Yes, and if we don't button things up we will be like Mexico in a heartbeat.
We are either going to have law and order, or we are finished. The choice (on Nov. 3) has never been clearer.
Biggest election I've ever voted in...excep 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 and 1988.

posted by SpockHe doesnt get it both ways....you cant bitch about how well things arent going then not spend a billion of your 500 billion to help....and yes he should be funding American innovation. The reason why he isnt is because he knows the US red tape is going to slow this down and Germany probably doesnt regulate as much.
Its the same as us spending a dollar if we have $500
Telling people how they should be giving their money away sounds pretty left wing to me. You pulling a Sleeper?
posted by HereticSteelers won ugly. Way too many first downs surrendered via penalty for anyone's taste in that one. Should have been a blowout, instead it came down to the end because they utterly refused to pull them away. Two untimely turnovers and all those defensive penalties make them a lucky-as-hell team to be 2-0 right now.
NFL requires some ugly and lucky wins. Good teams always find a way. Steelers always do.
posted by wildcats20Unreal finish in Dallas. That onside was ridiculous, but also horribly played by Atlanta. Just letting the ball roll around.
Unbelievable. I give the Cowboys a lot of credit for fighting their way back. What a huge mental mistake by Atlanta. I think none of the Falcons knew the rules of an onsides kick.
It was wild seeing an onsides ball kicked like that.
Bryson's use of "protein shakes" and "hard work in the weight room" seem to be paying off in this thick rough. Wonder if they'll be more miraculous physical transformations this next off-season.

Agree about Reed. The guy is simply impossible to root for. His treatment of his parents is horrible.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...and Biden's praised slaveowner Thomas Jefferson. So what? This stuff is a black hole with no solution.

Like what, the take over of the country by Marxists and socialists? Already well under way, and actually in the past in many large cities.
No, I'm referring to your about-one-per-month post linking an obscure article about some sort of investigation into Obama/beaurocrat with your usual conclusion along the lines of "indictments about to start coming". Your good about building up the tension for the audience, but he big moment never seems to come. I am starting to think I want my ticket refunded.
Neither of these two are going in Rogan's show. Biden's handlers would never allow him to be exposed to open ended questioning that could flow in any direction. He's not even close to being up to that. That much off the cuff would be a complete trainwreck as it would lay bare his mental decline Trump wouldn't go because he'd be unable to go deep into any topics plus he'd be unable to control the discussion - Rogan would call him out and his only strategy would be saying, "You're being very nasty".

The fire hoses and German Shepherds will be deployed on Nov. 4th. along with other anti-anarchist firepower. As well, their anti-American funding sources will be cut off at the knees via RICO.
Sounds like one of your "the hellfire's about to rain down" posts. When are all of these furious events you predict ever going to happen.
posted by Laley23Brennan is from Toledo. I’ve met her quite a few times and she is actually really pleasant. But goodness her takes are awful and always glass half empty. She tries to use her platform to take down those in charge.
She is so predictively negative and cynical. I don't know why USA Today decided that sports page readers are interested in her woke political takes. A very negative person and an obvious elitist.

posted by HereticThe Brennan person who called it the saddest day in B1G history seems to be a really miserable and horrible person. I couldn't imagine being a sports writer who actively hated the fact sports were still around.
She called the Big Ten's decision to play the "darkest day in the conference's history". I guess Jerry Sandusky wasn't so bad after all.

She's awful. I saw her article indicated she grew up in Ohio, but attended every Michigan home game - shocker. She's also able to work into most of her college related pieces that she went to Northwestern for undergraduate and graduate school, that she's a visiting professor at Northwestern and that she sits on Northwestern's board of regents. You'd think half the players will end up dead reading her column. Never mind that this won't happen and that these kids actually want to play.
You're right, a thoroughly miserable person.
Man is there anyone pushing the 'Rona = death narrative more than the political sports columnists in USA Today's sports section?
This tournament always brings to mind the most unbelievable tournament performance in my lifetime - Tiger's 2000 US Open win. I'm 50 years old and cannot recall a more dominating performance in any sport like that during my lifetime. Still unbelievable to me.
This is going to be very tight to get in the 8 games. But I'm glad it's happening. The incompetence of the Big Ten's handling of this entire thing is so staggering. They'll hang their hat on the new testing options as the big change that allowed it to go forward. In reality, not a damn thing has changed since August 10th when they originally made this decision. If they'd just admit they completely overreacted and are correcting themselves, I'd have a lot of respect for them.
Oh well, Buckeyes are back. In light of the fact that Michigan's president was a huge cause of this debacle, I hope the Buckeyes absolutely demolish them again this year.
Hey U-M, your program is no longer relevant. Yes you ruled the leather helmet era, but that period has officially closed.
BO: Those who stay will be champions.
PROSPECT: Wow Bo. You stayed a long time. How many championships did you win?
BO: None

INB4 Quaker accuses this of being a liberal/left/Democrat scam to create a November 4 "cure".

Bad fake crowd noise for Steelers/Giants. The "crowd" seems to go crazy for random things. Very goofy.

This dude is 38. There’s a better chance his knee will be swelled than his ego tomorrow..
I think you watched too much of the Browns yesterday - I did too. Ben and Steelers look pretty damned good.
