Everyone here should be upset at Trump floating the idea of delaying the election, which is set in the statutes as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November." And this is a very bad indicator of what's to come in the next couple months. You're a hypocrite if you're in this forum constantly touting the Constitution and what it is to be American, you damn well should be feeling uneasy at this insane proposal by our President.

How does that explain Gurley at 51?

This list is just bizarre this year. It's actually all over the map. Lamar Jackson is #1, which makes some sense if you're talking only 2019... but... Todd Gurley is #51. Todd Gurley was NOT GOOD last year. 857 yards rushing at 3.8 YPA? Hell Devin Singletary had 775 yards at 5.1 YPA and he didn't crack the top 100. And then there's Josh at #87, which seems to me like a year too early for him to crack into the top 100. I guess maybe because it's the players voting they're looking at things like how much they have to prepare for that other guy and how competitive he is. But as far as production I don't see how he made it in 2019.

NYC is by far the most densely populated city in our country. That combined with European visitors bringing Covid through the back door of the East Coast while everyone had their eyes on China is the reason for the explosion of deaths and cases in NYC and surrounding areas in that first month or 2. But there's no denying that what Cuomo has done in NY since that initial outbreak has been some of the best leadership we've seen in this country since the Pandemic began... probably longer.

@leh-nerd skin-erd... I didn't stay home. We've conversed long enough on here for you to know that I voted then and will be voting again and in the post you responded to I was talking about many other voters--not myself--who stayed home or voted for a 3rd party candidate. I'm sorry for that time you wasted creating that colorful word salad, but you knew better.

A scumbag? Good call Lamar.

I honestly don't know how you can believe it can get any uglier than Trump's Presidency. We hold our nose and pull the lever because we know that if we don't and the vast majority of the country that feels as we do doesn't, we're drowning in the sheer and utter shitstorm that would be 4 more years of Donald Trump. Calling people hypocrites because they vote for a lesser of 2 evils because the worse evil is soooooooo much worse is naive. I'm not throwing away my vote or staying home in November. That's how Donald Trump got into office in the first place. We need to dig ourselves out of this pool of crap. Crucify us for being hypocrites, but we're just cognizant of the reality of Presidential elections. Fool us once. Shame on you Fool us twice. Shame on us. We won't be fooled again. I'm more disturbed by the true believers like yourself who are going to go out and cast a vote for Donald Trump REALLY believing he's good for our country. Notice she is no longer making the media rounds with those claims? I wonder why...

Are you having a conversation with yourself? Is this supposed to be a direct response to what I said? Or are you talking to the voices in your head? That month off did a number on you. Yes to your last statement. The next few months will continue to get worse as we have an utterly incompetent President and people like you double, triple, and quadruple down on your loyalty to him. But then he'll lose in November and it will get better. So that is quite accurate.

Have you looked around? We're in deep ***** right now thanks to our current President. Biden, at the very least will pull us into the shallow end of the ***** pool. That's how low Donald Trump set the bar for the next President.

Uh. You should ask all your pals the same question. @Deranged Rhino thinks the same thing--he's a moron thinking this, but he thinks it nonetheless--in terms of Trump winning. Heck most seem pretty damn entrenched on their sides actually. I hear the same confidence brimming from the likes of @Buffalo_Gal, @Foxx, @leh-nerd skin-erd and others, so why make a statement like this? Of course, Biden is winning and anyone believing Trump is a shoe-in at this point--which the 4 previous posters have stated in this forum, and of course they should correct me if they've now changed their minds--is absolutely foolish. If you were a better in Vegas, ALL the smart money is on Biden, who probably has nearly 70% odds to win at this point.

How is it that more of the regulars in PPP aren't here crucifying the OP for a ***** ridiculous thread? Because you can goddamn well bet they would if someone here started a thread like "Is Donald Trump responsible for all protest violence?" Someone starts that thread, suddenly all the Trump lovin trolls come out in defense of their beloved leader with any number of one-line mindless zingers. But a friggin stupidly ridiculous thread like this that's probably something Donald Trump is going to be supporting himself next year when he's out of office...

Drinkin a glass of Cragganmore12 in my day-after-a-hurricane-misses-us celebration. I got this from my father in law for my birthday and I'm surprised how much I like it because there's actually a good amount of the band-aid character I associate with Lagavulin, but just a little lighter. Drinking this bottle actually makes me want to retry Lagavulin 16.

Who?

Your claim was that he won't be the chief executive and will outsource decisions. That's what you claimed was unamerican and I asked you for a link to exactly what he said. I even referenced it in the following sentences after I make my request. You're all over the map. Your forced vacation made you rusty. I'm not the President, but it's notable that you're acknowledging that Trump views Congressional Democrats as enemies.

Is Biden hiding? Who chose to show up publicly and pay his respects to the first Black lawmaker to lie in State in American history? Donald Trump chose to hide in the White House, while Oh and another thing. Please link the exact remarks that you think are "unamerican." Is there really a moment where Biden says that decisions don't actually go through him? Elected officials have ALWAYS relied on unelected experts/officials that they ultimately choose in order to determine policy. But the policy still goes through that elected official. That's the way a Republic is supposed to work. Yep. He's a helluva lot better than the dingleberry we currently have in office. Uh. Yeah. I just said that. I said that because I knew you'd be doubling and tripling down and trying to convince you of reality is about as useful as banging your head against the wall to try to get rid of a headache. So yeah, these 90 days will be frustrating for that reason. But after those 90 days will be sweet sweet relief and I'll be able to enjoy it even more as I provide you with your brand new awesome avatar.

I'm glad you're back. The next few months will be frustrating for me because you don't just double down and roll snake eyes you keep on going as you bet your own mortgage along with your parents' retirement. Biden and the campaign are doing the smartest thing ANY campaign could possibly do at this point: Stay out of the spotlight and let the incumbent destroy himself. You're inevitability going to come back with some ridiculous retort arguing "No chance Joe" has... well... no chance--gee, you're so darn clever--which is why the next few months will be so frustrating. Because I really, truly and honestly wish you would just see the light already. But in the end, the avatar I give you will be enough for awhile. Either that or he saw what a disaster Trump was and understood reality: Mission accomplished You're so weird. Is this the kind of stuff you watch all day? So this really is you then?

Wait. They honestly put Josh Allen in the top 100? As one of the biggest Allen homers here I gotta say I'm a bit surprised. But it's players voting. That tells you they look at him as a tough out, that's for sure.

There. Was admitting that your initial statement--which is what began this entire meandering discussion in the first place--was wrong really that difficult? This is a rather indirect way of admitting it, but I know it was difficult so I accept it. At times it felt like pulling teeth, but I'm proud of you for finally making that admission

You love your logical fallacies, especially onfuscation. You said red areas are "doing great at limiting Covid." Those few areas I point to have more deaths that 189 countries. And that's just a fraction of the red areas in our country. You were wrong. Just admit it. Then we can move on to the separate conversation your trying to have as you continue to deflect, because like I said, you love your logical fallacies.

Yeah, because just over 86,000 cases and 6,000 deaths in those 2 countries combined vs over 4.2 million cases and 148,000 deaths are even remotely comparable, idiot

@Buffalo Timmy is STILL running away from his initial claim that the Republicans "are doing great at limiting Covid." Those were literally your words. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/16/816707182/map-tracking-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-in-the-u-s North Dakota, Mississippi, Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky are the 5 states with the highest percentage increases in Covid cases in the last 2 weeks. Want to claim that it's all the Republican counties that "are doing great at limiting Covid?" Orange County is a traditionally very red county in California. They have 556 deaths. That's great? Tarrant County in Texas is also a very red county. They have 329 deaths. That's great? Can you honestly find anything other than red areas in Mississippi? They have 1,463 deaths. Alabama has 1,438 deaths. That's great? In Georgia Cobb, Gwinnett and Dougherty Counties combine for 655 deaths. It's notable that Dougherty's population is only about 100,000 people and they have 160 deaths. That's great? By the way, Hawai'i, maybe the most blue state in the country, has over 1.4 million people and 26 deaths, by contrast of Dougherty county. Your stubbornness is getting the better of you. Those handful of areas I just mentioned would fall at 26th in the entire world just ahead of Iraq at limiting Covid. That's just a small handful of deaths in Republican areas. Number keeps going up with every single one added and that's a fraction from the country. What we see from these areas you gloat about are far from great. If you want to keep making this argument. Prove it. Right now the Republican areas of the country are 26th worst in the world if they were combined as a country. If you believe I cherry picked, compile the numbers for all the Republican areas vs all the Democratic areas. I will bet you a billion dollars that once you add it all up, those Republican areas added up end up higher than the 26th they are now. And at that point, out of 215 countries being tracked, are you honestly going to continue your laughable argument that Republicans are doing great at managing Covid? If so... oy... I know you don't teach science or math

What you and your pals here are missing is that telling a student they asked a dumb question is more difficult than it is to not do it. If you think I just throw that statement out there gratuitously, you're sorely mistaken. I spend a great deal of time building an honest relationship with the students in the classroom. Once I have that, I can tell them it's a dumb question. I don't feel the necessity to defend my own pedagogy at this point. I don't spend hundreds and thousands of words critiquing you at your job or @Chef Jim at his. I'm very, very comfortable in my teaching ability. I love the job more and more every year and keep getting better in the classroom. I will guess you'll take this statement personally even though it's not my intention, but you really don't have any business telling a teacher how he/she should run his/her classroom as long as that teacher isn't doing or saying anything outrageous if the product coming out of the classroom is smarter and more disciplined. Nothing I do or say in the classroom is even approaching outrageous. Stay out of the classroom and away from kids. It's the best place for them.

And I find being clear works with detailed elaboration when necessary. You love desperately moving goalposts. It's probably because you're desperate to be right. There are more deaths and cases overall in liberal areas because more densely populated areas--aka cities--are traditionally blue. When you live in a rural area where you're a mile away from your nearest neighbor, that's surely a place where the TOTAL number of cases and deaths will be less. But as another poster stated, the virus doesn't discriminate and is hitting those densely populated red areas just like the blue ones. Find your more densely populated cities that vote Republican (I know, there aren't nearly as many) and you'll find Covid problems. Again, your very premise that red areas have leaders or citizens doing a "great job" on their own separate from the circumstances of their geography is simply incorrect.

I let them know they're asking a stupid question, for one reason or another. If you think people shouldn't be informed when they're saying something stupid despite knowing better, you must be a lazy manager. You mean where you immediately ignored my challenge of not making a personal attack by beginning with one? Yeah. Great job with that. You might know something about managing adults. You know very little of teaching kids... or kids in general, for that matter. Yet, your choice very oddly is to define what the profession should look like. You clearly NEVER interact with kids. That kid isn't the one asking for clarification. That kid is the one who wasn't paying attention or was sleeping or daydreaming or... That's the kid I described before. The fact that you didn't actually get that tells me you've spent little to no time with teenagers. And I pity the student who gets a teacher like you who clearly has no business teaching kids because he clearly hasn't the foggiest idea of who they are. You're right. Stay away from kids.
