TPS

I think they are also looking at Bates as the swing OT.

Bates at LT means he’s getting a good look as the swing OT.

Fourth and final piece from Webb and MintPress, this one on Clinton connections. https://www.mintpressnews.com/genesis-jeffrey-epstein-bill-clinton-relationship/261455/

Certainly Bills' fans have every right to think Peterman has no business being in the NFL. However, many people thought and still think he has talent to be here. As I said, time will tell...

Have you been paying attention to business data and global growth, or just consumption and retail sales? There is a reason the R word has crept into the business press. Any objective person would look at all of the signals, and this sector has pointed down since the start of the year. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/manufacturing-production

Draft profiles and analysis (including Gruden's), and observations of his play and interviews while a Bill. Time will tell how NP's career plays out, but I believe, and I hope, that things work out for him.

I remember your post because I responded to it, and I think it explains the divergence of opinion here. While consumption and retail numbers look good, manufacturing does not. The reason the R word has been bandied about in the business press is because manufacturing may well indeed be in a recession (formally defined as 2 consecutive quarters of declining growth) because of Trump's trade war. However, consumption spending is currently robust enough to keep overall GDP positive. It is the business of the business media to talk about these things, and they usually don't have an agenda. That said, it is also quite possible that the MSM is trumpeting up the recent recession talk in the business press for political purposes. Certainly MSNBC would do this. However, the recent uptick in recession talk IS a consequence of real weakness in the economy, so it's an extreme view to take to blame the media if the manufacturing recession spreads to a more general one. Besides, don't more people watch Fox than any other MSM media?

Peterman may not have a rocket arm, but he's smart and accurate. I believe that, As he gains experience (it is only his 3rd year coming up), he will learn to avoid mistakes on the types of throws that are dangerous for him, and will do some good things in this league.

Yes, always enjoyed him on the Bills show on Adelphi’s?

Cool. Let me know who wins this argument, though I’m not sure who you’re arguing with now...

I guess the answer is no. [And your interpretation is wrong, as usual. When I say Trump's numbers are not much better than Obama's, that's calling out the current roosters....]

I see. At the moment, Trump has not had a year of growth exceeding Obama's best year. I will bet you a nice bottle of Cabernet that he won't exceed 3% in any of his 4 years.... As I said, it's a religion...he is the "chosen one" afterall.....

2017 = 2.4% 2018 = 2.9% So when can we expect growth above 3%?

The context is "True Trump Believers" think his policies have been extraordinary, but the truth (the data) is there is no statistical difference in most trends, and his one good year of GDP growth was stimulated in the good ol' Keynesian deficit spending (?) way....

Yes, and others have felt the same....

Religion can be a dangerous thing....

https://www.wsj.com/articles/cardinal-george-pell-loses-appeal-of-sexual-abuse-conviction-11566348234?mod=hp_lista_pos4 By Robb M. Stewart Aug. 20, 2019 8:43 pm ET MELBOURNE, Australia—Cardinal George Pell, the most senior Catholic cleric ever to be jailed for child sexual abuse, has lost his appeal of his conviction. A panel of Australian judges ruled 2-1 on Wednesday to uphold the cardinal’s conviction for assaulting two young choir boys inside the cathedral that was the center of his diocese in the late 1990s.

Oh, I recognize tax cuts and spending increases have different impacts--all corps will be affected by a change in the tax rate, but not all will be affected by spending increases. My point, all along, has been that deficits in general stimulate private sector wealth creation, a point you finally agree on.

It's not compelling for people who think the government must borrow before it can spend. Governments that control and issue their own currency stimulate greater wealth creation by the private sector when they spend more than they tax in any given year (aka deficit spending).

No one said "better job." I'm just happy you now agree government does create wealth....?

Been thinking about this, given Morse’s issues. I think they’re fine on the interior with the guys you list. I think they are better with Nsekhe at RT, so they do need a swing T. Hopefully they will play Bates at both tackles in these next 2 games as an audition.

No, you're in the archives from 10 years ago....

Both actions increase the value of their stock. I’m glad you finally acknowledge that government influences wealth creation.
