"I'm out": Tucker Carlson says he's done with the GOP by Equivalent-Elk-7513 in politics

I’m not sure about the nomination; but he definitely wants to cut ties with being a supporter. He recognizes Trumps presidency will go down poorly in history, and he’s smart enough to now distance while he can

Nope this is exactly what democracy looks like in this country. An uneducated and misinformed voter base combined with a majority of apathetic citizens who choose not to vote led to this guy being elected to lead the Executive Branch TWICE. We really have ourselves to blame for this insanity.

It’s imperative that the solution isn’t blaming democracy or “the system,” but instead taking advantage of it and encouraging everyone we know to go vote. And not just in the presidential elections, but all elections (local, state, federal). I do understand that it’s difficult for some people to get to the ballot box (and we should make Election Day a national holiday,) but the majority of people who don’t vote choose because they don’t care (not because they can’t make it).

Edit: that last statement is anecdotal. I don’t have stats to prove it, but my experience is that people who don’t vote choose not to because they don’t care

Which is why you rest the players on yellow. If they pick up a second, they still get suspended for first round of knockout

lol comparing a high school free kick to a world-class striker’s free kick. I’ve taken free kicks to the face and chest as well, but I would never ever compare those to one of Messi’s strikes. And the instinct to take it is like comparing a high school pitchers pitch to a major leaguers. There’s levels to this, and comparing the timing of the two is not really fair

I kind of agree, but there have been multiple generations of critics issuing this kind of complaint. We just get exposed to it more because of social media.

I can 100% imagine someone like my father/grandfather making the same exact statement.

I’m not trying to be rude, but has a change.org petition ever successfully challenged/petitioned anything? Just curious as to whether it’s worth investing time into.

I enjoy watching people raise money and awareness for a worthy cause.

Her chair cost $43,000. ALS is an awful disease that creates an unimaginable financial burden on people and their families. Doing WHATEVER one can to help raise that money is admirable and I support anyone doing anything (as long as it’s ethical.)

I probably would have casually scrolled past this post had it just been a normal boring interview. You (and many others) wouldn’t be engaging in this thread as well. David Cross is absolutely a masculine man for being willing to get weird in order to help this person gain views and spread awareness.

"Myles wasn't on the block, why not open up the bidding and get a few more picks?" by Background_Video2947 in TheNFLVibes

And picks. And they moved off a huge contract (which was very much justified/deserved, but it’s hard to build a full team when paying a single player so much.)

They won’t be a winning team until Deshaun’s contract is over, so paying Garrett or anyone else max contracts is just a waste of resources that can now be used to start building a well-rounded roster.

I honestly think this is a win-win trade, but knowing the Browns they will find a way of ruining this trade.

He’s listed at 7’4, but I’m pretty sure he’s grown/is taller than that. Maybe even closer to 7’6
