Good thing voter registrations can't vote.


Explain how the dead register to vote in the first place.

As Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson steadfastly refuses to work with President Donald Trump’s administration to address vulnerabilities in Michigan’s election system


I stated this a couple years ago. The Democrats control all 3 houses in Michigan and SOS. There will never be a fair election as long as that happens. It's why California's frickery goes on for so long.

FWIW, i think you are confusing justice with vengeance and /or restitution.

Access is justice.

quote:

Wheelchair ramps are not merely the removal of an injustice— wheelchair ramps are a form of justice.


For whom? For one to seek justice, then there must be an assailant. Who is the assailant? Are you suggesting that any business without wheelchair ramps is guilty of a crime?

quote:

proponents of Affirmative Action also view that as removing barriers/injustice.


Which is why AA fails as a moral argument. For one to believe this, one must also believe that all non-beneficiaries of affirmative action are guilty of perpetuating an injustice. Which is absurd on so many levels.

quote:

Advocates of nearly every conception of justice believe they’re remedying an injustice. The disagreement isn’t between ‘promoting justice’ and ‘preventing injustice’; it’s over what justice actually entails.


Are you seeking justice or vengeance? What is YOUR defintition of justice?

Obviously he wrote long after the framers lived. So how did they understand justice?


The equal application of the law.

quote:

In Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address, he famously said “Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political...”

What did he think justice is?


Equal application of the law. It's not hard.

What does America think justice is now?


Equal application of the law.

quote:

For as much as the word is thrown around in this country, there doesn't seem to be a consensus about what it really means.


This may be true for this new breed of morally deranged Democrats. Our laws are based on Judea-Christian principles of morality. So a group of people who reject those principles, and who reject our established laws as well may have a hard time figuring out what "justice" means.

quote:

We mostly use it to describe our penal system, but shouldn't a moral society, including its institutions, be centered around justice?


What is your definition of justice?

re: More damn tariffs. (50% on Canada)

Not to me. I know I'm not the only one.

For fricks sake...Trump uses them as negotiating tools.



Which points out the immediate dishonesty here. If Trump just mentions tariffs, the never-trumper types get all up in arms and start sky screaming. Meanwhile, Trump himself has stated he uses them to get countries to treat the US fairly and/or punish countries for being bad actors. aka IT'S A NEGOTIATING TOOL. Yet the fools can't help themselves but to REEEEE everytime the word tariff is uttered.

Check out the news. This is in retaliation for Canadian wildfires and Canada's lack of/refusal to perform basic fire mitigation practices.

Looking back, we were probably a little lax on the lack of safety standards when we rode a rickety bus around a dirt road up a mountain that had no guide rails to get to the start of the zip line. Otherwise, it was pretty fun.


Dude, that's the standard mode of transportation for excursions in the Caribbean or central/south America. Wife and I went to Antigua for out honeymoon, and went ziplining through Sandals. Same bus situation, narrow arse roads, very large dropoffs, and a very excited bus driver. It was more thrilling than the canopy top zipline. :lol:
You know who is NOT calling out the socialist/communist takeover of the Democrat party? Barack Obama. He could, essentially, end this push towards communism, by going on the talk show circuit or just doing what Van is did. But he isn't. And he wont.

Why do you think that is? Why has Obama been silent on the Democrats push towards communism? Because he's the one pushing for it.

Question about road to glory. I have 1 game left to the high school season but I got offers from all of my top schools already. Michigan was probably my best fit but they signed 1 - 5 star and 2 - 4 star RBs already. LSU is where I want to go but I don’t get as many skill points as Michigan.


Just an update to my question from last night (quoted). So i committed in week 4 to LSU. Progressed to week 5 and saved the game to try both approaches. LSU had less signing bonuses than Michigan. So i tried decommitting from LSU and committed/accepted with Michigan. BTW, if you decommit, the commit point requirements raises, and your bonuses to that school reduce a good bit. Anyway, with my signing bonus for Michigan i had over 500 points to spend, but was 4th on the depth chart. I decided to reload the save, and see what happens when i stay with LSU. Signed with LSU, i had about 250-300 points to spend on upgrades. However, as i signed, i immediately was in a position battle for RB3. Won out that battle and received a few more bonus devolpment traits. Overall i think this was the right move.

RTG at a major school appears to be a grind. I'm 10 games into the season. I averaged 2 plays/game for the first 8 weeks. Since then im now getting 4 or 5 plays/game, not all of them running/receiving plays. half are blocking routes for the starting RB. I received my first NIL deal last week. Your NIL/reputation score seems to be the slowest thing to develop.

FWIW, i started out with a 4 star, but through high school he developed to be a 5 star, and he was the #2 HB in the country and #18 overall.

Does the # of RBs signed make a difference and what about the skill points potential?

I used the foil boat method on my last brisket, rather than completely wrapping the meat . Instead of wrapping the brisket around 170-180, which i found did not produce a great bark as the moisture kept the bark from crystallizing, i saw a video on youtube from smoking dad where he made a boat out of foil and didn't cover the top. What this did was allow it to continue to cook and stay moist, while allowing the top to dry out a bit to form a nice bark. It also had the added benefit of preserving all of that juice, which i reinjected into the brisket before resting, and used some of it in my beans.

Does the game automatically update like last year? I keep hearing of updates but I don’t think anything has updated. Last year, if there was an update and you went to start the game, the game would send you to an update screen and restart. Not getting any of that.

Reason I ask is I’m not playing the game again until they update the rosters significantly.
