My family’s official score (Dad and two brothers) is a 78: Bills, Sabres, Yankees, Knicks, NYC FC. My personal score rises to a 93 because I really only follow the Buffalo contact sports: Bills, Sabres. Actually…I am also a major fan of the NLL’s Buffalo Bandits. Since they are in the midst of an epic lacrosse dynasty, I suppose my score should be lowered. Fun site, though! I love quantifying my misery!!

OH MY GOD. Cameron Johnston is Sean McDermott moonlighting as an NFL punter. No one will convince me otherwise until I see them both on a football field at the same time.

American democracy, in my opinion, died with the Citizens United v. FEC decision back in 2010. I’ll concede, however, that it’s neither productive nor healthy to operate in the political realm as if that’s the case. I view Donald Trump as much more a symptom than a cause. I don’t see why population size is even relevant to the question of how a society will respond under social democratic policies. You simply scale up or down all of the nationalized goods and services, depending on the market demand. The far more relevant metric to any proposed Nordic model is probably consumption as a percentage of national GDP. The U.S. economy tends to hover around 70% for private household expenditures, which helps make it a very strong candidate for far-left economic policies. Getting back to the Bolivia topic, since it’s a super interesting one…their country’s current political turmoil has practically nothing to do with the eternal philosophical debate of capitalism vs. socialism. Let’s all think about why Evo Morales and MAS (Movimiento al Socialismo) failed: 1. Widespread government corruption: not unique to socialists. Why did the far-left rise to power there in the first place?? 2. Internal strife among political factions of MAS: same argument as above. 3. Dangers of having an unbalanced national economy: EASILY the most important reason for the Bolivian far-left’s demise. Their country has long been way too dependent on the influx of U.S. dollars from raw material exports. So when extraction production declines and international market prices also drop on these exported goods, combined with general international inflation on most others goods and services, the entire national economy will inevitably tank. But again…what did the non-socialists do to help diversify the economy while they were previously in power?? 4. Various environmental crises that have harmed Bolivia’s economy: poor sustainability practices (related to point # 3), pollution, and civil infrastructure/agriculture damage from a rapidly changing climate. The Bolivian government actually has really good environmental regulations under MAS, but their government is too corrupt and ineffective to enforce them. But yet again…what makes anyone think right-wingers will be better on these issues?? Historically, they are most certainly not! It does look like Bolivia is heading in Argentina’s direction of painful austerity measures, so we’ll see how long that goes until its citizens cycle back to the left. Bolivia’s best economic hope lies with their immense lithium resources, but I have my usual doubts that far-right Bolivian capitalists can impel their nation to efficient lithium extraction without horribly exploiting labor, the land, and indigenous communities. Then again, yes I do understand that the far-left had their share of opportunities to deliver and did not. Such is politics.

Is anyone really traveling frivolously by air, aside from uber-wealthy jet-setters? You seem to be taking up the arguments now of granola Luddites! I will reiterate that making eco-friendly choices in your personal life is to always be encouraged, but these choices are rendered meaningless if not coupled with any political awareness at all four levels: local, state, national, and international. Stop voting for politicians who deny the obvious science of anthropogenic climate change, who dismantle environmental regulations, and who impede the growth of relevant emergent technologies (solar and other green tech, EV’s, artificial carbon sequestration, high-speed rails and other civil infrastructure upgrades, Gen 3/4 nuclear fission reactors, novel materials, funding for fundamental science research, etc.). I’ll give you a practical example of what I mean by “political awareness.” It’s super commendable that you are planting trees on your property, but it would be far more impactful if you were also directly involved in community reforestation efforts! Here in the beautiful state of New York, we are trying to meet our climate goals by planting 1.7 million acres of new forests by 2040. It’s ambitious and will require some degree of bipartisanship to have our state government purchase old farmland and curb excessive suburban sprawl. Won’t you help us downstate hippies out, dear Leh-nerd?? << Kay Adams innocent doe eyes >> Speaking of prominent and manipulative eyes…I see the emoji with which you chose to end your post, Leh-nerd… First of all, no I do not have a “dismemberment fetish.” It’s strictly a matter of pragmatism. How else am I to transport the absurdly heavy body of an adult male omnivore with a BMI of 24.8?? You even serial kill, bruh?? Second of all, how dare you kink shame! Third of all, your emoji eyes seem to be rudely fixed in an upward direction. Here, let me adjust them… << punches Leh-nerd in the face >> That better? No? Here, let me try again… << punches Leh-nerd in the face >> Ugh. Now I feel bad for assaulting you. Hey, how dare you make me feel bad about myself! << punches Leh-nerd in the face >> Double ugh. Perhaps we should just hit the reset button on our forum friendship? I’d love to have you for din…er, have you over for dinner sometime. If you bring with you a nice bottle of Chianti, I can make a delicious fava bean-themed vegan dish and invite some of my great big fat people friends. << menacing/chilling Howard Shore musical outro >>

All of the granola types whom I know are well aware of the impact that airplane travel has on carbon emissions. Some aspects of modern life are simply unavoidable, no matter one’s commitment to green living. If you look at carbon emissions pie charts, you’ll quickly see that transportation represents a fairly small portion. You’ll also likely surmise that direct government regulations on various industries are far more impactful than the collective individual lifestyle choices among consumers. An intrinsic value of recycling comes from its positive impact on environmental conservation, even if you’re not all that impressed with its contribution to overall carbon emissions reductions. Lesser demand for new resource extractions lessens the pressure on ecosystem integrity. Dogs are wonderful human companions. Let’s keep our furry friends and offset their carbon “pawprint” by planting more trees. A deletion in greenhouse gas emissions, sure, but what about the “paw-icity” of LOVE in our hearts?? Surely you noticed the article’s references to eating meat, right?? I’ve been telling you this for five years, Leh-nerd… What’s so frustrating with you are the fatalistic intimations in all of your climate change posts: problems are hard so why bother, people are hypocritical so why should I myself try, blah blah blah… “Menacing.” “Chilling.” “Watch your back.” “L.” “O.” “L.” Sometimes you can be such a baby, Leh-nerd. It’s time for you to become an adult and start accepting responsibility for my literary bouts of Lizzie Borden rage. Causal to my macabre idioms and nursery rhymes was a perfectly valid primal response towards the transgression of justifying/denying an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing. FURTHERMORE, Leh-nerd…YOU chose to give my thoughtful post an eyeroll emoji response SANS any sort of follow-up written explanation. How dare you. Oh, and I didn’t even literarily assault you with an axe, dude!! All I did was spray bear mace in your rolling eyes, if you recall. Now have I figuratively punched you in the face from time to time? Sure. Figuratively kicked you in your groin? No doubt. Did I figuratively shoot you with a crossbow once upon a time? Touche! Recommended your cannibalization to a marauding gang of ne’er-do-wells? Guilty as charged. Threatened to attack you with beach chairs? Perhaps. Threatened to drown you in Muppy’s San Diego pool? No comment. Threatened to shove Impossible Burgers down your throat until your digestive system exploded? I plead the Fifth, your honor. Stabbed you repeatedly with the heels of my Portuguese imported cruelty-free vegan shoes that you once insulted, while maniacally shouting, “I drink YOUR milkshake, Leh-nerd! I drink it up! I am the Third Revelation!,” followed by a frantic disembowelment, the cutting up of your body parts, the stuffing of said body parts in a storage bin, a multiple-hour drive up north to the Adirondacks, a makeshift burial about a quarter mile off-trail, a multiple-hour drive back with plenty of time to contemplate a plausible alibi, and a brief return to the crime scene to bleach the area of any remaining DNA evidence? That was just a daydream, Leh-nerd, and last I checked this ain’t no Minority Report dystopia. This is the Politics, Polls, and Pundits forum of Two Bills Drive. That’s all it is. Anywho…my point, to which you are now well-accustomed, is to go vegan because it’s good for the environment and for the animals. Doing so will also help you become less fat and smelly. Cheers! – Kay

“Leh-nerd Skin-erd now enters the fray In a futile attempt to pacify Kay… My delicate ego you may try to assuage, But I saw your response on a previous thread page!! Duly noted were your emoji rolling eyes Which will soon lead to a fate of agonal cries. Dude…it happened back on page eleven!! Now prepare to ascend to political forum heaven… My toned tummy, Leh-nerd, yes yes I can see… Oh, I know my BMI is an impressive nineteen point three. Okay, fine…I won’t take this axe to your face, But them rolling eyes are getting sprayed with bear mace.”

What the f*ck did I just say??!! STOP. RESPONDING. TO. MY. POSTS. COMMA. YOU. FU*CKING. A**HOLE. I ain’t comin’ here to bury no metaphorical hatchet, “BUD,” unless that metaphorical hatchet is going right into your stupid dumb-dumb head. Oh, won’t you try to sing along with me, Mr. Bundy, as you struggle to take in your final gasps of oxygen?? “Commie Kay grabbed her axe And gave some Zionist forty whacks. A new skin yarmulke Mr. Bundy had won. Bloody residue signified their debate was done.” You want a piece of me too, old man?? Let’s go, bruh… “Commie Kay grabbed that axe once more And towards JDHillFan she shouted “fore!” An enlarged prostate is now the least of his concerns, As his wizened carcass reflects his debate spurns.” You want to see a winning debate strategy?? Watch this… “Comme Kay spots a third MAGA d!ck And chases ScotSHO down with her axe-shaped stick. Through his neck passes the metal blade. Her political message is now properly conveyed.”

Don’t call me a “bud,” you f*cking piece of sh!t. I cite polling facts, while you cite your Islamophobic feelings. Israel’s “earned” right to be there equates to violent force and claims from a big book of ancient religious fairy tales. And yes, I do blame England in addition to the United States and much of the West. Now stop responding to my posts, you fu*cking a**hole.

I thought my previous post was clear enough in my intention not to hijack the Ukraine thread with Palestine talk, but whatever… “Genocide” is a legal term, under international law, with a clearly articulated definition. Dating back to the New Yishuv, Palestinians have never committed genocide against Israelis or Jews. Acts of terrorism? Sure, though these have been carried out under the guise of self-defense against an illegal occupying force. Would Palestinians commit genocide against Israeli Jews if the circumstances and the power asymmetry were reversed? Maybe. Maybe not. We have polling data since 10/7/23 showing Palestinians far more receptive to a peaceful two-state solution than Israelis. There was that recent Penn State University poll, in fact, showing an overwhelming majority (82%) of Israelis in favor of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and nearly a majority (47%) in favor of outright genocide! I cannot be any more clear: Israel is an illegitimate settler colonial vassal state led by innately degenerate sociopaths, and it needs to be systematically dismantled. Among the remnants of this Jewish supremacist ethnostate should emerge a one-state solution with full and equal rights for all inhabitants, regardless of religion or ethnicity.

Oh, well I’m definitely a pragmatist and not an idealist. But perhaps I don’t fully understand the facets of this topic because I don’t understand why certain bargaining chips have been removed from the bargaining table. We need to find diplomatic off-ramps for both Putin and Zelenskyy, and so the more options the merrier. Why are war reparations off the table? How is Ukraine otherwise going to rebuild? A failed economic and political state over there would only be a breeding ground for additional international headaches. Why is NATO membership off the table? Finland and Sweden were allowed to join. We’re still going to agree to defend Ukraine in some way, anyway, after the war. It’s not like we have to position our nuclear missiles along Ukraine’s borders if they are allowed to join. Have we completely exhausted our options with multilateral economic sanctions on Russia?? I’ve addressed this question multiple times in multiple different ways, spanning multiple threads and multiple forums (here plus BillsFans.com). Anyone who justifies or still denies Israel’s apartheid ethnostate practices, war crimes of collective punishment, genocide in Gaza, and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is a garbage human being.

Good advice! I highly recommend salsa for beginning dancers. It’s a solid workout for sure, with a pretty gentle learning curve (relative to ballet and many forms of modern dance, at least). The vast majority of women will appreciate a guy’s sincere efforts and won’t care about his dancing skills. In general, I recommend meeting people in the real world and not online if one is seeking meaningful relationships and not hookups. Getting back to the topic…inter-generational analyses tend to become reductive and tedious. In this particular instance, I think such an argument is flat out wrong. The squabbles here align more with populist versus establishment political divisions. And just to be clear: the topic is housing costs, the broader problem of high costs of living, and the related problem of declining marriage rates. Those who identify more with centrist Democrats or non-MAGA Republicans will tend to reject victim-oppressor dynamics in favor of the classical “pick-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps” mantra. Progressive populists will CORRECTLY attribute the aforementioned problems to five decades of neoliberalism, which happen to disproportionately affect working-class men (see: all my posts in the Zohran Mamdani thread). MAGA populists have apparently articulated their own list of causes (Democratic Party, COVID policies, illegal immigrants, slutty yuppy women, discrimination against white males, LGBT rights, etc.) with simple solutions (support Trump, embrace Christian nationalism, blah blah blah). Curiously enough, MAGA populists can cede some of the debate to the bootstrap lifters but still won’t embrace personal responsibility when it comes to males performing terribly in academic settings…or to all the f*ck boys and incels failing at relationships, for that matter… In the spirit of this apparent Wolfgang troll, here’s a YouTube link:

Switzerland also has gun control laws that most Second Amendment enthusiasts would find onerous, if not downright tyrannical. A multitude of factors (culture, socioeconomic mobility, accessibility of mental health resources, etc.) beyond gun regulations and police force budgets, of course, explain why violent crime levels are much lower in Europe than in the United States. Rhetorical question for MAGA: if the presence of military forces is so effective at reducing crime, why haven’t previous American presidents tried this ingenious method of combating crime?? Rhetorical answer: because the history books are filled with lessons on the dangers of allowing standing armies to preside in urban civilian settings. Much of our U.S. Bill of Rights was inspired by these historical lessons! Foucault’s imperial boomerang theory, as applied to WW2 fascism and apropos to Trump Redux, only reinforces these lessons that our Founding Fathers understood well in 1789. What I actually find most alarming among MAGA, more so than their cultish disregard for Constitutional principles, is their emergent dehumanizing language toward homeless people. Low empathy and low intelligence are dual dangerous ingredients used in the concoction of creeping fascism. So wakey-wakey, MAGA a-hole dullards!! If you normalize authoritarian tactics, that tyrannical boomerang is coming back your way. Oh, Empress AOC will make sure of it…

If Putin gets to keep Crimea and the Donbas region, then NATO+EU membership and full war reparations should be Ukraine’s BARE MINIMUM expected return! If Trump is worth his alleged “art of the deal” reputation, then he should also be able to negotiate for substantial Russian territory and/or natural resources awarded to Ukraine. What’s obviously complicating these negotiations is the fact that Russia has been so surprisingly good at shielding themselves from international economic blowback, particularly with regard to energy resources. I’ll also remind everyone that Trump and the United States hold no higher ethical ground over Putin with regard to border integrity and international human rights. Our funding of the Gaza genocide and Likud’s Greater Israel project has consequences, with compromised diplomacy being an acutely stark example.

Leh-nerd: “Maybe the storm is coming, I guess we’ll see.” Kay: “Maybe. If Trump ends up going full TACO Tariff Mode, then the storm won’t come. Otherwise, I anticipate a Q3 trickle, a Q4 storm, and a 2026 Q1 deluge.” Leh-nerd: “At your age, 40ish as I recall…” Kay: “WRONG. Late 20’s AND I’m regularly told that I look early 20’s. How dare you.” Leh-nerd: “…and less chit-chat about reality tv with the other gals at the gym.” Kay: “WRONG. I don’t watch reality television, I don’t converse with others when I work out, and I rarely use the gym. My core workouts are done at home and during weekly yoga sessions. Cardio workouts are in the form of jogging and biking, about 2-3 times per week.” Leh-nerd: “I’m guessing of course but I’m usually correct.” Kay: “WRONG. You are almost always incorrect (a.k.a. WRONG) about everything. Don’t even get me started on all of our past PPP discussions, Leh-nerd…anthropogenic climate change, Israel, progressive income tax policies, Nazi socialism, French abortions, eastern Ohio train derailments, Marx’s Labor Theory of Value, MAGA whataboutisms, ethical veganism, chic cosmopolitan hippy fashion aesthetics, etc… Your PPP posting resume is a multitude of abject FAILURE.” Leh-nerd: “…I gotta cut back on the sweets.” Kay: “WRONG. Your body is sloppy, sad, disappointing, gross, downright frightening to any neighborhood children, and overall visually affronting to all those who care about you because you obstinately consume meat and dairy.” Leh-nerd: “Be careful on the rocks.” Kay: “WRONG. Your perfunctory and borderline insincere words of caution have been deemed too trite to be of any practical use to La Commie Kay. My indomitable core muscles will keep me plenty safe on the rocks. YOU need to be careful in this forum, Leh-nerd. You think these hands of mine are only used for typing overly verbose political manifestos, bruh?? WRONG. They are also used for PUNCHING. You think red is my favorite color because of its far-left political connotations?? WRONG. Red is the pretty color of the juices that my political enemies squirt when this sassy Slavic PUNCHES them, upon which the crimson emissions excite Li’l Miss Adams like a shark churning the tempestuous waters of a certain San Diego pool. Catch ya a La Fiesta de Los “Skimpy Bikinis” durante el verano en la piscina a La Casa Muppetta, Leh-ny boy. And bring an extra pair or two of arm floaties for the deep end. Methinks you’ll need ‘em…” << ominous John Williams musical outro >>
