It's a frustrating offseason anytime a franchise like Baltimore goes from having the NFL's best record in the regular season to watching 14 players sign with another team and trading another (right tackle Morgan Moses to the New York Jets). According to ESPN Stats & Information, the 15 players lost this offseason are tied for the most with the Minnesota Vikings.
This type of free agency period was expected in Baltimore, which had limited salary cap space and currently has $10 million in cap room. The list of players gone from the Ravens include Pro Bowl inside linebacker Patrick Queen, who signed with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers; three starting offensive linemen (guards Kevin Zeitlerand John Simpson along with Moses); their most productive edge rusher in Jadeveon Clowney; their touchdown leader in running back Gus Edwards; and the NFL's runner-up in interceptions last season in safety Geno Stone.

Believe them if you want. Maybe its true, maybe wishful thinking.
You MAGA people always discounted polls that showed Trump unpopular. But this is ok?
Polls are obsolete, IMO
Land lines to cell phones made them useless
Any thoughts on why The Big Guy has such wretched approval numbers?

How about an aggregate of many polls that show 🇺🇸🇺🇸President Brandon, a good American president 🇺🇸🇺🇸, underwater on job approval by -16. Is that basically useless too? If not, why do you think so many disapprove of his job performance?

OPERATION STUMBLEBUM: THE NEXT GENERATION. Scoop: Biden’s walkers.
President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides.
Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait, Axios’ Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report.
Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age.
Weeks ago, the president told aides that he’d prefer a less formal approach, a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him.
White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden’s walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he’d typically walked solo.
Senior aides — including deputy chiefs of staff Bruce Reed and Annie Tomasini, and close adviser Mike Donilon — are among those who’ve walked with the president across the lawn to and from the helicopter.
Since the change, some advisers think the images of Biden’s walks to and from the helicopter are better, and they expect him to continue to have aides join him.
By the numbers: In March, Biden’s five walks to and from Marine One at the White House were by himself, or with family members.
Starting April 16, Biden was joined by staff or lawmakers nine out of 10 times he walked to and from Marine One.
The big picture: Biden’s team has focused on changing voters’ perceptions about his age in recent months.

Before I comment, shake my head ruefully, or just outright laugh, I would like to know if Frankish considers the somewhat left-leaning Axios to be part of the “reliable” media. Only then can we truly assess the content of the article.

On a serious note - I can't find the underlying poll questions/data.
If you dig into what Axios did give us, yes, the majority favor "mass deportations." But what does that mean? Does it mean rounding up people and sending them home without due process? Maybe not: 58% favor "increased pathways" for legal immigration. Would that include the spouse of a U.S. citizen who's here illegally? 65% say we should create new mechanisms for legal immigration so people don't have to enter illegally (not sure in what way this is different than the "legal pathways" question). 46% want to make sure people with legitimate asylum claims are protected, but how do we separate legitimate from illegitimate without due process (court hearings, etc)?
My takeaway: Americans largely agree that the current situation is chaotic and unsustainable. I agree too. But they are also fundamentally decent people who see a role for immigrants - an increased legal role - and protections for people claiming asylum. So that's how we got here. "Mass deportations while assessing each case on its merits" is really a contradiction in terms.
EDIT: I think I'd interpret it this way - "American people believe that those who are subject to deportation under the law should be expeditiously deported." Which is an indictment of Biden's policies, which by their own terms allow a lot of people who are here illegally and have no means of legalizing their status to stay here anyway.
Agree. My point in posting is to expose an idiot like roundybout that sees the border/immigration disaster as being about skin color and readily labeling those that think as you do, racists.
Mission accomplished.

Here's the WSJ worrying that things are too good and can't last. It seems that nobody on the right (old or new) can be happy these days.

America’s Economy Is No. 1. That Means Trouble.
If you want a single number to capture America’s economic stature, here it is: This year, the U.S. will account for 26.3% of the global gross domestic product, the highest in almost two decades.
That’s based on the latest projections from the International Monetary Fund. According to the IMF, Europe’s share of world GDP has dropped 1.4 percentage points since 2018, and Japan’s by 2.1 points. The U.S. share, by contrast, is up 2.3 points.
China’s share is up since 2018, too. But instead of overtaking the U.S. as the world’s largest economy, the Chinese economy has slipped in size to 64% of the U.S.’s from 67% in 2018.
You sound like my mother. 75 degrees, sunny, gentle breeze. Me: what a fantastic day! Mom: but not for long! The weatherman says it may snow next week.
Bloomberg:
GDP advances an annualized 1.6%, slower than all projections
First-quarter core inflation measure accelerates to 3.7% rate
Frankish:
Of course! All good!

Different thing.
The housing market: for every loser (the young person paying a high price for a home), there's a winner (the old person making a mint and retiring somewhere warm).
On the macro economic scale, an overheated economy means inflation. We just had that. The Fed raised rates to try to get things back in balance. So far it seems to be happening. Why is this bad? Inflation was bad, the cure for inflation is bad, everything is bad ...
It seems that people noticing everything around them is the one thing you actually find bad.

You are the one that believes the housing market is in good shape because some sellers may reap generational wealth, correct? Kudos are in order for belonging to a very exclusive group with that thinking. But hey, keep that glass about 1/10 full

A matter of statistics.
“Mainstream Media” = maybe a couple dozen sources max. Do they get everything right, right away? Of course not. Maybe they hit .900. Or .800.
“Alt Media” = thousands of sources. Ridiculous conspiracy tweeters like Pizzagate Jack. Opinion twitter monkeys like those often cited here, offering a hot take on some MSM story. Completely fake propaganda sites posting from Russia. Cherry pick the good ones (nobody here does) and you may approach MSM reliability. But just assume that a National Enquirer or Pizzagate Jack story/tweet is reliable? I even see Alex Jones cited here. I don’t know the batting average, but “Mendoza Line” is probably applicable.Nobody is suggesting you not run with “reliable” to describe what we are getting from Fox, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, and the rest. Hoo boy…

Yes they do too.
if someone points out a popular lefty talking point, I will be glad to add my thumbs up 👍I think that may just be enough to change the discourse
Do you believe the constant use of “privilege” be it white privilege, male privilege, cis privilege, beauty privilege, non-immigrant privilege, or any other ridiculous use of the word stems from people that lean right or left?
Or do you find the use of “lawfare” by trumpist tweeters to be more prevalent and therefore more annoying?-

This thread, solely for the use of “reliable” in the title deserves instant classic status. Here’s a nice read that highlights many of our “reliable/imperfect” mainstream media puking all over themselves. Reliable? Laughable. Hard to believe Frankish would hit the submit button with that title.

The use of the word “reliable” in the thread title is somewhere between fascinating and dumbfounding.

Of course there was. All the Trumpist tweeters started using it all at once.
Just like our obedient little lambs all shifted from "socialist" or "leftist" or whatever to "communist" overnight. It's their own kind of beta testing, but it's so insular that it never gains traction outside of their tight little circle.
Only those on the right engage in this. 🤦🏽🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♀️

And the headline is misleading because ... what?
It reads "Says Gaza Defense."
I know you mounted a half-hearted defense of Big Media a little bit earlier but it’s my opinion that running a headline like this, while factual, is certainly slanted to manipulate the reader into thinking “Israel bad”. It’s a story that CNN admits within cannot be confirmed. The word “Hamas” does not appear.
As someone that removed Jews from the discussion while trying to argue on behalf of University presidents that were unwilling to declare harassment of Jews as being against university policy, it doesn’t surprise me that you take no issue here.
