Are we ready to do something about guns yet?
Badsmerf replied to Craig Arko's topic in The Sports Bar
This violence is heart wrenching. I wonder how other countries view us at this point. We would seem like an incredibly dangerous place to live. I don't blame them, for all I know, I could be next. -
I think Brooks is injured again. Has to be. That game was embarrassing. The defense has lost a bunch of starters, but mostly in the secondary. That said, the d line and linebackers are terrible. I'm not sure what the game plan had been lately. The last 5 years, it's been pretty clear what the game plan was. Now, the team is paying aimlessly with a weak defense and worse qb. Fleck will have to make some changes to the coaching staff, regardless of the talent on this team isn't top notch.

This has nothing to do with Trump. He inherited a strong economy that had been heading in this direction for a long time. The only thing that could have an impact on jobs going forward is the castration of the epa and big business regulations. However, I don't see these as large growth moves and more towards bigger profits for businesses.

You think 3.5+ hours is a good thing? I don't have time for that. Most people don't have time for that. If it was one day a week like football that isn't a problem, but when the playoffs are almost everyday for a month... Games take so long now I fear baseball will not be as attractive to kids. The viewing age is older for baseball already, and if they speed it up it will become a problem. There are other viewing opportunities now, media is changing. Baseball needs to change too.

There has to be changes to the rules after this series. Games just take way too long.

It's shameful how they treat the news. After Vegas it was too soon and insensitive to talk about bump stocks and assault weapons. Immediately after the New York attack, tough immigration, extreme vetting, ISIS is a threat, dems don't care blah blah blah. The socialism post is just ignorant. That isn't how it works. The fact that girl was given candy is more like socialism. That family continues to display arrogance, condescension, and the elite attitude that others are worth less than them.

There is no way nothing would happen. There would be a legitimate uprising if that happens. Absolutely no way would be ever get away with it. He is a despicable person, I hope they find enough evidence to lock his ass up. The bitter in all of this, is the conspiracy theorist have his back. If they went after him like they did Clinton, those approval ratings would be really low.
-
I think this will change things. Especially if Pop was wearing a wire for months. It's incredible what these guys did. Did they need Russia to win? What did Russia give them that they wanted bad enough to break the law?
-
This is a big deal. No matter how much Trump and Faux News try to deflect, this is a huge stain on him. Manafort didn't just launder money, it was with intent and totaled millions. That guy ran the campaign until reports surfaced of his dealings. The more Trump tweets and tries to manipulate people, the worse he looks. If he fires Mueller it would be suicide. This Fusion GPS thing is all he's got at this point. Unfortunately, some are going to eat it up without blinking.
-
Maybe the receivers were off tonight, but that wasn't the case last weekend. They don't have a ton of talent there, but Tyler Johnson is a pretty solid receiver. These guys are making me miss Matt leidner, and that is tough to do.
-
Not watching the game, but I see Croft is continuing where he left off last week. 5-18 for 46 yards and an interception. This is the best guy this team has? Rhoda and Croft... And leidner. Kill and co really messed this up.

Bezos made a little bit of money yesterday.....

I can't help but be intrigued by all of this. Even now, 50+ years later, people are spinning new ideas. Even the Russians thought it was a conspiracy bank then! I mean, this has to be the most talked about, most known conspiracy theory in history. There are so many things to question, at such a unique time in history. I can't help but be entertained, with sincere sadness to the Kennedy family.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald a pawn? Will all the files ever be released?

No spoilers!

There is a difference between saying I'm a moderate like Lisa Murkowski, and making sure you win your primary.
-
Clinton only lost Arizona by 3.5 points. With the way it is trending, I think it's a lot more realistic to see it blue in 2 years and purple thereafter. A state doesn't elect 2 moderate republicans to the Senate and then get on the crazy train.
-
The problem I have with that, is the economy did fairly well under Obama. I think it's fair to say, Trump has lately benefited this year from the stability of the last 8 years. That didn't stop the Trump base from believing the economy was in bad shape. There hasn't been a single economic policy Trump has proposed that would help middle class or lower people. I do agree, stagnant job growth would destroy the republicans. However, they have been fighting a war on numbers for years now. Bad numbers will quickly be called fake and bias. This will happen sooner or later.
-
I think you are overestimating the conservative vote in Arizona. I think there is a very real chance the Senate could be completely blue in 2 years. If Ward is the nominee, it shouldn't be hard to beat her. McCain could retire at any moment and in Arizona they have special elections to fill Senate seats. Trump policies will not be good for the majority of Americans. That shouldn't be hard to convey.
-
I see what you did there.
-
Add another enemy to Trump. So, the republicans have lost Corker, now Flake, McCain, and want to enact policies Collins and Murkowski don't like. Good luck for the next 3 years. Bannon has to be foaming at the mouth. He could really do damage to the gop (if he hasn't done enough already).
-
That performance against Illinois was a disaster. It was bad enough for a d3 qb to lose their spot. I wonder what the deal is with a Green. I have to think they'll give him some time this year. Hopefully it isn't mop up time against Wisconsin.
-
Croft is terrible, Rhoda is terrible. I couldn't believe they stuck with Croft on the second half. I think Tyler Johnson and Wazniak are alright. Smith would be an excellent receiving back too. Play calling has really bad all year. The running plays looked better on Saturday, so I'll give them that. The next 4 games are winnable. Iowa is pretty bad, and Nebraska/NW are meh, Michigan is not very good either. Without better qb play forget about it.
-
President snowflake will be the only living president not at a hurricane event. Only days after Bush and Obama gave speeches indirectly calling out Trump's rhetoric. Bannon is doing his best to splinter the gop. I'm surprised he is getting a stump this large to speak on. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is digging her own grave with her comments and attitude in general. I really hope the general population revolts against these people next year. If not, I might start getting a little worried.

If Keenum can come in and win games, the packers have no excuse. Yeah, Rogers is special, but one guy isn't a team. The injury is kinda on him too, he didn't really try to protect himself. I watched it live and immediately knew what happened. You don't let a huge dude pile drive you into your shoulder. Barr did go harder than I would have liked, so I agree with Rogers. Maybe that is why he got hurt, he was expecting Barr to let up and relaxed.
