Re: Lessons from 2024 Campaign, where you go from there?


Explain to people why inflation happened and the world was going through the same thing.

I'm not sure that you can explain enough to enough people for it to matter. Too many people don't care and can easily get their information from somewhere that will agree with them.

The only people that ...

Re: Living under Trump 2


It won't matter if the left protests peacefully like last time, the right will find some way to demonize them. So to say we can't do anything because they'll just get mad, won't win the Dems any elections. Liberals are getting tired of this "kumbaya" stuff, they want results. Dems can't get those ...

Re: PREDICT NFC CHAMPIONSHIP: COMMANDERS @ EAGLES - Fried Eagles in Philly...the NFCCG!

I think you can give up yards to Barkley and still win the game. I'm not selling out against the run, especially (as was the case with the Rams) if you do and he breaks through, he can easily go all of the way. I don't think we have anybody on defense that is running Barkley down.

One key is to ...

Re: Living under Trump 2


I think the next 4 years are going to certainly suck, but I'm not sure if I see civil unrest on the horizon. Like I said, maybe I'm missing something.

I'm not sure that civil unrest is on the horizon, but I think the road to it isn't unforeseeable to the point where making some basic plans and ...

Re: Shaved those kitties: Next Day Edition


thanks for the observations. I am watching the replay as I could not watch the original. Allen seemed pretty good at DT tonight

The run D is still an issue, but I thought over all the DL and the front 7 played well. And they had plays where they actually got stops in the run game. It seemed like ...

Re: Divisional Round-Gameday Thread: Commanders @ Lions

Getting off the field here without giving up points that would be big.

Re: Israel Hamas/Gaze cease fire


I think that Israel is wanting to rest/regroup before it moves on to its next major enemy Iran, betting that Trump will be tougher on Iran this time around.

I don't think Israel is going to invade Iran, and I don't think Trump will either. Killing the leadership might be possible, but I'm ...

Re: How do we beat the lions?

We need to convert on 4th downs. Last week we were 3 for 5.

I've got it as probably a +5 point swing vs. if they don't go at all. If they go for more with the same efficiency, go for more where it really affects the score (e.g. ones where they aren't already in field goal range) with same ...

Re: All Things Star Wars

Skeleton crew was eh. It is hard to have a show where the main characters are kids unless there is going to be real time given to the kids explaining their emotions. Otherwise, it just becomes the kids can do whatever they want and kids do all sorts of crazy things.

Hoping for a strong Andor.

Re: The Legacy of Joe Biden


This is the ticking time bomb decades in the making when interest rates rise. The deficit is growing because of the cost of interest payments on the debt.


Anybody see Trump taking the MMT "thought experiment" about printing large value bills seriously, ordering Treasury to print a couple of 100 ...
