Eskimos nothing. Wait 'til the Bills make the playoffs again.....

I managed to miss the entire preseason so that game was my first look at him. I'm not going to rag on the guy anymore because I guarantee he's more upset about it than I am. I'm just hoping that is/was the worst outing he ever has on a ballfield because if it's a fair representation of his abilities, he's simply not cut out to play football at this level. If that's the case, then I'll just give him props for carrying a limited set of skills as far as he did.

You should acquaint yourself with the term "figure of speech". It may serve to spare you from future spells of misplaced literaria. I would also suggest that you acquaint yourself with the term literaria, but unfortunately I just made it up. And when you've completed your homework, if you have one of those DVR thingamajiggers watch the 4th qrtr of that game again. Key on the Bill's interior OLine and watch how many times a brilliant call from Lynn was utterly eviscerated by Groy's gawdawful stumbling,flailing attempts to complete even the most basic assignments. Especially if I was in it!

I won't argue the sentiment, but I will point out that if Wood doesn't go down when he did, I bet my house that Anthony Lynn ends up winning us that game in the 4th quarter.

We clearly need to have a serious discussion regarding end of life care and its associated costs. So, I think Sarah would be an outstanding Death Panel Czar...

Maybe he should read Boulle's other great work for some perspective on how the real world can manifest itself if you spend too much time with your head in the sand.

I wonder if these self-destructive pinheads are capable of listening to anybody. I also wonder if Bernie taking a shot at it might settle this thing down before it gets any stupider?

I think that was a pretty mutual FU from both sides well before Michelle picked out any drapes

I got zero straight man skillz but at this point, what difference does it really make?

The original post I was responding to said exactly that. "Imagine the shock when trump starts utilizing the authoritarian tools BO created?" That's what I was responding to. He used fewer executive orders and singing statements but added more Federal Regulations than previous administrations. But to say that he created these things is an implication that he was pulling shlt that previous administrations had never done, but which they had actually been doing very regularly for decades. Saying things that are clearly not true for no other purpose than to delegitimize your opponent is a huge reason we are so pointlessly entrenched and incapable of taking care of our business. Our government has already reached the point of utter farce and if we continue wasting our time and effort on pointless nonsense like making up lies to insult each other, we are eventually going to reach the point of legitimate dysfunction. And if you combine a fully dysfunctional government with a bankrupt, decaying culture and a deficit we soon wont be able to service, you've just mixed up the ingredients for a bitter End of Empire stew. Stopping the practice of being self-serving liars just seems like a pretty painless way to try and start this thing going back the other way from an ugly downhill ride so I tried to introduce some truth to an inaccuracy. If I wasn't acutely aware of your overriding addiction to partisan tomfoolery, I'd have significant questions about your reading comprehension.

No, it was more of her saying that as a woman she knows they're all nucking futs, and that she would never vote for one to lead the country. Although a note on the potential of a cat fight: my wife actually teaches kickboxing and she would mangle Hillary. If she had a go with Trump it would probably come off at 6/5 odds.

I assume they felt that needed to do something along those lines to help secure the religious right; probably because it was a coin flip whether trump himself was naturally going to alienate them. One bit of relief I have is that this administration doesn't give me the sense that it's going to be loaded with theocrats.

I imagine there were several thousand of them. I also imagine there were several thousand of them added by a multitude of previous administrations. The point being that this wasn't something created by the Obama administration

I had sort of an illuminating moment after my wife and I voted yesterday. When we were coming out she told me that she voted for Trump because no woman in her right mind would ever want a woman to be president

"Imagine the shock when trump starts utilizing the authoritarian tools BO created?" That was the post I was responding to

I'm assuming you're referring to Dodd-Frank but I have neither the experience nor facility to debate that with ya. My point was that it's absurd to suggest this was some kind of new creation by a powermad administration. It's just hyperbolic fantasy that weakens you in the long run

Doh! Just realized you guys were talking about Federal Regulations and not Foreign Relations. It was an uptick from previous administrations, but again suggesting that he somehow created this is weak sauce

He's issued about 1/4 as many signing statements as his predecessor And probably every president for the last half century has had a cabinet loaded with CFR guys Implying he's been creating authoritarian rules out of thin air is worth its weight in pyrite

Wow, that's damning stuff. He had a pen and a phone and signed fewer executive orders per term than any of his predecessors all the way back to like Kennedy. Making shlt up to demonize your opposition only weakens you; you know, sort of like it just did to the Dems for the last 5 years.

Common man, have some respect for yourself

We're using a 15 year old AUMF to wage war on a group that didn't even exist 15 years ago. I'm a little hesitant to make any assumptions about what our federal govt is or isn't capable of.

Many of you people do yourself a significant disservice with your constant cries for victimhood. It makes you sound identical to those liberals you claim to despise but so often resemble.

I think it might have if the Dems had somehow managed to swipe the Senate, but this particular group without a clearly defined sense of boundaries just gives me the willies.

Chef is about 6 minutes faster than you; probably because his favorite appliance is a microwave

That's got an Occams' sensibility to it, but as flat-out strange as this whole thing has already been, I've still got some trepidation that things could get sideways real quick right after the inaugural victory rush.
