    Is this the story arc?  Could be be the locker room cancer that takes down the Chiefs?  To bookend the pic of him after the 13 seconds game, we need one where he's wearing a KC uni standing on the field after the Bills win the AFCC

    Maybe he is secretly still committed to helping the Bills win?  If all it takes is for him to rot KCs locker room, I'm all for it!

    Oh cool, another one of these "the guy didn't play well his rookie year so he's never going to be good" threads.  Can we, for the love of God, ever actually give these guys a chance before we go all doom and gloom on them?  

    This feels more like a "bump in 2 years of Bishop doesn't pan out" thread.

    I hope he plays like Max Crosby, but, from a looks perspective, I can’t decide on who Landon Jackson reminds me of most - Xerxes from 300, Styr from Game of Thrones, Agent 47 from the Hitman video game, other? Just can’t put my finger on it...

    I mean this might end up being cool but lets be honest... this is all just an added money making thing for the NFL. Creating a new special uniform so everyone goes out and buys another jersey.

    I came wait to order mine!!!

    Questions about the NEW stadium

    The cup holders on 3 of my 4 season seats are gone. We started with only 2/4 being functional when I moved to those seats but we managed to deal with it for a number of years. Pats playoff game put us down to one and it’s actually fairly annoying. 

    Ha, I haven't had one in my seats for 10 years!

    I'm not an economist. Wouldn't pretend to be. This is a global economy with so many nuisances it's virtually impossible for the normal person to understand the full implications of everything that will happen from this. When it comes to situations I can grasp more clearly but are still very complicated, especially when the stakes are high, I'm cautious. If I can't see what's around the corner then it's not very safe to slam the gas pedal. I would expect the same behavior from the president of the United States when it comes to our livelihood.

     

    What Trump has done with this is unconscionable. This is the most powerful country in the world, the most wealthy, still economically positioned better than the majority of the countries in the world. He decided to take an action that has the potential to have catastrophic consequences on the US. It wasn't a situation with the US on the brink of war or being forced to make a move so drastic. He did so as if this move would have no risk and only reward. It's beyond short sited, especially when all the leading experts are throwing caution to the wind. 

     

     

     

    I appreciate the reasoned response.  I know a bit about economics, and many academic economists will say tarriffs dont work.  I agree in principle, but there is more in play than basic academic factors. 

    Regardless, it's surely not as bleak and terrifying as you think, at least from my perspective. And to be clear, this is just my personal interpretation of things.  

     

    Ultimately,  we have been getting taken advantage of by our trading partners (friends and enemies) on a sizable scale both with tarriffs and with environmental aspects, causing essentially a defacto subsidizing of their economies.  Its been ok because the US was so wealthy that we could afford it, and being this generous bought us a lot of goodwill internationally (at the expense of our working class and production base ,if you want proof, spend some time in downtown Jamestown NY).

    At some point it needed to be addressed (as do many arguably more urgent issues like SS and our insane national debt).  As is often the case, Trump handled it poorly, but he was right in identifying the issue.  I think he believes it will result in a massive renegotiation of tarriffs (think everyone lowering tarriffs equally), and probably in short order.  If he is right, this move has the power to reset global trade and possibly make the US an actual manufacturing center again (as opposed to just a country of consumer economy), ultimately increasing our tax base, which can be used to address some of the other urgent fiscal issues facing our country. As for the goodwill aspect, this days are pretty much gone anyway,  imo. If he is right in all of this, I'd say it's the opposite of short sighted. 

    If he is wrong and nobody blinks, he will just quietly lower the tarriffs and declare a HUGE victory anyway, in true Trump form.

    In the short term it'll mean turmoil, posturing and higher prices on some goods.  What is the long term outcome going to be?  Who knows. 

    But again, this is just my personal take on it.

    I see the value of tariffs in small doses, but personally think that this is way too much too fast. We didn't get to this level of debt overnight, and it will take more than one decision or even one year of decisions to get us out. The level of success or failure for this will depend on other countries and whether they are willing to negotiate or whether they call his bluff and retaliate (I wouldn't put it past far left celebrities and extremist activists to beg other country leaders to do the latter.)

     

    If it is the first scenario, he looks brilliant, if it is not, it could create a mess and essentially guarantee democrat wins in two and four years. Since we were all told to "give it more time", three years into Biden's term, I can give it at least a couple of months before i pass full judgment.

    See my above post. I generally did the same.

    This is such an interesting subject from an economic perspective, too bad all we can do is flame away at each other. 

    Honestly it's ballsy gambit. This is how I see it:

    Historically our exports are generally tarriffed/taxed at a higher rate than we are charging on imports.  Combined with generally lower environmental regulatory standards by some of our biggest trade partners (well, motlstly one giant smoggy one), it creates a really unequal playing field for American producers.  

     

     

    But what are the potential outcomes of this trade war beyond increased short term prices? It's a hell of a question.   Some bad, some neutral, some great.

    Apparent reason: hey, don't forget about me! I'm made of presidential timber!!

     

    You try to create a perfect Democratic candidate, you start objectively with Cory Booker's attributes. Kind of an Obama Jr. But somehow the whole is way less than the sum of the parts. I just don't see it.

    I agree. It felt like a focus group told him this was a way to increase his chances for 2028. He at least should  have waited for a Republican bill to filibuster. This was just politics theater,  and most people dgaf about that as a topic outside of the beltway or hyperpartisans.

    They were probably arguing over that goofy hat with the flat brim McDermott was wearing.

     

    Does he have an N'Sync tribute album coming out or something?

    Who told him that it was ok to wear out of the house?  I totally get it if he is in his room in front of the mirror, trying the hat on with his lime green Connor McGregor t-shirt and cutoff jean shorts, cranking his Jump Around cassette on the tape deck.   But not out in public, Sean!
