Question - why didn’t the FBI and DOJ do anything about Hillary when they had four years of Trump reign?
Let's see.................I'll take one shot at this..
Because Trump isn't a conniving politician that understood how to use the power of the State to crush his enemies while the entire media establishment covers for him.

Imagine spending your day watching the events unfold in Canada - not Iran, Canada - and you think "how can I show conservatives are hypocrites for supporting these people? I tried racist but that didn't work. Oh yea! I remember that Antifa thread from 4 years ago. They scolded the BLM for blocking traffic!"

The exodus from deep blue Covidstans isn't just about masks.
The red pilled have figured out that there is no coexistence with these people. They aren't American. They are not heirs to Western Civilization. They're it's enemy.
Decades of teaching and blaming America for all the world's problems - who knew this would end with a generation of secular woke fascist lunatics that actually hate this racist place

Reminder....
If you aren't as hell bent on getting to the bottom of this as you are getting to the bottom of Trumps taxes you're really just a garbage human being.....the worst kind of hack.
And this is 100000000000000000 times worse
Clinton campaign paid to 'infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia: Durham
'Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP's DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.'

Levi’s president quit and walked away from $1 million in severance so she could ‘be free’ to speak out against school closures
https://fortune.com/2022/02/14/levis-president-quit-school-closures/
Yesterday I Was Levi’s Brand President. I Quit So I Could Be Free.
When I traveled to Moscow in 1986, I brought 10 pairs of Levi’s 501s in my bag. I was a 17-year-old gymnast, the reigning national champion, and I was going to the Soviet Union to compete in the Goodwill Games, a rogue Olympics-level competition orchestrated by CNN founder Ted Turner while the Soviet Union and the United States were boycotting each other.
The jeans were for bartering lycra: the Russians’ leotards represented tautness, prestige, discipline. But they clamored for my denim and all that it represented: American ruggedness, freedom, individualism.
if you had told me back then that I’d one day become the president of the brand, I would’ve never believed you. If you told me that after achieving all that, after spending almost my entire career at one company, that I would resign from it, I’d think you were really crazy.
Today, I’m doing just that. Why? Because, after all these years, the company I love has lost sight of the values that made people everywhere—including those gymnasts in the former Soviet Union—want to wear Levi’s.
I eventually became the global brand president in 2020—the first woman to hold this post. (And somehow low-rise is back.)
Over my two decades at Levi’s, I got married. I had two kids. I got divorced. I had two more kids. I got married again. The company has been the most consistent thing in my life. And, until recently, I have always felt encouraged to bring my full self to work—including my political advocacy.
That advocacy has always focused on kids.
Things changed when Covid hit.
Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down. This didn’t seem at all controversial to me. I felt—and still do—that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk, and the burden would fall heaviest on disadvantaged kids in public schools, who need the safety and routine of school the most.
I was condemned for speaking out. This time, I was called a racist—a strange accusation given that I have two black sons—a eugenicist, and a QAnon conspiracy theorist.
...in October 2020, when it was clear public schools were not going to open that fall, I proposed to the company leadership that we weigh in on the topic of school closures in our city, San Francisco. We often take a stand on political issues that impact our employees; we’ve spoken out on gay rights, voting rights, gun safety, and more.
The response this time was different. “We don’t weigh in on hyper-local issues like this,” I was told. “There’s also a lot of potential negatives if we speak up strongly, starting with the numerous execs who have kids in private schools in the city.”
...The comments from Levi’s employees picked up—about me being anti-science; about me being anti-fat (I’d retweeted a study showing a correlation between obesity and poor health outcomes); about me being anti-trans (I’d tweeted that we shouldn’t ditch Mother’s Day for Birthing People’s Day because it left out adoptive and step moms); and about me being racist, because San Francisco’s public school system was filled with black and brown kids, and, apparently, I didn’t care if they died. They also castigated me for my husband’s Covid views—as if I, as his wife, were responsible for the things he said on social media....
.....the Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the company asked that I do an “apology tour.” I was told that the main complaint against me was that “I was not a friend of the Black community at Levi’s.” I was told to say that “I am an imperfect ally.” (I refused.)
At one meeting of the executive leadership team, the CEO made an off-hand remark that I was “acting like Donald Trump.” I felt embarrassed, and turned my camera off to collect myself.
In the last month, the CEO told me that it was “untenable” for me to stay. I was offered a $1 million severance package, but I knew I’d have to sign a nondisclosure agreement about why I’d been pushed out.
The money would be very nice. But I just can’t do it. Sorry, Levi’s.

Wow
I'd say I'm shocked but........
I'm not.
I've known what these people have become or were becoming for the last decade plus.

Agreed with Buffalo. I also think the NFL would be mindful of Kroenke's complaints of 49'ers fans taking over the stadium, so I doubt it's SF. And it's been over 10 years since there was a conference championship game rematch for the opener.
Over on the 506 forums, the Bills are the overwhelming favorites. Some have also said if Rodgers goes to Denver, they could also be in play (as you stated too).

Here are the nine choices for the Rams' opener, btw:
Seattle
SF
Arizona
Dallas
Carolina
Atlanta
Denver
Las Vegas
Buffalo
Won't be Dallas bc they just opened the season.
Arizona and Seattle might have new QBs.
SF is the better choice of the 3 bc it's a championship rematch.
Trey Lance opens the season at the Rams.
Bills at Chiefs will be the SNF opener bc it's the opener America deserves.

They have to go after difference makers like the Rams did. You can’t just stand pat. Take a risk. This franchise did it in the late 80s with the trade for Cornelius Bennet. They also added James Lofton, who, although older and not as much of a difference maker, still was a significant impact over the Chris Burketts and Trumaine Johnson-types.

From 2018 to 2020, we did this.
Morse
Brown
Beasley
Star
Butler
Williams
Klein
Diggs
Sanders
Then we ran it back in 21 but chose to overcompensate D line at the draft. And ignored everything else - because you see some of those names above are taking up cap space. Not upgrading the D line proved a mistake or adding one more CB. But did we try to get Watt? Or Hendrickson? Von Miller in trade?
This window (there are windows but when they close you need to figure out how to open a new one) has 1 year left before another reset as more cap room opens, Josh's contract kicks in fully, and the draft classes of 20-22 better emerge and we build around another core. Going to be a lot of turnover everywhere by 2023.

Everything remotely entertaining tonight once again hearkened back to a little 80s 90s nostalgia.
Sopranos
Jurassic World bringing back the Goldblum
Austin Powers
Verizon Cable Guy
Barbie Doll House - I saw He-Man and Skeletor
Dolly Parton
Halftime show was underwhelming but if you liked it and many did - 90s
Everything else shocker - not funny, sucked.
Oh and how could I forget...
Defense still wins championships

This is my takeaway on the 2021 Bills.
I think the team was overrated talent wise especially up front on both sides of the ball.
And Josh going in to the season was still very UNDERRATED. I can't say enough what he does and means to this team. He's one of the 5 best players in the league put them in any dam order you want but I'm taking him first when starting my team.
Now, in 4 games this year we were lit up - Titans, Colts, Bucs, Chiefs playoffs. I know we think beating Cincy at home was a given and I agree.....but was it really a given? All things happen for a reason I do believe that and maybe after winning like that vs the Chiefs only to lose at home to Cincy now that would have crushed us probably worse then we have been feeling. Instead we get to walk away feeling like we were the best.
Which is good......but it concerns me we will avoid again an honest evaluation of the talent level on D. We're a Milano injury away going into 2022 from being a bottom 10 defense vs good offenses.
And our "needs" keep piling up. What are they? In order:
1. Rousseau Basham Oliver Harry AJ have to make leaps. Oliver has but this group wasn't good enough - too young and the vets weren't good enough. If we think this core can't get it done, you need to do something.
2. We need to find one more WR we can rely on to add to the only 2 guys I see us having back. Diggs and Davis
3. A CB 1b to fill in for White
4. Shore up interior OL
5. A RB to compliment or start over Motor
6. Edmonds. Extend him or trade him for draft capital or a move up in the draft for that top CB. Sign a stop gap, draft an MLB. They need to figure that out now.
7. Another TE to compliment Knox
8. A good backup to Josh - no idea here
That's your 2022 off season. Move heaven and earth to get it done - especially #2 and #3

Some egregious coaching decisions that cost you championships don't always happen with 13 seconds left. Many often go unnoticed
Joe Mixon needed to be THE man tonight. You weren't throwing it on the Rams like this was the 5th string Ravens secondary Burrow throw for 1000 yards against - I'm sure 900 of it was YAC.
Only 15 carries for Mixon. And somehow 5 catches for 1 yard.
