I have my doubts. If it's partisan, then we need to look for another way to pick Supreme Court justices.

I'll take that as you confirming the Democrat party is racist.

"Some"? LOL They're not pandering... they're flat out lying to them to buy votes.

Yeah, I'm all for that. In the past, I said that Trump doesn't need to wall off Mexico, just wall off the Pacific Coast states and put up a sign along the California/Mexico board that says, "Everyone is welcome, come on in!"

Liberals are stupid. Why do we listen to them? Can't we just put the Democrat party on "Ignore"? We need to figure out how to do that.

Yeah, I'm not sure how anyone in any circle, can say that what the Democrat party is doing regarding reparations isn't completely racist. For years, the party is pushing the idea of reparations. They're throwing around "Millions" and "Billions" of dollars to be paid out... knowing full well it'll never happen. What's the reason for promoting it then? The ONLY reason is that they think black people are dumb enough to believe them and keep hopes that they'll come through, and to keep voting Democrat. Yet, not a single Democrat politician, group, or caucus has ever said "You know what, logistically, reparations can't happen. We're sorry it's not going to work and we hope everyone can get passed the idea that it could happen. Let's try to put slavery behind us and move forward knowing that this country is on equal footing going forward, in regards to race." Nope. That'll never happen because Republican's have been saying that for decades and they can't possibly ever say that Republican's have been right about race relations.

Then what are you saying, exactly? The Democrats are pushing reparations. There is a large contingent of black folks who think reparations are coming. You think it'll never happen. So, what exactly do you think the Democrats are doing and what exactly do think of the black people who believe the democrats are serious about all this money?

So you're saying that democrats are openly deceiving black people in order to pretend to care, just so black people continue ro vote for them? You're also saying that black people are so ignorant that they can't realize they're being used? Wow, that's pretty racist.

He must be terrible at interviews.

Your wife should've responded with, "Well, at least I won't have to pay as much as $20k to replace my EV battery".

LOL @ "Reparations Expert".

Leftists are ok with it because their side has the bigger fighter in the ring. It's the little guy (so to speak), that's the problem.

That was Michael Vick early in his career.

Ugh. R.I.P.

I have no problem tracking people who are here illegally. If/when they become legal, they can have any tracking removed.

You don't seek out below average production to give $30M. At that point, it's better to trade up. It's in Tampa's best interest to let Mayfield test the market. If he can get a payday from someone, then let him go. When he finds out that the best deal he can get is good backup money, then he can come back for $15M.

What potential is that? That in a great situation where you have one of the best WR duo's in the NFL, an above average pass blocking offensive line, a legit starting TE, and a solid runner/excellent pass catching RB, he can put up mediocre numbers that result in the 20th ranked offense in the league? That potential? Yeah, I'm sure teams are lining up to pay $30M to a guy who can lead them to below average offensive production.

LOL, guess you were born in 2015.

Sorry. You know the lefties get triggered when Rusty (is that Beach Guy or is it Gutterboy?), jumps in. LOL

@Fnord That is "deflection".

Yeah, that's fine, I wouldn't be totally shocked if you're right on that front... I'm not in every GM's office. LOL Here's the perspective that I'm coming from... Last year, the following teams had a chance to offer Baker Mayfield a deal... to start, and pay him only $6M to get him. Washington - rather take a shot on a 5th round pick (Sam Howell) Atlanta - rather take a shot on a 3rd round pick (Desmond Ridder) New Orleans - Give a long term deal to Derek Carr Carolina (who already said "thanks, but no thanks") - rather take a shot on a rookie... note, gave up multiple picks to trade up to #1. New England - rather waste another year on Mac Jones Houston - rather take a shot on a rookie Indianapolis - rather take a shot on a rookie Tennessee - rather keep Tannehill and run with a rookie as a backup Vegas - rather keep Garoppolo and run with a rookie as a backup TAMPA - Only gave him $4M to compete for a starting job. That's one-third of the league who could've given Mayfield a $6M deal to start and ALL of them, said "No thanks", when it came to offering a starting job at pennies. Fast forward to today. Mayfield had a year like 2 others (2018 & 2020), so it's not like he did something special. Nothing changed with Mayfield. As I stated on page 1, there are about 8 to 10 teams who need a QB (outlined here). There is Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, and Russell Wilson who are potential veterans and 5 to 7 rookies that will be available this offseason. So, we have more QB's than need, in a sense. I just don't see Mayfield ranking in the top 10 on anyone's list (other than Tampa maybe). Which means, they're bidding against only themselves. Let's assume that the Vikings re-sign Cousins (I think they will, because I believe they like him), and because he has the ability to use all of his weapons. Mayfield has proven this year, that he can't. He proved he has tunnel vision. I think someone in the top 10 (Atlanta?), trades for Fields and the Bears draft a QB. I think the Patriots get Russell Wilson. That's the 3 other veterans with new teams. That leaves us with 4 teams in the top 15 of the draft with a QB and only Denver, Tennessee, and Vegas left, who need a QB? Which of those would rather give Mayfield $30M+ AAV than draft a rookie? I agree with your last line, but I don't think it's as easy as that. Teams picking in the top 5 to 10, and taking a rookie QB are generally going to really terrible teams. Getting the results that Stroud brought are rare... but, the objective overall is to find a franchise QB. After that, the team does have to build around a player. The QB still needs help. Tampa is in a situation somewhat like KC, when they traded up to get Mahomes, like Baltimore when they traded back into the first round to get Jackson. They have a good team, solid, just need a real QB. They're not a terrible team. A QB coming into Tampa with have one of the best WR duo's in the NFL, a top 10 pass blocking offensive line, a legit starting TE, and a good RB who's an excellent receiver out of the backfield. Teams picking in the top 10 of the draft almost never have something like that.

You just proved my point. When Obama was running for president back in '07, the Democrats adopted the mantra of "anyone who disagrees with Obama, is doing it because they're racist". That was the beginning of the whole identity politics slant this country has been on ever since. They didn't stop either. In 2015, their mantra was "anyone who agrees with Trump is a fascist, racist...". So, for the last what, 17 years or so, the Democrat party has been painting the conservatives with the broadest of all brushes. NOW, when a conservative does it to you, you're panties are all in a bunch. Forgive me (I don't meant that really), if I say, stfu you piece of crap hypocrite.

Hence, providing the OP correct. Nothing happened to him.

Isn't he proof that OP is right?

Props to Venezuela. I wouldn't take them back either, if I'm given the option.
