How difficult would it be to pay the players a fair salary based on a percentage of revenue the league takes in and provide health insurance and a pension when they leave?

holy mother of god, make it stop 😱

I think most people aren’t feeling it yet. Life goes on, still getting paychecks and social security, putting the news/talking heads in the background. Just trying to survive without the noise. Depending on where you live, you may not see ICE. IMO, it’s going to take more for people to rise up.

It’s 2. Followed by 1.

The no kings protests were the largest ever - yet he and his cronies carried on and the msm barely covered it. His corporate lackeys will fold when it affects their bottom line.

I totally agree. As I said, he’s a despicable politician who is willing to abandon Democracy for the sake of winning. That’s why his defense of flag burning is so out of character.

I can’t stand Mitch, and I consider him a despicable politician with a “win at all cost” approach to govt. I’m just saying it’s one of the only redeeming things he’s ever defended for more than 30 years, and I find it ironic as well as evidence McConnell stupidly underestimated Trump.

Surprisingly, the right to burn the flag has been vigorously supported by Senator Mitch McConnell.

I know, folks. Just saying I have yet to hear that the intention of the shooter was to target and murder ICE agents. It sounds like he was just shooting randomly into the area of the facility. Maybe there’s evidence to the contrary?

Was this man a detainee or an ICE agent, because this post isn’t clear on that.

Perfect for Elon’s legion.

Louisville is a good example of the largest city in KY, consistently blue, that pays more state tax dollars than it receives in support from the state. Louisville props up all the red counties in KY.

According to the really helpful graph you posted, men commit 97% of the mass murders. I agree people are intimidated and won’t focus on that, and some post photos of Kristi Noem with an automatic rifle as it that proves something. She perpetuates gun culture, but that doesn’t change the stats.

Are you saying the few women outliers makes it hard to pin down?

And it’s not exactly a secret, yet I usually get the sense that we’re not supposed to dwell on how a shooter’s sex is predictable. People get so defensive about it.

But it’s a correlation that is often dismissed. If guns are the problem and most acts of gun violence are perpetrated by males, why not discuss a key part of the equation. What is it? Biology? Patriarchy? There are deranged females, but they don’t perch on top of buildings and shoot people.

Omg. Those awful carob brownies.

Not sure where you are coming from, but one built on creative and substantive problem solving is a pretty great way to live a life.

It sounds like he’s done things to protect his relatives from his sickening father. Perhaps a trigger for “Trump’s in the E files”?

I had no side effects except a mildly sore arm. Not sure why it’s different for people, it just is - but by all means get the shot if you can. It may be our last opportunity.

Agree. I prefer the tartness of Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced, with turkey, a bit of good mayo- on levain bread. Easy and close to perfection
