    We need to sign 8 DL in this class. 

    It doesn't matter your scheme or your secondary if you get zero push and zero pass rush out of your front four. 

    haven't we been saying we need to sign like a million DL every year? its been this way since forever.

    seems like under herman we are getting OL but jesus are we average on the DL. we just toss 3 guys out and ask them to not influence the game at all.

    It speaks to the rampant narcissism that Trump feels the need to clarify how well HE was treated, on a day that was intended to focus all attention and grief on innocent murder victims.

    well yeah, what do you expect?

    Similar scenario got John Crawford killed in a Cleveland Walmart about 5 or 6 years ago. Dude was on the phone with his wife/ girlfriend while shopping with a toy b.b. gun he picked up off the shelf. Swat team came in there like Seal Team 6 and shot and killed him without any warning.

    yep. i remember that. truly just awful. 

    this is our society. cops panic and shoot first. and like noted above they will say thats what is supposed to happen! they would rather you call the cops than not, rather be overly safe, and rather leave you in a shitty situation where you have no logical out. 

    pick up a toy gun? are you fucking kidding me?! i wouldn't be caught dead (ha!) holding anything ever that looks like a weapon anywhere around cops. and if that was me i would get on the ground immediately and put my hands behind my head, hoping they wouldn't shoot me. yay Merica. these are real stories and these are real fears that we all have. fucking hell

    I'm not entirely sure that's true. I really wouldn't be surprised if an anti-immigration fascist party here could get 15%, if we had a proportional representation system. Maybe more.

    i don't know man

    Rs are anti-immigrant, free market, anti-obama, anti-government, anti-abortion, and pro gun. thats lots of folks that i don't think hold all parts equal. i think some are adopting and supporting views that they never had, or never really wanted but they organically have to because to them is really about the party only, not the issues. So in turn all the anti-shit is ramped to 11 but i think its simply part of being a party hack IMO and part of us being stuck in this culture war.

    The US first past the post system forces anyone who wants to win to build broad coalitions.  Germany has proportional representation.  Any group that can get 5% of the vote can get seats in the Bundestag.  The extreme version of this is Israel where there isn't a 5% threshold.  Take a look at how much influence this gives small, sometimes extreme parties.  The middle is so divided that the loons have real influence and get to play kingmaker at times.

    yes i know that.

    my point is here in the US our loon population is actually much smaller (than in Germany or how we tend to think of ourselves). thus my post. Our loons are hitting above their weight now IMO

    conjecture on American versus Germany loon populations. Who knows man...
