From the article... If I recall, many people on this board who are on the left and the right, seem to be in agreement that they should stay away from kids. Of course, the far leftists of the crowd are fine with that, but I believe that is the minority. Correct me if I'm wrong. With that being said, Adam Smith's last statement implies that this is a far-right stance. If that's what he thinks, I think we can all agree that he is a far leftist.

That's not good. Generally this is a sign of osteoporosis.

What goal posts? You said good like finding him [Fauci] guilty. I just pointed out in NY that Trump was convicted of 34 felony's, but we don't even know what those felony's are. Apparently in NY, you can just find someone guilty of a crime as long as you think they're guilty of "something".

They should probably try him in NY. I hear that in their trials, you don't actually need proof of something illegal, you just need jurors to think that he's guilty of "something" and they don't all have to agree on what that "something" is.

I don't know... I seem to think this might be a perfect job for Belichick. He calls ALL the shots, money isn't an issue, and he has no one telling him who he can and can not recruit. I think he might do really well there.

Based on that, it looks like a local NY radio station that will simulcast ESPN when they don't have anyone or anything, going on locally. That's probably why you never hear any Trump stuff... unless they're saying something bad about him. Of course, it's up to the stations to sell ad time and it's possible that Trump isn't wasting money in buying up that ad time in a demographic that wouldn't be favorable. So it might be Trump's doing and not the radio stations.

Oh, my bad. I thought his premise was talking about the summer of 2020.

She and I both employ the same tactics. We listen to each other throughout the year and make mental notes and surprise each other by showing that we listened all year. I'll say, "Why's it so cold in here", "How come the grass isn't cut", or "Why's it so hot in here", and I've been know to say "How come the remote doesn't work" She'll buy me sweatshirts, a lawn mower, a ceiling fan, or batteries. She'll say, "What aren't the dishes washed", "How come the floors are a mess", and "Why are the clothes still in the basket in the laundry room". So I'll buy her a new dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, and clothes washer.

My guess is that you're listening to a local NY channel that is simulcasting the ESPN feed, and not a radio station that is actually owned by ESPN.

I think this is debatable, unless you include the fact that did it while dealing with racists and angry lesbians. If so, then I agree with you.

People rioting in the streets and destroying public property aren't "innocent people in the first place".

I'm merely saying that colleges, publishers, special interest groups, and corporations are paying big money to politicians and former presidents for making appearances and making bank on it for very little effort. I see that as no different than Trump trying to sell watches, cologne, or any other kind of thing. I'm not making any claims that they're stealing tax money, just putting it out there that I don't understand the rationale to be willing to give your money to things like that. My guess is that in large part that it's to put money into the pockets of the politicians as grift for getting things done at the government level, that help these groups make (or save), money. Meaning, they're paying off a bribe so to speak. For example, Bill Clinton passes a bill into law (The Telecommunications Act), that allows big corporations to buy little corporations in the media industry giving more control of information to corporations (weird that it's supposed to be Republican's who do that). To thank Clinton for that, these major media outlets pay Bill $100k here, $100k there, and alike, to come speak at events for like 30 minutes. Things like that.

I was just saying that I hear it all the time, that's all. Not making any judgements or anything like that.

They all are. I'm sure it happened when I was younger, but Bill Clinton with all these "speaking engagements", the Bush's, Obama, it's all the same. They're all millionaires because people pay them for crap. Why? Makes no sense. They also write books too, even Bernie. All people are doing is giving egotists money, because they're suckers.

He's discounting the fact that the police were handcuffed by their bosses in what they were able to do.

What happens when the police aren't doing their jobs in these situations?

I hear them a lot on satellite radio. I always laugh at the idea that people will buy this stuff. Honestly though, I don't see this as anything different than colleges, groups, or companies paying former presidents and/or politicians $100k+ to come speak to their group for like 30 minutes.

I don't think they need to dip in their own money as much as you think. The Dodgers average ticket costs $52.76 and with a seating capacity of 56,000... that's $239M if they sell out every game. Now, that's if they sell out every game, meaning 4,536,000 tickets sold. No, they didn't sell out every game, but they did get about 87% at 3,941,251 people. That comes to about $208M. They get $334M from their local TV contract deal with Charter Communications On top of the local deal, they're getting $60M from the national tv contract. Now, portions of the ticket sales is shared, right? But even though they're paying out... they're getting as well. What is shared among the 30 teams equally is ticket sales, merchandise, parking, & concessions, local tv money is NOT. So, let's assume that the Dodgers only get $140M from ticket sales, that still gets them to over $530M. Their payroll last year was $240M. I'm willing to bet that if you look at teams like the Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Mets, etc, you're likely to find similar trends. Maybe not the same numbers exactly, but that when you total 60% of ticket sales, their local tv contract, and the cut of the national tv contract, they're operating at a profit compared to their payroll... and that's before you include their cut of the revenue that is shared equally. The larger markets all have this advantage. Does it work for every team? No, because they spend foolishly, but it's not a mystery why there's the same 7 or 8 teams that always seem to be in the mix every year, and those teams happen to be in large markets.

Good stuff. @purdygood, you have a starting point. Consult an attorney about a prenup and go from there. Give updates.

He's still licking the wounds from the Trump landslide victory last month. It's hard for him to come to grips that the mandate from the American public turned on him. You need to give him time to cope.

You'd think that would matter, but I don't think it does. LOL I have 3 cousins who went to colleges in Ohio... 1 to Ohio State, one to Toledo, and the other to Dayton. One of those cousins married a dude who went to Cincinnati. All 4 of them root for Ohio State in all sports, even when they play the school that they went to.

Exactly.

Click on the link now. LOL

Imagine needing to be talked down to, when you went to an Ivy league school.

Worms is the one who claims to be the lawyer, he's probably a better option than me for that. Though, with all the websites out there, I don't think you'd have a hard time finding a ready-made contract online. That said, I'm not sure you could make a non-citizen sign a legal US document and have it stand up in court. Again, I'm not a lawyer, only guessing. On second thought, I'm more convinced that @Engorgeous George is actually an attorney, more so than Worms. He's a better option as well. He also may have more info on marrying someone to make them a citizen. I don't think that is a straight forward as some may think. Kind of why I'm curious to see how this would turn out for you. Gotta be careful though. You get them all pregnant... you might need a 2nd or 3rd job.
