We can agree here. But alternative forms of energy that are cheaper and more efficient than oil and gas. Adoption of more effective sources of energy through human history have facilitated growth and progress which has improved the quality of life and living standards. But the point I've been hammering away at in this discussion is there aren't any more efficient sources of energy currently available. If there are, then what are they?

It doesn't matter because the playbook says as soon as one of these attacks takes place, carpet bomb the preferred narratives and propaganda throughout the media before all the facts are in and get the story out as quickly as possible while the usual media outlets spread the story. Fact don't matter. Narrative being: Heavily armed, white, straight, MAGA extremists are the biggest danger that human civilization has ever faced and once again one of them shoots up LGBTQ club in hate crime. Message: we need more government intervention and control in everyday life to make things "safe". So that narrative appears to be false based on court filings by attorneys representing the perpetrator. No biggie. If it prove false they can issue back page retractions nobody will see or read but the initial media response sticks with most people because all the outlets they use as their primary source of news that are reinforcing the narrative will go silent.

Almost everything this administration does is focused on politics. This decision is no different and perhaps Garland should have done this from the beginning and recused himself like Sessions did in 2017. A special counsel and the rules that one operates under will result in less Congressional oversight into any investigation. So checkmate on the House majority riding herd over the DOJ via any extensive hearings. If the Democrats held the house I'll wager Garland would not have made this move. Politically its smart and when it comes to playing the game the DNC continues to run circles around the GOP.

The moral of the story is authoritarian loving leftists are always angry at something. Those posters here are likely on anxiety and depression medications. They live in some dark world where oppressors are always on the look out to victimize somebody. If you want to kill the buzz at a party or gathering, and maybe get your late-staying guests to go home, invite a couple over as their constant pontificating about social justice will clear the room quickly. Ask them about how the song "White Christmas" is about racism!

One reason might be because OBJ has is not ready to play football and will not be medically cleared to play this year! If he was then what's all the delay in some team and his agent getting a deal done? We make think up all the excuses in the world but its all speculation here. I don't know, you don't know, nobody here knows for sure. There's probably things happening out of the public view but just what they are and with which teams nothing much is leaking out other than he's made some appearances in a couple places. But if some contender with cap room thinks he's going to be available then make an offer and get the deal done right now. Outside of not being completely rehabed yet, one of my wild guesses is the drama might be for attention and to jack up the price in some bidding war down the stretch.

How about taking money from China? You think that's okay?

One reason is the patriots coaching staff definitely has the Jets number and is able to create a unique defensive game plan that is well executed time after time against that particular opponent. Meanwhile, the Bills staff runs a base nickel surrendering 174 yards rushing and can't conceptualize the idea of taking away the only effective passing option of the Wilson to Wilson combination that went for 8 catches in 9 targets for 92 yards through the air.

Keep dreaming. How about all those homeless addicts crapping in the streets in Democratic controlled cities aided by an administration that thinks the border is "secure"? If they mean uncontrolled entry of people and materials that disregard customs and immigration procedures and the rule of law to infiltrate the country by drug cartels then yeah its very secure.

Sounds consistent with a Simpsons episode I recall. After Bart was unsuccessful at something Homer told him, "You tried and failed but learned a valuable lesson. Never try". So Joe Biden, never try. A great American President indeed. Just not from the prospective of Americans.

The back ups in the secondary can't cover anybody and those 50/50 balls turn out to be 80/20 in favor of the receiver. What techniques they're playing or being instructed to play other than don't get near a receiver or don't look for the ball isn't clear. Thankfully, the Browns receivers dropped some passes yesterday while the Vikings did not.

The entire 1/6 committee narrative has been an effort to link the acts of violence at the Capitol with the post-election activities of the administration and to date has failed to prove that Trump somehow "directed" the events at the Capitol. At this point they have less than 2 months left on the clock before the committee goes bye-bye.

I'm not completely sure about how the refs would have enforced a block in the back at the 7 on a punt return on that particular play but wouldn't the penalty have been enforced from the spot on the field where the returner caught the ball and not enforced from the spot of the foul?

Take the points on this bet and watch as they all invoke "executive privilege" while citing all the standard excuses for lying such as "national security risks" that might result from actually telling the truth!

The Washington establishment doesn't care what the "average" American wants. They care what big money donors want.

In the case of Hillary there were a lot of details left unexplained or not disclosed. First she was not the President. The role and function and legal status of the President is different from any other citizen. An explanation of why she didn't she use the Department of State e-mail server resources and addresses for the Secretary of State that were secure and under the control of security "experts" in the department? An explanation of why she didn't seek official approval for an exemption and submit to the required security review of both justification and inspection of the home set up? An explanation of why she refused to allow the FBI to examine the servers AFTER the hack of the e-mail system was reported? An explanation of why the AG and FBI didn't go to the FISA or other Federal court and request a warrant to seize the machines? It was a national security threat? Right? An explanation of why after receiving a legal order to "preserve evidence" her team defied and ignored a legal order and deleted and removed e-mails and files from the machines? And why they weren't arrested? Comey concluded a reasonable prosecutor would not decide to press charges given the circumstances. But he's not a prosecutor. He's the head of the FBI and he has no formal authority to decide what the DOJ will and will not prosecute. Why didn't anyone in the AG's office chime in on the decision to not proceed with charges? I could go on but you get the idea. If I replaced the names of the actors in this scene with other names like mine or anyone here I have no doubts we would have been subject to prosecution and punishment to the full extent of the law. Can anyone believe otherwise? But being Hillary Clinton, a member of the American political class, she got a pass. Its that simple. To argue otherwise is to ignore the reality.

I've heard that too but I'd argue anyone that believes there's some standard FBI operating procedure that provides agents with autonomous authorization to perform such operations are misinformed. Here's a link to a declassified version of the "FBI Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide". 'https://vault.fbi.gov/FBI Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG)/FBI Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) 2016 Version/FBI Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) 2016 Version Part 01 of 02/view I wouldn't expect anyone to read the entire document but start on page 41 Authority of the Attorney General's Guidelines For Domestic FBI Operations. See on page 43 section 2.4.2 Conducting Terrorism and Counterterrorosim Operations. They discuss procedures for deviations which my read of it include domestic entrapment and manufacturing of crimes to produce arrests and charges. Deviations require higher approval. Operations of entrapment that receive approval to proceed would appear to be "legal" under the defined procedures. So if they did indeed run a domestic sting operations here who in the hierarchy signed off on that and why? Alas, another question that will never be asked or answered. But I'd say the trail leads to somewhere in the upper ranks of the FBI and DOJ during the last days of the Trump administration.

The ultimate question isn't whether or not the Agency had assets embedded in the crowd or inside leadership in targeted groups and organizations. Wray refusing to "just say no" was loud and clear. If the answer is yes, which most certainly appears to be the case, the fundamental questions are what was their purpose and mission, and did they participate in the planning and execution of violence committed on 1/6? And if Federal law enforcement was aware of the plans by specific individuals to commit acts of violence then why didn't they make arrests prior to the event and stop the violence from occurring on that day? Not a single member of the 1/6 committee appears eager to get answers, which in itself is reason to be cynical of their stated objectives. An implication is the FBI let it happen for specific purposes which look clearly political in nature. A justification to pursue political enemies in some "official" government setting leveraging the legal system for political purposes outside the normal venues of political discourse. If they let it happen what does that imply? Certainly non-professional behavior and failure to perform the duties and functions of law enforcement. I mean, if the FBI infiltrates an assassination plot is it standard practice to allow the assassin to kill the target and then arrest them for murder rather than arrest them before the killing and charge them with planning and conspiracy to commit the act which saves the life of the intended victim?

I think the cleanest pig in the mud hole analogy is appropriate to describe the 2020 choice the two major parties presented to the voters.

All while refusing to divulge these warnings are generated by shaking and reading the clues provided by the Magic-8-Ball.

The real story is it only took 5 minutes for the war pigs confirmation bias driven thinking to declare article 5 should be invoked. Maybe everyone should consider the reality that the people clamoring for WW3 are just as dangerous to world peace as the Russians?

Maybe Trump figures presenting yourself to the voters as mentally impaired worked for Biden and will also help him carry Pennsylvania?

95% of Bills fans believe there is a worldwide conspiracy to keep the team from ever winning the Super Bowl!

Commitment to the run needs to be combined with capability which means when you need it you can do it. Can the Bills run the ball effectively? Sometimes they can and other times they can't like the delays out of shotgun which should be torn out of the play book. The run game is inconsistent and ultimately unreliable. But an effective run game when you need it can control the ball and the clock along with opening up the passing game by forcing the D to respect the run, bring down the safeties, keep the pass rush honest, and freeze the linebackers a split second from dropping into their zones. Right now the defense is thinking pass all the way on every play and based on tendencies and stats they're guessing right the majority of the time. You make them think and that's when they make mistakes in coverage and reaction. But the Bills make it way too easy on every opponent.

Josh's superhuman physical ability is both a blessing and a curse. A lesser QB aware of his physical limitations would have never attempted that throw to Davis. But a lesser QB would never have made lot of plays Josh made during the game. Its all decision making, just knowing when pushing the limits is both necessary and possible. I have faith he's smart enough and aware of the problem to figure it all out and make the necessary mental adjustments going forward.

This too. It comes down to decision making in game situations. Peterson said after the game the Viking knew Josh trusted his arm. What he didn't say is they figured out his mental and decision making tendencies. Which when dealing with crunch time are to be aggressive. Nothing wrong with that at the right moment. But that situation was not the right moment. Because a mistake here was game over. At 2nd and 10 at the 20 yard line with the clock being no factor the urgency just wasn't there to ignore two other easier and more likely to be successful options. The easy throw was to Morris or Singletary. Sometimes taking the easy plan is the smart play. Earlier in the season Josh was taking those throws more often than not and the offense was close to unstoppable. Its time to settle down and take the easy throw once in a while, move the chains, and get back to what worked earlier in the season.
