Exactly.

If it's that big of a problem, then people will stop watching. Plain and simple. NFL isn't food/shelter... it's entertainment. Let people vote with their wallet.

I think this would be a more effective 'gotcha' if at least half of Congress didn't have similar skeletons in their closet. Let's face it, the only difference between Swalwell and a significant portion of politicians on both sides of the aisle is that his misdeeds are getting airtime.

Trump claims controversial post depicting him as Jesus was actually him as a doctor: ‘Only the fake news could come up with that’

“I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross,” Trump told reporters outside the White House in a hastily arranged press conference on Monday. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”

He blamed “fake news” for comparing the image to Jesus.

Here's the thing about that. I simply do not understand the problem. I mean I get the fact people do not like NFL games going to streaming. To get these games you have to pay an extra fee. But why is it they feel a need to investigate the NFL over it?

It's basic capitalism 101. The NFL is conducting business the same way they always have in this regard. The rights to broadcast these games is put up for bid. The highest bid wins. That's how capitalism works in its most basic of forms.

Monday Night Football is a package that is bid on. The same goes for Sunday Night Football, Thursday Night football, the holiday games, playoff packages and the Super Bowl. Which network or service bids on covering either the NFC or AFC during the regular season as well.

Streaming services have become popular enough that they now have the funds to bid and compete for the broadcasting rights to those games.

I think people need to consider that when it comes to the home teams things have actually improved. Years ago if the home team didn't sell out the game it wasn't wasn't televised. Now it's televised regardless.

As I said, I understand the frustration on the part of the fans. I do however find it odd those who promote capitalism now seem to side with those trying to interfere with it.

IMO with all of the friction over everything from BLM to the Bad Bunny halftime show and the tantrum thrown over it this is nothing but an extension of that. Using the power of the government to harass a perceived enemy.

The Pope?

trump attacks the Pope?

Said he is "not a fan and that the Pope is weak on crime? " Would not have got elected if not for him.

The stable genius insults the Pope. Like he is in a political campaign against him.

Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable.

PS: the AI picture of trump as Jesus says it all.

thank you for saving the world donny.

The Clinton joke was hilarious!

Eric Swalwell quits California governor race amid sexual misconduct claims

None of this is difficult. When you have four women accusing you a pattern has developed. When it's a he said she said the water is a little more murky. But when it becomes a he said she said, she said, she said and she said it's time to get him out of there. Remove them both and move on.

This should not be a partisan issue. This is a sexual abuse issue and no side is absolved from such actions.

And while they're at it 28 women have publicly accused Donald Trump of various forms of sexual misconduct, ranging from sexual assault and harassment to unwelcome kissing and groping, dating back to the 1970s.

I laughed. Thanks

LMAO - McCarthy is definitely a stand up guy who would never shill for anyone. Let's actually wait and see. . . like I said - if he's actually guilty of something (bearing in mind how corrupt this DOJ has been in going after political adversaries) then prosecute him to the fullest.

It made sense then.....makes even more sense now.

As a Braves fan it is always hard for me when they play the Guardians.

I keep it as my American and National league teams.

Chris Sale is no day at the beach. Very uncomfortable at bats for left handed hitters.

Chase was very impressive for a young hitter. He got good wood on the ball against a great lefty.

He has a bright future.

I heard. The part you missed is the blockade is to stop ships leaving that have met Irans requirements...like being just ships that paid tolls or are friendly to the regime. We are simply meeting their blockade on one end of the strait with one of ours on the other. They aren't going to be in control of which ships enter and exit the strait.

We stop when they stop.

Cool. Sounds like you were a bit overdue in getting a solid portion of your funds in to safer positions, but it has been a bull market for a while, so why not, right? We have to do what we feel is right. Smart decisions and trying to time markets are two different things.

As you said, when time isn't on your side, you have to try to hold your position because sooner or later you are going to dip in to those funds to maintain a certain standard of living and do some of the things you and yours have dreamed and talked about for the last 40 or so years.

Bill Clinton and the Pope both died on the same day. Due to a minor clerical error, the Pope went to Hell, while Clinton went to Heaven. When the Pope arrived in Hell, everyone realized the mistake. Due to an issue with the union, they couldn't swap the two until the next day, and the Pope had to spend the night in Hell, while Clinton spent the night in Heaven. The next day the paperwork got worked out. On his way up to Heaven, the Pope ran into Clinton. Clinton asked the Pope, "How was your night in Hell?" "Very educational," responded the Pope. "I've learned a lot from the experience, but now I'm glad I'm going to Heaven. I've been waiting all my life to meet the Virgin Mary." "Ooh, sorry," said Clinton, "you should have been there yesterday."

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" The survey was a huge failure. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant. And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

Welp .... ugly day all around for the Guards. I don't understand pulling 2-2 DeLauter in favor of Bo Naylor ... who is hitting .115 or so.

Let's not forget that Swalwell is facing allegations from staffers and he deserves the right to face the process of investigation and the right to plead his case and defend himself in a court of law..if he broke any laws.

I'm a bit concerned about the timing of the alleged conduct that is said to have occurred years ago. Swalwell deserves a trial and to be judged by a jury or judge.

If the allegations are judged to be true, Swalwell should be subjected to punishment according to the law. But if he is judged not guilty, so be it.

I have to hear the facts of the case before I judge anyone guilty...jmho

Welcome aboard, Preacher1. We are all trying to keep the faith. Browns need all the help they can find! LOL Bard

It is. If he is guilty he should pay the price for it. Injecting propaganda that this somehow makes him a traitor seems to be the game they play these days however. I think that's why they like using rando's from X so much instead of actual news sources.

It's tempting to see this and complain about consistency across the political spectrum, but at the end of the day any time you can take out the trash it's a good thing.

I am a couple past 60-have about 4-5 years of work left unless they want me to still work as part time as needed-So, if i take a colossial hit, i don't have 20-25 years to make it back.

And when I moved money last week-I was about 65% index growth stocks and 15-20 foreign growth stocks, most of the rest in bonds and prob less than 10% money market fund/cash.
Way too aggressive for my age and the geopolitical time we are in.


Don't think I have lost money at end of a year since 2008-up until 2025 I am probably averaging mid teen % growth at end of each year.

Oh my frigging God!

Sorry about to hear of your rough patches, but it’s nice to see you around DT. And please get back to posting more often.

I take it you haven't heard the latest? Those ships we heard about entering the region yesterday? They were brought in because trump is going to "blockade the Strait of Hormuz".........................

Live updates: Trump says he’ll direct the US Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would “immediately” begin a blockade to stop ships from entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran peace talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement. Iran has demanded the right to collect tolls from vessels traveling through the strait, but Trump said no one who paid them would “have safe passage on the high seas.”

https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-04-12-2026

So trump claimed he wanted Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and now he says he is going to close it? You know, the exact same thing Iran is already doing which you claim they don't have the authority to do? So is your claim now that Iran has no authority in international waters but trump does?

Your claim was "As long as Iran continues to insist that they lay claim to international waters". I stated the circumstances were completely different but trying to state that changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to that of your own country isn't "laying claim to it" will be a very hard box to wiggle your way out of.

After consideration maybe I should have worded this differently concerning the Gulf of Mexico. Trump feels he has the authority to control renaming anything he wants in international waters.

Remember one thing about investments, you don't lose money until you sell.

I don't know where you are in your investing lifecycle. Once you pass 40 you should begin to get more conservative with each decade. At least that was my guide. You still need to keep maybe 20- 25% of your portfolio in some solid growth stocks if you hope to stay ahead of inflation.

If you are young, you might have sold low when you consider you might still have 25 years of investing in front of you. Markets go up, markets go down. Sometimes it's best to just go with the flow even if in the short term it is hard to look at your financial statements.

Come on man, that isn't near the same thing. We aren't collecting tolls and shutting down shipping. The only shipping we have shut down is the fast boats smuggling drugs to our country. You can call things anything you want. You can't take control like it is your private canal.
