I didn't put a value on him.

I stated I liked where they drafted him in the 6th.



"IMO he was worth taking where he was selected."

The finer details of rich or richer are worth pointing out - but I don't think it alters the conversation or my point. In some ways I think that is might be a distraction or deflection.

I have not commented on redistributing wealth. I have not offered a solution. I have not said being wealthy is a sin or bad. I have stated factually that the wealth gap between the haves and the have nots is wider than it has ever been and it continues to grow. And that isn't a wealth gap between the out of work and welfare state recipients and the guys that work hard and your average "successful" graduate having a great career - it's the wealth gap between most - nearly all (80-85%?) and the ultra wealthy. Essentially in response to you suggesting that everyone with a 401K is doing alright (getting richer) I think it is actually important to realize and focus on who overwhelmingly benefits from market moves. If you want to have a conversation about whether that's good or bad. Fair or unbalanced. Justified or whether the 'game' is rigged - I'll happily discuss. But that wasn't the point made or the conversation that I started.

Interesting update:

Just yesterday, Jerome Powell announced that he would not step down before his term expires.
He also noted that he'd be staying on as a ranking board member for the foreseeable future.


It would seem that there is at least one person in the 202 who is willing to honor the commitment he made to The American Public.

Imagine that: the FED Chair stood up for principle and tradition, and said "no" to unrelenting pressure from the Executive Branch. Moreover, he actually committed himself to continue serving the public's interest after his term expires.

Dude just raised a massive "One Gun Salute" ...and thrust it straight in 47's eye... in front of the entire U.S.
"I'm still here... and I'll still be around."

Guts.
Principle.
Integrity.


In case you missed it:
Jerome Powell is a Donald Trump appointment.

I think the DOJ should investigate Kimmell and see what he knew or did not know about the terrorist that attempted to assassinate the President. His not funny sick joke implied to me that he may have known that the attack was going to happen.

It's hard YTown. I lost both of my parents decades ago. None of this is about me. But I thought I would share my experience and what helped me deal with it. The thing that helped me most was coming to grips with the fact that a long, drawn out grieving process is not what they would want for me. That the best thing I could do to honor them would be to honor their wishes. In order to do that I needed to live my best life and do it in a manner that would be respectful to how they would want me to live. I think it made me a better man and human being overall.

But that takes time. It doesn't happen overnight and each persons timeline is different. I know that doesn't really help you now with this all being so raw and so fresh. But hopefully in time it will be of service to you.

The bazaar scenario that may unfold is that after all this nonsense with Watson he may end up starting for us and help us become a winner this season. Only the Browns LOL😂

This wouldn't have happened if people hadn't elected a music artist as president.

Can Shenee play first base ??

I made the distinction between the two.

Way more information to make a mock than predict a new season.

1k comedians out of work and here you are trying to be funny.

You have been brainwashed.

If you didn't know this was a huge grift in like 2015 you had your head in the sand.


If you pay me to find cookies, when I run out of cookie to find, I'll start baking cookies. It's not complicated.

I have seen quite a bit through research but did not see a thing about snorkling.

That would be very cool. I know you can see active volcanoes and I knew about the tectonic plates.

But hey thanks. Sometimes people discover things that don't show up from Google searches.

Late Breaking News!

Trump announced from The White House today that he has officially appointed Captain Jack Sparrow in charge of opening the Strait of Hormuz. He said he was going to appoint Hannibal Lecter as Sparrow's top aid and advisor on opening the strait until he remembered that Lecter had died.

Senate Republicans push bill to authorize $400M for White House ballroom

“Underneath it will be a lot of military stuff. There will be a Secret Service annex and we pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees,” he said. “Private donations can be used but I think they should be used for buying [fine] china and stuff like that.” - Lindsey Graham (S.C.)

As per usual, a different day a different story......

Before I respond to the part I quoted, I want to say that I appreciate the convo. Also, the part I quoted is such a small portion of your post because of how close our two arguments are on the matter.

As far as the part I quoted, I would say that you can 'what if' anything to death if you wanted to. I could get shot walking out of work today, but I'm not going and grabbing law-abiding peoples' guns, right? So why here? And through answering the question of 'why', you have to somehow get past the complete lack of tangible evidence of fraud that rises to the level of taking away methods of voting.

I did a quick Google search, and clicked on the link below. There wasn't a ton of thought put into which link I clicked on other than it appearing to be the most legit.
https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/108824/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20190129-SD020.pdf

In that sampling, the largest bucket of voter fraud was associated with absentee ballots and duplicate registrations. Not mail-in ballots, or ballot drop-boxes, or hacked voting machines, or whatever other nonsense that gets discussed but isn't happening. I think (with the exception of voter ID, IMO) if the proposed election security actions lined up at all with the attempted fraud that we're seeing, then I'd have a much easier time getting on board with taking away peoples' preferred methods of voting.

Nice

I get that same message every time I try to access my brain.

Babe, finding rooms can be tough. Book ahead! Lexington is beautiful around the reservoir. The motorcycle race weekends are packed. Any favorite races? Not sure what is still run. Good pit passes if you like that end of things. Go safe! Enjoy.

I don't think he is lying. That implies that he knows the truth and is purposely saying something different.
I don't think he is smart enough to know that other countries have birthright citizenship.

Bump.

Still millions of missing files/pages from the Epstein files. Trump allegations all hidden and removed.

Funny how people will believe there is a paedophile sex ring with the Clintons out of a basement of a Pizza joint in Washington DC - or how the Clintons assassinate political rivals .... but when it comes to something that slaps you in the face, a poem about shared secrets and a signature from Donny .... there is disbelief.

This was a weak draft class for DTs . There is no Dexter Lawrence in the draft

Joke. Sarcasm.
