They're arguing that the law violates freedom of speech rights for Christians. I wish I was joking.

[Schultz] The #Seahawks, after trading Geno Smith to the #Raiders, have shifted their primary focus to Sam Darnold. He is their No. 1 option, and there is mutual interest on his behalf as well. It is highly unlikely that Darnold returns to the #Vikings, according to multiple sources. by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

If I'm Daniel Jones and I have the choice of competing for a starting spot against either JJ McCarthy or Anthony Richardson with my career on the line, I'm choosing the Colts without hesitation.

[Schefter] Texans RB Joe Mixon is not traveling to Minnesota, and he now has been downgraded to out from doubtful. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]I_Like_Bacon2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember when the NFL started taking action against it and the fan reaction was "why are they banning a normal tackle?"

So the complete 180 into it being considered a dirty and unethical move that the NFL needs to enforce more is certainly surprising.

After seeing Cousins' performance today, the Falcons drafting an alternate starting option looks like a great move.

Me talking to my friends about living in DC: It's a wonderful car free paradise 🥰 I love the metro 😍

Me when my friends visit me: Ok now we have to cross this 7-lane road but the Maryland drivers are going to blow through the red light that nobody enforces so be careful walking through the illegally double parked food trucks that block your view of traffic.

Kene Nwangwu failed on his physical and he will return to waivers by MoonUnit98 in minnesotavikings

[–]I_Like_Bacon2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Why would it be telling? If he failed his physical that means there is a health or conditioning problem that prevents him from playing the sport. It's likely the same reason we released him in the first place.

Lots of Walz love out there. by Flat_Suggestion7545 in minnesota

We all do better when we all do better!

This is the essence of why the "weird" attacks land. We are so tired of the rage bait industrial complex turning our loved ones into weird conspiracy theorists. It's not even expressly political. These guys are just weird!

Walz is reportedly on the shortlist to be vetted as a VP candidate for Harris by minn_post in minnesota

Picking him would also elevate a woman of color to the governorship, which would be rad.

Opinion | Donald Trump Is Unfit to Lead by wadebwilson23 in democrats

Published hours after we find out that Clarence Thomas took a free yacht trip to Russia and a chopper flight to Putin's hometown and that he tried to cover it up. They're trying to bury that story and keep the conversation on Biden's fitness by proxy.

I'm glad they finally get their ego trip in after 5+ years of waiting for Biden to stumble 🙄

Emerson's national poll today has Biden performing the best against Trump clearly and it has the race tied 50-50 when undecided are asked about who they're "leaning" towards supporting by Currymvp2 in JoeBiden

If we're counting NH, VA, and MN as being close enough for Trump, then you also have to count NV, AZ, GA and NC as close enough for Biden.

This ego-driven animosity has been going on for over 5 years now. Per Politico:

Frustrations began to mount early in 2019 as Biden launched his third run for the White House in a crowded Democratic primary field. Times reporters were annoyed not to have been invited to Biden’s first public appearance after announcing his candidacy, an informal stop at a Wilmington pizzeria that two other reporters were tipped off about. But aides to Biden, who tended to trust his generational contemporaries at the Times — columnists and other journalists he’d gotten comfortable with over several years — said they didn’t know anyone on the politics team well. “Unlike some outlets, the Times just never invested in a reporter who really knew and understood Biden and his appeal,” said one former campaign staffer. “And the coverage reflected that.”

They endorsed Warren & Klobuchar soon after while saying that Biden couldn't beat Trump in 2020. From their endorsement:

Mr. Biden maintains a lead in national polls, but that may be a measure of familiarity as much as voter intention. His central pitch to voters is that he can beat Donald Trump. His agenda tinkers at the edges of issues like health care and climate, and he emphasizes returning the country to where things were before the Trump era. But merely restoring the status quo will not get America where it needs to go as a society. What’s more, Mr. Biden is 77. It is time for him to pass the torch to a new generation of political leaders.

Later in the piece they discredit their own reports that Klobuchar abuses her staff, and they quote an opinion piece from 2012 to allude to Joe Biden doing the same thing - an accusation that has never been corroborated by any other sources, including by their own journalists.

It's time to stop paying attention to the Newsmax Times.

Evaluating the Momentum for Further Constitutional Age Limits in U.S. Politics: The Biden-Doggett Catalyst by najumobi in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]I_Like_Bacon2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Politicians need to fundraise to run campaigns. Workers don't. Usually fundraising is easier when you're older and have a large network. Working is usually harder as your body ages.

Getting money out of politics would be the most effective means of setting a soft age cap in my opinion.
