We are working on the regression analysis. Early data suggests TDS grade and shlit posting barrage levels r squared = 0.947 up from earlier calculation of 0.945.

I've heard of him!

A really important question! The short answer is that ICE needs to consistently overstep their authority in order to meet the high daily deportation quotas that the Trump administration established. This overstepping of authority is the specific reason for the ICE protests, regardless of what MAGA’s may try to argue otherwise. The longer answer is that authoritarians use the dehumanization process* as a cudgel for increasing power. What it means to dehumanize, in the legal sense, is to not respect certain rights as universal that are supposed to be thought of as such: due process, free speech, no cruel/unusual punishment, recognition of international law, etc… As soon as the citizenry sees these rights infringed upon, it is their duty to protest and disobey so as to not normalize the aberrant behavior. Intelligent people will understand how the dehumanization process is an eventual boomerang**. MAGA populists, meanwhile, easily fall for the scapegoating*** of brown immigrants (illegal or legal). * - Other examples of creeping authoritarianism: ignoring and undermining decrees from the judicial branch, subsuming the powers of Congress to set tariffs, circumventing the Congressional “power of the purse,” crafting unconstitutional executive orders, increasing voter disenfranchisement, leaving military spending unfettered, hosting military parades, and normalizing military responses to domestic affairs. ** - Speaking of boomerangs…it is said (by some French guy, I think…Foucault?) that fascism is imperialism turned inward. So when an empire expends money and energy abroad to the neglect of its own citizens, the domestic decay leads to internal instability. The government will then attempt to stabilize using tactics it perfected abroad. The point here is that the MAGA authoritarianism we’re witnessing isn’t a black swan event, but rather the predictable product of unchecked post-WW2 imperialism (along with Reagan neoliberalism). *** - Culpability lies with the people responsible for labor exploitation and the people who destroyed collective bargaining leverage in the United States.

They added 3 players who can play DE though - bosa, jackson, hoecht.

Has anyone ever seen Olbermann and Redhawk in the same room at the same time?

Alright, but where do you actually stand? 😅

I think this is the same guy who started the 'pay the man' thread that got closed. It's just a different personality.

Yes. Keith Olbermann is exactly the guy with whom you must align leftists More, please!

I'll give the money to Alexander before Cook

America's finest.

Valby on a good night with a hot crowd was just spectacular, one of the great live experiences.

I'd imagine the Dolphins have to be interested looking at their backfield and that they're trying to get rid of Ramsey

One of the reasons we survived and excelled without Diggs is that we had Cook. If the philosophy is to get rid of any offensive playmakers with talent because they make too much money and we can just rely on Josh, I'm opposed. I think the opposite. To optimize Josh's talents contributions, we need to surround him with good players. Josh deserves weapons. Diggs was addition by subtraction. I don't Cook is in the same category.

Remember Napster? The music industry were ripping people off with the price of music. The price of albums were ridiculous. Look at it now because people used Napster and subsequent streaming services. The NFL is trying to rip us off as well. Look at the money they get from the networks. It's insane. How much is enough for these greedy owners? I personally don't look for roundabouts, but calling these people thieves is a bit much, IMHO.

He was getting snaps last year, I would be shocked if he didn’t roster

As if places like Buffalo-Niagara Falls weren’t already struggling - now they’ll suffer even more. Well done, MAGA.

That really awesome. As a big hockey fan I am quite jealous

Maybe we can sign him and send him right to the PED naughty table for 6 weeks too.

This definitely deserves its own thread

You think he would have learned from his brother. Must be getting advice rom the same person.
