Since 1978, only three teams have allowed under 150 points thru 11 games while maintaining a better point differential than this year’s Pats.

All three of those teams (the 1985 Bears, the 1991 Redskins, and the 1999 Rams) won the Super Bowl.

I’m next to positive that the last thing anybody needs is another Patriots Super Bowl victory.

I don’t see this as a playoff year.

Yeah, the Steelers game to me was the final nail in the coffin.

A playoff team cannot lose to Frisco at home with 4 days more preparation than they had, and cannot lose to the Steelers coming out of a bye.

It’s not just the math.

It’s the performance. This is a team with loose sprockets.

I think they should draft some new sprockets, and get a damn wrench in the off season.

I hate them.

Thing is, centrists offer nothing for the poor, the working class, or the middle.

They don’t even MENTION the poor. It’s always the Middle Class they are “fighting for.” Which, of course, means affluent white people who vote.

And even that is only lip service.

Trump’s numbers have not dropped, though, Billy. He has not lost a significant number of supporters, as far as we can tell.

And it is unclear to me whether the strong dislike for Trump extends into more votes for the Democrat. Are those people who really, really, really dislike Trump new voters? Or the ones who voted for Hillary anyway? The polls show a close race right now, with Biden, Sanders, or Warren all beating Trump by a slim percentage. Just as polls had Clinton favored by a slim percentage.

I think if the Democrats run the wrong candidate, they stand a very good chance of losing again. And it appears to me that the Democrats have completely failed to see why they lost in 2016. If they put up another run-of-the-mill candidate, they may lose again. I think the difference is still going to be in the 3 to 5 million votes range.

As you know, Hillary won the popular vote by nearly 3 million.

Well…consider that California cast 4.3 million more votes for Hillary than for Trump. Throw out California, and Trump won the popular vote. (I swear, we have to do EVERYTHING for this ******* country). So…I’m not seeing a mighty swelling of the ranks in the Ass party.

Good thing your other German Shepherd was with you to capture the moment on camera.

Nobody grew up a Ravens fan. They haven’t been around long enough. That’s nonsense.

Isn’t it?

My thought has been that the troops are irrelevant.

The troops weren’t there defending the Kurds. And Turkey has wanted to wipe them out for as long as I can remember, going back to Reagan, if not Carter. Not just in Syria, but in Turkey itself.

And our troops have been in Syria only 3 or 4 years.

It wasn’t the withdrawal of troops that opened the gates to Turkey’s attack of Kurds.

It was the withdrawal of the US’s diplomatic protection of the Kurds. Trump green-lighted the attack. Nothing to do with troops.

That’s my thinking, anyhow.

I haven’t heard that before. Did not know Obama could accurately define his positions like that. I always assumed that he believed he is progressive. So… give him credit for actually realizing that he is a moderate Republican. I guess.

Dore’s right.

I sometimes watch Maher’s videos. He is funny. And sometimes he hits it out of the park.

But Dore is right. Bill Maher is a standard-issue douchebag overall.

Thanks to Commiefornia which passed a law allowing this.

The NCAA had to follow suit, or every top athlete in the country would have committed to a California school.

The Rams are not as good as they were last year.

There’s time to get it right, but there is something wrong with this team.

Yeah, RT and the rest of it are just more ingredients in the kitchen to me. I care about their source, the same way I care about everything else, and I don’t dismiss anything out of hand. I just factor stuff in the best I can.

But I rarely watch ANY news source. I’m a reader. I choose what I want to read, and how carefully I read it, and I don’t have that kind of control over TV news.
