I tend to think this will not derail Trump. 

Trump admitted to being a rapist in the Access Hollywood Tapes.  I doubt people who voted for him five times after hearing that tape will change their mind just because he is in the Epstein files.

His supports are happy with his approach of violating the constitution and international law by blowing up boats suspected of having drugs without bothering with things such as evidence or a trial.  (As indicated by CF)

His supports are so dilutional that they believe he is taking steps to reduce inflation. When in fact his tariffs and other economic policies are driving inflation higher.   (As indicated by CF)

As Spider has pointed out MAGA is not a political party it is a cult.  The cult has already accepted that Trump is a pedophile but that is okay because they were older looking 15 year olds and not elementary school aged. (See Megyn Kelly)

It is your contention that is backed up with ZERO EVIDENCE that if a team is celebrating winning a game when the team has a losing record than the team is clownish.

No that isn't my contention.  Again read the original post and my subsequent posts in the thread, or don't.  I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

First of all, the post isn't even relevant to the topic at hand, because the coach depicted in the article linked in the post does not have a clownish personality in general like McDaniel.  One can hardly say that if "the team takes on the personality of its coach" in Sean McVay's case, the team will have a clownish personality. Unlike McDaniel, McVay is not a clown in general.

So, "what Spider posted" isn't relevant here to begin with.

Even if we wanted to put all that aside for moment and just focus on the nature of the team celebration in the video linked in the post, the celebration is far more akin to the Steelers' celebration than it is to the Dolphins' celebration in the videos in the original post.  There is nothing silly and clownish occurring in the locker room in that video, regardless of whether the head coach is "wearing capri pants."

In other words, Sean McVay doesn't have anywhere near the clownish personality in general McDaniel does, and there is no evidence in the locker room celebration video linked that his team has a silly and clownish culture.

Moreover, the Rams are 8-2.  The Dolphins in the video in the original post were 3-7.  Even if there were some silliness going on in the locker room on the Rams' part, it would've been occurring in a completely different context in terms of how the team has performed overall.  There should be no such silliness on the part of a team at 3-7 that should be functioning with dead set seriousness on turning its season around.  Silliness in that context is an indication of team culture dysfunction.

It is your contention that is backed up with ZERO EVIDENCE that if a team is celebrating winning a game when the team has a losing record than the team is clownish.  And such clownish teams are unable to focus and win.  And it is an almost strawman claim because it is rare that a team with a losing record goes on to win the superbowl.  And while I don't know if either the 2007 Giants or 1993 Cowboys celebrated going 1-2, I do know that the 2001 Patriots has a clownish level of celebration when they won their first game of the season after losing the first two. 

I don't think you're going to see the files.  He's just going to block them anyway and redact anything to do with him and slow release the ones of other people, especially his enemies.

But I'd also like to point out that Trump saying that Republicans should vote for the bill literally doesn't make sense.

The bill forces Trump to release the files.  It doesn't grant him permission.  If he wanted to release the files, he can do it at any moment.  If anything, the bill protects him by giving him wording that carves out anything under investigation.  He's just going to create an investigation and then block their release.

It's all a scam and he's covering up.

Huh?  how is the relevant to what spider posted?

You measure head coaching success in the NFL via the winning of mere single games?

Huh?  how is the relevant to what spider posted?

Disagree.

High picks ain't shit, #1.  #2, culture of winning is more important.  Tanking is for losers.

A higher pick gives you more leverage to turn it into multiple lower picks.  That's what this team needs.  Too many holes, not enough pegs at this point.

It's almost like you haven't been paying attention. Mike would have to kill one of Ross's family members to be let go before Tua's contract expires. Hahaha

Exactly the point.   We're way past the area of McDaniel having pics of Ross in New Orleans or Vegas with hookers.   We're in the area of McDaniel having information about people in Biscayne Bay with concrete boots that Ross put there.

While the stats may support the decision, if WSH makes the FG at the end of the game, McDaniel is probably fired today.

I have a theory that this is essentially the end of Trump.  I haven't said that in the past 10 years but somehow this just feels different.

I think that it's a marriage of two things: One, it's just not working -- the economy, the tariffs, the masked deportation forces, the drug boats -- none of that is helping and it's hurting regular people.  Things are more expensive, businesses can't staff.  I think that people thought they'd be getting cheaper goods, but it's just getting worse and lying about it ain't helping. 

And Epstein -- not because it will change anything (I agree that nobody will face any real punishment) but it gives people an off-ramp.  The same people who know deep down that they supported these stupid fiscal policies can pretend otherwise but cite the Epstein stuff.

Not to mention that Trump is old, falling asleep, lashing out and not even really taking questions.  He might have some declining health.  He's just not inspiring confidence in even his most ardent people.  I think that the right sees this and they're starting to jockey for position in the post-Trump world.

He won't go down without fighting or making a stink, but I think he's out of juice and finally all of the bullshit has nowhere to point but to him.  He can't blame his way out of this.

He's been in office for less than a year and we have at least another 3 plus with him as president. I say this because it really seems like you are jumping the gun on what he has been able to accomplish. Most of who voted for him are completley happy with him blowing up drug boats while disgusted with the Epstein thing. It's not an all or nothing kind of thing and he has a lot more time for things to come to fruition. With that said I do think some who used to think he walked on water have seen the other side of him. They may have lost the lusture but considering the alternative it isn't even close s to whom they support right now. He's done many things to advance the GOP agenda and slow inflation.
