Harris didnt have any policy issues on her webpage until last night. Then it finally had stuff, and it turns out that they were directly ripped from Bidens election page. This is even funnier when you consider Harris has been trying to say she is a change candidate and isnt just going to copy Bidens failures.

Its funny how enraged these memes are making people. Not whats actually happening, but the memes and reporting about it. I would say theres a 50/50 chance that Trump mentions it tonight.

https://nypost.com/2024/09/10/world-news/over-140-ukrainian-drones-target-multiple-russian-regions-including-moscow-authorities-say/ Over 140 Ukrainian drones target multiple Russian regions, including Moscow, authorities say Ukraine is learning how to strike deep into Russia. Sounds like the people in Russia arent quite as gung-ho about the war now as they were at the start. Its almost like they are starting to see the consequences of their own actions.

I like this kind of thing. Go and beat the crap out of each other for 60, then reminisce about college and swap jerseys. Thats whats so fun about sport. When done right, its still just a game.

Week 1 is literally random. Its because none of the starters ever get any practice before the season opens. Its really a shame that the NFL doesnt institute some sort of system where starters can play in a scrimmage like game before the season starts. A pre-season if you will.

But are they better than the Christmas Bowl a few years ago where it was Red and Green only?

How dare you speak ill of the GEQBUS The Darnold! Im getting a free preview of Red Zone this weekend. This is not helping my ADHD at all......

You cant. Its well established that once you start watching something if things go your way you are not allowed to change anything.

And they got paid 1.5 Million to do it on national TV as well I would consider that a good day

If Im a packers fan im absolutely livid. Same with the players and coaches. All that time and effort for the season just for it to potentially end because of a horrible field. THe NFL never cared about player safety. Remember the whole "we arent sure what concussions do to the brain" thing? Weve known for ages what TBIs do, but the NFL ignores it.

What a total shit show that was The NFL, in its infinite wisdom, takes a premier match up for the year, puts it on a Friday night, makes it a streaming exclusive, and then moves it to an international stadium that clearly could not hold up to NFL play and where the fans look about as interested as people learning tax code. Oh, and one of the top young QBs may be done for the year because of a bad injury sustained, in fair part, due to the shitty field. Sure feels like the NFL is getting a bit to big for its britches, and its going to come crashing down in a rather spectacular way.

Oh yea baby, Were so back

He just keeps on being awesome. Hes not wrong either.

Good. Keep him locked up and in Denver. Hes the best CB in the NFL, and he got paid like it.

The more that comes out about this the more absolutely irate I am getting. That fucker was drunk, chose to drive drunk, then chose to swerve to the right of a car who was making room for them so that he could pass him. He made multiple decisions that led to him killing these two men, fathers, brothers, friends. That mother fucker better spend whatever shitty time he has left behind bars. I have zero sympathy for this kind of shit in the modern world. fuck him and everything about that shitty ass fucker. This just hurts. I gotta take a break from this. Just getting too angry and emotional over it.

We have the Raiders in week 5 and the Chargers in week 6.

Thats just devastating. I started hearing rumors last night, but believed they were fake and just some idiot on twitter starting drama. Absolutely heartbroken for the family.

Theres a lot here so Ill try and get it all, but I may miss something. Not doing that intentionally. Walmart - you aren't going to hear me argue against your points. Walmart is close to a monopoly in a lot of regards, and trust busting is absolutely a proper role for the government. The feds going after Google, Amazon, Walmart and any of those other mega corporations would be great. Walmart absolutely has a great business model, but that business model also comes at the expense of wherever it goes. For all the crap South Park gets, that Walmart episode was damn near perfect at capturing the entire Walmart debate. Texas - what they are doing with their power is freaking dumb. I think what that shows more than anything though is the inevitable problem when one party controls a state by itself for extended periods of time. The stupidest ideas start to win, and then they become law. Ive become a big fan of divided government in recent years because it prevents the worst ideas and impulses from winning out. Im also not inclined to give Texas much help when their grid collapses and they bitch and moan about not getting help. Thats kinda your own fault there bud. Same with California though. Thats been a 1 party state for a long time, and they can deal with their own mess at this point. Thats also one of my biggest splits from the modern GOP. I do think regulations are important, its just a question of how many and how intrusive. Your point on the environmental regulations has me wondering why there were so many in the first place. I work in the environmental industry, and I cant tell you how many public works projects go horribly over budget, behind schedule, or are outright canceled because of environmental regulations. Should we have environmental protections? Absolutely. I like clean water and air. Should we care if a roadway impacts a field mouse or if people collect their own rainwater? Ehhhhh, Im not as inclined to say yes there. Frankly I dont see Trump nor Harris doing anything to bring the country together and fix problems. Both are horrible candidates, and both will make things worse. its just a question of in which way will they decided to fuck us. LGBT stuff- The one thing that sticks out the most on this, and so many other cultural issues, is when it starts to involves kids. Im in a lesbian relationship, have been for a while. No one cares that Im fucking a girl. What they care about is if we try to push that on kids, or try to otherwise expose them to things like sexuality that should be up to parents and not schools and institutions. No one (who isnt a complete asshole) cares about adults, they care about when adults start to involve kids. After the SCOTUS ruling there was this amazing golden age where no one really cared about LGBT issues. People were just kinda like "yea, ok, thats cool and all, did you see the game?" But in recent years there has been this continued creep to bring this kind of stuff into classrooms. People can say its not happening all they want, but it is. There are countless images of classrooms that look like a Pride parade went on a bender, got sick, and threw up the rainbow all over the room. And they can be for it all they want, but at no time has an adult saying "Its OK, this can be our secret" to a kid ever turned out OK. We still make Catholic priest jokes, and that was decades ago (holy crap I feel old now). Neither of us even feel comfortable going to Pride events anymore because of how extreme things are recently. We just want to be left alone. Even on cultural issues theres likely a whole lot that we could agree on. Part of the problem though is that, recently, either you are 100% with an ideology or you are considered an enemy. That goes for both sides. The LGBT issue above is a great example of that. Im all for LGBT issues, but I dont think its appropriate for that to be brought up in the classroom. And because of that Im considered an enemy even though Im in a lesbian relationship. On the Right because im not some MAGA diehard Im considered a liberal bitch. The ability to have any nuance or disagreement on issues that you might have 80% in common with is just gone. I will continue to argue and believe that the biggest hindrance to anyones prosperity is the federal government. They consistently get in the way of people living their life because some bureaucrat somewhere thinks that they know better than the person living their own life. Is there a role for the government? Yes, but it should be limited, targeted, and actually effective. None of this huge sweeping bureaucracy thats making rules no one has any say on. Did I get everything? I think I did. But its also been a long day.

I mean, if your going to give someone your balls you may as well have them diamond encrusted first.

Name one tax that started as only for high income people and didnt make its way to everyone. You cant, because thats how this works. Even the initial selling argument for the income tax was only for rich people to "pay their fair share", now it hits everyone. The second that tax is implemented, they will look at ways of expanding who its hitting.

And Harris wants to implement an unrealized gains tax. So we can all kiss our retirements, investment, and wealth building goodbye.

The whale looks concerned

You are kidding yourself if you think they only take $10K on a $100K income. Thats not even including state income taxes. Sure, you can live a bit better, but you do not see those big returns until you are in the very very top of the income bracket. Below that you still get crushed by taxes. The greatest stimulus any individual can receive is a reduction in their taxes, and its not even close.
