    This example is lost on today’s QBs who say they want to win but demand to “reset the QB market” even before their current contract expires. The Rams made it work in Stafford’s first year because Detroit ate the signing bonus and dead money on his contract. The Chiefs have regressed every season recently the deeper they get into Mahomes’s deal and the less money they have to spend on OL/DL. Ravens, Bills, and Bengals (Burrow injury noted) have the other big star QBs on second contracts and all are at risk of missing the playoffs. 

    the bills aren't really in danger of missing the playoffs.  i agree with the rest.

    No.  I accuse you of excusing and empowering horrific, xenophobic, white nativist evil bullshit by this admin because hey, I think we need to do SOMETHING about immigration.  Want an omelette (enforcement against immigration violations)?  Well, you gotta break eggs (violate the constitution like a motherfucker, call for the extermination of all hispanics from the US, call for brutality and expulsion against people with LEGAL status, etc. -- which is exactly what this admin is doing).  That's what I accuse you of, and I'm right.

    Nope.  Plenty of white people get this right.  But plenty are like you -- zero fucking empathy, because it's not happening to you, and you aren't in the crosshairs.  You are walking down the "who cares if 65 million hispanics are targeted every day, wherever they go....because I'M not hispanic, so not my problem."

    I need to do something about the bugs that get into my house.  I COULD support a plan of sealing windows, and calling an ordinary exterminator.  OR, I could call in a B-52 strike on my entire block, destroying dozens of homes and killing people, but hey, no more spiders in my house!  You are so blinded by your desire of addressing a problem that (1) isn't nearly the level of problem the sources you swallow say it is, and (2) you don't give 1/100th of a fuck about who that plan hurts, whether it's consistent with the law, humanity, or basic American values.

    So long as we get rid of one dirty undocumented dishwasher, it's okay if we turn entire cities into armed camps and terrorize millions of people solely because their last name has a Z in it or some shit.  Yeah, supporting that makes you a bad person.

    Being like the anti-muslim bigots in this story and wanting to expel every single fucking person who has ever been on a prayer rug from your country - you know, ethnic cleansing - because some shitheels who claim that faith support....ethnic cleansing....well, that's a take.  Nope, no irony there.

    My dad brought up ICE on thanksgiving and was talking about all the positive aspects of this ridiculous operation. My wife and I brought up some of the horrible implications it has had on people we know. His response: “Well, there will always be a few good people caught up in the net.” I don’t know where I got my empathy but it definitely wasn’t him.

    We were in Belize and my wife injured her ankle to the point where we thought it was broken.

    Our driver took us to the clinic and I took care of the check-in.  Of course, our health insurance was useless and they told me they don't take credit cards.  I was worried about the cost but the person at sign in told me it wouldn't be expensive compared to our US prices.

    Doctor, x-rays, ace bandage (just a bad sprain), crutches and a prescription.  $98 and change.  That is how bloated the health care costs are in the US.

    meanwhile my Fox watching mom is scared to leave the country because "what if I get sick or hurt?"

    The new Knives Out movie sucked. A mediocre--and largely unused--ensemble cast. Disappointing after the original and Glass Onion.

    Yeah, I was pretty bored throughout. Maybe if they trimmed an hour off it would have been better. 

  5. The Chiefs have had glaring issues for a couple years that they’ve been unable to improve. Now Kermit has a fucked up knee, Kelce is close to done and Reid is only getting older and fatter. They definitely have some work to do to get back to contenders.
