    How can anybody take the pressure of watching these games? If he Bills don't win the Super Bowl the season will be a failure and one more season for Josh in the books. Bills football has become unwatchable. All I can do is record the game and watch if they win.

    Dude ….I had it wrong…you don’t have to watch…just follow the game with the level headed calm smooth posting here on TBD…😝

    If that's true, it (obviously) seems like more than just discipline for missing a meeting.  It seems more like they're starting to give up on him.

     

    Really sad, really disappointing if that's the case.  I kind of hope it isn't.

     

    Don’t be sad …think of all the great times we had with 0 …and wish him well in the future

    Why are people wanting to continue to punish a player who has already been disciplined for his actions? 
     

    Leaving him behind to “teach him a lesson” is just punitive beyond a reasonable measure. 
     

    “If you want a student to learn math, you teach them math. If you want a student to learn to read, you teach them to read. If you want a student to learn to behave, we punish?”

     

    This is a line of thinking that some of you have adopted. Behavior is LEARNED and therefore must be relearned, taught and supported. Consequence plays a role in this but it is not the sole measure needed to get what we need from Coleman. We must remember, this organization WANTS Coleman to succeed (clearly unlike some of you). Therefore, they should be taking the steps to help him mature not driving a wedge between them. 
     

    In an unrelated example: If an addict who attends meetings relapses, they don’t cut him out of the next meeting. They encourage his participation, pick him up, hold him accountable by building rapport. Relationships matter. 
     

    Ill get off my soap box now but I hope that those who feel they need to continue to twist the knife think about what the positive and negative results from this might be. 

     

    Ummm.  He has been given ample opportunities to “learn” 

     

    Leave him in Buff.  Guy is a cancer

    Obamacare was never meant to succeed.

    It was meant to fail in such a way that the only solution was a government-run universal healthcare system.

    This was pretty clear about that 15 years ago.

     

     

     

    Obamacare Is A Disaster, Just As Expected

    Just over 15 years ago, when the Democrat-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate were debating the healthcare proposals offered by the Democrat president, nearly everyone on the political right was unified in opposition. It may well have been the last time the right was united on anything, but it was indeed unified and resolute.

     

    “The facts,” the Heritage analysts noted, “are in.”

    • The ACA dramatically increased health insurance premiums and cost-sharing in the individual market….
    • The ACA collapsed insurer competition in the nation’s individual markets….
    • The ACA failed to meet official enrollment targets in the individual markets….
    • The ACA is pricing middle-class Americans out of individual market coverage….
    • The ACA expanded government coverage while wrecking the private individual health insurance market….
    • The ACA compromised access to care for persons—including those with preexisting medical conditions—enrolled in the nation’s individual markets….
    • The ACA failed—and failed miserably—to attract young people into the exchange insurance pools….
    • The ACA Medicaid expansion prioritizes able-bodied adults, many of whom are working, over the elderly, the disabled, and poor women and children….
    • The ACA did not, as predicted, “bend the curve” of America’s healthcare spending….
    • The ACA’s vaunted delivery reforms did not yield the anticipated savings.

     

     

    Everything Republicans warned would happen did happen. And the Democrats’ response was to offer a massive “temporary” increase in subsidies to help paper over the failures. Again, every sentient person in the country insisted that doing so would be a disaster, that the subsidies would only increase costs, and that they would not be temporary.

     

    The Democrats didn’t listen, however.

    They didn’t listen in 2009 and 2010 when Congress initially debated and then passed Obamacare—without a single Republican vote in either house.

    They didn’t listen in 2020, when they insisted they needed expanded subsidies to address the financial hardships created by COVID-19.

    They didn’t listen in 2023, when they extended the COVID-era subsidies as part of the inaptly named Inflation Reduction Act, at a cost of $64 billion.

    And they’re still not listening now.

     

    Indeed, they just engineered the longest shutdown in American government history because they have no intention of ever listening or ever admitting that perhaps the right was absolutely spot-on in its predictions about Obamacare.

    Stop complaining about Obama. DT has had 4 years of total control of the govt to to better and had nothing

     

    As well.  GOP has had decades to develop something and nothing

    Normally, I'd just say feed Cook in a game like today, but with him not at 100% and Miami as banged up as they are, there is no reason this shouldn't be a pass first script, build a big lead, and have guys sitting by the 4th quarter.  

     

    If Coleman can't get open today, you may as well call up Davis as soon as possible and put Coleman on the bench.  This should be the kind of day he should at least show some signs of being able to get open and make plays.  If his is blanketed again, we seriously need to find a different option.  I'm no Gabe fan either, but he has proven more in this league than Coleman has to this point.  But hey......he's got a chance to break out.  Let's see what happens.

    Davis is not physically ready per McD

    JD Vance is likely the next nominee, with Rubio as VP. 
     

    He needs this Administration to get its act together on the economy, but JD is a pretty strong successor to the absolutely whirlwind of Trump that’s dominated politics for 12 years. 
     

    In the midterms though.. it really comes down to the economy.  R’s still have a favorable map to retain the Senate and potentially hold the House, but Dems f***ing vote.  No matter who, no matter when, they vote.   And Republicans need to figure out how to mobilize their low propensity scattered base of white working class, married women, MAHA, conservative Latinos etc., to get to the polls when Trump isn’t on the ballot. 
     

    While I think Newsom is incredibly talented as an Patrick Bateman-esque politician.. I don’t know that he can win in GA/NC/PA/MI etc .. and it doesn’t seem like Shapiro can get out of a Dem Primary.. after those two, the candidate quality drops quite a bit. 

    ETTD Bruh.  Ever if JD didn’t have the dt taint on him…people aren’t gonna want another 4 years of dbag style governance

    And yet what do the Dems have? More hand outs and spending? Pretend soak the rich speeches? Subsidies for health insurance under a program called the Affordable Care Act with is nothing close to affordable. Clearly a failure. From a fiscal perspective we're doomed either way.

    Not a democratic so I can’t speak for them. My hope is that the gop gets back to normal …maybe with a new health care structure with profits based on results and efficacy …a path toward fiscal stability…free market economics and no stupid tariffs. Need a strategy for more housing starts …

    For the record, I’m going to continue to vote for whichever side rebukes this..

     

    Ever since Biden purposefully flooded the country with illegal immigrants, and we now see elections decided by foreign born voters & Somali clan beefs, it’s pretty much a defining issue for me. 
     

     

    This is maga in a nutshell…a fake issue to base your vote on….I mean I could see you voting on a real issue that I don’t share your concern about…but a complete lie? Atta oozy

    Not from anyone's social media feed. Not from MSNBC or Fox. From people who actually know what they're talking about.

     

    1. Sean Trende. Writes for Real Clear Politics (somewhat right-leaning overall). No greater wisdom has been spoken about American politics than his guiding principle that coalitions in American politics are constantly shifting and rarely survive  long-term. And here he sees that happening:

     

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/11/06/a_bad_night_for_republicans_with_no_bright_spots_153494.html

     

    Americans don’t do mandates. Donald Trump’s claim to a sweeping mandate was always dubious. He won by a little less than two points and failed to clear 50% of the vote. But I’ve always been fond of political scientist E.E. Schattschneider’s view of things: “The people are a sovereign whose vocabulary is limited to ‘yes’ or ‘no.’” We read all sorts of things into election results because it’s our job.  But “the people” only say “I prefer this candidate” or “I like that one.” They don’t really get to explain why, nor in most elections do they get to rank preferences.

     

    2. G. Elliott Morris is a data journalist, previously with the Economist. He is one of the best at digging into the numbers. And he sees the same thing:

     

    https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-winning-2024-coalition-has

     

    Morris points out that the "new Trump coalition" of working class whites, country club Republicans, and an increasing share of blacks and Hispanics has fallen apart. Again, coalitions are unstable, and this weird "coalition" (if you can even call it that) featured groups that just don't have a lot in common.

     

    It is clear now that claims of a fundamental realignment of American politics have been highly exaggerated. The 2024 election is best seen as an anti-incumbent election stemming from economic anxiety, most but not entirely driven by rising inflation during Joe Biden’s presidency. The elections held this week were a continuation of the anti-incumbent sentiment from last year — this time directed toward the new party in charge. The biggest difference between 2024 and 2025 is that Republicans are running the country now, instead of the Democrats.

    But for the realignment theorists, it’s actually worse than it looks. From 2024 to 2025 Republicans lost the most support — 25 points, on average — among the very voters they theorized would remake the GOP into a vast, multi-racial, working-class coalition. Today’s Chart of The Week looks at subgroup vote choice in 2025. The data suggests Trump’s winning coalition has all but evaporated — if it ever existed at all.

     

    Let’s start with the voters who were supposed to cement the GOP’s new coalition: non‑white, working‑class/lower-income, and young Americans. From 2020 to 2024, these three groups moved an average of 12 points toward Trump at the presidential level (on vote margin), according to Pew.

    In 2025, the same groups snapped back to the left — this time by 25 points on average. In fact, in Virginia’s exit poll (actually “The Voter Poll” by SSRS, but I’m going to call it an “exit poll” colloquially), Republican margins fell across every single subgroup except older voters (this could be due to noise in the exit poll samples). This is exactly what you’d expect from an anti‑incumbent election driven by economic anxiety and frustration at anti-democratic and far-right policy outcomes — and after a supposedly durable ideological realignment immediately falls apart.

     

    3. (From Trende and Morris) Policy emphasis and the beginnings of a new Democratic coalition. The message of Spanberger and Sherrill AND of Mamdani was an economic one. Class politics, not identity politics. "Affordability" is the mantra, and this makes it more difficult to play the "she is for they/them" card for Republicans. Again, shifting coalitions.

     

     

    The advent of Trump being a liability has started …maga has nothing to run on that’s really appealing …earliest lame duck…ever….

    Demographics are destiny. 
     

    If the GOP loses some temporary Latino support due to ICE raids/immigration policy, so be it.   They lose either way. The left has shown that migration is THE existential threat to conservatism. Import a government dependent population and they will vote for you in perpetuity. 
     

    What Latino’s will also vote on is the economy.  So fix the economy and you offset some of the above losses. 

    The shutdown, which Dems are gloating over being the reason for now, also hurt the GOP.. especially in VA. 
     

    In other states, while they’re are trends to examine, the GOP is a low propensity coalition and typically have, and will likely continue to, get rolled in off year elections. 

     

    What does maga do that’s conservative exactly? Is it the Blown up deficit spending or the DT administration inserting itself anywhere and everywhere? Tariffs😝😝😝? Venezuela 😀😀😀? Gerrymandering midterm?👍👍
