CORRUPT MF'ER.

Yes. You hit the nail right on the head.

"INSURRECTION"

So in my words: Republicans are Gutless MF'ers? Cowards? Fascists?

"SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY" 11 Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oath-keepers-leader-charged-capitol-breach-211007516.html Are we allowed by our resident right wing fascist to now call this an insurrection?

Why do you say that? Because of Chris? I don't see it... unless he's an amazing offensive guru that can come in as OC and help mentor Campbell, which I highly doubt Rick would agree to since he should be getting some other head coaching offers methinks, or front office offers... chances are close to nil, just on a guess.

I would be much, much, much more supportive of her run than Michelle Obama or Oprah's run.

Their economy will never grow with: A) Their kleptocracy. B) Their tendency to do basic research but not apply that to commercialization. C) Lack of business law that protects businesses from Putin's vindictiveness, oligarch's, etc. Venture capital pretty much goes nowhere there... D) Low birth rate = no population growth = no economic stimulus through population growth. Also, there is still brain-drain and Hot-Russian-girl drain as people leave to get away from Putin's fascist kleptocracy in the hope of a better life somewhere else... E) The over-reliance on petrol. They are a petro-state with oil and gas swiftly falling out of favor. Almost like being a coal miner in West Virginia. They are an economy the size of Italy and will be shrinking, and surpassed, by multiple other Western and SE Asian Democracies/ economies in short order...

That in summary is the argument against Ukrainian neutrality.

The military. I mean, we do all agree that the military is funded by, and ultimately controlled by our government/ civilian leadership, right? How about a Post Office/ postal service for everyone that for the most part, delivers all our mail. How about NASA... because space is just... so cool. How about our local Police & Fire Departments, which are not private businesses but are run by... the local government. When someone says they "hate government, or our government" or something like that... the very first thing that pops out of my mouth is "Oh, so you HATE our military, right?" They change their story immediately. Every single time.

Well... I guess we'll see what Bol Bol can, or cannot do, with some playing time... Although I don't see a whole lot of that here... maybe mostly G-League time?

That is "technically" my first Lions memory... But in 1976 I went to see a charity game between my uncle's team (he was 8 years older than me and I don't remember if this was a college game or... whatever...) and a bunch of Lions. I have the game program signed by all the Lions that played that night. A bunch of names I don't remember at all... no stars that I can see... But I don't really remember that at all... Even though I think I was 12 at the time... My real first memory was the Lions drafting Billy Sims.

This game is being played tonight I believe, at 8 PM? Or was tonight's game already scheduled anyways...? (Too lazy, or busy, to look that up at the moment...).

??? On the Red Wings side I think I've always been sitting in the Reality Room... At least I don't remember touting them as Championship Ready or anything like that... IIRC... I keep saying that they need more talent, better defenseman, better puck control, more offense, more young players coming up, etc... I don't think I've said anything yet that they're ready for a playoff run just yet. They still need an effective 2nd line, which they don't have. And I think I've said that a few times this year... Haven't even spoken of getting an effective 3rd line because they don't even have an effective 2nd one yet... And they need to stop hanging Ned out to dry... which goes back to better defenseman, puck control, more young kids... etc. I think they are getting better, and should be able to challenge for the playoffs next year but... yeah, they ain't ready for prime time just yet...

Shots are 35-12 at the end of 2. Yeah... 3-0 score. Ned being hung out to dry by the defense...

Yes. He set up the logistics end only. Nothing more. He gets no credit whatsoever for the expedited vaccine, which was a private industry accomplishment. He gets credit for setting up the infrastructure to rapidly disperse the vaccine(s) once approved, out to the public. Nothing more.

I say... Wait till next year on his shooting...

Well... Obviously... They're just not ready for prime time yet...

ALL Covid deaths are Trump's fault, including those in 2021. The only 2021 deaths are from the unvaccinated, and those jokers weren't vaccinated because Trump TOLD them to not take the vaccine. And the 2020 deaths were the origination of Trump's "shoot up some bleach", "try hydroxychloroquine", "try ivermectin", "Shoot a light up your ass and all will be well" horseshit. So EVERY Covid death is Trump's fault. Didn't you know?

Wait a second... You mean the Packers will WIN because they're playing their benchers versus our starters... Right?

Colbert's one-year anniversary of the Attempted Coup:

He acts like Mussolini in public. I think that's 100% the reason for the tough-guy image, and the no-mask in public stance. It's his fascist dictator wannabe poses... like Putin not wearing a shirt in half his "outdoors" photographs...
