Except it's an inaccurate timeline. Trump's actions didn't happen in a vacuum. You keep ignoring what led to them.
Did Trump botch things? Yes. Were things in Iran already getting worse without him? Also yes.
There's plenty to blame Trump for without twisting things to the benefit of Iran to create more.
Windmills do twist things, so I guess calling yourself one fits even if it is fanciful.

A timeline and accurate set of facts is not defending anyone.
As the timeline dictates, Iran had inspections and open identifications of where this uranium was stored right up until trump bombed those locations. Once again a timeline of those events is not an attack or blaming anyone. It simply shows a direct cause and effect.
It's odd how you yourself openly admitted that trump made this situation worse. That he handled it poorly and now you're claiming I'm the one doing it? Pot meet Kettle.
Stating that only an idiot would continue to report where their uranium is located right after it had just been bombed isn't defending anyone. It's stating the the obvious.
This is what you do when your back is up against the wall. You try to change a rational discussion into a crap throwing contest.
Tilting at windmills has become quite a habit with you. But then when all else fails......

60% is not weapons grade uranium. That would be 90+%. Who said I was to trying to score points on trump or defending Iran? I'm not debating trump unless there is something you need to tell me.
What I'm showing is there was not some urgency to go to war with Iran as has been claimed. Isn't that what we have been discussing?
I think your Bingo card needs replaced. There is now B trump on a Bingo card. No kidding 60% isn't "weapons grade", which is why I mentioned the clarification while expecting you to quibble over it. Your words said you were trying to score points. You said Trump caused the problem. So yet once again trump created a problem and thinks attacking them was the best method to address it? You also defended Iran. There is a legitimate reason for what they are doing and that reason was created by trump. They were doing things they shouldn't have when Biden was president. There's no reason to enrich uranium to 60% other than it's the next step to getting to weapons grade which is the very next step. It's not a long step. The uranium at Chernobyl was only enriched to 2% when the accident happened. Look at all the damage that caused. It doesn't have to be 90% enriched to be used as a weapon. It's just what those with nuclear arsenals used because they could. It's not just "Nukes" I'm worried about. It's also dirty bombs which are even easier to make. Iran is designated as a leading state sponsor of terrorism by the US and multiple international bodies. Yes, clearly nothing should be left off the card when you're involved. Any insanity is possible.

Willie, the way I look at it is this way. We've already taken a beating with DW and his contract. Right now, our Browns are in damage control. Keeping DW and playing him, if he's our best option, hurts a lot less than cutting him before the contract is up. None of us may like it but that's the way it is. We've dealt with the embarrassment and ridicule for four years. We've got one more to go so let's try to make the best of it. No other choice.

From the above article:
... Some Browns fans who never accepted him as their team’s quarterback shamefully cheered his exit. Not the entire audience, but enough to be heard by players on the Browns’ sideline.
I've been to countless sporting events...on the regular, when injured players leave the field/court/pitch fans applaud and cheer for encouragement. Sure...there are some guys who will jeer and enjoy the injury...but those guys are few and far between. Myles lecturing fans about empathy? His snowflake-azz has no idea what was/is in the minds and hearts of cheering fans. He should spend that effort on recognizing the posted speed limit.
That same BS was rolled out when Couch got injured and had to leave the field.
Also from the above article:
“The year before we signed him, he was the second-best quarterback in NFL,” Haslam said. “And then the suspension and the injuries and all that piled up. Can he come back from that? He certainly had the ability at one point in time, and we’re cautiously optimistic.”
Well Jimmy...actually....the year before you signed him he chose to sit out the year pouting over the team's decision at head coach.
They are going to need a lot of lipstick for this pig.

Really ??? I mean we didn't need proof that you simply spew whatever garbage is in your feed - but... just so we're clear: Mueller report - The Robert Mueller report concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in a "sweeping and systematic fashion". It detailed sweeping disinformation operations and targeted cyber hacks, even if it did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. 1. Russian Interference Operations Social Media Disinformation: The Internet Research Agency (IRA) ran a massive online campaign to sow social discord and favor Donald Trump. Hacking and Leaking: Russian military intelligence (GRU) hacked Democratic Party networks and email accounts, publicly releasing the stolen materials through intermediaries like WikiLeaks. 2. Campaign Contacts and "Collusion" The investigation documented numerous links between Russian operatives and Trump campaign officials. While the campaign expected to benefit electorally from the stolen information, the evidence was insufficient to charge any American with conspiring or coordinating with the Russian government. 3. Obstruction of Justice The report detailed multiple instances where President Trump attempted to impede the investigation, such as firing FBI Director James Comey and attempting to have Mueller removed. Mueller did not make a traditional prosecutorial judgment on obstruction, citing Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president. However, the report notably stated: " if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state... while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him". 4. Prosecutions and Convictions The investigation yielded 37 indictments or guilty pleas, including convictions of Trump associates like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen on charges ranging from financial fraud to lying to investigators.
Numerous Russian nationals and entities were indicted for their roles in the hacking and troll farm operations. Let's not forget the TEN instances of (probable) obstruction that Mueller laid out . . . . Republicans - the party of law and order my ass. Jan 6th. DOJ being used for vendettas even going so far as to mislead grand juries. What a joke.

2021 was before the attack. You think we should just let them make weapons grade enriched uranium? It's certainly not the less than 4 percent for civilian use if you want to quibble over weapons grade. Whoever was president should have just let them? Just say, "You're breaking the treaty/agreement and supporting terrorists, but that's cool. Do whatever you want."
Trump didn't make them enrich uranium to 60%. Biden was president in April of 2021.
Defending Iran enriching uranium to try to score points on Trump-- Did not have that on my bingo card for you.

Iran formally stopped providing updated nuclear material accountancy reports and access to its nuclear sites, including the location of its enriched uranium stockpiles, in late June 2025. Right after trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites. https://isis-online.org/uploads/isi...erification-Report_Final_September-8.pdfSo yet once again trump created a problem and thinks attacking them was the best method to address it? Just curious, do you think it would be smart of Iran to keep providing access and information on it's uranium enrichment program after it was just bombed by the U.S.? There is a legitimate reason for what they are doing and that reason was created by trump. Iran enriching uranium to 60% has been known since 2021. It's not some new development........................... Iran first officially announced and was confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to be enriching uranium to 60% purity in April 2021. https://www.sipri.org/commentary/essay/2021/why-iran-producing-60-cent-enriched-uraniumThose two things are not connected.

The Iranian Nuclear Program was under constant video surveillance in addition to allowing in person inspections. Now it's not. They were only allowed to enrich uranium to less than 4% for civilian use. Now they're doing at least 60%. linkThey've been capable. They just agreed not to and were watched to ensure they didn't in the past.

1. If Watson wins the starting job and earned it then he deserves to be the starter. If your on the 53 then best player plays.

3. If Watson plays good enough for an extension, then yes. I agree on all your points, but I do think that just because 1 happens doesn't necessarily mean that 3 will happen. I think the likelihood of 1 happening is FAR higher than 3.

That's simply too much to wade through. So I'll keep this short.
First this is a contract year for DW. His future depends on playing well. The gravy train won't be flowing to his door next year if he doesn't play well this season. If after flopping around like a fish washed up on the beach for four years he plays lights out this season, it will only confirm to me that he is who I thought he was.
Secondly, DW never wanted to be here. He had a no trade clause and took the Browns off the list if teams he was willing to be traded to until Haslam backed up the Brinks truck. He came here just for the cash to a destination he didn't want to be in you can bet your ass he's looking to get away from here now.
There are 31 other teams in the league. None of this is as simple as the Browns just giving DW an extension.

And now you deny it when it's one of your own. At least the dems were smart enough to run a different candidate instead of trotting Biden out there again. That's what it looks like when someone realizes their mistake. So maybe you should pay more attention next time instead of doing exactly what you blamed the Democrats of doing. Your shtick is lame.

I suppose it's more the vagueness in parts of it. What we've witnessed doesn't seem to align with some of your assertions...................... how (relatively) "easy" (with readily available technology Iran already has access to) it is to make a nuclear device. I'm not privy to how much or how little technology Iran has access to. I'm sure there are far less advanced technology and far more advanced technology in developing nuclear weapons and it seems as long as it has taken Iran to this point it's been a very slow process. The hard part is acquiring the (nuclear) materials. Once you have the materials, a device can come together fast. Yet once again Iran has had nuclear materials for decades now. And since Iran already has a nuclear power plant, uranium enrichment facilities, and rockets.... In 1957, Iran and the US signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement as part of President Dwight Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" program. This led to the construction of Iran's first nuclear research facility at Tehran by the U.S. which was completed in 1967. The much larger Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, was completed in 2011. Fifteen years ago. So after fifteen years of having nuclear power Iran still hadn't completed a nuclear weapon. Iran first had uranium enrichment capability in 2006. Twenty years ago. Iran first launched ballistic missiles in March 1985, firing Soviet-supplied Scud-B missiles against an Iraqi oil installation near Kirkuk during the Iran-Iraq War. Twenty six years ago. For something that is supposed to advance so easily after these capabilities are available to a country, this seems to have all been happening at a snails pace. Something about all of that isn't adding up.
