Im not sure why so many of your posts have to be a doctoral thesis, but since you point out failures at the state level with the flood alert, do you have that same smoke for Gavin Newsom and his handling of fire prone areas in California? Just curious.

Yea.. there are some Food Lions in the Carolinas. Dont think I’ve seen any in Georgia though. Publix, Ingles, Kroger (Georgia) and Food Lion (Carolinas) is mainly what I come across with Harris Teeter’s and Aldi’s starting to pop up a good bit.

I don’t like or dislike the tariffs.. it feels kind of haphazard to me at the moment, but we’re told it’s a tax on us and this and that… Maybe Tops should stop gaslighting you because gas is definitely down and we don’t have any price hikes down here at Publix.

Say what you will, but any other administration would have just breezed past the Epstein stuff as if it never existed. Some may view it as chaos, but it’s better than the status quo.

This is an interesting point. He played his college ball down south. Now in as perfect weather environment as possible in LA. Id say Ladd has overlap with Shakir but so does Keon if his power slot advocates are correct. Really comes down to Ladd vs Worthy vs Keon vs Legette. I think we’ll have a much clearer picture of this after the upcoming season. Its just hard to see the vision for him given we have a QB who likes to see separation before he throws it and Keon’s game will likely never really be that.

He didn’t say it was illegal. He said they’re using illegal immigrants, of which 8 were unaccompanied children who were trafficked into this country. Americans won’t bat an eye at the first part.. as you mention, it happens all over the place. They will, however, turn into border hawks when Democrats attack this Administration for going into a facility using trafficked children. Can we just admit this is pretty bad.. and the protesters/Newsom severely messed up by making it - now - a national story? As someone who holds the beliefs you do, this was a major misstep by Newsom for advancing your ideology wishes.

The Democrat case for child trafficking.

I honestly don’t know how to read polling on the deportation stuff. Newsom sure as hell didn’t help the cause by feeling the need to defend a marijuana facility harboring illegal immigrants and unaccompanied trafficked minors that has a history of workplace safety violations. Up to this point, Dems have been successfully using the media to blue pill the Joe Rogan’s of the world on this topic, but this highlights that a lot of these stories aren’t actually what they seem .. and Newsom decided to blow the lid of a pretty bad one. Also recent polling by well respected outlets still show 50-48 in favor of deporting all illegal immigrants. Thats probably accurate with the battle being waged for the middle 20% that feel bad for the hard working farmhand or store clerk but then also become border hawks when they see this Gavin Newsom blunder or a Laken Riley occurs.

Thats all well and good, but Dems have to deal with reality and Pete is going to have to do some seriously heavy lifting to (not just win back some white men) but more importantly find a way to not be polling in the single digits with black folks. If he gets smoked in the South Carolina Primary with the Dem electorate heavy black, it’s probably a wrap.

I don’t think Buttigieg has much of a chance tbh. I think he’s incredibly smart, articulate and a heck of a debater. I don’t agree with a ton of what he stands for, but I can respect that he goes on Fox and comes out with viral clips where he owned the interviewer. Unfortunately for him, he’s gay with a husband that most men view as a punchline. Id vote for a gay guy, but im just speaking in pure reality. Chasten and him riding around bikes together, taking maternity leave for an adopted baby… it’s just not going to work. Furthermore, black people, black men specifically, will not vote for him. His polling numbers with the black community are insanely bad and without 80-90% black support, Dems can’t win.

Newsom is talented, and probably the most equipped of current Dems to deal with the current bro/meme Republican culture, but he can’t be making too many more missteps like this… He’ll already have to defend California to the Rust Belt and Sun Belt - that’s a big enough mountain to climb without stepping on rakes along the way.

They’re getting relentlessly torched from every angle over that cartoon, so clearly they’re using it for clicks. Ghoulish behavior on top of ghoulish behavior from everyone involved at that publication.

Mahomes took a sack that took 3 off the board in the second half and committed the only turnover of the game, but go on…

Lmaooooooo
