Britt practicing her rebuttal speech with a GOP consultant...

Since it's in today's article I'm assuming that nothing has changed over the past two weeks in that regard. And manslaughter charges could be sought if it's determined that both the physical fight and the bullying are tied together as playing a role in the suicide.

From the article: "a spokesperson for the (Owasso police) department clarified that the fight had not been ruled out as having contributed to or caused his death."

Kid most likely only went to the hospital because it's school procedure when a kid starts barfing for no apparent reason lol...

I recommend winning the lottery at 18 and never working a day of your life. 👍 Mind you, that usually requires you dying at 19, but…

And not just a dead loved one, but a murdered loved one. And I'm wondering whose idea was it to get Trump's signature on the photo...did they ask him to sign it, or did he just sign it on his own like some obtuse B-grade celebrity who thinks anyone who puts anything within arm's reach of them for any reason, is a sign they want an autograph lol...

What Hur wrote, that she felt he should correct: "He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died." Not even slightly accurate. Accurate would be: "While President Biden recalled the month and day his son Beau died, White House attorneys provided the year." From the transcripts and reports: HUR: "So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Rd & there were docs relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Inst, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?" BIDEN: "I don't know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?" Hur: "Yes, sir." Biden: "Remember, in this time frame, my son is either been deployed or is dying." (then much later) "And so, what was happening though--what month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30th--" White House Lawyer: "2015" Person 2: "2015" Biden: "Was it 2015 he had died?" Person 2: "It was May of 2015." Biden: "It was 2015." Biden's personal lawyer: "I'm not sure of the month, sir, but I think it was 2015." *********** The way Hur wrote it, though, it came across as if Biden just drew a complete blank when it came to remembering his son's death. Not to mention, Biden never attempted to give a year for Beau's death...the closest he came to doing so was to say if was during a time frame when he was "actively working on" a number of papers. Guess what--he very easily could have been working on those papers while still Vice President. So Biden's comment about his son either being deployed or dying "in this time frame" isn't referencing a specific year...and when his attorney's chimed in with the year, it wasn't because Biden asked them which year it was or was drawing a blank, they just let him know the year. But as I and numerous others have already mentioned, 1) not remembering the specific year of a loved one's passing means absolutely nothing...Hur, though, made it mean far more than he should have...and 2) saying "Was it 2015?" also means absolutely nothing, as tshile perfectly pointed out. It's just how human beings talk, it's not a sign that Biden's mentally confused. Hur's description of that interaction with Biden was unnecessarily negative and completely ignores the reality for a large part of the population when it comes to things like remembering the year a loved one passed away. What Hur wrote is far more a reflection of his own perspectives about Biden than a tell-tale sign of Biden's memory.

Eh, they're all smiling so not reading too much into it.

I'ma steal that part in bold lol 😂

Actually I think Brian got it wrong...sounds more like Hur said "2001 TO 2002" and not "2001 OR 2002"...and sounds like he's associating that time frame with his own term, not with the Supreme Court making the decision, although I have no clue why he's even bringing it up from that clip.

Abso-****ing-lutely spot on by Schiff. I've said this before, but when I had to give testimony in a deposition, lawyers told me ahead of time to ALWAYS say I can't remember or recall unless I remember something with amazing clarity. That it was miles better to say "I can't remember" than to guess at what I think the answer is. And what Hur did was absolutely done to give the GOP talking points against Biden for the presidential campaign. Hur turned "President Biden said he could not recall" into something like "President Biden constantly struggled with memory issues as he said he could not recall even the most basic facts surrounding the documents, he would be seen as a sympathetic grandpa if he were to be charged."

That's why I mentioned the Whigs and why I said "possibly" lol...the Whigs were in power for like 25 years, and Repubs were basically the "other" party before them and after them. I don't expect MAGA to hold any power that long, and may never hold any actual power again, but they will exist as the "other" party for awhile before Republicans come back to replace them. Meaning, we're not gonna ever have a one-party system...MAGA crashing and burning would leave a political vacuum that just a TON of people and factions would be desperate to fill. Traditional Republicans would have a huge leg-up on everyone else to be the ones to fill it.

Check out the history of the Whig party for a general possibility. Long story short, the Republican party in it's previous form would return to fill the void, possibly more moderate than before MAGA took over but probably wouldn't be.

Freudian slip, maybe? lol...

No you weren't lol...come on, now. A lot more than just that transpired during Hur's questioning of President Biden...you just highlighted that one thing to make a point. Not to mention, asking someone to remember the year of a specific event is not the way cognitive decline is detected or measured. They ask the person what year it is now, who the president is, what month it is now, show them a picture of a dog and ask them what animal it is...stuff like that. As well as Hur is not a cognitive specialist! lol...he has no clue how to detect nor analyze things of this nature, so his observations are worthless, at least in terms of determining Biden's mental capabilities. If the GOP is smart, they won't even slightly ask Hur about Biden's alleged memory issues. That would be the absolute dumbest thing they could do...which is why I expect them to do just that lol.

You apparently think this is, what...damaging to Biden? I can't easily recall the year my sister died, my mom died, or my dad died without doing some mental math...and even then I get it wrong half the time. I have literally asked my siblings which year our sister passed away before. Hell, I can't even tell you the year now if anyone asked. How many people do you think are the same? I can remember what I wore to my sister's funeral, what the bathroom tile in the church felt like against my skin as I laid down on it sobbing alone away from everyone, what the weather felt like as I placed a rose on my sister's coffin, what color pants I wore to her funeral, and what my aunt said to my nephew--my sister's child--as he broke down in the car crying. But I can in no way tell you what year she passed away without doing a bunch of adding, subtracting, and free form associating to figure it out first.

I no longer hold any belief that anything whatsoever that the GOP does in terms of hearings or testimony will ever, EVER, be anything other than a complete and utter failure for Republicans lol...have they succeeded even once yet? Twitter Files, Hunter Biden, Impeachment Inquiry...it all flames out, usually due to the testimony of the GOP's own "witnesses." That, plus Dems have become really ****ing good at calling out the obvious stupidity and logic flaws, as well as puncturing Hindenburg-sized holes in what little witness testimony that is potentially damaging.

If I ever did that, every single female in my entire family would destroy me for several decades...I'm talking mom, sisters, daughter, aunts, cousins, 2nd cousins, in-laws, ex-in-laws...all of them.

I forgot all about Chase Young lol...

I had to literally "lol" at the part in bold lol 😂...way, waaaaay too long lol... And I think I've been here long enough for everyone to realize I pretty much never post whatever I post for mere engagement, not to mention I have stayed out of the stadium forum for about the last 6 months or so. Even when I post something like "Just needed to stir the pot in here lol" it's never meant literally. And I'm not just referring to players, I'm also referring to coaching staff decisions...found myself thinking about Joe Whitt Jr. the same way I thought about Scott Turner. tl:dr version: I'm in heavy wait-and-see mode, and seeing the same types of comments this offseason that I've seen repeated for years isn't helping me. 😂 ...Ah, well, I'll get more into it soon with the draft.

I think that was me, too...wanted to see something that strongly indicated he was different, not just better than Rivera/Bruce/Snyder/etc. As you said, if all he is is "Better" then time will tell how much better (hopefully a ****load better lol). I do have legit hope that will be the case at the very least.

I said almost the same exact things in 2020 during Rivera's first offseason here and after Bruce Allen had been punted to the curb. I also got criticized for it back then, too lol...I know, I know, Snyder. Like I said a few posts ago, I'm hoping what this shows is that Rivera's approach was pretty much SOP for new coaches but that is talent eval was lacking. But right now I'm not feeling like it's anything noticeably different from offseasons past. I mean, maybe they're using analytics to support their moves, I dunno lol...that would be something I (nor anyone else) would have any idea about. See? Optimism lol...
