Could this happen in the future of the US ?

That's why I just have not been able to trust politicians , very sad.

Wow , I never knew that

Strange fact , I liked and voted for Nixon in 72 . Went to his campaign rally at the Aud in 68. I thought a Quaker would be good for peace back then. For some reason I still like the guy

When I finished HS in 69 the fear of getting drafted I joined the Navy for 6 years . Had good training and good job as a Electronics Technician. After watching the nightly news of the carnage there , I lost trust in our government.

I have had contempt for both parties since the Viet Nam fiasco.

I have no use for either extreme . I vote in local elections as a Independent , last time I voted for a President was in 96 . I lost trust for Congress after it passed NAFTA and allowed unfair trade with China . My job went to Mexico ( auto parts ) retired after GM went bankrupt.

Just one example https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/white-supremacists-plead-guilty-to-rioting-in-charlottesville

It's going to get rougher before the next election with such intense hate on both extremes.

I would guess Trump decided to pull back in Syria before Dec 20, 2018 when Jim Mattis submitted his resignation letter. The US was caught off guard by how fast Turkey went into Syria US bombs its own ammo dump in Syria as most troops beat a hasty retreat from the country https://taskandpurpose.com/us-bombs-own-ammo-dump

I give this guy a lot of credit Ernie Adams is known for his eccentric personality and low profile, as well as his extremely thorough analysis of the game. New England Patriots Position: Football research director https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Adams_(American_football)

Lamar is the surprise to me , good pick by the Ravens.

If Bill Belichick is their acting DC , he really is the GOAT

Darnold was even mic'ed up for this game by ESPN and was caught admitting in the first half that he was "seeing ghosts" in the pocket. It was evident. Darnold threw off his back foot at an alarming rate, sometimes even in a clean pocket. All four of his picks were hideous throws, and two of them were red-zone ducks into the end zone that resulted in easy grabs for the defender. https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/10704/sam-darnold

You are right , I went to shore duty in 74 , the DE renamed the FF fast frigate . It was a very advanced ship for it's time. Soviet subs did not have a chance against a nuclear tipped anti sub rocket ASROC

The elections in 92 and 96 I voted for Ross Perot and were the last times I voted for President . Since then I just shake my head.

The Navy ship I was on since it's pre commisioning DE 1083 was given to Taiwan in the early 90s. That was a good anti sub ship , hope we continue to support them. Been there on liberty , good people just like Hong Kong.

Knox is a rookie , he will learn from his mistakes. It did not cost the game is important.

hmm

I was relieved that the turnovers were corrected. Surprised how motivated Miami was.

Defence minister says 'no force' can stop China reunification Defence minister Wei Fenghe tells security forum that resolving 'Taiwan question' is China's greatest national interest. "Resolving the Taiwan question to realise China's full reunification is the irresistible trend of the times, China's greatest national interest, the righteous path to follow and the longing of all Chinese people." Beijing sees Taiwan as a renegade province that needs to be retaken by force if necessary, a message President Xi Jinping reiterated at the start of this year. "However we will never allow separatists for Taiwan independence to have their way, nor allow interference by any external forces. Advancing China's reunification is a just cause, while separatist activities are doomed to failure." China claims the entire South China Sea, but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam, which surround the strategic waterway, also have claims. "The South China Sea islands and Diaoyu islands are inalienable parts of China's territory. We will not allow even an inch of territory that our ancestors have left to us to be taken away," Wei said. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/defence-minister-force-stop-china-reunification-191021014233161.html Chinese aircraft carrier program As of 2018, the PLAN has a single combat-ready aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, with a second and third under construction.[1] It is projected that China may possess five or six aircraft carriers by the 2030s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_aircraft_carrier_programme Retaking Taiwan more likely when there Navy is ready

I don't think Kroft had any passes thrown to him , strange for a very high paid TE.

Deep passes ?
