So everyone believes now that after not being able to take over more than the very easternmost section of Ukraine….Russia is now going to move on to Poland? Have you ever played Risk?

Wonderful! Instead of shrinking the footprint of this conflict, or press for peace, let’s expand it into another neighboring country. Plenty of new, fertile ground to sell bombs to.

Cognitive deficit? He’ll fit right in! 😂

And easier to spell!

Theocracy? Oh come on. Yes, let’s divorce ourselves from all of society’s ancient principles so we can turn over everything to the progressive State. I thought we were trying to have a conversation. And thanks for the spelling lesson…I work with a bunch of people from Texas and I’ve been trying to work that one into emails now and again. 😉

The relevance is that this is a very old societal concept. It’s not something I made up since Trump (or whatever) got you’all riled up. And as regards to your red state v blue state nonsense, I live in California. We have literally millions of poor people here. Lumping everyone together based on some ‘progressive’ political agenda is ridiculous.

Possibly, for a bit, but I think you’re limiting your thinking to keeping every other economic variable exactly as it is right now. Society/business would adjust and paychecks would change. The vast majority of the adjustment could be done with a single computer program. As I always say, nobody cares what their gross pay is. They only care what their net pay is. So raise lower earners pay and reduce upper earners pay to compensate for the change in tax policy. Don’t think it’s possible? Heck we just raised the minimum wage in the last few years by more than the evolution I’m proposing. Then…when everyone is paying the same percentage, a solidly biblical principle, we’ll see who’s ready to expand some ridiculous government program or raise taxes. (Not sure why you think some States’ poor are cohesively red or blue though.)

Let me be more clear then. I’m firmly against a progressive tax system. Until everyone is paying the exact same percentage of their income (all kinds of income) you’ll never fix most/any of the problems you’all are so desperate to argue about on here. Is that simple enough for you?

Wait! We’re TRYING to win a championship? Go figure! Who knew?

I pray they change to a blocking scheme where the OL actually….blocks. 😉

Lots of pros and cons with Edmunds but in the end it all comes down to how much money THIS team wants to invest in him. I’m guessing it’s not as much as some OTHER team would like to. So, if he’s gone, it’s up to the Bills defensive brain trust to change their strategy with his absence. In fact, I’m praying it’ll force them to. Unfortunately, I have very little confidence that they will…and therein lies the problem.

You left out the best one. Governor Newsome didn’t want us go to in the wet sand.

You’re kidding, right? The problem is not that we’re taxing people. The problem is that our government is picking a seemingly arbitrary amount to spend. Or haven’t you been paying attention to the nonstop debt limit extensions?

Wouldn’t the fairest system be if everyone paid the same percentage of their income? I mean if we’re all in this together, let’s ALL be in this together!

Not in the debate you were having. No it definitely is not. The classic liberal crap….if we just tax the heck out of the rich, my life will magically be better. Yet somehow their lives are never better even after managing to have spent over $30,000,000,000,000 more than we’ve taken in. When exactly does the magic kick in already?

And here we go again. Yet another poster who wrongly believes that the amount of tax paid by ‘rich people’ has any impact on their own economic standing. While it may impact the national debt, the amount of tax paid by Bill Gates has virtually zero impact on me, you, or anyone else.

No, I don’t. She will be running against Trump.

Yes, the Today Show is on a major network, and I’m guessing has a significant female audience. But instead of asking Ms Haley about her journey and experience building an incredible record of public service…the host keeps coming back to Trump, as if she’s not even sitting there. Extremely disrespectful! (And if you think that interview won’t be picked up and replayed with other outlets, you are even more naive than I gave you credit for.)

And the cycle has already started up afresh. I watched the Today Show’s interview with Nikki Haley and the host kept interrupting her on every answer trying to turn the discussion back to Trump. I was shocked that Ms Haley didn’t get up and tell the guy to go f$&k himself.

Oh come on! The other side literally and knowingly lied to the American people to sway the electorate prior to an election. And that was after they literally, and knowingly lied to the electorate to promote a ridiculous impeachment proceeding, only to hire these same ‘insurrectionists’ as contributors. And that was after they promoted a later to be convicted criminal as the next democratic presidential candidate. Shall we go on? Yes…BOTH sides are looking for ratings. Is this somehow complicated to you?

My point exactly. And it makes virtually no sense given the style of defense they play.

Now do CNN and the rest of the mainstream media with the Russia-gate, and Hunter laptop stories. Do ALL of these channels, including Fox, have an agenda and a target audience? Obviously they do.

I’m not going to shed many tears when anyone of defensive side leaves. And that says a lot about Frazier’s (McD’s) scheme right there. Our defense doesn’t depend on standout, leave them on an island playmakers, but instead looks for team players who have the discipline to fill their assigned zone. In my opinion there’s no reason to break the bank for any of these guys…but we’ll see.

Mid March isn’t that far away. Look at it from the Team’s perspective. If Edmunds is gone, they have just a few weeks to rethink much of their draft board. It’ll be interesting. (On the other hand, I cannot say the same for Singletary.)

Yes, I indeed went to the far end of the spectrum to drive home the point. I was hoping it would clarify the issue. Apparently it didn’t. Carry on!
