  1. This actually kind of makes my point. To think Republicans give a fuck about helping Iran being free is ridiculous. The Persians I know (including family) think Trump might be crazy enough to make it happen, and it's because of his authoritarian tendencies. It's desperate wishcasting that makes zero sense.
  2. It's understandable to see the news/photos/videos and immediately think "It can't get worse than this in Gaza". But then if you critically think, it ABSOLUTELY can and will get worse if Trump becomes President. There are no good answers, but the argument that Kamala (post-election victory) would challenge Netanyahu and help end these atrocities is the only answer on the multiple choice test that could be correct outside of "none of the above".
  3. I'm sick to my stomach for what's happening in Gaza, and BIden has been a fucking disaster. A gargantuan fuckup nightmare. Trump is literally in bed with Netanyahu. Being reasonable is thinking there's a better chance of Trump deporting or jailing Arab Americans in Michigan and throughout the US than lifting a finger to stop the genocide.
  4. There are a lot of desperate people in this country that are not Arab-American who understandably feel they will end up hurt with a Trump administration.
  5. To share a bottle of whiskey with Brisket on the ledge, we are a few weeks a way from these 2 scenarios: 1. Trump loses, and there will be blood in the streets again. For those of us paying attention, we were not surprised at all with what happened on January 6th. Trump will deny election results but since he's not in power right now that will be tamped down legally fairly quickly. Eventually Trump makes the decision to run in 2028, or leave the country, or makes a deal to avoid jail time. If he goes away (inshallah), the GOP is in shambles and there is a glimmer of hope to pick up the pieces of American society and function again. 2. Trump wins, and society becomes completely broken for at least a generation if not more. The "civil war" won't be an actual war, but a clear separation within communities that will happen swiftly and silently. People will just find their tribe and hold on for dear life. It's already kind of been happening, but it will be much more obvious and the general apathy towards each side will make a lot of institutions in this country crumble.
  6. I can't speak for Arab Americans, but my experience with Iranians is that a lot of them like Trump as well. My stab at why: They don't necessarily have an issue with a dictatorship or a fascist, power hungry leader. They think there is a possibility of good ones and bad ones. And they think Trump would do good.
  7. I watched this last night. He focuses on plays where UGA showed their dominance than anything else. Didn’t look at from a perspective of what we did wrong.
  8. I appreciate the response. Sincere question: do you consume a lot of political media? Or do you kinda avoid it?
  9. No matter what Sarks says to the press, I would imagine Arch is getting some first team reps in practice this week and everyone will be more prepared for the contingency plan if things go sideways early vs. Vandy.
  10. IMO the best case scenario is for Quinn's NFL future is one HC really likes him and drafts him in the 2nd/3rd round and lets him sit behind an established starter for a couple of years.
  11. I watched the Brooks Austin (Georgia "film guy") video breaking down Quinn's performance vs. Michigan after that game. He was very complimentary of Quinn's play and Sark's playcalling, but was also commenting on Wink Martindale running obvious Cover 3 the entire game which made it easier to pick them apart. Venables and Kirby use a lot more disguises and variety on defense, which seems to confuses and rattle QE. The most infuriating part of Quinn's game is his footwork. The guy spent a year at Ohio State and is on his 3rd year with Sark and Milwee. I have no doubt proper footwork has been taught and stressed by all. It just seems that once Quinn gets a little uncomfortable everything starts to fall apart, even the most basic fundamentals.
  12. Trust in the O-Line with all your own heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to them, and they will make your paths straight.
  13. This is fantastic news. Thought he'd be done for the year.
  14. It'll be the opposite of nitpicking. The expectations are so low at the moment that people will give him too much credit for executing simple plays. Will probably take another loss, but if Quinn comes out looking like dogshit again vs. Vandy, I could see Arch going in early. The tape on Quinn right now is horrendous. Just found this thread with 7-8 good Skycast view clips from OU game.
  15. No one is "nitpicking" Quinn. He has played like absolute dogshit for 2 straight weeks. He is struggling in literally every facet right now.
  16. Reminder what Arch looked like in his last start. I know it's just Miss State, but it was also only his 2nd start. The improvement from ULM game was obvious. Feel like this performance got overlooked due to scoring struggles due to Blue fumbles and penalties. He played great, his footwork and pocket presence were excellent and will only get better. Watch the play at 30:40 mark.
  17. Quinn moved INTO the pressure Saturday night. UGA front 7 fucking brought it all night, but the OL didn't play terribly. There was a pocket most of the time, and he didn't play in it.
  18. FWIW, without plainly stating it, Coach Erwin's comments on OTF this morning make it clear he thinks Arch should start. He's trying to be diplomatic but you can tell he's beyond frustrated with QE's play.
  19. Good QB play overcomes pressure. Bad QB play gets eaten up by it. It's the most important position in football for a reason.
