So we’re supposed to believe Mauricio Garcia is a neo-Nazi white supremacist?

Josh Allen is 6’5 and looks like Spencer Brown’s son next to him.

Hispanics are far more ideologically aligned with Republicans than Democrats. It’s starting to show in recent years.

I’ll take your random changing of the subject to mean you finally concede defeat in your nonsensical assertion that we should take away semi-automatic handguns from the hands of millions and millions of Americans across the entire political spectrum. Republicans do need to address who their constituency is. It should be focused on: -White men -White married women -Hispanics -Black men -Asian/Indian populations Win white men at the overwhelming clip they currently do. Expand upon their majority clip on married white women. Pull even to, and then eventually win Hispanics. Trends look good for R’s here. Eat away at the Dem lead with black men. See, Brian Kemp vs Stacey Abrams in Georgia as a template. As Dems push ideas such as equity, reparations etc., focus on groups you should be winning, but aren’t due to tribalistic voting patterns. Asians and Indians are successful, education focused groups. They will not take kindly to the erasure of a merit based economy and/or educational system.

Do you have any idea how many independents and moderate Dems… let alone left leaning Dems own semi-automatic handguns? The issue would energize Republicans FAR more than Roe energized Dems, and you’d lose independents and moderate Dems who would not be, at all, interested in turning over the semi-automatic handguns they own to keep their families safe to the government. Please try this… as someone who wants the modern Dem Party to be completely eradicated in its ideology, DO IT.

Go for it. The Democratic Party would cease to exist.

You do realize that the vast majority of gun owners, do in fact, own semi-automatics, correct?

Yes, generically speaking, they do. So what’s your answer? It’s easy to get positive buy in with vague sentiment… much more difficult to make actual substantive change. Theres a reason Dems don’t push “too” hard on gun control … it’s a lot of what you’re doing… vague nonsense… because that polls well. “Do Something!!!” polls well …. Actually taking away law abiding citizens guns… not so much.

Cool. What should we do about it? Try answering without being emotional or with hysterics. And is your preferred side willing to take the political hit of going after gun ownership? It will likely be akin to what Republicans have had to deal with post-Roe.

If these polls stay consistent, Dems may be forced to primary Biden.. ABC has Trump & DeSantis up by 7 nationally over Biden. WaPo, Trump up 6. If a Republican is even up by a point or two nationally, that’s a potential bloodbath electorally.. let alone 6 or 7 points.

Theres some crossover in political affiliation and gun ownership with the rapid increase of gun ownership amongst black folks. However, southern black people are a very different type of Democrat that northern white people nowadays… especially black men. It’s how one of the most conservative, pro-life, pro-2A Governors in the country (Brian Kemp) has a 62% approval rating in Georgia and won over a ton of black men in his recent election. Despite how loud the gun control side is, amplified by the media, all the polling shows it’s a losing political position in America. People are starting to realize the goal of these people is to repeal 2A. Because you are correct…. These people come out and say uneducated things like “we need to ban semi-automatics”, not realizing that normies all over the country own semi-automatics. It’s the slippery slope conundrum. When the govt has over and over again abused their power, especially recently with covid, tech etc., one side gets completely dug in on not moving an inch and the other side let’s uneducated, bad faith voices become the loudest …. In other words, a typical day in America.

What’s the answer? Don’t say “stop them from getting guns”… how do we stop them? So often we see people who shouldn’t have guns, have them. The laws we have in place either were not enforced or were bypassed. Megyn Kelly is right when she says the gun debate is over. Anti-2A folks lost. We need to move on to other shooting related topics to try and stop this constant gun violence … both the mass shootings the press loves to talk about and the gang violence that they don’t. I dont own a gun. I’m definitely open to a rational gun control conversation … but the more I hear from performative folks on the gun control side, the more apparent it is that they either don’t have a solution and/or simply want to repeal 2A.

Activists blocking subway trains now. Good times. I’m sure all the passengers trying to get to and from work, and stuck in the tunnels, are happy to sacrifice their day for performative clout chasers.

I do .. and now the Chiefs have played in 3 of 4 and won 2 of 4. It is extremely difficult. Some teams figure it out. Im simply telling you that, while we have had some valid excuses, at a certain point stop talking about luck … because some teams make their own.

2 of the last 4, played in 3 of the last 4. Not sure that mistype is worthy of an “lmao”. Arguing that it takes all this luck yet two teams in recent memory found a way to dominate the conference.

Its really hard, except the Chiefs have won 2 of the last *4 and been in 3 of the last 4. Before them, the Patriots were regularly playing in, and winning, Super Bowls. Patriots had the luxury of playing in a weak division year after year. Chiefs, with Mahomes, have yet to play a road playoff game. As much as we want to talk about peaking at the right time and injuries (which have NOT been kind to us recently with Tre White and Von Miller), the regular season matters… Get the ****** one seed. Bills path last year: Dolphins, Bengals, neutral site Chiefs. Bengals path last year: Ravens, at Bills, at Chiefs. Chiefs path last year: BYE, Jaguars, Bengals. It matters.

If we’re talking public perception, nobody should be getting mad that certain pundits/publications will rank Burrow over Allen. Nobody cares that Allen played with a torn UCL for half the season and had a bottom tier OL with mediocre weapons and a team that ran out of gas heading into the playoffs… He played poorly in the final game anyone remembers from him. Against Burrow, who played well. Going into the season, Allen was viewed by many as the best QB in the league. Their last glimpse of him was the 13 seconds game. I’d take Allen over anyone. He’s the most physically gifted QB in the league. He’s never had the weapons Burrow has had or the coaching/protection Mahomes has. My sincere hope is that Beane finally came through for his QB so that we can see his talent shine through without being let down by those around him.

To me, Burrow is the closest thing this generation of QB’s has to Brady. That certainly doesn’t mean he’s going to be as successful, but he just makes the right read and takes what the defense gives him 99% of the time. He doesn’t have the physical talent Mahomes and Allen have … they are in a league of their own, albeit with different skill sets, but both of them can get frustrated and force the ball down the field. Burrow will literally go the entire game throwing 0-15 yard passes if that’s what you’re giving him.

Chiefs play us at home, have a slightly easier schedule (depending on how the divisional opponents turn out) and have proven time and time again to find a way to play all of their post-season games at home. Makes sense. Interesting that we’re tied with CIN. They have, on paper, a much easier schedule than us.

Allen played half the season with a torn UCL. Also, it is what it is, but Allen plays in (likely) the worst passing weather in the NFL.

It’s so tiresome to see y’all label anyone that disagrees with you as MAGA… but please, we must save Ukraine above all else! Thank goodness support for this proxy war is slipping, and there’s not much neolibs and neocons can do about it. In the meantime, at least Kiev knows how to party during this war. The girl to guy ratio is amazing .. oh, wait…

Gonzalo Lira, journalist critic of Ukraine, being arrested/disappeared by Ukrainian military is yet another fantastic example of why we’re simply funding a proxy war against Russia .. this isn’t preservation of democracy … the country is simply a lesser evil of corruption and authoritarianism.
