Socialism's effect is slow, like the boiling frog syndrome. Its speed is much slower than an electoral cycle, which gives the populist politicians cover until they hit the oh ***** moment. Will be interesting to see when that point will arrive in CA.

In reading up the application of treason under US laws it appears that it's exclusively applied during actual wars. So to apply treason in this case, you would need to make a case that US is in a war with Australia, Italy, UK along with Russia. I don't think anybody wants to go down that road, when there are plenty of other charges that can be levied.

Unless they're the kind of parents who pimp out their kids for money and fame. -
You're using a warning signs of one particular bank with loose credit standards as a harbinger for the economy? That piece was about Santander, not auto loans in general. BTW, the warning was sounded by one of the rating agencies. So which is it, are they conflicted or are they warning the market about Santander's issues? FWIW, none of the data that I've seen supports signs of troubles in any segment of the credit markets.

Run Defense - Interesting Stats/Observations
GG replied to mjt328's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The back breaking TD drive to go up 24-13 featured Eagles longest pass 38 yards, followed by two short passes (after a sack) for 18 yards to get to Bills 19. So that's 4 straight passing plays to drive down the field. The run was featured in their game capping drive. -

Woody clearly has both feet on one side of that particular border. There’s little borderline about his behavior. -

Even back in the day, dating a 17 year old when you were past sophomore age in college deemed you a borderline loser. Dating a 17 year old when you’re a 38-yr old major star makes you a borderline pedophile, despite the legal age of consent. -

By that standard you’d be ok with a 29 year old hooking up with a 12 year old? Not surprised. -
Run Defense - Interesting Stats/Observations
GG replied to mjt328's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was brought up in other threads, that upon further review, the Eagles really beat the Bills with the short passing game more than the run. You’re right that the runs in question occurred when the game was essentially over. The Eagles completely dictated the tone all game long. It just took them to the second half to fully execute. -
Note that you are asking me to violate copyright, here you go Sue Hot Take Monday: Miles Sanders’ 65-yard touchdown run should be enough to signal the grand problem with the Bills defense. Since they lost Harrison Phillips to a season-ending injury, things have not been the same for the Bills. Phillips had been playing at an extremely high level and took the pressure off the underperforming Star Lotulelei. In those three weeks, Lotulelei had been the starter in title only. Phillips was the far superior performer and wound up getting more time on the field than Lotulelei. Since Phillips’ injury, the Bills have cobbled together their defensive line combinations trying to find a spark. Sometimes it works, but it’s been fleeting. The problem begins right up the middle with Lotulelei and backup Kyle Peko. The primary responsibility of a one-technique defensive tackle, as a bigger-bodied player, is to occupy blockers when facing double teams. If he’s in a one-on-one matchup, he needs to prioritize holding his ground and beating the block. Lotulelei and Peko have not been good enough in these essential facets of the position. Lotulelei’s issue is with moving laterally. When a team gets him moving, he has a more difficult time keeping his assignment at the line of scrimmage and he isn’t winning his one-on-one matchups. It puts more of a stress on the linebackers to bail him out, and if they’re unable, runs such as Sanders’ 65-yarder can happen. They ran that play right at Lotulelei’s gap, and the Eagles quickly brushed him aside. While he should remain a role player, they need to lighten his load — and they can’t do so with Peko as his backup. Peko is a smaller player who has a difficult time holding up at the point of attack. Backtrack Tuesday I’ll be the first one to admit it. After watching the Eagles break off some significant gains in the ground game — including the 65-yard Miles Sanders touchdown run — my inclination was that one-technique defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was struggling. Lotulelei could have done more on that play, but it wasn’t entirely his fault the Eagles busted loose for the biggest play of the game. Weakside linebacker Matt Milano needed to siphon the runner to the hard-charging Micah Hyde on the outside. Instead, Milano froze and provided a big running lane right up the middle, which effectively canceled out his supporting tackler, Hyde. It’s that type of play that shapes a game, and sometimes shapes our thoughts of the game. That’s the beautiful part about reviewing the film, to see where you erred on Sunday — and I whiffed on Lotulelei, though I don’t think I’m alone.
