    What are these guys supposed to write? 

     

    The Bills & Sabres have given them practically nothing to work with over the past two decades. 

     

    There are only so many ways to write the same article -- but it's not Sully & Bucky's fault that the Bills & Sabres have been stuck in a perpetual, never-ending miasma of failure. 

    I only commented on Sullivan.  Here's how his curmudgeon demeanor sneaks into his writing even when he has every right to rip this team.

     

    "Kyle Williams and Lorenzo Alexander look their age (35). You have to wonder if the Bills kept them around to give the appearance of competing, as the game begins to pass them by."

     

    The first sentence is a fair assessment.  The second sentence is just some conspiracy theory he has. 

     

     

    Bills Release WR Jeremy Kerley; Sign DT Robert Thomas from PS

    If you're committing to Josh Allen for the rest of the year and beyond this move makes sense.  To play to his strengths, you either want tall WR's with a large catch radius or speedy WR's who can stretch the field.  A short, possession WR is not who you want on the field with Josh Allen.  I don't quite know why we signed him in the first place.

    I think it's one of two reasons for the tweets:

     

    1.) He is continuing his long-standing attack on the media, showing the media's penchant for being disingenuous and trying to mislead the public by distorting facts, taking those distorted facts out of context, then presenting the distorted out-of-context facts to the public to further the media narrative that Trump is trying to destroy everything; or

     

    2.) He's an immature and insecure jackwagon who attacks anyone and anything that says something remotely negative about him.

    I'd pry go with both.  I think the problem is his die hard fans who think he can do no wrong can only see the first reason and those that can't stand the guy can only see the second.

    This is exactly why we needed a political thread.

     

    President Donald Trump is disputing the revised official death toll on Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, saying Democrats have inflated the actual number of people who died to make him look bad.

     

    The official death toll now stands at 2975.

     

    This number includes people who died during the storm and a computer estimate of those who died after the storm “due to lack of support and infrastructure”.

     

    GW University researchers counted "indirect deaths" from the hurricane after 6 months - which resulted in the updated 2,975 count

     

     

    So The Donald is right in regards to his opposition trying to make the U.S. response seem as poor as possible,

     

    however, he definitely is an idiot for responding to such an obvious ploy, he just can't help himself.

    I'm guessing they took the average number of deaths by population percentage from previous years and compared it to the same time period since the Hurricane?  So many different variables had to be accounted for and even the best study can severely underestimate or overestimate the actual death count due to the Hurricane.

     

    I'm trying to get my head around Trump's tweets

     

    My first thought was why respond at all?  Don't give your critics red meat.  Maybe use I instead of Trump.  Is he being purposely obtuse ?  Does he not understand how a lack of electricity and other infrastructure problems will increase the death toll from the Hurricane long term?  Does he really think the Democrats made up nearly 3,000 additional deaths to make him look bad? Does he not understand the complexities of getting an estimated long term count of those who died as a result of the Hurricane?  Either way he comes across as cold and self absorbed.
