Remember, it never ends. When they run out of “things” they come after “people”. Never give a fucking inch

Well.... since the NFL wants to change things... I think it's about time, we honor some of the most fearless, tough, scary people out there. I vote for, "The Washington Karens." Humor me people.... I need some laughter today. I'll start, "Karen's threw the challenge flag."  Run refs run!!! |

Remember, it never ends. When they run out of “things” they come after “people”. Never give a fucking inch Regardless of which team anyone roots for - whether it be the Vikings, the Packers, the Yankees, the Twins, the Golden Gophers, the Cardinals, etc - someone, somewhere will find some sort of fault with the team's mascot and it seems it's only a matter of time before mascots are pretty much banned in the name of political correctness.... I always seem to use the 90's Stallone film " The Demolition Man" in my comparisons, but when you strip away the Stallone one-liners and over-the-top 80's/90's cartoonish action that we all loved back then, the world of that film's setting - the peaceful utopia of San Andreas - is pretty much where the US is heading....and just like in the film where San Andreas is controlled by just a "few" and society in general has become incapable of handling adversity (in the form of psychopath Wesley Snipes), the US is seemingly becoming less of a country controlled by "we the people" capable of overcoming adversity and becoming more like San Andreas - controlled by a select group of "elites" for the betterment of all, while handing out participation trophies for all and promoting less free-will and individual problem-solving (ie, people incapable of handing adversity by themselves) while having the "elites" provide solutions for them... I read an article today from a Christian website on the final episode to the " Game of Thrones" TV series ( link) and I liked the point the author made and it bears repeating here. Much like Dany tried and ultimately failed to create a perfect utopia of peace against the corrupted Westeros families who sought power on the Iron Throne (basically becoming what she was ultimately fighting against), it wasn't some power bloodline in the end that will rule the land....it was the " ragtag group of bastards and broken things" in form of a non-perfect individuals who overcome obstacles in their life to meet the current challenge. They aren't "chosen" by divine right....or have the great family name of Westeros heroic family lineage...or have mythical powers (save for Bran, mind you)....for the most part, they are the everyday, "blue-collar" working-man sort who individually won't get it done, but together working towards a common goal of bringing peace and prosperity to the now "six" kingdoms of Westeros they leave viewers with the hope of a far better future than the one we were introduced to and endured through the eight seasons of the show.... Dr. Cocteau can't run a utopian San Andreas in " Demolition Man" on his own for very long....singular monarchs and/or Dany with dragons by her side couldn't bring peace and prosperity to Westeros in " Game of Thrones" for very long....history has shown us that monarchies only last for so long before they crumble...." The Last Dance" Bulls documentary showed us all that Jordan couldn't win NBA titled on his own without each member of Jackson's triangle offense doing their thing along with Jordan.... ....and because of those examples, the idea that a group of "elites" in Washington or cancel culture "Karens" telling everyone else what to do and how to live for their own betterment is simply set up for complete collapse and failure, IMO... |

She mentions wearing an NYPD hat so I'm assuming it's either a Bronx or Staten Island accent....definitely not Manhattan, Boston, Jersey or Long Island... |
