I would take a beating from her

so looks like we are pretty much in agreement here..except the China part. That dude in China donts gots to worried bout the election cycle coming up..Trump does. I believe their hand, if not stronger, is certainly equal to Trump's. As you mention, that is just not a situation that screams "Trump's Wheelhouse" I think he caves first. Again, he and his supporters will claim it as a win, , but I don't see a win there..and as the wall fiasco has shown he quite possibly will leave a much better deal on the table in order to get 100% of what he wants and end up getting much less. Climate change? My beef with Trump is strong, but just one example is him trying to force through laws that coal-fired energy cannot close or be shut down..are kidding me? And this is a conservative? When it is more efficient and cost-effective to use Natural Gas or other alternatives, than who in the hell is the government to step in and ..what is the phrase" pick winners"?

First, think it important to know it may seem I am liberal/democrat, nothing could be further from the truth. Most of my positions I would think are conservative, maybe outside of my opposition to the death penalty and putting stronger limitations in place on assault weapons. Having said that, i freely admit to being ardent anti- Trumper I did not mean to imply at all that Trump is any way responsible for America losing its moral fiber, but instead his actions, words, and past behavior prevent America from leading form a moral high ground. Whether America has lost its lost its moral fiber is a whole other topic. Second, I agree now and screamed from the mountaintop in 16 that Trump was striking a chord with people and had a real shot to win. And yes, I think a portion of that was the press, but a much greater portion was the folks getting left behind in the skills economy wanted someone to blame besides themselves, and Trump skillfully did that and presented enemies in the form immigrants and elite democrats..smart, smart tactic! Where you lost me is the veer off to religion and socialism liberalism. You say they blame religion, which I don't agree with but let's say that is so. I will then say step 1 in Autocrats and Dictator playbook is to call the press the "enemy of the people", scream fake news every time they say something negative , and as noted above make a class of people the enemy and the reason for your plight in life, it is certainly not your fault!!!!... Trump to a tee!! I hope you have noticed through my posts I have little sympathy for people who choose to not improve their lives, or get slighted by things and blame other people for their woes. Conservatives are doing this now..they have always complained about the press being too liberal, at least back 80 years, just didnt whine so much....today is same as it ever was..but now we have a bellyacher in chief who has made whining part of the conservative lexicon.

Not a National chain per se...But damn had some Penn Station East Coast Subs fries again today...by far the best out there. They have the best sub too, by a freaking mile. Overall the best fast food one can find

Okay, just to clarify...can we all agree I was right to scream "Fire Housley" 40 minutes into the season????? This after the second period of Game 1 on October 4th

Thought I posted this yesterday, but if that is the first weekends on the Tourney, I have heard it is crazy and every book is packed from first to last games. Think a lot of guys do boys trips/bachelor parties that weekend..so if ya looking to get lucky with some drunk dudes should be a good time to be there! I might do a quick google search best book in vegas to watch NCAA BB Trny

they were done at Christmas, now they are burnt beyond recognition. I am absolutely hate watching now..seeing how far and how bad they can get before something, anything, is done

from what I found online, the renovations took place over 30 months or so, Packers played two home seasons in Lambeau as construction was taking place with minimal impacts. Hmm, interesting. That being said, have no clue if that could happen in Orchard Park. Lambeau is one huge bowl with the concourse at the top of the bowl And that is where the real renovation took place. They did not have to deal with a lower bowl and upper deck. Suites etc were built were there were none before, on top of the existing bowl or in the end zones. KC was able to stay put also, but not the Bears who played at least one at the University of Illinois stadium.

in essence, said a coach needs to be direct and straightforward with players when they are screwing up, not all positive and sugarcoating things as it seems Housley does. I took as it as implying Housley is being a "players coach" , is soft with his players, and it is reflected on the ice. In Housley defense, PHam consistently says Housley is one demeanor in front of the cameras and press, and another when the cameras and press go away.

hey there, thats like insulting my Mom's looks....fightin words! I think they played in Lambeau..i dont think they played at Madison or County Stadium in Milwaukee..( is that place still even there?)

So smart guys , help the dumb guys like me out. Can Casey and Pilut gondown to the Amerks ? Who else is eligible to go down?

not sure what you are saying?

Marty smashing Housley post game...you lose Marty..a Sabre employee...put the poor dude out of his misery. Housley is becoming sympathetic figure now, I actually feel sorry for him

sooo, is this the straw? Do they ride it out with Housley? Can one honestly think they respond to Housley next year after quitting on him????? Has that ever happened? getting outclassed 3 games in a row to teams that one might say are trying to lose...and I am supposed to believe this is progress? Just me, or does anyone think Housley has quit on the team? I think he is fed up, and wants a mercy killing

Rap Music and Youtube, not the POTUS would sure hope we hold POTUS to a higher standard than Biggie. And I don't think there is anty debate Kendrick Lamar has more integrity and honesty in his big toe than Trump has in his whole body

***** rule, right call

I guess this is the major disconnect between so many of us...I don't think it a bad team....i think its an awful coach

That truly me LOL..thank you, needed that after watching Sabres first period!!!! not its innocence, it's moral compass

dude, i fast forwarded the first period outside the power plays. For whatever reason DVR recorded the Panthers broadcast. Even their PBP guy said Sabres looked disinterested, and the Panthers wanted the puck way more than the Sabres. Housley is a dead man walking, why prolong his agony? The team has quit on him, what more of indictment do you need? As I say this, they open the 2nd strong, lets see what happens

Neighborhood dogs were the best. Trying telling a 35 something or under dogs ran free in the neighborhood , everyone knew them, no one cared they would explore their yards and maybe make a depoosit.? and they think you are telling a fib just to see if they would believe such nonsense.

Okay, 2nd try LOL, truncated form While I do believe the economy is in good shape and growing, albeit at the same pace it was pre-Trump, he got his 2 quarter bump by juicing the economy with that assinine tax cut. Believe me, the demand for skilled workers has been outpacing supply since at least 2010. Trump and his cut gave a lift to unskilled workers, but its a lift that to me is not sustainable, and that will get even worse when the deleterious effects of his trade policies really start to hit home in 2020 and beyond. I know this sounds callous, but if you were not working and enjoying the growth in the economy in 2010-2018 , its cause you were unskilled and/or uneducated. Your fault in other words, not the government or the economy. Conservatives have railed for years the Dems were "Tax and Spend" ..well, so far he has the spend part down pat, be nice if he had the revenues to cover his spending habits. We should be reducing deficits if the economy so good, they are growing at alarming rates. As mentioned above, I do not think his trade policies will pan out, and I think he will get out-negotiated by folks much smarter and more patient than him. Trade policies hit his base the hardest, he will cave on demands, declare victory none the less, and leave us in worse shape than before all IMHO. His strategy of being adversarial to get what he wants works when he is trying to get a vendor to agree to better terms, I don't believe it works in foreign policy. I applaud his efforts to get all of NATO to pay their fair share..long overdue. But for the rest of our allies to now view us as, at best , of being neither friend nor foe is disturbing. I do like he wants us out of never-ending wars..I applaud that..but acknowledge the middle east stuff confuses me. I like reading what @Deranged Rhino posts, and I trust his takes on many views on the events in that region( i know @DC Tom , I am an idiot for saying that) His insistence that climate change is not real is just fanciful to me . One can argue causes certainly, but one cannot argue empirical evidence the climate is changing. Having said, I agree with many of his initiatives on business deregulation, just not all, especially when it comes to many environmental regulations. Relaxing regulations so a dying industry like coal can have another decade is just folly to me.. Stop corporate welfare and let the freaking industry die as it should. You want to be compassionate to coal miners??? have them trained with new skills. They don't want new skills? Fug em. And maybe I have missed something, but I don't remember seeing anything from this administration that fundamentally addresses the massive issue we have with entitlements right now. And that flat out sucks. And at the heart of it all, I think Trump has ripped out the heart and soul of America. There have always been differences..Liberal, Conservative etc..always will be. But I feel his rhetoric, his use of the language as mentioned above..his incessant mistruths and lies have sapped the ability for us as a country to have any kind of common goals or aspirations. We see it on this very board, where we attack the person instead of attack and debate the idea and position. .I believe he has sapped the ability for America to lead on a global stage from a position of moral strength, and that discourages the hell out of me. To bring it full circle to the point of this thread, I think the liberal press reacts more to his demeanor and his moral compass than they do to his policy decisions. That's on him, and tthe press Act like a Buffon, insult people, call them names..they gonna fight back. He uses the bully pulpit of the Presidency, they use their power of audience. I guess bthe est way to sum it up is I believe Trump has done many good things, many i don't agree with as well, as it has been with evry president to me since Reagan. But the ends do not always justify the means ...and his means ..aye yi yi!!!!

You know who does not play outside in neighborhoods anymore?? dogs My neighborhood in the 70's, people, including us, just let their dogs out to roam all day as long as they were friendly. Always seemed to be two or three dogs about while we were either playing football, or street hockey etc. Our perfect idea was to train one to chase and retrieve the ball when it went wide and down the street...but that never happened. Miss random dogs just coming up and making friends or just walking about

WTF, anyone else disturbed at this Okposo news? Ya put the dude in two flights with a freaking concussion? How do you miss that as a Doctor. Even the Sabres doctoring skills suck.

*****, i just had a lengthy reply and it went bye-bye when i hit the return key twice. Will redo after next meeting. Did not want you to think i was ignoring the question. BTW, does that happen to other people as well?

see, I am fine arguing results, that makes sense to me and is an argument we can have( btw, I think his results suck, but that another argument)... I am all for that. You have your views, I have mine..lets debate! As @JohnC and i do in the Sabres thread. We could not be more diametrically opposed, but neither of us has called each other an idiot or called each other stupid etc ...we are arguing things as we see them. I mean he is wrong, but I love to hear his side!
