Watergate is 50 yrs old.
Niagara Bill replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Maybe Reagan is close, but I agree. -
This week, 50 yrs ago, a couple of crazed Cubans, close friends of H. Howard Hunt (of grassy knoll fame), for a few 100 dollar bills, decided to party at the Watergate late one evening. The beginning of the end for Richard Millhouse. While IMHO, Nixon was otherwise a great Prez, he was at least honorable, respected the law even while violating it. In the end he loved his country and did what was best. (He was loved by many, including Alex P. Keaton.) Real press did their jobs. Many experienced Deep Throat's commitment long before the Lewinsky theory. An era when it was natural not to lie, not to make up alternate theories. When WH counsel John Dean worried about being believed as he told the truth. Nixon should have gone into history as a great Prez. In my mind, he was.

Health is the equalizer. Players who cannot stay on field are harmful to the team and our good young players who get picked up by other teams.

Josh Allen is Rob Johnson's doppelgänger
Niagara Bill replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sitting in row 23 behind Bills bench one late fall game. Temp was 25/27 degrees. Ball was around 20 years line. Time out called. Coaches walked a few yds onto field as RJ jogged over. He went around them to find his coat. He wasted 10 seconds for 15 seconds of personal comfort. His teammates stood in the cold (not real cold for sure, but dull day), his coaches and waited. No leadership. He was not concentrating on the game. He should never even been thinking about the weather. It really matter little and had minimal effect. It was just a selfish display. I turned to my son and said...he can never be a leader of men. Personal comfort was most important...career over. He had an arm, could run, but the challenge was too much. -

I hated Flutie and now I know I was right. JOHNSON, HE THE MAN. -
What is better, no guns, or more guns?
Niagara Bill replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well let's try this experiment. Next State if the Union address let's give all congressmen and Senators loaded guns along with all guests. Let's see the wild west take place. Let's see Greene and Cortez. You see, Canada like the rest of the world are non violent societies for the most part. Canada has lots of illegal guns smuggled by gangs and indigenous people from the US making some citizens concerned, but the would be no more than 5% of citizens. Safety comes with common respect not the OK corral. Canadian law enforcement like Engkand prided themselves in law and order with reason. US system developed from Wyatt Earp style, survival of the finest.😀 Now all you guys don't over react...just stop and think a moment. -
For sure. The Afghan gum is getting stale, the world has limited attention span, political will drops, and new crisis hits the front page. Maybe in the end it is better for a solution under the radar.
-
I agree, but these types of crisis happen around the world and Ukraine is more important in status, TODAY. The people who die every day in US are people too. Likely more die daily from drugs than in Afghanistan.
-
Let's have a show of hands for those who care! It's a dead subject for most of the world. A dust bowl who kept Russia and America busy for 40 yrs. Billions of dollars and many lives. Afghan drugs have killed too many lives. Just another way of looking at the problem. If Afghanistan cared about US they would stop drug trade. If the US cared they would stop the drug trade. So whose humanitarian crisis is this?

Come on Btime, they can write all the laws but nothing will change. There will be loop holes and an illegal market will develope because the business of gun production is big business. Drugs are illegal and every school is filled with them and many more kids die from drugs. Nobody cares. The Right creates courts that are too tough at times putting everyone in prison and lifelong criminals, and the Left too lenient on drug, guns immigration and gangs. This is far more complicated than banning a gun and a phoney background check. Consider the US has the biggest gun problem and drug problem on the planet... -
I read and comprehend your rants when they are coherent, but they usually end with you insulting someone because you disagree or turning on the curse of religion. Debating with btime is a waste of time. You expect to influence him? That like debating the late Rhino who was reassigned by Putin. Hilary is not pure, just like Bill C. We are 6 yrs past Hilary...let it go. Trump certainly is not pure and a case can be made for him trying to be a dictator. He continues to try and be relevant, so he is fair fame.

Now we are debating the obvious. A waste of time, sorry. If you love Putin...well If not, it matters little what you call him. People who live in Russia know the communists run the place. I have no further interest in wasting energy on this debate with you. Burgundy, Pinot Noir, Chablis, Chardonnay...
