I have seen someone's ear bitten by a dog, in no more than the cartilage area you speak of, and there was a similar amount of blood.

Here's the thing: either it's wrong to espouse rhetoric that incites violent acts and is something that should be held to account, or it is not. But no matter what, you can't ignore it when your tribe does it, and then cry foul when the shoe is on the other foot.

Lol. Maybe I should have said down to earth instead. Like the opposite of getting too caught up in the rhetoric. Regardless, I thought your comment was a well-timed change up and lightened the mood for a bit.

This is why I don't mind our other conversations. You're a completely straight shooter and have no problems making a joke like that. It's hard not to respect, even if we aren't politically aligned. Although iirc, we agree more than we disagree.

So you're saying that speech should be held to account when it can incite people to violent actions like an assassination attempt? Or even maybe... oh idk... a riot in the capitol?

I love that man so much, even if we have some policy differences.

I almost spit out my drink lmao. 5 stars 👍

I actually have no idea how accountability was handled in previous assassination attempts. But I'd assume that someone has always been held accountable in some fashion. Again though, I don't know how far up the food chain that went and whether previous SS directors have resigned in the past. If this is the first time ever that an SS director has been asked to resign, then I contend that suggestion is political in nature, not practical. In the event that no one has ever been held accountable in any single previous assassination attempt, then now is as good a time to start as ever.

Fwiw boyst, right on man and good for you. I don't necessarily disagree either.... But a lot of the other posters on here are basically dumbfounded at the idea that their side would ever do something retaliatory and instead hold the moral high ground. The content of your ideas isn't why I quoted you per se. It's because you've literally stated that retaliation isn't out of the question, which is exactly that which @Roundybout and I predicted. Honestly it's a bit confusing.

Makes me wonder how the hammer fell after previous assassination attempts. If a resignation has never happened before, then that suggestion is clearly politically motivated. But if that's been the norm in the past, then I agree with continuing the practice.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Thank you for making my point.

I'm seeing a whole lot of anger on the right aimed towards the left right now (including examples littering this very thread), and anger is a common prerequisite to violence. The phrases "tit for tat" and "an eye for an eye" didn't just appear out of thin air.

You almost say it as if you feel sorry for them.

Back when they still used roids and had a smoker's bench.

At the same time, the Bills seem to do better the less they have Josh Allen do. One way to accomplish that is using heavier formations with bigger receivers and a better run/pass balance.

Gotta admit that I've never heard this figure of speech before, but I like it.

Seriously though.

If they did a football podcast that's all it would consist of. And sadly, it'd probably get views... maybe even a Hardee's sponsorship 😅

I think we have the 2nd most wins in the NFL over what, the last 4 years? I have a feeling that next year's draft is going to be a special one because of good moves made this year. We are getting younger with solid talent, and will continue to do so while Allen is in his prime.

Beane doesn't make these trades and acquire extra draft capital for future years if he thinks his job security is in question, since that's just helping the next GM. That's the benefit of not worrying about your future I suppose. You don't have to make risky moves to win now, and can make smart moves to win later.

We had four 5ths, so turning one into a 4th next year is a great trade imo.

I like the pick a lot. Seems like great value for the college production and NFL potential.

That's correct. And the last time I went to the doctor they said I was borderline obese (granted, I was 10lb heavier 6 months ago, but still...). Anyway... point is that he's gotta have some serious muscle density, which is a great plus for a RB. Looking forward to seeing Davis on the field.

I'm 3 inches taller than the RB we just drafted and this dude has 60lbs on me. I can't imagine being 3 inches shorter, 60lbs heavier, and not being fat lol.

Happy with the pick. A lot of the weaknesses in his game are things that can be corrected with good DB coaching, which is exactly what the Bills have to offer. Well done with this one, imo.
