    Perhaps being a little overly cautious? It's been almost 1 full year. We've seen a lot of players come back within 9-10 months so I was surprised to see him missing any games this season to be honest

    And then go out with hamstrings (Gus Edwards) and additional surgery (Jk Dobbins). Everyone is different and there is zero harm in slow playing it

    Suicides are rarely things we can actually prevent - but you know what we can try to prevent?

    Once again - the cult proves they only care about things their master tell them and kids are NOT one of them. 
     

    You can’t square this… 

    Wholly unrelated matter. This is how you and your sort go about it though. Oh well.

    The GOP: a subsidiary of the House of Saud, in conjunction with the Kremlin, Viktor Orban, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and big businesses everywhere. 
     

    That being said, they still probably take control of Congress. At which point the only thing they’ll do is show trials and investigations and absolutely nothing to help the average American or the economy. 

    Other than vaccine mandates and continuously pumping them up the Dems are not in the pocket of big pharma. Is that the case? And do you seriously expect anyone to believe dems are NOT on the side of big business? I don’t recall them standing up for mom and pop during the heyday of Covid. Big box retailers were another matter.

    At this point, with the known facts and authorities, the absolutely most likely scenario is that a crazy person broke into the Pelosi’s house looking for Nancy Pelosi and ended up assaulting her husband.

     

    If you think there is some other scenario that is more likely than that, you are just telling on yourself. You are announcing to the world that you are a gullible and unserious person who will throw facts to the wind in the service of emotions and vibes. 
     

    You can claim that you’re just being skeptical, but you’re not.  True skepticism requires grounding in reality. You’re just taking feelings over facts and pretending it makes you superior. You’re not a skeptic, you are a mark and a fool. 

    Who were the marks and fools that ran with the Smollett, Sandmann, Bubba Wallace, and pee-tape stories?
     

    Clearly you see yourself as an elite mind. Please try to have some patience for those of who might raise an eyebrow at things that seem a touch unusual. You know, us wish-casters.

  5. It seems likely that republicans will win control of Congress and democracy will come to an end on Tuesday. These are the same republicans that are going to take away your social security and Medicare, give all your money to rich people, end the planet with fossil fuel emissions, kill your children, kill all grandmothers not already killed by Cuomo during Covid, and though it has not been a featured talking point in this election cycle, want to poison your drinking water. Anyway, I’m wondering about how everyone plans to cope with this looming disaster. My plan is to carry on as normal and hold firm in the belief that once in power the republicans, like the current democrats, will overreach, get thrown out, and then we do it all again further down the road. Thoughts?

    And here I thought that the NYT was an arm of the Democratic Party…

    No. They play it straight down the middle. 🤦‍♂️

     

    https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/opinion/the-public-editor-is-the-new-york-times-a-liberal-newspaper.html

     

    The first sentence sums it up nicely. Quite certain they haven’t become more conservative since this was written either. We can ask Tom Cotton about that.

    The original reporting seems to have been wrong. I'm not going to weigh in on whether it was intentional, honest or otherwise because I hate TV news and I'm not going to go out of my way to defend it.

     

    But if we look at the simplest explanation I would wager there was confusion as to what happened the moment the police entered the picture. If you're told that Pelosi opened the door to greet the police, and that *after* that is when he was struck, you might wonder how the hell the assailant hit him if he was already with the police. Hence, the "he went back into the house" narrative.

     

    Reading the facts of the case in the DoJ's documents, Pelosi went to the door to open it and that's when the struggle ensued. He was able to open the door with one arm while holding the hammer in DePape's hand with the other.

     

    Whatever the original cause of the misreporting, they were right to pull it since it doesn't match the facts of the investigation.

    Seems odd that NBC would go to air in the last 24 hours with such faulty info when you have such ready access to all the relevant info. I guess they don’t vet what they air nationally. Good on them for memory holing it. 
     

    Color me SKEPTICAL. I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist.

    Skepticism is good. These vague insinuations supported by shoddy reporting I'm seeing all over this thread is not skepticism, it's just being partisan hacks (not saying this is you, but there's a ton of it on this thread).

     

    We know that Pelosi was in boxers and a t-shirt, which makes sense since he was sleeping.

     

    We also know that DePape was wearing shorts, which makes sense since the police removed a bunch of items from his pockets (I don't think underwear with pockets is a very common thing...).

     

    We have two sworn documents attesting to the facts of the case:

     

    The DoJ's original criminal complaint

     

    The motion to detain DePape pending trial

     

    The facts sections of these documents are short and in plain language. Even for people who aren't lawyers, you can just skip all the legal stuff and read the couple of pages of facts. They address basically everything being thrown around in this thread.

     

    The media often gets things wrong in the immediate aftermath of these things. They're in a rush to get the info out first, they might not have a good source, the source might have heard something from someone else instead of witnessing it themselves, etc. So when you have a case like this, the best thing you can do is pull the actual complaints and read them.

    What are your thoughts on NBC news spiking their own reporting about it this morning? Honest mistake?

    It’s interesting to watch the craziness form in real time. 
     

    From “just asking questions” to rampant speculation, to eventually solidifying into a politically useful narrative.

     

    Instead of Occam’s Razor, we have PPP’s Razor: no matter how unlikely, the real truth is whatever looks bad for people I don’t like. 

    What are your thoughts on NBC News trying to memory hole their own reporting on the subject? Honest mistake on their part?

    What things would turn out differently?  This obsession with Hunter freaking Biden is absurd.    He's not an elected official.  Who cares?  If it comes out he did wrong arrest appropriately anyone that did wrong.  

    Not surprising the larger point is lost on you. It’s got nothing to do with Hunter Biden. It’s got to do with an overwhelming segment of mainstream media working to tilt the scales in favor of an ideology. You are ok with it. I find that discouraging but carry on.

    Wtf does it matter?  Conservatives watch their stations and progressives watch theirs.  Yes there are considerably more that lean left but fox has quite a bit more viewers so it levels out mostly.

     

    It's all bad.  Unfortunately the opinion shows are the most popular so not much will change.   Just look at how many rightness here are on their knees for Tucker.

    Two years ago the media marched in lockstep on the Hunter laptop story. Had they done honest reporting there’s a good chance things would have turned out differently, for good and bad, in any number of ways. That’s wtf it matters.
