  1. I am Christian but have not been treated badly. Can you explain?
  2. It would not agree with that. But our form of government has three coequal branches. Biden believes in that and Trump does not.
  3. i was thinking about the beard myself but I know it would come in all white and I'd be depressed.
  4. This election to me is about our form of government surviving. It should be abundantly clear Trump wants an autocratic government. Go back and look at Bannon's stuff before 2016 election.
  5. They were saying readers misconstrued it. Masks should not be a political issue. The bulk of data shows they help mitigate spread. It is a public health concern.
  6. We'll just have to disagree. Ultimately what is needed to get us out of this nonsense is a viable third party that wrests control away from the two parties that only want to remain in power. I suggest formation of the 537 Party. You nee one person for each congressional district, two for each senate position per state, and a President and Vice President. If we could get 537 people who recognize that effective government means honest debate and dialog, that decisions on the main issues of the day require compromise and consensus, then we can get back to actually getting things done for the citizens of this nation. It didn't used to be this way. When Nixon the criminal occupied the office, both parties recognized the harm to the country. Reagan and Tip O'Neill were as diametrically opposed politically as any two people could be, but they would sit down for drinks at the White House on a regular basis, because they knew that governance required them to work together, as when they saved Social Security. We can do this again but we need people in DC that put country before party. Let's flip a coin. Winner can be President and loser Vice President.
  7. All for that. As for the original topic, these extremists in Michigan need to be convicted and jailed for life. Would say the same if some far left loons did the same against, say, the governor of South Dakota.
  8. A few weeks later the authors of this article published a comment saying their data was misconstrued and in fact they felt their results supported mask use.
  9. Understand your points. The extremes of both parties should not have a voice in governance in my opinion. The majority of people in this country are in the middle; more conservative on some issues and more liberal in others. Those are the positions that should govern. Yes it does. And many have done so this year. I did as part of a walk to bring attention to the racial divide in this country. And when it turns to looting and rioting law enforcement should stop it and arrest those responsible, either left or right wing instigators.
  10. People who have actively rooted for the Bills to lose as you did all last year should not be allowed to post in this forum.
  11. I hate to tell you but Biden will not try to become a dictator. And if he did I would fight it. I am an Independent. I have voted for many Republicans. I’m voting for Holcomb for governor here in Indiana because he has done a fine job. But anyone who believes Trump is anywhere near qualified to hold the highest office in this land, who believes he should have the power to have his finger on the nuclear button, really needs to step back and think. I’d love for the Republican Party to get back to actually being Republican. They’d have my vote.
  12. Article 2 of the Constitution. As for the pandemic he is simply inept. And governors of states have emergency powers they can enact; my Republican governor in Indiana did so.
  13. He said specifically that Article 2 means he can do whatever he wants.
  14. That would be phenomenal.
  15. If the Democrats had run anyone but Clinton in 16 they win. They win this year because women, especially middle class suburban women, are leaving Trump. And I can tell you that based on living in a Republican district and talking to women who refuse to vote for the man. They do not buy his attempt at trying to create hysteria in the suburbs. He also is losing folks like me, older white men with college educations. His mismanagement of the Covid situation puts the elderly at risk, and the insults and irrational rants make folks like me convinced he is incapable of running the country. I didn't vote for either in 16, I voted for Johnson and Weld. But frankly I would vote for a ham sandwich if it was running against Trump this year. I do so because I want our constitutional form of government to continue to exist. When Trump says he can do anything he wants under the Constitution, when he says he takes no responsibility for a pandemic that has killed over 200k citizens (and we know from his own words with Woodward that he knew about the dangers), he disqualifies himself from occupying the office. There will be policies under a Biden admin I will strongly disagree with, but we will still have the government framed by our Constitution vs. the autocracy Trump wants. And that is what this election should be about. And from talking with folks like me, same demographic, many feel the same way.
  16. This is crap. The staff has to prepare game plans for two teams within days and could cancel one of them a day of two before.
  17. If I’m the Bills I refuse to play a team this weekend that had so many test positive over the past week. And while I’d rather get the W on the field I think the Titans should have to forfeit. They are the ones who decided to violate protocols and caused the game to be cancelled (I presume it will be), so they should have to pay the cost.
  18. Nonsense. They do every year after the colleges finish conference games.
  19. Truman. Didn't agree with everything he did, but he was faced with huge decisions and made them without apology.
  20. Possible yes. Possible the other way as well.
  21. If he tested positive a couple days after the game he undoubtedly had some virus on Sunday.
  22. Not surprising. Given the ineptness of the NFC East the Football Team can still win the division.
  23. I will be stunned if we play the Titans game anytime soon. Way too many positive cases there. I’d also be stunned if we don’t see positive later this week given that Hurst from the Raiders was spreading virus during the game Sunday. I thought when this started we’d see the beginning but not the end of the season. Hope I’m wrong but it’s heading that way
  24. Youth with athleticism wins out over experience without athleticism. More the rule than the exception
