I have no doubt that Trump fantasizes about it but he simply doesn't have the balls to risk treason. Moreover, I doubt that the US military will go along with it since the reason for martial law are civil unrest or rioting. Unlike Trump, American military men and women, top to bottom, take their oath to preserve, protect and defend the US Constitution seriously.

'Cuz it's the best shirt he owns? I checked to see what a "gaylord box" is because from what it sounded like, it sounded like it was some kind of bin. Gaylord boxes are pallet sized cardboard boxes with covers. Some have integral lids and others have lids. Who the hell ships anything without taping down covers or lids?

I think that Allen would be fine with another OC as long as it wasn't some idiot who thinks he's God's gift to offensive football and installs an offense that doesn't fit Allen's skills and demands that Allen be something he's not.

I was struck by the obvious incompetence exhibited by this nut-case, so I looked her up and found that she had bonafide legal credentials earlier in her career, including being a federal prosecutor for a decade but that was more than thirty years ago. She moved on to defending ENRON executives and other slimebags with deep pockets and embraced Far Right politics in the 1990s, and now apparently leans on alt-Right conspiracy theories to hide her legal incompetence.

My experience in public service on the state level leads me to agree with you. Career civil servants in junior and middle levels of government are the people who make government agencies work. They owe their loyalty to the state (or to the United States in the case of federal employees) not to a particular governor or POTUS. The political appointees in high up the political food chain are the individuals beholden to the current office holder and who do the current office holder's bidding. I have absolutely no doubt that untermenschen in the FBI, DHS, DOD etc have knowledge/evidence of wrong doing that they've collected/assembled and passed on to their superiors via emails that have been buried in those superiors' archived emails. My guess is that the fear of what might come to light under a Biden administration is what is behind the discussions about pardons for the Baby Trumps and Crazy Rudy. I think that if Flynn was the person who attempted to make this bribe, that his pardon is likely voided, and Trump may also be criminally liable for participating for granting it.

Fans of other teams who come here to discuss football aren't necessarily trolls. Trolls come to a another team's fan site to stir up trouble. Zerovoltz hasn't ever done that. I think that the 2017 trade between the Bills and Chiefs, the subsequent stardom of Mahomes, and the emergence of Allen and the Bills as an AFC power link the two teams together to form a potential rivalry.

I totally disagree with your assessment for the cause of the division within the country. Every generation has different views about what's important and how to do things because each generation shares different experiences. The "Greatest Generation" was shaped by the Great Depression and World War II but their children, the Baby Boomers, were shaped by the threat of nuclear annihilation and the Vietnam War. Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Zers all had their own experiences, too. Members of older generations always think the younger generations are dumber, lazier, more entitled, less motivated than they were. Your reasoning sounds pretty much like an old guy complaining about young guys not being him. The division within the country has its origins in the profound and rapid changes that the US has undergone in the last fifty years. It has become a more diverse country with new groups like women, Blacks, and Hispanics now vying with white males for places at the table. It's likely that the US will become a majority non-white country in the next 30 years or so. The traditional economy of agriculture, manufacturing, and mining (including oil/natural gas extraction) has morphed into a new economy dominated by high tech. The country has become increasingly urban, with 80% of Americans living in urban areas, and the largest urban metros have become richer and younger while rural areas have not only lost population but have become poorer and older. Automation and technology have diminished opportunities for blue-collar/pink collar workers while expanding opportunities for the well educated managers, techies, and innovators. I could go on, but the point is that the kind of fundamental changes we've witnessed in the last half century stem from those who embrace the changes and those who resist them. The rise of 24/7 news and social media only exacerbate the divisions.

I wasn't a fan of taking Allen in 2017 but he was better than Darnold, whom it seemed was the Bills first choice until the Jests traded up to #3.

There's a serious lack of talent on the Eagles, especially on the offense. They simply haven't drafted very well in the last 5 or 6 years. For example, Wentz is their only Pro Bowler that they've drafted during that period. Their OL, once the best in the league, gave a remarkable facsimile of some of the Bills' worst OLs from the Jauron era against the Seahawks. I think the FO needs to be held at least if not more responsible for the Eagles failures as Pederson.

Moral of the story: it's better to be lucky than good. None of the QBs in the 2016 draft have turned out to be nearly as good as Mahomes --- or DeShaun Watson.

Too stupid to be sane. You're as stupid and ignorant as your hero, Covid Donnie.

Actually, the FBI did uncover a few instances of election fraud but we're talking about a relative handful of votes total and all done by individuals not by some organized group but that kind of thing happens in every election.

Barr's been meeting with Trump for 2 hours now. I suppose if he's been fired, he can at least say he wasn't terminated via Twitter.

Apparently Barr has had enough of Trump's bullcrap.

I guess that Teddy-boy drew the short straw and had to come here to uphold the Trump narrative, which is why he sounds like the brainwashed mental patient he is.

the only "scam" here is Trump raising $150-170 million for his post-presidency slush fund, aca "leadership pac".

The hospitals in Chautauqua County also aren't overwhelmed, but if you travel 30 miles north to Erie County, all elective surgeries are banned because of the rising hospitalizations there, and the reality is that our three small community hospitals could be easily be overwhelmed if hospitalizations in their immediate areas rose by 20-50 in a week or so.

I have this fantasy that that tiny desk was deliberately chosen by some WH untermench to make the Snowflake-in-Chief look like the spoiled brat he is.

McCarthy's accusations had a chilling effect on American politics for most of the 1950s and into the 1960s because being accused of being "a Communist" was the kiss of death to anybody's political ambitions, but during the mid-1950s, there was a general consensus in the US that Communism was an invidious menace that threatened the US from within and without. By the late 1950s, the idea that Communism was an internal threat to the US faded into far right wing conspiracy theory that lasted for decades while the consensus American opinion saw Communism as a foreign menace.

Specifics on Trump's post-election fund raising for his slush fund: Trump's Slushy

Nope. The Kraken in GA -- and in all the other states where Trump tried to overturn the election -- failed spectacularly. All six states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin -- certified that Biden won their state's electoral votes. It's not a publicity stunt -- it's simply a scam to raise tens of millions of dollars for a "leadership PAC" that's nothing more than a slush fund that Trump can use for whatever he wants, including filling own coffers. Seventy five percent of the donations to the Trump "legal defense" get funneled into this PAC.

Biden turned 78 after the election. Trump will be 78 during the election campaign, so he would be the oldest. More to the point, Biden is in good physical condition for a 77 year old, as evidenced by his trim physique and the fact that he bikes regularly. Trump is obese and doesn't exercise except to walk from his golf cart to his golf ball and back 9 or 18 times when he golfs. He also apparently had some visible physical impairments when he visited West Point back in the spring. I don't think Trump's physical health will enable him to make another presidential run, especially if he's put under stress from the state criminal and civil legal cases that are likely to plague him for the next few years.

Pretty much this. He's a loose cannon, and I have no doubt that he'll raise ever more bizarre fraud and conspiracy claims at least once in his Georgia trip if not at every rally. It plays well to Trump Cultists but Perdue and Loeffler aren't Trump, and many, if not most, Trump cultists are unreliable voters without their hero at the top of the ticket. At some point, reliable Republican voters who aren't Trump cultists may very well stay home on January 5, 2021 in disgust at Trump's charges against GA governor Brian Kemp and secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who are (probably not so much now) strong supporters of Trump despite his attacks on them. Moreover, Trump's attempt to change the election result in Georgia and his wild charges are likely to induce Georgia Democrats to come out and vote in the run offs.

In areas where the medical systems were -- or are -- being overwhelmed by covid-19 hospitalizations, people who suffer from other life-threatening illnesses or traumas were/are likely to not receive the same quality of care in as timely a manner as they would have received in normal times. That undoubtedly contributed to many of the excess deaths. Other people with chronic conditions may have suffered symptoms that were warning signs of deteriorating health but choose not to see a doctor or go to an emergency room because of their fear of contracting Covid-19, so their deaths would contribute to the total of "unexpected" deaths. I'm not sure if suicides or deaths from drugs/alcohol have increased, but I would expect that those would increase as the stress from the continuing pandemic have had negative effects on mental health.

I was going to give you a LOL reaction to this but that just seemed inappropriate. This b'tard is the worst mass murderer in US history.
