Disappointed in Chris Wallace, though it was not unexpected. Thought 45 had 3 bad moments. Chris Wallace framed CRT as "racial sensitivity" & 45 said he was opposed to it because it was un-American (& it is), but he needed to point out that CRT goes WAY beyond sensitivity training & it is racist indoctrination. Also, thought saying he condemns the KKK would've been a slam dunk easy thing to say as he's done that many times in the past. And, he came across as angry on the question about mail in voting & waiting for an outcome. It was another item that IMHO he is on the right side of the issue but his inability to articulate a complex thought bit him on that one. Had Biden been fact checked / stopped short by the moderator more than just partially on the GND issue, expect he would've puked over himself. But he never did that. Don't believe either guy won, but 45 probably had a bit of a loss. Doesn't seem to be the board concensus; oh well.

Would prefer they didn't give him any drugs so we all can see the real Joe Bjden. But hoping they know what they're doing and don't overdose him. Betting it's going to take a lot to get him to appear coherent.

Google Glasses to the rescue. What, you haven't seen him wearing glasses before?

The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
Taro T replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The argument here has been (and which appears to be corroborated from the discovery releases in the past few weeks) that per the FBI agents' contemporaneous notes he DIDN'T lie to the FBI. He didn't have notes about the Kislyak call when he initially spoke to the FBI agents, but they said he seemed truthful. A few edits later, Mueller's crew told him he had details wrong when he spoke to the FBI & that they were looking into charging him & his son w/ (IIRC) FARA violations; but if he'd admit to what he believed (after being told by the SCO) to have been perjury then the other charges against him & his son would go away. So, while he wasn't waterboarded, he didn't perjure himself either. And everybody that participated in lying to General Flynn should spend a LONG time behind bars thinking about how bad it is to frame someone. Not too sure about the FARA stuff, but it SEEMS that was overblown as well. -
Great Win today, we beat the Rams and the Refs.
Taro T replied to BuffaloBills1998's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And the refs gave it back to the Bills on that 4th down pass interference. Sometimes, in the end, the calls balance out. -
On the one hand, it is very plausible that no indictments will be handed out before the election. Which would be extremely frustrating, because if Biden wins the whole thing gets buried for years if not eons. On the other hand, has any MSM reporter, other than Catherine Herridge, been right in ANY predictions on this subject?

The borderline HoF level of play is a distant memory in the rear view mirror. But he was still very good last season and there is no reason to believe he can't/won't be a 50 point player on the 2nd line. Still would like another younger 2C candidate like Cirelli or Danault brought in; but Staal actually IS a 2C. Something they haven't had since the donut shop drive through window guy left town.

What have the Democrats done in the past Four years
Taro T replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's just a couple of pages removed from saying that Kavanaugh shouldn't have been confirmed because he didn't display a "proper judicial temperament" after being falsely accused of rape by at least 3 different women. -
The Thread To Vent On Nancy Pelosi & Her Hubris
Taro T replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
He could've just read the speech while it was still daylight. It's not like knowing who 45 chose changed the speech in any substantial manner. -
Still can't stand the guy, but it was a good trade for the Sabres.

"clap for that you stupid bastards"
Taro T replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Am more or less there with you. On the reasons to not vote for Biden, this one is almost at the bottom of the list. But it is something worthy of criticism back when he said it. He's not military and seems to look down on our troops. This coming to light does nothing but highlight his disdain/ not getting it. But, there are so many valid current reasons to criticize Biden, a bad attempt at humor from close to a decade ago doesn't move the needle IMHO. But can understand why somebody with ties to the military would take exception to it. -
She's not wrong.

The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:
Taro T replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Plus, Flynn never saw what the FBI agents originally said he'd said when he spoke to them the 1st time. So, he was told (falsely) that what he told the FBI initially wasn't true (though he actually was truthful per all accounts recorded immediately after his "interview") which basically made him believe he'd inadvertently perjured himself per the limited & false information he had available to him. He also was being told they were going to go after his kid if he didn't admit to the perjury charge. So, he was led to believe his recollection of events was incorrect (though, for not having notes in front of him, it was incredibly accurate) & therefore believed he had effectively lied/perjured himself. So, there's a bit of sophistry in claiming he "admitted he lied." And this is all VERY enlightening and shows that those who claim the deck is stacked against the little guy might be closer to the truth than any of us want to realize because General Flynn is nearly as far from a "little guy" as anyone in this country can be and the full weight of the system fell on his head. (Please make corrections if that isn't quite accurate.) -
Final Vote—All States, Progress in counting
Taro T replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
In an ordinary election, would agree w/ you. But considering it appears pretty clear that the D's plan to manufacture a post-election win via "finding" mail-in ballots, they need that oversampling to get people to believe the polls were accurate and all those ballots miraculously appearing after the game's been played are legit & not a repeat of Al Franken's playback. -
Should absentee ballots be illegal?
Taro T replied to Warren Zevon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Absolutely that should be investigated & if they find out who did it, charges should be pressed. But wouldn't surprise me if this was a set up from the other side. It's only 9 ballots total & would expect people crooked enough to tamper w/ the election to burn ballots for the opposing candidate rather than simply "discard" them. -
2020 Election is officially Trump vs Biden
Taro T replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
And that's where hopefully these ridiculously long lines we see for early voting puts a crimp in their plans. It'll be difficult (though certainly it'll be tried) to claim credibly that a 45 lead of 100,000 after all 50,000 mail in votes recieved by election day in a particular state gets overturned by 200,000 votes postmarked at 11:45PM on November 3. -
2020 Election is officially Trump vs Biden
Taro T replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Wait a second; the Obamas are telling people to vote by mail & also to "vote anyway they can?" Thought the wailing about 45 telling people that if they vote by mail then they should still go to their precinct on election day to verify the ballot was recieved and everything was in order for it to be counted and should there be something wrong or it not to have been recieved to then vote in person that somehow that was encouraging them to commit voter fraud & was illegal. (It isn't & it isn't.) But will those that were so appalled at 45's suggestion be similarly appalled at 44 & wife's suggestions? Yeah, that's rhetorical. -

In fairness, conservative media predominantly held the Democrats' current position back in '16. -
Ruth Bader Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer

WTF let all the mewling cats out of their cages? -
Because occassional rolling brownouts/ blackouts simply aren't often enough.

Sadly, really expect that is what the organizers of these events are hoping for. Pretty sure they're actually disappointed that they've only gotten their own shot by "the other side" in Kenosha to date.

Buffalo SB Win OR Election Victory?

Buffalo SB Win OR Election Victory?
Taro T replied to Numark3's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Should he win, he won't contest the results. Should he lose on the 3rd, he won't contest the results. Should a few million vote popular vote margin w/ 300+ EC votes eek its way into a razor thin electoral loss a day or 2 before the EC convenes, heck yes he will contest. (& the D's will have been litigating for well over a month. But, but, that's different. )
