I’d like to once again congratulate the WOS community for the success they’ve had since running off their hall of fame coach.

Don’t act like any of y’all are used to air conditioning. I’m just having fun, little brother. It ought to be a good game. I expect the bobcats had this one circled on the calendar… we need to be ashamed if we lose.

Don’t forget “atmosphere.”

Back in 2012 the Dillon Panthers merged with the East Dillon Lions to create a “super team.”

Truer words have never been spoken. Y’all gonna be sorry you ever agreed to play us again.

BC should win this one.

Ummmm… I’m not scouring the internet for tweets that “prove” election fraud or looking at 500 polls in search of a single one that says what I want it to say, then reposting it and tagging everybody with a “what say YOU?!!!”

Word salad… when your plan is to keep repeating “I have a plan,” then praise the plan… then push your merch.

These guy are getting rich creating tweets and having morons like/retweet. All you have to do is make them up to favor Trump and the simple minds will do the heavy lifting for you.

Cards called off the dogs… 50-0 Final.

Bc 47-0 after three.

Bc turned the ball over twice (fumble, pick) and turned over on downs once… still up by four tds. Kville has not threatened. Wildcats are down bad this year. Jury is still out on BC.

14-0 BC With 608 left in the 2nd quarter. I was hoping to hear Rouser at least once.

Edit…. Sorry-this was in my drafts and I posted it too early.

Trump’s disastrous debate performance tonight? Or we just going to claim he won because he had the nastiest insults?

I’d like to take this time to reiterate what I said at least two years ago. If trump announces he’s running again in ‘24, the Dems win. Period. Vote for four years of anger, hate, rage, and deficit spending… vote Trump.

How bad is the Republican Party for nominating, then re-nominating someone who can't beat her?

I just think it’s laughable that people try to claim that there’s something wrong with her morals as a reason to vote for their guy… who is an absolute turd of a human.

Bill once said that Hillary got more 🐱 than he did.

[Hidden Content] I guess it's not much of a secret on my part, though.

You’re on the right track, just headed the wrong way. Your namesake ran in 1980… was sworn in during January of 1981. His tax cuts has nothing to do with growth in revenues in 1980. there was a 20% growth in tax revenues in 1980… and 1980 was not a good year for the economy. Rampant inflation, higher interest rates, etc… but those challenges yielded an almost 20% increase in revenues (517b to 593b) in that single year… and there was nary a tax cut that year. If you look closer, the growth in revenues actually slowed, then revenues DECREASED in 1983 after tax cuts in 1981. Tax cuts without even more substantial spending cuts are poisonous. But I’m glad to see you’re thinking.

52% isn’t “nearly doubled.” And even when adjusted for inflation, the growth numbers in revenue are impressive. BUT when you compare the modest growth in revenues to the explosion (nearly tripling) of debt in the same timeframe proves that tax cuts are not the be-all, end-all economic policy that people believe they are. Personally I love lower taxes… who believes that the government deserves large chunks of our income. The problem is that we demand a myriad of government services and programs that come at a hefty price. And it’s been going on for so long that we’ve got serious belt-tightening to do… this isn’t the time to take out another payday loan in the form of tax cuts just so we can have a nice weekend when we’re facing bankruptcy.

For reference… the total tax revenues for 1981 (Reagan’s first year) were 599.3b. In 1988 they were 909.2b. That’s an increase of 52% over eight years… which is a very impressive increase in revenues, but not “doubled” as you stated. [Hidden Content] BUT the increase in revenues was largely caused by INFLATION, which was at 10% + for the first three years of Reagan’s presidency. By contrast, the national debt at the end of ‘81 was $998b…. But the national debt was 2.857 TRILLION by the end of 1988. That’s a 287% increase in the national debt. [Hidden Content] That, my friend, is a set of facts, not opinions, that are accurate and undisputed. So if revenues were up by 51% and the debt jumped by 287%, it’s safe to say that “trickle down economics” didn’t work worth a darn, in my opinion.

Tax revenues did NOT double. That is patently untrue. Can tou point me to a source? What window of time are you looking at?

Oh, sorry... I won't vote Harris, and I'm fairly certain I won't vote Trump, either. Honestly, though... I never thought I'd see a time where the Democrat plan would add less to the debt than the Republican plan. From Fox Business. [Hidden Content] CNBC wasn't as nice to Trump. [Hidden Content] And I'd say "oh, it's just the media lying again," but deficits and the debt EXPLODED under Trump last time.... even pre-pandemic. You can hate the messenger, but it won't change the facts. Trump's plans are terrible for our future.
