Wow, this thread delivers. We got posters going from him being cut to posters saying he’ll be the starter.

I think he’s better than Gabriel but has baggage. I think Picket, Flacco and Watson are all better than him right now also, but Flacco isn’t there to start and Watson is hurt so we’ll see how pre season goes. If Sanders struggles and Gabriel doesn’t it will become interesting to see who gets cut. They can’t cut Watson but could cut Pickett. Flacco is backup insurance.

Tanking for Arch is asinine. 1 He might not be great - less than 100 passes thrown in college and no real competition when he played (Miss St was worse than bad last year). 2 If Arch is second coming like some people think, what’s to say he does come out knowing the Browns have the no 1 pick, his Uncle forced San Diego to not draft him so family has picked their team before. Point is, tanking for Arch is not a smart strategy and likely only fan theory (although Browns are dumb so who knows).

A big rhetorical misstep with the Israel-Palestine thing is found in the tribalistic notion that you have to take a side for one or the other

Not discounting the shite Israel has done in the past but to me I will not give them shite for this Hamas war. We’ve seen historically if Israel doesn’t retaliate or if they agree to ceasefire, Hamas will inevitably strike again after regaining numbers and arms. The only way to stop Hamas is to eradicate them. That’s the problem tho, as Hamas, much like most terrorist organizations, hide behind their own innocent people hoping that collateral damage will be enough to have the world condemn their attacker so they’ll stop. It’s their playbook. How do you propose they fight that?

Did Khalil participate in Oct 7?

The group he is a leader/part of at Columbia celebrated Oct 7th. They also had a mission to “eradicate western culture”. Those aren’t ideas we should fight for to stay in our country.

Screw that dude, trade him to Hamas for Edan Alexander, the American hostage Hamas still has. Khalil can go fight in person since he’s so passionate about it.

If its unfair, why are our businessmen still selling in those countries?

Because it’s the second largest economy in the world. If they were, say 100th, they might not but they can’t miss out on that market. Plus China is into everything, everywhere; you’re going to have to deal with them.

Deleted. Info I had was wrong

Grok picked these judges by most likely.

Top 3
James Ho
Amul Thapar
Aileen Cannon

Others
Andrew Oldham
Kevin Newsome
Neomi Reo
Raymond Kethridge

When pressed for minority women (replacing a minority woman so optics might look better)
Barbara Lagoa (Cuban -American)
Kathryn Kimbell Mizelle (not minority tho)


All district judges or appeals court judges and previous Trump appointees.

No clue who he’ll pick but good chance as any it’s one of them

Reading through this and seeing you call someone unintelligent is quite comical. You do not understand what’s going on and that’s ok but don’t act like you do and are smarter than everyone else.

Let’s break it down. Trump’s tariff strategy operates on a few interconnected ideas:

1. **Increased Tariff Revenue**: By imposing tariffs on imported goods, the government collects taxes directly from foreign companies. If these tariffs are high enough and applied broadly, they could generate significant revenue to replace income tax.

2. **Boosting Domestic Economy**: Tariffs make imported goods more expensive, encouraging consumers to buy domestically produced products. This could lead to growth in local industries, creating jobs and increasing corporate profits. The government could then collect revenue through corporate taxes and sales taxes instead of income tax.

3. **Negotiated Trade Deals**: If tariffs are used as leverage to negotiate trade deals where other countries agree to buy more U.S. goods, it could further stimulate the economy. A stronger economy means more taxable transactions (like sales and property taxes), reducing the need for income tax.

4. **Diversified Tax Base**: With tariffs and other taxes (like excise taxes, sales taxes, or value-added taxes) taking on a larger role, the government could shift away from relying on income tax as its primary revenue source.


Some tariffs will stay causing extra revenue for the government and some will go away creating more jobs due to negotiating deals for that country to buy our goods instead of another countries, thus creating more corporate tax revenue.

You get it now?

Shooters shoot bro!

Probably because they are busy getting spending bills together for the next budget?????? Surely, Dems will be attempting to slow the process down and hoping for another CR. Probably some rinos will also.

I believe you’re right, between confirmation hearings then the budget stuff, it’s kinda kept them busy. Then add in working on “the big beautiful bill” and that’s their 1st 2 months. We are just used to the break neck speed of Trump, Congress moves slower by design so the bills have to be more thorough.

I’m not taking up for them as we really haven’t seen anything about bills yet but it doesn’t mean they haven’t been working on them. Let’s revisit by end of summer is all I’m saying. We better have some bills done by then.

Again, charges are not the same as violations. Charges equal criminal and violations equal civil. Immigration is civil. Has the lawyer said she had no violations told to him? ICE does have to inform him/her of violations and a notice to appear.

Sounds to me lawyer is playing word games for sympathy.
