    Sure, bloody Putin would never murder people wholesale. God bless those Republicans saving Putin the grief of having Ukraine able to defend itself. Let freedom rain down on all of those Trump likes, and no one else 

    If you accept the premise of all these reports you can only conclude the Russian military is incapable of hitting any targets except apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, shopping districts, and other civilian assets while completely missing all military targets of any value.  Which begs the question why the war isn't over?

    IDK about that

     

    I think Stroud will likely be more successful than Allen long term.

     

     

    It's going to be interesting for CJ.  He missed a couple games so his durability needs to be watched.  And everyone's assuming no sophomore jinx and 1 year of film for defensive coordinators to work with won't lead to figuring out his tendencies and possible weakneses.  But the set up for success looks to be in place

    I don't think he could handle Josh being such a mega star. It's fine for Steph when he's the center of attention. If he's not he starts to behave in ways to get the attention back on him. 

    Everything seems to point to a major distraction being removed.  Addition by subtraction.

    You can't have a ball hog ragging on your QB during a game. I can see Allen forcing the ball Diggs way just to shut him up while the other receivers go through the motions on plays because they know the cry baby is going to get passified.

    Playing hockey we had a puck hog that never passed the puck and the coaches ignored the problem.  Other players open for a shot or in better position to make a play began to understand the situation and just stopped skating.  Why waste your energy.  When he got moved down the bench our team became competitive.

    We'll see what happens with the Bills but I'm seeing this as a positive and I bet Josh has a sound full night of sleep tonight knowing the stress and strain of dealing with a diva of over.

    You sound like the sort of Sabres fan who actually thought trading Eichel and Reinhart was a good idea, or that they were somehow part of any problem with the team.

     

     A pox on your family for a thousand generations!
     

     

    Off topic but sadly, there are lots of former Sabres that plain sucked here, got traded, released, or signed with another team that are playing good hockey elsewhere.  Guys actually playing hard instead of floating and coasting like they did here

    I think the combination of Samuel and Shakir and Kincaid can handle that spot.  That’s what happened during the Bills winning streak to finish the year.  The need remains size and speed on the other side.  

    Agree.  The Bills went 6-1 to finish the regular season without getting much production from Diggs. 

    So when I'm watching and listening to the experts issue dire warnings that after the trade the Bills have no clear #1 WR I"ll argue they didn't have one the last 1/2 of the regular season either.

    Either with or without Diggs they need a legit WR1.

  7. On ESPN NFL Live they're addressing the question why if Diggs developed a reputation for sideline disagreements in Buffalo would the Texans take a flyer on Diggs?  And the answer was because strong leadership from HC Ryan's and QB CJ Stroud can keep Diggs in line.

     

    My take is why should anyone, coaches, management, other players have to devote valuable time and energy to keeping somebody in line?  They'll professionals. Not children.  But sadly some can't always maintain that level of behavior.

    Is the potential to upgrade their offense at the cost of creating potential distractions on and off the field? The results will say.

    I know money talks but how does the organization justify using one of Allen’s remaining prime years on a rebuild? Imagine going to work everyday knowing that you will not succeed for at least the next year. He’s counting the bucks but that would be hard for someone that competitive 

    I'm less worried about the Bills offense replacing/upgrading the WR position post-Diggs than I am about what the defense looks like in 2024 and what moves remain to be made on that side of the ball the rest of this off season.

    Who cares? Former cabinet endorsements?  Nobody can even name 2 or 3 of these people without looking it up.  They're political nobody's.

     

    Maybe Trump's former elementary school teachers haven't endorsed him either.  Oh my, big worry!

    The Bills will carry a dead money charge of $31.096 million next season after trading Diggs, according to Roster Management System. That will be the highest-known dead money charge ever for a wide receiver in any season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

     

    I hope you are right. 

    I understood the 31 million dead cap went against the 2024 season and there is zero Diggs dead cap money in 2025.

    Excited to see a revived Josh not having to walk on eggshells 

    If Diggs was a distraction will removing it allow Josh to take complete command of the huddle?

    Which is something that made me wonder about Houston with Diggs.  How will his perceived antics play with a 2nd year QB?  Are they taking on some risk?

    HUH, WHAT HAPPENED FOUR YEARS AGO? 

     

    Here’s how much Americans say they need to retire — and it’s 53% higher than four years ago.

     

    Americans have lofty goals for their retirement, with the typical worker believing they need $1.46 million to retire comfortably — a jump of 53% from their savings target in 2020, according to a new survey from Northwestern Mutual.

     

    But most people are far from reaching that objective, with the study finding that the average amount held in a retirement account today is just $88,400. That means that the typical worker has a $1.37 million gap between their actual savings and their retirement aspirations.

     

    Due to the impact of inflation and other financial pressures, Americans today believe they need to sock away more for their golden years compared with 2020, when the typical worker pegged a comfy retirement as requiring $951,000 in savings, Aditi Javeri Gokhale, chief strategy officer at Northwestern Mutual, told CBS MoneyWatch.

     

    There are other contributing factors, but four years ago was when Washington set the money printing presses to Ludicrous Speed and they haven’t slowed down since.

     

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/retirement-savings-how-much-americans-need-1-46-million/

     

    .

    The White House is proclaiming April 15th, previously known as Tax Filing Deadline Day, as the "I don't have enough savings to retire because Joe Biden's inflation screwed me peoples day of visibility".

    It is urgent but nobody in Washington on either side of the isle is going to do anything about it because its political suicide to cut off all the goodies and pork the Federal government hands out funding big social programs and income transfer schemes, funneling money to big NGO's motivated by political and social issues, and perks to large corporations and major donors to political parties.  All done through massive amounts of debt.  Interest on the national debt is about to become the single biggest item in the fiscal budget.  They'll be a lot of talk but no major action.

     

    What can be done about this?  Nothing other than protecting yourself from the coming financial Armageddon.  I've moved a much of my meager investment funds out of the over-valued  and hyped up tech and S&P 500 stocks into resource stocks like oil producers and gold miners.  When the economy tanks, the Fed lowers rates, then runs massive QE programs to support more and bigger Federal debt offerings in an attempt to keep the party going which leads to higher inflation and a devaluation of the dollar as confidence is lost in the US dollar.  Everybody's standard of living falls.  Let's say gold 5000, oil 200.

    I hope you had a happy Easter, Muppy, and I’m glad you were able to spend it with your new granddaughter!

     

    The black velvet maxi turned out to be a little too risque for the speaker event LOLOL! In an auditorium with about 60-70 other chicas, my outfit was easily showing the most skin. I was so self-conscious about it that I ended up wearing my outdoor jacket for the entirety of the indoor event. But the auditorium was refrigerator-level cold, so it was no big deal. Live and learn!

     

    On the bright side, I missed that Sabres game because of this speaker event…ugh…Lindy Ruff for coach??

     

    Okay okay, time to return this thread to the proper subject at hand. I can sense the PPP denizens getting restless…see ya around, Muppy, both here and at BillsFans.com!

     

     

    Yes, indeed! It is quite odd, in the year 2024, to be having a debate on the scientific merit of anthropogenic climate change. And yet here we are…

     

    So my brief review of “Climate: The Movie,” in outline form:

     

    1. A barrage of scientific truths that were presented in non-sequitur form: climate is always changing, Earth’s atmosphere has had much higher levels of carbon dioxide during its history, Earth has had much warmer epochs throughout its history, Earth has experienced much greater climate temperature variations in its past, plants have a Brawndo-like craving for carbon dioxide, blah blah blah.

     

    2. Examples of garbled scientific logic and cherry-picked data: the part on the temperature vs. carbon dioxide relationship was completely incoherent and included chicken/egg causality sleights of hand. The part on extreme weather events was consistently (and deliberately) unclear on the details of factors like geographical locations of inquiry, timeframes, number of events, and severity of events.

     

    3. Examples of scientific lies by omission: the infamous urban heat island effect was presented, but the film neglected to mention that this well-known effect has already been quantified and universally accounted for in the climate data. The cosmic ray theory was cute, too: as solar magnetic field activity increases, more cosmic rays are deflected as they approach Earth, cloud formation (due to the ionizing effect from the cosmic rays in the atmosphere) decreases, less incoming solar energy is then reflected due to the decrease in cloud coverage, and so the planet surface warms. What the film conveniently didn’t mention is that none of the aforementioned (besides the warming planet) have been measured to have occurred at any appreciable extent over the past several decades! Moreover, this theory is undermined by observations of both comparatively greater nighttime warming as well as stratosphere cooling (FYI: this stratosphere cooling is essentially the smoking gun of anthropogenic warming causality…as opposed to a natural solar warming causal explanation…but of course that still won’t stop the right-wing skeptics…).

     

    4. Social commentary on climate change: oh em gee…so much movie time was spent covering all possible groups of people who may stand to benefit from the climate change emergency. Ironically enough, there was no mention of the people who are funding the people funding this right-wing propaganda film.

     

    5. Polemical libertarianism: fearmongering of Marxists, communists, socialists, big government, any critics of laissez-faire capitalism, etc…the movie clearly has a predetermined economics conclusion and works backward to make the scientific narrative fit. This Ayn Rand-inspired economics conclusion is that curmudgeonly misanthropes who hate the social contract and hate paying taxes don’t want to be held accountable for their negative externalities.

    A problem with determining the temperature of the Earth is that at any point in time the actual temperature varies from point to point.  It can be -50 at the poles and 100 degrees at the equator at the exact same time. So what's the temperature of the Earth?

    The temperature needs to be derived through employment of a method or process.  And unless you understand the method or process used, validate it, and use it consistently you can't conclude with any confidence the results are accurate or a true representation of what is actually happening.

    Kind loving and welcoming libs in Denver upon hearing more illegals will be coming in 

     

     

     

    Issues like the border invasion have certainly evolved and not exactly in the direction the people advocating for and encouraging the import of more people might have thought it would go.  But ask yourself, didn't you see this coming?  Of course you did. 

     

    Our political and social debates are no longer framed by arguments of Left vs. Right, Democrat vs. Republican, Liberal vs. Conservative.

     

    What we now have is a war between the sane and rational against the insane and irrational.  Yet, even the insane and irrational are still capable of seeing what a total disaster the idea they supported has become.  Commentary on this chaos has become an echo chamber of opinion among those who thought it was a terrible idea from the start and almost everyone advocating and supporting the idea has disappeared from view.  its can't be anymore obvious what a Clusterscrewup this thing was from day one.  Yet this administration won't relent.  How insane are they?   

     

    More to the point how insane is anyone contemplating casting a vote for the President overseeing this disaster that will surely continue this madness for another 4 years.  I don't care how bad anyone thinks Trump 2.0 would be.  How could it be worse than Biden?  At a minimum the nuts and psychos would be sent back to the funny farm.

    It is weird that Clinton got slapped by the FEC while they let Trump do the same thing with no consequences.
     

    But the FEC is a hopelessly broken organization. 

     

    Maybe he could have gotten away with paying out of the campaign funds and didn’t need to expose himself to NYS liability.

    What troubles me still is these prosecutors and officials have designed and created a customized and unique interpretation of the law to enforce it against the one-time circumstances of one specific individual and its likely no other person on Earth could be prosecuted using the same interpretation.  Like they reverse engineered the legal system to go after that one guy.  I think that's what it means to "weaponize" the law or what some call waging "lawfare".

     

    More troubling is the before mentioned Clinton campaign payment to Steele for the Russia dossier.  That had to be far and away the biggest and most effective election interference effort in the history of US elections and all the people howling and screaming about threats to election integrity ignore the worst offense ever.  It goes unpunished, and is celebrated by certain people, years later.  They got away with political "murder" because the entire legal system turned their backs and looked the other way and  no custom engineered legal interpretation was required.

    That's a valid criticism and the reason why this is generally considered the weakest case against Trump. 

     

    The nuance here is that Trump is being charged for misappropriating company funds, which is a misdemeanor, but the DA is arguing that he did so in an effort to violate campaign finance law, which escalates the original charge to a felony. It is my understanding that he is not being charged for the campaign violation itself (I don't believe Bragg could even bring that charge if he wanted to). 

     

    As I mentioned before, people who are more used to federal criminal practice are generally quite skeptical of this case. Which is why I thought the explainer from Just Security was helpful because it illustrated that this has actually been successfully prosecuted against politicians in Manhattan before.

     

    Had Trump paid the money out of the campaign funds and mislabeled it to hide the origin, he'd probably face the same slap on the wrist that Clinton did. By intermingling with the Trump Org's funds, he exposed himself to liability under NYS law.

    I can't argue with your assessment of the nuances as I claim no expert status on the subject but said another way it might boil down to there's a right way to cheat which Clinton used and a wrong way to cheat which Trump used. Even though both are guilty of the same end result of attempting to hide the true nature of payments.
