Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

Last thought for tonight is also around “my guys” and focused on Dave Toub’s TERRIBLE special teams this year. Enough of the Cochrane, Josh Williams, Edwards, etc. Group has not gotten it done this year and needs to be heavily turned over.
Veach has got to take some of “my guys” away from Spags and Andy the same way he did in 2021.
Remember Hitchens, Niemann, Sorenson, and Fenton weighing that defense down?
Is that all that different from Nnadi, Conner, Edwards, Omenihu, and Danna right now?

Kansas City needs new blood, fresh ideas, new wrinkles.
Some of the decisions they’ve made to continue to bring back “their guys” who “know what we’re doing” have cost them MAJORLY this year.
Nnadi. Clyde. Danna extension. Bolton extension. Gray extension. Caliendo.
