  1. But he has had a number of lawyers and firms back out, I believe. And he put Giuliani in charge. Those are just facts.
  2. The process is playing out. All the states will certify their votes, they will show that the President-elect is in fact the President-elect. The process that is not, in fact, process, is the losing candidate filing lawsuit after lawsuit with no justification, and not allowing the President-elect access to information he needs to ensure proper hand off of government. It is time for all, including the most ardent Trump supporter, to realize that what they are doing is the equivalent of coddling a misbehaving child, Rather than trying to reason with a spoiled brat, you tell him the way things are going to be. We are where we are right now because we have a spoiled brat instead of a functioning adult in the white House for a few more weeks.
  3. Assuming your contention is correct, which I challenge, it would likely have to do with more legal mail in ballots sent by Democrats because they were concerned about the Coronavirus.
  4. A free press is the bastion of democracy. Without it you fall into totalitarianism. That said, it is laughable how so many towards the right always want to lean on media outlets like CNN. As if Fox and now OAN and Newsmax are somehow the guardians of honest, non-biased reporting. The issue is not whether the press tells the truth or not, the issue is that the reader has already made up his or her mind about what they want to believe and refuse to let actual data sway their view. And that goes for either extreme of the political spectrum.
  5. In every election there is a smattering of human error that affects a few votes. Note: a few votes. There has never been, nor would I say there will ever be, mistakes that result in a problem with tens of thousands of ballots in multiple states. Unless it is deliberate. And only one party in this election seems to want to use illegal tactics to throw the election. Oh , and a recount in Georgia found a few votes that favor Trump. So there goes you theory that they only work in Biden's favor.
  6. You realize the Georgia Secretary of State and his wife have received death threats for him upholding a legal election, right?
  7. If the state legislatures did something like is being described it would disenfranchise the voters, which is antithetical to a democratic form of government.
  8. I found the Richards thing intriguing, and it caused me to think about MacArthur. I think the MacArthur parallel is more to the point than you. The degree of adoration in Trump supporters is reminiscent of MacArthur. This election is over, much like MacArthur’s command, but each of their supporters went through bouts of extreme hyperbole and denial. I know you keep asking why he should not be allowed to address things through the legal system, but he has. A number of times. And to absolutely no avail. Back during the Korean conflict it was critical that the idea of one Commander in Chief be upheld. The same now. We need to have an orderly transmission to the duly elected next Commander in Chief to assure the proper functioning of government.
  9. This is your standard response when you cannot defend your position. Trump said that under Article 2 he could do whatever he wanted. Obviously wrong, and a violation of his oath to defend the Constitution. Do you or do you not think he wanted to be a dictator?
  10. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Yeldon replace Motor for a game just to see.
  11. Yes, and ours was not quashed precisely because the people did not allow it. Do you seriously question Trump wanting to be a dictator?
  12. I am independent. You are the partisan here. Why is it that to those in your universe that only those that trend to the left are partisan, but those like you that only watch Fox New or the other right wing alternatives are not? You lose the ability of the press to question government, you have a dictatorship. But that's what you wanted with Trump, wasn't it? Did he not say that under Article 2 he could do whatever he wanted? I voted for Biden not because I'm a fan of many of his policies, but because he wants to maintain our system of government and not turn our country into a dictatorship. So my question for you is simple: why did you want to have a dictator run our country?
  13. The late bye works well for the Bills. I think anyone would have taken 7-3 at this juncture, and now we get guys healthy for the stretch run.
  14. Freedom of the press is a bedrock of our democracy. Tear that down and you might as well pack it in.
  15. We have the inside track and the Fish are winning games with special teams plays and D. Tua hasn't been all that impressive, and as teams get film on him they'll slow him down even further. I remain optimistic about us winning the division.
  16. It will likely come down to the last game of the year but both the Bills and Fish should make the playoffs. We control our destiny; should really have no problems with LA, Denver, a banged up Niners team. The Fish have three fairly easy opponents coming up. We need to handle the Pats again, assume the Steelers is a loss, they will lose to the Chiefs and Raiders. We still have the inside track.
  17. Read something on Politico this morning about getting past Trump to Keith Richard's fight against heroin addiction. Essentially what Richards did is he just refused to acknowledge the junkies around him, refused to be dragged down with them and refused to succumb to them urging him to take another snort. While I get the Richards analogy, I would draw another one: General Douglas MacArthur. When MacArthur ignored orders from Truman, Truman finally said enough was enough and sent Ridgeway to Korea to relieve MacArthur. And the uproar was terrific. Congress had MacArthur come to give an address to the joint House and Senate. The adoration was incredible; one Congressman even went so far as to exclaim that MacArthur was God in the flesh. It was assumed he would be President, assumed that the war would be lost. Truman was excoriated by the Congress, by the press, really by the people themselves. And what happened? ridgeway turned the Korean conflict round by actually taking care of his troops, making sure they had essentials like boots and uniforms and food. MacArthur went on the lecture tour to start what all assumed would be his presidential campaign, but became so increasingly strident and illogical that he fairly quickly was ignored by even his most ardent supporters. Truman of course went on and decided not to run again, and history now looks back on him as one of the better presidents. Trump is MacArthur. He lost, he got fired, and as his ranting becomes more and more illogical he will become ignored just like MacArthur, just like the junkies around Keith Richards. Ignore him and he'll fade away.
  18. If it was Josh that made those plays we'd be crowing about what great plays he made. Murray is a special talent. Sometimes the other guy makes a good play.
  19. Terrible kick of course, but if we got rid of everyone who makes one mistake at work we'd have no businesses in the world. I would be looking for another punter because he's not doing a good job killing kicks inside the 10 yard line.
  20. Do they really? show us the breakdown of long pass plays then. You are just ridiculous. You don't care that they lost yesterday, all you care about is whether they have long pass plays because to you that's exciting.
  21. Talking about angus King as Director of National Intelligence and Michele Flournoy as Sec Def. Both very experienced and solid choices.
  22. They are specifically taking that away from the Bills. You honestly need to go take a class and learn about the game of football.
  23. Yes, Beasley caught a dozen balls. Watch the game.
  24. Tough way to lose obviously. But we got vanilla in both sides of the ball again in the 3rd quarter, and we take 4 penalties on one offensive series, one of which negates an incredible play which also lost us Smoke. Dumb stuff like that has to stop.
