Re: Live updates: Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs, limiting president's power to impose taxes

Just saw something on the News.... Not sure I heard it correctly. But did Costco absorb the extra tariff costs? I mean they would then be owned a ton of money right?
Like I said, not sure I have that right It's possible though I doubt in total. That is going to be the legal quagmire that will last years. Maybe a decade or more. Company X had to pay more to impot French wine. How much extra money did they charge the consumer to help offset the tariff cost? We will probably never get to the bottom of that question.

My guess is that many things 2025 with this Browns offense will be taken with a skid-load of salt by the new coaches...nothing is to be guaranteed OR discounted. Was "it" the QB? OL? WR? Scheme? Playcalling? All of the above? They will make their own determinations.
I'm guessing they try and trade for J Winston...the other pickings are either too slim...too iffy...or too expensive. If that is so, I think they trade Gabriel.
Berry needs to get real good at what has been his glaring weakness for (6) years and counting.

Re: Our Economy is Collapsing

Inflation rose to 8% in 2022 during the pandemic. That type of inflation was on a global scale and not limited to the U.S.
Biden did not set "global" policies. In December of 2024 the inflation rate was 2.9%. That was the last full month Biden was president.
I'm not so sure why anyone would think that after Biden lowered the inflation rate from 8% in 2022 to 2.9% in December of 2024 that's it's still his fault that trump has barely managed to move the needle. Because some items won't be able to drop all that much. You have to remember their was a massive push to increase wages across the board. While the price of eggs has come down because chicken populations have risen, wages haven't. It's hard to reduce wages. The reality is once prices escalate, they rarely ever revert back to a previous level except for possibly new technology that starts high then usually drop.

Harden is a great passer.
Super impressed by what Ellis and Schroeder bring.
The Cavs are deep and have many options for matchups.
This is going to be a fun ride watching them.

Short track is just Absolute Chaos on Ice with knives strapped to your feet. I've only been able to watch a couple of runs, but it's just absolutely insane. All of the little cones marking the track get knocked all over the place, you can't tell where the track is anymore, bodies are sliding into walls constantly..... it really is just a battle of attrition. And a Polish skater took a blade to the face today.

I don’t believe JOK will play another down in the NFL. He had a compressed spine, and continuing to play in the NFL with that sword hanging over your head is not worth the risk.

Re: Tennessee House passes bill saying same-sex marriages do not have to be recognized
oobernoober
02/20/26 06:04 PM
That is Awesome!!! Good for Tennessee. I hope it passes. Why do you care who other people marry? If you don't like gay marriage don't get gay married. Why do you think others who believe differently than yourself don't deserve the same rights as you do? I just ant to see if you'll be honest about it. People choose to be gay. They are nothing more than sexual deviants and should not be celebrated and given special rights. Marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman. Who someone sleeps with is none of my concern but condoning marriage outside of the boundaries it was created to have is a problem. How is that for honesty? Marriage (in the sense we're discussing here) is the legal process of getting married. Not the religious. We have separation of church and state, so the Bible has no legal standing in deciding who can and can't be legally married.

Re: Browns hire new Special Teams Coach
oobernoober
02/20/26 05:51 PM
Taking specialists out of the pay equation, Kicker, Punter, Long Snapper. They have roles, but they are minimal... In this case of punt coverage, Bojorquez was only 24th in punt average, so we were low as a punter AND low as a coverage team. Average pay per special teams player: $1,561,168 - Commanders $1,393,707 - Colts $1,109,901 - Browns
League minimum for 3yrs or less accrued experience in 2025 - $1,100,000 While I didn't put a ton of time into it, this is what I was searching for the other day and kept running into the numbers of our specialists (kicker/punter/LS). So thank you for finding and posting that up. Also, your post about penalties was illuminating. I did not realize we were on the one end of the ST penalty rankings. Thank you for posting that. I can definitely see how those two things point to roster vs coaching regarding our ST woes. Now I'm wondering if that $400k difference in average pay was us not having that "ST ace" on the roster (ex. Cribbs, who was as good a gunner as he was a returner).

I do think the defense takes a step back... if nothing else then because we have struggled to get our talented groups to perform consistently year-to-year Huh ? The defense is going to take a step backwards , because the Browns have struggled to get their talented groups to perform consistently year to year is what you just said. Well if that is what happened under Stephanski and Schwarts then glad they are gone. Who in the heck wants coaches who make the team struggle ? I love the shake up I hope there is a new energy in the building Will it pan out, No one knows

Former Prince Andrew was arrested this morning. And
The state of New Mexico has begun an investigation into Epsteins ranch in New Mexico and is also investigating whether emails in the files are true that there are young girls buried at his ranch. They have asked the doj for unredacted files for their investigation There is also new reporting today that indicates that the DOB hid Trumps involvement on a Rape..... Stay tuned....I'm betting it will ether be debunked or will end up as Front Page News

Trump Explodes With Rage After Bad Bunny Wins Nobel Peace Prize WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a series of furious Truth Social posts late Wednesday night, Donald J. Trump blasted the Norwegian Nobel Committee for awarding its Peace Prize to the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. Trump claimed that he had been “treated very unfairly” by being passed over for the award despite having ended “between forty and fifty wars.” “Bad Bunny could Never end even One War because he speaks a Language no one Understands!” Trump thundered. In another setback for Trump, Bad Bunny’s birthday will be honored each year with a new national holiday in Greenland. https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/tr...Nhd0uhhYPmSKV_aem_mS4IHogq1H3celpu2FFUCA

So just to be sure of what we all already knew - Trump's racist remarks about Obama were his and his alone. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/she-said-karoline-leavitt-just-050951878.htmlAnd just so we're clear - if you say and post racist things ... it makes you a racist. I mean, as if not allowing black employees in certain positions in your businesses wasn't enough, or ordering them off the casino floor and for them to be non-visible when you visit.

Re: Robert Duvall

02/18/26 10:13 PM
Since his passing many in the movie business have come forward and given tributes.
I have seen him interviewed many times. The one role that was hard on him was The Great Santini.
He came from a strict military father and the role haunted him. He was so good as the character Bull Meechum.
He loved "Tango" the dance and married a gal who is a terrific tango dancer. He wrote and directed the movie Assassination Tango and it was during the filming he met his future wife.
He said it took him ten days to read Lonesome Dove and 16 weeks to film it. And that was the best time in his life and his favorite role.
He will always remain in my eyes as the character Augustus McCrae.

Re: GOP lawmaker joins Democrat-led effort to limit Trump's pardon power

Yeah, that's exactly what I posted directly above your post. In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this.
To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
We can't get both parties to agree what color the sky is on any given day.

RIP Jesse Jackson. I wanted to post about him yesterday but this thread is in the Everything Else forum. It's virtually impossible to talk about his life and legacy without it being centered around religion, civil rights and politics. None of which topics are to be discussed in this forum. Other than his family, those three things were the centerpieces oh his life.

i love Technology... I like seeing advancements.
But like all tech before this, we need a watchdog to make sure it doesn't hurt us more than it helps us.
I don't trust this administration to oversee anything. Trump has proven over and over again that he cannot be trusted..He will do what's best for himself and his family and his wealthy buddies. The rest of us are not worth his time.
It's already being used to change perception of reality. Geesh What part don't you understand What part makes you think Ballpeen does or doesn't understand? Geesh
