He has no allies. Not country, not personal, not political. He has people who fear his retaliation, fear his power, fear not being part of the group. He is definitely the King without clothes.

The screen has the DOW at 25,309 so that's probably 5 or 6 years ago. But the point is still relevant. Most people are just speculating on price movements based on sentiment and monetary & interest rate policy and couldn't articulate the rationale for investing in any particular stock except that the share price is going up. Investing through FOMO, fear of missing out.

Time for you to mask up! They may even roll out a vaccine just to calm your fears.

Funny because trump was trying to spread fear when he was on the campaign trail by claiming the stock market would crash like no one has ever seen before if he wasn't elected. So far he has wiped out over $10,000,000,000,000. In just 3 months. I just hope there is something left or the stock market for Obama to fix!

It wasn't about wearing a mask being a slight inconvenience but just a fear that what makes America great is our individual freedom. I didn't agree with them but I understood where they were coming from. It's why I despise this tariff policy. Why the hell should we give one guy the power to make us pay more for products because he happens to like tariffs and therefore hurts private companies and can kill small businesses. It's antithetical to everything this country is supposed to stand for.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near, to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be, and I long to be Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind

Summarized - 25 years of Neo con Uni party foreign policy led to Iran today. That one act did more to set back non-proliferation than potentially any single event in modern history, and yet we are told by the same neocons who designed, demanded, and executed it to trust them when it comes to Iran policy. Iraq showed that American intelligence was not to be believed, Libya showed that America and NATO were not to be trusted, and Afghanistan showed that America was not to be feared. These are the fruits of neocon American foreign policy over the last quarter-century. If you want the next twenty-five years to look any different, you’d be well advised to do the opposite of whatever the neocons demand. And right now, they’re demanding war with Iran.

This is my biggest fear. We’ve fallen into this trap three consecutive years in RD1 and it’s always ended up poorly. If the run on corners happens early, I hope Beane is wise enough to not again draft this years version of WR8 off the board at CB or DE

I will keep you posted and the end result will be a welcome answer either way, ya know? Otherwise as far as PPP is concerned . What else can a sane person do besides wait an see what the future brings. We changed our financials to bonds well before this because of having fears of what might happen. and here we are Lord Have Mercy. I thought you were a non believer my bad. I appreciate it. m

Is trump demented or lying thru his teeth again? https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/newsom-fears-trumps-mental-state-35371199 From US Army techniques publication cited above Continental United States Versus Outside the Continental United States 2-4. For the U.S. Army, conducting civil disturbance missions within the United States. will vary greatly when compared to conducting civil disturbance missions within a foreign country where the U.S. Army is conducting operations.

Have to hope our intelligence agencies are up to the task. We know terrorists and Chinese Nationals have been coming across the border. China buying up land. There is zero reason any of the above should have been so easily occurring. So now we have to pray we can snuff them out. But we can’t just sit around making foreign policy decisions off fear of foreign countries activating sleeper cells in our country because multiple Presidents.. especially our most recent one pre-Trump, allowed this to be a major concern. I do enjoy the sudden concern of sleeper cells now that Trump is President.. didn’t hear much from yall on this topic when Biden’s corpse was allowing whoever wanted to come into our country.

While Cook's leverage may not be as good as next season, the motivation to hold out is because his numbers won't be better. The Bills plan is to use Cook the same as last season, and the same RB room is back intact. TDs are kind of a fluke, and Cook may not get as many as last year. For those who play FF you would not expect much, if any, increase in points. So the fear for me is if you believe the above ,what is the reason for playing this year? The "hold-in" for 11 games and get the money you would based on last years numbers - should get you over $12m/yr and a big pile of guaranteed money (around $20M). Sacrafice most of the $5M now (and risk of injury) for the payday next year.

It doesn't depend on anything. Either way, you will make 237 posts tomorrow on how much you hate Trump because that is your primary passion and interest in life. It is all that you have and if he was to be gone tomorrow, you would probably freeze in fear at your desk and have a severe panic attack because you would be thrown off by the sudden giant void in your life.

It wasn’t that simple though because the transaction was years earlier. I don’t remember all of the specifics but knew it pretty well at the time. I had some contacts that were heavily involved (and that’s an understatement). Basically, a sale wouldn’t have been approved to someone who planned to relocate the team. From what I recall, the $400M wasn’t really an option because of some other language in the deal. The team could not be relocated until 2020 or whatever and the league would not allow an owner to operate in a lame duck situation. That’s why some potential buyers pulled out after getting more details that weren’t public. Ralph, Littman and crew put all of this in place with NY. The reporting back then was filled with 1/2 truths and fear mongering. I posted a bunch on it at the time of the sale and the info that I was getting was from those involved. Lol, back then, things didn’t stay as quiet on the inside.

Kyle Williams is interesting (beyond the name!) because he provides a vertical-speed threat. Although, I fear he may be another guy that can't get open for Josh. See https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Kyle-Williams-WR-UNLV for some analysis. (Also, that website has a cool mock draft of its own at: https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/simulator )

We can beat any of them. I think Baltimore, KC, and LA Chargers could all beat Bills in the playoffs. Baltimore and Chargers can run on our defense. Not sure Chargers have enough in the passing game with their current WRs. Of those three I am least worried about KC. Kelce is a corpse out there now. KC o-line is worse. Jones is still dominant but he is getting older too - he will be 31 this season. I understand the fear of Cincinnati but I think they have a bottom 5 defense again and probably will not even make the playoffs.

That and there was no fear of getting beat by Daniel Jones.

This is awesome. The Left’s definition of fascism is spot on: Why does this matter? Because Verhoeven, shaped by his experiences under wartime occupation in the Netherlands, developed a deep aversion to any political structure that emphasized order, unity, or collective identity. To him, fascism was not defined by race or tradition, but by the concentration of power itself. Whether from Left or Right, religious or secular, nationalist or globalist, any strong central authority represented a threat. This kind of liberalism projects fascism onto any system that imposes limits, expects discipline, or demands allegiance to something higher than personal autonomy. It cannot distinguish between spiritual order and state tyranny, between hierarchy and oppression. For Verhoeven, the blending of media, military, and state power already signaled the return of what he feared most.

Goodness gracious! https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/business/higher-inflation-fears-michigan-survey/index.html

I do want to backstep a bit and reiterate that I think Cook is an exciting RB. He has really come on and IMO is close to top 5. While everyone seems to dread the Lamar/D Henry combo I thought there was a little disrespect to the Josh/Cook dynamic - it's that much of a factor. I would prefer an extension, and for more years than several on this thread (just not at $15M/yr). I think the 200ish carries will preserve Cook and he has several good years left. Unfortunately I guess I don't like seeing the negotiations playing out in front of me. It makes me fear things have gone South.

Except the placebo effect is real. On paper it shouldn't be (your perception), but its reality is measurable and quantifiable. The opposite analogy for the point you're trying to make. Maybe as an athlete you ignored your emotional state, I did and regret it, because my best performances were when the stakes were the highest and I was totally and desperately invested in winning. It gave me massive focus and fear of mistakes or failing vanished. That's just me and everyone's different so I get what you're trying to say, I would simply conclude that perhaps you should open your mind more and that for some, influencing their mental state increases their performance.

Is there fear with Hurts? I mean it was a nice pitch.

I'm glad you're not running the team. Though I fear he just might get this time. Clearly, he shouldn't.

That's supposedly the narrative...everyone was afraid of Amari Cooper. So afraid, in fact, that the covered him even when he was on the bench getting less than 50% of our offensive snaps. No, we were just saving him for big third downs...as a decoy. The fact of the matter is, he got more than 50% snaps in two games last year as a Bill. We lost one (rams) and lost our consecutive 30 pt streak in the other (NE) This narrative that the fear of Amari Cooper transformed this offense from trash to top scorers has got to stop. He was a good swing. It didn't work. He's not on the team anymore.
