Lol. If you don't think the pro leagues protect their stars/ratings darlings you're just burying your head in the sand. Seems like you're just salty cuz your team is losing and that's ok too. Have fun watching the rest of the game 

I’m not a big NFL fan. If I have a team it’s the Bengals, because they are coached by a former Husker. Before that I liked the Lions because Suh. And I cheered for the Eagles last year because of Suh. I’m okay with the idea that refs treat some players differently; everyone has biases even if unconscious. Just like can happen in college football, if the game is close at the end the refs can be a factor in the final outcome. I don’t believe there is any plan by the NFL to pick one team or another to win though. I believe there is ref bias only. 

And you are talking about scripts in your post, and you made a post awhile ago suggesting that you believed the conspiracy theory that the NFL is scripted and the games aren’t real, which is a bunch of bulls#!t which you shouldn’t fall for. 

The idea Kelce is going to propose today regardless of outcome is ridiculously stupid. Swift has been getting bs flack for years about being a slut. She also doesn’t need more attention. If it was real that would make Kelce a moron for not being more aware, and if it was fake, there is just no way that would be a plan she’d go with. 

Lastly, even if the Chiefs were my team, why would that affect a post I make about a conspiracy I think is stupid? Besides, they were only down 10-0 at the time. Not like they haven’t come back from that before. There’s no reason for Chiefs fans to be “salty” right now.

I think the script goes like this: back and forth game. Chiefs down late. Comeback drive helped by a few egregious calls. Kelce catches game winning TD as time expires so he can propose to that singer lady on the field. 

Do you believe in this flat earth type stuff or are you just joking around? And the proposal nonsense is f#&%ing stupid. No way in hell does that happen.

Wow….I guess we know where Clark learns how to be a cry baby. 

She really annoys me for some reason... and I don't think it's just because she plays for Iowa.

On a related note... have we finally run out of people like Clinton and Biden to throw out there? I am tired of hanging onto these people. The Democrats got lucky with Obama I think. Except I recall reading that he wasn't great when it came to fundraising for the DNC.

Yep. Typical cognitive changes with aging. I wish we didn't have a system that spat out people this old, but here we are.

 

If we assume both aren't as sharp as they once were, I'll take the non-fascist with good policy that actually benefits me and people I care about 10/10 times.

Ya, Trump has always been who he is. I would take 80 year old Biden over Trump at any 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.  

Ya, he may not have dementia but he is at a minimum having normal memory issues as an aging person. I don't want him as president but I want Trump a lot less. Assuming we still have a legit election in 2028, I hope we have some candidates between the ages of 35 and 60 who aren't crazy or stupid. I do think Biden's issues have been built up as more than they actually are, but I'm tired of people (mostly boomers, I assume) thinking age = wisdom and ignoring other factors.

I’m not a macroeconomics person, and I know it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that NATO is good for us and not upholding the treaty is a bad thing, but let’s say Russia takes over Europe while we save money by not helping them, and then everything settles down into a new normal.

Russia would be a total s#!t trading partner with us and it would have a horrible negative impact on our economy, and we couldn’t really run to China either. Russia and China would just be laughing at us as we spiral downward. China is a huge trading partner with us right now but they could decrease that by a lot in this circumstance. 

The other hypothetical is Russia fails against a US-less NATO. I’m sure Europe will still trade with us but they’re going to try to avoid doing anything that benefits us in any way. 

Being an isolationist/nationalist country esp when it comes to Europe is going to leave us way worse off than if we are good allies to them.

Whelp there it is.  The slippery slope.  Now it's not only migrants who will be rounded up into internment camps and shipped out. it'll be anyone on a visa who is suspected of disagreeing with the regime.  Next stop... anyone who disagrees with the regime visa or not

 

 

This will be a good excuse to do more tracking of people.

Economically this makes zero sense. The massive amount of money spent, plus the loss in labor/productivity would be disastrous. Nevermind the fact that it would take years to train personnel and build facilities.

Agree. Preventing illegal immigration and spending more money there might make sense, but spending a bunch on deportation will lose us $, not gain it.

So, my option is to vote for a mush brain that defends America and upholds the constitution…or a mush brain that does not and only cares about enriching himself and loving all the dictators around the world. 
 

Not a great choice….but it is a clear choice. 

Agreed. It’s an easy pick. The other important thing is Biden picks people around him based on what he thinks their abilities are and not whether they will kiss the ring/help him with his coup. And Biden doesn’t think he’s the best at everything. So even if he has issues, he’s surrounded by people decent at their jobs and aren’t trying to help him become a dictator. Trump has some of the worst traits a leader can have.

Anyone that thinks these guys have all their mental capabilities is crazy.  

 

Not remembering your son died, that is sad, I feel bad for him if that is the case.  

He remembered, just not the year…

Not subsidizing our corn could help too. 

I hope I’m not dumb enough when I’m 70 to think 70+ year olds should be president.

If God doesn’t make mistakes, why is the government trying to stop wimen from having abortions? Humans rape. Humans kill their unborn children. Same logic.

I don't know but he seems a little nervous.  Like maybe he did something that's illegal and he needs "FULL IMMUNITY!!!".

Is he new to the country?
 

Based on their prior judgements, I don't think the Supreme Court would side with Trump on this, but that doesn't mean I like chancing it going there. Among a list of 500 other things, the fact he's acking this would have lost him the primary if we were 12-20 years ago.

The bill was for changing if the federal government voted to change.  We wouldn’t be doing it alone. 

Gotcha. Yikes. Why was that hard?

Doing it on a state by state level would be kind of annoying but maybe if the states started doing it, it would move forward nationally.

Better question is why no foul call on raking Mast's hands... Good decision not to try the contested 3. Refs missed another one there.

No it wasn't. We needed 3 to tie. Him getting fouled wouldn't have been good, since he wasn't shooting.

Why did Mast not take that 3? Sometimes he looks so clutzy out there.

He is polling at double digits

The thing that freaks me out is the country is so divided we could have chaos no matter who wins.

 

People are like if Trump wins I am leaving the US.

 

Others, if Biden wins I am leaving the US.

 

I am like because these 2 dudes and going run again, I am out!

 

But seriously, how long until one of them falls and breaks a hip!

Trump being old isn't even close to being the worst thing about Trump. It is the worst thing about Biden.

Just now, teachercd said:

So, in 16 they were way wrong, in 2020 they were pretty accurate.

 

 

Yes. And they haven't been way wrong in favor of a Democrat yet, but I guess it could happen. Other things could change to, but I'm failing to see what more Trump could do to turn people off. It has to be Biden doing something. The other problem is when Kennedy is in the mix, he's taking more votes from Biden than from Trump, which is crazy.

1 minute ago, teachercd said:

What did the polls say in 2020?  I don't remember that one at all.

 

 I know in 16 Clinton, by gambling sites, was basically a lock.

Trump was basically never ahead or even close to Biden. Also, Biden is down in all battleground states right now except Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
