    Nathaniel "Tank" Dell

    Definitely pick him up. He’s at least flex-worthy if healthy. Nico Collins is a big draw there, yes, but Tank is very talented

    Makes sense because Trump loves Erdogan: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-usa-trump-erdogan/behind-trump-erdogan-bromance-a-white-house-meeting-to-repair-u-s-turkey-ties-idUSKBN1XM0F0 Or wait, maybe it’s Victor Orban, because the senile ol’ dumbass can’t tell em apart! https://newrepublic.com/post/176399/trump-mixes-up-autocrats-erdogan-orban Hell, he just loves all autocrats

    Bud Light Kicks Modelo's Ass Out Of The Octagon

    I prefer Pacifico for the Mexican beers but modelo especial is decent
  4. Landslide is a strong but +7 million popular vote and 306-232 EC vote is significant
  5. Yeah that’s fair. Once you’re like 11 or 12 (before middle school) it starts getting a little ridiculous anyway

    Bud Light Kicks Modelo's Ass Out Of The Octagon

    Remember when all the righty snowflakes got triggered by a silly ad campaign? That was fun
  8. I meant statistically significant. Not necessarily a huge lead but outside the supposed margin of error. Anyway, this poll says he doesn’t now, so what’s your point anyway?
  9. Definitely bad news for Biden. When Trump was creeping up on him or leading in national polls, the party line was “well Biden has significant leads in the swing states.” Now if that’s not true…
  10. Can you charge a sitting Justice? The terms of the private loan were as generous as they were clear: With no money down, Justice Clarence Thomas could borrow more than a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend to buy a 40-foot luxury motor coach, making annual interest-only payments for five years. Only then would the principal come due. But despite the favorable nature of the 1999 loan and a lengthy extension to make good on his obligations, Justice Thomas failed to repay a “significant portion” — or perhaps any — of the $267,230 principal, according to a new report by Democratic members of the Senate Finance Committee. Nearly nine years later, after Justice Thomas had made an unclear number of the interest payments, the outstanding debt was forgiven, an outcome with ethical and potential tax consequences for the justice. “This was, in short, a sweetheart deal” that made no logical sense from a business perspective, Michael Hamersley, a tax lawyer who has served as a congressional expert witness, told The New York Times. The Senate inquiry was prompted by a Times investigation published in August that revealed that Justice Thomas bought his Prevost Marathon Le Mirage XL, a brand favored by touring rock bands and the super-wealthy, with financing from Anthony Welters, a longtime friend who made his fortune in the health care industry. In a statement to The Times this summer, Mr. Welters said the loan had been “satisfied” in 2008. He declined to answer whether that meant Justice Thomas had paid off the loan in full; nor did he respond to other basic questions about the terms. But while a number of questions remain, he gave a much fuller account to the committee, which has the authority to issue subpoenas and compel testimony. The documents he volunteered indicate that, at the very least, Justice Thomas appears to have flouted an ethics rule requiring that he include any “discharge of indebtedness” as income on required annual financial disclosure reports. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service treats debt forgiveness as income to the borrower. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/25/us/politics/clarence-thomas-rv-loan-senate-inquiry.html

    Bill Belichick is a Facade. Not a good coach!

    Wrong, ‘01-‘04 was dominated by defense, the running game, and diamond in the rough players that Belichick found and revived. Brady was important for gotta-have-it clutch plays, but he was not the primary engine of those teams. 2014-2018 was mostly Brady, yes. But you must be too young to remember the earlier years.

    Were you bullied as a child?

    Pretty much this. I’m sure I was but I can’t recall many instances, so it must not have been that bad. But for some kids, it was

    Speaker of the House discussion

    Typically I’d agree, but in this case, given that he is anti-democracy and tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election, I don’t think this one is fully going away. It WILL be an issue in 2024, the question is how much of an issue.
  14. Yeah that’s pretty dumb. Thank goodness I don’t live in that district

    I have a major announcement.

    Don’t worry, Boebert will probably still blow you

    Speaker of the House discussion

    Lol this coming from the group that supports anti-democracy election deniers as speaker of the focking house and third in line to the presidency. But can’t even actually elect one of them in any decent amount of time because congressional republicans are so focking inept! indeed

    I’m aware of that, which is why I’m annoyed that I was made to waste my time laying it all out

    War in Israel

    Well I guess I’m not being clear enough. It’s crazy to me but there you go. So in THIS THREAD, we’ve had mainly @KSB2424, and others, claiming for dozens of pages that certain geeks hate Jews and Israel because they’re supposedly insufficiently supportive of Israel’s response and “tacitly pro Hamas” (per KSB). What I am saying is, the righties’ standard-bearer, Donald Trump, has praised Adolf Hitler in the past, who — as you may recall — exterminated six million Jews in the focking Holocaust. Then you’ve got posters like peefoam parroting praise of Hitler because their boy Trump did it. I am asking KSB to reconcile this. Never seen him call out peefoam and he’s a HUGE Trump fanboi. Yet, while declaring others anti-Semitic, he ignores the fact that Donald Trump and his followers have repeatedly praised Adolf focking Hitler, which is about as anti-Semitic as you can get. And that’s in addition to Trump’s recent comments slamming Netanyahu and praising HAMAS, after the Hamas invasion! https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/11/netanyahu-trump-chides-israel-hamas-war-00121142 Ok now that I’ve spelled it out letter by letter, I’m sure I’ll get a directly on point and non-evasive response

    KSB is playing dumb and the other two are dumb. Not sure what OM’s deal is

    We got a lot of folks with reading comprehension problems in here. Okay, here you go: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/06/donald-trump-hitler-michael-bender-book https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/08/08/trump-praised-german-generals-loyalty-to-hitler.html So, pro-Hitler comments by Trump: an issue, or no?

    I fully expect I won’t agree with him ideologically. It’s the voting against democracy part that goes a little far, imo. HTH!
