The Frankish Reich

That's easy: - Ashlii Babbitt, moronic crusader, was deeply into all things Q Anon - Fat amphetamine head who was trampled also left us a nice trail of Q Anon social media posts - Heart attack guy called for Obama to be put to death (why? well, for various conspiratorial fantasy reasons) and aired support for the Proud Boys All I know about the stroke guy is that he started a business making Trump themed kangaroo stuffies. Which is more pathetic than evil.

Yes, twice in a row. Old joke: Kid walks in on his parents having sex. He asks, "what are you doing, mom and dad." Dad says, "playing poker." Next day kid walks in on his brother waxing the carrot. Kid says, "what are you doing?" Brother says, "playing poker." Kid protests: "I thought you needed two people to play poker." Brother responds: "Not if you have a good hand!" Ol' Tarheel has a good hand. He can performatively "ignore" everyone else and respond to his own comments.

In other shocking news, I have it on good information that books about Michael Jackson sold a lot more copies than books about Huey Lewis. And that books about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sold a lot more than a biography of the Queen Mother. (So this is where B-Man is going. Scandal sells, Trump's behavior has been scandalous, Biden's has been comparatively dull, therefore he must have beaten Biden. Is B-Man a pseudonym for Rudy Giuliani?)

I remember James Carville's line about Clinton's so-called bimbo eruptions: "You drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know who might turn up."

There was the damn fool who tried to break a window into an inner secured area protected by an armed officer who got shot and died. There was a fat woman who got trampled by her exuberant fellow rioters. Her death was later ruled as caused by accidental amphetamine intoxication. There was a man who was so excited/out of shape that he had a heart attack before he could barge into the Capitol; early reports, sadly apparently erroneous, were that he tased himself in the gonads. There was another man who had a stroke and died. Both he and the heart attack guy were found to have cardiovascular disease. Here's to these winners, martyrs for Donald John Trump. RIP.

This Larry Sinclair sure sounds like a reputable fellow: Carlson, 54, speaking on the popular Adam Carolla Show last week, said: 'In 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack.' 'A guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said 'I'll sign an affidavit' and he did, 'I'll do a lie detector' and he did,' he added, calling Sinclair's claims 'obviously true.' In fact, Sinclair notoriously failed the lie detector test in 2008, and then publicly accused Obama adviser David Axelrod of bribing the examiners to rig the results *** Sinclair's history of sworn statements is also dubious. In 2004, he signed an affidavit claiming to be 'terminally ill' as he sought to have a warrant dismissed, although nearly two decades later he appears to still be alive. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12484515/Tucker-Carlson-Larry-Sinclair-Obama.html Nicely done, Tucker. You are the new darling of the imbecilic right.

Wasn't there also some guy a few hours up the road from Parcells' former location who ran it all as head coach and GM and who won a couple or six Super Bowl rings? (Nice to see people forgetting that!)

Ciara happened.

It's good! Wouldn't we all love to have Rousseau turn into prime Von, or Cook turn into prime, umm, CJ Spiller (sorry). But you start off with a mile long lead if you draft a franchise QB, and lots of other guys are big to significant contributors.

I hope he sticks. We really have been missing a better than adequate blocking TE. It was fun to pile on Lee Smith, but he did his job and made the team just a little bit better.

I'm somewhere in between "he's done" and "he'll be back to the old Russell Wilson." People who didn't have the misfortune of watching every Broncos game last year (living in CO I did, just so I'd have something to talk about on Monday) probably can't comprehend exactly how effin awful Nathaniel Hackett was. Just incredibly unprepared on offense and special teams. Wilson showed a little of the old flash late in the season and has looked leaner and more athletic in preseason so far. His main problem now: no one to throw too with a ton of injuries in the receiving corps.

You would do well to actually read up on this instead of cutting/pasting silliness from social media.

The impeachments resulted in straight party-line votes in the Senate. It was clearly a political process (and yes, that's what the constitution created), so saying suggesting that the fact that he wasn't ultimately impeached" and removed from office (or rendered ineligible to run again) is hardly the same thing as a finding that he was not guilty. In fact, some of the arguments his attorneys made were that even if his behavior was arguably criminal, it didn't rise to the constitutional definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors." So pointing to the political results of the impeachments as some kind of evidence that the charges were bogus is ridiculous. The Republican House brought impeachment articles against Bill Clinton. The Senate did not vote to impeach. That certainly doesn't mean that there is a judicial finding that Bill Clinton did not lie under oath. He did. He was guilty, but not impeached in the political process in the Senate.

You mean when Trump was "acquitted" because at least 49% of the jurors (Republican Senators) were predisposed to NEVER vote against him? That's the ultimate rigged jury pool. Today: "but he'll get a Fulton County jury full of Democrats! Unfair!!"

True. It was more of a lack of ability to adapt to those special situations that call for a different approach.

Name one great NFL QB producing school. Succeeding as an NFL QB is just too much of a crapshoot to say "just another USC QB." (Or whatever school you choose). Here's an ESPN list of the best QB producing colleges: https://www.on3.com/news/quarterback-u-espn-released-top-10-producing-schools-oklahoma-alabama-lsu-ohio-state/ Oklahoma is #1 because guys like Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray have definitely succeeded as NFL QBs. But Jalen Hurts is the only one who seems like he has a chance to become an elite NFL QB. Other colleges on the list are there because they've produced the likes of Justin Herbert (maybe a future elite) and Marcus Mariota (definitely a current journeyman) or Bryce Young (we'll see), Tua (same) and Mac Jones (we've seen enough I think). And our great current/recently retired NFL QBs have come from Texas Tech, Wyoming, Cal, Michigan, Tennessee, Purdue, Louisville. If we limit it to the 2000s, "Name one great [school name] QB" works for pretty much any college.

Sad but true.

This Alabama move came really, really close to outright contempt. The larger point: a long time ago I worked on a civil rights districting case dealing with local electoral districts. Back then the prevailing theory (still ensconced in case law) is that "majority minority" districts were critical to allow for a minority to get elected. And that's what has often happened. But over the years a lot of voting rights advocates have wondered whether this is counterproductive. Creating a majority black district may indeed get a black candidate elected, but at the expense of creating several safe "white" districts - districts where a black candidate doesn't stand a chance, and where white politicians can ignore concerns of black voters without suffering any electoral consequences. It's a good debate, and one that we should be having now instead of these never-ending gerrymandering lawsuits.

Well, there goes one Trump vote under your new rules.

He won't be in jail. Even if one of the trials finishes before the election, he'll almost certainly be out on bail pending appeal. But you are right about the other points. Barring something truly unforeseen (like a major health issue) he's steamrolling his way through what's left of the Republican Party in his epic Get Elected to Stay Out of Jail campaign.

I had to look up that name ... 1967, co-founder of the Santana Blues Band!

What, that's a whole 12 days ago! Plenty of time to develop the kind of "always liked" attachment to some artist.

Saffold is 35. This has to be concerning for a guy like Mitch Morse, who is 31. We've come a long way in the NFL since the old Deacon Jones pass rusher who led with a hard slap to the helmet. But it's still brutal on the O line.

The Cards are the only team that is acting like they are tanking. So I gotta go with them.

Maybe what we're saying here has some common ground. Leslie Frazier's D holds the opponent to 2 field goals in their first 3 possessions. Josh Allen's offense scores 2 TDs on their first 3 possessions. The opponent is playing from behind, taking more risks, the ratio of passes to runs increases, they give up the ball.
