Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Every time I watch 'Saving Private Ryan' that opening scene chills me to the bone. 30 straight minutes of polar bears floating toward the beach on melting ice, the German army high atop the ridge shooting non-environmentally friendly spitballs at them through plastic straws. It was like I was there. -
Nice to see that they were serious in 1872. That $1000 fine would be around $31,000 today adjusted for inflation. They really had the posse on a pedestal.

That is hysterical.

IG Report On Comey Is Now Out
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Jesus this woman sounds like a real dipshit. She's sitting around coming u with nonesensical analogies to one up her previous nonesensical anlogogy? Here's an analogy: Comey is an awful lot like John Hinkley Jr. Both tried to end the term of a lawfully elected president, both failed. -
I think the issue could be as simple as "mutually assured destruction". Many of the people in leadership positions have their fingers in many pies, and at a minimum the appearance of impropriety can impact all ofthem. Let's be honest--after Trump and Kavanaugh---what allegations are off the table when describing your political opponent? I haven't seen murder yet, or the allegation that any senator/SC nominee or presidential candidate is the leader of an international drug cartel--but everything else is mainstream these days and people lap it up like the lemmings that they are. Two of the major operatives of our time--Clinton and Comey-- have been described as careless, reckless with sensitive information, dangerous and that's from their allies. Trump is the victim of a massive propaganda campaign that was proven to be false after an investigation undertaken by his enemies and he still remains the object of scorn by some ordinary Americans. But therein lies the rub and my hope for the future. Trump is the wildcard and seems likely to take out anyone he needs to take out by declassifying intel that will hurt his opponents. As far as I am concerned, if the best he can do is burn Obama, Brennan, Comey and the like, so be it. I'm still hopeful that some heads will roll, and I'd love to see that seditious piece of **** Comey in prison, so hope remains. It's a long game, but it has to be played.

Owners should see to the end of the league. Manager's should see to the end of the organization. Coaches should see to the end of the roster. Players should see to the end of the play. Fans often see to the ends of their emotions, and rarely with clarity. Shady is gone, he went out with his head held high, and for all we know the 4th or the 5th you think we should have gotten was to a place the warrior did not want to go. It seems interesting to me that Shady was buttoned up quickly, to a place where he can compete and with a coach he knows. All the best to him.

Bills Players Kneeling in End Zone
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to Bills4Ever4Life's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The argument goes on and on. This is an emotional issue for many folks, and like many emotional issues, logic and reasoning doesn't rule the day. I was speaking with my son about kapernick a while back. His perspective was that he was being blackballed and that he deserved a job on an nfl team. My perspective is that he made his choice, became a lightening rod, and is entitled to nothing whatsoever. He asked me if my thoughts would change if kapernick came to WNY and lead the Bills to a SB, and seemed surprised when my answer was 'no'. my issues largely center around protesting at work, before what amounts to a captive audience, on a football field made of $$$ while segregated from the masses. i was particularly struck by his 'cops are pigs' angle, and that for me was the deal breaker. people are entitled to their opinions. that's the beauty of the country. -
IG Report On Comey Is Now Out

He gets paid in refundable deposit bottles. It's not as glamorous as it seems though--he has to earn his stripes as a plastic apprentice before they can trust him with glass. He's on year 8 of the 3 year program. -

When did he mention that? I'm not on Twitter so don't see any of his tweets. -
Matt Barkley - taking things more serious?
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Every Bills fan ever is considering the alternative to JA being successful. Some are hoping against hope. Some are excited for the potential. Some hang on one preseason play. Some harken back to his college days. And some are on the ledge of a one story building just waiting for the cue to jump. There is a marked difference in what you wrote v what the other poster wrote. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic that he will develop into a good Qb, and the other players around him will do their part. Line has to create holes for the RBs. Line has to give him some time to make plays. Receivers have to create separation and make plays that they should make with regularity, and catch 50-75% of the more difficult catches that surely will come their way. Coaches have to game plan and adjust in-game. I can tell you I'm having more fun watching this team develop than I have in years. Btw, nothing earth shattering but the son of a friend did an internship w/ Buff and said the team is fun and exciting to be around. For whatever that is worth, it's good to hear. -
Ah, I see. I thought maybe your perspective was that full term was reached when a fetus turned 18. You sidestepped the rest of the scenario, which is your right as the woman that carried you chose not to abort you an hour/a day/two weeks before you passed from one side of the flesh to the other. Lucky you. I really just wondered if things changed when the legal argument moved from a persons right to choose to a question of infanticide. I'm guessing not, given the relatively high percentage of children not killed by their parents.

Does anything change if the child is born, and 10-30 minutes later the woman decides to terminate the child's life? Let's assume the numbers are the same. 250 babies born, let's even say 10% suffer from birth defects ranging from Down's Syndrome to birthmarks to cleft palate. Some have an unknown father/sperm donor, and some women say they were victims of sexual assault. All good? And, what's up with putting "full term" in quotes? Is there a fuller term?

If I were invisible, I would become a US teacher in education of geography, because I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U. S. should help the U. S., uh, or, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children. That is what I would do if I were the invisible. Thank you.

Report: NFL owners pitch 18-game schedule
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to nucci's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can you do that? Just change the calculation to "its $100 per reg season game"? What's next--you're only paying for the games when they win? This is a slippery slope to socialism. Or capitalism. One of the ism's for sure. -
The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Again, the obvious question is "Why wasn't the media criticizing Obama and Clinton for hammering Fox News during his reign?". Why was that an acceptable political model, why did news organizations enable and frequently participate in the trashing of that organization? -
The Mizzou/Yale/PC/Free Speech Topic
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to FireChan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think to even consider accepting a list of acceptable opinions into your spam filter, you gotta at least be at under-sweater-over-bra stage. Assuming you and your kin are not Jackson White(rs), wow, that's some crazy right there.
