All_Pro_Bills

Its understandable that you're uncomfortable addressing my contention. You're one of our posters here that invokes Putin against lots of other posters in attempts to discredit their opinions. You're doing it again here. Saying that if Putin would, theoretically I guess, agree with or approve of their views, that they're somehow carrying water for the dictator. That's your way of dismissing their views without having to put up any credible argument against it. It can be a clever tactic at times. But in the case of this prisoner exchange, its clear Biden is agreeing to an exchange that benefits Putin. If it didn't then the Russians wouldn't have agreed to it, plain and simple. You can't debate that, and Putin certainly approves of and agrees with the Biden administrations decision. If that's incorrect then I'd love to hear your explanation. As you've been dead set against any actions or views that might benefit Putin I can't imagine you truthfully approve of this exchange. You can lie to us, but don't lie to yourself. That gets to my point that no matter what you won't disagree or criticize anything this administration, or any Democrat for that matter would say or do. You're a company person through and through. A yes man for the man. I can't speak for everyone but I haven't given Trump a pass. I didn't like his tax plan and he lacks the capacity to understand details and specifics of policies. He's a flawed person and his personal behavior at times can be inappropriate and rude. I wish he would disappear from the scene. But everyone has some flaws. Biden has flaws too. I'd say his biggest are he's a lifetime mediocre politician that has been running influence peddling operations through his career. The latest involving countries such as China. But like "Home on the range" you will never say a discouraging word.

Maybe so, but its obviously clear to everyone here that you give Joe a pass on everything. Don't you think Putin benefits here?

The fundamental fact is this trade was a poor value for value transaction. If you like this deal how about the Bills send Josh Allen and their 2023 1st round pick to the Bears for Nathan Peterman? Its representative of the same disparity. Along with this is the general directive that the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists. Most posters gushing all over this deal and Biden's adroit handling of the transaction categorically classify Putin as a terrorist and war criminal. In regards to Ukraine they are adamant that no negotiations can be held with Putin the terrorist and all pre, current, and post war negotiating points considered important to Russia cannot be conceded or agreed to by the Ukrainians and their backers. Unconditional surrender by Russia and concession of all points of discussion is the only path to an agreement. But not this week. But by releasing Boot in exchange for Griener our government is certainly breaking their own rule reaching an agreement with a terrorist, along with aiding and abetting a terrorist. So how can that be rationalized?

I think the bottom line is superior talent executing at a high level will always beat a great scheme executed by an opponent with lesser talent.

You see, you lack all objectivity and perspective. Because these people, some carrying American flags and many who served, aren't dissing our country. Meanwhile our NBA star has turned her back on the flag but once detained in Russia and faced with different circumstance had a sudden change of heart. Sadly, there's just nothing this administration has done or will do that you criticize or object to here. And you certainly won't criticize this exchange. If Biden negotiated a deal to send Hitler back to Nazi Germany in exchange for a box of Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies you'd be singing praises to the deal to high Heaven. Proclaiming what a "great American President".

Its simply a bad exchange on a value basis. An arms merchant that supplied terrorists and rogue governments with weapons for a WNBA player that previously dissed her country. So now terrorists can get weapons easier and a sport nobody cares about can get one of its stars back on the court. You like the deal? How about this. I give you $1 and you give me $100. That's pretty much the same trade Biden made.

Perhaps you forgot, but these folks were charged by police and the local DA for having the audacity to exercise their right to self-defense. So different rules? Absolutely. If you menace organized mobs like BLM back in 2021 which are protected by Democrat administrations you're going to face charges. If you're an Antifa insurrection attacking and firebombing Federal buildings every night you won't get shot or arrested. You're right, different rules indeed.

As its no big surprise, the US team is eliminated so nobody has to pretend to like soccer at this point.

The lesson is when you're a person of color in Austin and your house is getting robbed consider the police rolling up to be hostiles and open fire on them before the get out of the car. You'll be saving lives! Your own.

So they didn't catch the guy hiding in the bushes wearing a red baseball cap holding a book of matches at the other end of the 50 foot long wick ready and waiting to light the fuse when the VP appeared on the scene?

I support the idea and don't doubt the technologies work because fuel cell technologies and burning hydrogen have been around for a long time but its a big leap from a demonstration project to supporting a motor vehicle fleet level of activity along with the corresponding support infrastructure. And its unclear what the economics of hydrogen production, distribution, storage, and use are at the fleet level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_economy

Generally hydrogen is found in water, H20, rather than free hydrogen that can be captured or drawn from the atmosphere. Have you seen anything about what energy sources are being considered to "charge" the water in order to separate out the hydrogen from the oxygen and store it somewhere? This is important because from a physics and economic perspective, to be an effective energy source the amount of energy input needs to be less than the energy output.

Generally I agree where feelings are substituted for facts. One aspect is the participation trophy culture. Taunting penalties in sports. Sure you can beat them 55-0 but don't say anything that might make them cry. The left demonizes traits emphasizing masculinity, or as some say "toxic" masculinity. You see this all over the place. Woke mythology glorifies lesbians, generally women of color, and portrays straight men, generally white males, as villains and as people with low morals or ethics. Only men that can cry while sympathizing with and apologizing for the evils the oppressive system they have brought to bear on others are acceptable. Men are weak of character and ability. The left is generally focused on the traits of "strong" women and subservient men following their lead is the only acceptable male attribute. We're bombarded with this in current media, TV shows and movies, comics, other entertainment. My objection to it all as its presented is they have absolutely no creative skills or any original ideas. All they do is take existing characters and heroes and repackage them as something else. And constantly watching a 105 lb, 5 foot 3 inch women beat up 4 or 5 guys weighing in at 200 lbs in the prime of their physical abilities is a bit to much to believe. What the left appears to desire is a population of males we might characterize as "wimps". But wimps don't do things like fight and win wars? Are women going to assume that role? Have at it and they're welcome to it.

If you we at Twitter, Google, or perhaps Facebook and were genuinely interested in supporting the truth, what would you have done when the NY Post story hit the wire given previous FBI warnings of misinformation? Automatically suppress the story based on some vague warning or do some leg work and investigation the story? Would picking up the phone and contacting the editors and reporters at the Post have been a good idea? Meet with them to review their evidence, due diligence, and sources? Then draw your own conclusions about the legitimacy and accuracy of the story before deciding if its genuine or false. That's something real media does on occasion. Employing some logical and critical thinking skills along with skepticism and understanding of motivations. Something we need more of in this country. Instead, they blindly accept a directive from the government to suppress anything that comes across your desk they for sake of simplicity "don't like". This fellow Jim Baker at Twitter for all intents and purposes still worked for the FBI executing party and agency policy by proxy. Our reality is there are lots of "Jim Baker's" embedded in social and MS media everywhere, left or right, liberal or conservative. Such as all these former "intelligence" officials employed by the TV networks. Professional liars still lying.

In an interview Schummer said it came down to Democrats having "better candidates" and there is a lot of truth to that statement. As you cite Oz. A homegrown moderate Pennsylvania Republican would have probably won that Senate seat. A fundamental problem is what sells in the primaries doesn't always work in the general election, for one because of a very large independent vote that swings either way depending on the issue and specific district or State. Democrats have more or less recognize this reality while Republicans are, as usual, slow to catch on.

Beyond talking to potential suitors, it appears most likely that OBJ can't be medically cleared by either his personal medical advisors or any team doctor's to participate in any workouts nor can any party give a clear and accurate target schedule of when he might be cleared to play. From all the noise coming out of Dallas, if Jones got assurances from his medical team that OBJ would be available at any time during the regular season or for the playoffs and he'd be in a position to be a productive receiver, he would have signed him already. Unless he's cleared to start running practice routes in the next week I say this PR tour comes to an end and Becham signs somewhere after the Super Bowl during the 2023 free agent period.

If its an energy war we must ask where does Saudi Arabia stand and OPEC+in the conflict? As leader of OPEC+, the kingdom is hosting a delegation from China, notably lead by President Xi, where they'll attend a 3 day meeting starting tomorrow with Saudi leadership and representatives from other oil producing countries in the Gulf region. Everybody can wave the flag of democracy until their arms fall off but my view is while the US and its NATO allies are distracted by Russia in Ukraine and dumping vast amounts of resources into the conflict while destroying the economies of Europe in some collective suicide pact, China is purposefully and methodically pursuing mutually beneficial relationships elsewhere and stepping into the leadership role abandoned by the current US administration. And in the process securing key economic resources and inputs like energy into the future. While the Americans send lots of trade their way buying solar panels from Chinese firms!

China, the party that will take most of the Russian oil production, wins again. The will get oil for consumption at a discount and sell the rest at market rates. They've done this previously with LNG purchases shipped to Europe.

The truth is the enemy of idealists on the left. Do you think the peasants would have gone along with Mao and Lenin if they told the truth about the real objective of the communists to replace a system of servitude to a monarchy with one of servitude to a political ideology? Who among them want to admit: The Biden laptop is genuine The laptop was not hacked or stolen. It was left with a repair vendor under an authentic work order and signature. The shop owner attempted to contact the owner of the machine but received no reply. The property was abandoned by the owner per the agreement and non-payment for services. The shop owner contacted the FBI. They had no interest. The shop owner made back-up copies of the contents of the hard drive. Subsequent the FBI showed up with a warrant and seized the machine. The FBI secured the PC but did little else to investigate. The machine has been stored at the FBI for 2 years. Some private parties received copies of the hard drive. One copy found its way to the NY Post The Post examined the files, performed due diligence, and concluded the contents were real and legitimate correspondence of the people identified in the files. The Post published the story. Attacks on the legitimacy of the story and the PC began. Twitter was contacted and requests were made to suppress conversations and sharing of information. Twitter complied. Former members of the intelligence community concluded the PC information was Russian disinformation. They made these conclusions based on personal considerations, not from looking at the contents or the sources or the material. Some of the e-mails detailed payments from Chinese entities. The "big guy's" 10% cut was referenced. The big guy was identified as Joe Biden Joe Biden is now President. Biden being compromised by payoffs from China represents a potential national security risk that is being ignored by the press and national security officials.

This looks like another husband/caregiver wife set up like Joe & Jill with the husband's body fronting as an elected official for the wife's brain managing the appearances and activities.

It's a little early here for me so your multiple deflection response has me in a bind. Which question that you asked that avoids directly addressing my post do you want me to answer first? And honestly its not about what I believe as I'm not driving policy or making recommendations to leadership. It's really all about what the Democrats in charge believe. And from where I sit its perfectly clear they don't care about the Constitution or allowing it to get in the way of their objectives.

Frankly, I would have expected any calls to "terminate" the Constitution to be supported by the Democrats and their allies. After all they're full efforts have been exerted trying to do that for the past 6 years. Just a few pesky items they're looking to eliminate: Freedom of speech A free press The right to bear arms The Electoral College Legal due process The Supreme Court They should be cheering loudly and carrying Trump on their shoulders through the halls of the Capitol.

What is this guy smoking? From his bio it sounds like this chap Collins is a deranged reality denier. If I were you I'd avoid associating yourself with known lunatics.

Professionally its defined as being a bull sheet artist. Counter that argument by requesting details. Names, dates, and places. Documentation, meeting minutes, action items and issues.

Absolute truth is the authoritarian self-proclaimed liberals will use any situation that presents itself to attack Musk for the simple reason that he ended their monopoly to censor speech on Twitter. That's got them crapping their pants as for the first time they can't control the narrative on the platform.
