It’s one of the smallest capacity stadiums in the NFL despite being the largest market with only one team. You can fit like 10-12k more people at the Ralph. It was pretty empty for the 2022 game since it was so cold. Brought a flag with the white standing buffalo on a red field and was able to get close to field level and wave it as the guys were coming off the field.

I’m in Chicago, but I’m not paying $100 for a preseason game. I was at the frozen Christmas Eve game in 2022. That was quite the experience.

Hope he’s having fun. Chicago is a fun town

I was thinking of going but ticket prices were ridiculous. When the Bills came to Chicago for the preseason in 2021, we got United Club tickets for like $80. Nosebleeds for today were more expensive than that.

Yeah, I’d much rather have him than Mitch as QB2

Give me more Ray Davis

Yeah, keep it simple for him, create space for him to get it in there. I think Ben Johnson has a chance to shake up the NFC north

Not worried about the backups allowing that drive but I will say that I was pretty impressed with the Bears offensive design there. Getting guys open for Caleb.

There's an easy answer as to why the GOP is working hard to bury Trump's relationship with Epstein and why it is teeming with pedos (while the Dem party, for all its faults, has far, far, fewer examples). It is the GOP that pushes the notion of a "traditional" household where the husband is in charge. They generally support a patriarchal society where the husband works and makes the decisions, while the wife stays home to raise the kids and cook dinner. This naturally flows into a mindset that views girls primarily as future mothers, whose purpose is to bring forth more children. That's why whenever you see a crazy story about people trying to lower age of consent or age of marriage laws, it's almost always a Republican movement. It's why you have the current Secretary of Defense supporting religious leaders who preach that women must be submissive to their husbands and that an ideal society would have one vote per household, cast by the father. While many of us are concerned about low birth rates, the GOP quickly dismisses the easiest solutions (immigration, better healthcare, affordable childcare) in favor of policies to push there preferred demographic into having more kids, intentionally or not. An environment where women are submissive, and their purpose is solely to bring forth more children, is the dream environment for a pedo who wants to control women from very young ages. It's something so outlandish that you reject it when you first hear it, and you continue to reject it for a while, but when the evidence continues to pile up, the whole thing becomes a bit more clear.

“4. No syncretistic faith can withstand analytical criticism. The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge. For [MAGA], disagreement is treason.“

“We can unilaterally release files about MLK, Clinton, whoever, but we have no ability to release Epstein files and therefore, Congress is now closed.” I mean, even if you didn’t think there was something there in the Epstein thing before, you have to think there is at this point.

If the proposal was to go back to Washington Football Team instead of Commanders, I’d be more sympathetic. Commanders is such a lame name.

Looks like they can release the MLK files and the Hillary Clinton files but for some weird reason, they can’t release the Epstein files… Anyone have a guess as to why that might be?

There’s a really easy solution to this for the party in power: just put it on the floor for an up or down vote. Weird how it seems they will do anything to avoid that…

Two weeks. Just give him two weeks, man. It’s gonna be great in two weeks. He’ll have it all fixed in two weeks.

I’m sure the Free Speech and Small Government crowds are outraged that the President of the United States is trying to rename private enterprises to align with his ideology.

ITT: Self-proclaimed free speech warriors / anti cancel culture people excited that someone whose speech they disagree with is being canceled almost certainly to facilitate a corporate merger. I can’t remember the last time I watched Colbert but dear lord you’re all telling on yourselves here.

The MAGA lie here is that they have a plan to transition these programs to the states. They don't. They're just getting rid of the people who ensure that the programs are meeting kids' needs and letting it all fall to the wind. Sure, some states may step in to close the gaps, but many can't or won't. And the kids in those states will suffer because of it. They could have proposed a plan to transition programs, to ensure there won't be negative externalities, but they didn't. Because they don't care. "Let's see how the states do" is just "I don't give a damn about other people's kids as long as I get mine." Interesting idea that this all "Seemed to work well enough prior to the feds unsuccessfully attempting to save the day" when the point of the Feds coming in is that states were violating students civil rights and not providing help of those in need. The bottom line is that they have zero solutions. Anything they don't like, they'll burn to the ground and let other people sort out, no matter the consequences.

You think Early Intervention doesn’t work? Head Start? IEPs?

So screw kids with disabilities or development delays, or in low-income households / areas? Stop enforcing civil rights in the education space? It really feels like much of MAGA is "I don't like the status quo but instead of trying to actually fix anything, I'd like to burn the house to the ground and make everything worse."

Why would the party of Edison Misla Aldarondo, Randal David Ankeney, Robert Bauman, John Allen Burt, Keola Childs, Dan Crane, Richard A. Delgaudio, Joseph Russell Dendy, Mike Folmer, Jack W. Gardner, Philip A. Giordano, Mark A. Grethen, Jon Grunseth, Dennis Hastert, Paul Ingram, John Jessup, Earl Kimmerling, Anton Lazzaro, Donald Lukens, Jon Matthews, RJ May, Roy Moore, Jonathan G. Newell, Tim Nolan, Jeffrey Patti, Mark Pazuhanich, Beverly Russell, Larry Schawrz, Ralph Shortey, Fred C. Smeltzer, Jr., Donald Trump, Robin Vanderwall, Ruben Verastigui, Keith Westmoreland, etc. want to cover up for pedophiles?

It is pretty crucial for families in need, kids with developmental delays, teacher training, research, protecting civil rights, and setting minimum standards, among other things. One of the reasons it exists is because without federal administration and funding, some states either could not, or would not do these things, leading to increased disparity in opportunities for kids and students. Before it was elevated to a cabinet level department, it was founded as the Office of Education as part of reconstruction to ensure civil rights in education. Even now, one of its functions is to disburse funds to low-income students through Title I. With the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title VI, it is in charge of prohibiting racial discrimination because federal funds are involved. Without the Department of Education, states can stop providing for these programs and will have an easier time discriminating against populations. Which I think is the point.

Republicans block effort to force release of Epstein files in Congress Republicans on the House Rules committee voted to block an amendment requiring Bondi to compile and release the Epstein files within 30 days. Ralph Norman was the only Republican to vote for the amendment. Chip Roy did not vote. GOP: Guarding Our Pedophiles

If you think they would have had the balls to break the law to end Trump, you have a much higher opinion of the Democratic Party than I do.

Some pretty gross antisemitic stuff. Saw one about how Jews control the world and should be exterminated. Good thing they shut it down
