This administration can’t hit its immigration goals without racial profiling or violating the rights of American citizens. It’s just not possible. You don’t need to be a bleeding heart liberal to see why that is concerning.

Nothing I said was related to Trump. I understand the complication of it. The most was directed at the poster.

I’ll answer your questions, but I’m genuinely curious what you think SHOULD happen. How should Iran be treated when it comes to the nuclear threat, regardless of how close they are to building a bomb? What is a reasonable expectation for how a neighboring country should respond to a regime that threatens its existence and actively funds and arms violent proxies surrounding it? And how should allies of that country respond, especially if they claim to share its security concerns? I understand the hesitation. I can even agree that Iran might not be on the verge of weaponization, and that ultimately, meaningful change within Iran has to come from its own people. But at some point, doesn’t the world have to confront the fact that a regime with deep connections to terrorism is becoming increasingly nuclear capable? To me, this was always going to be a ***** sandwich. Maybe it did not have to be dealt with right now, but it was always going to come to a head eventually. So the real question is not whether to deal with it but how and when. The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous and unstable it becomes. There was never going to be a clean or comfortable moment to handle this. Someone was always going to have to take the first bite. The only question is whether it is done recklessly and alone, or strategically and with collective responsibility. I still don't know what is the best answer is, but what I'm reading here is a lot of people that agree or don't agree but neither side comes up up with a solution to deal with the underlying issues of either position they want to take. You seem to have a high amount of knowledge of the region so what would be your strategy here?

https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data How about we look at 69 polls by month and see how many had his approval rating over 50. February 23 of 52= 44.23% March 10 of 52 = 19.23% April 1 of 59 = 1.69% May 2 of 39 = 5.12% June 4 of 27 = 14.81% Then how many times out of the 246 separate polls since February had an approval at 56% or higher. 2 If you want a flat Earth you can find something to back it up. That's the world we live in.

They could even be in North Carolina

That would be so hard! They go hand in hand. The non alcoholic stuff isn't horrible, just doesn't feel the same obviously.

Ya, I have read a few of his takes, premium quality. Hope all is well!

About as perfectly said on all fronts as one could.

Yup

I wonder if his everyday life is like his political life with all the threats "if you don't grow up, something very, VERY, BIG will happen. I warned him, I told him, stop with this Button routine, grow up, he chose not to, he had his chance" "I looked at that salami sandwich and, and I said, you need to figure this out. You either get in my belly or that's it. You know what it did? It didn't sit on that plate, I'll tell you that much" "I got up and it came out, so I said to the fart, this is the last time. If you come out again like that it will be the last time for you or any of your little friends. I eat what I want now. No Gas. No gas at all"

It's French I might have already said that earlier in the thread but I'm getting older and that's what old people do.

Now a Raven

It’s an odd bump, but probably more enjoyable to see some of the older threads vs the offseason garbage

Pretty sure he removed anybody that doesn’t see things his way, but by all means, paint it however you want.

A reporter questioning a politician? What politician is “debating” with the president?

So if a story on X says something it's true or if one person does something it's indictive of all the people. Get some sense, it's not like I think all of America is dumb and ignorant to the rest of the world because of you.

Trash isn't all that bad, lay off

Not to mention we just punted on one of the better RB drafts in some time. If he leaves and we don't try and fill the hole internally (serious downgrade) it would likely be in FA. At which point it's back to my call outs. You're spending 5-8 million or so, you have just as much left over from the 15 million, at which point you sign a guy who is likely a back up. I just don't agree with it. As much as I don't think Cook is worth 15 million dollars I also don't see an easy path for this team to use that 15 million and replace the value Cook brings. It seems like you're in agreement of this largely so just adding to your call outs.

Imagine taking one sentence snippets from other peoples conversations to start crap and then calling those people haters

I'm a 43 year old, left leaning Trump hater. I'm not buying what Benji is selling, but the Iranian regime, as I said, is among the worst in the world. I feel for those people and know a ton of them who have come here, most with family still in Tehran, and yet they still support what is happening from Israel after watching their freedoms reduced to something out of the Middle Ages under this regime. It is true that the future without Khamenei is uncertain, but it is just as true that the future with him is too. I don't trust Israel, but if these actions can help give those people a chance, then I'm hopeful something good can come from this. I also genuinely do not think Israel has any interest in attacking energy assets that would impact the global system. They have little support for this war as it is, and doing so would all but eliminate it. If you think that is the case, so be it.

His athleticism is what allowed the play to happen. For 15 million dollars this team will not find a player that will make as big of an impact as Cook will. If you don't agree with that statement I get it. That's how these things go. I think he's a 12 million dollar guy and not 15. But I keep getting stuck on reflecting on my own financial situations over time. A lot of the time 10% would have secured my highest motivation as it showed a belief in me. I have gotten it at times and not in others. In the end the cost to the employer was a very dedicated high performing employee over a fraction of what the likely replacement and training costs would be. I see the gap from 10 to 15 million with Cook as a fairly similar situation which is where I really wonder just how much more we would get with 5 million dollars?

What about Trump mobile plans? Or Trump beer coolies, or Trump hats?

The overreaction to last year is far crazier.

His playoff resume is among the best ever. His defense in several of those years was a liability
