@#14 ... Trumpers hiding from this thread ...

Yeah, the absence of the apparent Jeff alias seems to be most pronounced this evening. Good to see that I may not be the only one who noticed that absence.

Does it coincide with Pres Trump's lack of public appearances since last Tuesday?

Wish I knew.

It might be interesting to see the explanation for their possible eventual return?

@#15 ... Yeah, the absence of the apparent Jeff alias ...

Those various aliases seem to be starting to show up ...

@#8 ... "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the NFL will not be "able to sleep at night" over its decision to pick Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny as the 2026 halftime performer.

"Well, they suck, and we'll win, and God will bless us, and we'll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day, and they won't be able to sleep at night because they don't know what they believe, and they're so weak, we'll fix it," Noem told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Friday." ...

The NFL is in it for the money.

Bad Bunny is a very popular artist.

Which is likely why the NFL chose him.

What does the Trump administration have against Capitalism?

But, so long as we seem to be on the topic of sports, let's move to passion.

Yeah, sports fans have a passion for the teams they like.

But passions taken more widely ...

Positive passions: hope, aspiration, a vision of a better life for all

Negative passions: anger, hatred, resentment, the urge to dominate

It seems to be easier to motivate people with negative passions, than it is with positive passions.

As Pres Trump seems to have discovered.
