My guess is last year’s injury log (playing in ”heathy” in only 3 games last year according to his camp) locked him in as a late round pick. He hasn’t played a season without him missing games to injury, and even though injury list looks random, it’s extensive enough to make it look like he is made of glass.

Now should he transferred for next year or playing in the NFL is an interesting finical choice. Take a $3-4M one year and hope to be healthy all year while burning the long term options associated with only playing at Texas or going to the NFL 4 years with a $1M a year salary?

My guess is that as long as he got drafted, this was the right decision. Better yet, him landing at Miami may get him several years as the #3 and become the cheap #2 clipboard holder and could have a solid career that way (at least financially and also qualify for the NFL pension).

The kid jus couldn’t stay healthy and I think many of the “self sacks” people talk about are tied to trying to protect himself while he was injured or from re-injury.

Went to Texas on his only scheduled visit and signed there today...

My guess he knew where he was going before he ever went into the portal.

The problem Z has is that they lack bodies to now reclaim any territory that Russia currently holds. Russia knows this as well and has been using NK and Chinese cannon fodder to keep up the pressure while they roll into the summer recruitment period.

Ukraine gets weaker day by day in this fight, just as Russia does from a global fighting force perspective. The problem is Russia is weakening at a slower rate now (primarily due changes in tactics and getting artillery shells from NK) and the Ukraine is in serious trouble without a heavy dose of American weapons.

The major mistake was Ukraine not signing off on the rare earth deal when they first had the chance. Once that fell through and the US shut down both the flow of weapons and targeting information it has become painfully obvious that the “support” and brotherhood promised by Europe is nothing without the US involvement.

Once charges are filled, what happens to her politically? The issue I see is that these are multiple stacking federal charges that happened in multiple states (hello wire fraud on top of fraud) and so where do they file the charges?

Do they do they limit the charges to her homes outside of NY to remove the circus from NYC or do they file in SDNY just as a gigantic frick you to the NY political machine?

Is she willing to go down with the ship or try and trade something but to get prison time?

Once thru file charges does she resign? How long will she attempt to stay in office and does she use this as a way to duck out if office before the Trump cases complete their appeals?

It was rendered moot when El Salvador eradicated the gang that was supposedly threatening them for "pupusa" protection money.

El Salvador stated that they have been wiped out several years back and as such, the restriction no longer exists to prevent his removal.

And that restriction was put in place prior to MS13 being designated a terrorist organization, and as such the terror designation would supersede the asylum request.

He went from being a "normal" asylum seeker to in essence, a "terrorist" with the designation. At that point he is no longer viable as someone requesting asylum and there are no hardship limitations to his expulsion/deportation.

The "paperwork" error is that he was not deported sooner, and his status was not updated before being put on the plane, not that he shouldn't have ever been removed.

It is almost like people did not read the SOS statutes regarding nonlegal citizens and the carve outs for being linked to or encouraging others to support a designated terrorist organization.

People are worried about this being misused by other administrations, but unless they literally designate the state of Israel or the Catholic church or some other conservative-aligned national organization a terrorist entity, it won't happen.

For some odd reason, this seems to only apply to organizations that those on the left seem to align with.

Let me tell you a story... What if all is this is just to isolate China and anything else we get out of this is just killing two birds with one stone?

What if the entire point of the massive reciprocal tariffs was to get China to do something so extreme that they are now committed to it regardless of what it will cost them long-term?

What if the entire point of this was to then destroy the narrative that tariffs shouldn't be used and instead to normalize the idea that yes, the rest of the world has been ripping the US off and now balancing the trade deals are needed?

What if countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam all jump to the front of the line on redoing their trade deals and all normalize the language that further isolates China as a trading partner?

What if now since the rest of the world has seen the "stick" and teh carrot, one of the standard sets of terms will be limiting China's influence via pass-through and other trade measures of all of these new trade deals, just like SK, Japan, Taiwan, and V?

What if it was known that the three-pronged response for China would be to increase their tariffs, dump T-Bills, and use that money to inflate the Chinese stock market?

China just sold off their TBills and dumped a ton of hard currency into their own market via their plunge protection program and set a tariff so high that the rest of the world won't question the fact that the US won't remove their new tariffs. Now China has a market that still has massive tariffs on it, less TBills to manipulate the currency markets with and a global market that is more afraid of the "stick" the US carries now that they have seen what happens when it is used and will be much more leery of continued Chinese investment.

What if I told you this is how you can "win" economic warfare with China by isolating them to the point that their already fragile economy may collapse while lessening the potential for a global financial contagion event?

The issue with Europe is the same issue with Canada. They put up barriers to entry and then also massively subsidize industries that are exporters to the US.

Doing a 100% free trade deal will only balance the playing field so much if the other aspects aren't also negotiated. Where things diverge between Europe and Canada is that Europe does not have the massive set of pass-through Chinese goods that Canada does.

Getting the European deal should be easier on paper, but their massive cultural reliance on governmental partnership/subsidies will make the negotiations drag on for a while.
