Yes - Hamas is 100% at fault. What they did was evil.

It does not justify the starving of innocents. It does not justify the slaughter of thousands of babies. And since you claim to be religious, albeit some warped sick sort of retribution style of god worship, all those babies are God's children, innocent as the day is long. Whether you like it or not - there are international laws in place for all countries even in times of war. Both Putin in Ukraine and Netanyahu in Gaza have pissed all over them and have committed attrocities. In Gaza it easily meets the definition of genocide whether you want to stick your head in the sand or not. Facts are facts.

Well before the election - and right through the Obama and Biden administrations, I kept hearing from Republicans/MAGA how the USA should not be active around the globe trying to police the world and keep it secure. "We shouldn't police the world" was a very popular statement from many on the right. We should protect our borders, spend our money on the betterment of the USA. Focus on home. But now - Trump is actively trying to promote regime change in multiple different countries, he's given Argintina $40B - for now really justiable reason. He's talked about taking some sort of stake in Gaza, Greenland (and we'll overlook the childish rhetoric and trolling of Canada) - he's commiting piracy on the ocean and dangerously close to starting a war with Venuzuala, a country that does not produce 99.9% of the drugs in the USA. Why are drugs impotant ? Because that is the bogus justification for the (probably illegal) targeting and killing of people who **might** be running drugs to the USA. . . . All of those things fly in the face of the concept of focusing on the USA.

And I mention all that because MAGA will somehow justify all of it by drinking the Trump BS, also known as Koolaid. Just like someohow there are MAGA supporters who think Trump is right to try to pardon this individual even though it flies in the face of everything we previously accepted as the norm regarding States Rights.

It's interesting - because I agree with you. Trump does act like an entitled petulant child.

However Memphis's post was more about supporting Trump's "right" to say something awful. The emphisis wasn't on the Fox presenter criticizing the POTUS, it was on a comedian's opinion that we all have a first amendment right to say awful things.... Memphis was enabling and justifying Trump's inapropriate comments.

Congrats Arch and Brian

I feel like Burrow may be about twelve months from dancing with the Stars and American Eagle jeans commercials.

I was just poking you in the ribs a bit. I too think he pretty much sucks.

Not worthy of a new thread, but more like franchise news.

What the heck is going on in Cincinnati? Burrow sounds like he's ready to leave (not "having fun"), product on the field is crap, stadium sucks.

This week they didn't even bother to clear snow and ice from the day before and that mess was there for fans at a game time wind chill of -1. Didn't even clear the handicap seats. Fans reported taking a solid hour to enter south gate with only two lanes flowing and NO vendors open once they got in.

I agree. I think this is best for him.

He's quite young but cool under pressure.

Would be thrilled to have the Browns draft him barring any last minute Phil Knight Brinks trucks.

Not odd, can’t stand him, don’t want him here. I been one toe in one toe out since the BS with Baker, won’t take much more.

Nope. It’s because after his first term he was universally despised and wants payback. The pettiest man alive.

And when it's white people he will attempt to create a genocide that doesn't exists..................

The good news is that if all the retirements take place in January, the house will flip before that funding deadline. The bad news is Trump will hurt working class and poor Americans if dems don’t play ball just like last time.

Saddest crap I’ve ever seen watching the muddled minds try and figure out what their support got them… So many are still figuring it out. Of course it’s way too late to change their vote but seeing maga leave in droves is heartening.

Haslam didn't hire Heckert.

Easy to say and I do understand the motivation, but it isn't realistic. You can't have 5-6 rookies filling your O line group as an example.

I always remember back to the murmurs we were hearing about Mangini and Daboll (our OC). Accountability, yes... but it also got really weird. There's a blurb out there from a vet that through Berea like a tumbleweed, and he described a bunch of weirdness going on, particularly on the offensive side. For some reason, Mangini and Daboll were really grinding on Colt McCoy to the point where it made some of the older players uncomfortable.

Just saw this -

Congrats to those that have quit or cut down - it's (probably) the best thing you can do for your health. No matter the hardship or how ever many times you "fail" - don't give up. Relapses happen and aren't permanent and do not mean that quitting is impossible.

Having gone from 20-30 a day at my worst, I tried several times to quit but honestly was always looking forward to the one or two I allowed myself at the bar or with a coffee etc. When I finally quit it was me telling myself that I actually wanted to quit - as opposed to me telling myself I should quit. The difference was immediate - went cold turkey from smoking to not smoking. I think the mental side of things was the number 1 aspect to get right for me personally.

Regarding how many times we have to get up in the night to go pee - it was getting to be 3 times a night this year. I had been trying to drink a blended whole lemon each day (peel, pith, seed and all - very healthy and has significant anti-inflamatory properties) and it made a difference but it's a pain in the ass to blend every day. Did a bit more research and another option I found which is working to the point if I take thre tablets a day per the dosage I can go through the night without getting up even after a few of beers/glasses of wine. Stinging Nettle capsules .... https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/stinging-nettle-capsules .... it might help you even if you add it to your THC options. Has been quite the revelation for me.

I don't feel sorry for him, but tragic none the less.

Eo was a ray of sunshine we sorely needed here. RIP

ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND—In a move that sent liquor prices soaring on global markets, on Thursday Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the seizure of a Scottish tanker carrying single-malt whiskey.

“Despite my repeated demands, the tanker refused to deliver its cargo to me,” Hegseth said. “You can ask anyone who knows me: Pete Hegseth will not be cut off.”

Hegseth, who ordered the seizure via a late-night Signal text riddled with typos, said he hoped his action would deter other shippers who dare to threaten his alcohol supply.

“The seizure of this tanker sends a clear message,” he said. “If anything is going to be loaded with whiskey, it’s me.”

This becomes a conversation every year. And you're correct. The worst NFL team would beat the best college team like a college team would beat a JV highschool team. It's not close. Of all the leaps, the leap from college to pro is easily the biggest. Almost everyone on the team was an absolute star of their college and high school teams. Yes, some people blossom later or are in bad situations and thus don't get scouted or drafted and they walk on etc etc. But most of them, if they were held a year or two behind or in a different situation, would have been the star of the team.

It's kinda reminds me of the men's vs women's tennis argument from years ago. There used to be a lot chatter about how the best women could stack up to men. I mean, the women got a LOT stronger in the 90's and 00's and eyeball test says it's possible, right? That was until the Williams sisters, who were ranked as the top women, said they could beat any man ranked lower than 200. They played the 203rd ranked man and he beat them in succession 6-1, 6-2. And it wasn't even as close as that would make it seem. Point being.. it looks like a top tier college team could challenge an NFL team. Um, actually no.
