Mr. Gurley has to decide between being a great football player or just being “Hollywood”.

Ironically, if he chooses “Hollywood,” he won’t be “Hollywood” nearly as long as if he chooses football.

Seems to me (shooting from the hip, here)the ‘system’ (whatever u wanna call it. i call it ‘corporotacracy’) gets-a-hold of americans the day they are born

1) dont know shit about anything other than sports or entertainment or video-games, etc, OR,
2 they become democrats who dont know shit about how the democrat-party destroys the poor, OR,
3 they become republicans who dont even CARE about the poor cause they blame the poor for being poor.

Now, granted,there’s lots of other small sub-groups, but them there three groups is enough to keep the system going, keep the Duplicats and Replicants in bizness, and doom the biosphere.

Someday perhaps there will be a giant tomb-stone on the earth, that will be visible from deepspace. And it’ll say, Democrats and Republicans did this.

Okay, so i am starting a new thread that says some things about this “marinade” people grow up in.

I think the only love in that relationship is between Trump and himself.

This is Brady/Billichek’s 7th Super Bowl. SEVENTH.

Is this the worst post-season ever?

The majority of these games have been uncontested.

2 good games. Steelers/Chiefs, Dallas/Packers.

..

Yep. Two. Out of ten.

I want the Rams to have Julio Jones.

That same thought went through my mind while I was watching the game.

First of all, I didn’t say the Clintons DID murder Rich. I said quite clearly that I don’t know. Your syllogism doesn’t match anything I said.

And the rush to dismiss conspiracy theories to avoid appearing like a loony sharing a bed with unhinged right-wingers is a bad position.

There are conspiracies. These things DO happen. It is naive to dismiss them all out of hand. Sure, conspiracy theories are dangerous vortexes that people get sucked into, and often get addicted to, but responding to that by dismissing all of them is an erroneous position masquerading as common sense. Be skeptical, sure.

Did it happen in this case? Dunno. Neither do you. And “C’mon, man, they wouldn’t do THAT” isn’t a good argument. It’s an open question, though not one I’m going to waste much time worrying about since the answer to that doesn’t really change anything anyway. Murdering somebody in a political coverup is a drop in the Potomac compared to wiping out Libya and Syria and Iraq etc. It’s a drop in the ocean of corporate/government malfeasance. So I don’t really care. But I certainly do not put it past them. These are people who have made decisions that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people…in the millions, probably. And destroyed millions more. But you think they wouldn’t kill a single American in cold blood. Really?

I wonder what would happen if the media responded to Trump’s insistence to decide who covers the White House and who doesn’t by not sending anybody at all. How great would it be if nobody showed up to a press briefing.

What we can’t acknowledge is any domestic political assassination.

I mean which one can we acknowledge? Name one.

Point is that there is tremendous antipathy for people on every part of the political spectrum to allow for even the thought to pierce the critical thinking veil. However, simple deductive reasoning leads us to the logical and inevitable conclusion that it MUST be happening here.

I am with Mackeyser on this. I think domestic assassination is one thing NOBODY wants to think about. But I don’t know why anyone would think these people have a single scruple. And I think that to take the position that they “wouldn’t risk it” is naive. The Clinton machine has connections (and not just the Clintons…the whole web of government and deep government). Get one of your people to place a call to somebody in law enforcement, or even national security, to take over a murder case…it would be easy. There are a lot of people in Washington DC who are trained to never ask questions from their superiors. Just do what you’re ordered to do. Clean up a crime scene, and dispose of it. End of story. I mean…you think Oliver North would have balked at a command to act outside the law? He testified before congress that he did, and that he was not only without remorse about it, he was proud of it.

Yes, these people would whack somebody in a heartbeat.

Where, exactly, they have done that, I have no evidence. But these are very bad people.

You think the Kochs, or Mercer, or Scaife, or any of these people would hesitate to rub somebody out? I don’t. I don’t think they would hesitate at all. They are quite happen to poison people, sell them life-threatening products, shaft them out of life savings without thinking twice. They are sociopathic. Total psychotic sociopaths.

My wife just informed me she is going to the march in Sacramento tomorrow.

Here’s what they learned:

Sure. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I started to read Coates’ piece in The Atlantic, and made it about 6 or 7 paragraphs into it, and just couldn’t take it.

I love this line: “liberal brains pickled in the formaldehyde of identity politics.”

That piece got off on the wrong foot with me, with it’s use of passive voice “It’s been reported…” and the derogatory use of “Fisher guys,” whatever that is supposed to imply.

Who reported this? Where does this come from? Looks a lot like speculation rather than inside information.

And why would you let Britt walk? Why not keep Britt AND get another WR through FA or the draft? Let Quick go. Britt is a good #2. Give him a buddy on the other side, and the Rams have a more imposing passing game.

And while it’s great that the draft is deep in DBs, it’s also deep in DEs – which is a need – and they don’t have enough picks to fill all the holes. I would keep Britt and Johnson if possible. Whatever deficiencies the Rams have, those two guys aren’t the problem.
