wvParticipantJust skip to the 20 minute 40 second point in that Vid, if you decide to watch it. The first twenty mins is just more of the usual about Hillary and the Dem Media smearing Tulsi.
Abby Matt and Katie talk about RT. I’d be curious to hear anyone else’s thots about Matt, Katie, Abby’s discussion on RT. Am i the only one here who agrees with Abby about RT? I think it has the best accessible, lucid, reporting on America that I can find. It doesn’t cover Russia, and I dont care that it doesnt cover Russia. I can find out about Russia from other sources.

vOctober 23, 2019 at 7:46 pm in reply to: tweets + other things (w/ VB Q&A) … 10/21 thru 10/23 #107215wvParticipantRedzone Improvement, despite the OLine/Gurley mess. Interesting.
Well, we know McVay had to have made it a point of emphasis in the offseason. Maybe he figured some stuff out, i dunno.
I wonder if Gurley is gonna end up being a ‘third down back’ by the end of the season.

vwvParticipantLOL people were so ignorant about the nature and cause of disease back then.
Now we know, because of science, that drinking the blood of murderers can lead to all sorts of ailments including dropsy, Bronze John, and the King’s Evil.
================
Tell me about it. I had the King’s Evil once. But it was only the 24-hour kind.
Luckily I didnt have to go through the entire series of Owl Urine treatments.

vwvParticipantI dont think so. She’s not Bernie. But Bernie is not Jill.
She’s not Obama. She’s a different animal than Obama.She’s no leftist. But she’s also no Obama-CORPORATIST. She’s an odd one. Hard to label.
One thing Ive learned is she…changed. If you look at the old-Tulsi from years ago, you can see why Bannon might like her. But ‘something’ changed her. Maybe it was some kind of political algebra, but I dont think so. I think she really did evolve in some ways. Again, she didnt become a ‘leftist’ (see her views on Venezuela) but she did change on some big topics. Its there in her record and her statements if you dig into it.
I cut and pasted her RECENT stances on issues. Look at them. This is not Obama. (If it were Obama-Hillary the deep state would LOVE her)

vI’m not that into science. I just think everything should defer to it at all times no matter the cost.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go into the back yard and perform the rite of the gathering and mulching of leaves. I must complete the rite before the Gibbous Moon ascends beyond Mercury and Venus on October 29th or my chi will be irrevocably misaligned.

I was standing in line at a bakery, and someone was listening to a podcast named “Lore,” and they told me that on this podcast they learned that back in the 20’s, when there were still public executions, there were people who saved the dead-murderer’s blood. And the blood was ingested by epileptics because it was thot to cure epilepsy.
I just thot I’d throw some science at you.

vwvParticipantIn most polls Tulsi gets ONE percent of the vote.
w
vWhich unfortunately could mean that she has the support of 95% of the true left.
I don’t dislike her. I just don’t agree with her stance on nuclear power. She’s a little too trigger happy with respect to Muslims too.
===================
Well who knows, but I would think of all the Dem candidates, she’d be the least likely to Bomb random Muslims around the world.
I notice you havent buzzkilled Marianne Williamson. Now it all fits. You pretend to be Mr Science but in reality you love the New Age Wooo.

vwvParticipantThe true left doesn’t seem to like Gabbard or Warren.
Is that true? I like Gabbard, she’s one of the most articulate gub’mint people I ever knowed of. And I like her a lot of her views. I never saw her as equivalent to Warren.
=======
I guess it just depends on who you call ‘the true left’ 🙂 In most polls Tulsi gets ONE percent of the vote.
I guess now i can finally admit the truth — I’m part of the ONE percent.

vwvParticipantwvParticipantPeter Coffin on Tucker Carlson and stuff
wvParticipantRobinson’s point is that she isn’t really “owning” ANY of her history. She ought to be saying, “Yes, I was a Republican, and I supported these things, but God knocked me off my horse while on my way to Damascus, and now I’m a progressive.”
Instead, she is trying to say she was really progressive the whole time, and there is no way she can get away with that.
Whereas… Sanders… has always been what he is today, in spite of the enormous unpopularity of his positions over the past 4 decades.
===================
She’s Obama. There’s worse things. He never once, in 8 years, fought the system.
She wont either.

So true. When will a politician actually say “I’m fighting for poor people.”
Fighting for the poor is, like, fucking anathema to politicians and the voters.

vOctober 21, 2019 at 5:23 pm in reply to: (must read?) Ramsey removed handcuffs from Rams’ defense #107109wvParticipantI have this fantasy that they looked awe full because the rams coverage and pass rush completely turned the corner in one week and are suddenly the next best thing to the 85 bears.
It could happen…
Actually, if Fowler continues to improve, they might end up being pretty good. 🙂
=========================
Well i think the D ‘is’ good. I think it was good with Talib and Peters, and i think it will be good with Ramsey and Hill and company. (and yes Ramsey looks like he’ll give Wade the ability to take more chances, etc)
But heck i think the whole Ram team is good — except for the OLine. (I’ve been impressed with Henderson the RB. He’s stronger than I thot. I just dont know if he can hold onto the ball. He looks a bit wide-eyed and reckless…)
I just cant see them beating good teams, with good defenses with this OLine. I mean, thats what they will have to beat to go anywhere — good-teams-with-good-defenses.
What did you think of Gurleys play, Sunday? Has he lost his burst or is it the blocking? Henderson looked so much more energized.
w
vOctober 21, 2019 at 2:33 pm in reply to: (must read?) Ramsey removed handcuffs from Rams’ defense #107093wvParticipantAnd Atlanta has a good OL. Their LOT for example is Jake Matthews, the guy everyone says the Rams should have taken instead of Robinson. That offense was 2nd in the league in passing before Sunday.
….
=====================
Well, they sure didnt look like a good OL. They looked awful.
w
vwvParticipantOctober 21, 2019 at 12:14 pm in reply to: (must read?) Ramsey removed handcuffs from Rams’ defense #107085wvParticipantSo what was Talib, chopped liver?
I dunno. Ramsey was beat on that long pass that Julio dropped. I know Ramsey is great, but i think that game was more about Atlanta’s OLine.

vOctober 21, 2019 at 11:22 am in reply to: Peter King: do the Rams trade-crazy ways signal a new NFL trend? #107077wvParticipant“…Two: It probably depends on the development of Jared Goff more than anything else, because no one wins everything without very good play out of the quarterback….”
—————–Maybe, but I’d say it depends on building a playoff caliber Offensive Line.
Nothing is more ignored in the Football-sports-media than the OLine. Its the most important unit in football and it just dont get ratings in the Media.
George Allen must have been ahead of his time.
That was a good article btw. I dont think the Rams Way is unsustainable. I dont think the ‘other’ way is bad, either. Always more than one way to build a team. But you ‘have’ to hit on a critical mass of players.
And then they have to stay healthy. Itz all purty chaotic, and unpredictable. Which makes New England’s long run proof-positive that they made a deal with Satan.w
vwvParticipantOne of the sites on that list. Chapo Trap House is the name of a podcast.

wvParticipantDo you have Game Pass, WV? Or did you tape it via the Sunday Ticket?
This is my first season in aeons without the Ticket. Bummed that I couldn’t watch the game as it happened.
In limbo now . . . debating whether or not to get Game Pass. The Rams will likely be on local TV five more times this season. Maybe another game or two at a sports bar. But it’s much more enjoyable for me to relax in my own home.
I wish the NFL would diversify and offer other options beyond Game Pass and Directv. I’d be happy if I could just hook up with LA channels. Limit my out of market watching to just the Rams. I don’t need to see all the other games . . . but that’s not an option.
I thought capitalism was supposed to be all about competition!!
;>)
=================
I cant afford all that satellite tv stuff, but I can afford Game Pass. I love it. I dont ever have to watch the Rams lose 🙂
Game Pass is perfect for me. I like being able to watch the game whenever i want, as well as any parts of any other game. Sometimes i like to watch the last ten minutes of the best games, etc.
…Goff ‘just missed’ four big throws in the first half. I dont know what to think of that. All four passes were, like, two inches too long. You could say, he is very very close and will start making those throws at some point. Or, you could say the pressure has affected him and he is just gonna be ‘off’ this year. I dunno.
Oh, and how in the hell could the Falcons look so unprepared for the Hekker fake punt? Geez. If i was a falcon fan I’d wear a bag over my head.
Best case scenario for the Rams this year might be: Somehow they scratch and claw their way to wildcard contention. And avoid injuries. And near the end of the year, they get Talib and Johnson back. Think about ‘that’ defense, goin into the playoffs.

wiki: The Dying Earth, by J.Vance“…The stories are all set in an undefined far future Earth, when the sun is nearing the end of its life. The sky ranges from pink to deep blue, lit by a dim red sun, and many strange plants and animals exist. Much of the story is set… in the ruined cities that dot the landscape.
…. The characters in the stories are aware that they live on a “Dying Earth” and often make carefree, nihilistic references to the fact that their planet does not have much longer to live, assuming that the sun will soon burn itself out. It is never explained how long the Earth has left to live; it could be only decades….”

wvParticipanti watched the first quarter so far. Does it seem like Legatron never puts em through the middle anymore? Even the kicks he makes now always seem to be barely inside the uprights.
w
vwvParticipantGood for Peters. I think he started the same way with the Rams.
But I’d rather have a good solid ‘complete’ CB, at this point.
If the Rams can rebuild their OLine next year, they have a shot. The TE’s look good. WR’s look good. Defense in general looks good. Special teams look good. QB is good enough, imho. Is Henderson good enough? I dunno.
But its really just the OLine thats the glaring problem now. That can be fixed in one year.w
vwvParticipantThey need to schedule more one-win teams.
I get to watch this one now. I only watch the wins. That’s how i roll.

======================
Well, I dunno. Once the masses have been drenched in propaganda for decades I am afraid “non-capitalist” info just bounces off them, BT. I think propaganda changes their brains. If you dont think so, go talk to a mainstreamer and just give them some facts on any issue, and see what happens 🙂 The facts bounce off em.
And of course the facts ‘are’ out there. You read books on facts all the time. But its all drowned out by the MSM and the propaganda-state. In order to ‘get thru’ to the masses, I suspect you’d have to eliminate the MSM and THEN maybe after a few years of ‘deprogramming’ you might have a chance. I dunno.
Its academic at this point. And the proof is always at the ballot box.
