Makes no sense to me why a player on a CFP contending team would announce intentions to xfer. If that hell bent to quit and leave, they shouldn’t get any form of recognition.


I agree, but if you know you're not going to play, and can see the writing on the wall for next season too, I'm not sure what you'd be waiting for.

ETA: I'd ride it out and at least try to get a ring.
Congressional Republicans are definitely screwing the pooch in some ways. Not allowing Trump to make recess appointments is one way they screwed up.

I do give them a little grace on this issue though because there's only so much they can push through without having a 60 vote majority in the Senate. The problem is that this should be the focus, not the other stuff they made difficult that should have been easy wins.

Yep, otherwise he would have been sacrificed to a woke mob, just like Derek Chauvin.

A convicted murderer who gunned down a 19-year-old girl has sparked community outrage after being voted back onto the city’s police review board.

Kyle Hedquist, 47, was jailed for life without parole for murdering Nikki Thrasher in 1994.

The Oregon native led Thrasher down a remote road and shot her in the back of the head to prevent her from telling people about a burglary spree he had embarked on.

Hedquist was released in 2022, with former governor Kate Brown arguing that he was 17 at the time of the crime, which means 'he shouldn't be locked up for life.'


Remember when people argued the death penalty was inhumane?

It wasn't.

One of the biggest problems is the lie that evolution as the origin of our species is "accepted science." This just isn't true.

Republicans do the bidding of the dems anyway.

BUT MUH RED VS MUH BLUE MUST VOTEEEEEE


No one I vote for is doing the bidding of Dems.

If the people you vote for are doing that, run for office.
If anything happens, it won't be while Trump or Vance is in power.

Because these dipshits will claim youre "voting for Democrats" by not voting.


By not voting, you are supporting whoever wins that election. If that's a Democrat, that's who you supported.

Republicans have had both houses and the WH and barely anything has changed. America First was pretty much a lie from Trump. Republicans in congress won't do anything either.


Updating voting districts in red states is what is needed to fix this proble. We have to get away from Republican "moderates" who vote with Dems on anything important.
Well, year 5, but my statement is still accurate.

Nonono, the argument is "that's not Trump!" Apparently Trump has just been lucky and nothing his admin is doing is effective.

Seems more like we're focusing on the Colombian cartels vs Mexican cartels, where as the Mexican cartels are the ones mainly responsible for the distribution in the US.


Not sure focusing is the right term. We're just putting more effort into it. We haven't stopped addressing Mexican cartels.

It's been going great! He's well on his way to being the most peaceful president in our nation's history.

False reasoning for regime change.


You think.
I'm honestly not sure how it's fixed without lawless judges being prosecuted and convicted.

I find it hard to believe that step will be taken.
quote:

The majority of drugs come in from the Mexican border, and fent is mostly made by the Mexican cartels.

So the fact the drop off begins before the boats were getting blown up shows that our efforts on securing the border have been the biggest deal.


I agree with you that securing the border is having an affect.

According to most of the counterarguments in this thread, this can't be true because the decline starts during the Biden admin, before the Trump admin started resecuring the border.

Obviously, that is a brain dead argument, but it does seem necessary to point out that your argument doesn't line up with what other posters minimizing this are saying. Apparently we're supposed to believe government is completely unable to counter the drug trade.

quote:

Also, the stuff with Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs.


Drug boats are being attacked, so it is disingenuous to say it has "nothing" to do with drugs, even if you don't believe it to be the primary purpose.

The arguments have been:

1. There are actually more cases of autism
2. It is diagnosed more, because we pay closer attention and have more data, but it hasn't actually increased


It's not these.

quote:

3. The increased cases are completely fake to milk the government out of money


This is part of it, but also we've expanded what we call "autism." Aspergers used to be separate diagnosis, for example.
quote:

There's not a government program the Dems haven't defrauded.


At this point, it seems clear there is a partnership between the Dem party and government agencies. These entities need each other for their continued survival.
So you posit this is just a revert to the mean? Decrease in demand unrelated to supply?
