PT Barnum - "Nobody ever went broke by overestimating the stupidity of the American people."

Under Netanyahu, Israel had a policy of benign neglect vis a vis Hamas in Gaza, whilst clamping down on the PA in the West Bank.  Israel wasn't actively propping up Hamas in Gaza, they just left them alone and once Hamas won the election in 2005, they threw all the PA politicians off of rooftops.

Hamas currently has a 40% approval rating in the West Bank, which is double that of the hated, hopelessly corrupt PA.  None of the Arab countries want to get involved in Gaza.  Not surprising that Netanyahu, whose policy has clearly blown up in his face, has no strategic plans for whatever comes next.

Yeah, I blame the food industry more for this, but people have to stop making stupid choices.

Maybe its because I know Biden acts the way a President should act on the world stage so seeing him pimp slap frumty dumpty around at home does not bother me.

This!!

These are just shorts, but if you listen to the entire interview, this woman is fascinating and informative.... despite the nitwit doing the interview.

I suspect a good part of these failures is an unintended side effect of the Jones Act - a law passed after WW1 that mandates all vessels in American waters must be fully American made and entirely American manned.  The intention behind the law was to coerce the US to build a capable naval fleet, which I guess we lacked during the first WW.  Instead, it killed a lot of industry in cities that had been built by navigable waterways, and old decrepit US ships are constantly reconditioned because our commercial shipbuilding industry is far more inefficient and costly than the rest of the world.  The act's original purpose looks ridiculous now - we have the most powerful navy in the history of the world and it's not even close.  We could reduce our carbon footprint, add hundreds of billions of dollars to the economy, and reduce incidents like these if we repealed the Jones Act, but we won't because unions will turn on any politicians who try...

Rudy hoping to run out the clock so he can die before going broke.

Now, is this the same Nancy Pelosi that caused all the rioting on Jan. 6?

No, that was Nikki Haley...back when Trump beat Obama in the election.  You need to look at the oranges of the reports.

They must have been really drunk....

Other than centers, it seems like most of the guys we've picked outside of the top 5 at OL have been busts. Only exceptions I can think of are Dockery, Moses, and Cosmi (who was a bust at OT, but looks like a solid guard). I know it's a new era with Peters, but it's just hard for me to be optimistic.

I keep checking various AI apps to generate a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene in a dominatrix outfit whipping speaker Mike Johnson who is wearing a dress and has a ball in his mouth, but I keep getting messages saying content may be inappropriate.

I almost wonder if she's trying to get herself thrown off this case, besides being completely in the tank for Trump.

I was hoping we might sign Tulia Tagovailoa as our udfa QB.  Don't know anything about Hartman, but he better beat out Fromm for crying out loud.

Given JD's thin frame and Mariota's brittle nature, there's a better than average chance our 3rd string QB sees playing time.

Always weird to see a macho dude with a girl's name.  Hopefully he will be better than a guy named Su(a)

Immerse yourself in the team. Put QBs underwater.

I really want this pick to succeed, because the irony of getting a successful McCaffrey for a half year rental to SF of bust Chase Young would be so delicious.

Bet this guy ends up being our KR.

Dude definitely has a quick release and nice touch - the back shoulder fades in the end zone were top notch.  Someone should show him film of Russell Wilson making quick decisions to slide, which is why running almost the same offense he lasted much longer than he who shall not be named.

Kurt Warner said JD had the best film in this class.

Maye didn't have the supporting cast or the experience - he is the ultimate boom or bust, which is why he has both detractors and avid supporters aplenty.  He might be the next Josh Allen, but the next Mitch Trubisky is just as likely.

Looking at film, I LOVE this pick, but thinking about how every time we pick at #2 the player's career trajectory ends with a catastrophic knee injury, I am terrified.

So the Chiefs just drafted another superfast WR to drop passes from Mahomes.

Why are people sensitive about "spoiling" picks.  More time to contemplate/comment.  Spoil away!

Well, the team is owned by Skeletor.
