    Enough has been made about Claypool's off-field stuff, so I'll say this about his on-field success:

    If I'm not mistaken, when Claypool was putting up his two 800+ yard seasons with the Steelers, they were using him primarily as a big slot. A guy who can get free releases, run down the seam, and play bully ball against smaller nickel corners. 

    I think that if the Bills plan to use him that way, Claypool can be successful here. MVS and Hollins play X, they've already stated they want Coleman to play X, and Samuel and Shakir can both play Y and Z. The Bills currently don't really have another situational big slot on the roster other than Claypool.

    Given that Claypool would likely be, at best, the WR5 or WR6, they'll likely only be using him situationally, in schemed up looks and specific packages. As such, I can see him succeeding in that role. The Bills could potentially have a pretty big personnel set at times if they wanted, with Coleman, MVS/Hollins, and Claypool at WR, and Kincaid at TE. Such a grouping seems like it would lend itself well to running the ball and to red zone production.

    If Claypool is to succeed in Buffalo and stick on the 53 man roster, it will take not only him having his head screwed on straight and playing well, but the Bills having a plan for how to use him. Based on Claypool's comments at OTAs, it seems like he likes the way they're deploying him so far. Here's hoping he can reclaim the talent and production he once showed in this league, because it would go a long way in helping and diversifying the Bills offense.

     

    Unless I'm reading this wrong, Claypool was used by the Steelers (the only team that he played for that matters IMHO) 10.9% in the slot.

    He won't answer one single question, and he'll lie about every single thing, except the border and economy, which he will greatly embellish.  

     

    No need to lie.  Biden's got a terrible track record to go after, not just empty promises for when he gets into Office.

    Looks like the video was posted by Natalie Harp, one of Trump's staffers.

     

    Her job seems to mainly involve following Trump around with a battery powered printer so she can print out nice things about Trump and hand them to him to read. In case anyone is still doubting that Trump has fairly severe NPD, imagine how you would feel about a friend or family member hiring someone to follow them around and flatter them all day.

     

    While the campaign has been spinning the video as created by a random account and reposted by Harp, it was actually created by a group that has worked with the Trump campaign in the past.

     

    In the past, Trump and his campaign have actually provided feedback to the group to edit videos and have collaborated with them behind the scenes. There is no evidence that I'm aware of that the campaign collaborated on this specific video. Most likely, Harp just saw the video from people they regular repost and just reposted it not seeing the "Unified Reich" stuff. 

     

    For the record, I do not believe that Trump is a Nazi, considers himself a Nazi, or believes in the Nazi ideology. Unfortunately, the people who do fall into those buckets seem to be a big fan of his.

     

    There's a video that was posted in several threads explaining this.  It would be wise for you all to watch it.

    You may not be aware of what the history of America first was, but it was a group of 1 million American Nazis, that were mimicking Hitler's Germany first platform.  Also, Hitler's campaign slogan was Make Germany great again.  I'm sure a lot of people aren't aware of these things, and that why they don't understand why some people are opposed to them.  Just a heads up.  

     

    I'm also sure a lot of people aren't aware of this alleged "history."  What does that tell you? 

     

    And link?

    We've already covered that hours ago, so instead of going back to the question that I have already answered yes, could you please answer mine?  I'll add another one, has your opinion of how classified documents cases are handled changed since Hillary's servergate??

     

    We've already covered that hours ago as well.  Yes disseminating stolen classified documents is a crime.  What are you trying to get at here considering Biden disseminated classified information?

     

    And again, the difference between Trump having classified material and the others is he was President.  Presidents have special privileges that others do not.

    Costello is a complete clown:

     

    'Jeez!' Costello said in the witness box, at a normal volume − but with an exasperated tone − after a sustained objection.  

    "Sorry?" "I'm sorry?" Merchan said heatedly to Costello. Costello then said "strike it," seeming to refer to striking his own testimony from the court record.

    Costello continued testifying, and then he dramatically sighed after another objection was sustained. Merchan then excused the jurors from the courtroom and said to Costello:

     "I want to discuss proper decorum in my courtroom." Costello said when jurors left.

    "Right," Costello responded.

    "If you don't like my ruling, you don't say, 'Jeez!'" Merchan continued.

    He reminded Costello, who is a veteran lawyer, that Costello also isn't permitted to say, "Strike it," because Merchan is the only one in the courtroom with the power to strike testimony. Merchan also made reference to Costello rolling his eyes.  

    "Do you understand that?" Merchan asked Costello, who was sitting within six feet of the judge, in the witness box to the judge's left.

    Merchan then said to Costello in an inflamed tone: "Are you staring me down right now?"

    "Clear the courtroom, please. Clear the courtroom," the judge then ordered. Court security officers then forced all reporters to leave the courtroom.

     

    So is Merchan.

    If he declassified them first, it would still be a big deal.

     

    There were national security documents within Trump’s cache. They tried to negotiate with him for almost a year. It was only after he had his people hide the documents from his own lawyer and the try to destroy the evidence of their actions that the warrant was issued. 
     

    This would be a slam dunk obvious move in any similar situation. Someone stole things, refused to return them, and then when they finally said the returned them, they were actually lying. How could you *not* execute a search warrant at that point?

     

    Also, if what you truly cared about was what was done with the info, you wouldn’t bring up Biden since Hur said that none of the classified info ended up in the book or was documented in any discussions with the ghostwriters. 

     

    Regardless of what didn't end up in the book, you not only can't knowingly keep classified material, you can't share it with unauthorized people.  Everyone knows he knew he had classified material strewn around his house and we all know why the ghostwriter destroyed evidence after the investigation started.

     

    So if you want to go after Trump for "obstruction" because you're just out to get him, you'll have to agree that they should go after Biden.  But you'll continue to claim "it's different."  It's not.  Not that it really matters anymore, or ever did in my opinion because, as I've been saying all along, I wouldn't charge anyone.

  8. Just now, ChiGoose said:

    Oh buddy. You still think whether or not the documents were classified impacts Trump’s right to retain them after his presidency?

     

    So you're saying that if he declassified them first, it would still be a big deal?  That NARA absolutely had to get these unclassified documents back within 2 years of Trump leaving Office, necessitating armed agents raiding MAL and allowed to used deadly force if necessary?

     

    Look, it's apparent that a major reason why these people take this stuff is for memoirs later on, like Biden did for his $8M deal with the ghostwriter.  Again what I care about is what was done with the information.  If there's evidence he (or anyone else) used it for nefarious purposes, string them up.

     

    But it appears that Smith and his cohorts have cocked this case up.  And then there's Cannon to do her best Merchan.

    Was he not VP?

     

    He was.  Did you see his poll numbers?

    Why didn’t they charge Pence?

     

    Why don’t they generally charge people who hand the documents over when asked?

     

    What would happen if every single person who possessed illicit documents was charged regardless of how they came to possess them?

     

    Deep down, you know the truth. You know that the only reason Trump was charged was because he obstructed the investigation but you cannot accept that the godking is fallible so you drive in circles demonstrating your lack of knowledge in fealty to your ideology. 

     

    Because Pence wasn't a threat at all to Biden politically.  If not a way to say "see, we don't have to charge every Republican!"

     

    He "obstructed" because he felt that he was entitled to it because a President (and only a President) can declassify anything he wants.  That's the difference between him and everyone else.  Different rules for different people.  If anything, everyone else should be charged and he shouldn't.

     

    And again, for the millionth time, there's little difference between Trump not giving it back when asked for it versus Biden knowingly having it and keeping it for years.  The spirit of the law is to prevent people from using it for nefarious purposes.  Otherwise it's just a property crime.

    This is a significant divergence from the law and obviously false. 
     

    But that will never stop the cult!

     

    Not false at all.  Biden took classified information he never had any business having.  He knowingly kept them.  He kept them in a wholly insecure location.  And he shared some with his ghostwriter.  You can deny it all you want, but everyone, even daz28, knows it's true.

     

    But he's senile and to charge someone with something you need to be absolutely sure you can get a guilty verdict.  Because in the history of the US, there have never been any "not guilty" verdicts (apparently :rolleyes:).
