Im amused by certain people today. They say they are going to stop buying Tesla, because Elon is a fascist. They want a Volkswagen EV now. They might want to study the history of VW and educate themselves.😒
I haven’t even heard much about the VW cars but yep, the political Tesla hate is comical. They are the most American-made car and are very high quality. Other major brands are paying royalties to adopt their charge plugs because they’re the best by far.

Lions lost a lot of guys and the Skins got healthy at the right time. Daniels played like a 5 year veteran and his legs were a HUGE difference in the game. The lack of a mobile QB is why I'm not optimistic that we're returning to the top of the B1G any time soon.
Escapability from the rush, speed and being able to improvise are not Dylan's strengths. But he could get better at that. A biggest key will be to get rid of the ball more quickly. Tom Brady couldn't run a lick and yet he was able to navigate a pass rush exceptionally well. Dylan is so dedicated. He'll work on that footwork. And Dana's gonna scheme guys open. And I don't think you really have to have a fast scrambler back there. Hell, how many slow QBs have had big rushing dates against us over the last 10 years? There's been a few.

People on both sides of the political spectrum hate the South African. And I don't want to make things political on here-- there's plenty of dumbassery and selfish greed to go around. But you make a good point. Quite a few companies with bad histories. Is there even one automaker without skeleton's in their closet? I remember wanting a Passat Diesel years ago... until it turned out that VW falsified the research and had some elaborate cover up.

I love Elon. History will show how he saved Twitter, saved free speech, buried the fake lame stream media, saved the election and saved our country. I will laugh my *** off when him and or Kevin O'leary buys Tik Tok. I can watch heads explode again. That's what you can do with **** you money.😂👈

First sentence is ‘generally’ very incorrect..

I owned a 2006 Jetta diesel over a decade ago and it was great. Around 45mpg, 5 speed manual. One of my clients got very smart and started buying up salvage title VWs from auctions that were affected by that whole thing. VW was buying them back above value. He tripled 100k in a year. Literally hired homeless guys to go in and sell VWs back to the dealership due to volume and they were catching on. He said a lot of other people caught on and started doing the same. A wild ordeal.

General Motors had a manufacturing division in Germany as well. Were they traitors or pursuing capitalist opportunities? Ford opposed our entry in to WW1. Were they Nazi sympathizers or isolationists? You can find accounts to support either side of the argument you want to take. I'm not sure what value that carries over 80 years later in the discussion of NFL football.
Let’s not forget the time that IBM basically organized the genocide for the Nazis

Heard Germany's economy actually shrunk last year. Maybe even two years in a row. Tough times. Our U.S. economy is so much stronger than everyone else it's not even funny.
On paper it is if you actually believe all the government numbers. I have a suspicion that the revised numbers will make us not look so great.

I know you would love this. If this doesn't get your blood pumping and your dick hard you're a straight up communist. LFG!! 😍 America is back!!

Agreed completely. Especially the part about the mobile QB. I love Dylan but it's almost like a self imposed penalty to not have a QB who can do some things with his legs. Dylan won't ever be a difference maker with his legs but we need at least to be able to covert on those 3rd and 3s when guys are covered up.

screw getting him slimmed down. Put another 10 lbs on him and tell him to pretend he's Big Ben. He's already a big kid. Use it.

We all know that what people believed or did 80 years ago dictates what their grandchildren and great grandchildren believe....

Greenland and Canada baby!! We coming!!😒
Panama maybe if they don't get their crap together. Greenland and Canada nah. Canada and Trudeau were getting pimped. We already have a military base in Greenland. Maybe we buy the land it sits on if we don't own it already.

This is all about global warming and climate change. Low water levels limiting the number of ships that can pass through the canal. Polar Ice melt opening up more rare earth deposits in Greenland. The U.S. wants greater access to both. There's no interest in buying any land unless there's something valuable below it.

A huge part of the value of both Panama and that Greenland military base are strategic military location.

Ford family supported the Nazis in WW2. Screw that whole lot of cursed traitors

And yet our country fought side by side in WW II with a communist regime that killed millions of Christians. How you feel about that?
