As has been pointed out, THIS is the nightmare Super Bowl scenario for Raider fans, who hate no two teams more than the 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. By the way, am I the only one who blinks twice when I see “Las Vegas Raiders” at the crawl on ESPN? Why do they feel the need to keep the team name when it moves to a new location? Change it. “Utah Jazz”? Yeah, because when I hear “Utah” the first thing that comes to mind is Dave Brubeck. Call them the Las Vegas Hangovers.
I’m not going to be watching because I seriously have better things to do. Plus I loathe the 49ers. The team that created this entire mess that has been the NFL for the last five years by not taking that asshat Krapperdick aside when he first pulled that bench sitting stunt and telling him he was viewing the Anthem from the locker room in future.
The other reason I won’t be watching is that I have no doubt that the “woke” commentators will spend the pregame and game commenting constantly on how much impact on today’s game Krapperdick would be having if he were still with the 49ers. Never mind that they would’t have had a winning season, let alone a shot at the title. Never mind that Krapperdick walked away from his contract and into active player oblivion. IF the 49ers lose, rest assured Twitter will be alive with the Sound of Musing – that they would have won with Krapperdick; the same quarterback that lost the last one.
So enjoy the game if you’re watching. But do not fall in the trap of the drinking game where you take a shot every time someone says how much impact Krapperedick would have had on the game. Because you’ll be in the ER with alcohol poisoning before you can watch Sean Hannity’s interview with the President…..

How do you think the people in Iowa feel when they pretty much anoint Bernie and the next thing they know, Bloomberg has bought them out lock, stock, and ammo?
Because I think there’s a good chance that happens. They’re looking at the field thinking, ‘the only thing that beats Trump is another Trump’.
Bloomberg.
@ eaglesoars:
Bloomberg isn’t Trump. The Democrats don’t seem to realize that Trump is not seen as “another rich guy” – he has an everyman quality and love of country going for him. Bloomberg is a hypocritical elitist that is going to alienate everyone. “I know what ‘s best for you.” Democrats still don’t understand WHY Trump won in 2016. And they never will.

Either way we are putting her under a 3 week isolation to make sure that she is not caring Corona. Our bolt-hole is all provisioned up and ready for an Apocalypse if it comes to that.

In that case it’s back to tinned provisions.

>b>John Kerry overheard discussing possible 2020 bid amid concern of ‘Sanders taking down the Democratic Party’
DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Secretary of State John Kerry — one of Joe Biden’s highest-profile endorsers — was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid “the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole.”
Sitting in the lobby restaurant of the Renaissance Savery hotel, Kerry was overheard by an NBC News analyst saying “maybe I’m f—ing deluding myself here” and explaining that in order to run, he’d have to step down from the board of Bank of America and give up his ability to make paid speeches. Kerry said donors like venture capitalist Doug Hickey would have to “raise a couple of million,” adding that such donors “now have the reality of Bernie.”

The Barbarian wrote:
And he buys his way into political positions anyone and everyone else has to earn.
Just as Caesar used the wealth of Gaul to finance his takeover of the Republic, Bloomberg can use his private fortune to bribe, cajole and otherwise promote his ascendancy. In his 12 years as ruler of New York, he showed his willingness to “buy” elective office, spending half a billion dollars on his three runs. To match the $174 per vote he spent to win his final term, Bloomberg—who’s has already spent $200 million on TV ads—would need to spend an unheard of $12 billion. He could afford it.
None of this seems beyond a man who demonstrated his l’état c’est moi attitude in 2009, when, after reluctantly giving up a run in the 2008 presidential election, he changed city law and overrode the will of the voters to allow himself to run for a third term after personally meeting with the owners of the city’s three major papers to get their editorial boards to reverse themselves and endorse that undemocratic move.

J Lo is downright gorgeous, great body, and she showed it off. And sorry, NFL football is a very rough game where grown men sacrifice their bodies to a gladiator cult, so you might want to re-think your ‘family time’ values.

Also on this day the Church of Scientology made their official announcement that L. Ron Hubbard had died. In doing so they put forth a nonsense story that their founder had dropped his body and no mention was made of the fact that he’d suffered a stroke a week before.* The true believers were then shocked to discover that no one outside the cult gave a damn about that useless malingering REMF** piece of excrement. (Yes, I know I’m insulting excrement.) They’re particularly upset everyone was more concerned about the deaths of seven Wogs*** than with the passing of the most important being on the planet.****

Since I first started listening to him sometime just before GW I, I’ve wondered to myself many times if, God forbid, something were to happen to him, could he be replaced ? After all these years I have to say ‘No’, there is no one else like him. No one else on the air thinks like him. His unique perspective on the day to day news is amazing considering he only has ‘over night’ to think about ‘the issues’.
I’ve known conservatives who think he was the worst thing that happened to the party which has always amazed me. The hell with the party, hes helped countless young people how to think, undone the damage our public schools have done to them for decades now. I always get called out on that one: “SEE, you just said he brainwashes people with his bs !!” to which I respond ‘He doesn’t tell people WHAT to think, he teaches HOW to think (how to question, not just accept what they hear and see put out by the MSM).
I sincerely think that the USA would be a different place had his show never existed.
I still remember the day he first got my attention. I was clicking around on the cars AM radio and I hear this guy saying something like “We will kick the Iraqis butt in a week, it will be all over in a week”. CBS, NBC & ABC are all talking about the ‘Republican Guard’ and how our military isn’t up to the task, our tanks will bog down in the desert etc. He was so confident that it actually started to relax me. Then after seeing the ASS KICKIN’ our troops gave them, tanks included, I was hooked and I stopped watching network news and pretty much ignored all of the msm.
Rush limbaugh and the interwebs, oh, and a former game show host… someone ‘above’ is blessing this country, I’m convinced !!
I’m shocked though that he was at an advanced stage before it was dx’d.
So much for the idea that being ‘rich and famous’ gives you a ‘one up’.
I know that I’m going to be praying for him for whatever good it will do.
God help you Rush Limbaugh.
@ 4_Sticks:
I was never a talk radio person until somebody told me I HAD to listen to Chris Plante. Hooked. His time slot is 9-12, so I slid right into Rush.
I like him because sometimes he has an angle on something I’d not thought of myself. And he’s a truly nice man.
As For his illness, I hear the word ‘advanced’ and I think ‘mestastisized’. His only symptom was shortness of breath and that started around Jan 12.
Iron Fist was the same way. His only symptom was fatigue, he couldn’t finish his morning workout. Just a few weeks.
So I’m hopeful for a long break before we lose him. But I have no illusions about ‘another Rush’. There will not be, can not be, another Breitbart. Same for Rush. By definition they are sui generis.
The timing just sucks. I’d feel less bad if we were in safe harbor. Assuming there is such a place.
