    So if they don't like Crosby (who?) likes, then they definitely don't like players like the Bosa brothers. Dennis may be self asphyxiating too much.

    I know, I know, it enhances the experience. Get off my back.

    When the Niners drafted Bosa there was SJW concern how he would be received in Baghdad by the Bay. Turns out winning at least Defensive Rookie of the Year if not POY eased some of the pain

    If Kaep could win a Super Bowl in Seattle I'd be at the airport to welcome him
    Very few actually give a fuck about that stuff. Most that do are people that live online, work or are involved in academia, or are part of Hollywood. DDY and Sub K fit the first two descriptions. Most don’t have any interest in it or very fleeting interest.

    If you’re very vocal pro or anti Trump, you’re an idiot. Who gives a shit? The actual difference any president makes in 99% of people’s lives is very minimal at best. It’s even dumber coming from people in the Seattle area, where mostly everyone is mild.
    This is just factually incorrect, especially after decades of Congress ceding all of its power to the executive branch.
    No. Quit buying into it. Everyone that was broke with shitty jobs in the Obama era are broke with shitty jobs now. If that changed, it had nothing to do with the president. On a day to day basis, none of the shit we hear about on the news actually matters. Did your life change one bit from us bombing Iran? No, it didn’t.

    There was racism before Trump, there will be racism after. Obama did bad things and was in bed with some enemies, Trump is as well. As will the next president.

    It all gets magnified more based on the outrage of the times on social media.

    Most of America goes to their jobs, punches in, punches out, and goes home. They fill their spare time with a couple of hobbies. That will never change.
    Sorry, but lazy and/or fucking stupid take.

    "Most of America goes to their jobs, punches in, punches out, and goes home. They fill their spare time with a couple of hobbies. That will never change." This plays great on a bumper sticker, but is shallow as a puddle. For starters, it violates the laws of thermodynamics unless magic is discovered and/or mankind can spread into space. Quickly.

    In the here and now, though, most of America humans also get sick at some time in their life. All Americans fortunate enough to have decent insurance through their work have watched their paychecks shrink due to skyrocketing healthcare costs. A large percentage of America got fucked over in a financial crisis in 2008, and that probably mattered to them. Most of America is a few degrees of separation or less from somebody in the military who might have to leave their family and go overseas for a considerable amount of time due to one person's decision. My in-laws' cherry orchards were affected big time both by immigration policies and trade wars, to the point where they lost money this season. Steel tariffs impacted thousands of businesses that employ Americans. You or someone you love might need an abortion some day, and you'll suddenly think a president's Supreme Court appointees are really fucking important. Maybe legal marijuana makes sense to you, and legalizing at a federal level is the end game there, so worth paying attention to. Free and open internet is important to a lot of people. Whole industries can be legislated or taxed out of existence for environmental reasons, which affects a lot of people, good or bad. Some people fly a lot and remember with fondness when we could walk through an airport without waiting in line for an hour and getting felt up or nude scanned.

    Increasingly, these are real impacts to real people that are being driven in large part or exclusively by the executive branch. They're details, but a lot of details add up and matter. Choosing to ignore it all, get on with your life, accept what may come, and not worry yourself is a fine strategy--maybe even admirable--but it doesn't make the people who care and protest wrong for doing so.
    Mods?

    Respect the business

    I follow Jeff Becthold. He works at the UW AD as a media guy. He twats and retwats anti-Trump shit often. His bio also says “proud atheist”.

    I give a fuck about either of those things but if these idiots want to attack someone over their personal political or religious views, then go after everyone's and get rid of all that shit in the AD, not just the ones they disagree with.

    Just checked and this guy blocked me. That makes him, Mario Cristobal, Gino Mariani, and LMC as the only people to have me blocked. Interesting.

    LMC blocked you?

    Amazing.

    My list is BTP, LMC, BTP's alt (today in the last hour or so!), and Jared Stanger. Might be forgetting someone but I think that's it.
    How could I forget Sa'Vell Smalls' mom and step father?
