The halfway point of the season, the Miami Dolphins 3-3 host the 5-2 LA Rams. It’s going to be very different for the 3-3 Dolphins because their veteran fun loving QB is no longer at the helm as he is replaced by rookie Tua Tagovailoa. There aren’t many parallels to find in the history of the NFL but I do recall Eli Manning replacing Kurt Warner in NY for the Giants in 2004. The NY Giants were 5-4 and after replacing Kurt Warner who had thrown for 2054 yards with 6 TD’s and 4 INT’s ended up finishing the season 1-6 with Eli Manning at QB. Ryan Fitzpatrick after 6 games has 1535 yards with 10 TD’s and 7 INT’s. There are similarities, but to me the biggest disparity is that the Dolphins at 3-3 are only a game and half behind the Bills (5-2) while in 2004, the Giants at 5-4 were pretty far behind the division leading Philadelphia Eagles who were 8-1 and comfortably in first place as they cruised to a 13-3 record. After watching the play of the Bills against the NY Jets last week, those Bills are fortunate to have won that game.
So even though it’s technically game #8 for us and not the start of the second half of the season, this season will be forever divided from this point on. Did the Dolphins make the right move inserting their rookie QB with a chance to win the division? We’ll find out, and this Sunday’s matchup against the LA Rams will give us an idea. The Rams boast a +52 point differential after 7 games, the Dolphins +47. The Dolphins are 12th in the league in scoring (26.7PPG) while the Rams are 18th (25.1PPG). Defensively, the Rams are 2rd in the NFL allowing 17.7PPG and the Dolphins are right behind them at 3rd allowing 18.8PPG. The teams are pretty even but definitely take a different approach getting there. On offense the Rams truly have had a RB by committee approach with Darrell Henderson leading the team with 87 carries for 411 yards followed closely by Malcolm Brown with 65 carries for 274 yards. Cam Akers was drafted early (RD 2 pick #52) by the Rams but minor injuries have stifled his season. In contrast, the Dolphins have relied almost singularly on RB Myles Gaskin with 82 carries and 340 yards and then Matt Brieda has had a few carries sprinkled in some games for 33 carries and 115 yards. The disparity is even wider in the passing game where Gaskin has 27 receptions to Breida’s 7. For the Rams, they seldom throw to the backs, Goff loves the WR combo of Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp who have 30 and 37 receptions respectively. The Rams offense relies much more heavily on its run game than do the Dolphins, the Dolphins have about half the rushing yards.
On defense I think we match up well against the Rams passing game. The pass rush which has come alive can make things difficult for Goff. The Dolphins secondary, now at full strength with Byron Jones healthy opposite Xavien Howard. Nik Needham has been handling the slot and safeties Bobby McCain and Eric Rowe, along with Brandon Jones, Kavon Frazier and Noah Igbinoghene will probably once again leave the Rams to focus on the run game. At the time of this writing, I don’t believe the Dolphins have made a roster move to replace Davon Godchaux at DT. Raekwon Davis will start there but until they bring someone for the PS or acquire a DT DE’s Zach Sieler and Jason Strowbridge will likely fill in. This is important, because I think the Rams are going to try and control the game with their run game so our depth and strength on the front 7 will be imperative to success at stopping the run. The Dolphins are midpack allowing 745 yards rushing (124 YPG)) while the Rams are #12 with 702 yards allowed (100 YPG).
On offense, all I can do is guess as to how we attack the Rams. LOgic would dictate that we’re not going to be doing a lot of prototypical NFL dropbacks with Tua, that we will have him moving around to keep him away from Aaron Donald who as 8 sacks in 7 games, along with 15 QB hits. The good news is that no one else on this Rams defense is close to that, so the task will be neutralize Donald and take your chances with everyone else. My hope is that we get TE Mike Gesicki more involved in the offense. Only twice has Gesicki been targeted more than 5 times and in 2 games he’s had only 1 reception. I want that to change. He’s a big time weapon and should be better utilized. The Rams won’t be easy to run against but they have very little to go on with Tua except 3 plays in the Jets and his college film, so Tua is the “X” factor. In some ways I’d be surprised if they lean heavily on Tua in this game but sometimes great players make it so, and if that happens, I’m willing to let Tua be Tua.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
OK no more vote counting until later today!!!!!!!
Later!
AOC wins her election in NY. NY deserves everything they get. Maybe they can re-elect de Blasio to finish what he started and destroy NY for good. Embarrassing!
NYC is becoming a shit hole again. I’m seriously thinking about getting out of this area. Not because of politics, just because I’m tired of how it is in the metro area.
It’s a shame, Giuliani cleaned up the city but then they decided to go back to Democratic leadership and look where they are now. de Blasio may be the worst Mayor ever and only in NY can a POS like that get two terms.
de Blasio is Dinkins Part 2.
Guys AOC is a member of federal congress aside from being vocal about local politics she has little affect on state or city politics. She doesn’t make those laws
The state legislature of ny flipped in 2018 to being Democratic. That flip was fueled by a lot of anti-Republican/anti Trump sentiment. It’s very likely to flip back if Biden wins, by 2022. But it was Republican from 2008-2018
NY will be fine. It’s been fine since I arrived in 1997. I like to take credit for that….lol. The challenge for nyc is to adjust to a more mobile/work from home work force, bc I’m not sure it’s ever going to be what it was pre covid. People just don’t want to gather together and a lot of people/businesses were productive working from home. So nyc really has to figure out bringing people to the city in the new work from home age
I’m actually thinking of moving to westcHester, but it’s not the city, it’s that I can work from home a lot, and basically shop online and I want a dog and a BBQ….lol
The nyc mayor race actually has very low voter Turnout. Deblasio is in term 2. He can’t run again in 2022. He’s not popular (unlike AOC who is very popular) he just gets boring blocks to vote for him and that wins local elections.
Long as you dont BBQ the dog, if you are planning on that stay in the city where thats allowed lol.

Give us all the escapism we need….lol
Here’s me doing my part
Stat of the Day
In games with both cornerbacks Byron Jones and Xavien Howard on the field from start to finish (Patriots, 49ers, Jets, Rams), Miami is allowing 13.8 points per game. On top of the game’s best scoring defense, Miami is averaging two takeaways, 5.5 yards per pass and an opposing passer rating of 61.5 with both Jones and Howard available.
So you’re saying we SHOULD have traded Howard!…LOL
The RB Howard maybe. Definitely not a fan of the idea of losing X
OK I’m out!
What a CLUSTERFUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is a clusterfuck? I scrolled all the way back to last night and cannot find what would get that reaction out of you.
The election maybe?
In a day and age were you can find out if your favorite porn star shaved her (or his) private parts on your phone.
We can’t tally votes in an 16 hour period??????????
You cant tell that from the porn?
Because the state laws say that they cant even touch the ballots until today and today’s business day started a 9am in some of these states.
It’s part of the whole “small government” thing man. You either embrace being a small government conservative an allow each small government make it’s own rules or don’t.
I thought you did?
Limited staff in these small counties doesn’t help. For one person to count to a million it takes 11 days, 13 hours and 46 minutes That is continuous counting without a rest.
How many votes are being counted?
I just hope that the people counting these ballots aren’t the same ones counting COVID cases. LOL
Good News!!!!

If you didn’t plan that way your inept!
County has X number of employees it takes X amount of time to count. Simple math. Do you suggest that all counties pay overtime out of insufficient budgets or hire temporary staff to handle election counting?
If so, move to that state, run for state representative and change the local laws.
There is no timeline in the constitution for votes to be counted. The ONLY set dates are set down in the 20th amendment. January 20th is the day the President MUST take office. That is the only date set in stone.
I plan mulit-million dollar projects for a living too, licensed in 46 states each with their own rules with each city in each of those states having THEIR own rules. 100’s of smaller bureaucracies aren’t necessarily better than one giant bureaucracy.
This isn’t a Biden VS Trump argument!
Jesus the World is fucking laughing at us.
And from what I’ve seen, they have every right to!!!!!!
Ill say this, despite whether “manipulation” is occurring or not. The longer it drags out the more suspicions and accusations are going to start flooding in and that going to be on either side depending on who wins.
More laughter!!!!!
Did you think if it was close there wouldn’t be accusations not matter what happened?
They HAVE been laughing at us. Since we elected an unqualified buffoon in 2016
This is why we can’t have conversations!
If anything the results have shown that Trump is right about one thing — the pollsters don’t know how to measure his supporters. Were off by like 4 or 5 points in almost every state.
Like me they hang up on non-essential calls!
I wish my out of warranty auto calls only happened every 2 years! 😉

——————————————————————-
Im sure they probably would be, but not as much as it dragging out and there being more time in “counting”. Like i said, the longer it drags on the more that thought is going to fester.
Someone just told me they are going to have to recount in Wisconsin because more votes got cast than they had registered voters.
I cant find any supporting information though, just said a recount is likely as they have a law that says any election decided by less than one percentage point can be recounted by the loser. There was some mention about irregulatities in some of the voting districts, but didnt go into much detail.
What a surprise🤔 but you guys keep telling yourself, that there’s no cheating going on with these mail in ballots.
They’ve been mysteriously finding bags of mail in ballots all over the place. Surely the votes are right down the party line.
Biden only needs to finish out the 3 he leads in to win. That will put him right at 270, where as Trump needs to close out the one he is leading in an take one of the others from Biden. Bidens lead in those states, Mi WI and NV are under a percentage point, while the ones that Trump leads in currently are at lead 2% leads.
at least 2% leads i meant.
D
They are reporting there is a WI recount request from the trump administration.
It’s coming down to tens of thousands of votes
Every candidate has a right to request that, so that’s Trump right to demand it
You don’t need a “because” to demand a recount
Don’t buy into the conspiracies bc so,e one throws it out there
Buying in, because of all the evidence, that says they’re cheating.
Especially when false on their face. If a state reported more votes than registered voters it would be headlines everywhere. And if you buy into media control of info….. Trump would have tweeted about it 12 times by now.
FYI
You can look up the Wisconsin registered voters online on their election commission
https://elections.wi.gov/node/7220
You can do that for every state if you want to
Here’s a hint. There are more registered voters than their are votes in Wisconsin
There are over 3.6 million registered voters in WI
There are under 3.3 million votes counted at this time
Aka, that allegation that people are putting out there is certifiable bullshit
And each of us can look into it if we spend time
All I ask is for people just to accept the decision, whichever way it goes and don’t fucking whine about it. It looks like Biden right now so prepar yourself for that, and those that voted for Biden, congratulations
I do t really have a problem with trump or Biden demanding Recounts when it’s like a 1% difference
That’s a legit request
Make sure it’s right and make sure it’s accurate
But I’m with you, just accept the results and move on

It’s like the easiest thing to prove….it’s would be a completely dumb way to cheat
But a recount is warranted just bc it’s such a small margin
There is nothing wrong with trump demanding it
Make sure they get it write
But I think the reason trump lost Wisconsin, is bc the libertarian candidate got 30k votes

I don’t think they were allowed to count the mail ins as they come in per state rules
We got Florida early bc they were allowed
I think that’s the correction to make
Count votes as they come in (but don’t announce them)
I don’t think that favors a party
I’m not understanding why PA may need until Friday though….they should be able to finish mail ins today
You know the parameters your working in!
Make a plan for F*&ck sakes!
Piggy, I’m not talking about the recount. I’m talking about conspiracies of rigged elections etc.
I’m with you
And it’s happening on both sides
Piggy,
I ain’t researching nothing. If I want to walk in here with a mixing bowl of excrement and fling it around the blog with a wooden spoon then that’s my God given right as an American. Enjoy your facts and like, whatever.
Lol
It’s not over by a long shot. This is going to be worse than the hanging chads. But as long as the Republicans hold the Senate there is little Damage Biden/Harris can do. Tax increases are off the board as will be firearms restriction and court packing.
I think you won the senate
Looks that way.
Piggy says 3.6m registered, 3.3m voted in Wis. Doesn’t that at least seem suspicious that high of a percentage of people voted?
At 4am there was a huge dump of votes for Biden in several swing states, really suspicious.
Do you know anything about how election results are reported? I sure don’t. And they are still counting and working and reporting right now. What was it about that 4AM dump that got you suspicious? Again, don’t know enough about how such works to judge one way or the other.
no I don’t think that’s suspicious in terms of the numbers
I don’t have Wisconsin numbers on that, but nation wide in 2016 of 157 million voters over 137 mIllion voted
It’s in this pew research link – 4th para down
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/11/03/in-past-elections-u-s-trailed-most-developed-countries-in-voter-turnout/
So 3.6 v 3.3 actual voters sounds consistent with that
Generally when people register , they vote
The reason we have low voter turnout is bc large chunks of our population don’t register to vote
On the second issue, I’m not particularly suspicious of the late voting drops. That was predicted in Wisconsin and Michigan and PA. I think Stanger eluded to it yesterday when he talked about fla being allowed to count votes as they come in.
But I think a recount is warranted just bc it’s close. I don’t have a problem with that
And if it ends up in court, I don’t have a problem verifying real votes through the courts, even if that takes us into January
Just get it right and we will all have to deal with the consequences
as early as 10 pm last night networks were saying that urban centers would not be able to report until 4 or 5 am. That’s when I went to bed. 🙂 It’s only a ‘surprise’ if one isn’t aware of the pattern. Rural results come in quicker than urban simply because of the volume. It was common knowledge that those 4 am and 5 am reportings were going to happen.
https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-seeks-voting-stop-25762f69b27dfbccc4fd8077fb5fdc91
Knew this was coming. Thank you Al Gore.
Trump said he was going to do stuff like this even before the election, but yeah guess Gore paved the way for such.
we all knew this was coming
I think PA is separating votes (or keeping the numbers separately) so that they can give accurate numbers of votes that arrived through 11/3 and votes that arrived after 11/3
They GOP sued PA to stop it before last night and lost
But they can win on appeal
So PA needs to have that number ready
PA and one other state are segregating votes. I think all votes post marked before 8 PM Tuesday should be counted, but none after that.
I think that’s right
And they should be
That’s an open legal question. Can states count votes received after but postmarked before that deadline? That’s a legit question by the GOP. But under the constitution states get to set the time, place and manner of elections. If that is the argument before the SCOTUS textualists, it’s an uphill climb for the GOP.
Gotta give the good Pig credit for calling this one. When he said it was an outlier….. but 14-hours later the nation is fixated on it.

There’s a scenario where PA isn’t determinative.
It’s bc of Nebraska’s weird system of district rather than a winner takes the whole state
If Biden wins district 2 in NE and wins Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Minnesota and Nevada (hes expected to win Nevada and Minnesota) he will finish at exactly 270 in the closest election ever, even if trump wins PA
(Piggy bows and farts too)
🐖💨
Phish
It’s going to be a weird dynamic in the senate and a little unsettled for two reasons
1. there’s a GA runoff coming I the special election in January
2. There are two independents (Sanders and King) on the senate from two liberal New England states, who typically vote with democrats. So while the republicans have a majority, and Mitch McConnell keeps his leader position – it’s may not be a majority in an actual vote . It’s going to be weird
Are they newly elected?
No
I’m talking about Bernie Sanders and Angus King
Ah…I always count them as Dems.
Piggy, the legal challenge was coming regardless unless there was a landslide one way or the other. Damn lawyers…
I can’t lie.
I would be billing ten thousand dollars an hour for either side if they would hire me no matter what it meant….lol
I’m shamelessly going to brag. The one candidate I gave too won. Was a huge underdog. And even though both Trump and progressive people hate her….. she won and Trump lost her state. Way to go Senator Susan Collins. Maybe the people of Maine think like I do .
I can’t wait to see those new episodes of “The Apprentice”. 🙂
😂
Long way off from that Randy. And even if Biden wins oh yes there will be Trump TV. I at least am convinced of that.
stanger,
It took me 4 hours to wordsmith that damn joke. Why you gotta crap on my picnic? Lol
***
Truth be told I never watched “The Apprentice” anyway. My fervent hope is after January I never have to think of Donald Trump ever again. I’m just concerned over how many staplers, pens and paper he’s gonna steal from the stock room on the way out.
LOL — wish I could tell you different, but think Trump will be with us till the day he dies. No way around that.
Michigan has been called for Biden.
Arizona and Nevada would be checkmate.
“President-elect Biden” …
… just thought I’d leave that in the room, then close the door behind me before I get a nickname. 😉
LMAO. nice.
Rhino — I wasn’t sure either, but learned last night that yes Florida reports county results before the polls in the panhandle close. Am sure Trump liked them.
Not to call anyone out, but if there was going to be anyone complaining about whether the election was fair or not, it was definitely all coming from the Trump side. I see it all over. Sometimes you just gotta shake hands, and go back to business, or whatever else it is you do. Claiming it’s not fair is fucking pathetic.
Was that a complaint? 😉
I think it’s okay for people to vent
But it shouldn’t linger
Let’s face it, everything about the last couple of days has been weird
It won’t be easy to let the end results sink it
It has been Trump’s to lose for the last 4 years and he did. Despite what his policies have accomplished…and they have accomplished a lot…he could never put his ego aside. He energized his base, but energized his opponent’s base more.
Now we have to hope Biden doesn’t confuse the football with a shaving kit and that he survives 4 years.
LOL @ “…hope Biden doesn’t confuse the football with a shaving kit…”

The reason for the clusterfuck Local Partisan Politics
A clean bill was proposed to allow the votes to be processed before the election (Open the envelopes, confirm they are signed and flatten them so they can go through the machine) but politicians fucked it up by insisting on getting something if they allowed the bill to go through the legislature.
Typical politicians

Stanger, I was talking about this with one of my bosses today. (has trump flags flying in front of our office) I expressed my concern about IF Biden wins then we can expect constant interference by Trump for the foreseeable future.
The norm has been for the past president to “go away” At least until the next election cycle, and even then they showed restraint.
Carter didn’t publicly criticize Reagan
Bush 1 didn’t publicly criticize Bill Clinton
Clinton didn’t publicly criticize Bush 2
Bush 2 didn’t publicly criticize Obama
Obama didn’t publicly criticize Trump
Again, at least until the next cycle
I can’t imagine Trump showing any restraint, well, with anything. It’s not in his nature. he will be on twitter trying to interfere and gin up his followers daily.
Phish was right anyway. The Republicans still have control…and McConnell is still there, so nothing is probably going to change too much. And, the conservatives control the SC too.
***
Frankly, I just want some peace and quiet. Bitches been crazy.
That’s not final. There are POTENTIALLY 2 seats in play in GA
Loeffer the appointed senator was in a 4 way race that is going to a run off in January.
The incumbent for the other seat Perdue is in the lead right now with with 50.3% of the vote with 5% of the vote still to be counted state wide. Again the mail in vote which is slanted dem by the nature of the mail in vote might put Perdue below 50% which will trigger a run off in January as well.
It is very possible that the Senate can flip to the Dems after a new election on the runoffs.
One thing I can guarantee, IF both races go to run offs we will see record breaking national money pumped into these state elections. GA will be a shit show
oh, just in the time it took for me to type this we has dropped to 50.2%
Wait, what about all the fearmongering about this country would be burned to the ground and we would just become Russia, China, lose our freedoms, our guns, etc if Biden wins. Are you trying to say our country is bigger than that? What a concept. Maybe we can get more people to understand that.
We survived 4 years of Trump, we will survive 4 more years of Trump, or we will survive 4 years of Biden, no matter which fucking side of the aisle you are on. I swear most people, even intelligent people, become parroting, bleating sheep.
Wyo – No, I just don’t like sore losers. Lose like a man, or whine like a pussy. Do whatever suits you best. 🙂
Is Steve out campaigning for Trump in Nevada? He could use some help there . . .
Wyoming, I found that article above by typing, literally “what is with the clusterfuck in Penn vote count” LOL
I went to bed last night really expecting 4 more years of Trump. Can 2020 get any crazier? I guess the only thing that would make it wackier than it already is, is if all the litigation and recounts end up flipping it one way or the other. The way this year has gone, can we expect anything less? lol
Why haven’t we had an update to Nevada’s numbers literally all day?
I really am just struggling about Nevada
They stopped reporting the vote, because they need to know how many more ballots they need to win. Same as they did in Mich, Wis, GA.
One of the craziest things to me about the coverage is Fox News called Arizona for Biden about midday, but CNN and NBC have left it to close to call, and what I’m hearing on NBC it makes sense it’s still open.
I found it very strange last night watching. I can’t find CNN on my dial, but i have the rainbow of “news” channels from Newsmax to MSNBC all strung out in 11 or 12 spots in a row and flipped back and forth up and down the dial and noticed huge swings in the races they were calling. At one point NBC called a race with 6% of the vote in. I was like really!? I mean we EXPECT that southern state going for Trump, but with only 6% reporting?
Oh, I didn’t realize they called Arizona last night. That’s crazy
AZ as we speak, is still in play for Trump
I mean a lot has to fall his way, but it’s still an open question
Exactly

Nice! Washington tagged me in his tweet. Fins up!
you must have been his first follower … like… ever. lol.
LOL very true…
PA, Wis, Mich, AZ, and NV still in play.
Early morning 100% of the 139k votes that came in, in Mich, with no down ballot votes were for biden. The same cheating we told you was going to happen, happened.
This election will go on past inauguration day, so Pelosi may be president, until they figure it out.
4chan is not a ‘source’ 😉
With all the cheating the dems have done, now you see why they cried so much about putting ACB on the SCOTUS.
This will go thru the SC and Trump will win😏
Expect civil war.
“Expect civil war” … shame on you. Do you talk to your mother with that mouth. You complain about ‘violent protests’ but threaten ‘civil war’. Sentiments like you have expressed right here is why “Trumpism” will be no more than a shit stain on this nation’s history. The thing about shit stains is that a load of laundry and we can move on. That’s what we are doing. The reality will be that the Republican tax cuts will stay intact, all that will change is that there is now a moderate in the executive branch who will rebuild our State Dept to full strength. BDS has already started (Biden Derangement Syndrome) 😉
I’m not threatening, I’m predicting. You think the dems are going to take it lightly, when Trump wins in the courts?
Steveccnv,
look closely… the legal threats being made are the same legal challenges thrown out BEFORE the election.
You are being “primed” for “Trump TV”, better known as Grievance TV, to air in late January, 2021
MAGA = Trump University (et.al.) Check your credit card limits cuz you will be asked for your info after the election.
Biden rebuilding? What has he ever done that makes think you think he’s qualified to do that? This is not me being salty, just being honest. I don’t see Biden as being a capable engineer of anything, including putting on the correct shoe on the correct foot.
The facade of rebuilding is better than the reality of ‘tearing apart’. Perceptions become Reality.
Trump wasn’t a man to bring the country together but I do think his supposed role of being the separating the country has been overstated and blown out of proportion. Democrats were crying the day he took office, he wasn’t going to win them over when all they wanted to do was to get him out. Just my take of course. He certainly could have been more inclusive, but that’s a social skill, and he lacks any of those.
MikeE, “social skills” are CENTRAL to governing. I do not give Trump a “pass” because he lacks social skills. That tells me he lacks ‘leadership’ skills.
I never said he was a great leader either, but on the other hand, he had things he wanted to accomplish and I do think he was able to do many of the things he set out to do, despite the fact that the Democratic party was trying to oust him his entire tenure. I think they should be just as embarrassed as most Democrats think he should be for his behavior.
like… violating international human rights laws by turning over 500 children into orphans (?). I live in South Texas and visited these “containment centers”. Trump violated U.S. law by not allowing asylum seekers. His entire administration will not be able to travel overseas because they are human rights violators (like CHINA). So, yeah, I hold him accountable for what he said he would do (which is to violate international laws on human rights that WE as a country led and fought for). The things “he wanted to accomplish” are direct from the culture wars of the 1920’s (hmm, around the time his daddy was in the KKK). I am proud that people fought to oust him for his entire tenure… I am prouder that he is a one term shit stain. I’d rather have a career politician in Biden than a career con man in Trump. 😉 I know there are posts of you supporting John Kasich (strongly). … and he spoke at Dem convention against Trump. Time for you to decide what you really believe.
That’s all you got, Trump put kids in the cages Biden and Obama built. Orphans? You mean the families that sold their kids to illegals that wanted to get across the boarder.
All kids are separated from their parents when the parents commit a felony. Why should these fake families get special treatment?
steveccnv,
Again, shame on you. Wipe the kool-aid off your t-shirt. Learn the law.
Wait, never mind about the law. President-elect Biden is the law now. lol
Rhino – I decided what I really believed when I cast my vote for Trump. No hesitation. Biden isn’t a good guy, he’s a practiced liar like Trump, but he’s probably a little more crafty at it. Like Steve, I don’t get why you only hold Trump responsible for being against illegal immigration. His predecessors from the Democratic aisle (Clinton, Obama) wanted the same thing, stronger borders, more border guards, and yes, Obama had those cages built. When Trump wants these things, he’s racist. I don’t have to make excuses, I think illegal immigration IS a problem, but now all of a sudden the left has taken a stance that American taxpayers should support and help these ILLEGAL immigrants. Yeah, be proud, that’s ridiculous. I look at what’s happening in NY under liberal management and it’s a freaking disgrace. Between Cuomo and de Blasio, they’ve destroyed NYC. Let’s see how wonderful Joe is, or will it be Kamala running our country? Time will tell. I just dread the day when AOC’s squad and those like her get more traction in your party because if you were scared of Trump, then I’m terrified of those people. I’ve said here my like won’t change much no matter who wins the election and I meant it. If those radicals take over the party that won’t be the case. I hope it doesn’t happen.
I just read closer – Are you saying Trump’s father Fred was in the KKK?
Good morning. Just throwing around ‘conspiracy’ to show how easy it is.
Pennsylvania is still counting and have 89% reported… people are spreading false narratives as to why it wasn’t completed yet.
Here is a list of states with LESS percentage reported because they are STILL counting:
(Penn is at 89%)
New York 78%
New Jersey 66%
Maryland 73%
D.C. 70%
Mississippi 80%
TEXAS 85%
Utah 78%
Cali 66%
Oregon 85%
Washington 85%
Alaska 50% (!!!)
Note: Nevada 75% and Arizona 88%
Where are the conspiracies for these states about why they are still counting?
The states that are close being targets for “suspicions” about why they are still counting is theatrics.
If Texas ever becomes a ‘swing’ state (which I doubt) would that last 15% be allowed to be counted…
I made the mistake of being snarky about pre-election story lines. However, that doesn’t change the point that there are a lot of states where it takes as many as 2 weeks to count all the votes. Pennsylvania is one of them.
I don’t subscribe to any conspiracy garbage so you can leave me out of that convo, thank you.

Rhino – In regards to your hyperbolic post about making orphans, here a link to U.S. asylum laws.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158
There is no such thing as international laws, only international treaties to which the U.S. is signatory. U.S. law trumps those. Other international bodies do not write U.S. law. Nor is their a law that says just because you apply for asylum that you must be granted asylum. The reason those “children” (anyone who claims to be under 18) were separated from the people who brought them to the border was that those people were unable to establish a legit reason for applying for asylum in their asylum interview and there was reason to believe the children they brought were not theirs.“My life sucks in my own country because I am poor and live in the 3rd world.” is not one of the enumerated reason for being granted asylum.
Biden is not yet President-elect, although I am sure he will be. And, as you said and has been discussed, nothing really changes. He will get his chance to solve COVID and all the social complaints out there and in 4-years we can judge how he has done. Vaya con Dios to him.
As for Steve’s civil war, there is already one going on. We’re just not fighting it yet. The ANTIFA/socialists/communist/racist (BLM) riots and violence in Portland and around the country is an uprising that with the intent to overthrow our way of life. At some point either the governments, local and national, will do their job or the people will. Pretty straight forward.
He’s off the rails. Typical histrionics from that side, they excel at that. Obama has the cages built and he’s viewed like this by his minions.
Trump enforces the laws and uses the cages and he’s viewed like this
Please read above my reply to Mike E. I agree with your evaluation of ‘hyperbolic’ as I strayed from my intent to squash the freak outs about votes still being counted.
All good. And you are correct that counting has always done on foe days after the election. It’s just normally in the background. Unfortunately, in this election they have set up an environment and a scenario that allows for the questioning of what is being counted. And the democratic run states that passed laws immediately before the election that expanded ways and allowable time to vote are as much at fault as anyone. The Law of Unintended Consequences and the media ensured that states that were labeled battlegrounds would be contested.
Wyo – Thanks for the football brother! I know you’re trying, and I appreciate it!

On Austin Jackson, Brian Flores says he went through a couple drills. A little bit of rust. We’ll take it day to day. But it’s good to get him out there.
So if Austin Jackson gets back into the lineup (even if next week or the week after), do they keep Hunt at RT or does he go back to the bench? I like that our rookie OL are getting some great experience, but what is going to be best for Tua once Jackson IS back in the lineup?
I say go young!
It’s not like the rookies have gotten beat like a drum!
Feel bad for Davis! But we all know he should a back-up.
From folks who didn’t want Tua and want Trevor. (not me necessarily, although I do like Lawrence more than Tua)
We’re undefeated this season when Jesse Davis plays LT, just saying
We are undefeated with Tua at QB as well….
All of the sudden we have more good OL-men than we know what to do with. How…strange.
Good drafts matter, right? It’s amazing the haul of OL our front office made in ONE year.
With all the draft picks from last year and coming up this year, another draft like the one we just had can really fill out this roster with talent. (I should throw in Wilkins from one year earlier, as well. Its nice to actually pick a star in the first round).
If Breida’s hamstring keeps him out vs Cards, that leaves Howard, Laird, and Ahmed. ugh.
Washington is under Covid protocols … gotta hope Breida can play and/or Howard has a “prove it” kind of game, otherwise we are one dimensional.
This, I think, will show us if Flores can ‘out coach’ based on personnel (much like what the Pats have done for years).
Maybe they find some touches for Malcolm Perry. Cards defense is nowhere near what LAR defense is, so maybe Perry gets around the edges (?).
I don’t know anything about Ahmed. The other two are known quality. Maybe we see Perry. Or Bowden…he has some time at RB.

Niners vs Packers tonight. A bunch of Niners starters will miss the game due to Covid protocols. Williams, Aiyuk, and Samuel will miss the game due to close contact with Bourne who has covid.
The NFL has obviously already adapted their covid response since this game is going forward even though the Niners have players out and also closed their facility.
Tua struggled with the Rams’ blitz, but I can’t see it having close the same affect.
I can’t get the Ford trade out of my head. Can’t anyone just tell us the truth?
I agree Ford was just a guy, that played admirably for us last year, but he’s not dynamic enough. We already have Parker and Williams that are possession type WRs, and need someone that can play quick and get separation.
Have Perry and Bowden already passed Ford, enough that they needed to get rid of him to get the young guys more PT?
Well shit! I almost forgot!
It’s GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think not subscribing to conspiracy is ignorant, because what it says is you believe what the govt and media are telling you, but that’s just my opinion, WTF do I know.
In the Obama admin they said no scandals, but once he got out we started hearing about all the things he and Joe schmo were doing. Was it ignorant to believe nothing was going on?
How about Joe and hilllary’s private foreign affairs, they didn’t get exposed until later, but were deemed conspiracy, when brought up, when they were happening or shortly after.
Acting like you’re above conspiracy might make you feel better, to each his own I guess, but I’ll take the reality approach and treat them like possibilities, if the reported facts seem to make sense.
If you think 139k votes coming in at 4am in Mich, all of which were for Biden, with no down ballot votes makes sense to you, then go right ahead and believe the bs the left and the media is feeding you.
For arguments sake let’s say this vote dump was bs. Maybe it is, but until proven it wasn’t I’ll consider it happened, because it makes more sense than not.
The right was against mail in voting, they said it was ripe for cheating. Seems they were right, but let’s see how it plays out.
there isnt any evidence of widespread cheating, Biden got the most votes of any candidate in history
Trump beat a seriously weak candidate last time, a woman that nobody liked, lol
this time, he was no match for a man that half the nation likes
Yeah right, on no cheating. If true, why wouldn’t they let the Republican observer in Philadelphia get close enough to do his job?

The biggest issue with pot on a national level is in Banking regulations. Banks that are Federally backed are not allowed to do business with the “pot dealers”
My sister is the CFO of a national bank in CO and they had to shed a bunch of customers in the commercial loan arm because some were landlords and those landlords had “Income” from pot stores. They were not legally allowed to accept deposits from those customers anymore.
I usually don’t even engage in these conversations, and I don’t even bother researching wild conspiracy theories, but I’m curious.
What’s your source on the 139k votes all going to Biden? Are any republicans arguing this is true? I know I’ve seen one of Trumps most ardent supporters Christie come out against the rhetoric. I’ve also seen a number of conservative senators come out against the BS. Has Fox News or any of the more respected conservative outlets reported this is true? Not reporting that Trump or someone else claims this, but reporting that it’s true?
I know this is a rabbit hole, but present your case.
Several different people, people I’ve never seen before were on Foxnews last night saying it’s true. One guy showed the graph for the votes coming in and in 3 states it shows Biden line going straight up in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Like I said, I don’t know, if its true, but I trust the hosts and their judgement, and I know what the other side has done the past 4 years, and will stop at nothing, so until it gets proven false…
We know it’s easier to cheat with mail in ballots, so let’s see what happens with the lawsuits.
Proven fact in NV, they turned down the setting on signature match to its lowest setting, and we know more dems voted by mail, that’s a proven voting cheat.
Ok, thanks for the response. I watched Fox News literally all day yesterday except for when I’d flip for a few minutes to the other channels coverage just to see if they’d called Arizona yet, lol. I didn’t see it mentioned once (I did stop watching around 5 or 6), so I was curious where you were getting this.
Cheers, bro
this is exciting, My portfolio is skyrocketing. Wall street moved onto Biden 3 months ago, and investors are BUYING now, my portfolio has never exploded like this before
tech, solar, alternative energy, Lithium, electric cars are going straight up this morning!
im not going to say i told you so, but this is a trend i had to spot, my career depends on indentifying trends
the bull rush isnt done yet, tommorow should be a nice dip before they rocket again, long hold them for serious gains!
cant forget the pot stocks, they are on fire too, Kannabis Harris will legalize MJ
There certainly are some pockets, that are going to explode, but be on alert, if Trump starts gaining some momentum with the cheating, they’ll go down quick.
Outside of these pockets, the market in general will be stuck, like walking in place. We all know the GDP will be horrible under Biden, once he starts raising taxes, businesses start to leave, his cozy relationship with China rekindles…
Again be careful what you wish for, but there’s certainly ways to make money under any admin.
we all DONT know that, according to Moodys, and other wall street sources the economy will recover 2 years faster under Biden, versus Trump
it might SHOCK u, but the nation will roar for the next 4 years with Biden
wall street moved on to Biden 3 months ago, now they are more confidant because Biden won in their billion dollar eyes
That’s the biggest line of horse shit I’ve ever heard.
The fact is when Trump got elected the market soared for 16 months, because of all the businesses that were coming back to the US.
How exactly is Biden going to improve the economy, when he raises corporate taxes, increases regulations, starts the Biden green new deal…?
Salvon Ahmed has a good juke step and acceleration. Breakaway speed.

Harris doesn’t have the ability to legalize weed or really much power at all as VP if she is the VP
If anything we might see federal agencies look the other way on marijuana possession charges. But on a federal level, congress will need to pass laws or remove laws to get that effect, it wont come from the executive branch
On the state level (a lot more criminal charges come on the state level)
4 states legalized marijuana one way or another this Tuesday
Arizona, Montana, South Dakota and New Jersey
On a separate note, Mike E and Tim, let me know when you want to get together to watch a Dolphin game in NJ…
🍻 🍃
agreed, she will need the help of congress, Harris will sponsor the bill to reschedule it
And it will die in the Senate.
However, FLORES gets my vote for coach of the year, last year Miami was the worst in the NFL on points scored against, now the Dolphins are leading the NFL with the stingiest defense!
the Dolphins can get more talent in next years draft, and then Fores, Tua, and company can seriously compete in the 2021 playoffs!
I agree he should be coach of the year, at least for what he’s done so far this year.
Legalizing marijuana is being handled by individual states. I doubt any President is going to try and push it on the entire country, there’s no need to. Let each individual state decide how they want to handle it. Props to NJ for finally passing it. Now they have to set up the parameters as to how much is legal, where does it come from etc. Well done!
Well
The reason why it’s federally relevant is bc there are both state and federal laws
So theoretically even if a state legalizes it, some one can be prosecuted for possession on a federal level
Ideally if there is a consensus around the country, I think it should be addressed federally
But I agree that as a practical matter, the states are able to handle it until that day happens
I don’t know why my state is lagging so far behind in this issue
Harris will sponsor a bill for resecheduling
Piggy – Yeah man, we should get together, it’s been a while since our team was palatable to watch.
Legalize weed is such a fucking political thing. There is no reason to force or to fight it. It’s essentially a non issue. I really don’t see why its as big a talking point as it is. Will it really change your life one way of another if it is or isn’t legal?
Nope. For me though, when they set the parameters in NJ, I’m going to get me some kush. I wouldn’t do it when it was illegal because I wouldn’t take the chance, but now I’ll be happy to light up every now and again.
Legalizing it on the federal level is huge, because it would allow them to use credit cards at dispensaries, instead of the current cash, that’s ripe for robberies.
After NV legalized it in 2016 they said 60 or 70% of them had been robbed by the end of 2017.
I really don’t have much of a stance on it, except that I don’t like the criminals taking advantage of low hanging fruit, and for that reason I’d probably say to legalize it federally.
Nevada is supposed to take a dump at 9 PST, so we should see those numbers change finally, lol.
I know most Trumpsters are in full bullshit mode, and most Bidensters are in full gloat mode, but this thing still isn’t over. I don’t trust the pollsters or projections anymore, so I want to see NEV and ARZ numbers get closer to fully counted before I’m confident we have a president elect
Get some popcorn and sit back, then after Pelosi is president for 4 months we may have our real president🙄
Piggy – What I mean is there are some states and lawmakers that will fight tooth and nail to keep marijuana from being legalized federally, so may as well let states handle it individually. I understand the concept of being illegal federally and legal within the state but can’t comprehend how anyone could be charged criminally while being in a state where it’s legal. Like the FBI is going to apprehend someone with a spliffy? lol
The federal laws surrounding it should only be if it crosses states jurisdiction. Federal should only be involved in those circumstances
It’s nice to have an HC who’s specialty is actually good. How many offensive gurus have we had where the offenses were offensive?
Past two at least
I didn’t even know we were allowed to develop players until we got Flores. For the last couple of decades I thought players were drafted and they had a base talent level they came into the league with that they weren’t allowed to increase beyond…
LOL, didn’t mean to put this comment as a response here.
Are they going through with the recount in WI?
Yeah, Bookman and Randy are fervently recounting each and every vote
The Trump campaign will have to pay for it. Wisconsin state law allows the that the state will pay for a recount if the vote difference is within .25%, and allows a recount to be called for if it’s within 1%. So the Trump team is perfectly within their rights to call for a recount, but the state won’t pay for it.
It’s the same state that Jill Stein paid for a recount. It changed a few hundred votes. Trump is down by 20k, so it won’t change anything unless fraud is uncovered.
Correction, when fraud is uncovered 😏
