Saw this on the interwebs, thought it was a good discussion topic. I’d honestly go Mexico. Mexico City or Monterrey. Maybe San Juan, PR as a wild card. We got a Canadian team (and used to have two), so why not Mexico?

Michigan does have a pretty large population of folks of middle eastern descent. Lots of good Lebenese restaurants, if you’re in to that kinda thing. I can sorta see how sympathies might lean towards the folks in Gaza there.

He’s still plans to serve out his term which runs through Jan. 2027. We’ll see how that goes…

I accept that TDS is a thing. The weird thing to me is the lack of concern that it’s a thing, almost like it’s a “haha funny” thing instead of a “some people will lose their minds and melt down and he will be opposed at every turn and nothing will get accomplished” thing. It’s a valid concern.

Bill Nelson of Josh Cribbs?!? Pfft

Now there’s a reference not everyone will get, haha. I’m a fan of the flick “Get Yourself a College Girl” so l know the song. Some great music acts in that flick. The Animals, Jimmy Smith and the Dave Clark 5. Mmm hmmm.

Thanks for chiming in Katfan! Go Browns!

Is that any different than how people respond to anyone or anything they dislike? We dislike someone, we find supporting material to substantiate our dislike. Didn’t we all take some degree of revelry in Ben Rothliesberger’s unmasked sleaziness? I just assume that anyone bashing Trump doesn’t like him, and same for Biden. Overtly stating that is unnecessary as far as l’m concerned. I can figure it out with context.

Van Buren had a wild facial hair game. He had these weird cheek burns thing going for him. Sorta like side burns but just on the cheeks.

I just realized we haven’t had a bearded President since the 1800s.

I went with Grover Cleveland this year, whose given first name is Stephen. He's famous for being the only President to serve 2 non-consecutive terms, and he liked smoking cigars and drinking beer, prompting Fitness Magazine to label him one of the least healthiest Presidents.

I think most of the lists l’ve seen in my life re: this topic almost always have Harrison at the bottom, mostly because he only made it a month into his first term before kicking it. This list has 4 dudes ranked worse than him, lol.

I thought you were joking. I ran into a paywall, it’s been a while since l tried to read the Blaze. When did it become subscription based? Nonetheless, the 4 paragraphs l could read were weird af. “Harry Potter fans will recall how the books’ lead hero navigated the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets and the myriad reveals and clues: warnings written in blood on Hogwarts’ walls, frozen cats and students, and the exodus of spiders. All of it led to the great epiphany of a hidden genius who was dancing in the dark of subterranean depths, shrouded in layers of secrets. But until the ultimate reveal, the audience was misled by ambivalent scenes composed of dreams, which seemed to point to another character’s guilt.” Frozen cats! I love it!

I spent a few minutes on his site and it looks like he’s trying to champion a few things Republicans care about. Shoring up the border, not taking guns away. This is solely based on a few minutes of poking around his site so just a snap guess. I could be wrong there.

I didn’t see a post on this but wondered what y’all’s thoughts on Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy deux running as an independent? I saw his Superbowl ad and took a peek at his website. Link below. https://www.kennedy24.com I figure he’s dead in the water as both parties will team up to squash his candidacy. Still, interesting move with the guy being a Kennedy and all, and his ideas aren’t too half baked from the bit l read.

It’s certainly portrayed that way at the national level. I suppose my comment was pertaining more to interests relative to media that we consume to satisfy those interests. By and large, when you’re in to something, whether it be classic cars, stamp collecting, Browns football or whatever, it’s normal to seek out media on those things. Typically the media we seek out is uplifting and supports our interest in a positive way. Politics seems to be an anomaly where the media that really gets action is the stuff that pisses us off. We actually seek out negative material to read, and invariably it turns in to a spring board for arguments. This thread is a microcosm of that. Just an observation, l’m not above it or anything, but l do think it’s interesting. For anyone teetering on the brink of mental health issues politics is probably not a good interest to have.

This flick dropped on Apple+ recently, l watched it last night. It was definitely interesting and had its moments. I consider myself a Scorsese fan and l thought he did a fantastic job. I guess my main gripe is, as the flick went on, l ran outta characters that l actually liked.

Forkjosborn!!!

I read the article in the OP. He’s depicted as a pretty miserable dude. 32 years old, still lives with his folks, career never took off. He tried to sue the US govt for allowing him to take out student loans. I get there’s a lotta useless college degrees out there, but most of us suck it up and don’t blame the govt for it. He tried to sue his former employer too. Politics was probably not a good choice of an interest for a guy like that, unless he wanted to be more miserable. There’s plenty of outrage porn in political news. You can spend hours reading about shit that pisses you off.

Jacques isn’t a very American football kinda name.

https://theathletic.com/5234027/2024/01/28/taylor-swift-eras-tour-super-bowl-travel/?source=user_shared_article This is a link to an Athletic article so you might need a subscription to read, but long story short, Taylor COULD make the Superbowl. You see, she’s headlining 4 shows in a row in Tokyo leading up to the Superbowl, so it’ll be a helluva time crunch, but she COULD make it. She owns 2 jets, but might have to land in LA since airports in LV are booked solid. Weird and well researched article. As far as NFL subplots go, the whole Taylor/Travis thing ain’t so bad. Quite ridiculous, but kinda cute. Who knows, it might be love! And how sweet is that?

Joe Thomas sent my meat. There was a delay in the shipping, they ran outta pepperjack cheese. How does Wisconsin run outta pepperjack cheese? I dunno man. They had to substitute some smoked cheddar. The coolest thing was getting his autograph with the order.

The Alice Donut version has a certain charm to it.

Yeah, that’s akin to my beard game, which is mostly a mix of laziness and winter face blanket.

I was surprised to see this news too. I figured the team did well enough to keep all the coaches employed, but like Bob said, maybe they all had a heart to heart and figured this was the way to go. I’ll kinda miss Stump Mitchell. He was the longest tenured coach, l believe, and he had one helluva beard. One of the most aesthetically cool looking dudes to ever grace a sideline imo.
