Yeah, I think it’s the only answer. Bash on, regardless.

We needed Sanders decades ago. We’re past that now.

We’re now looking at a grim future no matter what. Which grim future is better?

I don’t know. But like flood waters coursing through a German town, there isn’t much hope of directing the current.

So now I’m finished with similes for the day.

Ya got lung cancer, and you see two doctors. One emphasizes that you have the right to smoke, and should be able to smoke in the hospital in spite of the snowflake policies against it. The other doctor tells you not to smoke, and gives you pain medication. Neither rolls you into the operating room to remove the tumor.

One doctor is preferable to the other, even though the end result is you are going to die anyway. Of course, removing the tumor is the only sensible thing to do, but there is still a difference in your experience of your final days.

Trump actively promoted misery. He emboldened racists, and hate crimes rose under his influence. He would be happy to see the country fall into a civil war. He incited a coup, and blessed the assassination of his own Vice President. He brought out the worst in people. Biden isn’t doing enough to put out any fires, but at least he isn’t fanning the flames.

That’s the end of all my analogies and metaphors for the day.

I;m not being weird btw, I just remember those discussions is all. We were all very good at helping each other reality test the Obama election.

Yeah, I remember. We also posted opensecrets stuff about where his donations we coming from. I remember well. Back in 2008, I still had some hope that we could reverse course, and he “had the goods.” At this point, it’s hard to know who is most to blame for destroying us all. So many candidates – Powell, Rand, Reagan, Weyrich, Murdoch, Clinton, Kochs, and so on. And Obama.

But it’s over now. There will be no swing back to even an FDR-level of less terrible capitalism as long as the government remains capable of governing. They are privatizing water, militarizing the border, and turning the police into an army to destroy the inevitable uprising, and that’s where we are headed now. There will be no savior from within.

“Thuney is up there on the shortlist of OL who have performed best against Donald over the years. Really nice set & hands from Thuney here to sell being aggressive to disrupt Donald’s timing (getting him to cross-chop air) before riding him past the QB 1v1.”

I forgot.

Why do we let Patriots fans post here again?

Here’s the thing I don’t understand about God.

When somebody claims that the investigation into a political coup is “politically motivated,” why aren’t they instantly struck with lightning?

EDIT: He has many tattoos.

Looks sketchy to me.

Why is SportsCenter spelled differently than @SpotsCentre?

That’s a fake account.

would gurley even want to come back?

Dunno, but he has to have faced reality by now. The Rams didn’t screw him. They are the reason he has as much money as he has, and he has to know it was because of his knees, and he hasn’t exactly proven them wrong in their diagnosis.

So I bet he can be lured back with a chance to play again for McVay in a reduced role, and take a shot at a Super Bowl.
