  1. Dumbest thread on this site by far there has been no in season hiring of a new permanent head coach since 1961 but yeah someone is going to hire sark
  2. *Wampus
  3. Who would have thought using schemes and calling plays tailored to the strengths of your quarterback would work?
  4. Square peg steve
  5. Doubt I’ll see another game in person unless I get free tickets or at the behest of one of my kids. Prices are obscene, people are dicks, and the commercial breaks are downright ludicrous now get off my lawn
  6. I guess we can put this nonsense to bed
  7. And that is why Kiffin will never be an elite head coach
  8. You don’t have a wife or teenage daughters obviously
  9. 1. Remember where you are 2. Why not use the drive through since it’s raining dick? (See 1.)
  10. I'm not reading this drivel, and Sanders is an entitled prick, but this stupid fucking reporter can find 20 pertinent topics for articles of why the Browns suck and will suck for the foreseeable future before getting to the rookie backup QB. Fuck you for giving that topic any oxygen you no talent hack
  11. I like to pick out my own meat (that’s what she - or he - said) and produce
  12. You seem new around here so I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are arguing in good faith. let’s forget for a moment the idea that one duty of a free society is to care for its most vulnerable, and government is the instrument through which a society acts, because you may not disagree with one or both premises. If you completely eliminated all federal Medicaid and Snap spending you would save about 640B per year. Sounds like a lot right? It’s 10% of the budget. Not peanuts but really not much in the grand scheme. Now realize simply allowing the Trump tax cuts to expire would have added at least 400B to revenues. Take it back to pre W levels it would be more like 600B So right there you almost have a wash. Even assuming you think we have no duty to help those people who have made terrible life choices such as being born into single parent households, it’s not costing much in terms of additional debt to throw them a few crumbs But now look at what cutting SNAP and Medicaid entirely does to the broader economy Due to multipliers, that loss of 680B translates into a conservative estimate of a loss of 2-3% to GDP in the first year Doesn’t seem like much until you think of how it actually plays out. Job losses and business closures will be mostly in the healthcare sector, and they will disproportionately affect people who live outside dense metropolitan areas. And of course it will also affect food producers. Now the powers that be aren’t cutting 100%. Yet. But they are cutting enough, along with ending ACA subsidies, that there will be a large ripple effect But I guess if you’re a “me and mine” type, and you have 100% employer funded health insurance, and if you don’t derive your livelihood from the above industries or the industries that support them (retail, finance, housing, service industry, etc) and if you live in or near a big city (assuming you can stand being in one of those likely commie infested areas), you probably won’t feel much pain. Probably.
  13. Fuck all that, the administrative cost would be ridiculous. Just bring back debtors’ prisons and workhouses. We’re already bringing back child labor
  14. Jalisco’s was money Was it the Hyatt downtown that had 1/2 price margs and a free buffet? Damn I’m getting old
  15. No alliteration, not a metaphor. Not even any rhymes. negged
  16. At a minimum I bet they are going to want her to unlock her phone
  17. When did “stop and frisk” end? damn I’m getting old
  18. Title says it all.
