When we take over the White House (we still have to flip a coin for which of us takes which position), we can wipe out around 6 cabinet departments minimum, don’t you think? Then I get a good accountant to tell me what each Senator and Congressman gets in federal funding, and I give them a month to tell me what cuts they make to decrease their federal spending by 30%. If they don’t I arbitrarily decide, then send the bill to Congress.

Go do it. The trials showed no real risks for any of the 3.

I agree with opening schools. So does the current administration. I have my vaccination. Do you?

It is time for people who care about the country to stand up against lies. If that means I’m triggered I’m proud to be so.

I am not a Democrat. I am Independent. There is absolutely no evidence that the election was stolen, and all those who care for actual democracy need to stand up and say so. As for fraud in the Democratic nominations, show me your proof.

The election was not stolen. Stop with this crap.

So be it. I’d keep Cozins and Dahiln.

I got the Pfizer early on since I work in health care. No problems.

If guys like Eichel and others hadn’t done it for 3 coaches I’d agree. Effort is on the guys on the ice. Where is the leadership within the team? How many coaches get thrown under the bus? McD got it going by making it clear what he expected, and getting rid of guys who weren’t bought in. Do the same with the Sabres.

Not that I’m liberal, although you seem to think so. But in the third post in this thread I said he should resign.

Very well stated

When history looks back at this pandemic, it will be very critical of how politics took precedence over science and medicine.

I work in reproductive medicine, and was for a time the go to person for interviews with one of the local news stations when such subjects came up. One was the story of the man expecting a baby. The individual was biologically female (XX) but identified as male. My response in the interview was that it was not surprising that an individual who is biologically female was having a baby (I put it in more delicate terms than that). I have seen a number of such patients over the years, and it is not as black and white as some want to make it. These individuals go through a lot of psychologic trauma. And sometimes the gender reassignment doesn’t fix that, or in fact can make it worse. I think surgical intervention should be held off until the patient can consent independent of parents. If a child identifies with the opposite gender and to be raised as such then appropriate family counseling is very important before one would initiate any hormonal therapy. As far as transexual involvement in sports, I think if you have not had gender reassignment surgery to remove the testes, and you identify as female, then it seems reasonable to look at testosterone levels to determine eligibility.

Yes they can and yes that is capitalism. For example, back in the day when some refused to buy French fries because companies didn’t rename them “freedom fries” I was perfectly happy cruising through Mickey D’s for my fix.

Didn’t catch that it was a joke. My bad.

K9, you are flat out wrong. An NFL owner can own two different sports franchises if they are in the same market. Paul Allen owns the Trail Blazers and Seahawks because they consider that the same market. And I think they even relaxed it more in 2018. Just admit you're wrong when you're wrong. Here's a link, they can even own say a hockey team in a city where another owner has an NFL team as of 2018. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/10/17/nfl-finally-ditches-cross-ownership-policy/

Right. So when he sat Skinner for basically being a big tub of goo on the ice, how many people got on Kruger instead of Skinner?

I think they hoped Kruger and Adams are like McD and Beane in that they have a vision of how to build a consistent winning team, and that believe in processes to do so. For McD and Beane to do that with the Bills they had to move a lot of players out to get guys who bought in. Which brings me again to guys like Eichel. Is there a coach he will actually decide he wants to play for? Reinhardt? Skinner? When is it about the player and not the coach?

Wrong.

So let’s say Kruger gets canned. Then you’ll have Eichel and the rest of the underachievers say they are all in with what the new guy preaches, just like they’ve done the last two times. And then they’ll come out and underperform. Get players that want to play hockey.

Godspeed to your family on your mom’s passing.

And if infection rates go up?

I think we're close. Got to get the vaccines done!

Yes. The CDC is saying that if you have individuals WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED they can gather without masks. In Texas I believe only 7% of individuals have been vaccinated. Facts are stubborn things.

The governors of Texas and Mississippi can make decisions for their state; one hopes their infection rates don't skyrocket as a result. By the same token, governors of other states that are more in tune with the existing CDC recommendation should be perfectly within their rights to ban any one traveling from Texas of Mississippi from entering their states.
