Re: 2024 Elections

I think it is a bit too early to call 2024 at this point for Congress and the Senate. The battle for the President has started, and that leader will set the tone for how the 2024 GOP does.

I think the GOP doesn't know how to escape MAGA facsist land, but who knows.

Re: Trump Says DeSantis POTUS Run Would Be 'Disloyal'

Doubt Trump will make even close to the first debate. He knows he is unpopular even with the middle so he is enjoying his last few months of living in liberals heads. You really need a new crystal ball. I clearly remember you saying Trump wasn't going to run again even as he was leading up to his &...

Re: NFL playoffs!

While not an American, I've been watching NFL since the late '80s. The out of bounds hit on Mahomes would get an unnecessary roughness penalty every single time. It wasn't even close IMHO.

The last Out of bounds hit was so close that if they are going to call it like that, then Mohomes should have been called for grounding earlier.

Re: NFL playoffs!

The no call on Mahomes grounding the ball vs the call on Burrow is what really gets me the most. The last Out of bounds hit was so close that if they are going to call it like that, then Mohomes should have been called for grounding earlier.

Oh well. I predict the Eagles win it all.
