Too bad the Jews won’t let us fix it. I told my son he could only play games for 2 hours today and a group of Jews showed up at my house and threatened to call me an antisemite. When I refused they held me down and injecte me with fentanyl. Now I’m playing video games all day with my son.

I still think we need to play with tempo and not slow Simpson to change the plays.

The Comments On Muslims Were 30+ Seconds…

I mean, is Tucker Carlson, in fact, a Muslim himself? Do we really know if he supports the Intifada? Has anyone seen him eat pork?

I’m just asking the questions.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how a "back injury" impacts a QB to make them hold the ball longer, run backward instead of stepping up in the pocket and make late/wrong reads?

Probably less than your claim that Milroe just needed to trust his wide receivers

Lmao…we tried to tell you that DOGE doesn’t have the authority to eliminate funding.

Yes they can identify fraud and broadcast on their platform, and if that generates enough outage to affect change, then DOGE can be deemed a success.

But DOGE is NOT saving this country any money.

I guess Harris didn’t watch football after 2020 because we haven’t made it any further since.

The problem I hate with Harris's comment is that it lacks context.

Yes you can claim that Alabama isn’t playing to the standard, but Saban NEVER played a schedule like we just played. And he darn sure never played a schedule like this with the transfer portal, NIL etc - things that are literally what caused him to retire. He retired before any of that really went into effect.

We HAVE to stop the “Fahr CKD” after every loss or bad game. It’s senseless and stupid.

Eventually we will get to a time and place where it is so obvious that CKD is either the man or he is not.

But right now we have a playoff game to win and Harris’s comments, while possibly accurate, are incredibly stupid timing.

So we added a conference game and eliminated a bye week?

YES, on paper and principle, Milton was not pro tariffs.


See my words? It states clearly "NOT PRO TARIFF"

But your very next sentence was (highlights are mine):

quote:

Back to this topic. YES, on paper and principle, Milton was not pro tariffs. In Policy, he understood the need and the results. And he was right as you can clearly see.

---

To which, I replied:

quote:

In doing so, you make the gigantic leap that somehow Friedman is "pro-tariff," or at a minimum, that Friedman acknowledges that tariffs are necessary.

---

So, do not equivocate. You are definitely trying to insinuate that Freidman is, if only by necessity, aligned with the pro-tariff crowd.

You do this because you cannot simply come out and say that Friedman was dead arse wrong about tariffs. Or, more bluntly, Friedman doesn't know anything about trade, or economics in general, because his principles were only based on hypotheticals, and that deep down, he knew tariffs are necessary. And if tariffs are necessary, then somehow, they are good.

This alleviates the obvious conflict. Do you know how absolutely moronic it is to claim that some of the best economists in the last century (Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, etc), who are diametrically opposed to your views, do not understand economics?

Now regarding Friedman's view on immigration, we have to define terms. When he said, "in principle, I would like to see free immigration." What the means Friedman means by "free immigration" is the type of immigration we had late 1800s to early 1900s where people came for a better life, worked hard, assimilated, were productive, etc. And without question, the immigration of that period was mutually beneficial to the immigrants and our society and economy.

So how does the differ than the immigration we see today? It's clear as day, when Friedman states:

"Why is it that free immigration was a good thing before 1914 and free immigration is a bad thing today? Well, there is a sense in which that answer is right. There’s a sense in which free immigration, in the same sense as we had it before 1914 is not possible today. Why not?

Because it is one thing to have free immigration to jobs. It is another thing to have free immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both. If you have a welfare state, if you have a state in which every resident is promises a certain minimal level of income, or a minimum level of subsistence, regardless of whether he works or not, produces it or not. Then it really is an impossible thing."

Several things happened between 1914 and today...The New Deal and the Great Society.

As far as his quote on illegal immigrants from Mexico, he isn't "pro-illegal" immigration. Keep in mind this was 2004, and while Friedman was in the last year's of his life, he was equating "illegal" immigration to the legal immigration at the turn of the 20th century, where immigrants came to work, but were not given welfare.
