Here’s what I don’t understand. I can see not liking the way TC presented the videos, but were they selectively edited? For example, are there other parts of the tapes in which the Shamon dude was acting violently while inside the Capitol? Did he attack police officers? Did he vandalize the building? And…are there other parts of the video that show Officer Sicknick stumbling around or in other sorts of physical duress? If we had a functioning Justice system (instead of a politically motivated police state) none of this would be an issue.

Should we trade Ed Oliver?
SoCal Deek replied to Floridagatorsbuffalobills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Time to move on from Ed, unfortunately. He’s severely underperformed from his draft status. -
Thanks. I see these over arching labels thrown around a bit too much these days. I much prefer addressing things issue by issue. For example, on most, if not all, fiscal policies I’m extremely conservative (just as I am with my personal finances) whereas on most ‘social’ issues I’m very liberal…with the caveat that this is only in reference to adults; not children.

I’m not so sure I agree. It’s all in just how you measure it I guess. Sure, we haven’t seen a third World War, but instead we have these proxy wars being fought in second and third world countries all over the planet. Seems to me that the people in charge have just decided it’s better to hash things out in countries that no one has ever heard of or had plans to visit on summer vacation. 😉

Drafting Has Been A Problem For Decades
SoCal Deek replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agreed with your take, but you left out the player development/coaching staff AFTER these guys are drafted. -
Just kidding, as usual, Hawk. (This place needs a serious dose of levity.) But I do marvel at how the current administration brushed away this entire conflict just a year ago…and we somehow went from overlooking a ‘small incursion’ to ‘as long as it takes’ (their words not mine) in that same span. There simply has to be a better way to run a civilized world. To quote George Costanza: “We’re trying to have a society here!”

Drafting Has Been A Problem For Decades
SoCal Deek replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall
Here it is a nutshell, and in this order: 1. Without Allen, the Bills are not a playoff team. 2. Without Brady leaving NE, the Bills are not winning the Division. 3. Without McD and McB, the Bills are a perennial sub-500 record. -
Not even close Hawk. It is NEVER appropriate for a member of congress to take the floor of the House or Senate and ‘appeal’ that a news organization should fire or silence a reporter. Never! If Chuck or Mitch want to say they disagree with or verbally dismiss the narrative…fine. But that’s not what Chuck did. Unbelievable that you don’t see how dangerous this is.

I’ve tried to stay out of this discussion because I knew where it would go….as usual. But looking at it from the proverbial 35,000 feet, doesn’t anyone find it odd it that sitting members of Congress would feel this threatened by a single cable television program expressing an opinion, telling a narrative, and showing actual, unaltered video footage of an actual news event? When did America “evolve” into a country where the government controlled the way the press/media/people are allowed to see and discuss a news story? EVERYONE should be REALLY frightened by this unfortunate turn of events. It does not bode well for the future of a formerly free country.

Per Shefty - Bills “expected to lose” Poyer and Edmunds
SoCal Deek replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall
Edmunds? Nope…doesn’t ring a bell. Let me google him. -
With all due respect, having Congress produce a television show that flat out lies to the American public in order to advance a narrative aimed at castrating their political opponents is hardly nothing. This thing makes Trump’s phone call to the President of Ukraine look like a preschool production.

The most important example of the clips Tucker showed was NOT of the protestors, but was the edited clip of the congressional representatives running from the chamber. The clips were edited to make it look as if only one member was running away, but the entire clip reveals that not only was he not the ONLY member running away, but he was NOT in the lead. In fact, all of the members were following the direction of the Capitol Police and the member in question was actually bringing up the rear. Shame on the Committee and on anyone who listened to a word they had to say after seeing that example! Don’t believe or agree with me. Consider this….a jury just sent Murdoch away for LIFE for lying about video evidence.
