They'd been looking at Carter Page for years. Probably because his actions in Russia would be of interest to anyone involved in surveilling foreign intelligence. Just like Bruce Ohr had been a prominent prosecutor of the Russian Mafia and Peter Stroek had been leading FBI efforts against Russian influence. All of this before SideShow Don ever awkwardly stepped into the political arena. Who'd a thunk they'd all intersect with the investigation into election interference BY THE RUSSIANS? Who'd a thunk that would intersect with the investigation into Trump? Must be a personal vendetta!

Where's Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate and when is he gonna carry out his secret Muslim plot! We've got to answer that question once and for all before we can fully expose this latest RussiaGate conspiracy! It's amazing how entrenched you become to these things before quickly moving on once it's disposed of. Doesn't that sh*t get tiring? God Bless your stamina.

Sometimes when "experts" describe a game as lobsided, it's because it's lobsided. I don't think fans have come to terms with just how bad this roster is. I expect a terrible season. Not because I want them to fail, but because facts take precedent over emotion. There's no doubt many of these "experts" possess little knowledge of what the Bills have going on. We're a small market team without much cache, so I've gotten used to it. They'd rather discuss the Cowboys linebacking core than our QB situation. At the same time, just because they don't know why the Bills are gonna be bad doesn't mean their conclusion is incorrect.

Haha. Sideshow Don burnin the midnight oil crunchin numbers! Brah, enjoy your Labor Day!

I'm admittedly skeptical at best about Josh Allen. There are just so many damn red flags. The second preseason game provided a glimmer of hope, but I've reverted back to extremely skeptical. I've been a Bills fan for too long to have blind faith, so I actually admire the faithful. Life is better, if not realistic, for those with optimism. Just curious if anyone is losing a little bit of that faith with Allen. We can talk all we want about the offensive line, but the guy was beaten out by a 5th round pick with one more year of experience.

Josh is cool with the decision. He's not looking to beat anyone out.

Did you mean world? Hillary is an old woman just like Trump is an old man. I don't think anyone on the left considers her a golden "child." Hyperbole is not a good look.

You might want to attend to that personal matter instead of posting on a message board.

My biggest fear with this regime is that they'll "character" their way right out of contention.

I don't know why you guys are so focused on Meghan, and not W's "bigots and swaggering despots." Probably a bit biased about W for personal reasons. You could loathe his politics, but you never questioned his manhood. Anyone who dodges an incoming shoe attack so effortlessly has my respect. Still can't figure out how an obese old man who's likely never been in a fistfight is so revered as a "tough guy." I'll never forget the 98 Bills-Jets game being pre-emted by Clinton's impeachment. Like the only sequence of plays I missed in a 10 year span. In those days, I'd go to Best Buy every Sunday and convince the TV dude to put the game on. It's even worse to pre-emt a sporting event in 2018. There's like 8 million other options for people wishing to view a funeral.

Yes. The omnipotent Deep State, what with all it's power, colluded to ensure President Hillary Clinton's election. It couldn't be that a few people of conscious in the DOJ had well founded suspicion that something wasn't right with SideShow Don. It couldn't be that you're contorting those rational suspicions to concoct some radical conspiracy that never actually took place. Attacking the investigation is the oldest trick in the book. I'll give SideShow Don credit. He has played the simultaneous victim/hero card better than anyone has ever played it. It seems though that the schtick is growing stale. If he wasn't so damn insufferable, he'd be a somewhat sympathetic figure. Then again, the very things that make him insufferable are the things we're drawn to. At this point, he's really damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Unless of course, the old dog has a few new tricks.

The conspiracies are really drying up. Trump's demise will not result from some egregious legal matter nor will it result from his supporters' sudden spiritual awakening. Trump will fall when Lock Her Up! and Build The Wall! and Peter Stroek! and Bruce Ohr! become tired. His tweets are increasingly stale. The last rally he did was remarkably low energy. The stand up act is aging and he's got no new material. If he could reconcile that fragile ego with his sense of self preservation, he'd bow out gracefully. But he cannot.

Take it to PPP!

Sarcastic indeed. I think Trump is a whole different kind of ridiculous, but those who hate him are just as responsible for the phenomenon as his congregation. They LOVED it when he was attacking Lyin Ted and Low Energy Jeb. Then they HATED it when he was attacking Clinton. Love and hate are damn near the same thing, so they couldn't look away. The guy IS talented. But yeah, if it's only about character, I can understand why they wouldn't bail. I prefer to focus on policy, though his shenanigans offer plenty of comedic material. I wasn't knocking you personally for stating you hate Trump. On some level, I HATE SideShow Don. I think most reasonable people hate SideShow Don. Just never found hate to be particularly effective.

Meh. Not every shot hits the mark.

I don't know about any of that monkey business, but I know I could never vote for a grown man ADVERTISING fellatio on another grown man. Did you see that disgusting Disantos ad? Lets hope Florida rejects those shenanigans.

A stable genius running a smooth oiled machine the likes of which mankind has never seen before in human history since the beginning of time. And doing it all by the book!

TakeYouToTasker demonstrates a thorough, articulate(not sure if he's black) argument in favor of unfettered capitalism. I don't agree with a word of it, but it's "compelling." That being said, it's a losing proposition politically. That's precisely the reason conservative elected officials try to avoid it. They're not even touting the tax cuts because most people do not sense a direct benefit. Democrats are more than willing to slip on the banana...like every time. The Clinton campaign was the worst I've ever seen. I still don't know what she was FOR. People are selfish. They tend to vote selfishly. What's going to benefit ME? Vulture capitalism doesn't benefit the masses. Never has. Never will. If Dems stopped doing crazy sh*t like overreacting to politically incorrect social stances, this would be a completely different country.

It always boils down to "they earned it," doesn't it? Without government intervention, capitalism falls on it's face. We've seen that time and time again in this very country. The concepts of common sense equity and merit based wealth are not mutually exclusive. If Republicans believe in a Lord of the Flies economy, they should just be honest about it. If you want to strip away Medicare, Social Security, monopoly laws, minimum wage laws, unemployment, etc., just be honest. Some of us think a few steps forward could actually be beneficial.

Standard of living was drastically lower when CEO's made 30 times the worker? Seems arbitrary. There's no question overall economic numbers are terrific. They've been trending that way for awhile now, especially for folks who were already wealthy. It's safe to say deregulation accelerated that growth, environment be damned. I wouldn't think a $15 basement wage is some kind of radical proposal. Companies won't suddenly overhaul the hiring process. They'll continue to employ as few humans as possible. They'll eliminate as many jobs as possible. That's how capitalism works. If you can't pay somebody 15 bucks an hour, maybe you should re-evaluate the business model. I don't think millionaires and billionaires need any help. They're doing just fine. I worry about the lower skilled folks increasingly left behind. Modern technology is a blessing and a curse. Some drastic measures will be needed in the very near future as labor becomes more obsolete.

85% of the cuts went to the top 1%. Now if you believe trickle down economics work, then so be it. Time will tell. Just don't sell it to me as a "middle class miracle." I ascribe to socialist economic policies, so I'm naturally opposed to it. When people talk about making America great again, I think of a time when the CEO made 30 times what the worker made. Too many people are left behind right now and that's not really a partisan issue. I don't see either side making any appreciable difference. If you simply raised the minimum wage to adjust for inflation, it'd be nearly 20 dollars an hour. These fools are only asking for 15.

I try really hard to avoid the subject of Trump. He's irrelevant. It's discouraging to see that kind of dude occupying the oval office, but other than the disastrous corporate giveaway, he hasn't done much. Doesn't have the balls to actually make cuts to the budget, so we'll kick that deficit issue down the road for the next guy to clean up. A Paul Ryan presidency scared the sh*t out me.

There's an awful lot of analysis into something that's rather simple. There is no empirical evidence supporting divinity. Quite the contrary. The scientific errors contained in religious texts are pretty much a non starter. Perhaps there is a higher power. I'm open to the possibility. I'm certainly not gonna waste my life painstakingly studying something that can never be proven. I think religion has oft times benefited society. Right from wrong. Don't kill. Don't steal. I don't really need a book to spook me into morality, but some do. It's also caused millions upon millions of premature deaths. As long as your religion doesn't infringe upon my right to do as I please, go on and do you. As to this topic; John McCain was a war hawk, slow to come around on civil rights and didn't know much about the economy. I couldn't stand him as a politician, but I believe his "intentions" were good. Intentions are tricky. They're more emotional than factual and you could argue irrelevant. Either way, the guy is dead. The left is quite obviously using him as a prop and the right is pissing on his grave because he dared challenge the dear leader. Both are disgusting. But when you piss on a dead man, you lose the moral high ground. It's not about political correctness as much as it's about common human decency. I don't see much of that from folks purported to be pious.

Tranny eductation isn't really my crusade. Not quite sure why you find it so fascinating.

At this point, Beane should consider kicking the tires on Cogs. Would probably be his best "addition."
