Sort of Guardians adjacent, word on the street is he’s gonna skipper the Reds.

I’m pretty happy about it, but the way it’s going down seems fishy. The Reds re-upped David Bell to manage through 2026, and they fired him a week before the end of this season.

I get the impression the Reds’ brass sent out feelers and this has been in the works for a while.

As the board's resident Reds fan, I approve of this move.

That city will turn into a real cesspool.  

As someone who lives near the Dayton-Springfield area, that's like saying pouring a bottle of water into the ocean will make it wetter. Dayton already is a shit hole.

So somebody is filming the guy on the roof trying to kill trump but nobody says anything? He just stands there and films?

I believe the rifleman in black in that video was the Secret Service sniper, not the attempted assassin.

The real interesting bit is there are reports from eyewitnesses that saw and pointed out the would-be assassin to law enforcement before he shot at Trump.

Take these eyewitness accounts with a grain of salt for sure, but if they are true, why did the Secret Service wait until the gunman shot before they shot him? Or, at the very least, why did they not escort Trump off stage?

This one is definitely going to fuel the conspiracy theorists out there. Looks like a Secret Service sniper had eyes on the suspected shooter, but the shooter got off two or three shots before Secret Service returned fire.

Almost sounds like he got shot at with a .22.

Can't wait to see the conspiracy theories on how Trump and his team staged this.

Can You Buy a Gun if You Have an Ohio Medical Marijuana Card?

When you buy a gun from a Federally licensed dealer, you must fill out what’s called a Firearms Transaction Record.

Question 21e asks the following: " Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside."

Lying on this form can result in hefty penalties and even jail time, so we don't advise that you do so.

However, purchasing a firearm from a private seller and/or at gun shows does not require a background check or for the purchaser to fill out this form.

Can You Get or Renew Your CCW if You Have a Marijuana Card in Ohio?

Concealed Carry permits in Ohio are granted through the Sheriff's department in the county in which you reside. The form required asks if you are an unlawful user of a controlled substance, but does not include the clarification that even medical marijuana is considered federally unlawful.

Again, this was based on a statute that was just recently ruled unconstitutional. Unless and until the Supreme Court decides otherwise, it's legal to own a gun and while in possession of marijuana.

Is Brissett really that much better than Walker? 

Briskett might not have won us the game in Seattle, but I don't think he would've lost it for us, either. PJ made horrible throwing decisions all throughout the game.

@neo said:

I actually agree with you to a point. But when you're talking about moderation, that's just it. Americans don't know what moderation is. Every person I knew who did the same things I did was either a full blown alcoholic or a pothead, or both. I considered myself a social drinker and smoker but even then there were times where I just went away too far.

Yeah but its weak compared to what I normally access... I've been tokin' since the 70's

It just sounds like your tolerance is extremely high.

One thing to consider if you have a medical MJ card in ohio (or smoke weed )The short answer is no. Despite Ohio's medical marijuana program and the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution's right to bear arms, having a medical card for marijuana makes it illegal to own, purchase, or possess a firearm or ammunition under federal law.

You can actually get sent to prison if you do.  Just an FYI.

I believe you're referring to 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(3). This just recently got overturned by the 5th Circuit Court:

Reason: 5th Circuit Says Prosecuting a Cannabis Consumer for Possessing Guns Violated the Second Amendment

This pro-2nd Amendment lawyer does a good breakdown of the case and its implications: 

The 5th Circuit Court ruled that prohibiting individuals who use cannabis from owning or possessing firearms violated the 2nd Amendment and is unconstitutional. And if the government appeals this case to the US Supreme Court, it is likely that the Court will uphold the ruling of it being unconstitutional.

the palestinians/arabic haters did. They refused to have a state, they demanded the Jews not have one, they refused to have their state next to Jews, so they screwed themselves over.

The modern state of Israel came into existence via a UN mandate. A mandate in which land was taken away from people who were already living there and had been living there for generations to be divided up into a brand new state for the Jewish diaspora.

It would be akin to the UN creating a mandate to take the northeastern part of Ohio to create a nation state for the illegal immigrants coming up from Mexico and telling the existing people living there that their land was not theirs anymore and telling them to leave.

Old Testament superseded by the New Testament.

That's religious moral relativism.

Slavery in America was superseded by the 13th amendment, but that doesn't magically make the atrocities suffered by people under slavery disappear as well.

@jax said:

Little warped there I think, you have one violent group attacking a defending state that has all rights to it's land.

One question: who determined that either the Israelis or Palestinians have those rights to the land?

@calfoxwc said:

...Show me where the Israelis burned babies alive in their cribs, beheaded babies, raped and murdered men, women and children, shooting children down in front of their parents, committing surprise unlimited mass murder worse in history except for the Holocaust.

Read pretty much the entire Old Testament, if we're conflating Israeli's with Jews.

They are getting blasted by the team we walked over last week. 

I live in Cincinnati.

Can confirm Bengals fans are losing their minds.

I think it's about this time of the season most Browns fans become alcoholics. You get that glimmer of hope then the cold harsh reality sets in.

@falcon7 said:

Worst 1st time Browns QB in 20+ years... ?

Manziel and Kizer come to mind as being worse. 

DTR will be fine eventually, I think. He needs the Jordan Love treatment and just sit and learn until Watson's contract is up. He was put into a shit situation today.

Also, it doesn't help him any with Stefanski absolutely refusing to relinquish his play calling duties on offense.

Stefanski needs to call the offense like I need cancer in my nutsack.

@tiamat63 said:

Preseason made a lot of you guys think that DTR wasn't still a VERY raw rookie.  And there were some of you calling for him to start.  

.... something something, what you wish for. 

Anyone who thought DTR would be better than Watson out of the gate eats paint chips and fucks their sisters.

Let's go team Funt, I guess.

...I own two Browns jerseys, both Nick Chubbs. I was thinking about him today and I've been following this team since the end of the Rutigliano years, and I think Nick Chubb might be the most universally liked and respected Browns player I've ever seen, maybe even more than Bernie or Joe Thomas, or at least at their level. 

You're lucky that you got to experience the original Browns team. I signed on after they came back and the number of players from this era that I'd even consider buying a jersey of is slim:

- Joe Thomas

- Nick Chubb

- Myles Garrett

- Josh Cribbs

- Phil Dawson
