his more recent background and we will see if he deserves to be elected in the state of GA.  

How do you define 'deserves'? Just based on whether or not he gets the vote? Because you don't seem to be in a 'wait and see' mode in your evaluations of Walker.

Are mentally ill people to be shunned from society even after they figure out what’s wrong and get treatment?

No, and nobody is suggesting that. 'Society' and 'being an elected representative in the United States Senate' are also wildly different things. People say the same s#!t when pastors come back after sex scandals - "Isn't there forgiveness in Christ? They should be able to be forgiven and move forward". Forgiveness doesn't mean they ever need to be a pastor again.

Hey Mavic, I remember Mavic's photos during East project.  I don't like design (minority voice here).  3rd and 4th upper decks, WAY too high. Players on the field, ants.  And recommend seats, oxygen tank and high-powered binoculars 

 

The view from the top of East Stadium is incredible. In fact it's significantly better than the view from the first 30 or so rows on the lower bowls of East and West.

Since when did whether or not you mock someone be determined by whether or not they have thick skin for it?

Ohio State, 2023 or 2024 off-season will convert to natural grass.  Michigan, poor drainage because actually Big Hole instead of Big House.  Mostly submerged. 

Ohio State's stadium is also beneath the water table and they're replacing their turf this season.

Once again, you just have no clue what you're saying. I'm not even pro team turf - I think having grass would be amazing. It's just that you have the s#!ttiest nonsense arguments.

Make sense .....

• Elite teams: natural grass venues
• Non-elite teams (like Huskers):  Fake turf

Every playoff team in history:

Oregon - Turf

Florida State - Grass

Ohio State - Turf

Alabama - Grass

Notre Dame - Turf

Clemson - Grass

Washington - Turf

Michigan State - Grass

LSU - Turf/Grass hybrid

Michigan - Turf

Cincinnati - Turf

Georgia - Grass

Oh I see, so you just want to make the outside look uglier than it is, and also have no room for concourses and concessions for the people in the top deck of the endzones.

Much different between $$east project$$ and proposed north/south 2nd decks.  East .... new building

 

How do you propose getting up to the 2nd decks on the North and South sides without............ new buildings?

Is there a difference between Pete saying “ya he’s right”  vs “yeah right” when responding to the host who asked if Pete agreed with the comments portrayed to him which started out with…this bill will kill kids

 

your trying super duper hard to conflate things which is admirable given your position, but it ain’t working. 

Yes. For starters, one thing he actually said, the other he didn't. 

Then if you want to engage in good faith you can start to parse out what he actually meant by what he said, but the twitter personalities you bring in here aren't interested in that.

Is there a large difference in saying “ya he’s right” and saying “ yeah right” when responding to a quote that was just told to you? 

The standards on quoting from your post contribution keep getting worse and worse. There was no quote told to him, unless you mean the "so called 'don't say gay' bill" which she air quotes. She says, "which he says will kill kids". That's not a quote.
