Just FTR... those complaining about Lamb's bench press, according to Dane Brugler at The Athletic the average bench press for the top 30 WRs in the NFL is 14.

What kind of moisturizer does he use to get those extra soft hands?? My wife says my hands are too rough. -
Yes. I did. And I still stand by that. (*but read my note below with regard to statements like this*) No. Never said I liked Warren. She and Bernie were ALWAYS my 2 LEAST favorite candidates. You're clearly confused. Yes I did say that about Pete. And I still like him best. *You're the one who likes to speak in absolutes. I have a bet with you that Trump loses regardless of who the Democratic candidate is because that's what I believe will happen, even if Bernie wins the nomination. But if Bernie is the nominee I can freely admit I'm much less confident than I would have been otherwise. Like let's say my confidence will drop from like 80% to 60%... how about that? But yes, I believe Democrats will turn out in droves in November.* Except you are, because I was never CERTAIN it was any individual candidate that would win the nominee, though I felt Biden was most likely. You're spinning a narrative that I think in absolutes like you do and I don't. I've ALWAYS thought it very possible Trump could be reelected. I can be very honest that Bernie as a candidate makes me uneasy while also thinking he will win... but understand that last phrase for me in any context is never an absolute when it comes to the future. Soothsayer I don't proclaim to be, even though I have my own thoughts--sometimes strong thoughts--of outcomes. I've honestly forgotten the precise terms of our bet. Was it term length or one year? I'll abide by whichever we agreed to if I lose, as I know you will if you do... I just forget the exact terms. As to the 2nd statement, I guess you thought FDR was a communist and are anti-Social Security.

It is twisting. And again, run for office. You seem like you'd be good at it.

I'm disappointed in you. Rather than using this as an opportunity to somehow enlighten me on the parallels Bernie would have with Stalin or Mao, you instead post this crap. Maybe you should read up yourself. Marx shouldn't be lumped in with Mao or Stalin. Marxism was a vision. Stalin, Mao and others wildly distorted that vision and used its name for their own corrupt purposes of maintaining power. Obviously as all of you spew "he's a communist!" with regard to Bernie, you're referring to previous and current regimes that are nearly universally mislabeled as "Communist regimes" rather than actual Marxism. The thing is, while there might be an ideological alignment with true Marxism (which actually isn't evil the way some of you portray it), if you actually read up on what Sanders plans, there are many big differences. That's why he's not a communist. He's a Democratic Socialist. Love ya Foxxy... but you crack me up. Just read these 3 posts in sequence

Before the caucuses began there were something like 70,000 early votes. That was already fairly close to 2016 numbers. I wanna say 2008 was something like 117,000 total. I don't know when the final numbers will be posted, but it's pretty safe to assume the early votes combined with yesterday will pretty easily beat yesterday's turnout and will at least rival, if not beat 2008. You really do have no qualms whatsoever twisting narratives... You should run for office!

It's truly sad that your belief is that electing Bernie will lead us down the path of having dogs and machine guns patrolling the streets, food shortages (this is likely coming anyway, not because of Communism), basic hygiene needs (though already here in so many ways), not having private property anymore, Dictators (though we have a guy trying to get there in the White House right now), Censors (Though we have a guy trying his damndest to find ways to implement these right now), etc. Bernie as President does not make us East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia or Venezuela. He's a Democratic Socialist, NOT a communist... they simply aren't the same, ESPECIALLY when put into practice. If you're desperate for comparison then at least use more apt comparisons like Finland, Sweden or Denmark rather than East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. And those better comparisons are consistently some of the happiest countries on the planet.

Saying it is so does not make it so. He's not, but this very argument to inevitability be used in the upcoming months--and already being used--is why Sanders remains my last choice as the nominee.

18-26 year old minimum. And truthfully, older than that, too. The 30 year olds saw Obama elected in a year all the prognostications had Romney winning... remember the sheer and utter shock and disappointment??? And youth voter turnout was lower in 2012 than 2004 by percentage... but Obama won. It wasn't a movement. 2008 was. That was when youth turnout was higher than it had been in 30+ years. New movement. Oust Trump

Boy do you live in a Bizarro world

Exactly. This whole demonization of Bernie is ridiculous. Don't want him. But he will help more than 45 did.

I want you to read what you just wrote. This sounds like you've been swept up in hard right propaganda.

Bernie isn't communism. As much as your insane right leaning media and tweets are about to tell you... Bernie does NOT equal Hitler

Welcome to the battle likely to ensue til November. Just remember... Trump has the backing of the massive monetary weight of the Republican Party behind him... along with Russia... who has obviously been backing Trump... (can't wait for the moron who retorts by saying they're also backing Bernie and can't obviously piece that together) That's why I fear Trump will be reelected and have for 3 plus years. The American people don't want Trump in office because he's a terrible President. But he might get reelected because of a 2nd election of ridiculous circumstances. It's funny. People like @Deranged Rhino keep pointing to things like fundraising while completely glossing over the fact that as you folks are touting Trump's fundraising you're also neglecting the fact that Hillary raised 400 million more than him in 2016. While I don't want Bernie as the nominee, I will vote for him. And Bernie very well would have won in 2016 if he were nominated, anyway. Now, the kids are 4 years older and you have more able to vote. Like it or not, the 18-22 year olds who became eligible to vote since Trump took office in 2016 and the 23-40 year olds (I'm not one of them) will not be complacent this time around assuming their candidate will win... they'll vote...
-
That's just your truth. It's not The Truth. I don't pretend to be enlightened. But I'm also not an idiot. I don't like that Bernie is winning right now... but... Bernie over Trump in 2020 any day of the week... even if Bernie isn't my 1st choice.
-
Regardless of the veracity of every word you say here, I'm pretty sure it's those voters under 40 (I'm 38) who will decide this election. And again. As far as Democratic nominees go, I will go out and stand in the rain for 2 hours to vote against Trump, even if it's my least favorite nominee in Bernie or Warren. Call me young and ignorant. Fine. Maybe you're just old, stubborn and out of touch
-
I disagree. I consider myself a fairly moderate Democrat. Bernie and Warren were in the back of the pack in terms of my Democratic nominee preference. But even if it's Bernie or Warren (and I think it's still waaAAaaayyy too early in the game to say it will be) I will go out to vote against Trump in November and will stand in line for hours to do it if I have to. And I'm not alone:

One "drought era" Bill on today's roster?

Freddy is the obvious and only choice. Position of need. At least a borderline Pro Bowler in his prime. Fantastic complement to the other player at his position. Team leader. Freddy. Period. -

or maybe you've just been in this partisan sounding board for so long that you believe your side of the looking glass is the undeniable Truth. -

Did I say "conspire?" No. No I did not. I said he asked for foreign interference in the election, which he very clearly did. Telling that you are inserting your own narrative into what I said, though. This is certainly bending the truth. But you've all created your own narrative here where that was a joke and no serious person viewed it as anything other than a joke. Yeah... sure... must be true because you guys believe it is. -

Literally posted the first video clip. Don't care what the article says and didn't read it because the clip is what matters. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” If I'm not reading that correctly, how am I supposed to read it? Sure sounds like a candidate asking for foreign interference... If I'm stupid, tell me how a smart person should view those comments... Nice Ad Hominem -
Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
transplantbillsfan replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yep. All that illegal stuff the Democrats did... Thank GOD Trump got an AG who will finally prosecute all those damn dirty Dems! And he will start with Andrew McCa... oh wait... but how many folks in the Trump orbit have served time or are going to jail? Interesting... Keep ignoring the aspects of our economy that Trump basically gets credit for not screwing up as far as economic momentum goes and what he's doing to our national debt thanks to insane military spending and a terrible tax plan. Yay for Trump and reaching that 4, 5 and 6% annual GDP he promised on the campaign trail... oh wait, he hasn't even reached 3% Judging by the posts and posters in here, I bet many of you are largely happy because of your 401Ks that you're currently living off (though even that actually grew at a larger rate under Obama), but a huge percentage of our country doesn't have one of those and isn't getting that benefit. Good job to 45 for not totally screwing up what 44 rebuilt. He sure is trying, though. -

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread

If you want to know why I can honestly say that I do now and have for the last 3+ years worried that Trump would be reelected while not thinking he would, it's because of the fight between my head and my heart whether the American people are stupid enough to reelect him. My confidence wavers because of crap like this: Trump will pretty much do anything within his power (and outside of it, for that matter... as demonstrated by what's been revealed in the last 6 months or so) to get reelected. Like him or not. Corrupt as hell or not. Blatant narcissistic liar or not... He's the most powerful man in the world. That's the reason so many on the left are frightened and worried. It doesn't mean he's going to be reelected, but we can worry about it because the electorate already looked past his own admissions of being a sexual predator and his own well documented bigotry and racism and his own well documented shady business dealings over decades and his own calls to foreign governments to interfere in our election, among other things. I'm a believer the old adage "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" will apply to the American people this time around as they have seen (and this part is simply undeniable) CONSTANT lies coming out of the White House. You seem to dislike lies so much... why do you find Trump's CONSTANT lying acceptable in any way? But once again, I am prepared for a 2nd term of Trump. That's because my bar for America's electorate is lower than it was when the day began on November 8th, 2016.
