In this case, the two had already tango'd when Trump cut in to sink the deal after sitting on the sidelines for months.

Reportedly investigators have found what may be human tissue in the blast area.

You can't deny that what I wrote is true, so you spout self-serving bull manure. Par for the course.

They're not just murderers. They're war criminals. Plus 4 war criminals. None of these pardons were routed through DOJ protocols for granting pardons; Keep lying to yourself, leh-nerd, and defending the indefensible. No previous POTUS has so blatantly abused the pardon power by issuing wholesale pardons for his political cronies and war criminals, all without following long-standing DOJ protocols.

With Russ Brandon's evil presence totally removed from the Bills organization, the Bills are not going to fumble getting Allen secured long term. Since Brandon was fired in the spring of 2018, the Bills have been judiciously re-signing their best players, most notably Tre White, but also Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano, etc. Is it Jackson that's limited or his OC, Bill Roman? Allen's body of work is significantly larger and immensely more impressive than Fitzpatrick's, Wentz's or Goff's when they got extensions. Allen has not only improved significantly from one season to the next in each of his three years, but he's also gotten better over the course of each of his three seasons. He never has had anything resembling a "slump" that lasted more than a couple of games, and those might very well have been the result of injuries. Moreover, he's clearly mastered the mental part of the NFL QBing, especially making good decisions. Extending Allen is a total no-brainer; the Bills aren't finding anybody better any time in the foreseeable future.

When I read this article, I checked to see when it was written - it was done recently. How can anybody at this point in the season question that the Bills, Browns, and Ravens will NOT give their starters extensions???? Back in October, when Allen was injured, maybe you could say that maybe the Bills might have a difficult decision. Back in November when Mayfield seemed to be up and down, maybe you could see the Browns wondering. A few weeks ago, Jackson was struggling and there were some concerns about him. In late December, there's no doubt about any of these young QBs are their teams' futures. The only question about any of these three is how much they'll get.

Pence started being the face of the administration last week. That's smoke IMO. Trump seems to be suffering some kind of mental breakdown, and somebody -- maybe Meadows or Kutchner -- needs to move to have him declared incapacitated and set the wheels in motion to invoke the 25th Amendment: "4: Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President." The alternative is that Trump continues listening to Flynn and Powell and tries to do something stupidly illegal for which he can be arrested for inciting rebellion or actually engaging in rebellion against the authority of the United States and its laws.

The planetary alignment of Jupiter and Saturn happens about every 20 years, but the it's been almost 400 years since the planets aligned on the Winter Solstice (1623) and it's been nearly 800 years since the alignment took place at night so that it could actually be seen by people.

Absolutely. In a season where the Jets shock the Rams on the road and the Bengals embarrass the Steelers, the Jags play the Bears this week and then the Colts in the season finale which may or may not mean a lot to the Colts.

Personally, I don't want the Bills to "rest their starters" in Week 17 whether they "have something to play for" or not. I simply don't like the attitude: you always play to win whether the game "matters" or not. More importantly, it's very possible that the Bills could meet their Week 17 opponent, Miami, in the playoffs. I think that McDermott should rest any starters who have injuries that would benefit from a week off, especially nagging ones, but if the starters are healthy in Week 17, they should play as long as the game is competitive.

Maybe the traitor-in-chief expects his pal Vladimir to send in the Russian version of special forces to keep him in the WH as puppet-in-chief. My guess that while 60 million Americans are willing to follow Trump almost anywhere, I doubt that even most of them would follow him into making the US a Russian puppet state.

You left out that he has been and continues to be completely in thrall to Vladimir Putin. His reaction to the reports that the Russians are behind the massive cyber attack suggests that he's sold out, at least emotionally, to Russia. In the POTUS, that constitutes treason IMO. I've been calling him a traitor since the summer.

The Traitor In Chief doesn't have the balls to do it. He's nothing but a bully whose never been thwarted before but that changes about 12:04 PM on January 20, 2021.

That might be true, but it wasn't T master's complaint. He complained specifically about SS participation changing from voluntary to mandatory and about people who didn't contribute to SS receiving SS benefits. Both of those are untrue with the exception that widows and/or minor children of deceased workers who were eligible for SS may receive SS benefits under certain conditions. Your myth is answered here: How SS works

I agree with everything but your worries about Trump retaining power is unfounded. The Traitor in Chief is done as of about 12:04 PM on January 20, 2021. Nobody in the US government is going to obey anything he orders after that. Nobody. The oath they take is to protect and defend the US Constitution not to kiss the ass of a traitor, and they take that oath seriously because they love their country, which Trump does not.

Not only did every single fraud claim lose in court, but in many instances, the Trump team denied it was even claiming fraud. Marc Elias of Democracy Docket, one of the lawyers who has prevailed in 59 cases against Trump’s claims, writes: “The legal claims being advanced were outlandish, unsupported in law or fact, and poorly lawyered. By the time the U.S. Supreme Court received Texas’ case, similar claims had been rejected by courts around the country, and the lawyers advancing them had become the subject of national ridicule.” At one point, Johnson seemed to lose control and began hollering at Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.), the committee’s ranking Democrat, for having accused Johnson of spreading Russian disinformation. In the final refuge of Trump toadies raising wild accusations, Johnson insisted he was “just asking questions.” With the US having been the victim of a massive cyber attack, most likely orchestrated by Russia, why the hell is the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee wasting time and taxpayer money on non-existent "massive voting fraud" that never happened?

I bet "dimwit" Ocasio-Cortez can run laps around moron Tommy Tuberville, senator-elect Republican senator from Alabama: Tuberville demonstrates his vast knowledge of US history and Constitution

Your points are wrong. You should get your facts from actual sources rather than from ignorant individuals and/or posters on social media or from websites deliberately spreading lies for their own agendas. Instead of assuming what you hear or read on the web to be true, use the search engine of your choice to find out if it is true or not. Social Security (SS) is a program for retired or disabled workers who have worked and contributed to SS for at least 40 calendar quarters (about 10 years) or their children under specific conditions. Social Security was never voluntary. In the beginning, many types of employment weren't covered by Social Security. Today almost all employment is covered. Social security is NOT the same as Supplement Security Income (SSI), which is a welfare program which began in 1972, and which is open to people ineligible for Social Security, including some immigrants.

Thank you for finding the truth about the original SFGate article. I tried to read the original myself but it's behind a paywall, which I'm sure is why the RW media latched on to it, knowing that most readers wouldn't fact check their lies.

I agree. I have long been an advocate for getting rid of the Electoral College, but this bull crap about trying steal the election by disenfranchising voters in some states in order to manipulate the EC underscores one of the problems with indirect election of the POTUS. It's time to move on to allowing Americans to vote directly for the President. US Senators used to be elected by state legislatures, and when that proved to be easily corrupted, we changed the Constitution, and the country has been better for it. It's time for the EC to go.

I think that many die-hard Trumplicans aren't regular voters, ie, people who vote regularly in most local, state, and federal elections, but are people who came out to vote specifically for Trump. Many are simply not in the habit of voting regularly. These people would probably be the most disillusioned by their candidate losing but they might also be less likely to vote in any election without Trump at the top of the ticket.

I thought her source might be the patterns of bat poop in the Carlsbad Caverns myself.

My guess is that McConnell believes that continuing to support Trump's attempts to steal the election is hurting rather than helping in the Georgia runoff elections -- or maybe that the runoffs are already lost because so many non-Trumpist Republicans are so disgusted with Trump's lies that they aren't going to bother to vote.

No, you-- ie, self-described "conservatives" -- talk about "freedom" but you don't practice it. Wannabe Dictator Trump repeatedly threatened to use federal forces against protestors in various cities this past summer; he actually did use federal forces to clear peaceful protestors from in front of the White House so he could stage a photo-op; he's repeatedly called for arresting his political opponents. How many prominent supposed "conservatives" challenged the Fascist in Chief on any of those actions? About the same number that have challenged him on his continuing attempts to steal the presidential election that he lost by 7 million popular votes and 36 electoral votes. Lie to yourself about your devotion to "American freedoms" and "the Constitution" , but don't come here blathering about it when you support destroying American democratic institutions and processes in blind devotion to a would-be dictator and expect nobody to call you on your hypocrisy.

Two can play the name-calling game, you stinking Facist pig.
