Is Melania in court today? 😂😂😂

Apparently it's popular in Irsreal. Interesting since he's a teetotaler, but business is business.

Well, this assumes the moral and ethical character of a witness is even important in this case. Appears to me moral and ethical character of witnesses is not important.

He invited her to attend the launch of Trump Vodka. How was I unaware that there was a Trump Vodka? I need to get out more or go to trashier places when I do.

Finding has not a clue of what it is talking about? No way! But students are not the only, and perhaps not even the most important, faction active in the campus protests. As in the “mostly peaceful” Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020, “outside agitators”—professional radicals and organizers, black bloc antifa thugs, Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries, and Palestinian and Islamist radicals—have played a central role in organizing and escalating the campus protests, just as they have organized and escalated the wider anti-Israel protest campaign that began almost immediately after Oct. 7. This largely decentralized network of agitators is, in turn, politically and financially supported by a vast web of progressive nonprofits, NGOs, foundations, and dark-money groups ultimately backed by big-money donors aligned with the Democratic Party. These resemblances are no accident. All of these tactics require a degree of instruction and training. Footage from Columbia showed the professional “protest consultant” Lisa Fithian, a veteran of Occupy, BLM, Standing Rock, and Stop Cop City, teaching students at Columbia how to barricade themselves into Hamilton Hall. Recent video from inside the protest encampment at UCLA, meanwhile, showed masked men leading a hand-to-hand combat training. When police cleared out encampments at the University of Texas-Austin and Columbia and the City University of New York last week, roughly half of those arrested—45 of the 79 in Texas, 134 of the 282 in New York—had no connection with the university at which they were arrested. Some, like the 40-year-old anarchist heir James Carlson, arrested at Columbia’s Hamilton Hall, had protest related rap sheets going back two decades.

Poor @Alphadawg7 he’s gonna be looking all day for these posts. I’ll help you out man. They don’t exist. You’re arguing with the voices in your head.

As others have mentioned, I believe that two players that come to mind that never made it to the playoffs during their Bills tenure here -- and would make a huge impact on the current team -- are Aaron Schobel and Lee Evans.

This was a quality writeup, @Logic. Rational, and concise. This could have been featured in The Athletic, and I would have read it with equal interest. Here are some thoughts/responses of my own. 1. Keon Coleman - This draft was heralded for its depth at WR, but after the top three of Harrison/Nabers/Odunze (whom we did not have a chance of getting), I think you had a variety of talent that would perhaps go in the first round of a more typical draft class. On TBD, everyone seemed to have their favorite, be it Thomas, Mitchell, McConkey, Leggette, etc. And from the reports, it would seem they chose Josh Allen's favorite. I'm good with that. 2. Cole Bishop - 3. Dewayne Carter - Whenever I hear a pundit say things like, "a day-one starter," or "one of the most NFL ready..." I cringe. But a nice thing that happened in this draft, I think, is that between an enormous run on QBs from QB-needy teams, and the huge class of WRs, a lot of other skill positions got pushed down the board, especially on defense, where the Bills were most needy. In that regard, I think the Bills lucked out with these two picks. 4. Ray Davis - It's hard to ever get too excited about drafting a running back (Cook notwithstanding), but the more I look at this pick, the more I like it. He looks to be durable, and a culture fit. At 215lbs, and only 5'8", he'll play the role of short-yardage power-back, but still has reliable hands as a check-down option. It'll be nice to have such a player that isn't in his mid-30s for a change... 5. Sedrick Van Pran - Of all the offseason turnover, the one that makes me shake my head the most is the loss of Mitch Morse. For what the Jags paid him in cap money, we totally could have afforded him. Morse was good, and with his departure, I'm left hoping they have a good plan for the line. Van Pran certainly adds to that hope. 5. Edufuan Ulofoshio - With this pick, and also the recent addition of Deion Jones, I'm really left wondering what they know, or suspect about Milano's prognosis? 5. Javon Soloman - We've had other defensive players who were initially deemed "undersized," who have excelled in our defense-- Milano, and Bernard, being obvious examples. With his character, personality, and athleticism, this seems like the absolute, quintessential Beane/McDermott pick (in the best way). 6. Tylan Grable - When a lot of GMs gets to the sixth round of the draft, they're looking more at overall player value than actual positions of need. That's how we ended up with Jake Fromm. This was a wasted pick, IMO. 6. Daequan Hardy - This looks like one of those late round picks that Beane somehow seems to nail. He does seem to be better at assessing late-round talent than early-round talent. We do play a base nickel defense, and this guy could excel at NCB. With the departure of Siran Neal (who was too old for the position anyway), we were left with Cam Lewis as Taron Johnson's backup. That makes me queasy. 7. Travis Clayton - I attended the Bills at Chargers game in week 16, last season, and I lost track of the number of times I heard over the PA, "...number 76 reporting as an eligible receiver..." and then watched whomever Josh handed the ball to get stuffed at the LOS. It was infuriating, but the Bills seem addicted to that Jumbo package on short yardage situations. Clayton will almost certainly be put on the PS, but it is my great hope that he ends up on the 53 as that sixth Jumbo package OL. And who cares it that 6'7", 300+lb, fast, athletic-freak-rugby-monster can actually play OT??? I want to see him catch a pass from Allen, and flatten the first defender that dares tackle him. Travis Clayton could be to football what Happy Gilmore was to golf.

My hot take is that while professionals have far more information and knowledge than fans, and while having more information is better in a vacuum, it can also lead to poor decision making if a GM over indexes on information that doesn't matter. What analytics does is it reduces the player down to a handful of data points that are known to be somewhat predictive of NFL success. Analytics doesn't model the player holistically, so it misses some context behind the numbers and also who the player is as a person. But if say a player is an excellent human being and wows the staff in person, they might let that information cloud any statistical red flags that us dumb fans wouldn't ignore. That's basically what I'm worried about with Coleman - though of course that's what we were worried about with Josh Allen and it turned out that the Bills staff nailed their assessment of him. That said, I do obviously trust Brandon Beane, and I would never claim that my uninformed opinion is better. But GMs get it wrong all the time and a lot of the time it's the surface level stuff that fans see that makes it obvious in hindsight

This was one of those times you shouldn't announce your signings. Bring the guys in undercover, and let them compete like a undrafted free agent. If they show up cool. If they don't they can slunk out the door unnoticed. Announcing these signings is like announcing you just got your hair cut. Everyone can see you did, but no one really cares.

File under: Some Things I Learned Today. No condom. But that's ok I guess because no sex with Melania either. Separate beds or bedrooms. So Trump nailed a "Horse Face." Seems likely to play out well in the media!

For the makeup of the current roster…Lee Evans and Mario Williams. Although I might actually consider to go all defense as I think it has more question marks and make it Mario and Kyle Williams (or Ted Washington) Lots of good options though at CB, defensive front 7, RB and WR though. Could go a lot of ways with this.

Completely hilarious that Trump’s getting absolutely humiliated in a Manhattan courtroom. By a porn star.

I gather no one here has seen the movie?

Fitzy and it’s not close…

We sit back and see how their plan works. There is talent at WR and TE. Maybe not the talent you wanted but they chose this. It’s not about hoping it works. They made a hard decision and they believe it’s the right decision. We will see.

Apparently the defense didn't object for a long time to the "scene setting" testimony Stormy was going into. So the judge at first intervened (I've had this happen to me) by telling the DA "I'm not interested in that." Then we got some objections. The worst that can happen (realistically) is that the judge admonishes the jury not to consider certain things other than that Trump did have sex with her. Unlikely to be considered reversible error on appeal if he is convicted.

Again the left totally believes stories by shady people with a history of lying.

Zweifellos ist es das Reich auf ganzer Linie und ich wage es jedem, etwas anderes zu sagen..... Ich befehle dir.

Well, there you go. Trump revealed as even more of a creep than we thought, so let's rehash every silly story about a Democrat.

Crime is at record lows according to the Dems, media and their puppets.
