Genotype is the key question here. Is she XX?

It makes him look like an idiot,yes, also makes it clear he wasn’t out to kill agents and agents manage to interact with him without killing him or them getting injured…. Being a radicalized idiot isn’t a death sentence in America


I feel like we are living on separate planets or something. When did it become acceptable to assault, spit on, harass, obstruct, etc.. federal agents? Or any law enforcement? That it’s part of the job description? It is pure lunacy to do this unarmed, it’s a death wish to do it while armed. It actually should serve as a lesson to the other revolutionaries that if you behave this way towards law enforcement, especially if armed, there is a not zero percent chance you will die.
This is the end result of ridiculous Obamacare mandates requiring young healthy people to have coverage for everything because it isn’t ‘fair’ they don’t require as much health care as older, sicker people. Very popular low cost/catastrophic plans were outlawed. Add in absurd rules like mandatory maternity coverage for males, post menopausal women, and prepubescent children and this is what we get. Costs have skyrocketed for everyone.

No, but unfortunately our government does. Our government’s lenience should not extend to noncitizens.

and then once that's done we can focus on the 1.6%. Is that not fair and reasonable?


Because that’s 1.6% too much. We tolerate the other because they are citizens. The 1.6% are not citizens, should not be here in the first place, and should expect none of the tolerance we currently have for criminal US citizens.

2ndly, like I said if you are carrying you don’t go and seek out a fight with law enforcement. I don’t care if it’s directly against the law or not, it’s retarded to do and you are looking to commit suicide by cop if you do.


More than not seeking a fight, if you have a concealed carry permit you are supposed to disclose that to the officer and surrender your weapon. I’ve done this twice when pulled over. It’s actually gotten me out of a speeding ticket both times.

Gone are the days when singers and bands had to start from scratch, pay their dues and hope to be discovered. Then, only the cream rose to the top. Go watch the Bon Jovi documentary and that’s how it used to be. Guys scraping by, honing their talents for years, just hoping for a shot.


This is true and why grunge was such a radical departure from previous music styles. Eddie Vedder was working in a gas station and Chris Cornell was couch surfing at his apartment in their early days. The music blew up into an organic cultural movement that couldn’t be controlled by the industry, which I don’t think will ever be allowed again.

Probably. Like when he filmed himself walking the halls of daycare facilities with no children and no daycare.
I think it would be the most Falcons move ever to trade a first round pick for LaFleur who is a worse coach than Mike Smith who they fired in 2014. I think LaFleur has been elevated by an excellent front office and organization in Green Bay.

Edit: Appears this thread has the anchor? MSB?
Matt LaFleur, according to Albert Breer

Anyone but Kubiak or Harbaugh. Even better if ATL trades a first to GB for him.

Calm down cowboy. It’s Saturday night. Chances are the people here purporting to be surgeons are kind of a big deal in their towns and have real world knowledge to share. Elon is hopelessly off base here. We’ll have people on Mars well before we have fully autonomous surgery.
quote:

We will not have fully autonomous, AI driven robotic surgery in 3 years. Not even close


Right. We don’t have autonomous driving yet. On top of that, we are in a surgeon workforce shortage that worsens every year. I am a surgeon, and the number of on the fly decisions I make in surgery with a real life human being in my care on the table is incredible. Human beings are not robots, we are all different, and the potential for something to go wrong at any second is always there. Love Elon, but he’s very wrong on this. I’d rate surgery as one of the most AI proof fields.

starting LT in Banks
starting QB in Shough
Broughton was injured but still high on him
Sanker can be a NFL starter
Stutsman can be a NFL starter
Riley can be a NFL starter
Neal battled some injuries
Mateveo and Diggs both spent time on the roster


It’s an amazing draft, and one that averaged a C+/B- grade by supposed draft gurus. Remember that in April. The one pick nearly everyone hated was Shough, who is a top 10 qb RIGHT NOW with no weapons at all and a porous line. Our whole strategy changed, and instead of looking at diamonds in the rough, small school guys as we did under Payton to show we were smarter than everyone, Moore/Staley targeted high character big school guys with lots of starts, some team captains. That’s a paradigm shift in our drafting strategy.

what? where in the world do you get your "news"?


The New York Times?

Even the NYT admits Colorado officials were aiding gang members

quote:

Jurinsky and other Republicans pointed to the Romeros’ video as evidence that large numbers of Tren de Aragua members had come with the influx of migrants. Democratic politicians suggested they were crying wolf: “There is no gang takeover in any part of Aurora,” Representative Jason Crow, of Colorado, posted on X. A representative for Jared Polis, the governor of Colorado, said that the “purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination,” condemning what he called “recent misinformation campaigns.” The Aurora Police Department did not say whether it had verified the authenticity of the video or if arrests had been made in connection with the shooting.

do you have a link for the massive childcare fraud in co that required cutting all funds? yet somehow only exists in blue states? hint - you don't


We are finding out massive childcare fraud exists in all states. It appears in blue states that it is a kickback scheme to Democrats.
quote:

let's start with colorado. surely you can point to the widespread fraud that requires suspending this money, right?


Fraud will be found for sure. Colorado was actively hiding and providing sanctuary for Tren de Aragua members and running interference on federal enforcement.

Doesn’t work that way, you should take a civics class. Does the fact they are high population states give them the right to commit fraud?
quote:

Let’s make a list of QBs you’d definitely take over Shough for the next 5 years. Take away injuries, contract, strictly on field play. Allen Mahomes Burrow Herbert Stroud Jackson Lawrence? Daniels? Williams? I’m trying hard to not be a homer here


Total homer here, but I think he slots between Herbert and Stroud. I think next year is a breakout year.

Fontenot was just fired as well.


A reminder the Falcons have no first round pick and a very unsettled QB situation.
quote:

Bruh. Your comment was that the big bad RB makes those guys better. Are you now saying those guys didn't indeed make the others better? Did you forget what you were arguing? How much success did those RB's bring those teams? You straight up just provided a counter argument for your own opinion.


Bruh, my comment was that I wouldn’t hate the Love pick, I think I even called it a luxury pick. You suggested we draft OL/DL in the first round for the ninth time in 11 years, we ought to have the best goddamned lines in football with all that investment. You pointed to bad franchises that have a reputation of drafting the next shiny thing as examples of what not to do, I was pointing out they have also invested in their lines (though not at an 80% rate), but are bad at drafting and lack a culture to develop players. We have no skill players on offense outside of Olave and will at some point have to draft a player in the first round that is not a lineman.
quote:

That's really worked out for the Giants, Titans, Jets, and Raiders the last decade

quote:

Giants

6 1st rd picks in last 10 years OL/DL
Giants 1st rd picks

quote:

Titans

5 1st rd picks in last 10 years OL/DL
Titans 1st rd picks

quote:

Jets

8 1st rd picks in last 10 years OL/DL
Jets first round picks

quote:

Raiders

4 1st rd picks in last 10 years OL/DL
Raiders first round picks

I think these organizations have terrible culture and suck at drafting.

quote:

Downs/ OL would play 100% of offensive/ defensive snaps and actually make other players jobs easier.


Home run RBs and dependable WRs make the OL’s job easier.

This team's #1 need is a home run hitter. If we can find a pair of guards in free agency, Love would be an absolute monster in Kellen's system
.

I actually agree with this. Outside of Lattimore in 2017 and Olave in 2022, every 1st rd pick we’ve made in the last 10 years has been OL or DL with average results. We’ve made few investments in our skill positions and it shows.
quote:

s it a given that Dante Moore is entering the draft? If not then Mendoza will be the only 1st round qb


I haven’t seen anything official but I’ve seen a few mocks with him at #3, no reason to stay in college if picked that high.
quote:

I don’t think Love would be considered a home run. I wouldn’t be mad at it, but I would much rather any of the other picks you mentioned


I saw someone on espn had him ranked #1 (right now precombine). He’d be a Reggie Bush style luxury pick, but a guy with that kind of speed and instant home run threat would be a lot of fun to watch in this offense.
2 QBs at least will go in top 7 picks, and since we don’t need one our pick is more like #6. Hope someone reaches for a third qb or wants to trade up. Regardless, one of Downs, Bain, Love, Reese, or Tate ought to be available. Any would be a home run pick for us.
I agree, I think his ceiling is next big thing in the NFL. One thing not often mentioned is his touch on short and intermediate throws. Not everything is a fastball, I honestly think that’s why you don’t see Juwan dropping balls anymore (though he still fumbles) and instead makes contested one handed catches down the sideline.
Check out the Spotted Dog sporting goods store while you’re there. Excellent gun inventory.
I mean put the team on his back and drug them across the finish line. It’s a very comfortable 15 point win on the road if Pettis doesn’t fumble on his way into the end zone. In my lifetime of watching the Saints back to the early 80’s, we haven’t had a qb who could do that other than Brees. I am stunned.
