The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
Taro T replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Theodore Geisel's estate must be held accountable! -
Wonder if any of them ever step back and ask why when they do objectively present information that the interpretation of events that they come away with isn't the same as a significant portion of their audience/ the public? If not, why not? Shouldn't they be interested in WHY they feel (yes, that word was chosen intentionally) the need to spin what could/ should be presented objectively? If their interpretation of events is correct, shouldn't the events speak for themselves and others will come to that same conclusion? And regardless of which side of an issue someone believes they're on, if they can access the source material they can take the spin out entirely.

Danny Smith was sooooo bad, especially following in the footsteps of DeHaven. It's a close call as to which was worse. And, considering his lack of getting canned by Wade Phillips ushered in the Greggo Williams tear down of the defense, a case can be made Castillo only ranks 2nd.

Figured he'd last until the 1st cut down day (only because he was still here, not that he should've been here). Guess that false start and then being responsible for the linebacker that came late and ran right behind him was finally enough. It's a good day.

OT - GateHouse Media buys Gannett
Taro T replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Wonder if they'd give a discount combining a (Canandaigua) Messenger subscription W/ a D&C one? Used to get both, but the D&C was just too expensive compared to the Messenger to continue justifying the subscription. Though the D&C Sunday business section is missed. That was good. (But kind of redundant W/ the RBJ.) -
What is better, no guns, or more guns?
Taro T replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Ah, yes, the call for "common sense" gun laws. That phrase would carry more weight were most of the National stage politicians that liberals / progressives support not nut cases themselves. And the "other side completely refuses to discuss the issue.". -
What is better, no guns, or more guns?
Taro T replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This in large part. There are enough on the "stronger gun control" movement side that have admitted that their goal is a total gun ban in the past that there is extremely little trust of them from the other side. Perhaps, if that side proposed actual legislation that ONLY included items such as better gun safety education and we saw how that actually got enforced and whether that was effective, then we might have a basis for deciding how / whether to bring additional modifications to existing gun laws. It also might help build trust across the sides if new legislation proposals weren't reflexively in reaction to a hyped shooting &/or if there was an acknowledgement that there are a lot of gun laws already on the books. IMHO, the biggest impediments to solving the problem of mass shootings is a lack of trust from both sides and an insistence of looking for major sweeping changes to one aspect of a multifaceted problem primarily when emotions are raw eroding even more trust. -

Hadn't been to any of the other practices, but had read all the reports that Allen was looking good this camp, and was really looking forward to seeing how he'd improved. He looked good in the 1v1 drills, but was very underwhelming in the 11v11 portion. And was glad to read that people who were at all 5 or 6 other practices said he looked much worse today than he had previously. Because today was not good. So am more hopeful for the season now than when walking out of Polisini Stadium. At least 90% of the 11v11 drills were from inside the 10, so almost any completion was going to be a TD. (And pretty sure 3 of those 5 TDs were little 2 yard crossing routes that the receiver ( at least twice Beasley) took the 6 yards himself. But Oliver was dominant. And Poyer had a serious hit on a "welcome to the NFL kid" shot on Singletary. 'Pads, we don't need no stinking pads.' Ray Ray was pretty noticeable too. And Singletary will be a good one.

Russia doesn't have access to an open warm water port. Thus not questioning your contention about Russia. But, China ...

China's landlocked? Since when?

Well, in fairness, if the people pushing their children towards transgenderism are perfectly successful, at least THEIR own children won't be breeding. Which, in the grand scheme, is probably for the best.

Global warming err Climate change HOAX
Taro T replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
OK. The Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy sure. But how will fossil fuel consumption on Earth effect anything further out? That seems a wee tad preposterous. ? -
He clearly told you to have STUPID arguments about QBs, not to recreate the most monumental argument since "tastes great" / "less filling." ?

Should he actually leave, quite certain that his replacement will be identified as being the closest thing to an actual Hitler since Ratcliffe, who was the closest thing to Hitler since Barr, who was the closest thing to Hitler since ...

Not being able to access more than simply the 1st page of that paper, so this is likely answered, but WTF are these Dr's smoking? (This certainly won't be the right answer because how can somebody's perceptions be incorrect ) but how about rather than wanting to permanently incapacitate these people they discuss in the paper, they actually treat their mental illnesses successfully enough that the patients don't want to be crippled?

But the smugness is worth every cent to many.

Must be "fake news." Everybody KNOWS that 45 & his administration luvs them some white supremacists. Couldn't possibly be true.

Considering that even ABC and CNN were saying the hearings did not go well for the Impeach Trump crowd, it would appear that Nadler was correct and the hearings were an inflection point. Pretty sure though, he won't like the new direction of events should he be correct that an inflection point was reached.

IF they truly believe he committed high crimes and misdemeanors then they have a duty to the country to impeach him. If they truly believe he is in Putin's back pocket, they owe it to us to stop him by legal means. But, they aren't going to do so. So, are they full of Schiff or are they in Putin's back pocket as well?

Yep. Also, if he were colluding with Russia wouldn't it make sense that at least 1 other person that wasn't President, and thus indictable, would have been colluding with him? So, where are those indictments? Yep. At a minimum he should've been able to recommend impeachment hearings had he found evidence of conspiring with the Russian govenment.
