reasonable speech so far, he's not saying anything outlandish really
So he’s not talking about ending trade ties with the US?

How will he do that by opposing the actual "more government" we are seeing with tariffs?
In a vacuum it wouldn’t. But obviously you can’t assess these things in your over-simplistic little vacuums.

All you're doing is explaining the emotional talking points they invested in as NPCs to justify their reversal of support of small government. You're not actually making a logical point in reality
Nah. Using the tariff example, a favorable deal between the US and all trading partners is a good thing in part. It would set the stage for future deals that could be reduced tariffs among both nations with a baseline for fairness. Plus, it would serve as a negotiating tool for any geopolitical issue moving forward.
That reality could EASILY be used to move closer to Rands idealistic preferences in the future.
As things sit now, the US is getting very little out if it’s biggest bargaining chip.
You can’t se any of this because you can’t see past your nose and choose to focus within it vacuum. And you do it because your emotion has already decided that Rand must be right.

He’s very wrong. Canada needs the US massively more than the US needs Canada. He should be bashing his opposition and selling himself as a deal maker that can handle Trump, not doing nothing for a long time then picking up a pom pom and standing behind his opponents and cheering on their anti Trump rhetoric. He’s not helping himself.
Bingo.

More government it is, then.
As I mentioned, Rand will accidentally enable more government…maybe total government.

The "conservatives" who actually support smaller government have sure become an endangered species since 2016.
Nah. They have just accepted the reality that the fed gov is too far gone and the only method of change is a slow one where piece by piece we get it back.

but dont get mad because someone sticks to the same principles they have always had. especially when in theory they are correct.
The problem is that the reality is the practical options don’t match the idealistic desire Rand has.
And in some cases, his idealism could result in a much worse outcome.
I respect Rand’s position. I respect and agree with most of his positions. But he has to pick his battles. Otherwise, best case he’s just kissing in the wind and worst case actually ushering in socialism or communism.
re: People that use scented air fresheners are a scourge on society

I hate air fresheners too.
I'm surprised so many people downvoted this. Guess I'm in the minority.

I gave more detail in the post to cracked-out Tacky. We don't need to go through all the teams and possible reasons, and he-said stories about meetings. If you really want to keep this fake thread going by talking about that, find someone else to do it with. I don't want to keep speculating about it at this time.
Like I said. You don’t have to know specifically what is true to know that every team passed on him multiple times for whatever reason that is.
And if that reason doesn’t change, he’s not going to be successful.
He’s probably at worst a 2nd round talent. Obviously, he can be successful.
But you’d be a fool to think he can keep doing what he did during the draft process and be successful. It just ignores reality.

I don’t think so. I love Gabriel as a college QB. But I don’t think he can be start in the NFL.

I don't have all those answers, and I'm not going to base anything on rumors/gossip. But let's look at the Steelers, since Tomlin did speak about meeting with Shedeur. Is the plan to go into 2025 with Aaron Rodgers? Nothing against ARod, but that's not a good plan based on what I saw with the Jets. They had an opportunity to build for the future with Shedeur. We'll have to see how everything goes. Franchises don't always make good decisions, especially regarding QBs. Some teams may have been dissuaded by an idea of who Shedeur is that isn't necessarily accurate. There have been a lot QB draft misses over the years. Not as many as the amount of fail posts on MSB about Shedeur and Colorado the past few years, though.
At this point, looking at this situation solely via a football lens is willfully ignorant.
Obviously, he was drafted below his football value. You don’t have to know the specific reason to acknowledge that there was one.
re: Will Shadeur make the Browns roster out of training camp?
Posted by moneyg on 4/28/25 at 7:25 am
If he brings to training camp what he brought to the draft process, he’s getting cut.
It’s kind of amazing how little he has seemed to care about what happened. That makes me concerned about whether he values the game as much as he values the image he wants to portray.
