this is my attitude. i have three pretty big problems with him

1) a pattern of lack of judgement starting as a high school coach and up to DMing this woman. its not any individual thing, its everything in context together showing that lack of judgement repeatedly.

2) using his religion to avoid responsibility or criticism. this whole "you aren't a good person or christian if you don't forgive him" is bunk. he didnt wrong me. he doesn't need my forgiveness. read this text exchange and tell me if this sounds like someone who is an honest forthright person. https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A74383d86-3fb6-4fbf-88cb-99b059c860ab&viewer%21megaVerb=group-discover

i have been wary of people like this my entire life. it would be near impossible for me to trust someone like this. this more so than any moral shortcomings puts me off of him completely.

3) i don't think he is as good a coach as others do. all of this might be worth it for someone proven quantity, but he isn't.

 

these are all my hang ups. no one else here as to share them.

This sums up my thoughts entirely. Adding that people of privilege get this kind of second chance... most do not get this kind of opportunity after what he has done.

It was more of a generic statement, but would it matter if it had or hadn’t?  It has happened, or do you refute that?

It hasn't happened.

I consider myself as a conservative and I believe pushing gender identity on my children without my permission is pushing leftist desires on other people.  Can you see the other side of your statement.

Has this actually happened to your children? (I'm going to go out on a limb and say no).

Besides Bernie Sanders, who is the 2nd non-Republican and non-Democrat?

Angus King from Maine. He’s an Independent that caucuses with the Dems.

That would be great! I am not quiet as optimistic as you , but:

House 235-200 

Senate 51-48-1

Fixed it for you: 51-47-2

PS- very sad that OP has to say how many seats there are in each chamber.

The silence on this thread is deafening.

I'm so sorry! I know you have been going through this for years. No one should get a bill like that to get the care they need.

I haven't watched a whole lot of American press during the coverage of this war. I've been mostly sticking to BBC World News and France 24. They have really been providing a lot more information on the "behind the scenes" conversations between U.S./E.U./NATO nations. I've actually learned a lot more about our own position and next steps we will be taking before the U.S. media reports it.

Sorry for being late to the game on this! Donation made!! Thanks for all you do.

Thanks Coach Ray! The podcast is wonderful, I'm a subscriber and always look forward to the episodes you and Doug put together.  Thanks for sharing your insightful analysis. 

War Eagle!

I was hoping that I was overreacting to the offense and that my eyes were deceiving me. I was waiting (read: hoping) for Stat's report card to show me some positive points on the offense. Guess my initial reaction was right-- looks like the makings of another offensive dumpster fire set by the coaching staff. 

The Fall on Netflix.  It's fantastic.  Bloodline on Netflix is also great.  I haven't finished it, but All or Nothing (follows the Arizona Cardinals) on Amazon Prime is really good as well.  Being from DC, I always say House of Cards too. 

There are so many things wrong with this.

She's 25 (looks 55) and currently recovering from giving birth to her FOURTH child? Would have been seven had she not lost triplets.

She has four kids and just celebrated her first anniversary last month? Never fear. This is her second marriage to the same man over the last three years. Oh wait... that still doesn't cover it.

Holy crap what a messed up wreck. Why does this insane person feel the need to "blog" Good lord. Well, at least while she's "blogging" she's not attempting to reproduce again.

To top it off, the irony is that she is working towards a degree in "family financial planning."
