    He also has a very punchable face.

    It's a toss-up between him and his brother Bobby.

     

     

     

    I might pay to see them punch each other in the face.

    The former Livingstone Bramble.

     

    I remember the night he took Ray Mancini’s title away in Buffalo.

     

     

     

     

    Great fight!  Bramble just wore out Mancini, who was as active all the way through, as usual.

    My dad and I saw that in person (up in the Blues and you could hear the punches loud and clear).

    Thanks for posting this!  I didn't realize how effective Bramble was when he switched to southpaw.

    I'm genuinely curious:

    As a man-to-man beater who gets big time separation...why do you feel he didn't excel in what surely seemed to be a wide open wide receiver room in LA last season?

     

    Greg Roman offense?

    Not so great pass protecting O-Line (Herbert was sacked 41 times last year)?

    Herbert only threw an average 29 times/game and only completed 19/game?

    They are out of excuses. It’s not coaching. It’s not goaltending. It’s not the age of the roster. This team is just mediocre at best.

     

    Yep.  The talent is woeful. 

     

    Assuming they're not jumbled around to "get someone going":

    The Thompson/Tuck/Peterka line has a low ceiling.  Thompson is trying to play hero ball at this point.

    Their second line has two underwhelming players and a 19 year old who really should be in the AHL.

    It's pretty sad that I am stuck with looking forward to when the 3rd and 4th lines are on the ice.  But it is also incredibly telling that the players playing on those lines came from other organizations.

     

    The power play is indescribably putrid.

     

    Jokiharju flat out sucks.  I've been wishing they'd have moved on from him long ago.

    Clifton is a barely serviceable NHL defenseman.

    Power is soft and seems to get caught watching the play in the defensive zone.

    Byram doesn't seem to like to play defense, and his offense isn't good enough for him to be just a one-way player.

    Sorry I mistook you for a Trump supporter.

    Who will you be voting for in '24?


    The way things look to be going, most likely my wife, again. She got my vote in ‘16 and in ‘20.

    She’s a born-and-raised NYC liberal Democrat, by the way.

    He tried to follow up, but was stopped.

     

    President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.


    The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

    The story comes from his own lawyer.

    You, like all of his cult members are always unaware of reality or lying.

    And it's always incredibly easy to catch you.
     

     

     

    You don't read my posts , do you.

    What's with the name calling?  Very juvenile.

    Trying to commit crimes remains illegal, no matter what you believe and no matter now much your leader claims otherwise.

    Now you folks are squealing like pigs and your god continues to lash out at everyone.

    He spent a lifetime stealing in corporate life. The rules are different when you commit these types of crimes.

    He can't just say F you to this stuff and walk away.

    The Walls Be Closing.

     

    He's not my Leader.

    I'm not a "you folk", whoever that is.

    My God is God.

    Go annoy someone else. You don't comprehend very well.

    Don’t confuse the result with the effort.  Our collective standards for what passes for acceptable behavior for our leaders had fallen off of a cliff since 2016.  Not my standard, mind you.  Bit apparently yours has so declined. 


    Mine have not. I hate it. But I’m not going to go play who started it. It’s been declining before Trump. He accelerated it.

    It was one of the first indications of his desire to violate norms.  He couldn’t incarcerate her.  We know that.  But did he?  And would he have tried?  And is his lack of effort indicative of anything other than incompetence? (How are the wall and repeal and replace going?)

     

    His behavior over the next four years suggests that he would have tried to incarcerate her if laziness/opportunity didn’t intervene.  And, word salad/hyperbole isn’t an excuse for what he encouraged.  There’s a big difference between a campaign slogan (for example, change we can believe in, morning in America, or even make America great again) and a repeated call to incarcerate a political opponent.   

     

     

    So your answer is no.  He didn’t jail anyone during his four years in office without due process.  

    Thanks — and talk about a word salad. Nice post there.

    Hoax.  It was a call to jail a political opponent without due process with which the intended beneficiary (Trump) agreed.  

     

     

    Hoax.  It was a campaign slogan that he did nothing to advance once he got into office.

    He had 4 years to follow up. Do you think he was actually going to throw her in jail without due process? Did locking people up without due process happen to anyone during his term?

    While it's easy to make light of the situation and sarcasm is justified, the damage the Democrats are doing to our system of justice is a national tragedy.

     

    Swift justice is one thing, but predetermined justice is no justice at all.

     

    Due process and thorough consideration are the cornerstones of a fair legal system, and their absence will destroy the public’s trust required for our system of justice to operate.

     

     

     

     

     

    This isn’t predetermined justice. It’s an indictment. In this case they didn’t “investigate the man to find a crime”. They investigated things that happened and claim that those efforts broke the law.  The Defendants will have their opportunity. RICO cases are pretty easy to prove.

    Lock her up!


    That’s not predetermined justice.  That was a campaign slogan.  And (unless my memory is bad) I don’t know any investigation made by Trump’s justice department that went after Clinton for her emails — even though the FBI Director had said that there were likely laws that she broke.

    You’re seeking confirmation bias it’s nothing more than that. If you can’t find some thing from a neutral new station to post on here and continue to post right wing propaganda, no one is going to take you seriously except for other right wing propagandists sit in your echo chamber if you like


    Can you point me to a news station that’s generally accepted as being neutral? 

    Just like people say that Redsatate.com is right wing propaganda, there’s about half the country who’d claim that NYTimes.com is the opposite. It is a real problem.

    Why did the russians choose trump's candidacy to support by disinformation and propaganda?  Mueller concluded this clearly occurred.

     

    Why did the Clinton campaign use Russians and a Brit to use disinformation and propaganda? Durham concluded this clearly occurred.

    Both sides clearly pay dirty games.

    just because it wasn't proven by the investigation doesn't mean it didn't happen.  Mueller shoved the ball back to congress who promptly dropped it .  Mueller also said what I posted above

     

    I said he overcame accusations of being a a Russian stooge.  I didn't say he isn't or wasn't a Russian stooge.  It really does appear that he wasn't a Russian stooge.  My point, however, is that Biden never was forced to overcome accusations that he was taking money on the side while VP, and that's what gets people upset.

    i'll also note that Nixon/Watergate comes closest to what the Republicans are trying to get at with Hunter Biden. Nixon was informed about Watergate by at least June 20, 1972 - 4.5 months before the election. That was the day that resulted in the famous 18 minute gap in his recorded conversation with Haldeman. But of course he and his campaign hushed it up until long after the election was over. So it is a "B" type of election interference. 

    But not even then did anyone say Nixon "stole" the election because of that. It was "Nixon should be kicked out of office because of his role in covering up what happened." People still voted for him in overwhelming numbers. This "but what if they had known [x]" thing just becomes way too attenuated to support the use of the word "steal" or "rigged."

     

    This is why I do think the Hunter investigation is far from over, and that it should continue until some key questions (what did Joe know and when did he know it?) are resolved.

     

     

    I think what gets people upset is that in 2016 there was a push to get the Russiagate investigations into the news whereas in 2020 there was a push to keep the laptop and any investigation of it out of the news.  Trump didn't steal the 2016 election and he overcame accusations of being a Russian stooge.  Biden didn't steal the 2020 election but he probably benefitted from other people suppressing some news that could have hurt his chances.

     

    I agree that the Hunter thing is far from over, and it could easily affect the 2024 election.  I doubt Biden will run because of this, or because of his health.  Or they'll use his health as the excuse while the Hunter thing is the real reason.

    That's called gaslighting 

     

    Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.

     

    Comes from an Ingrid Bergman movie called "Gaslight".
