    Hmmm…so recently I have been thinking very deeply about constitutional law, as I am wont to do after a difficult Bills loss.

     

    Would a constitutional amendment that specifies Supreme Court term limits and roster size be something on which everyone along the political spectrum can agree? If so, how about, say, 13 justices (one for each U.S. circuit court of appeals) for terms of, say, 26 years (chosen, say, every 2 years)? And if the consensus answer is “yes, Kay, that’s actually a very brilliant idea but that is also not entirely surprising given the progenitor of said idea,” then how would such a bipartisan idea come to fruition given the stridently partisan political climate??

     

    Basically, many of my fellow comrades want to pack the courts. Normally I would be against such a thing, but I also don’t want five or six elderly right-wing out-of-touch individuals continuously blocking future domestic economic populist legislation that has amassed the support of ~70+% of the country. So I’m thinking of ways that our dear nation can avoid another Lochner Era crisis because I don’t think it would be good for the stability of our currently fragile democracy. A reversal of Roe v. Wade via yet another Tenth Amendment cop-out may become the dangerous catalyst for such a calamity, and it could easily happen this decade.

     

    Or am I being overly dramatic? I’m still quite upset over the Thirteen Seconds game and am having a tough time processing my emotions. Please forgive me, PPP.

     

    im not sure why justices cant be a elected position that has a equally diverse representation structure. no, not that diversity. in a perfect world justices would be impartial actors that go strictly by the law. in that case "packing" the court would make no difference. that is obviously not true and should be the main issue the public should be concerned with, not how do i get more of my ideology in there to "win" more. the fact the legislative constantly kicks issues over to courts instead of LEGISLATING is a trend people need to recognize as well. stop getting upset with rulings that have more to do with (this person does not have the POWER to do this). start getting upset the person who thought they did or worse, did not care.

     

    a term limit? i dont think that would change much. the party in power will probably throw a nice retirement party and push the judge out the door if a term was anywhere close to ending so they can freshen up "their" judge for another full term. pretty much what's happening. i think this will be the new trend from here on out either way so expect the "teams" to stay the same for a very long time unless something unseen happens to a judge. i do agree having a life long term,  people ruling on important issues that have long past anything from their life experience has always been a horrable concept but people love it when looking at our past and current presidents. 

     

    why do people keep advocating their party subvert the system to gain more power? ending fillabusters, packing courts, ect ect ect. the approval rating for this administration is in the 30%. most people don't want these changes but dems keep pushing on ahead regardless. its pretty troubling how close we are getting to a political party enacting changes that will lead to a 1 party rule. this uncompromising trust that their gov cares about them and will continue to even when they don't need them anymore or have to work with anyone with different viewpoints has made history books pretty thick with the most horrific things humans have done to each other. every one starts with the gov ensuring it is for the best. i certainly hope if the R's get power they dont try a tit for tat strategy and instead enact laws that stop this nonsense from ever taking place again. changes need to happen that stops parties from simply blocking the other side and using suffering as a political tool but those changes should require them to be FORCED to compromise, not ignored.

     

    i guess the answer on the court would be find representatives from the major parties and have them select judges they can primary. say 5 repub 5 dems and there can be no hung juries in the judgments they make. so there has to be compromises or at least 1 judge who looks at the case differently. it would be really nice if more parties would finally get some power to add to this concept, libertarians, green party..whoever so the tie breakers would already be ingrained in a less polar structure and clear up all these 1 party power plays on their own.

    All I want is for the next OC to find a consistent identity and stick with what works on a game to game basis. Don't change things up just for the sake of changing things up. My biggest problem with Daboll last year is that he found the offense's identity at least three separate times, and inexplicably lost it again the following week. Then there was the Chiefs game where everyone watching knew that Allen was in the zone and Daboll still took it out of his hands on two critical 3rd downs in a game where we had no room for error on offense. Everyone talks about the last 13 seconds but those two wasted drives were just as responsible for the loss. When the next OC calls plays on critical drives in critical games I want to feel like there's a good reason behind it, instead of feeling like the play call was pulled out of a hat.

     

     

    are you sure about that? it seemed to me most run plays we run are RPOs out of shotgun. if motor got the ball then it was josh making that option alot of the time but im not sure if the specific plays were

     

    im really shocked by the amount of people downvoting balance/running. huh? when is having a good rush attack scheme that is more dependable a bad thing? i understand josh is great but the offense is ALWAYS square on his shoulders. 

     

    giving the guy a break. opening up routes because they have to load the box. less wear and tear/ injury prevention and play action the D have to respect. keep opposition on the bench/end games...all make josh and every other qb in the league better.

     

    a improved effective rushing scheme is my answer all day long.

  3. not sure how the nfl can.  stop the billionaire owners from simply saying hey sign for less and heres a few checks for the rest from some of my "friends". alot of players want big city teams for the endorsement possibilities. 

     

    whats the difference really and whos watching the books that close cause thats what i think kraft was doing with brady "taking less".

    Your 2022 Leftists ladies and gentlemen!

     

    guess its time to get a spotify sub. this has been a sustained attack for a very long time. pretty obvious the powers that be are getting really desperate to get back control of the narrative when 1 on 1 conversations with a pothead comedian are THIS threatening. he better realize how serious this is because the next move is "accusations". he's decimating corporate medias ratings and its obvious the public is very aware of what's happening. but im sure the heads at spotify are taking calls from very important people perfectly fine to buy out that contract, to keep us all safe.

     

    next up bill mahr.  who i showed earlier in the thread. uh oh. is the damn starting to crack so fast they cant shove their fingers in?

     

     

    bill, unfortunately you been showing signs of having principals last 2 shows. a conversation about how dangerous a biased ACLU is? ANOTHER talk about how the covid restrictions are ridiculous? yikes! sorry but you are now right wing nut and dangerous. get ready for the full smear campaign cause this kind of misinformation causes trauma. but listen to that liberal california crowd cheer..hmm.

     

    hopefully the dominoes will keep falling. the voice is getting louder and the sheep will silently pretend they were on this side all along. i can almost hear the sound of usernames being changed lol. here's to hoping anyways.

    I finally got it. Started feeling feverish yesterday, had a fever of about 101. Felt crappy yesterday afternoon and evening, took some Tylenol. Woke up this morning feeling better, no fever. Got a few sniffles and a bit of a cough that’s it. Guessing I feel back close to 100% tomorrow. I’ve definitely had “longer” battles with non covid related sickness.
     

    Continuing these stupid measures that do absolutely nothing is madness. Vaccinate / boost the vulnerable and eliminate everything else. If you get sick, stay home till you feel better. Ya know, kind of the way we approach other infectious respiratory diseases. 

     

    this should have been the response when "anti vax" states showed no measurable negative differences from mandate states. 

     

    it had graphs and everything! 

     

    id get them but we need to keep this thread on the rails. 🤣

     

  6. did you know that not smoking causes less lung cancer. if you see a smoker lets take his job and lock them in the house cause you care about his safety. even better lets go to mcdonalds and just beat the crap out of everyone who doesn't have a salad in front of them, for their well being. its time these personal decisions that may lead to increased death end! we got alot of work to do.

     

    if you need graphs let me know.

    Many have stooped to the other sides level, meaning the lowest of the right.  This board in ppp is all about "see how dumb your side is" and gotchas.  Most of the left is not the Twitter loving offended by everything tool bags.  The right is equally guilty.

     

    yeah but the "Twitter loving offended by everything tool bags." segment is the loudest and thus getting alot of attention and actually changing society for the worst. why? because they are being given the approval of morality by the media. "MOST"  if thats true leftists then seem content to be silent about it all. hey if women are pushed aside its "inclusive". ids arent racist but hell ill go along with it because saying that means im a trumper. antivaxer. misinformation, cancellation..ect ect so ill stay nice and quiet and let the "tool bags" run the joint until im dodging  homeless encampments with no idea how to ever address it. allowing widespread looting to flood my city. listening to giant pharma corporations and getting people fired AGAINST federal laws. wouldn't want to come off as not tolerant. ANYTHING just so not to be associated with  "them". bill mahr, what i would consider a traditional leftist with a unshakable bias and Weis a left journalist who left the NY times based on activist TAKEOVER of journalism. they are way late to the party, saying things that should be common sense by now. two years of evidence later. 

     

     

    you think this view isnt getting blasted for...misinformation with ongoing baseless emotionally driven parroting? 

     

    i guess you can say the right equivalent is Qanon? any mainstream shows talking about eating babies? the right crazies are acknowledged by the right as crazy. they are laughed at and given 0 cultural power. i see a ton of people on here acknowledging they never liked trump! not so much biden..hes doin great. fox the singular main network that gives opposition. thats it. so what exactly is unique about red states that isnt against mandate even come close to the left states? seem mostly the same. they have no sig difference in covid so thats all gaslighting. other then that the only insane thing may be the abortion laws presented. 

     

    these things are not close to equal friend. i think the lefts side is much larger then you'd like to acknowledge in that regard.

  8. as someone who grew up democrat, in a solid blue city id offer my services as a devils advocate to directly debate topics without steering directly to trump whatabouts but this s#it has gone off the rails to even try. and i do. i try to look at things from both sides its just impossable at this point.

     

    anyone arguing from a place of segregation good. authoritarianism. more please. identity politics. great! killing others speach. terrific!  government working in tadem with huge global monopolies. awesome!

     

    they never held liberal beliefs to begin with.  you don't switch 180 degrees on this many topics this quickly. ethics just sway in the breeze. they are told what to stand for and never question it. pretty hard to have a honest debate about something that you don't truley believe in. the overwhelming amount of media that tells them they are virtuous if they take a particular stance and evil if they don't will always just flow with precieved consensus and not anything they value enough to defend on its own merits. 

     

    if your interested i can argue some old stances. occupy wall street for example. i see alot of similarities between where that was coming from and never understood the republican stance against it. i see alot of similarities where now the right is fighting that fight today and now the left opposes it.

  9. this one is raw..because we lost with ineptitude. not players. not specifically game plan. strictly because of  horrendous decisions in understanding the teams position in the game and i dont think its the first time. losing because of a coaching decision is the worst feeling.

     

    everyone wants to find who to blame and take it out on and I'm not really sure any of them are right or wrong. 

     

    one thing i know is the team from every interview they make love the culture our coaches have built. players WANT to play here and for each other..changing that will destroy this franchise. McDermott built that so i will not advocate his firing flaws and all until the team quits on the field.

     

    frazier? yes seems most likely the guy that doesn't understand the situation is to not play a ridiculously soft D as if the chiefs had no TO and needed a TD. 

     

    but how many times this season has the O hit absolute slumps somtimes entire halves or games and the D was the only thing holding it together? did our D lose the steelers game? the jaguars game? the patriots game? 

     

    im just not seeing any solutions. the coaches have to be better. its hard enough to win and fighting against horrable coaching decisions is somthing championship teams rarely have to worry about. some calls such as the kick type can be hindsight. that prevent called was not even debatable.  the coaches are the ones who lost us that game.

    But your missing the point which is as long as you got money it apparently doesn't matter what you do or who you do it to you can get off scott free and especially if your a rich politician !! 

     

    And that in and of it self should tell us all something about politics in America but we would rather argue amongst our selves & not see the entire picture which is the over all plan ! 

     

    SUCCESS !! 

     

    i agree! just messing with the guy who always trolls every thread into trump..and then claim how OTHERS are obsessed with him.  

     

    on topic, at least there seems a real effort with some or should say, ONE of the blatant corruptions. seems there is a real chance that something gets passed to stop politicians from trading on the stock market!!? obvious sh/÷ like this needs to be hit hard and fast as our country is disintegrating and anger and attention is at all time high yet....judgments have been passed to allow foriegn money in campaigns. simple resignations are the only response to deep rooted criminal activity and people accept it as a win. same way companies get "fined" for breaking the law. no indictments. no names of those responsible. if you look into it the "fine" it is a drop in the bucket from what they profited from doing it. it isnt even clear alot of the time on who or what gets the money from the fine?! any of these peoples families see this so why would they even consider that their are reprocussions? their entire life has shown there are no rules for their families so where would they even learn it?

     

    nepotism, corruption and a different set of laws for the powerful, selling off our future to the highest bidder. it goes on and on. if there is some great reset taking place and we want to (build back better) people need to demand that the way the elites spit in our faces and walk away without reprocussions stops. like you said we are tribal species so getting a unified front seems to never be possible around anything! even when its blatant it boils down to comparing corruption with whatabouts to see who side is the MOST corrupt.

    To make these types of determinations one must review data much deeper than superficially and politically. 

     

    i doubt this will get a response but ill try anyways 

     

    what determinations specifically are you speaking of? i gave several examples in the first paragraph of things that are happening in this country that would make anyone who look into them objectively, not only question but unify in demanding answers to.

    But frankly, any citizen of any country who dislikes their fellow citizens so much as to refuse to try and help people stay safe by simply distancing or wearing a mask is a poor excuse for a neighbor, or citizen. 

     

    im not sure where i advocated that distancing or wearing a mask is the wrong thing for someone to do? im vaxed and wear a mask best i can. I'm talking about the villianizing. for someone talking about not using determinations superficially you sure were quick with this.

     

    i think the main point of my statement is the contradicting narrative that state vaccines are (safe and effective)! preached repeatedly. but i have so little faith in them that i am terrified of people constantly risking "my safety". so confident that i must force others to take it applauding the constant and increasing threats by the gov! REGARDLESS of religious or medical exemption, i dont care! i demand no large scale studies of natural immunity. if you caught it and survived your STILL considered a threat to me. if you safely worked without it as a "hero" your still a threat to me. child..threat! i dont even require those words to be backed up by demanding people should have the right to sue the big pharma if adverse affects happen. the age of cowards.

     

    talk about disliking fellow citizens!? if somone is not distancing or masking you can avoid the situation and leave if uncomfortable. no one is threatening to take your job away. there is a comparison here!????????

    Call people idiots if you will, talk conspiracy about labs and China, make up stories of holding children down, but do not leave out the footnote of 850,000 deaths ( twice as many as ww2, only 58,000 in Vietnam and 7000 in 20 years in Afghanistan), and millions more around the world. 

    Whether you vaccinate or not, your choice since you likely didn't get any of the other childhood vaccines, but respect your fellow citizens. 

     

    the idiot comment was based on the article showing that people are sliding more into some self righteous authoritarianism wishing to ramp up threats and acting self righteous in doing so. you don't have to mention the death count as if it somehow solidifies a argument you never really made.

     

    if you are at all suggesting non mask vaxers i can again point to the numbers in two distinctly different states. florida and new york. one gave their citizens the means to protect themselves and make their own choice. the other forced it.  WHILE ALSO crushing many of its small buisnesses in lockdown, seeing mass exodus out of and again key word thats been repeated again and again [FORCED] covid + patients into elderly homes for no logical reason killing thousands.

     

    numbers are still similar despite the desperate narratives. you would think that would be celebrated for perserving peoples rights.

     

    guess which one is being villafied daily in the media.  which one recieved praise, awards, and book deals and is continuing with the mandates regardless of all this data regardless. 

     

    this is IGNORED.

     

    finally, lab leak..conspiracy!? 2 years and the world of knowledge at your fingertips. this was exactly what i was talking about. still waiting on the animal this came from. 🙄

    The problem isn't Omicron 

     

    people will look back at this and define it the age of cowards. 

     

    you have places with high vaccination rates still exploding with omicron and they cant put 2 and 2 together. states with and without authoritarian mandates with negligable differences long after being repeatedly told they were dooming their population...not even a bit curiosity on why they are still being demonized. polls that show minorities are some of the people that are at a high percentage of being unvaxed, still compared all to evil trumpers. glossed over to not damage that bright virtue signal they bask in. publicly flip flopping directions and "facts"  announced by people who are just coincidentally involved with the lab,  gaining political power, and constantly caught defying the very rules they mandate. anyone who is not in these positions are giving "misinformation" and must be stopped immediately...even as a bit of time shows they were right. 

     

    all this with 2 full years to do basic research with a world of information at their fingertips and they come to the conclusion that we should really escalate more.

     

    the future will have great stories for these idiots to tell their grandchildren. bravely yelling at the enemies walking in the park who was not abiding by the mask laws. applauding the removal of children so they can be held down and injected against their will from a virus that was no danger to them. protecting society by calling the police on their neighbors for suspicion of being a spreader. grandpa saved the world. at least it will be a good way to kill time with the family while waiting in the breadlines.

    two words

     

    tree stand.

     

    one side is more inclined and loves nothing more then sitting in them all day, in the freezing cold, with camouflage, waiting silently for any movement, mastering multiple different weopon types

     

    i wouldn't want anything to do with a huge group of individuals that do this as a hobby when it comes to violence. yet everyday im hearing the news call them racist pieces of s#[÷ when they are simply trying to get a few venison sausages on the weekend.

     

    not a good idea if you ask me.

     

    id suggest everyone stop broad stroke stereotyping each other simply by how they vote. people are alittle more complex then racists and commies. continuosly comparing them to the worst of each side is a habit that needs to end, one way or the other.

     

    if the people your getting your info from are doing this regularly your attention is advocating this. turn it off, go outside and have a real conversation.

    I am actually wondering if anyone can defend the vaccine mandate now that we know for a fact that the vaccine does not stop the spread at all? Especially with children? What DC is doing is immoral.

     

    of coarse they won't. it would be a admittance. the government and all the people they believed this whole time are still spouting the need for the same segragation and authoritarianism. if they come to the understanding that the vaccine does not stop omicron. read into how less deadly omicron varient is regardless. listened to the many scientist that predicted this trajectory of the virus as this is how viruses evolve, they might come to the conclusion we ALL will catch this eventually. 

     

    if they look in the mirror and realize this then the enemy they rallied against ( the filthy unvaxed who need to be removed from society) no longer exist. whos left to blame? it may lead some to wonder if this enemy ever did. so why are they still being told they exist? by the same "experts" "trusted media sources" and of coarse government officials that have been looking out for their best interest the whole time. what else were they being lied to about and what else did they advocate for based on this information? 

     

    no, they will stay the course and not shatter that virtuous self image they have constructed. as people catch it regardless of vax status or not and herd immunity is achieved. the numbers will go down. at this point they will declare that thankfully for them and the great leadership provided society is finally turning the corner in spite of "the others". awards will be given and a new standards of living will be set because its the only way to keep the virus at bay. you dont want to be the cause of a resurgence...do you? you dont want to go back to 2020, so do as your told.

    before the election even took place buildings were being boarded up around the country to prepare for the reaction if someone lost. national guard was preparing to defend against rioting.

    i get it. it was the democrats. if innocent people and buildings are the target of riots its just a tuesday. if the left declares there should be no concessions, never happened. not a buildup for a revolution, in those instances. because they won. but if in 2024 we still live in a lockdown authoritarian state like blitz is saying you are seriously suggesting to be on the opposite side of those that demand freedom regardless who is leading the call? yikes.
