UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
ComradeKayAdams replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Fair enough, Leh-nerd. I did enjoy your “astute” remark and the BMI compliments! A +1 rep boost for you! It’s only a “like” reaction and not an “awesome” reaction, however, because I only counted these 2 distinct compliments when I was kinda hoping for a compliment tally more in the 5+ range from you... But getting back on topic, let’s now briefly review La Commie Kay’s outline of what SHOULD be done (but obviously won’t): 1. Stop attacking Iran. 2. Lift all economic sanctions on Iran. 3. Negotiate a JCPOA v2.0 deal with Iran. 4. Encourage internal revolt and regime change within Iran. 5. Arrange a permanent ceasefire and full hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas. 6. Send Bibi, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and the rest of Israel’s government leaders to The Hague for their war crimes. 7. Send Hamas military leadership to The Hague for their war crimes. 8. Lead an international coalition to guide a new single Israel-Palestine country, with full and equal rights for all, regardless of ethnicity or religion. P.S.: 24.8 BMI is actually pretty good! Don’t forget that muscle weighs more than fat, so I think BMI as a health metric can sometimes be misleading for guys. But you gotta go 100% whole-food plant-based if you want to drive from Fat Boy City to Slender Man Town! P.S.P.S.: WTF is a “cassette deck,” bruh?? Is that a device situated alongside your rotary phone, typewriter, and cathode ray TV?? (P.S.)^3: The rapper spells his name as “Eminem.” You were thinking of the candy, “M & M’s.” Typical 20’s BMI’er…always thinking about junk food… Even lesser known fact: John Lennon’s first draft to those original lyrics predicted the internet, Two Bills Drive, and our political debates all in one!! He was so far ahead of his time because he could LITERALLY see half a century into the future! Lennon, however, probably correctly assumed that the people would fear his powers of omniscience. So he promptly threw this first draft into the trash bin, to be forever forgotten by history, until now… Imagine there’s no Leh-nerd. It’s easy if you try. No conservative poster With a 24.8 BMI. Imagine all of PPP Havin’ more of their say. Ah-ha-aaah… Imagine there’s no Leh-nerd. It isn’t hard to do. No one for Kay to bully And to claim smells like poo. Imagine all of PPP Lookin’ less obese. You-oo-oooh… You may say Kay’s a dreamer, But she’s not the only one. Muppy has her own opinion, “Ugh. With his MAGA rants I’m done.” Imagine there’s no Leh-nerd. I wonder if you can? Fewer non-sequiturs and whataboutisms, As if a moderator ban. Imagine all of PPP Sans Leh-nerd’s thoughts unfurled. You-oo-oooh… You may say Kay’s a dreamer, But she’s not the only one. Muppy once more opines, “Meh. His verbose opinions had a good run.” -

How many wins do the Bills get without Josh?
DCofNC replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Take away JA17 and this is a 5-6 win team if you are being objective. The OL is the only unit on the team that is above average and it’s certain that JA pads their stats a little by being nearly impossible to sack. The WRs are a pathetically weak group, TEs are average (with potential for better), RBs are good, but again, make them the focal point by taking away JA, they aren’t carrying anything. The defense is mediocre against good teams and if teams felt comfortable running and imposing their will, not fearing JA putting 30+ on them, they get mauled. I have hopes for the DL being better and helping the LBs be able to move around and be effective again. Thats all speculation at this point and the secondary is a huge question mark, we know of exactly two guys who would be starters on other teams. Maybe the draft has made that better, maybe not. JA makes this team, it’s not a question and it’s not debatable in my eyes. He IS the most VALUABLE player to any team in the league. I feel he is worth 2-3 more wins than Mahomes is to KC and I’d say 4-5 more than Jackson for Baltimore. Baltimore was still reasonable before Henry, with guys that can’t even win back up jobs now.- 116 replies

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
Homelander replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Ah yes, the “tourist visit” defense because real tourists smash windows, attack cops, get killed and call for hanging the vice president. The actual video evidence shows violence, broken barricades, and over 1,600 federal charges. But sure, blame it all on “a handful.” And spare me the fear-mongering word salad about immigrants. You can't defend an actual insurrection, so you pivot to cartoonish lies about "protecting rapists" and “Chinese dark money.” It’s all deflection - lazy and not fooling anyone. Being this deep into conspiracyland must be exhausting. Let me know when you come back to reality. -
Draisaitl with the redemption in OT, after blowing the chance to make it 5-3 with 3 minutes to go in regulation. When he didn't score there, I feared it was a sign they would lose, then when Florida tied it with 19 seconds, yikes......thankfully they were able to complete the comeback. Aside from Game 3, this has really been a fun series to watch!

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
Mikie2times replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Iran's people live under a regime that commits unspeakable atrocities. A large part of Iranian people love the US and many come here and live in Southern California area (LEGALLY) I don't think I have met any short of an MBA. Very intelligent, hard working, friendly people. They just want to be able visit home at some point without fear of retribution for coming here. Obviously Iran is neighbors with Israel and Iranl has been threatening nuclear action for a long time. Trump has shown a strong focus on trying to negotiate with Iran and I think that scares Israel as they ultimately don't trust Iran's regime to ever hold up to an agreement. Israel would rather handle this with military intervention and remove the regime as that is really the only way to long term peace. That is also what the majority of the Iranian people want. But we will see further talks between the US and Iran Sunday, so it's just an interesting and complicated situation. I think Trump really wants to cut a deal as conflict in that region isn't what he wants to see. Israel doesn't want him to cut a deal because if he does they likely won't have the freedom to use force as we saw today. But Israel also can't stand in the way of a deal or sabotage it with it's relationship with the US. Most of these views are from a few Iranians I spoke with today regarding the bombing with family in Iran. So I trust these view points. -

Big Blitz replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Summarized - 25 years of Neo con Uni party foreign policy led to Iran today. That one act did more to set back non-proliferation than potentially any single event in modern history, and yet we are told by the same neocons who designed, demanded, and executed it to trust them when it comes to Iran policy. Iraq showed that American intelligence was not to be believed, Libya showed that America and NATO were not to be trusted, and Afghanistan showed that America was not to be feared. These are the fruits of neocon American foreign policy over the last quarter-century. If you want the next twenty-five years to look any different, you’d be well advised to do the opposite of whatever the neocons demand. And right now, they’re demanding war with Iran. -
The Cowboys, Overexposed? Maybe. Overrated? .... You Decide
Mister Defense replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
Does not make sense--they cannot be a top ten team if they have not had almost any playoff success. And they have a dismal record, especially the last few years, against the good teams during the regular season. They have put no fear in almost any good teams, and that is especially true of teams with good defenses. Prescott almost always looks lost, confused, with the old adage, "like a deer in the headlights", an accurate image of poor ol' Zak whenever he faces a good defense. While I do like some of their off season moves this year, such as the acquisition of Pickens, Jones has been a mess as their GM since Jimmy, a true football guy, left in the 1990s. Dallas will never be a fully loaded talented team until Jones gives control of the girls to a real football man--again. One way or another. Top 20 team, maybe, but not a top ten team in the league now or recently. -
Trump Speaks at Fort Bragg, and the Press Loses Its Mind David Manney This is what it always comes back to with these people: Trump says something bold, the media howls “dictator,” and the rest of us are left scratching our heads, wondering how we got from a speech to a constitutional crisis. Take Fort Bragg. President Trump stood in front of American soldiers and delivered a hard-hitting, no-apologies speech. He talked about law and order. He criticized liberal-run cities. He called out the dysfunction we all see every day. But because he did it in front of our military, MSNBC melted into a puddle of Cold War-era paranoia. “Civil war,” they cried. “Militarizing politics.” You’d think he rode in on a tank. Trump didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t give orders. What he provided was an honest assessment of the mess that Democratic leaders have created and how their failures hit hardest on working Americans and service members alike. He called out crime, border chaos, and the soft, focus-group language that passes for leadership in D.C. He reminded the troops they serve a country worth fighting for, not just one worth apologizing for. That used to be standard fare. Now it’s fascism, apparently. Funny how the goalposts move. Meanwhile, Joe Biden Defied the Court and Laughs About It Remember the student loan saga? The Supreme Court ruled against Biden’s sweeping forgiveness plan, saying it flat-out violated the law. Six justices said no. End of story. Except it wasn’t. Biden didn’t pause or pivot quietly. He took a victory lap. “The Supreme Court blocked it. But that didn’t stop me,” he said with a smile. That wasn’t a slip. That was the sales pitch. He defied a legal decision on camera and got applauded for it by the very people now clutching their pearls over Trump giving a speech. Let that sink in. {snip} So, let’s not pretend MSNBC is worried about democracy. They’re afraid their team might lose power. That’s what this is about. The Numbers Don’t Lie Let’s count it up. Trump: Tariffs and immigration enforcement, blocked by courts. Faced multiple legal losses. Never told the public, “They can’t stop me.” Biden: Student loan bailout blocked. He bragged he’d do it anyway. Title IX rule changes flagged by judges kept going. Vaccine mandates were ruled unlawful, but enforcement dragged on. Both have clashed with courts. Only one turned it into a punchline. This Isn’t About the Speech. It’s About the Setting What really set MSNBC off wasn’t what Trump said. It was where he said it. Fort Bragg. Military backdrop. Patriotic crowd. That’s what made their alarms start blaring. Because when Trump speaks in that kind of setting, he connects. He reminds people, especially those in uniform, that someone still notices them. Still sees their sacrifice. Still believes in the country they serve. And that terrifies the ruling class. They want the military to serve as a neutral backdrop for a photo opportunity. Not a crowd that cheers when a president points out the rot at the top. The Left Doesn’t Want Unity. They Want Submission Biden can bend the Constitution like taffy and get praised for “trying.” Trump talks tough and gets accused of marching us toward martial law. This is narrative warfare. Always has been. They’re not scared of Trump using troops. They’re afraid of troops agreeing with him. They don’t fear tanks. They fear applause. And so they write these tortured screeds about how “democracy is in danger” when what’s actually in danger is their grip on the narrative.

Prominent Transgender Activist Announces She is DETRANSITIONING & Gender Cultists MELT DOWN For anyone who has studied cults, like yours truly, there is ZERO doubt whatsoever that the gender ideology being pushed by the Left (and more than a few Democrats) is one hundred percent a cult, and boy howdy do the followers revile and attack those who leave the cult. Or simply question the cult. Or have doubts and concerns. The latest to escape this cult is someone we've actually written about here at Twitchy at least once before. Well, at least peripherally. 'The P*ssed Off Lawyer,' a transgender activist (woman who identified as a man), has 'come out' and is de-transitioning. She recently came under fire for daring to question the tactics of the transgender movement and its supporters, so this news came as a major shock. As you, Dear Readers, would expect, the leftists entrenched in this cult have been throwing a temper tantrum and responded to Hendrix with viciousness and irrational anger. Also similar to other prominent cults throughout history, there is an unreasonable and irrational fear about everything that exists outside of the cult, i.e. the left's favorite boogeyman: 'ThE fAsCiSt RiGhT.' We've been screeched at for several years now that merely adhering to biological reality is literally a genocide against transgender individuals because, remember, words are literal violence in the minds of these cult members. https://twitchy.com/laura-w/2025/06/11/pol-detransitioning-n2414127

Again, currently his 4.9 ypc would place him in the top 10 in nfl history. In 2023, he was 6th in total yards from scrimmage. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-yards-from-scrimmage-leaders-2023 is he Barkley or Henry? No. But he is only legit game breaker on this entire offense besides Allen. It is quite an assumption to assume Davis (who averaged a full yard less per carry when backups normally average more than the starters because they got against tired defenses) and Ty Johnson (there’s a reason he’s bounced around) can fill Cook’s shoes. He’s been a great draft pick no matter how some fans try to downplay his success. I don’t disagree but there’s some double standards. When we talked about Allen’s MVP case, everyone downplayed all the pieces around him. Now when it’s Cook, people love mentioning the o line. I would counter that Allen and Cook are helped a lot by the oline and each other. Additionally, I think our WRs hurt them both because teams don’t fear getting beat deep so they play the line closer than they should with a guy like Allen’s arm.

Is trump demented or lying thru his teeth again? https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/newsom-fears-trumps-mental-state-35371199 From US Army techniques publication cited above Continental United States Versus Outside the Continental United States 2-4. For the U.S. Army, conducting civil disturbance missions within the United States. will vary greatly when compared to conducting civil disturbance missions within a foreign country where the U.S. Army is conducting operations. Except as expressly authorized by the Constitution of the United States or by another act of Congress, the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385) prohibits the use of the Active Army as enforcement officials to execute state or federal law and perform direct law enforcement functions within CONUS.

Yeah that was what I saw at Florida State. We've discussed it before. If you've played or just watched a lot of hoops you see it. It's not all bad. One of the reasons he's so great with YAC is because that close proximity and his feel for the contact prevents DB's from being able to break down to tackle him. That definitely, naturally plays better from the slot. By contrast, Davante Adams mixes up his game by threatening DB's using close proximity for those embarrassing back shoulder and late hands catches........the fear of those allows him to set them up and create separation on others. Coleman was a long way away from doing anything like that at the end of the season though. There is a horrible offensive series in second quarter of the AFCCG where Allen throws a tick behind Kincaid and he can't make the semi-contested catch, then Allen throws an ankle ball to a wide open Samuel who is less than 10 air yards away.............and then on 3rd and long Coleman runs a just terrible, brain-dead go route down the sideline right into McDuffie and the drive is over. All the Bills problems in the passing game exposed in one sequence. That was probably my lowest point in the Coleman experience last year. My hope is he comes back a greatly changed player. A full, healthy offseason to focus on football leaves little excuse for him to not make huge strides.

The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:
Homelander replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The irony? MAGA’s still coming to terms with the fact that they’ve become exactly what they feared - the deep state. -
Yeah, they lost Joe Burrow for the season in early November 2023. Injuries and a slow start derailed them early. They were one of the hottest teams in the league down the stretch. One of only a couple that I truly feared us playing. In large part bc of their Offensive firepower.

While Cook's leverage may not be as good as next season, the motivation to hold out is because his numbers won't be better. The Bills plan is to use Cook the same as last season, and the same RB room is back intact. TDs are kind of a fluke, and Cook may not get as many as last year. For those who play FF you would not expect much, if any, increase in points. So the fear for me is if you believe the above ,what is the reason for playing this year? The "hold-in" for 11 games and get the money you would based on last years numbers - should get you over $12m/yr and a big pile of guaranteed money (around $20M). Sacrafice most of the $5M now (and risk of injury) for the payday next year.

Los Angeles under military attack
The Frankish Reich replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Law prof Steve Vladeck (read his Substack! He's great. Written for lawyers but understandable by informed non-lawyers) provides a little sanity here: There are a lot of misunderstandings and misinformation out there about what Trump has and hasn’t done, and given that I’ve covered these topics before, it seemed worth a quick explainer on why this move is a big deal—but why it also is not as drastic an escalation (or abuse) as many had feared, at least not yet. The TL;DR here is that Trump has not (yet) invoked the Insurrection Act, which means that the 2000 additional troops that will soon be brought to bear will not be allowed to engage in ordinary law enforcement activities without violating a different law—the Posse Comitatus Act. All that these troops will be able to do is provide a form of force protection and other logistical support for ICE personnel. Whether that, in turn, leads to further escalation is the bigger issue (and, indeed, may be the very purpose of their deployment). But at least as I’m writing this, we’re not there yet. That's a critical point. Right now, the National Guard troops cannot engage in law enforcement activities. They are limited to a support role. Use of the Insurrection Act would bring us into a whole new era. Let's hope we don't get there. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/156-federalizing-the-california-national -
Trump is following the authoritarian playbook very well. He's successfully created an "enemy" in all people of Hispanic or Latin American origin. He's pushed them with his ICE gestapo to fight back. It works because old people and rurals are terrified of change. They fear anything different. Now, he's got a route to start crushing protests with the military. This will lead to more protests, which Trump can then use more troops on. Eventually, he's going to have a route to use the Insurrection Act and really crack down. How funny that the party of "small government" cheers it on! It will be rough. But liberalism will win. It always does.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted
B-Man replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What the Media Won’t Dare Show You About the Anti-ICE Riots Sarah Arnold Here’s the truth, and the truth you won’t get from watching mainstream media about the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles: Democrat leaders have completely abandoned law enforcement while emboldening criminal illegal immigrants and demonizing the Trump administration and federal authorities trying to keep American communities safe. While streets turned violent and federal officers were under attack on Saturday, Democrat politicians stayed silent, or worse, blamed the chaos on those trying to uphold the law. However, don’t expect CNN or The New York Times to report that. With local and state officials refusing to do their jobs, President Donald Trump was once again forced to step in and take matters into his own hands by calling in the National Guard to fight back against the violent protestors. In one incident posted on social media, anti-ICE protestors can be seen attempting to pull federal agents from their vehicles while throwing objects at them. {snip} However, this is what the leftist media, such as MSNBC, will report on. During Saturday's live coverage, MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff accused ICE of "striking fear into the heart of people all throughout this community." He said people are "very" upset that President Donald Trump is following through on his promises by removing criminal illegal immigrants from American communities. According to him, Trump’s deportation efforts are met with intolerance on the streets of Los Angeles, where ICE raids are seen as unnecessary tactics to create chaos and fear. He claimed the raids target "ordinary" people, spreading a "massive" sense of fear. (Sounds like what Roundy and Thurmal are parroting, no ?) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/07/what-the-media-wont-show-you-regarding-the-anti-ice-riots-n2658374
