I think something needs to be done. Some states have perverted the system. Every time new ways to vote have opened, it weakened the creditability of the system.

I don't think the Feds should take over but there no doubt needs to be some standardized reforms that need to be implemented between all the states.

Bottom line is it needs to be tightened, not loosened.

We did. As soon as the decision to hire Monk for his O mind, they knew the odds of keeping Schwartz were pretty slim.

Alternatively, his $46 million salary could get converted to a signing bonus and we extend him a year if the plan is to play him this season (which would be hilariously tragic). Sadly, this is what I suspect will happen and he will be an anchor around our neck for another two to three years.

That would be second best.

The best would be that Watson somehow comes back looking like the player we thought we got when we made the trade.

I doubt that happens and if so, there would be fan backlash, but that would last maybe 2 weeks if he comes out looking great.

Thanks - that is a great read. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/...J1A.hI0k.nkvkWMjlfUft&smid=url-share

It should be rammed down peoples throats every month from now until the next general election.

I disagree with part of the conclusion:

""The investigations also suggest that many politicians and public interest groups, all of which have access to these reports, may not actually care that much about election security. The constant talk of noncitizen voting is more likely about scoring political points and bolstering fund-raising.""

It's not about political point scoring - it's about undermining the election process. Spreading fear. It's about trying to use that to then control the elections, either with "independent observers" who have no business doing anything, let alone trying to intimidate voters. And it's about justifying the removal of voting stations often (statistically most often) in areas that often favour votes for Dems..... Supporting observable data and reports below.


[1] The Leadership Conference Education Fund Report (2019): Titled “Democracy Diverted,” it is one of the most comprehensive studies. It found that from 2012-2018, Texas led the nation in polling place closures, with 750 closures, disproportionately in counties with growing Black and Latino populations.

LINK

[2] GAO Report (2016): A non-partisan Government Accountability Office analysis confirmed that after the Voting Rights Act preclearance was lifted, the number of polling places in selected jurisdictions decreased, and the reductions were greater in counties with higher shares of Black voters.

[3] University of Georgia Study (2023): Found that in Georgia, polling place closures between 2012 and 2018 were associated with longer wait times and reduced voter turnout, with effects concentrated in Black neighborhoods.

[4] Brennan Center for Justice: Multiple reports and articles detail the trend and its impacts.

“The Racial Bias of Polling Place Closures” (2020) discusses the correlation between closures and minority communities.

I was here. Opening kickoff at 12°, windchill -5°. We were in the sixth row of the dawg pound. Four dudes in the front had their shirts off since halftime. At the beginning of 2OT, someone passed down a flask of whiskey and everyone in the row took a sip. Greatest game I've ever seen live.

No the elevator is working just fine. But a person that supports a man who is a convicted felon and a suspected Pedo... So why should I take anything he says seriously... Bitcoin or the weather of the price of Rice in China.

Don't forget Donald Trump is a good Christian, sells bibles with his name on it, but can't/won't qoute a single passage that has mean to him. His answer- all of it. He hates many, but claims Christian belief. I hate no one, we are all made in God's image, but we can dislike people for how they conduct their lives. Peace.

One or all of them must have learned stuff from Jim. Great coaches can teach attentive assistants a lot, without even trying to.

Is that the type of "actual conversation" you were referring to? A three word reply two words of which had to be censored? Typical trumpian. rofl

They did hire Warhop as their OL coach. This guy is just an OL coaching assistant.

I would be on here promoting them if they were my cousins instead of whining about another poster. This thread began on December 12th. Almost two full months ago. Now I'm not one who is so obsessed with a certain poster that I count how many music videos they have posted in any given thread but obviously you are one such person. I'd be willing to bet they make medication for that. But according to you I have posted 31. That just slightly over 0.5 posts per day in this thread.

Obviously you need to look up the definition of spamming because that isn't it.

Do you actually have any music videos to add to a music video thread or did you just appoint yourself troll of the day?

You have no idea just how foolish you are making yourself look. But that's okay it seems to be what you do every time you show up here anymore. Come after me with nothing of substance to add.

What a very "special" person that makes you.
