Lol, I do similar for Steven Sims Jr. every time he makes a play. He was my sleeper pick to make the team that I bored my wife with ever since we picked him up as an UDFA.

It felt more like an Uncharted game mixed with Metroid and Dark Souls elements personally. I liked it well enough to play through the whole way, which is more than I can say for most games I've played. I still gotta go back and give God of War another try. Started Phoenix Point on the PC the other day, which was made by the original creator of X-COM. For some reason I just love these types of games.

Damn, Dr. Pamela Karlan coming with some heat.

It should pass the house, with the democratic majority, but I don't have much hope for getting it through the senate.

I'm feeling more and more now that you can't fix the republican party until your fix their base. I'm trying so hard not to hate those ****ing people. People who choose conformity and authoritarianism over freedom, but yell to everyone and anyone about how much they are for freedom and respecting the flag. They yell and yell about personal responsibility and pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, but can't even muster the ability to educate themselves, think critically, and live based upon principles rather than tribalism. These sick, stupid people are destroying the progress we've worked so hard for and are corrupting the very institutions our military fought and died for to protect.

This is amazing. An ethics watch dog has blown a gaping hole in Trumps obstruction efforts. They can block congress from requesting it, but not a group of everyday citizens filing to nonpartisan clerks in court. And once its released, it’s public information for everyone to read. Including congress. They have dozens more filings pending and presumably soon to be released.

If they do rig it, what are we as citizen's gonna do about it? Probably nothing, until it gets even worse than now. And that's when the violence escalates, because what else can we do when there are no longer any peaceful options available or reliable mechanisms for democracy?

I wish we could all work out and agree on a kind of order of operations when it comes to values or whatever. Like integrity comes before civility. If you don't have integrity, you don't get to hide behind calls for civility.

I feel you on the demand word choice. To clarify, that demand intent is limited to my level of influence and is not exclusive to the redskins. I have more influence in my company than I do with the redskins obviously. Most forums cost more money than they make, so posting here doesn't benefit them and revenue for aired games are shared across all teams, so even switching my allegiance to a different team doesn't change that equation. Plus, I watch the game on DVR and fast-forward through the commercials, so not much given there either. Again, I hate Dan and consider him a cancer. He is on no pedestal for me. I want better and I would prefer to have someone who is both capable and ethical. What kind of nonsense is this? So what, we have to be perfect in order to gain the ability to hold others accountable? That's a dumb ass way to look at life. Do you aspire to anything? Do you have any standards? It doesn't take a saint or an angel to realize, that after a certain point making more money is not the absolute goal, the absolute goal is making the world better for yourself and others. I'd say that's a natural evolution of the golden rule. Treat other's how you'd like to be treated, which can also extend to protect and work for others, in the way that you'd like to be protected and worked for yourself. How ****ing hard is this? I mean come one, didn't y'all learn how to share in kindergarten?

No that's not an applicable example, because your introducing extreme levels of scarcity with the "last 100 dollars bit". Bezos isn't dealing with any kind of scarcity like that. If I was already making way more money than I needed and I faced a decision of either make 35% profit off of company X from my overall portfoli, while getting rid of medical insurance for part-time workers, or make 25% profit and keep the insurance, I would choose the latter. It's about at what point or threshold should your intent change from being all about making money, to bi-furcating that intent so it also includes making the world a better place?

First of all you don't get to set my standards or my responses to those who fail those standards, especially when you seem to have none yourself in this specific matter. Second, I haven't spent a single cent on the Redskins in the past 30 years and before that I was a kid who grew up rooting for them and didn't weigh such matters. Third, I have already said on this forum that while I love the team, the front office is a cancer and like a cancer needs to be treated with the chemotherapy of losing so badly that they can't help but have to face the consequences. So yes, it has been a criteria of my fandom and I am enforcing it, because their lack of integrity is having a direct impact on my support, both emotional and financial.

Thanks for the response. I guess where we differ can be summed up by your last line. I not only want to hear and see benevolence/character in the boardroom, I demand it. It needs to be a requirement and it is unacceptable to me, that people waste their time turning into ****heads in some faustian bargain to amass extreme amounts of wealth and power. I don't accept that "that's what billionaires do". **** them for behaving in this way. And lack of ethics is always a problem in my book.

Ah ok, I doubt it will scare anybody off since it was a loan from a non-agent and he paid it back I think.

How does that work? Won't whoever is picking at #3 take Chase before our turn?
