    disclaimer: Gregg’s not good either and baker wouldn’t be their starter long term under him either

     

    I disagree.  Mayfield was never going to be a top tier QB, but he could have been middle of the road, decent starter.  Hell, he's going to be a starter again this year.  Constant change in offense and coaches isn't good for anyone.

    What a shocker 😮. Cmon after watching “Quarterback” on Netflix it was completely obvious he was not the play caller and really didn’t have much say in KC. Matt Nagy was making the calls and he is now the OC again in KC. They got much better. 
     

     

     

    Nagy isn't and never was the play caller in KC either.  It's always been Reid.

    I do understand that this could be a different unrelated cause, but what could it be that would explain this kind of jump? Myocarditis is almost certainly from the vaccine, but so many of the other ailments that are blamed on it are as likely from people being shut ins for 3 year. I truly believe that the vaccine was a bad idea for young people.

     

    I am not arguing that it's not possible.  My issue is a very biased website pushing out articles based on "research" that links things with no direct evidence provided.  Are the side effects caused by the vaccine?  It's possible.  But the article says they are linked, and then just says that A and B happened and makes the assumption that they are linked.

    Your own article doesn't actually link anything.  They claim by going through insurance data that they can link the vaccine to still births.  But it is simply guessing based on when the vaccine went live, and 9 months later.  No other supporting data is given.

     

    And, from the article itself: "That makes COVID-19 vaccine-induced spontaneous abortion the most plausible hypothesis for the drop in birth rates — because the same number of women were becoming pregnant, but fewer of them were carrying their pregnancies to term."

     

    The author of the article is a political writer from a political website created by RFK Jr., and supporting his anti vaccine book at every turn.  

     

     

    I am not saying that these absolutely couldn't be linked, but the article just gathers a bunch of random data and then claims they must be linked without actually linking any of it directly.

    The sand called.  It misses your head.  Dude is running against Trump. Od course he lied.  No way does the Biden DOJ go after him.  He's their asset.  Two-tiered system.  What a mess.   

     

     

     

    Do you hold Trump to the same standard of lying? Is he also a phony?

    At least we’ve accepted that it exists - you’ve clearly seen enough the last 7 years to believe it does.  
     

    And so I think you know the answer to this question - he clearly didn’t but was clearly seen as a threat.  

     

    First off…..He won.  2015 in Britain and here in 2016 thanks to a Wild West internet they saw they lost all narrative control.  That freaked them out more then anything.  
     

    But bigger then that….
     

    He didn’t start or further any conflict.  


    So your “them.”  
     

    Your worried his winning is potentially at worst the beginning of the end of a military industrial complex that wants troops in Ukraine.  That wants to bomb Syria.  That sees Russia as a forever threat.  


    At best it stands to lose out on billions due to Trump disinterest in “America starting wars first.”


    Everything is totally normal 

     

     

    i

    Do I think that there are different set of rules and situations for the wealthy, and those in the higher ups up politics?  Absolutely.  Do I think there is a national and worldwide conglomerate that secretly plots any and all major events in the world?  I do not.  And if there was, I think Trump would be the last person to try to stand up to them.  Trump is as ME first as it gets, so he would look to benefit off of it as much as the next guy.  He used his presidency and campaign to line his families' pockets.  He or his advisors have figured out that if he makes himself out as some champion of the "people", he can use it as a source of vast income.  For a billionaire, all he ever does as ask others to fund all of his legal and politic ambitions.  Politicians have always done that, but not the the extent that Trump is doing it in all manner of things.  He has a history of campaign and charity fraud going back years.

     

    And again, let's say there IS a Deep State.  What has Trump done, in actions, to dismantle or attack it?  He' talked to no end about doing it.  But what has he actually done?  Actions, not words.

    It's just as shady to use this as "breaking news" and then put out a pure speculation piece.

     

    Hunter Biden is shady as can be, and more than likely deserves prison time for any of a number of reasons, but to put out "Breaking News" and then literally start the the discussion with "They probably" is straight up dishonest reporting.  The dude has zero evidence of anything other than he dislikes Biden.

    Yep, if he shows up for the first week, they have to pay him.

     

    But the Raiders can also rescind the tag anytime before he would sign.  I highly doubt he would do that, but given the RB market right now, the franchise tag is a decent amount of money comparatively.  Once he signs, the contract is guaranteed, but he also would be subject to fines.

    That would be a bad move . How many touches would Jacobs take away from Harris and Cook? That's not an efficient use of RBs.

    And how much better would the production really be? Then you have even more questions at WR. 

    All this assumes the Bills could trade for him and pay him what he wants.

     

    At that point, it would be Cook and Harris taking touches from Jacobs.  Jacobs is far and away better than either of them.  

     

    But either way, I doubt a trade like that happens anyway.

    if its assumed republican appointed judges are biased for the right.

     

    the same argument would hold for DEM appointed judges.

     

     

     

     

     

    Right, and a ton of the right's argument is always how biased certain parts of the government are, and how corrupt they are towards the left.  Sot he statement was just to throw that aspect of the argument out the window.

    Thank you.   

     

    As far as what he says about Federal spending, he is correct.  If you total all tax revenue received, it is much less than government spending, hence the $32T national debt.  But the statement that many more red states receive more money than they pay in, and many blue states pay more in than they receive is also true.  

     

    I am not sure what his reasoning is on high state taxes "justification".  The only sense I can make of his statement is that blue states tend to pay more of their own programs because they have higher taxes and budgets and red states get more help from the federal government because their state budgets are lower due to lower taxes, then that is exactly what subsidizing would be.  

     

    Edit - I read it again and I suppose he is saying that the money they receive is just new debt, and not from any particular "state", but most of the country's debt is defense spending.  Over half of our annual budget is "defense" spending.  That should in theory be spread out evenly, so no state or citizen is more responsible than another.  Defense spending is 54% of our budget, with no other single category being higher than 6%.  If a state receives more federal dollars than it's citizens pay in, it is being subsidized one way or the other.

    The simple fact that you write off 7 million deaths as nothing, that says a lot about you.  I understand that in terms of global population, the percentage is very low, but that is still millions of families effected.  

     

    Also, the fact that China reports 121,000 deaths, when they were very recently wrong about their our total population by almost 100 million people, shows that their numbers are likely extremely low.  Asia as a whole seems way off.  60% of the world's population and "only" 806,000 reported deaths?  That seems extremely unlikely, especially when that was the epicenter.

    Hahaha infogram.com lol lol might as well just cite a sourceless Biden tweet.  
     

    Try again General.  
     

     

     

     

    And Florida is almost entirely Social Security and Medicare 

     

     

    The federal government provides funds through various overlapping programs. As a result, the proportion of federal aid in state revenues is determined by the combined funding received by both state and local governments.

     

    In terms of overall aid, the five states which received the most federal aid were:

     

     

    California ($116.0 billion)

    New York ($79.2 billion)

    Texas ($68.2 billion)

    Florida ($41.7 billion)

    Pennsylvania ($41.0 billion)

     

     

    https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-rely-the-most-on-federal-aid/

     

    Those are the most populus states as well. If you don't break it down per capita the information is completely pointless. Obviously, states with huge populations are going to receive more money, but per capita, most of those states are in the negative.

    Silly strawman.   They got more odds getting hurt on the bus ride or walking into school, than a gun.

     

    Unless in a dem stronghold where the bangers don't care and miss often. 

     

    But that would be on the way to or from school.  And by the same group that shot up the parties over the weekend 

     

    I am not comparing the 2.  Just saying, if you're going to make the "I guess we freed them so they can shoot each other" statement, then let's just keep making stupid statements.  I know you didn't make the statement, but the statement was made.

    I guess we send kids to school so they can be shot too?  I mean, if you're going to make stupid posts, make fully stupid posts.

    Trump promised to drain the swamp and was unable to deliver...

     

    @cle23

     

    Why do you think that is senator chuckie?

     

    Unelected bureaucrats should be able to wield their power to take down elected officials seems to be his position. 

     

     

     

    Trump never tried to deliver.  He is all talk.  He always has been.  It's the same with Mexico paying for the wall, having a better healthcare plan, tax breaks, etc.  Trump did some good things, but his major campaign points were essentially ignored.

    Oh if he gets elected it would definitely happen, but there's no way Trump is getting elected. If the police state doesn't stop him, fortifying the election will.

     

    Trump claimed all this garbage the first time, and he literally did none of it.  It's all a ploy to try to get elected.  He is a corrupt and deviant as the rest of DC, but somehow everyone believes he is there to "clear the swamp."

    Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?

     

    Because the dems are commies.

     

    This works both ways, right?  Kushner and Ivanka Trump received a $2 BILLION dollar investment from the Saudis within months of leaving office and somehow Republicans don't seem to care at all. 

     

    The parties are the same.  They have been for years and years now.  The issue at this point is everyone is so stupidly arguing against each other that they ignore the blatant and rampant corruption on both sides because they are too busy pointing fingers.

    As we have discussed previously, I do think the trans movement is going to far, especially with treatment for young children.  What people decide to do as an adult is their business, but young children shouldn't be making those kinds of permanent decisions, with or without their parents.

     

    That being said, just because these kinds of groups try to include themselves in the LGBTQ community does not mean that they are supported by LBGTQ.  I am sure there are some outliers, but a few years ago MAPS (minor attracted persons, ie pedophiles) tried to include themselves and were for the most part pushed away.  

     

    Right now there is a tiny group of people who somehow think it is ok to come out and admit they are pedophiles, and then they try to include themselves in larger acceptance groups, but that doesn't mean they are accepted by the groups.  The difference between LGBTQ and pedophiles is all about consent and harm.  Minors cannot consent to sexual acts, and therefore the acts can do them harm.  As long as the acts are between consenting adults, it's not our business.
