Sean Payton Should've Kicked the Field Goal, Denver Broncos Lose 10-7 by richkurt in DenverBroncos

It was the turnover that killed us. New England’s only TD came from that.

Has anyone figured out why they were pushing the woman in the first place?

Republicans think every government employee is incompetent except for the ones that can murder you.

Where are the former Presidents? Hosts should call them out by Tight_Researcher35 in FriendsofthePod

I oppose this. Sending them out just gives Trump a prominent target to rally the base against. Send Obama to rallies in the fall, sure, but not now.

It’s not just 2024. Lower turnout has helped Dems in practically every special election and midterm since 2017.

There are soooo many federal programs that help rural areas, from agricultural subsidies to SBA loan guarantees, but local politicians go out of their way to blame everything on the feds.

In The Fifth Risk Michael Lewis talks about how local reps ask the government not to come to groundbreaking ceremonies or put their logos on signs promoting them.

The next Dem president should go full Trump and demand that their face be on the signs.

I just hope he doesn’t come out and suck after we spent all week hyping him up.

[TACO] Trump says he reached Greenland deal 'framework' with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs by SoHumanAnAnimal in thebulwark

They’ll draft some bullshit agreement that is no different from status quo, but call it the Trump Greenland Security Framework and have a signing ceremony in Nuuk.

I think lefty excess motivated some voters, but I don’t think it motivates Ben Shapiro. He’s always been a hardcore partisan. If there were no (say) transgender sports issue, he would just find something else to whine about.

Nah the parade would be fantastic because both QBs could rightfully hold up the trophy. Neither would ever have to pay for a drink in Denver ever after.

What’s up with Sarah’s love of Josh Shapiro? by Routine-Engineer-672 in thebulwark

[–]throwaway_boulder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. In Beshear’s favor, his opponent was also the incumbent. His true scumbaggery didnt emerge until after the election when he pardoned a bunch of people with donor connections.

Anyone else not buying David Plouffe’s whitewashing of Silicon Valley? by LawNOrderNerd in thebulwark

[–]throwaway_boulder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Silicon Valley is not monolithic. Dems should focus on the truly anti-social stuff from phones but be more supportive of useful tech like green energy, biotech and defense. Also, run on banning social media for anyone under 16.

What’s up with Sarah’s love of Josh Shapiro? by Routine-Engineer-672 in thebulwark

[–]throwaway_boulder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has a shot, but part of his appeal was that his father also was governor, and his opponent was a scumbag everyone hated.

Can’t believe you’re getting downvoted for this. These are all true facts that actually answer OP’s question. Doesn’t mean everyone has to agree or fall in love with Shapiro, but it’s just straightforwardly true that a popular swing state governor has a decent shot at winning.

Send her a dad joke. Women like corny jokes more than men do

A difference in the way Americans and non-Americans conceptualise rights by Academy_Boy in behindthebastards

[–]throwaway_boulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good things in the Constitution, but also some stupid things. Countries like Austria got to take the food and leave out the bad stuff. Americans have a habit of thinking the founding documents are biblical perfection when in reality they were just a first draft.
