I have it on good authority that we are talking him into coming back for the playoffs and Super Bowl. Just gotta hit a trade before the deadline, preferably one that includes McCaffrey!
my authority whispered that we are blowing the dust off the mark kelso helmet and luke knows that will allow him to return to greatness for another ten years without fear of another concussion.
it did not fit mitch morse anyways.

We thinking there’ll be some riots if Byron pulls off the victory?
i live in the city and see alot of signs for byron in front of houses so i dont think so. he got lazy and nobody even knew she was running let alone win. thats on him but they know now.
pretty odd that i havent heard anyone else throwing thier hat in the ring. i mean its not looking to bad for larry elders in a deep blue state. guess the city is so garbage power isnt even attractive.
its 2021 so a mostly peaceful fire may engulf the city in the end but no real signs of that type of tension from what i see.

I don’t think anything I had written above suggests heavy-handed moderation. I also don’t think anyone not involved here would willingly come here to be a moderator.i dont think the original intent is ever that but in a day and age some consider words violence and opposing viewpoints are considered propaganda it can quickly get there with the wrong moderator. its happening all over the place.
just my two cents. im obv not on here enough to see everything that goes on.
best bet imo. 3 libertarians! 👍

i dont really think pulling someone from this section is a good idea. most people have a political bias, whether they admit it or not. I'd think you'd want people that are not really paying attention to politics in general so they are only looking at guideline infractions and not letting anything else make the judgments.
last thing I'd want to see is heavy handed moderation that constantly leans in a direction. smaller boards are the last places where "moderation" isn't used for flat out censorship. the fact this place hasn't followed the trend so far is what makes it different.

i could care less but we as a nation need to come to a consensus here. 9-12 weeks seems long enough imo.
i will say there are issues i think the republicans need to back away from and this is one. pick a reasonable point at which a woman can perform this action and then do what the party states it upholds..individual personal freedom and responsability. it doesnt effect you so if the woman can live with that decision then so be it.
at the same time liberals cannot scream my body my choice stay out of it...but can you help me pay for it? unless in obvious circumstances where the pregnancy was not avoidable and or is life threatening to the mother
its a issue that shows hypocracy from both sides.

You've again jumped to your topic: Attacking CNN for its bias. That's fine and I agree with it. But you're avoiding my topic. This is whataboutism.
i can't recall off hand fox..as i dont watch it much, outright "attacking" trump. are we talking a unified criticism on the network? they do have a show with a co host "juan" who gives counter points to conservatives and repeatedly criticizes everything trump did every single show. this is at least as equivalent or more so to your question imo. he is consistently on to oppose the right. where as cnn can change this newfound criticism you enjoy the next news cycle. they prob already have.
by the way the polls are way down on biden. sure CNN is pulling out of its ratings desire all of a sudden?
does cnn have a equivalent to him? i don't know i don't watch that much either.
the bigger problem is the sheer number of liberally biased channels and outlets that get mainstream airtime. you are comparing THE ONLY right wing "news" station on regular tv to one of many for the other. the opposition to conservative ideas and praise of left is NUMEROUS. thats not even counting social media who also leans heavily left. so when joe does something that is so abhorrent it is impossible to put lipstick which was the withdrawal. they FINALLY say what everyone can clearly see. you want to give credit and suggest they will turn their guns slowly? the fact they were "slow" at all shows the overall problem.
so you say look! they now have a sliver of journalistic integrity WHATABOUT the single conservative channel?
where you give value to the small crack in CNN complete bias, ill more then happily give it to the singular network biased or not, who is willing to give the counterpoints to the onslaught of a single narrative told 100 different ways giving the public a false reassurance that if they all agree. it MUST be true.
i can name at least 20 "news" topics that have been proven false or avoided at all cost in unison BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA and fox being the only one talking about the point that ended up true. that is pretty valuable in my book.
not for me mind you. i prefer non bias in my journalism. for the mainstream to have at least ONE easily found channel that has alternative views, before they get censored and we have that one unified easily controllable voice they are after.
maybe that's off topic for you but my feelings in general on the topic you presented and the state of our media.

but not without putting more American troops at risk due to Trump’s removal.
Its easy go sit there and say it could’ve been planned better,
I wouldn’t put 5k extra American soldiers at risk for that mission. Anyone that still needs to get out can hop on a pay charter flight, etc.
There we’re lots of Afghan/Americans that don’t even know if they want to leave yet because they’re financially tied.
What are we supposed to do? This got ridiculous real quick. America never signed anything that guaranteed every Afghan that wants to leave be brought to safety. That’s nuts! They had 3 months to plan their exit.
i didnt say every Afghan. maybe the ones that worked with us and saved our lives over there who are target #1? yes no maybe? maybe american civilians that where assured by this president the country would not be overrun? maybe OUR weopons that would not be used against innocent people later.
i dunno like i said. we are 75 pages in and your position is "Its easy go sit there and say it could’ve been planned better"
20 years...yes. yes, it could have been planned better.

Well, Trump reduced the troops to like 2k, so the choices are send in 5k more troops and put them in danger when you know ISIS is around, or have the Taliban secure the perimeter at 1 airport and get people out.
It would’ve been much more difficult to secure 2 airports. I understand why they didn’t want to do that.
I mean, they got over 120k people on planes and to safety in 17 days. That’s incredible if you really think about it. That’s 3 MetLife stadiums jammed full of people on planes.
You definitely couldn’t defend against suicide bombers at 2 airports, and I assume that’s why they went with 1.
2k troops kept the taliban at bay all year. your going to pull out you do so responsibly. you don't just evacuate with no plan in place if the country gets overwhelmed. you redeploy until you get civilians and equipment out. destroy the equipment where there is no chance to defend. you CREATE the time required needed to not hand over billions in machinery or have a damn suicide bomber kill our troops and leave civilians trapped.
its called planning and reacting to what is happening. not scrambling as a afterthought to a outcome our "INTELLIGENCE" should have been able to see coming seeing as they were there gathering it for 20 years!

Well, that’s to be expected. Of course every retired military member is going to talk ***** because no one likes to admit 20 years was wasted. Plus, they’re all heavily invested in the war machine. It’s all they know. Ignore the likes of Patreous and others. They’re money grubbing whores who left in disgrace, along with Mike Flynn.
They’re free to give their opinion, but there’s no doubt that it was the right call to end this war.
Theres 20 year olds that don’t even know why this war was started.
Theres also a lot of American corporations that set up shop over there and are leaking their displeasure to the media.
It was a really ballsy move by Joe and I respect it. Lots of people are about to lose a lot of money. Someone had to do it.
how is it your confusing pulling out our troops with abandoning those still there when the taliban was quickly overtaking the country?
how? seriously. do you have no understanding of what this is about this far into the topic?

vetting out members with conservative views as a sign of distrust.

afganistan a complete s show.
just to name a few where our service members are getting spit in their faces. i dont care what side of the isle your on. last year that rediculous "losers and suckers" story that had 24 hr coverage had the people up in arms even though it was quickly proven false. same people defending ALL of this.
partisan is not the word. i think there was alot of discontent BEFORE afganistan. it really is sad to watch where we are. thank you for your service.

aww man of coarse! it all makes sense. the fact you can't read explains why the majority of your posts are cut and paste twitter feeds and memes. the answer was right there the whole time. you learned one 5 letter name and want to feel included. hey look everyone! im politicking!
I'm inclusive so here.

symptom 3).. please refer to symptom 2.
QuoteThe ‘F Your Feelings’ crowd can’t get over themselves and throws a pity party for Trump everyday.
Totally TDS
ETTD
symptom 4) projection onto others. trying to deflect your dilusions WHILE doing exactly what you are accusing others of.
are the, what do you call them "QOP" in the shadows? bushes? around every corner? are they with you now? do they live in your head? don't deny it, read all of your posts! they all include him. over and over. the person who talks about trump the most on this board, hes is in your mirror!!!
my medical advise
first look at a calender.
repeat: the orange man is not president! repeat until it becomes natural.
whenever you do not include trump in a post, reward yourself with a cookie. after awhile the self training will ween you off your addiction.
one day at a time. buy a emotional support dog. just make sure its hair isn't orange..i don't want animal cruelty and your in the beginning stage of recovery.
like i said i haven't blocked you. i will be your sponsor if you need.
we can get through this.

Reading your thoughts, I come away with two distinct impressions. 1. You feel that the delta variant is now being contracted and spread routinely by the vaccinated and 2. That natural infection/immunity would push Covid to mutate to a less deadly form.
Neither is true (at least at this point).
Keeping it simple, WRT 1, just because delta has shown an increase of infection/transmission in the vaccinated doesn't mean it has completely broken down these vaccine-mediated protections. Science can change over time, but at this point the delta surge is very much a surge in the unvaccinated.
WRT 2, viruses infect, replicate, and mutate. The more it circulates, the more it mutates. Immunity, whether induced or natural, reduces circulation. Delta, or any of the other subtypes, did not occur because of vaccination, they occured because of widespread circulation.
There's truth to what you're trying to say about a natural course resulting in some kind of stasis, but what is the cost of allowing this to happen?
In 18 or so months, Covid-2 has proven the ability to overwhelm healthcare systems multiple times with multiple mutated subtypes around the world.
The least harmful/lethal way to any kind of stasis with Covid is mass vaccination coupled with any natural immunity picked up along the way. Kill circulation and thus mutation, then see what is needed to keep it at bay.
on point 2, for the most part i was making a comparison to antibiotics and how over time they are producing bacteria that is becoming more resistant. if you are not completely destroying the virus in a body then you are hosting a viral load that will replicate and anything that replicates will mutate, if one of them is a mutation that circumvents the vaccination defenses then it will become dominate as it can replicate unencumbered by vax defenses. the fact vaccinated DO contract and spread even if its less means the virus will most likely follow this path. im not sure how much the load is reduced or what percentage it would lessen spread but it still happening in places with very high vaccination rates [ Isreal ] so imo yes vaccination are contributing to mutation, not saying they are responsible for delta or any other. butvl common sense says they will and my fear is that they are going to be specific to counter vax defenses which may be unitentionally making them far more deadly since they are mutating to beat artificial defenses instead of natural which i think would mutate to not kill the host. killing the host immediately stops transmission. those artificial mutation types will make them VERY lethal to people who dont have even vax protection. that variant will have a large population that will not die ( vax ) but continue to propagate this resistant strain.
under this reasoning it seems the best coarse of action would be to mandate mandatory vaccination..to get everyone at a min viral load lower chances of spread and complete lockdown to prevent transmission.
good luck getting lockdowns to fly anymore after the overuse of them with little result in the past.
i could be wrong. just trying to be more clear. not a scientist, but its how i understand it with the reasoning i have.
EDIT...unfortunately. delta is seeing exact same load in vax..hopefully it is contained to breakthrough only. so just as much transmission of a varient that has (broken through) vax. 😞

I've always kind of shrugged off the scant possibility of long term serious side effects when it came to something new that could help me because I've never seen it come to fruition. I got lasik surgery as soon as it came out in the late 90's because I hated wearing contacts despite people thinking you'd go blind in a year. Getting the vaccine as a public good wasn't a hard choice for me but I definitely understand the hesitancy as it does seem rushed. It's been over six months now and all you've seen are the typical rare serious side effects of any new drug/vaccine that occur in like five in a million people.
I know this will drive people who post on this subject often nuts but I guarantee as soon as a vaccine is FDA approved for kids under 12 it will be a requirement for entrance in most states for public schools similar to required vaccines to prevent mums, measles, polio, etc...
yeah seems to be the direction of the freight train is barreling but this is different then those others. you can still contract and pass it. the fact covid is still not being stopped means it most likely will continue mutating until it bypasses the vax to become more potent and thus more successful. i really have to wonder what that means in the end. if we are doing more harm then good simply giving it a reason to mutate instead of allowing the natural coarse of a virus to become less deadly by infecting naturally and over time mutating to a less deadly form. killing the host is not good for either. but that means lives are lost hoping that's the outcome. so i understand the route we are on.
welp its a freight train so i guess those decisions are above my pay grade but its not looking like kids can have a normal childhood anytime soon. vax or no vax.

i understand what your saying tactically.
i just think its odd that there are clear signals that people want a difference. alot of them will take anything at this point. maybe im way off but biden plummeting in polls means its not biased anger. it means dems are going independent. they wanted normalcy and solutions and the people and parties cemented are not offering much but the same. still there is no desire for alternate parties to test the water at all? libertarians should be making huge gains at this point in history as minorities clearly want choice with the vaccine, should get good support there. EVERYONE is growing tired of what seems like arbitrary authoritarian overreach at this point. exhausted from the damn culture war embedded in every facet of life.
if im a working parent im picking the candidate regardless of party that will open schools so i can make a living to survive. if im a law abiding citizen i dont want to hear another word about bail reform or "healing" the problem of crime. its skyrocketing and i want my kids safe when they are outside my house ect ect ect. i think most people dont follow politics closely and a decent number of votes are this persons name is different then the one that is causing this CHECK.
if this situation doesnt motivate alternative parties then nothing will. this is the best shot they have.
