At this point, I want to see DG just as bad as SS... I don't want to see DW.

Watson is not the future, that we know.

What we don't know is if there is someone on the team that can be the future.. DG, SS and TG are all possibilities. I would like to see TG play an entire half of at least one of these games.

Re: Appeals court rules Trump can’t build White House ballroom without congressional approval PitDAWG 08/12/26 02:35 PM
Congress has never faced such a thing because previous presidents did it the right way rather than trying to do it by supreme decree.

If the court ruling holds trump can finish the underground part of the project but not the above ground ballroom. I have no idea what they can do about a president who thinks somehow he has the power to just destroy the east wing of The White House after he publicly stated this project would in no way effect the structure of it.

Quote
U.S. President Donald Trump said of the construction plan for a new White House ballroom, "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it."

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-white-house-ballroom-construction/

From tripling the budget of the ballroom itself to his promise not to damage the White House to claiming none of this would cost taxpayers a dime he has been lying about things connected to this project from the beginning. I'm not sure how you can anticipate or claim such things will happen in advance.

Republicans want to add $1 billion for Trump's ballroom security to ICE funding plan

https://www.npr.org/2026/05/06/g-s1-120455/republicans-trump-ballroom-billion

Thus far as I know of this has not been approved but I don't think we've heard the last of it.

IMO as of now he has a majority in both the house and the senate. I believe if he were smart rather than being stubborn, he would get some of his cronies in congress to propose a bill to approve it before the November mid term election. I don't know who will come out on top in that election but for now he controls both the House and the Senate and shouldn't have any problem getting their approval.

I'm not sure how you think this could have been "sorted" before it got underway. The lawsuit was filed back eight months ago on Dec. 12th and this is just how long it has taken to go through the legal process.

Yes Oct 7th was horrific. The response has been disproportionate. The targeting of hospitals, journalists (documented) and other such atrocities are genocide. The denial of water and food aid is genocide. There isn't any discussion about that, as you have indicated, essentially the world agrees - and you can't debate or discuss this with the people who are wrong and choose to deny it.

Ironic / Odd that many of those claiming it is not genocide are "Christian" ... I believe there is a passage in the bible about an eye for an eye that is entirely about proportional 'punishment' and completely undermines the idea of the sort of disproportionate response we have seen in Gaza.


Pay attention.

It has been 57 days (or about 8 weeks) since Senator Mitch McConnell was last seen in public, following his hospitalization and subsequent inpatient rehabilitation after a fall in mid-June 2026. While his office has released statements and photos, he has not made a physical public appearance.

Has anyone thought of placing his photo on milk cartons?

Re: Iran War... MoU and forward PitDAWG 08/10/26 02:36 PM
Trump says he’s ‘low-keying it’ on Iran: ‘It will work out’

President Trump said in a new interview he is “low-keying it” when it comes to the war with Iran as it nears its sixth month

“We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money,” Trump told Axios on Sunday.

The president also said Tehran’s economy “is in very bad shape” and that the country cannot compensate its forces.

“It will work out. It always works out. It’s like a chess game,” Trump said of tension between the U.S. and Iran.

With the war against Iran approaching the half-year mark, the fighting is straining U.S. relations with historic allies, raising the price of oil and gas amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and polling recently as unpopular among Americans.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.00 on Monday morning, with the average price being about $3.14 at this time last year.

Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, presented on Saturday his country’s key demands for the U.S. amid talks to reopen the strait. Iran and Oman have been taking part in discussions regarding the waterway.

Zolghadr in a message shared on state media pressed the U.S. to end its naval blockade in the strait, lift sanctions on Tehran and pay war reparations. He also demanded that the U.S. military withdraw from Iran and halt attacks on Tehran’s allies.

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/6019744-donald-trump-iran-war-strategy/

New day, new story. And it isn't even Tuesday yet. This excursion/conflict/war, Trump has repeatedly said from the very beginning would end “pretty quickly,” “very soon” and “pretty much, the very near future.” That has now, six months later, evolved into "low keying" it.

Re: WWII Tom Hanks bonefish 08/06/26 12:10 PM
There are parts of the series I have to fast forward.

I have seen more of the Holocaust than I want to see. I can't stomach it. What was done to Warsaw was heartbreaking.

The civilian casualties in WWII are staggering. It is interesting to see how the different countries involved treated their own civilian populations. Especially Russia, Germany, and Japan had completely different approaches.

The scale of the war and the logistics is unreal.

Re: Trump will speak on elections in primetime address after pushing debunked conspiracies PitDAWG 07/29/26 03:15 PM
This particular story has already been discussed in this forum. Only 400 out of those 6600 actually voted. No New jersey election was decided by 400 votes. Actually none where closer than several thousand votes.

So him posting that in response to "Can you specifically name one rigged election result" is just pure BS. But then again that's to be expected.

Re: DSA Platform PitDAWG 07/29/26 01:54 PM
One thing I am sure of is that the executive branch, mainly the president holds far to much power. How much power a president has is not the same as the time of the founding fathers. It has evolved and increased greatly over time. And that's not isolated to which party or who is president. As of today we see executive orders being written on an unprecedented level pushing the boundaries of the constitution and being overturned in our courts.

I'm certainly not going to say that I agree with everything they stand for. Yet I do understand when one side goes off the rails you will get a pushback that goes off the rails as well in reaction to that.

And that's where we are now. Extremism is taking over on both sides and we are all worse off for it. Surely you must have seen something like this coming in response.

Big money QBs make plays that win games or close-out games...big money DEs should do that as well...but realistically less-often.

My memory of MG will be much more of him jumping offside on 3rd/4th and short...and getting 2+ sacks in games that were essentially blowouts...rather than frequent plays that impacted the outcome of the game.
