I definitely agree with Douglass and Lincoln. JFK became a excellent orator, of course he had a great speechwriter, Ted Sorensen, to pen his speeches for him. Another Democrat of the same era who I think was eloquent and inspiring (after reading his speeches) was Adlai Stevenson. I'd throw in...
I'm sure that FSU fans believe that if they only went to the SEC or Big 10 their problems would be over and they'd return to glory. It's far more likely that they would continue to be mediocre and would likely never be an elite team again. If they can't consistently roll over the mediocre ACC I...
He was absolutely a fantastic QB in his prime, no question. I do think he's kind of bitter about how his career ended, and given all of his accomplishments that you listed it's not too hard to blame him in one sense. He definitely loves the spotlight and I do think he's one of those people that...
Conservatives have a long history of bringing about the very changes and reforms they're afraid of and desperately want to avoid, like slaveowners seceding because of their fear that Lincoln and the Republicans would abolish slavery and starting a civil war that would lead to their own...
I well remember watching him back in the day - he was a beast as you said, and a formidable and worthy opponent for UNC. Seemed like a nice guy too, at least from what I remember. RIP.
Speaking of Charlie, it's certainly interesting at how quickly he's completely fallen off the MAGA radar. He was murdered just a little over two months ago, and we read all of those fans who said he would never be forgotten and how they'd work to "carry on his legacy" and went after his critics...
Agreed. I've never made it a secret that I'm not a Schumer fan. McConnell used to run rings around him in his prime, and imo Schumer simply isn't up to this moment in history. As Snoop said, he's been in DC so long that he's lost touch with what's happening beyond the beltway and he's so wedded...
To be fair, given Trump's behavior and way of speaking for decades, how would anyone know he has dementia just from the way he talks and his facial expressions? The guy is constantly confused about even the simplest of things - he just said a few days ago that no one knows how magnets work.
If she wants a future political career (there have been rumors about her wanting to run for governor of Georgia) I don't think this move is going to help her any. If her goal is to move to a sweet-paying easy gig as a talking head on CNN or Fox then it does make some sense, although it's still...
That MAGA guy wearing the weird bib overall/multiple pockets outfit is utterly disgusting, but I'll give him credit for at least just saying out loud and proud what so many MAGAs think in private but don't have the guts to actually say. If you want to know the basic driving force behind so much...
Yep. And at some point if they don't face enough resistance to at least make them think twice, they'll start going after native-born citizens who are critical of Dear Leader in the same way - thuggery, bullying, and intimidation.
It does fit Dear Leader's pattern though, as he is a proven misogynist who doesn't believe that women are good for much other than sex and as underlings who can do his bidding as long as they're physically attractive (Noem, Bondi, Leavitt) and make him look good. He'll never support a MAGA...
She's the latest member of the Trumper FAFO club. I will say that her turnabout has been one of the most surprising things of Trump 2.0. I never saw her, of all people, turning on Trump and then abruptly quitting Congress and her political career, even if only temporarily. Still don't like her...
