The fact that anyone would still be attacking Flynn and defending the FBI after this document release proves that this country is horribly broken and quite possibly permanently divided.
What in the world was the FBI doing? This is not their job? Nor is it appropriate it any way! Who would defend such actions and tactics? God help us all. Nobody wants to live in the sort of country that the Left is now defending. Not even the Left! They’re just so unaware that they may get that Police State they’re always dreaming above, before they realize it’s too late to save themselves from it!
To the bolded, I'm afraid we are. The FBI actors here could come out and admit under oath what happened and the left/media would still defend what they did as being right. We are irreparably broken down the partisan divide.

I really dont care if fans want to turn a Bills tailgate into the set of Jackass (huge fan of those films btw). More power to them and Darwinism. Where I tailgate, and I suspect this is true of most lots, there is zero tolerance for it so I don't have to see it or hear about it except for two scenarios:
1. When introduced to someone and I tell them I'm a Bills fan and they ask about it. Typically the question is asked with a head shake or in a "what a bunch of idiots" tone of voice. Its a broad brush that I'm not into being painted with. I most definitely get an overwhelming negative response from people that I talk to.
2.) When I click on a video posted here and I see it. Like the one that started this thread that prompted my honest initial post. Yes its good thing that the kid is excited about being a Bill, but I'm pretty confident that everyone at OBD who has a say as to whether he makes the team would give that video a deep furrowed brow if they saw it. I'm not saying it will matter one way or the other if the kid is a beast, it's just not a good look to promote something that you know your bosses are most likely not behind at all. Yes, even for Josh Allen.
Beyond the general stupidity of it, it just smacks of the whole viral look at me I'm a follower culture. Again, if fans want to play Johnny Knoxville at Bills tailgates have at it, but at least do something original. Is it really funny or interesting anymore with the table slamming? Being the umpteenth guy to knock himself woozy at a Bills tailgate by being launched through a table is simply old and tired, even if once upon a time it was new and funny. How about one of you young and innovative whippersnappers come up with a new stunt to become the next viral look at me sensation? Like having your buddy launch a Josh Allen spiral at your junk from 10 yards. You'll get on barstool and it would be funny....for awhile.

Im not sure if you guys understand but we are known country wide as much for our team as we are for our wild tailgate shenanigans. Barstool sports has influence....When they post, millions of people see it... and those people who watch it say "Damn, Buffalo has some wild, Crazy *ss rabid fans" and now "Bills Mafia" has more recognition than we have ever had.
Trey Adams doesn't have influence...He has 4,000 followers. He is just saying look how crazy my new fans are. And I think the Players love knowing that they have those crazy fans in their corner
Terry Pegula isn't a fan because he doesn't want the liability.
That said Jumping off of a school bus through a table is too crazy for me and I would never do it.
Oh I get it now, it's all about the influence, eyeballs and badass Bills fan notoriety that comes from it. I was merely judging it on it's face for the stupidity that it is, but now that I know that there's a reason behind all the stupidity...I hate it even more. ?

Josh Allen threw a guy through a table like 2 months ago.
Also:
I know. Not a good look either. It's all stupid. My opinion.
Had to look up the OK Boomer reference. Cute, but I'm not that old.

God forbid kids are actually interested in the Bills.
College players don't care about Chuck Knox or Jim Kelly, surprisingly.
I'm sure he's very interested in the Bills, and there are a lot of ways to show it. Unfortunately this clip shows that he's also interested in inebriated, idiotic Bills fans injuring themselves. Not a good look.

VP Mike Pence to Journalist: "I appreciate the question but it represents a misunderstanding on your part."
I said exactly this from day one. There was no friggin way that the logistics were in place to run that many tests early on. Impossible.

I'll say upfront that I dont know, just like everyone else, if Fromm will be an adequate NFL backup or not.
To me this thread has shown just how badly Nathan Peterman scarred the psyches of some Bills fans way more than it shows some irrational love for Jake Fromm.

Well then, he needs to watch what he says. Which is the point I've been trying to make.
He absolutely does, I'm not going to defend the lack of scientific acumen on display from our President. But at the same time might a better follow up question from the reporter been to simply ask him what he meant when he said disinfectant? If then Trump himself actually used the word "bleach" then I'd think wed be onto something with this shitstorm today.

The president referred to injecting disinfectants. When he said disinfectants, what exactly do you think he was referring to? Or because he did not specifically name a specific disinfectant it is somehow wrong to question the guy presenting the study about it? You do realize that two very common disinfectants are bleach and Lysol? And while we're at it, exactly how would one get UV light inside the body?
These are things he said. Like it or not. And the press is supposed to not ask questions about it? Why can't you just admit that what was said by the president yesterday was dumb?
I think he likely meant antivirals and used the wrong word. Not uncommon for a layperson.

I sit on an FDA panel, although it is a devices panel and not drug related. As one who sits on an FDA panel, and as one who has conducted research and been a part of clinical trials for almost 40 years, I hope I can shed some light here. I would say based on the information I have seen thus far is that none of the studies that have been touted in the lay press are proof, either in a positive or negative sense, for this drug. All of these studies are compromised by have low numbers , none of them from what I have seen match control and experimental populations,. it is not clear if dosages used are the same or not between groups. For example, in the study showing no benefit I do not know if the same severity of patients were looked at in each arm , nor do I know if there were other significant differences between groups.
This is precisely why large and formal studies need to be done before making any conclusions. In the interim, doctors are always free to prescribe medicines off-label. In this case of this med, they can do so but they should make it clear there is no real data to say the drug will help, and they are obligated to explain there are significant side effects including the risk of cardiac complications as well as the potential for stroke in some groups.
Again, science matters. Science works.
As a fellow scientist I agree with all this. It is truly disheartening to see real science twisted and completely misunderstood in the name of partisan rancor from both sides. Ugly times.

There are chemotherapies that use toxic drugs that are encapsulated inside liposomes which are conjugated/tethered to an antibody that will target the drug payload to specific tissues. They inject this into people. Did Trump have this in mind when he made his comment? Very unlikely, but it's not unheard of to inject toxic compounds into human beings in this way and something similar to this strategy could very well be under consideration by real, actual scientists.

In terms of the extreme parenting and being left handed I'm more reminded of Todd Marinovich.

Do we realize that neither side has actually conducted enough clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of this 1 way or another?
But it is funny that the idiots screaming about Trump promoting something unproven are also promoting something unproven.
Amen. As a scientist who has developed testing for other diseases on the very same platforms currently being used for covid19 diagnostics and serology this whole situation is disgusting. I always knew that Americans in general were woefully inept in understanding how actual science works, but when you toss in all the partisan rancor on top of the scientific ignorance it creates the ***** show we are currently witnessing. From BOTH sides.

I would not call on any of the "gotchya" people. There are a number of people in the press room that ask fairly reasonable questions, in a non-confrontational, non-gotchya manner. I'd call on those people continually (looping through the 3 of them) until the others in the room figure out that arguing with the President of the United States, yelling over the President of the United States while he answering a question, and that the "When did you stop beating your wife?" questions need to end, is the way to get your hand picked for questions.
Now, does that mean the press should not be tough? Of course not. They definitely should ask the tough questions. But, they can be respectful to the office (if not the man), and ask questions that Americans would like answers to.
Yep. Big difference between asking tough, probing question to get at THE story as opposed to asking ridiculous gotcha questions in an attempt to frame a narrative around A story.

Nice piece by Jason Isbell about his friend John Prine.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/09/opinion/john-prine-jason-isbell.html
This week, John Prine danced off this stage and onto the next one, and I like to think he’s somewhere sharing a song and a cocktail with all the friends he outlived.

They were either morons or extremely comfortable that there's no way in hell any of this would ever see the light of day. There's no defending any of this, yet many will try.
