12 of us have been up and two of us have winning records.
Only 3 of you have started a thread for a game the Ms won. But it's early, right? :(

Re: No New Wars!

I know that a lot of people are going to dismiss anything from CNN. I'm willing to read and think about ideas from a lot of sources, including CNN. They have an "analysis" today that argues that Trump, not Netanyahu, is calling the shots in the Middle East. They cite the cease fires in Iran, Lebanon...

Re: Game Thread Competition : Season 6

There might be some sort of negative connotation but what I'd suggest for Dtrain is AA. I don't know if he's ever considered it. I think it be great, right in his wheelhouse. He'd be the star of the meetings. To me the toughest thing about dealing with these sorts of struggles is the social aspect....

Re: No New Wars!

Even better is the unbridled TDS - while failing to understand that literally erveryone on this forum is currently pissed at Trump . Imagine being so blinded by hate and dulled by Risperdol that you missed that - what a beautiful display of lack-of-reading comprehension. Sad. It is true that everyo...

Re: No New Wars!

At the moment, Trump is the example of what's wrong with our country. Elected to root out corruption, ends up being blackmailed and/or compromised. He's the festering wound. But behind the wound is a virus that needs to be eliminated. Good summary of the difference: Trump didn't get blackmailed or ...

Re: No New Wars!

Excuse me, but if America is so great then why the Make America Great Again movement? MAGA seems first in line complaining about the place I am far from MAGA, but I try to understand viewpoints other than mine. I'm completely happy to be corrected by anyone regarding the following. I believe that "...

You guys won't believe this but I bet $1000 that the score would be 27-5. I just won 17.5 Billion dollars. :)
I bet you are not a huge Carson Taylor fan at the moment. ;-)

Re: 3.5 Million Epstein Documents Released. DOJ scrubs link to Trump document.

Back to the subject of the thread ... Here is what I wonder: The Epstein estate is paying millions to accusers. It makes sense that the identities of these accusers is redacted from the public version of the documents. But is there evidence of the alleged crimes in the documents? Or was all the traf...

Re: No New Wars!

I can't imagine that many people are going to defend Iran and the Ayatollahs. Between the domestic repression/murder of protesters and the acts of the "proxies" (Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) they are responsible for a lot of the trouble in the world, in my opinion. (I don't care if Khamenei was a simple,...

Re: M's sign Mitch Garver to minor league deal.

The problem with Garver is he's only better than the other backup catcher. If having Garver means he gets 5-10 more starts than Knizer, I dont think the difference between Garver/Knizer is as large as the difference between Garver and anybody else that will be in the lineup ahead of him. So, to me,...
