    “Repeal the Second Amendment”

    Clear enough?  Tweeted out by Senator Karen Carter Petersen.  But she doesn’t speak for you though.....

    Louisiana State Senator... but you for some reason left that part out. It’s almost like you’re trying to be purposefully deceptive.

    Disagree. I just want a normal president. Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush sr, Reagan, Carter, any of those guys plus I will take Romney, McCain, Dole, Gore, I mean anyone that is normal, ethical, lived a life of service and understands that the office of the presidency is bigger than any one person and it is to be respected and revered. I dont even really care about their policies at this point. I just want an ethical, moral person. 

    Agree. However there does need to be a reckoning for those (Ryan, McConnell, Pence, etc.) who have continued to support this moron and enabled this behavior

    LOL. Timo Werner, Lars Stindl, Sandro Wagner and Mario GĂłmez are real strikers.

    And no goal scorer without... Reus?? He wasn't even on the 2014 world championship squad and played none of the 2018 WC qualifiers. Germany finished both campaigns as the record goal-scoring team. The 43 goals in 10 qualifiers set a new UEFA qualifying record. Same with the 2017 Confed Cup: 1. Germany (12), 2. Portugal (9)

    Besides, Thomas MĂĽller has scored 10 goals in two World Cups (2010 /5, 2014 /5), more than L. Messi (5) and C. Ronaldo (3) combined.

    Goal scoring should be the least of our problems.

    Timo Werner is 22. Gomez and Wagner are target men playing for a team that doesn’t play with true wingers. Unless they play Müller up front the goals won’t come easily against the elites. 

    Germany obviously is still a contender. They have the best midfielder in the world, they have gobs of creativity everywhere but they lack an elite #9. 

     

  4. Don’t see anyway Germany can do it again. They don’t have the goal scorers without Reus and no real striker. 

    If Brazil was smart they would find a way to get Firmino, Neymar, Coutinho, and Jesus on the field at the same time. I think they are the favorites.

    France, like Brazil, has almost no weak points at all. Just class at every position.

    Belgium, Argentina, and Spain are all stacked as well. 

    Should be a really interesting tournament with plenty of the traditional powers being very strong. Personally I’ll be rooting for Egypt and the Mo Salah show.

    I understand where you are coming from, but "unlimited bandwidth" is the only thing that sells. Nobody wants a cap on their home internet. I guess its the butthurt cable company that is providing internet and o longer providing cable, instead streaming the replacement through their internet and wanting not to lose that $.

    Either way, government fucks shit up, and I was concerned they would find a way to somehow over regulate or fuck up this NN as well. Since it has stopped the sky hasnt fallen as far as I can tell? Any internet company that wants to block certain stuff or throttle stuff would lose their customers immediatly, so I don't think they can now without the laws.

    Internet companies have already blocked and throttled in the past. That’s the entire reason consumers need these protections.

    Does it bother you at all that all of the big corporations are pushing NN - more government control? It's pretty obvious what is going on, they want to charge people more for streaming 100% of their television though the internet. If they don't, everyone's internet goes up to pay for the people who constantly stream everything.

    Does it bother you that you have zero understanding of net neutrality
