    yes, it's me who is unhinged.  WW3 could start tomorrow.  There's a fascist clown up for speaker and an indicted felon is even in the polls....Potrugal.  I told my sister we we're going there for Christmas and said I'm gonna try surfing again.  never really got it.  She said "How many sixty somethings do you know that surf"?  I said "none".  Good to be a bit of an outlier.

    Yes, it's still you. And if you are going to try surfing, try taking a lesson, it helps.  2 lessons helps a lot. 

    Oh, and stay the hell out of Potrugal, that place is a dump!

    Yeah, I was paying attention because it interested me.  During his 4 years in Buffalo, it was like Daboll went to Charm School.  You could see it in his pressers. 

     

    2018 and early 2019, he was curt and veered close to throwing players under the bus (Beasley deflected catch that went for a pick-6: "maybe the throw is a little low, you still have to catch it"). 

     

    By the time he left, he was relaxed, he acted as though he were personally concerned about each reporter's health, he was gracious, he seemed fun.

     

    I can't say it was McDermott, but someone during Daboll's time in Buffalo re-cast him.  Dick Vermeil used to send his coaching assistants to Dale Carnegie, wouldn't surprise me if McDermott did something similar. 

     

    Daboll came to Buffalo with a reputation for screaming and yelling at his players.  In particular, he was reported to be ridiculously brutal to Colt McCoy:

    Josh Allen tells a story his rookie year about going off-script and having Daboll just launch into him, screaming at him through the helmet radio, then calming down on the sideline, then thinking about it and coming back to scream at him some more.  He was seen screaming at Josh in 2019 during the NE game, at the same time that there were complaints about delays getting plays called.

     

    After that, Daboll went up to the booth and he never game down.

     

    I agree with you, not just sports but any venue, screaming and yelling at someone in public does not help performance

     

    I think McDermott is probably very intense, and a player knows when he's "on the carpet" but he doesn't need to scream in public to convey that impression.

    I am sure he took some executive coaching at some point when he realized he was a head coaching candidate. Outside of being good at your job, it's probably the best way to move ahead in management.  And some people who even suck at their job get promoted on "executive presence".

    Less sense that telling someone on a message board to not complain about something the GOP does because it gives them a butt hurt? 

     

    Nest time I write something about about Republicans, here, use this:

    There is plenty to complain about Republicans without making up false emergencies. My suggestion is to use this balm on yourself to prevent chafing.

    3,000? Does that not indicate that the sadistic murderers were a minority of the attackers? 

     

     

    I'm being partisan? How about the morons that won't confirm an ambassador? Tells me GOP is just getting started with f'n up our governmnet 

    They are being partisan too, Tibs.  We should try not to use politicians as a bellwether for how to act, it's beneath us.

    Biden knows Americans are held hostage in Gaza and the GOP can't even lift a finger to at least get an ambassador there? Wow

    Tibs, this is just silly partisanship, and I've told you a few times.  Our embassy is fully up and running, and Stephanie Hallett, a very experienced diplomat, is the current Chargé d'Affaires.  If you want to read her bio, see here:

    As for what Biden can do, the War Powers Act theoretically limits his options, but most presidents since it's inception have found ways to easily work around it. Learn more about it below.

    My comment was not being able to counter anything Bill said then calling him an idiot.   I care nothing about name calling in itself. 

     

    Happens a lot when you righties reply to him.  You can't refute/deny/counter his post so ya'll just say something lame...like calling him an idiot.  

    Whatever you need to tell yourself to not be the bad guy, Ron.  You do you.

    Because your savior, King Conald, is going to win the GQP Presidential nomination and I'm not going to sit idly by watching MAGA whitewash and destroy our country.

     

    You should consider joining DR's safe place - they cater specifically to people like you.

     

    Enjoy.

     

     

    I like to hear other points of view, why would I leave?  And when did I ever declare Trump my savior?  As a person, he is a POS, which I have been pretty clear about.

     

    What concerns me most here is what are you going to do if Trump gets re-elected?

    Differing opinions? I'm just serving a reminder to everyone who wants to whitewash and sweep this under the rug.

    Yes, we heard it 28k posts ago.  Why not make Wednesday your "everyone that doesn't act exactly like me is a 'racist lying idiotic traitor' day", and enjoy the other 6?

    Here we go again - offering unsolicited advice when you would never offer such advice to your cult mates.

     

    Please block me If my comments make you so uncomfortable.

     

    Thanks 

     

     

    If any of the people on this board on my side of the political aisle were in your shoes I would gladly offer that advise.  You are locked in some kind of a run where all you can see is hate for different opinions.   At least talk to someone about how you feel, what could it hurt.

    You are absolutely 100% correct. I absolutely hate and abhor the likes of Karen, Bonnie and Chris who piss all over our flag, our veterans, our future and our republic supporting a traitor like this:

    And I offer no apology for it - not one bit.

     

     

     

    Well, you are nothing if not consistent, but it's not a healthy way to live your life.  You should really talk to someone, there are a lot of good resources, especially since COVID.
