The Bills have scored 41, 30, 31 and 31 points. Josh is having another MVP-caliber season. I think the passing game looks great.

Manning in the 4th Round? 🙂

This crew instinctively booked their tickets to the Carolina game.

Understandably, Daboll may not cut it as a Head Coach, but I'm more surprised that Joe Schoen has constructed such an awful roster. He's had enough high picks to hit on a few players, but the whole plan is a mess. They got saddled with Daniel Jones and his contract, but Jones has demonstrated that perhaps he wasn't the problem after all.

More like two quarters. The opening game, the Ravens were shellacking the Bills with Peterman's 0.0 QB rating. Allen came in and never relinquished the starting job. Peterman might be the worst QB ever to start a Bills game. And that is saying a lot.

Bills benefit either way. I like the idea of the Chiefs winning because I don't want the Ravens to win their division and potentially have a slightly easier schedule. Meanwhile, the Chargers would already have a 2.5-game lead on the Chiefs, who still have to face the Bills, Broncos twice, and the Chargers. However, there are plausible scenarios that each team will make the playoffs and possibly win their division.

Like clockwork. MAGA will endorse anything Trump does, no matter how ludicrous. If a Democrat did it Fox News and Fox Business would scream 24 hours a day and MAGA would scream right along.

President Trump is imposing a $100,000 fee to obtain an H‑1B visa, the primary visa for skilled foreign workers. To be clear, this $100,000 fee is in addition to the salary, lawyer fees, and other costs of hiring an H‑1B worker. This fee would effectively end the H‑1B visa category by making it prohibitive for most businesses to hire H‑1B workers. This would force leading technology companies out of the United States, reduce demand for US workers, reduce innovation, have severe second-order economic effects, and lower the supply of goods and services in everything from IT and education to manufacturing and medicine. President Trump also banned new H‑1B workers in a similar presidential proclamation in June 2020, claiming that they hurt US workers during the pandemic-induced economic crisis. Fortunately, a court found in October 2020 that the action was illegal, and the statutory authority did not exist for the president to rewrite US immigration law to micromanage the US labor market. This helped businesses retain jobs during the pandemic as IT workers aided the shift to remote work. Adjusting the H‑1B visa fee, which is established by regulation, would require a notice and comment rulemaking, not a presidential proclamation. Even so, except for specific statutory fees, the only basis for the government to issue fees is to recover costs of adjudicating applications. Trump’s $100,000 fee has no statutory basis for fees. Given the vague authorities in immigration law, however, there is some reason for concern that the courts would uphold this action. The president is also planning to mandate an increase in the prevailing wage, or mandatory minimum wage, for H‑1B workers, which is another action that his administration attempted in 2020. In that case, the Department of Labor did attempt to issue a formal regulation for this in 2020. That rule contained many factual and legal errors that I identified at the time, and was also blocked for failing to abide by the Administrative Procedure Act (as this current presidential proclamation is also failing to do). It was ultimately not implemented. Illegally distorting the prevailing wage would prevent even the most highly skilled H‑1B workers from being hired. That’s because the prevailing wage has four different levels depending on experience, skill, and management responsibilities for the job. The rule would have raised the wage so high that even senior managers with years of experience would have been priced out. President Trump’s reported plan to undermine the H‑1B visa is at odds with his remarks during the intra-conservative debate over the visa in December 2020, when he said, “I’ve always liked the visas. I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them. I’ve been a believer in H‑1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.” Perhaps someone should remind the president of his words on this and other immigration issues.

Just trying to be helpful. Here another that show that Trump will let Putin do whatever he wants: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-20/putin-decides-russia-can-step-up-ukraine-attacks-and-trump-won-t-act?embedded-checkout=true

Chris Christie, the erstwhile Trump ally and former governor who once served as U.S. attorney in New Jersey, said that decisions about criminal prosecutions should be made by people with the requisite résumé and training, and that Mr. Trump was “clearly not qualified” to make such decisions “in either respect.” “When the decisions are made by someone who has neither the education nor the experience to make those decisions, people immediately jump to the conclusion that they’re being made for reasons that have nothing to do with the law,” Mr. Christie said in a brief interview. “And that’s the type of slippery slope that we cannot have our criminal justice system go down.”

Here is how we know which side US President Donald Trump in on: - Trump says so, praising Putin for being a genius invading Ukraine. - Trump has not imposed any sanctions on Russia since January. - Trump is not enforcing the previous sanctions on Russia. - Trump votes with Putin and a dozen rogue states in UN. - Trump has stopped all US financial and military aid to Ukraine, even though Ukraine enjoys broad popular support also in GOP. - Trump absurdly and falsely claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky started the war, when in fact Putin did. Trump has not imposed any conditions on Russia for ceasefire. - Instead, Trump has imposed conditions on Ukraine, the victim. - By ending the sanctions on Belarusian airline Belavia (for no good reason), Trump has facilitated US supplies of parts to Boeings standing in Russia. - Trump and Steve Witkoff, the president’s special envoy to Russia, are itching to invest in Russia. - Trump broke the isolation of Putin by inviting him to the US. He gave Putin an unconditional red-carpet treatment, whereas he had ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office. - After claiming that he would do something after two weeks seven times if Putin did not accept ceasefire, he has done nothing. - No US diplomat has ever appeared in the Kremlin more ignorant and unprepared than Trump’s special envoy Witkoff: no own interpreter; no assistant taking notes; no Russian knowledge; apparent misunderstandings about everything. - Only Trump could fail to dismiss such a useless character, and he did. - Trump’s “diplomacy” with Putin is a complete sellout and failure: No actual conditions = no Putin concessions; no ceasefire. - Fortunately, Trump and Witkoff’s private business deals with Putin appear to have not materialized as yet, but things may get worse. This is a low point in US-Russia relations from the US point of view, but Trump can probably aggravate it further by focusing on his personal interests. https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/60380

Since you are concerned about insufficient mourning: Oklahoma Republicans propose all state colleges must have Charlie Kirk statue Schools would be required to build memorial plaza and describe slain activist as civil rights leader or face fines https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/20/oklahoma-republicans-charlie-kirk

Just keeping you informed of everything that has happened over the past few days. Seems reasonable to assume that y’all don't get much news from the right-wing media. Alas, no one seems concerned about rolled back vaccines, childhood hunger, pollution, corruption, etc.

If you're OK with pollution, post your address and we can inform the polluters to set up shop next to your home. Thank you on behalf of those who want clean air and water

It’s weird that folks on this board are not concerned that the Pentagon wants to ban reporters from reporting. It wasn't so long ago that this board screamed about corruption at the Pentagon and now they don't want to know anything.

I thought folks here were concerned about the White House using the DOJ to prosecute political rivals.

It says Trump did a lot of bad things the past few days. Just keeping everyone well informed, especially those who only consume right wing media.

Seems weird no one wants to comment on this.

Aren't Trump and Bibi good friends?

Just the daily headlines. Trump did a lot of bad things this week. You know, things Fox won't report.

The Trump administration is canceling an annual government effort to gather data on how many Americans struggle to get enough food. The data, which is collected each December and analyzed by the U.S. Agriculture Department, measures food insecurity across states and demographic groups. The decision to end the USDA data collection comes at a time when more Americans are struggling to get enough to eat. Employees inside the USDA as well as economists outside the agency who work closely with the data reacted with shock and anger as word spread about the cancellation. After cuts to food stamps, Trump administration ends government's annual report on hunger in America
