Those last two series by the Eagles offense (1-2-3-punt, less than a minute off the clock, and then sack-incomplete-stripped of the ball-another incomplete losing 15 yards) were about as bad as I can imagine an offense playing. Does NOT get easier next week in England.

It is that. And one more reason that this fool will never be president. (SNL players broke out the smirks when fake "J.D. Vance" mentioned becoming president in 2028. All of America should join them.)

Penn State dropped out of the AP Top 25. Phillies were one-and-done in the playoffs. Eagles lost their 2nd game today, showing major cracks. If the Republicans somehow manage to win in November and keep Congress, I don't know if I can take it. I'm begging you all - get out and VOTE Democratic.

How does the NFL fill a stadium in London to watch American football? I'm guessing the tickets are free, first of all... Or is it CGI?

"Medical isolation." I immediately pictured Republicans OUTRAGED at our loss of FREEDOM, as govt health agencies try to get a handle on the plague. No face masks. No isolation. And none of those fetus-containing mRNA vaccines! Getting the plague only makes us stronger.

Trump didn't like the numbers coming out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so he fired the woman tasked with compiling them. I look at the numbers from July, August, September, and the constant revisions of previous months, and wonder why investors would trust this administration's numbers.

Exactly. Early on in term 2, I remember someone (Robert Reich?) saying that if Trump had simply done NOTHING, the American economy would be in a much better place. The 77,000,000 who voted for him (AGAIN!) wouldn't be feeling the remorse.

Trump has no idea how AI works, so the people behind AI must have "superior intellect." The funny part is that he thinks he's super-bright himself for having come up with "super intelligence." From now on, everyone has to refer to him as the Orange Turd, or OT, in any applicable setting. So say I.

Again I have to ask. If Pumpkin Spice is so great, then why don't we have pumpkin spice this and that all year long? Like George Carlin said, if "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should," so how come there's no tobacco flavored ice cream?

No more Monday Night games for the Eagles, please. Their nonexistent pass coverage just made a 61 year old 3rd-stringer who hasn't played in a football game since 1987 look like a sure Hall of Famer. Next up: LA Rams, who also have to figure out a few things.

The Republican claim after the 2017 tax cuts was that the average American had $4000 more. Because the top 1% kept so much that they pulled the average up significantly.

In other words, "...not everyone in his own party are calling illegal." This is why "Trump is not on the ballot" is a lie. Virtually every Republican in House and Senate voted the way Trump wanted them to, with very few exceptions. Only as we approach elections are some finding a spine-like image.

I go with #2. He's always been like this, only now he has the backing of the Supreme Court and a Republican majority in Congress that protects him from all accountability. And if Dems win in November... shrug. He still believes he is above the law. When he's lucid, anyway.

The good news (for Phillies fans) is that the Phillies are up 7-1 halfway through the 6th inning. The bad news is that Zach Wheeler has thrown 96 pitches and is likely done for the day.

It's important to sharpen the blade WITH the grain. Also, make sure to clean all of the nasty bits off the blade before they can set in as stains. You want a good looking guillotine blade for those special occasions. Blade sharpeners were among the first tinkers. Originally designed to cut cheese.
