Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
keepthefaith replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Top attorney's are not politicians, so yeah that makes perfect sense. -

Sessions Resigns as AG
keepthefaith replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This is nothing more than another "issue" raised by the left to keep Trump bad in the news cycle. For your sake I hope courts don't quickly rule in Trump's favor or you'll be looking for your next Trump bad matter pretty quickly. Hopefully the courts have gotten your memo to slow walk this damn thing for months. Meanwhile $22T in debt and climbing, 40% annual health insurance rate increases and the same illegal immigrant and border issues. -
Midterm Election Gameday Thread

Olive branch to the other side at a time of bitterness or recognition that she represented the party of the majority of registered voters in that county? -
SNF: Vikes at Chicago
keepthefaith replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Trubisky is becoming a very good QB. -
It has but it is unfortunately effective. We just had an election. The house went substantially to Dems who have spent the past 2 years bitching and moaning and offering pretty much nothing from a positive policy standpoint. Anger, hatred and resistance motivated more voters.

Nate will probably get a shot somewhere else. The Buffalo market has certainly soured on him and the coaches don't need the baggage of him on the roster or PS. Baggage that has been exacerbated by national media piling on. The best thing for him IMO would be to stay out of football until next spring. Let some time lapse and work on his craft in the interim. Time and new surroundings heal wounds and he's got some. Better for the Bills to move beyond him. It's a QB starved league for even backups and 3rds. Matt Barkley was laughed out of Chicago in a similar fashion in 2016/2017 after similar performances. He stuck with it, got a couple chances and it appears he came back better for it, although 1 game is not a trend.

Absolutely but when questioned Trump can simply declare it a typo. Brilliant. Oh, gee sorry. Posted from my phone on a lousy small keypad and the "T" is near the "F". Spell check didn't pick it up. Apple sucks. And by the way they still build too many phones in China.

I'm against any changes to the tax code (including what Trump and congress enacted) until the entire federal budget is reviewed/revised/right sized in the direction achieving a more balance budget. Call me a bit skeptical as the article does not define who is indebted to the U.S. Also, is all of the debt (what's owed to the U.S.) held by our federal government or is some of it private debt?

It wouldn't surprise me if at some point an executive/leader with no football coaching experience was hired as a head of coaching and in doing so the coaching org chart was slightly different than typical. Today we have head coaches with coordinators directly reporting which is like EVP's reporting to CEO's. Many successful orgs have a COO reporting to CEO with the VP's beneath. A football team could do something similar by hiring a top flight leader as the head of the coaches who might sit between the GM and the week to week head coach. The league puts limits on the number of players per team and what those players can be paid. There aren't similar limits on the coaching staff and as competitive as the league is to evaluate and develop players and with the high turnover in head coaches, some team might decide that there are benefits in having more top minds on the job. Leaders in other disciplines often move to unfamiliar industries and do great things.

Kerley wasn't ridiculed all over the media/social media like Nate has been. That was the point of the post. People and media with no class who somehow feel they or others benefit from publicly piling on and who have no business declaring that someone "sucks" or that someone's career is over. Media are often wrong about a lot of things yet their performance is rarely scored. To answer your question, yes I feel respect for any person that pour themselves into something tough to achieve and falls short or has a setback after giving it their best. Matt Barkley was sent packing from Chicago after throwing 14 picks in 6 starts. Like Nate he probably wasn't ready for that role but did his best and has continued to work on his game. No and that post right there says a lot about you.

I for one am growing tired of the many classless reports by the so called media and of many of the classless posts aimed at Nate on this board. To the hyper critical media and to some who post here I wonder how many of y'all have attempted to do or achieve something in life that is truly difficult and enormously challenging? Things such as being a pro or high level athlete, a successful musician, a business founder/owner/manager, a survivor of trauma or disease or anything else that is VERY challenging. Seriously, how many people can really say they've lived that experience? It's a small percentage of the population folks. I won't defend Nate's performances in games as a Buffalo Bill as they were often bad as was the team around him. I will say though that most people who have achieved success in highly competitive or demanding professions/environments have had failures and setbacks along the way to success. Some never achieve the success they want but are nonetheless very talented and determined individuals. They deserve some level of respect even in failure, for they reached for something more than most and took the risk, had the guts to put themselves out there, operated way outside the comfort zone. Nate's a young guy at 24 and deserves respect for the journey that led him to the NFL and in his continued quest to continue his NFL career. More here should be wishing him well rather than declaring him incapable from behind a keyboard. I doubt that many here can claim to be subject matter experts in being an NFL QB, yet so many have brazenly weighed in. The classless media who have piled on Nate with ridicule in recent weeks along with social media posters (people who mostly have no idea what it takes to achieve something big and probably never will) deserve the ridicule IMO. Seriously ***** them. It's OK to be critical of someone's performance but kicking them when they're down is B.S. Assuming Nate has the competitive fire, I truly hope he can rise above the hate and ridicule and continue his journey with new found determination. I for one will be cheering for him if/when he gets that chance.

I think the other thing that might be at work here is that the Judge is a Trump appointee. He may not have wanted to ruin his weekend and upcoming holiday by siding with the White House only to have the media and many others hounding him for his (in the words of Tibs) corrupt decision. This may have caused him to lean in CNN's direction and it kicks the can down the road until the actual case is heard (or the matter is dropped).

The people marching to the boarder ???

This even happens within our country. Buffalo being an example. A lot of brain drain out of the area has contributed to economic malaise. -

Easy answer. Take a look back at Eric Holder's term. It's payback time biche. -
Midterm Election Gameday Thread
keepthefaith replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think this is known in Arizona and Nevada as "Californication" Yes and it seems to me that voting via any method needs to take place in much tighter windows of time. Fat chance of states moving in that direction. -
I suppose. If it were me, I'd have SHS spend the first 90 minutes every day calling out the fake news. Roll tape and read all of the crap from the previous day just to set the record straight. Then I'd have her make her daily report and then open the floor to questioning. I'd have those ***** in that room for 4+ hours every day and no BIO breaks.

Judge is ruling on this tomorrow I believe? It's a very important case IMO. If the judge rules in CNN's favor, it will make it very difficult for press white house access to be lifted in the future. If on the other hand the judge upholds the White House decision, the media in the White House probably adopts a bit more civil tone when in the press room. Can't imagine the judge ruling in CNN's favor but we get legal surprises all the time now.

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread

She's worried about the perception that illegal immigrants have with ICE?! She doesn't use the word illegal of course but that's what she's saying. I'd say that if people entering illegally fear ICE, that's a very good perception and one worth preserving.
