1984Echoes

Can we start that off with a 40 mile bicycle race?

Every country that has money, capitalist countries included, will have gangsters hunting after that money. I mean, it's not as if the U.S. NEVER had mafioso or gangsters...!

Is it Aaron Glenn, or is it personnel? Missing 1 better CB or 1 better pass-rusher or both...?

On the Tigers I think that was simply by default. Or... maybe they want to try and encourage him...?

That IS clever, and fun just to say that out loud...

NOT just words...actual ACTIONS taken; such as Trump's march to the church using military to shove aside peaceful protesters, and as you've mentioned: Jan 6th. Also, the separating of kids from their parents just to show he can treat them like ****. To prove a point. And several of those children died under unsanitary conditions that Trump/ Miller wanted them kept in...

Ooops. Spoke too soon...

They don't have the numbers... If they use violence, that dynamic changes... If I'm hoping for anything it's that, no violence. Then, democracy wins.

Now, I've been on that train with you from the start... Actually, starting in 2015 when he first announced. In the seat right next to ya'... I think this will happen faster: As soon as Republicans start losing vast amounts of political seats/ power. Some of that has already occurred. If that trickle becomes a flood then the Republican party swiftly implodes from infighting, and Establishment versus MAGA - which has already started in some cases - but the end of the Republican Party creates The MAGA Party and the No Labels Party as a result... It won't take decades for this to happen, it's already begun... See: Kevin McCarthy. And: Never-Trumpers. And: No Labels. And: Manchin's attempt to pull in Centrists (which will be Never-Trumpers or Establishment Republicans (probably the same thing), No Labels, Independents, maybe even Libertarians without the fringy/ cringy element) into some kind of coherence.

OR... Something monumental happens that creates a VERY FAST/ SWIFT change, like: Civil rights (the South switched fast from Dems to Republicans as a result) Overturning Roe v Wade. The suburbs are changing FAST, right now, due specifically to this.

He was also: Running $1 Trillion annual deficits after their big Tax Cuts!!! legislation (and prior to Covid) that enriched ONLY the top 1%; which will, of course, be conveniently forgotten by every single die-hard Republican, Maga, and misguided "bad economy" voter. And he did absolutely ZERO to change the direction (up or down) of Obama's economy. In other words, it was NOT his economy, it was Obama's and Trump was just riding his coattails. I can provide statistics if anyone wants to question this. This also will, of course, be conveniently forgotten by every single die-hard Republican, Maga, and misguided "bad economy" voter.

The rest is just pure drivel.

Conversely... Maybe it is possible he sets the standard, and training, and approach, for the next Tigers TV announcer? I don't know if that's a thing... Just wagging.

DPJ in 2020 as a rookie: 14 of 20 (catches v targets) = 70% on a small sample size 2021: 34 of 58 = 58.6% 2022: 61 of 96 = 63.5% 2023: 18 targets in 7 games and Cleveland's QB play this year has been sporadic at best (PJ Walker in 5 games = 50% completion rate, Dorian Thompson-Robinson in 3 games = 54% completion rate... Deshaun Watson has been in and out of the lineup the 1st 7 games...) Did you think you were actually making a point on DPJ? Or do you think that maybe your comment ACTUALLY speaks to a small sample size and ****ty/ sporadic Browns QB play this year? I vote the latter, and I vote Holmes/ Campbell actually knowing what they are doing versus Jason_R actually knowing what the deal is with DPJ. I also vote that DPJ's stats with the Browns this year mean Jack ****.

It appears that Hamas' Gaza headquarters may actually BE underneath Shifa Hospital.

Fascist authoritarianism. Not hyperbole.

Are we having one this year? I would assume we are still in the market for Rule V'ers but... Ya' know... I don't really want to ASSUME...

And hopefully THAT wins out. That, and lots and lots of Dems voting for a Dem President no matter who it is (yes, even Biden) as well as a majority of Independents. I'll deal with the oligarchic kleptocracy wannabes by voting mostly Dems into power. No panacea... but it's better then empowering them with Republican control of all the levers of government. Because THAT will cement their past 40+ years of wins. Ever since Reagan, oligarchism has been on a striking rise.

And it was: FOUR years of Hock. So let's not be dishonest. Right...?

But that's the EXACT reason for his motivation to: To benefit HIMSELF. That's the EXACT reason he wants to be Kim Jong Un of America. To this country's detriment.

Normally I don't have to look words up as I have a halfway decently expansive vocabulary but... I DID have to look up "the opposite of hyperbole"...! No NY Times crossword puzzles for me. 😉

Obviously... I don't agree with your underselling of Trump here...

Because I've made my position clear. Putting this two-year old child into the Presidency again where he can have his daily temper tantrums is an existential threat against this nations democracy. He'll flout the Constitution, as he already did his first term, and institute fascist authoritarianism in this country, which is already halfway there because of his Maga supporters. And you believe none of that If I am correct Lee? You think he is a simple joke; manchild with mental health issues... business as usual in this country even if her gains back the Presidency? Because that's what it sounds like from your takes.

As far as it looks like to me... And Lee, I don't want to put words in your mouth... But it appears that you think Trump is nothing but a two-year-old man-child with mental health issues and that's it. So you don't believe anyone should take ANYTHING he says seriously. If I have that correct?
