First parlay win of the year! Albeit, very modest. I took Houston + Washington for 20 and then another 20 straight on Houston.

Tommy Sweeney out for the season - myocarditis

That's a great thing. I'm glad that NFL players aren't going back to high octane work with undiscovered issues. -
Tommy Sweeney out for the season - myocarditis
BullBuchanan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Scary stuff. Apparently this is happening to 15%-19% of recovered athletes. I hope he's going to be ok long term. That pitcher for the Red Sox got it in a real bad way and was told by his doctors not to even walk around his house. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7506347/ https://www.diagnosticimaging.com/view/cardiac-mri-reveals-myocarditis-in-competitive-athletes-recovered-from-covid-19 -
The Bills Aren't a Top-Tier Team Yet
BullBuchanan replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If there are that many teams in your elite tier, then it isn't elite. Right now, it's Pitt, KC, Saints in Tier 1. The Bills are somewhere in a Tier 2 or 3 that includes those teams and adds the Ravens and Browns -
SONOYTA, SONORA, MEXICO (3TV/CBS 5) - The steel posts, some filled with concrete, are a familiar sight to anyone who has walked along Arizona's border with Mexico. They are used to build border fencing. But on the dusty streets of Sonoyta, Sonora, these posts are not on the border anymore - they are for sale in scrap yards. Steel posts sit on the Mexico side of the border. The boundary marker in the distance signifies the international border. The posts in the foreground were clearly placed south of the border. Morgan Loew How the stacks of steel posts, which were originally paid for with US tax dollars, ended up on the market in Mexico is now the subject of an inquiry by US Customs and Border Protection into the actions of the contractors who are erecting the latest stretches of fencing along the US border with Mexico. https://www.azfamily.com/news/investigations/cbs_5_investigates/contractors-scrap-dealers-selling-border-fence-steel-in-arizona-and-mexico/article_802b26e8-02ab-11eb-b839-07e50c671f89.html They're already selling off the parts

Where is the republican health care proposal? It doesn't exist right?
-
They absolutely did not, in either case. The only goal, and thus only achievement of the republican party is the destruction of things built by Democrats. As someone that's not a Democrat, and did not vote for Obama, it was insane to watch it all take place. They took credit for his administration's achievements when they wanted to and dismantled what they didn't. There's absolutely no need for the republicans to do anything on healthcare as, again, they have no interest in improving it - only in making it abject worse. In my lifetime, the Republican party has not made anything better for the working/middle class and they've never even proposed a policy that would actually do so. The best they've been able to muster is a $1200 one time tax credit in exchange for trillions of dollars in tax reduction for their corporate criminal friends. At the end of the day, all that does is screw the middle/working class.

In support of literal destruction of the environment, historically unqualified appointments, an economic and national health nightmare, fitting as many kids in cages as possible, forced hysterectomies of asylum seekers, and violence and kidnapping against civil rights protestors? Pray tell, how exactly should they have been working with this? They did the only thing they could/should have done, which is stall.

That's ridiculous. We already tried this experiment in 2014. Republicans did nothing but obstruct and tear down for the last 6 years and no one held them accountable for it this year. The worst of them coasted to reelection the last two years. I would much rather force all of the republicans out and then expose who in the Democratic party is actually a Republican with a blue tie. A balance between center-right and alt-right is not what this country needs. All want handouts for the top 0.1% and half of them want open civil war on the rest.

Hardly. We've been over this again and again. America is a very nonintegrated county. You have vast swaths of the landmass of this country filled with nothing but white people and cows. There's a really strong chance that many of these people never met or saw a black person that wasn't on television and probably never met a latino that wasn't performing migrant labor. I grew up in a place like this and traveled all across the country working in other places just like it. These places are all politically aligned to be republican and they support policies that openly harm minorities. Cities are where some measure of diversity exists, but even then it's often not well integrated, with minorities often relegated to the lesser parts of cities. Democrats don't do the working class or the poor very many favors either. It really comes down to whether an empty platitude is better than getting kicked in the stomach. I went to college in a STEM field and we had roughly 800 students. Of those, 8 were women and 4 were black. Raising up communities requires a diversity of options. Not everyone is able to turn a wrench and not everyone is able to perform a surgery or code a phone app. When companies say "we don't discriminate based on x,y,z" it may be true, it may be not. What's clear however, is that not enough people are positioned and prepared to take advantage of those opportunities. The cause for that can be traced back to secondary education, which can be traced back to primary education, whose failures can be traced back to policing & legal representation, living conditions and generational poverty. Make no mistake, the USA ***** on poor people of all colors and genders. I grew up around white people who didn't have a person in their family tree that wasn't poor. That's not ok in country that's the richest nation in world history. The biggest difference is they didn't have to battle the extra factors that other people do. I believe that education and economic reform help the most amount of people with the least amount of change needed and that a lot of the social issues we have will sort themselves out by fixing those two things.

It's over: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/7331957-Judge-Brann-Decision.html In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens. That has not happened. Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence. In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more. At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Therefore, I grant Defendants’ motions and dismiss Plaintiffs’ action with prejudice.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
BullBuchanan replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Over the top? The only thing that's changed with regard to COVID is the population's numbness to it. We're entering a period now where infections and deaths are going to surpass the highest they've ever been. You know that thing that everyone was worried about in January that already happened and was a global catastrophe? Well, it's happening again, and it's likely going to be much worse. The blame for what's happening ultimately lies with the stupid, selfish, and greedy people that inhabit this third world country. Nothing like going bankrupt and dying of a disease we could have mitigated just to own the libs. I get it, Karen is bored. I don't care. Stay the ***** home and let's end this thing instead of dragging it out for another 2+ years. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
BullBuchanan replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
listen ######. Deaths is a variable outside of anyone's control and it's a lagging metric. If you took your graph timestamp a couple weeks ago it would paint a much different story, just as it's extremely likely to a couple weeks from now. Once people get COVID, there's not that much different any given American doctor can do to measurably change the likelihood of death assuming everyone is getting quality care. Trying to assign a victory to slightly less deaths with cases trending on the same moving average is taking credit for variance. -

"A severe flu" that just so happened to kill an extra quarter of a million Americans. Rest assured, if the flu killed 7,8,9,10x as many Americans per year as it currently does, we wouldn't be brushing that off either. -

I mean, it wouldn't be Big Blitz if he didn't completely destroy his own argument. -
"stating completely false information" is going way overboard in the opposite direction. If you read the article, there really isn't much that's "false" there. It includes statements from the parties and a reporting of events. Regardless of that they went and added further context and redactions, as they always do. Integrity is being able to admit when you were wrong and not letting emotions get the best of you. The reason that the NYT is a gold standard of journalism is for those reason among others, including their dedication to research and evidence based approach to writing. The difference between media that caters to the right wing and everybody else is that you'll never see them do that. You'll very rarely even see them say a negative thing about their own team. Fox is doing it lately, but like I mentioned previously, that's probably a gambit. They position themselves, and by extension the people that consume their content, as an "us against the wonder" proposition. I understand that you may feel that other media outlets are biased because of how negatively they report on Republicans. Be assured, they report negatively on Democrats and Independents as well, but I don't think you appreciate how many awful things that Trump, McConnel and the rest of the Republican party do on a regular basis. If you're deep in it, it can be hard to gain perspective, but for those of us that aren't in the MAGA cult, it's been a nonstop horrorshow. Every single day for the last 4 years has been chaos, and I'm just happy that we'll soon get back to normal.
