I grew up Republican. Still am in many ways. But MAGA pushed the party so far right that I get called a liberal now.

Let me explain the difference:

Traditional Republicans believe in:

• Fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets, not exploding deficits for tax cuts)
• Limited government (actual small government, not big government that punishes your enemies)
• Strong institutions (courts, elections, constitutional norms matter)
• Personal responsibility (your actions have consequences)
• Free markets (not tariffs and trade wars)
• Strong alliances (NATO, international partnerships)
• Rule of law (no one is above it, including the president)
MAGA Republicans believe in:

• Whatever Trump says today (even if it contradicts yesterday)
• Loyalty tests (agree 100% or you're a traitor/RINO)
• Conspiracy theories over facts (stolen election, deep state, QAnon adjacent stuff)
• Grievance politics (owning the libs > actual policy)
• Personality cult (Trump loyalty above party, above country, above truth)
• Performative outrage (culture war theater instead of governance)
• Ends justify means (storm the Capitol, ignore election results, whatever it takes)
I didn't move left. The party moved off a cliff.

I still believe in conservative principles. But when you say "maybe we should respect election results" or "fiscal responsibility matters" or "rule of law applies to everyone," you get called a liberal.

That's not conservatism. That's a cult.

Wow

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

Wow. #Bills owner Terry Pegula says the coaching staff pushed to draft WR Keon Coleman and that was never GM Brandon Beane's top choice in that situation.

"That was Brandon being a team player. ... He's taken heat over it. I'm here to tell you the true story."

Wowza. I've never seen anything like this before... Coleman is still on the roster BTW.

The Steelers are 0-6 in their last 6 playoff games

The Texans are 0-6 in their last 6 road
Playoff games

The Steelers have a 23 game home MNF win streak

The Texans are on a 9 game win streak right now

Good news is- whatever happens tonight, you can claim you followed the right trend

Post-game Highmark Stadium tribute video featuring the Goo Goo Dolls. Yeah, it got pretty dusty in there.

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

@JoeBuscaglia Both Coleman and Davis?? Seems a tad strange. Is this more of a sign that Shavers has really established himself as a key/top member of the wide receiver, a simple match up issue for today or someone hurt or are we really missing something?

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

Biggest game left in the regular season and you're gonna put make it a make or break game for Coleman, you couldn't wait a week? Wtf you haven't seen all year long he is hot garbage or close to it. Jesus

[Thurman Thomas III @thurman34thomas]

Lmaooooo this is great😂

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

Josh wtf was that just take the safety

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

That's ok, I can wait. Sadly over the two weeks without, other than MNF I now realize how little I actually watch ESPN and Abc.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

Disney CEO Bob Iger shared that he feels the company is making a fair offer to YouTube TV as the ESPN blackout continues.

Dear ESPN and YouTube TV very simple FIX it and fix it now. You are both billion dollar companies no reason for this. Fix it now

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

@SalSports Sal did we cut the other punter, who was injured? Sorry his name escapes me

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

@WKBW do you think perhaps the Bills are hoping that Gabe Davis gets healthy in time to help out the WR room?

[Matthew Burger @burgerleoni]

Me, gawd I badly want to book a cruise, my bank account tf you are

[Buffalo Origin Story @BuffOriginStory]
