    Football is becoming unwatchable

    There are some injuries that can't be prevented and some that can. The league has to try otherwise they risk lawsuits by the players. I think it's done in order to protect themselves. What's wrong with the kickoff rule? I don't see why people are so bothered by it.

    What is the league suppose to do though? The league has been forced to make the game safer which leads to more flags.

    Is the term Yankee offensive to some?

    What's the point of the thread then?

    The screaming after this election will be.....

    They don't see it that way. They think they are fixing our country and Republicans are destroying it. Democrats and Republicans both want the same thing, they just disagree on how to do it.

    Trump speaking on being saved by God

    So, God saved Trump and decided it was better that someone else die from that bullet instead? It was his time and not Trump's? I can't agree with that logic and it has nothing to do with belief in God.

    Someone from the outside looking in can see that those Democrats feel the same way about Republicans. Neither can believe that there can be that large a number of people to vote against what they believe in.

    People have been saying this for a long time yet it remains the most popular sport in the nation and continues to spread across the world.

    It's possible but that's not what we're talking about. I haven't seen a lot of Trump supporters say they believe that. They think it was actually stolen and that Trump should still be President. I don't see a way that they won't say the same exact thing if he were to lose again.

    Coach

    Loved that show. It was created by an Iowa grad and the coach was named after Hayden Fry.

    To agree with the outcome. To acknowledge that Trump lost. Not finding an excuse, such as, the election being stolen.

    Is there any scenario where Trump supporters would accept defeat? I don't think there is.

    Get ready for the October Surprise

    Is there a good 3rd party candidate?
  16. Some more info to think about with Trump's proposed tariffs. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20myx1erl6o
  17. I don’t know what he’s doing for sure, and either do you, but Trump has said that he’s doing it across the board. Regardless if he does or not, it’s still a concern.

    Name this song in 5 words- it’s a game

    Yep. Also the only words in the song. Wipeout and Tequila are two great karaoke songs.

    Ha ha ha ha... Wipeout!
  20. Yes, subsidies for farmers have happened for years and are much need many years. The subsidies during Trump's Presidency were very large and some of it inflicted by Trump. The weather and covid were not something that could've been prevented. https://www.fb.org/market-intel/farm-bankruptcies-during-2020 https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/102980/err-304.pdf https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2020/07/14/trumps-broken-promises-to-farmers/ https://www.cfr.org/blog/92-percent-trumps-china-tariff-proceeds-has-gone-bail-out-angry-farmers https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/2019/07/25/trump-trade-war-farm-bailout-iowa-farmers-payments-hardship-aid-relief-china-corn-soybean/1825721001/
  21. Were they receiving money from the government to help them? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/donald-trump-coronavirus-farmer-bailouts-359932 Direct farm aid has climbed each year of Trump’s presidency, from $11.5 billion in 2017 to more than $32 billion this year — an all-time high, with potentially far more funding still to come in 2020, amounting to about two-thirds of the cost of the entire Department of Housing and Urban Development and more than the Agriculture Department’s $24 billion discretionary budget, according to a POLITICO analysis.
  22. I think dairy farmers were affected the most. I know Wisconsin was hit hard.
  23. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2020/07/14/trumps-broken-promises-to-farmers/ Since he became president, Trump’s disastrous policies have contributed to the more than 2,000 dairy farms that have had to close their barn doors forever, with a record 818 disappearing for good last year alone. The people who live on these farms are more than a number or a statistic.
