The often used tactic among right wingers is to find some extreme example on the left and claim that it represents the Democratic Party. I see it on this board all the time. It’s what Fox News does as well as politicians. Both parties have their own extremes and the Republicans now have Santos. If Hillary is a known enabler of sexual predation then certainly Jim Jordan is with his actions at Ohio State. I won’t defend Bill, but obviously there is a long list of powerful politicians on both sides of the isle who have had affairs while being married, starting with the orange guy. Many politicians have “embellished their resume” but Santos completely invented his. Like no one even knows who this guy is and where he worked prior to his political campaign. Somehow he instantly got very wealthy just before running for office. There should be some law against such fabrication of one’s background but apparently there isn’t. A lot of our democracy depends upon some basic level of trust and truth telling. Trump smashed that concept to bits… and now we get Santos.

This is all a game for Santos. The dude is clueless and is just happy getting his $174,000 salary. He can’t believe everyone bought his bs. Does anyone know what his actual work experience is? What a joke. What a perfect example of the R party today.

Interesting historical perspective from 76 yrs ago.

McDermott deserves Coach of the Year to guide this team through such adversity. So much of it is beyond normal football stuff.

On Sunday Bills medical staff should be announced by name and lead team onto the field. They deserve recognition for all they have done.

These radical obstructionists are more interested in being social media stars than in governing. They are not conservatives because they believe in conservative policies or principles. They are politicians because they enjoy the media spotlight. If they can make chaos, they can get media attention. They would rather be the minority where they can throw stones with no responsibility to actually govern. To govern requires compromise and they are unwilling to do that on even this simple vote for speaker. This situation is exactly why Boehner and Ryan resigned. At this point, McCarthy has given them so much power, I don’t know why anyone would want the job.

With all the adversity this team and community have been through, it has all forged a tighter bond within the team and between the community and the team. They have both leaned on each other to get through trying times this year. This team is something special. However and whenever this season ends, I think there is going to be an outpouring of love and appreciation towards the team.

What I don’t get is why these 20 R holdouts hate McCarthy so much? Sounds like he has offered them about everything he can. Is he not extreme enough for them? They are unwilling to even follow Trumps recommendation on this.

The prelude to a civil war over slavery.

McCarthy loses again on 6th vote. Looks like we have a long way to go to get high on this list.

Hi Leh-nerd. I’m here and fine. I’m more of a reader than poster. I enjoy your responses. It’s nice that people with unlike minds get to hash out issues here.

Interesting… sounds like they are fighting over who gets to control the investigation of the FBI. What a circus. Picture Paul Gosar leading an investigation of the FBI. This is the kind of craziness coming.

Well, it looks like we will have 2 years of chaos ahead if this is how republicans intend to govern. Those 19 Rs aren’t interested in governing; only in making chaos to show their supporters that they are the real fighters. They have no policy agenda. The crazies are holding the party hostage. Maybe we are watching the start of a split in the Republican Party towards the creation of a third party.

Bob Costas was on tv tonight and thought the most likely scenario was that the game is never played and playoff seating is done using winning %.

CNN has Hamlin story on now

Agree 100%. If it isn’t the Bills this year, I’m rooting for Cinci all the way. There are so many connections, Cinci and us are like sibling rivals.

In the short view, they looked very evenly matched. Our D often clamps down after the first drive or two. I think turnovers would have decided the game.

Coy Wire on CNN now

Can’t play till they know he will survive.

He’s a warrior and leader of this defense. Hope he gets his ring this year. Time for theD line to shine tonight.

Reporting on NFL network says Poyer is playing.

Hey, at least we are starting 2023 in agreement on something. Cheers and happy new year to all. Go Bills!

I think this is the Josh Allen effect. He has become must see TV for football fans. He has a humble personality and his highlights like no one else in the game. He’s the ultimate underdog story. What couch potato fan doesn’t dream of being able to play like Allen? And with red white and blue as their colors, why not root for them?

You present an excellent counterpoint to this discussion. I appreciate it when someone actually presents something to back up their assertion. Bidens lies at the time were a scandal that voters wouldn’t accept, resulting in him being bounced from the race. The liberal media investigated it and held him accountable. It clearly was not deemed acceptable by the party or the media. The best thing for Republican Party and conservative media to do would be to aggressively investigate Santos and reject his candidacy.

Every single person has lied. That doesn’t mean all lies are equal or everyone who has lied is the same. There are degrees of severity in this department. Every parent knows this.
