I have seen that "story line" before and the ending has not been good.
Spot on. An end to the very worst trade in the history of the NFL. Firstly I do not see him suddenly metamorphosizing into an elite QB - he's had maybe 3 good games out of 19 for the Browns. Talk of him suddenly becoming very good/elite during the offseason is a bit like Browns fans thinking they are going to the SB after free agency and the draft ... it's based on emotion and fandom, not anything to do with reality. Maybe Monken's offense will suit him more? Chuck it up and be aggressive? But that would onlyu highlight the stupidity of trading for Watson with our offense being Stefanski's.
Yes - but even though the scale of this is unprecedented, even though the level of corruption right in front of us is at a level that is unprecedented ... we should probably focus on the Dems and label this as something all politicians do. We don't want our Boy Trump getting too much attention with observable facts that damn him.
1.They did remove the cameras. No suspected nuclear enrichment sites were ever kept from inspections. Military bases are not nuclear enrichment sites. Now you are going beyond the scope of the agreement.
2. I gave you a factual account. You have claimed that isn't so. You have zero evidence to support that. Once again you simply say that sometimes memories can be inaccurate as some weak azz argument.

I've given numerous examples of you changing other people's words
3. Now you claim that not using the exact wording as someone else used is a lie. That's exactly what desperation looks like and certainly not evidence someone is lying.
You used the fact that Iran has said death to America as a reason on your list of reasons to justify a war. I get it. When someone cuts out the BS, fluff and empty hyperbole and gets to the crux of the matter you wish to label it deceptive or a lie.
So the leaders of other nations and top government officials of other countries are not "people" then? And don't even attempt to pretend that "people" don't fully understand global situations and understand the difference between war mongering and a need for war. I know you seem to think everyone but you is incapable of rational thoughts on complex issues but that's not true.
How many more? You haven't presented the first one yet. The examples you gave were just the perceptions you created in your own mind.
I think you missed your calling. You would have made a great defense attorney convincing jurors just how unreliable eye witnesses are.
1. Again you're just making stuff up. How do you know no suspected nuclear enrichment sites were ever kept from inspections? You don't. Here's a link showing suspected nuclear activities in the Parchin Military Complex link
Here's further evidence of Iran hindering investigations with mention of Parchin if you don't trust the first source. link
Yes, there are instances of Iran cooperating. There are many instances of them not, though. When you're only compliant when you want to be, you're non-compliant.
2. It can't be a factual account because it is now unverifiable. Again you don't seem to understand how facts work. It's hearsay at best. It's your account, but we all know how (un)reliable you are.
3. No, I don't claim one needs exact wording. One does need to at least maintain the meaning and not change the meaning to something they didn't say.
Yes, expressing intent is one of the many reasons I listed. I never claimed it was enough on its own.
Yes, leaders are people. Yet, the people I was talking about weren't leaders. You can't just mash together two separate ideas changing the meaning of both whenever you want to further your agenda.
Some people do have some understanding, some people don't. No one "fully" understands global situations. It's not possible. Everyone is operating from limited information. Some have more than others. Some are idiots that don't know what they don't know.
I don't think everyone is incapable of rational thought, you've just shown that you don't restrict yourself to it.
Thank you for the compliment. Helping people to understand that you are an unreliable witness is a pretty low bar, though.

DOJ quietly shelves Biden autopen investigation that Trump demanded
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed former President Joe Biden used an autopen without knowing the contents of what he signed.
The Justice Department shelved an investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a person briefed on the matter told NBC News on Wednesday.
Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin, the former “weaponization” czar, opened the probe while he was interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. It wound down recently under Jeanine Pirro, the current U.S. attorney, who is a longtime Trump ally and former Fox News host.
The autopen case was never presented to a grand jury, unlike the case that Pirro's office tried to bring forward last month against six members of Congress who participated in a social media video that urged members of the military and intelligence communities not to follow unlawful orders.
It is difficult to bring a criminal case when there is not even a readily identifiable and applicable criminal statute, the person briefed on the matter said.
The White House referred an inquiry about the matter to the Justice Department. A spokesman for Pirro’s office, citing Justice Department policy, said the office does not confirm or deny the existence of criminal probes.
President Donald Trump in June demanded a wide-ranging investigation into Biden and officials in his administration after he claimed that Biden's aides used "autopen" signatures to hide Biden's "cognitive decline."
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee investigated Biden's use of an autopen, writing in a report in October that some executive actions he signed with an autopen were "illegitimate," because he suffered from mental decline and could have been unaware of the contents.
Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that Biden used an autopen on many of his executive orders, said in November that he was canceling executive orders signed using Biden’s autopen.
It's unclear how often Biden used an autopen, as there is no official government record of when it is used. In a statement in June, Biden responded to Trump’s claims, saying, "Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency.”
"I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations," he said in the statement. "Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false."
Biden's use of the autopen was investigated as Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate a number of his political foes since he returned to office.
The Justice Department tried to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. A federal judge tossed out the criminal charges against both in November.
It also sent out criminal subpoenas in January to various state and local government offices in Minnesota, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, claiming they conspired to impede law enforcement during its immigration operations there. Neither have been charged, and legal experts have widely condemned an investigation that they say is based on a flimsy legal premise and has a chilling effect on free speech.
I don't know enough to debate you about the QB's that will be entering the draft next season but I am a big OSU fan. The only thing I try to keep in mind is that Sayin was a red shirt freshman. I think he performed extremely well considering that fact. This upcoming season will go a long way in telling me at least what that kid may have moving forward. He certainly looked promising but as first year starter where he goes from there is a mystery. But hey, a lot of these kids are young and will continue to develop. Where they go from where they are is something way over my pay grade. I guess that's why NFL GM's make the big bucks and I don't.
I friend of mine had a spinal stroke. He was parallelized for a while now can walk with difficulty. A bunch of famous musicians recorded his songs to raise money. You can purchase the album "silver patron saints" a bunch of good music by current musicians. good contemporary rock stuff. Here are two. One with Springsteen. One with Ian Hunter [video:youtube][/video]

And while I agree with you to a very great extent, for any sane person it's obvious that a lot of this division and chaos begins with what is being said and posted from within The White House and at Mar-a-Lago. Once a contagious disease starts, an epidemic will soon follow if no controls or constraints are put in place to contain it.
And the question could become, if Monkin doesn't develop some of that "1st round" talent will it be the fault of Monkin for not developing that talent or will it be the talking heads were wrong about their evaluations on some of those picks?
If you eliminate major costs you foresee while working, then things are simpler, so I agree. We have set up savings and investments every pay. We "practiced" budgeting before retirement while we only received one payday a month. We are comfortably set. More than that, we are happy with what we have; my wife is a blessing because we share priorities. The Shaker motto was good advice that smacks of Transcendentalism: "Simplify, simplify." Control what you can.
As I said earlier, simple is the name of the game, especially if you plan on doing most of it yourself. Leave the complicated to the people who can afford personal secretaries, a team of accountants, and lawyers. Complicated takes a mental toll if you plan to do it yourself.
888 keeps insisting tax payers don't pay anything for National Parks. Lies are lies even when one doesn't realize one is doing it.
I made an error which I am happy to accept and acknowledge - something most won't do on here. And if anyone was to keep a score of the lies and the misinformation that is spammed on these boards, then one group of posters win by a land slide and it isn't the guys who don't like Trump.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against an ICE agent in connection with the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in Minneapolis.
Christian J. Castro, 52, is facing four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The backstory:
The ICE-involved shooting took place near the 600 block of 24th Avenue North just before 7 p.m. on Jan. 14.
Initial reporting detailed federal agents were pursuing a man in a vehicle who had crashed into a snowbank. The man then ran to a nearby home, where a pursuing agent caught up with him and attempted to make an arrest.
An "altercation" between the agent and suspect then ensued, which led to two other people arriving from a nearby apartment, and all three attacking the officer – one armed with a broomstick, according to DHS.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS initially claimed.
Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, a Venezuelan national, was taken to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, while Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, 26, was also arrested in its aftermath.
Both men were charged with assaulting a federal agent in the aftermath of the altercation, but the DOJ later requested the charges be dismissed with prejudice, writing in a motion that, "newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the complaint affidavit."
Big picture view:
The shooting occurred one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE officers and ten days before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers. ICE agents under federal investigation
Dig deeper:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office later opened a criminal investigation into two ICE officers after video evidence allegedly showed the agents’ sworn testimony included "untruthful statements."
Court filings filed after the shooting showed the ICE officers’ accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting differed significantly from testimony provided by the two defendants and multiple eyewitnesses.
SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.
So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.
According to most on draft day, this guy was massively overdrafted, and supposedly not on any team's radar.
I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts. That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.
They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
