    Deploy the dead chicken strategy for all in the corrupt uniparty who used lawfare. Make them taste it. They won't like it one bit. If you make them taste it enough maybe they'll be reluctant to go down this road again.

     

    Doubtful.  It'll just piss them off and they'll go harder on Trump or whatever other R next time.

     

    When the Ds flip the house in 2026, it will be wall to wall investigations with referrals to law enforcement and more impeachments. 

     

    We're just getting warmed up on this stuff. In politics whatever you use on the other side will surely come back on you.

  2. I was at a jam on Friday and we did this song.  I had not heard it in forever.   I was locked in and we nailed it.  Fun was had by all.

     

    This is what anti racism used to look like.

     

    The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then

    Makes no difference what group I'm in

     

    I am no better and neither are you

    We are the same whatever we do

    I am everyday people

     

    We got to live together

     

    Anyway, I love everything about this song.

  3. The US military has always been out front on race and gender.  Way back in the Civil War the Union had a black fighting unit to the behest of many in the Army and out.  Same with the black units in WW II. Same with women when they began joining the military in WW I.  Then in the late 90s it was not popular when they started letting homosexuals in.

     

    So I'm not sure why anyone is surprised the military would act in this way.

  4. Bill has had Neil on his show a few times.  Although a lot of people rail on about smart he is I wouldn't know it from the way he talks. He doesn't answer questions asked.  He interrupts and makes silly jokes.  He thinks he's funny.

     

    I'm not saying he's not brilliant in astro physics or whatever. And I'm not gonna read his book.   Maybe he's just not a good communicator.

    So, if he cuts spending which helps the deficit, makes the economy better, makes America safer, secures the borders and helps cool the tempers of the middle east. BUT, still uses the jet that much, are you still going to see it as a problem?

     

    Depends on what gets cut. If as is rumored, the VA health system is gutted then no. Privatizing or something to that effect to the national parks would be a no. Securing the border would be great.  Some modicum of peace in the middle east too would be great.

    To answer your question, no, it’s not something that bothers me.  I tend to stay away from criticism of presidents golfing, on vacation, etc.  I do criticize hypocrisy on issues for climate change warriors and massive carbon footprints, and I can understand your perspective here as it relates to AF1 and govt inefficiency. 
     

    A reasonable compromise between “A president can never travel for personal reasons” and “Abuse of system” is probably fair.  

     

    I would agree that these types of programs should be cut.  But we're talking 2 mil for both programs.  That's 4 or 5 hours operating Air Force One.  Stopping every weekend trips to Florida would save a few billion.  It's low hanging fruit.  If we're serious about cutting waste, A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money.

     

    I think your compromise would be fair.

  6. I have 2 coaching observations about Buffalo out coaching KC.

     

    1. Why only 14 runs for Hunt?  When you go against a team bad at run D, you run it until they can stop it if they can. Or at least give them a heavy dose.  I believe they beat us a couple of years ago doing just that.  I kept expecting them to start doing it especially in the 2nd half but they never did.  He was getting 4.29 A pop but only 14 carries and only 17 to all backs.  A demerit for KC coaching.

     

    2. Our D was amazing. Pat sacked twice and picked twice.  He was running for his life. Usually he gets a little heat on him and h runs around and buys ample time or takes off running into an empty field. That was taken away.  One play I believe on the last drive he dropped back and the heat was coming on so he looked over to his left to his dump off guy and he was covered so he had to run to his right and was either sacked or threw an incompletion.     We were prepared for Pat's nonsense. A huge plus for Buffalo coaching.

    Yeah but let’s not forget that can create issues with the Netflix account.  Next thing you know Melania is on the hot line from Mara Lago trying to watch Lincoln Lawyer, Zelensky on line 2 and sh8t can go south fast. 
     

     

     

    Yeah, that's pretty funny I guess.

     

    Does it bother anyone else that the Presidents of America abuse Air Force One regularly?  The tax payer s are funding weekly trips to Florida.  And its not just President Trump. President Biden went back and forth to Delaware regular well. And Jill Biden flew it from Europe to the US and back to attend Hunter Biden's trial.  The taxpayers provide it for official business,not as a personal taxi based on his/her whim.

     

    If the President needs a little time off to relax etc, that's what Camp David is for and its only 65 miles away.

     

    To the Bidens credit, they weren't elected as budget cutters. Trump says he is.  So put a little skin in the game and stay put in DC and save us tax payers a billion or 2 or or 3 or its the government so probably easily 10 times that.

  8. I have an idea on how President Trump could save us citizens a lot of money.  Instead of flying Air Force One to Florida every weekend, just cool his jets (pun intended) at The White House. Everything he could possibly need is there.  He could practice his golf game on the fancy golf simulator he put in last time.  He could bowl a few lines at the on site bowling alley.  He could jog on Bill Clinton's jogging track.

     

    It costs $200,000 per hour to operate.  So at 8 hours flying time per trip times 52 times a year for 4 years comes to round$350,000,000.00.  That's just to operate the jet.  Throw in secret service hours,runway fees, food, etc and we're probably talking over $1,000,000,000.00.  That be a nice chunk of change to cut.  See if Elon and Vivek recommend this.

    Doesn't College have automatic reviews from the Press Box?

     

    They should do that.

     

    Please don't do what college does. Seems they review everything and they take 2-3 minutes to decide anything.  I find college games hard to watch due to this.

     

    If the replay refs can't figure it out in 30 seconds or less, obviously its not clear and obvious so go with the call on the field and keep

     The game moving.

     

    Also please do not get a geeked out with GPS chips on the football and players etc. Come on it's football, not a video game or something.

     

    The answer IMHO is to simplify the rules.  Catch the football and take 3 steps and its a catch regardless if he makes a "football move" whatever that is.  If a guy has possession of the football getting 2 feet in bounds, its a catch regardless if he "maintains possession throughout the process of the catch". Take out all the subjectivity.  Too much of that.  If holding can be called on every play, either call it on every play or change the rules to make the call more obvious and such that it doesn't happen on every play.

     

    The fact that they won't do this makes me wonder they don't want to so they can have the subjectivity to control the outcome if needed.  With gambling becoming a league sponsored activity it makes me more suspicious of that.
