To bad you believe ALL rookie QB's should be judged on a few games. I'm really (no need for purple) looking forward to seeing just which NFL team hires you to lead their franchise to Multiple Super Bowl wins.

Really another DPOTY for MG coming up!

I've been following Kangaroo Black for a few years now. I'm not a bama fan, but he is one entertaining guy who isn't afraid tell it like it is. As you can tell, he also hates Xichigan.

I think I keep Andre Szmyt. He's been solid.

Cavs have gone the way of the Browns. Soft, no heart.

Their leader takes games off so he doesn't get tired later in the season. They act like every game doesn't matter. Then later in the season he gets tired and hurt and will miss the most important games of a series as if it's no big deal. Sitting on the sidelines in street clothes acting like a cheerleader. There's a reason Shaq has never been a Mitchell fan. Other players know. People in the know, know. And this team takes on the unserious personality of their leader.

That and believing Mobley was ever going to be the best player on this team are the two biggest problems with the Cavs.

They lost to a depleted Celtics team tonight. Gave up over 40 points to Pritchard. That's not a typo. Really disheartening.

I want a refund on my league pass.

So trump said " As an example, millions of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for "prey" as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone" and used a derogatory term for mentally challenged that no adult should be using . What a disgrace

I can confirm, as I am sure many others can. I heard on the radio driving home.

I didn't think he played well last year but I only watched him in games against good teams. When he was touted as a top 5 pick at the beginning of the season I was very surprised. I looked upo his stats and was surprised to see he threw for a lot of years and TDs. Then I looked at game vs game, and he really had big days against bad teams, and I read he completed 48% of his passes against "good teams" I don't know if that meant winning records or top 25 ranked teams.

According to Republicans everything they disagree with is dangerous and every immigrant is a threat. It's been used as a weapon throughout history to label everything the evil are against as a tool to place a target on their backs. And the foolish follow along blindly.

And you post this as the president actually calls for violence against them.

I totally understand.

President Donald Trump on Friday continued his effort to delegitimize actions taken during Joe Biden’s presidency, claiming in a social media post that he is “cancelling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed” by his predecessor.

Trump’s declaration, made in a post on Truth Social, raises a number of questions. Chief among them, whether he has the legal authority to rescind the former president’s actions on the basis he described.

“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect,” Trump wrote, without specifying what falls under that 92%.

“The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” he added.

Trump further claimed that Biden “was not involved in the Autopen process” and warned that “if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.”

“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote in his post.

Biden has publicly disputed that there was any “cover-up” by his administration, saying he made all decisions as president and calling Republicans who have suggested otherwise “liars.”

Trump has long fixated on Biden’s use of the autopen. In March, he leaned into the idea that the former president’s use of the tool to sign documents showed that he wasn’t in charge while in the White House and that his actions were “null and void.”

At the time, conservative executive authority scholar John Yoo suggested to CNN that Trump was “just having fun at Biden’s expense.”

Trump later ordered an investigation into Biden’s use of the autopen and its supposed links to the former president’s “cognitive decline.”

In 2005, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (under Republican President George W. Bush) conducted an extensive review of the legality of a president using the autopen. It found that “the President need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill to sign it within the meaning of Article I, Section 7.”

Trump has most often focused his autopen theory on Biden’s pardons. But there too, established legal advice from past administrations undermines the claim. A 1929 memo from the US solicitor general noted that the Constitution didn’t even prescribe a method for issuing pardons.

A separate congressional probe asserted it remained a serious question as to whether Biden was aware of the substance of various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, but it did not cite any direct evidence that anyone other than Biden made the decisions that his staff later put into effect.

King trump has decreed it is so! So shall it be? And some of you claimed Biden was off his rocker.

In November 2025, a Senate resolution (S.Res. 486) specifically reaffirming that "criticism of the President is not only lawful but essential to democracy" was blocked by a Republican senator using a procedural objection.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass.) after President Trump suggested on social media that commentary criticizing him was "probably illegal".

Details of the Event:

The Resolution: S.Res. 486 aimed to condemn the President's suggestion and reaffirm the fundamental importance of free speech under the Constitution.

The Action: Senator Markey sought unanimous consent to pass the resolution quickly in the Senate. Unanimous consent is a procedural move that allows a measure to pass so long as no senator objects.

The Objection: Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) objected to the unanimous consent request, thereby blocking the immediate passage of the resolution. No argument was reportedly made against the resolution itself, but the objection prevented a quick, broadly supported vote.

Context: This incident is part of a larger ongoing political debate regarding the limits of free speech and political dissent, especially in response to comments made by the President and the subsequent threats faced by the lawmakers involved. Other Republicans, such as Senator Rand Paul, have publicly criticized the President's rhetoric as "reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible".

This specific incident involved a procedural maneuver that prevented a vote on the resolution, rather than a recorded vote against the substance of the bill by the entire Republican caucus.

Murica! Freedumb!

Donald Trump has said that he will pardon the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of drug trafficking charges in a US court last year.

The US president said Hernández had been "treated very harshly and unfairly" in a social media post announcing the move on Friday.

Hernández was found guilty in March 2024 of conspiring to import cocaine into the US, and of possessing machine guns. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump also threw his support behind conservative presidential candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura in the Central American nation's general election, due to be held on Sunday.

Hernández, a member of the National Party, who served as Honduras's president from 2014 to 2022, was extradited to the US in April 2022 to stand trial for running a violent drug trafficking conspiracy and helping to smuggle hundreds of tons of cocaine to the US.

He was convicted by a New York jury two years later.

Polls indicate the Honduran election remains a toss-up between three candidates including Asfura, the former mayor of Tegucigalpa and leader of the conservative National Party.

Also in the running is Rixi Moncada, a former defence minister standing for the ruling left-wing Libre Party, and Salvador Nasralla, a television host with the centrist Liberal Party.

Trump criticised Moncada and Nasralla on Friday, writing that the latter was "a boderline Communist" who was only running to split the vote between Moncada and Asfura.

He characterised Asfura as "standing up for democracy" and praised him for campaigning against Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, with whom Trump has engaged in a war of words in recent months.

Nasralla has pledged to cut ties with Venezuela if he wins.

The Trump administration has accused the left-wing Maduro - whose re-election last year was dismissed as illegitimate by many countries - of being the leader of a drugs cartel.

It used countering drug trafficking as a justification for a military build-up in the Caribbean and has conducted strikes on vessels it says have been used for smuggling - though some analysts have described these moves as a means of pressuring Latin American leaders.

Honduras has been governed since 2022 by President Xiomara Castro, who has forged close ties with Cuba and Venezuela.

But Castro has maintained a co-operative relationship with the US, agreeing to preserve a long-running extradition treaty with it. Her country also hosts a US military base involved in targeting transnational organised crime in the region.

More than 80 people have been killed in the US strikes on vessels suspected of being involved in the transport of narcotics since they began in August.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said the aim of "Operation Southern Spear" was to eliminate "narcoterrorists".

But legal experts have questioned the legality of the strikes, pointing out that the US has provided no evidence that the boats it has targeted were carrying drugs.

Blow them up or give them pardons? Maybe it has to do with which tax bracket they are in?

I hope all you turkeys had a Great Thanksgiving.

The truth escapes you.

thanks guys - almost forgot my picks for the week. happy thanksgiving

I agree that time will tell. As I'm sure it is with you, I hope for the best and will be looking for improvement.

Somebody get the phone will ya!

It'll only be good for a while - then the Russian farm bots will figure out a way to look like they are from the USA.

But once again - MAGA doesn't care that half of what they swallow in their echo chamber was spawned by, invented by Russians or others simply wanting to undewrmine the USA.

I wish we had the "like" feature for this thread.

Sometimes there is some real joy in this world....

I'm certainly a part of the "criminals should be punished crowd". I'm just not partial about which criminals get punished and whether they wear a uniform or not.
