The Bengals defense sucks, but it's not fair to compare Lou's entire 6th season to Golden's first 5 games.

Also, the 2024 team had an offense that stayed on the field more than 3 plays at a time. Average time of possession is down from 11th to 32nd.

The myth among working class Republicans is that if you work hard, level up your training, and support free market capitalism, then one day you too could become rich.

The reality is that we live in a rigged society where the wealthy trade influence for more wealth.

Meritocracy is a joke.

I guess "left it all" doesn't include the stylishly decorated home with vaulted ceilings and modern appliances.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Also, noticing that they don't allege she profited from this scam. If her intent was to pretend it's her 2nd home, but then rent it out as a landlord, wouldn't there be a specific mention of how much money she made?

Kerkering already sounds like a verb so it would make perfect sense for it to become slang for what just happened.

Nobody wants to win on a kerkered play like that, but these things happen.

I'm sure it's very common for Nobel Peace Prize winners to (1) threaten combatants with escalation if they don't agree to his peace plan, (2) assassinate boatloads of civilians in an undeclared war, and (3) send troops into peaceful cities of so that he can terrorize their citizens.

Point: Donald Trump has dementia. He says things that make no sense.

Counterpoint: Donald Trump is stupid. He says things that make no sense.

Counter-counterpoint: Donald Trump is an ignorant bigot. He says things that only make sense to other ignorant bigots.

1. When Trump says "Who?" the correct follow-up question is "Do you know what habeas corpus is?"

2. That no reporter is willing to ask Trump if he understands what "asylum" means, or why he thinks water in the PNW flows to SoCal, shows that journalism is dead.

The emperor's press corps is naked.

It's hard to believe that Belichik would be weird and distant with his coaching staff considering how successful the rest of his coaching tree has been over the years.
