Based on my conversation a few weeks ago with a Spokane County sheriff on the narco squad, cocaine is a big concern right now. The cartels are moving it hard into the State of Washington since the new (lack of) laws make it relatively risk-free.
Even the Homeless Industrial Complex is onto this "recruiting thing"......
 
Here is the problem . They are imitating the NFL. The NFL has control over its players for a certain period. They have cost control in a salary cap. They have one way contracts with the teams . The teams can cut them but a portion is guaranteed .

Eventually the answer will be the NFL will create a developmental league . If your intention is to go to a vo tech then the developmental league is your ticket. If you want an education without the NIL and transfer portal then college ball will be for you .

It will come to a head. Think if A and M really did spend 30 mil on a class in NIL money…. And they don’t win …. There will be a problem . Business people do not like to make bad investments . “I paid 150k in NIL for a qb that can’t the broad side of a barn “.
The NFL will never create a developmental league. They have a free farm system. If they do anything it will be to change the requirements on when kids are eligible for the league. It’s not often someone could go to the NFL as an 18 year old but if happens. Najee Harris could have gone straight to the league for example.

Ed, it's not like Rolo was leading a brigade into an attack on an enemy post and bailed out. Let's not get silly. This is sports. Football specifically. He did what he did based on principles that I think are admirable. You don't. That's fine. We disagree. I disagree with you on worldview issues because I value liberty immensely and you value safety over liberty. It's okay. That's life.
Well you better fight harder for that Liberty … kids are mandated to get vaxed and woman who want their liberty and choice are allowed to . You are correct that is life .And yes I take safety of the whole and the leadership of the whole over getting a jab .
 
Agreed -in the big scheme of things, college football is entertainment and a means for young people to get an education.

It is paltry relative to things that really matter. There are a whole bunch of things that would impact my way of life if lost, far more than whether college athletics survive.

But we just had a Vice President compare a few hundred unarmed people bum-rushing the capitol to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, where, literally, thousands of people lost their lives so not really surprised at any hyperbole these days.
Yes unarmed . I love hearing that one. The students at the Iranian embassy were just visitors as well . I could show still photos where they weren’t armed either .

Did the Vice President of the United States compare that to, arguably, the two darkest days in the history of the country?

I don’t believe so because - Walter Mondale who was VP at the time - had the ability to show respect and the intelligence to understand perspective. Unlike many people these days.

One’s argument is not strengthened by making absurd comparisons.

Well...short term I don't disagree with you. But Pearl Harbor nor 9/11 is a threat to our democracy. So what happened on 1/6 is much longer lasting and much more devastating to our future.
 
Being reported by a few, JDL threw a fit at halftime of the Sun Bowl Yes he was injured, but not to the point of coming out of the locker room to support his team in the second half
Not that I don't believe you, but can you provide a link for this? Just curious to read about it.
 
Rolo chose to do what is best for his health (since covid has zero chance of killing him and omicron will now give him natural immunity with only mild or no symptoms) and stood on a principle that neither of us would have given the incredible cost to him. That is admirable.

This is a thread already dedicated to vaccine debate. Can you please take the discussion there and leave this thread for JDL discussion? Thank you.
 
I'm old enough to remember the Great Pussy Hat Invasion of the Senate in 2019.

Same number of armed insurgents. One less dead person.
Aint about dead people. It is about a dead democracy. If people cant even call it what it is we are in trouble. The the "Green Bay Sweep".
 
Remember,,, this is the same college generation that is surprised after graduation that they are on the hook to repay their college loan, plus interest.
With all due respect they learned from the biggest "socialists" of them all. The 30, 40, 50 and 60 year olds. Sterling Bank got 303 million dollars in TARP funds and never paid it back. It cost the US govt 160 million to give the CEO of Countrywide a golden parachute for lending zero down, stated income stated assets with a 620 fico score. He thought was a good long term program. Which it was for him.

Let's go to PPP money. A friend of mine got 9 mil in PPP money, didn't have to pay it back and his industry had a record year. A client of mine from Spokane racked up 50k in credit card debt, got PPP and paid off his credit card debt and put 50k down on a house.

I can go on and on. Meanwhile, my daughter both got internships for the summer. My oldest does and didn't have to work while in college. Her college is completely funded. She wanted to pay her own rent of 800.00 per month. I told her to stop, I am taking care of it. She started crying and said what's the deal, I feel good about paying for my own stuff.

So I am not sure "this generation" is the true problem. I think the bigger problem are the people who claim they are capitalist but have zero problem having the feds bail them out year after year of making bad decisions.

was it his principles that prompted him to ask the disease expert the university brought in about Bill Gates?
I think Rolo truly believed the state wouldn't fire him and his assistants mid season, he called their bluff and lost, period
 
I wouldn’t be surprised if JDL gets an NIL deal for a million. Looking at the players comments along with wishing him well, a few said something to the effect, “gotta take care of the family”. Potential competitors had nothing to do with it. In the end it’s all about money, welcome to the NIL world.
a million? for a player that got beaten out by Guarantano to start the season, doubtful

The principles of “Q”. Funny one of my oldest daughters friends brought that up to me a week ago as to why she and boyfriend aren’t vaxed . I started laughing .
i put my iPhone down in front of me and started asking her questions about replacement windows, of which of course she didn’t know what I was talking about and thought I lost my mind.

i then show her my phone ten minutes later with emails from Renewal by Anderson window replacements.

I said Bill Gates doesn’t need to spend money to get chips inside of you, he and others already have the deceived to track you .

And you are spot on… he called what he thought was Chuns bluff. He lost and not doing so well since .

Weird -there's been 3 elections held in Spokane County since 1/6/21. Another one coming up in February.

Did democracy die in Western Washington? No free elections held any longer? No other elections held anywhere in these United States since Jan 2021?

Let me know specifically what jurisdiction in which democracy died in the United States.

Nope did Spokane county change their election procedures . Peter Navarro came right out and said it and called it the Green Bay Sweep. Democracy does when the votes can’t be trusted and you put people in position to count and certify the elections that belief trunp won and their was voter fraud .

Do you have a shred of proof that Fulton county or Mari ops county were rigged ? Cynthia Powell when sued said she didn’t expect anyone to believe her fantasy story. Guiliani when question under oath said he read these things on the internet and didn’t feel it was important to do any amount of investigation .

So yes your democracy in your corner of the world will be upheld .

Congrats !

Yeah, we’re way behind the curve here in WA. We need to be able to arrest and convict election board members if the election doesn’t go the “right” way. We need the the leg. to be able to decide how the election reallly went.

Whether there are attempts to change elections rules are irrelevant. Regularly scheduled elections have continued in both those jurisdictions, have they not?

Go ahead and link to any election in the United States that have been held up since Jan 6, 2021.

Jesus 11...I can't do this. You are way too smart. If you cant see what has happened and the voter fraud that one man claimed and was willing to overturn the will of the voters I can't help you. What if the f word does a regular election being held do if the loser can claim fraud and the right election officials are in place to overturn the election.

Just as you thought Rolo wouldn't be fired you are dead wrong here. You read the room like 96 does.

It's true - you can't. And, humbly, yes I am.

Democracy has continued to be alive and well in the United Sates despite what those who make hyperbolic claims are doubling down on. Nothing's changed based on a couple hundred extremists. Every single jurisdiction in this country has held elections since 1/6/21. It's a false claim to say democracy has died or is at any risk of dying in the United States.

I don't see a whole lot of people in the room rushing to VP Harris' defense either. They too can see nothing's changed. It's a not-too-bright politician spouting nonsense and making comparisons that dishonor those who lost their lives in two monumental dates in American history.

The Rolo Monday morning QB'ing is a nice touch, though. Again, irrelevant to the point at hand. Except I'm undefeated on elections being held to-date. And I'll go out on a limb and say every single election scheduled in the US will be held for the next four years.

I am not worried about the traitors that went into the capital . I am worried about the people with power . Trunp, Navarro. Meadows.

While as book smart as you are the street smarts don’t match … if I too may be ever so humble .

And yes your miss call on Rolo is absolutely relevant cause you don’t read the room at all.

Yes that is exactly the problem . As a registered Republican in the state of Maryland where I voted for Reagan this isn’t about a race or two turning from blue to red . That is plain stupid .

What elected offices do Trump, Navarro and Meadows currently hold?
 
Such voodoo.
Why do 60% of republicans believe trump got more votes . Why are states that have big rural changing election laws… seems coincidental I am sure and the people who go into positions to certify are believers in the big lie .
 
What elected offices do Trump, Navarro and Meadows currently hold?
Who is the leader of the Republican Party ? Who is their “God” who they can’t even say he lost ? Who told the Alaska governor he gets his support if that governor denounces Lisa Murkowski .
 
A bunch of blue turned to red last mid-term = democracy is dead.

hth
You mean like the senate turned from blue to red in the last election? Or the presidency turned from blue to red in the last election? There is only one party that believes that Trump won. There is only one party that on the state level is changing the election laws to ensure victory going forward.

Just holding elections does not equal democracy. Russia holds elections, and the outcomes are already made before the elections takes place.

Even tho this is not the place for Politics, I can't let either, both politic sides slide on this.

Trump did BOTH good and bad things.

It's extreme for Repubs to defend Jan 6. Trump used extreme Rhetoric to try to wrongly tell the Repubs, people, that there was election fraud. Trump tried to get Mike Pence to not certify the election results, as was Mike Pence's, and other's job. Trump's fiery extreme Rhetoric convinced the more crazy, extreme part of the Repubs to as a UNARMED MOB, do the Jan 6 capital riots, that did threaten, try to force Mike Pence to overturn the election.

That was extremely bad, serious. And stupid Repubs still wrongly defend January 6, and still stupidly allow Trump to lead the Repub party, when it is Ben Carson, Ron De Santis, Marc Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc, that should be presidential candidate, leading Repub party.

There is a precedent in USA, that if a president loses reelection, they are done, finished, they dont get to run for reelection after they lose reelection, after the other party's candidate becomes president, and after that president's term ends, runs for reelection.

And the ex president doesn't get to continue to lead the Party. After they fail to win their reelection bid, THEY ARE DONE.

That's the way it's always been. Trump should not run for reelection after Biden's first term, and should not lead the Repub party. He should be done, like all the presidents before him.

That's the stupidity of the Repubs.

The stupidity of the DEMOCRATS:

Trump did some good things.

The 300 rioters were not looting, burning, etc. They were UNARMED.

Was it wrong, bad, just as wrong as the Antifa, BLM riots, etc? HECK YES.

Is it comparable to Pearl Harbor, etc? HECK NO.

Did democracy, freedom die because of Trump, Jan 6? HECK NO.

Did Trump, Jan 6, etc, erode trust in the Democratic system,? HECK YES.

TRUTH, FACT IS BOTH REPUBS AND DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN STUPID, WRONG OVER, ABOUT JAN 6, ETC.

AND THIS IS FROM A SEMI CONSERVATIVE TO SEMI MODERATE SEMI REPUBLICAN, SEMI CONSTITUTIONALIST, SEMI LIBERTARIAN, SEMI INDEPENDENT, THAT USUALLY SIDES WITH THE REPUBLICANS.

Both parties, and both sides, and posters, posting about this, should stop the STUPIDITY, their WRONG stance, etc, over, about this issue, Jan 6, Trump, etc.

I guess the simple question is if you think 1/6/21 was just a blip on the screen ... a "one off", or perhaps a sign of things to come.

The answer to that question corresponds in proportion to someone who thinks our democracy (if not in trouble) sustained a lasting wound that has left a mark. Do you think it sustained a "wound"?
