No one with even a shred of discernment should be able to watch CNN and not realize they deserve every dump of schitt that Trump throws at them. They have, remarkably, become the poster child of the unhinged left. They're MSNBC with an audience, and Jim Acosta is their Ed Shultz. It is virtually unwatchable now.
MSNBC has higher ratings because they at least don't pretend to be balanced in trying to be the Fox News on the left.
Here is a perfect example of how CNN uses neocons to paint Trump as a crazy man and how easy it is to refute their narrative when you have a fair minded expert on the other side. CNN is attacking Trump from the right and does democrats no favor whatsoever.

That is a very odd piece of data, because if you are part of the 43% that think Trump should have the power to censor the press than you are effectively believing in ending freedom of the press in a very major capacity. So it just doesn't make sense to me that 43% of people would want a person in the highest level of government office to be able to censor the press an institution which you believe is essential for American democracy.
It just seems like the two ideas are very much at odds with each other.
43% of Republicans think that Trump should have the power to censor the press. 85% of those surveyed (Republicans, Dems, Independents) believed a free press is necessary. This poll oversampled Republicans at 36% of respondents. Even so, 43% of the 36% of Republicans is right around 15%. There's been people on here that think Trump should be able to kick some news networks out that have had a press pass for a long time so the 43% isn't hugely surprising (although it's probably lower than that given the way the questions were worded). Having said that, this is a purposely slanted poll to paint Republicans in a bad light.

I give Cam credit for addressing Benjamin man to man instead of through the media. Cam looked like the bigger person here.

Chargers are looking for Rivers' future successor.

Yes, but if you watched the tape on Baker Mayfield tonight, who is playing on a woeful team, he made the Browns look somewhat coherent, or confident tonight.
I din't get that sense from Josh Allen. He looks every part like a very raw rookie.
That's why Baker went #1. He was at the top of my list. Josh Allen is a very raw rookie, but I can't deny his potential.

I agree, Orton was not as athletic as Allen, so it was a bad comparison on my part.
But the only reason I can see that we drafted Allen with the 7th pick, is because we have a brand new front office,
eager to find a gem in the rough, like Tom Brady, and forever set themselves apart from the pack.
I'm wasn't sold on Josh Allen as the best 7th pick, and this game didn't do anything to alleviate my fears.
Yes, he was playing with the 3rds. but he is uncomfortably inaccurate with many of his throws.
Almost every draft expert had Allen going in the first round and some had him going #1 overall. The Cardinals would've snatched him up if we didn't. I didn't like the pick either, but I can't deny the potential he displayed last night.

I hadn't heard that but yeah it will. Why the hell would you not return a call like that though.
The thing is, if Gordon comes back, Dez wouldn't even start. I don't see him signing there at all. His agent probably convinced him he's killing chances with other teams by being an idiot.
Because he's Dez Bryant. It doesn't make much sense to me either, but since Landry is a slot receiver you could have Bryant and Gordon on the outside. There's also a chance that Gordon doesn't come back at all.

The Browns called Bryant and he didn't even return their call.
Gordon will be back soon. The Browns are going to be pretty good on offense. With Tyrod or Mayfield.
He's visiting the Browns this week via his Twitter account. It will make for an interesting Hard Knocks episode.

I think Tyrod was 5-5 for 99 yards and a TD on a great pass in two drives.
And he may be getting Dez Bryant. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for him.

Browns threw for over 300 tonight. Since we're putting pointless preseason statistics out there.

I think Josh Allen comfortably compares with Kyle Orton.
Big arm...........lot's of inaccurate throws................every once in awhile a great throw..........
Bottom line, we lose the game.................
I think it's too early to compare Allen with anybody yet, but Orton is not somebody I would go with. If he had the arm Allen has he wouldn't of been drafted in the 4th round. Also, not as athletic as Allen. Plus, he went 7-5 as our starter and if Bryce Brown in the Chiefs game held onto the damn ball we would of went 10-6 and probably made the playoffs.

Anybody that said he was horrible or great is a victim of confirmation bias. I was vehemently against the pick, but I was encouraged from what I saw tonight. He looked calm in the pocket which is rare for a Bills rookie QB. Seemed like the complete opposite of when I first saw EJ and Losman play. His arm strength was better than I anticipated to the point some of those throws were just wow....now I see how some draft pundits and teams fell in love with them. His pocket awareness was pretty good and his scrambling ability was impressive (even though he was going against their scrubs). He showed some touch when it was warranted and even side armed a throw to throw around a defender to complete a screen. He's not afraid to take chances which worked to his advantaged once on a terrific role out throw where he allowed Lee to make a play. Also, great recognition of a free play as the defense jumped offsides and he threw a long ball up for grabs that was nearly completed. The couple of drops made his stat line (9 of 19 make it look than it actually was).
The bad which I expected from him. He had know business throwing the ball on that 4th down play as that easily could've been a pick six. He was completely out of sync with his wide receivers on a few incompletions. There were a lot of false starts when he was in there, but I don't know how much he was to blame for them. He stared down his primary receiver a lot and some balls may have been picked off if it wasn't for his arm strength. There were some short throws that could've been more accurate. He didn't seem to make adjustments when the blitz was coming. The good news is most of his mistakes are fixable and typical for rookie QB's.
I'd give him a B plus for his first action in the NFL. I'd love to see him play one game with the 1st stringers, but I understand why they want to bring him along slowly.

Doc gets married to any poll that matches his presuppositions
I absolutely do. I think those exit polls are pretty accurate though given the urban/rural divide. You could also go to that NYT interactive map and look at the mostly black precincts to see the % of votes each candidate got.

I think most Republican pols have not done a good job of marketing to the black community. With that I don't mean not offering as much taxpayer assistance as some of their competition but rather campaigning on the ground, getting to know people and sincerely listening.
That's one problem Republicans have as you'll here black people often say the problem is there isn't a viable alternative to the Democratic Party. Every election it's more about black turnout rather than what party they'll vote for. Another is Democrats believe in a large federal government which was vital in protecting blacks from hostile state and local governments during Reconstruction and the Civil Rights movement.

how can they quantify that in a clinical scientific way?
they were behind the curtain and counted every vote?
it's all based on fools who tell them how they voted, and it's biased against the GOP in question asked and the people chosen to be asked
I thought you meant current polls. Not exit polls. You're correct. Maybe black people have secretly been voting conservative this whole time.

The polls say they do.
I don't trust the polls, they asked tilted questions and often pretend they actually asked a real person, often just filling in whatever they want.
I understand fully if someone of that demographic does not want to publicly state they are voting for the GOP.
Would you prefer the actual results of every presidential election since 1964? No Democratic candidate has ever received less than 82% of the black vote since then.

FItz has got this. No need for a move. Just like the time he filled in for Bart Starr.

My brother and I had season tickets in '10 and he came down out of the blue with a chronic digestive illness about two weeks into the season. He rarely feels good enough to even go outside the house so I had to find five people for the remaining five games. I couldn't find a partner to go to the Patriots game so I went by myself and we got annihilated so I decided to get annihilated afterwards. Luckily, it's easy to find drinking partners from high school after a Bills game. One of the perks of a smaller city

They've been looking at him for at least a year for something, anything. Here's the indictment. Maybe true may be false. Innocent until proven guilty and all that "stuff". I wonder if there will be picketing in Spaulding Lake? ?
Definitely a blow for Trump as Chris Collins was his first congressional supporter.I don't think anybody gives a damn about Chris Collins is it relates to Trump.

So they drop this the MORNING AFTER the Repubs lay the smackdown on the Dems in the special election, after ALL 5 of Trump's endorsed candidates win, and all 6 picks the commie from Westchester endorsed were defeated?
And all that being said, they cannot find a reason to investigate Feinstein?
In this news cycle on steroids, literally any time would look suspicious.

Before watching the first episode, I thought the Browns may win a few games this year because of the young and new talent, etc.
After watching the first episode, no way. They will lose at least 14 games this season. Hue Jackson, Josh McDaniels, and Gregg Williams are the worst coaching trio in the league. They make Kay Stephenson's staff look like Lombardi, Landry, and Shula.
Yeah, nobody watched last episode and came away with the thought....gee, the Browns may be a sneaky playoff contender.
I think they go 4-12 to 6-10 assuming Tyrod starts. Not drafting Chubb with the 4th pick was the second dumbest move in the draft besides the Giants passing on a quarterback.

Or the Green Party
Still some votes to count, maybe 8000 or so provisional and absentee ballots. But unless those ballots break heavily for O'Conner (like ~60%) it looks like the Democrats will have failed to flip this seat
The partisan lean in this district the last two presidential elections was plus 14 Republican. If results hold, that's a plus 13 point Democratic swing which is around the average of all the special elections so far. If that pattern holds, it's not good news for the House Republicans this November. I'm sure the Dems will find some way to screw it up though.

Read the works of Theodor Geisel. His treatise on "The Grinch" really amounts to a fantastical deep dive on the perils of unfettered capitalism v communal socialism. I don't want to ruin it for you, but in the end, socialism wins out. Interestingly, in Giesel's never-competed dark sequel "Look Who's Grinchin 2", by page 6 there is literally no toilet paper to be found anywhere in Whoville and every character eventually starves to death.
Plus The Grinch is like you, he seems to hate a little somethung about everyone. I call him The_GrinchDude.
If only "The Sneetches and Other Stories" came out 20 years earlier.
