  3. Yeah, that's what collusion means. And again, the word has NOT been used in the witness statements. In other words, only the reporter is using it. The witnesses are not. Meaning the people who actually saw what happened are NOT accusing the owners of secret or illegal conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others. (Thanks for the definition of the thing they are NOT being accused of by the people who were there.) What is actually described by the witnesses is only a guy with some authority urging business owners to keep prices down. NOT secret agreement or cooperation to do so. Pointing out what's in everyone's best interest is not collusion. To further use your definition there, the witnesses are NOT accusing the NFL of having a "secret agreement to fix prices."
  4. That woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die.
  5. There you go! Glad you realized you were talking out both sides of your mouth. Nicely done!

  7. Okay. If not $100 million, how many millions of dollars shall we agree that he blew? 🙃
  8. For the click averse, below is the original Facebook post from exactly one year after the incident: Rebecca Hendryx March 25, 2022 After a year of being silenced while this case was ongoing, I’m here a year later standing up for myself, bringing the broken system to light, and sharing the most vulnerable story of myself. March 25, 2021 I was raped in my own dorm room by a boy I had only met once before, a boy who was an early enrollee and had only been on campus for 8 weeks, a boy who was and STILL IS an active member on the University of Kentucky's Football team. The past twelve months have been exhausting, humiliating, and beyond frustrating. I've had to do things that I hope and pray no other 19-year-old goes through, but unfortunately, I know they will. Throughout this year-long process I have been forced to recount my story dozens of times, further deepening the trauma into my mind. I have been questioned about my choices, my response to the assault, and have been made to believe that I somehow asked for this. There is no right way to “act” or respond when you’re being assaulted, or the long days that follow. Although there is no right answer, I did everything I believed was right, everything I had been taught was the “right” thing to do if faced with such circumstances. I stayed up all night immediately following the incident making sure I did everything to “protect” myself in a hope of holding my assaulter accountable. I contacted officers, friends, and family to make them aware of what happened. I immediately went to the University of Kentucky hospital and spent hours therel having an extremely invasive exam done on my body. I was escorted by police straight from the hospital to the Lexington Courthouse to file an emergency protective order against the perpetrator, which was granted. I was then met at my dorm room by three detectives who took fingerprints and photos from my room, but this was just the beginning. I then hired an attorney and began fighting for justice and protection. After a Fayette County Judge heard my testimony (and my perpetrator was given the opportunity to do the same) I was granted an order of protection for the next 3 years. I was hopeful. Hopeful that people would hear me, believe me, and fight for me. I was hopeful that I would be actively protecting other victims of sexual assault by my own story and trauma. That hope was met with dead ends at every turn. I was told criminal charges would not be brought because there wasn’t “force.” Meaning because I didn’t physically fight back, there was no hope of accountability. My next hope was a Title IX hearing with the University of Kentucky. I was fully prepared for another disappointment, but I wanted to keep going. After giving testimony about my story, having my friends give their testimony about the story and letting my perpetrator do the same, I felt hopeful again for the first time in months. My case was devastatingly clear. I thought a small sliver of justice may be served. But once again, I was let down. Despite an audio recording I secretly filmed immediately following the incident where he never denied the fact I told him multiple times I did not want to have sex, and that he forced it, the SANE kit from the hospital, the dm’s between myself and the perpetrator, and the witnesses I provided, the law turned their cheek. I was given a choice and chance to file a lawsuit against the perpetrator, but money was never the solution. I want people to know the disgusting truth of what it looks like to be ignored, made “at fault”, and let down by the system that is supposed to protect individuals against sexual assault. I’ve been abandoned and left to fight on my own by the University of Kentucky, Title IX UK, and mostly the detectives, police, and law. If perpetrators are not held accountable it is clear that it will inevitably happen again. There needs to be change. College athletes need to be held accountable for their actions regardless of the status that they have. Change cannot happen when victims of rape are being silenced and belittled everday. The heartbreaking fact of the matter is that athletes are valuable to the school and the University will invest in attorneys, scholarships, and time into anything to make sure they’re protected. The University is alternatively willing to turn a blind eye to events that happen to non-athletes, especially women who are victims of sexual assault. Thank you to my family, attorneys, and friends for loving me and supporting me through the hardest year of my life.
  9. good on you for admitting trickle down economics was and is a scam!
  10. right - so this is a nothingburger. you either want to help americans, or you want to hurt them. this bill creates a secret police force and does nothing to help seniors, veterans, middle class, poor, or disabled.
  11. Could have sworn the Reagan tax cuts only benefited the wealthy. Are you suggesting he was part of the modern far right?
  12. It's not really $100 million. Agents, advisors, hangers-on and the tax-man take most of the money. The tax-man alone eats 45% of those "earnings." Don't forget it's not what you earn, but what you keep.
  13. Take from the needy to feed the greedy. The legacy of the modern far right. Reagan conservatism is dead. Replaced by a subservient cult.
  14. Don’t forget the millions that are going to die from OBBB! RIP in advance to……….everyone I guess. So sad.
  15. this prez the same, but aside from that, lets trade a free society for secret police good call
  16. You know the democrat party is cooked when the guy making the most sense had a stroke.
  17. The last president couldn't even speak words. What a phenomenal upgrade this has been.
  18. Taco promises two weeks and fails. He can't process 4 weeks. 90 deals in 90 days! 😄
  19. They hate the separation of powers
  20. Is this the 4 week taco update? If so, still terrible.
  21. You stooges transact in fear, anger, and division - in direct opposition to your own self interest. Unless any of you are billionaires or 500 mill CEOs? Wage slaves parroting the ruling class's propaganda. Good job. Put another way, shatters the MAGA myth that minorities get preference. Thanks for pointing that out, MAGAt!
  22. Thank you for sharing this bit of journalism. Very powerful. If I may share the words from “Kim” with the rest of the group (she is the only “soldier” quoted): Air Force mechanic “Kim”, speaking anonymously to TNR, said she enlisted in the military “to get a stable paycheck, a roof over my head, food in my stomach at the end of the day.” But now she worries about the increasing prospect of being issued unlawful orders
  23. Same reason the racists love Repubs so much.
  24. All these takes are off. Buffalo has consistently been Super Bowl favorites or in the running multiple times. So the start of why we are even talking about this is off. Then to compound it with somehow saying our playoff success is more profound. Marginal at best and mostly just because they haven’t played a wild card game. Lastly, they have more talent than us. So yes, they should be favored over us at this time.
