Maybe Trump can get all the warmongering centrist Democrats to act like cowards as they did under DubyaMD and go along with him too.

So Medicaid activists in wheelchairs get arrested the day of a sit in but it takes months to arrest MAGA protesters who used bear spray on police, smashed their heads into doors, beat them with barricades, flag poles, batons?

I'm guessing this is a salary dump for Edmonton? Will they be in pursuit of a goalie this offseason? I can't imagine they want to keep rolling with Skinner.

LOL are we trying to imply that either right wing Democrats Cuomo or Adams are component? Of course incompetent people like Cuomo and Adams will be attacked for being incompetent and corrupt.

Wings released their centennial logo. I went and did some research online about this. From the research I did Meijer was not around 100 years ago. Also, looking back on the old school Red Wings logos, the Meijer lettering wasn't apart of this. Unless I missed something or it was in very small font. ****ing hate that Meijer logo on the logo almost as much as the Priority BS we have to put up with.

I love the whole Mamdani will be a disaster, as if a right wing Democrat like Eric Adams hasn't been a complete ****ing disaster during his tenure. The dude got investigated and indicted on corruption charges for god sakes.

Cuomo running as an independent screws Adams and I'd think cancels out some of Cuomo's advantage there too.

Maybe voters don't want a corrupt, sleazebag like Andrew Cuomo to be Mayor.

OMG!!! Democratic Socialist and Muslim Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next Mayor of New York City.

Would you be in anyway disappointed on Friday if the Wings didn't package the pick at #13 as apart of a deal to acquire an NHL player? Do you want them to trade the pick?

Democrats 2026!!!!!!

Where was the congressional authorization for this attack on Iran? Was the War Powers Act passed by congress?

**** you Donald Trump. You told the American people you would not drag America, our country, and our troops into another endless war. Yet, here you are, lying through your teeth, and dragging us into war with Iran. **** you!!!!!!!!!

So the 8-9 Bucs deserved to make it in 2022 over the Lions who had a better record that year?

So 7-9 Seattle in 2010 deserved to make the playoffs over two teams that were 10-6 in the Bucs and Giants simply because they won the worst division in football that year?

The point of a division in my mind is to have division rivalry games and hold longstanding geographical rivals together. I'd be ok with divisionless conferences though. Why should teams with losing records, in weak divisions, be rewarded with a playoff birth for playing in a bad division and not even breaking the .500 record mark?

I like the aggressiveness of his offseason plan. He's doing the things I want to do which are dump a bad contract or two, add another defenseman in the top 4 pairing, and get a first line forward to add scoring punch to the lineup and PP. I would swap Robertson or Pettersson for Ehlers as I think both have more upside and are younger than Ehlers. As well, it seems their contracts would only be $2 million more per year than what he is proposing we give Ehlers if we acquired him.

Maybe we can get some of the most prominent, centrist Democrats to be war mongers on Iran just their centrist peers from the past were when they voted to invade Iraq under false pretenses. Then, after that, we can nominate 3 of our next 5 candidates for President who supported invading Iran. Who will step up and fill Kerry, Clinton, and Biden's shoes on Iran? The progressives in Congress at the time had a mostly united front against the invasion of Iraq and history proved them right. Seriously though, the Democratic Party should be united in opposition to war with Iran. Every Democrat should be talking about Trump's diplomatic failures here, how he tore up a perfectly good diplomatic deal with Iran, and how he is leading us off into a costly war with Iran. Every Democrat should be calling him out for campaigning as a President who would end these wars, not start more of them. Hopefully, unlike when DubyaMD was President, centrist Democrats don't cave like cowards to Trump and support war with Iran.

I want none of that Ken Holland "We like our team" BS out of Yzerman. To your point, if Robertson isn't a guy you go all in for than who? I was a big proponent of the late Johnny G coming to Detroit but I get that he didn't fit their timeline, so I understood why we did bother trying to acquire him. But guys like Robertson, Pettersson, Bennett, they are all three of talented, young enough, and fit the timeline of where we are at developmentally as an organization. I don't want him to blow all our cap space or financial flexibility on only one player, but I want him to be aggressive in trying to acquire a top, under 30 talent for this team.

I would be in favor of taking on Dumba's $3.75 mil contract for next year if we could waive him without any major dead cap type of hit. Again, I am assuming Dallas wants players that are young, cheap, and either able to help them win now or able to help them win within the next year or two like Danielson and Buch. I am going off the assumption that they don't want a bunch of picks because they are retooling rather than rebuilding, but maybe I'm wrong.

Realistically, what would it take to get Robertson? I am guessing the Stars would want good, young, cheap assets over draft picks in any trade because they are not in a rebuild mode. Do we have what they might be looking for, assuming that's it? Wings Get: Jason Robertson Start gets: Nate Danielson, Dmitri Buchelnikov, and a 2025 2nd round pick? Too little, too much?

Trump selling bibles for $100 plus tax is everything Jesus warned against in the bible. He literally went into the temple, flipped over the tables, and drove out the coin counters, changemakers, and profiteers who would seek to profit off the name of God and in his holy house. Now, I'm not religious, but if you're going to be religious, at least pretend to follow what is actually written in your holy scripture. On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations"? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers." - Mark 11:15

I've seen these threads about what rules should be changed or eliminated. I'm not going to make a thread on this topic and I know I've brought this up before. However, division winners should not get automatic playoff births. Division winners should at minimum not be slotted in one of the top 4 seeds and the actual 4 best records in a conference should be a top 4 seed. I really believe though that the top 7 teams in each conference should be the ones that make the playoffs and should be slotted in their seed based off of their overall record and then any tiebreakers necessary. Teams with losing records have no business making the playoffs. Teams in weak divisions, like the AFC and NFC South divisions have been over the few years shouldn't automatically be slotted into a top 4 seed. I liked that the Lions proposed a change this offseason to have the best 4 teams, not the 4 division winners, get the top playoff seedings in a conference.

Is there a business lobby that has a financial interest in asbestos coming back? Dow Chemical? DuPont? Who the hell is even lobbying to bring back asbestos? Or does Trump and his far right minions see this as some sort "bad government overreach" in the same way that they hate paper straws? Like, using asbestos in the construction of homes, office buildings, industrial facilities, retail stores, etc. should be allowed on the basis of personal freedom. Who the **** wants asbestos back?
