You think things are bad now? Just wait until I get in there… I’ll make Herbert Hoover look like Abraham Lincoln.

Yes, get that platform written up, I'm ready to get the DL05 for President campaign going now.

Lmao

Just some leadership, respect, common sense, and compassion should do the trick. Could you imagine!

MAGA here’s a cup of copium…. Trump is hated, period. Dems didn’t win, TRUMP LOST. And people are hungry for democratic socialist policies… time for the NEW NEW DEAL.

Well that set the tone for the Republicans to lose another 7 or 8 senate seats in the next election.

One of the most polarizing figures in MAGA world. In a couple of years the question will be "How did that turn out?"

So much for working with Congress.

Trade deadline is Nov 10, 2026...3 days from today..!

Who is in control of Verse value.. ?

It seems that Verse is sending a message to the Browns management...first, pay me.

Do the Browns negotiate a long term contract with Verse, hoping that his performance on the field will improve..?

...or do the Browns look to find a trading partner and continue to build via the draft..?

When is the trade deadline..?

I don’t want to spam the board with posts about constant appointments so I’ll just leave this one in here.

This one has me completely confused.

Trump asks Dana White to be press secretary.

So they should just trade him now when he's at the lowest value point in his career? Sure...

Several Republican lawmakers are fuming over President Donald Trump's elevation of Stephen Miller to be his chief of staff.

"Horrible decision," Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., told Fox News Digital on Friday after Trump announced his decision.

A Republican lawmaker who was granted anonymity to speak candidly said they were in "utter disbelief."

Tensions were rising against Miller in the wake of Republicans' terrible performance in Tuesday's midterm elections. Multiple House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital just moments before his promotion said Miller, who spearheads Trump's immigration policy, should be fired.

When later asked about his promotion, one House Republican who said Miller should be fired replied simply with a facepalm emoji.

Republicans suffered historic losses that saw both the House and Senate fall into Democrats' hands in the new Congress. Democrats are on pace to win more than 250 seats in the House and at least 54 Senate seats.

And while voter analyses have shown that Trump's war in Iran and tariffs played the biggest roles in turning people away from the GOP, his handling of illegal immigration served to alienate voters in key areas. That's in no small part due to Hispanic and Latino voters turning their backs on Republicans in places like Texas that shifted massively toward Democrats in this election cycle.

"Because of his immigration positions, I just think we ruined a lot of our goodwill with Latino voters," Stutzman said.

The second GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital that Miller ignored multiple warnings from House Republicans in the past, arguing that Trump's immigration crackdown is what voters asked for.

"I've been in several group meetings where a lot of us have told him, 'Your immigration enforcement policies are backfiring back home, our people are mad, our businesses are mad — even in deep red districts — and it is impacting not just the voters, but the donors, and everybody top to bottom," that GOP lawmaker said. "But it looked to me like Stephen Miller was only after numbers … he would not listen to us."

Other Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital also criticized Miller but did not go as far as to say he should be fired.

"I think he's greatly hurt the administration and cost us many seats on Tuesday," retiring Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., told Fox News Digital before news of Miller's promotion broke. "He took an immigration policy that favored the president 2:1 in the public, over-reached and made it 2:1 unfavorable."

"Many Republicans don't like him," Bacon added when asked about his promotion.

Miller is widely known as Trump's right hand on immigration policy, including earlier this year when the administration faced bipartisan backlash over its handling of anti-immigration enforcement protests in places like Minneapolis.

Several Republicans, particularly those running in battleground districts, had called for Trump to limit deportations to illegal immigrants who have committed crimes while in the United States.

A fourth GOP lawmaker said, "Stephen is a megalomaniac who should have never been given the keys to the Ferrari. That being said, he's not the reason why we lost...no one knows who Stephen Miller is in our districts."

Various other administration officials also got their share of blame in the fallout from Tuesday's midterm massacre, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Trump himself.

But the president and people in his orbit have blamed candidate quality, arguing that in many cases the president campaigned harder than some of the people he supported did for themselves.

And in his Truth Social post announcing Miller's promotion, Trump called him one of his "most trusted advisors." He later told reporters Miller would "do a great job."

When Fox News Digital reached the White House for comment, spokeswoman Lauren Bis said Miller "has been a key player in delivering on President Trump's America First agenda since day one."

"He has spearheaded the administration's crime crackdown including in D.C. and Memphis, record setting deregulation, unleashed American energy, dismantled drug cartels, and secured our border. In his new role, he will continue to deliver historic successes for the American people," Bis said.

Bis also pointed to a list of positive comments about Miller by administration officials and members of Congress.

"Very grateful to Susie for her friendship and service to the president and our country. Stephen Miller is an amazing patriot and will do great things. Congrats to him on a well deserved promotion!" Vice President JD Vance said.

"Stephen Miller has built a proven record focused on securing our border, combating crime, and advancing a now much-needed common-sense conservative agenda for our country," House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris said.

A White House official told Fox News Digital Miller had experience working with Democrats on the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force and that he has been a "valuable, trusted aide" since 2016.

"I'll take mumbo-jumbo that would make more sense if it were the exact opposite for 200, Alex."

pit..that is exactly the point I'm making.. if the Browns are not going address Verse concerns.. they might as well move him via trade..asap, imo.

I just hope Haslam and Berry don't pay the guy just to put a happy face on the MG trade.. verse is not happy in Cleveland.

Trump says he offered White House press secretary job to Dana White

President Trump said he offered the job of White House press secretary to Dana White, president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump said that he requested White bring “assistants” with him and named several UFC fighters.

“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump wrote. “I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris.”

“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” he added.

Rapid Response 47 also posted a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post on the social platform X.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request to confirm the offer. It is unclear whether White has accepted the position.

Here is my only issue with your post.


Your very next statement was this........


You can't have one without the other.

If he plays like crap here who would offer him some huge contract? To further his career and future contractual wealth a player has to be playing well while he's here.

As you said above, "We are aligned."

Sellers has good mechanics and doesn't look like he's winding up to throw a javelin with every pass.

In today's NFL, you cannot make a player perform who does not want to be in Cleveland.

Verse biggest concern looking forward, is his future.. where he will be playing and finding a team that is willing to pay him a huge contract.

From Verse perspective, his NFL career is in limbo and he is not about to play on his rookie contract for a team that is rebuilding.

He is not performing on the field and now his attitude is bleeding over and into the locker room with his criticism of his teammates.

The only thing the Browns can do is either negotiate a huge future contract or trade him asap..jmo, mac

Including all of humanity might be a stretch, but I agree you’d be hard pressed to find a person who does not think Miller is a pretty vile person. Setting a quota for 3,000 daily arrests gives off dystopian nature.

I think Russ Vought may actually be worse, but I am admittedly biased on that assertion.

I do expect there to be quite a “war” between the admin issuing executive orders and the new Congress in 2027. If the Dems put an idiot like Schumer in as majority leader - which I think they will - I think there will be a boil-over on the left. Perhaps the admin sees it that way too and they will dare someone like Schumer to do something more than write a “sternly worded letter” knowing full well he won’t.

We are aligned.

I think one of the things it boils down to is a common problem among both parties emerged when those who are in power are not emblematic of those they represent. We have had some amalgam of wealthy elites, career politicians, and puppet politicians in power so long that they almost have absolutely no insight into what the needs of their constituents are. Perhaps oftentimes they don’t even care.

Over the past couple years we have all seen footage of town halls where various reps and senators are getting booed off the stage because they push back against what their constituents are asking for. It mirrors the tone of “You think you know what you want, but I know what you want better than you do.”

It’s almost as if they forgot that there is this whole voter accountability thing. That is easy to see with all the gerrymandering and manipulation that has gone on to diminish voter power. Hopefully we are entering a time of “awakening” for political elites, but there is a hell of a lot more work to do to combat the corruption, self-dealing, and general malaise in the beltway.

I agree. We saw it with both biden and trump. The people kept telling them the economy needed to be focused on. Rather than admit it was a problem and tell people they understood that and would address that, they both pretended and tried to convince people who were paying their bills and raising a family that the economy was fine and nothing was wrong.

It's as if they were tone deaf. I wonder of they'll ever learn their lesson.

I suppose it is harder for someone who has plenty of money and has no problem paying their bills to understand the plight of those who don't. But as this economic trend continues it's making it harder for more and more people to remain in their comfort zone and they better begin to understand that.

What we have seen and always will see is a correction when the pendulum swings too far in either direction. Capitalism is a fine system when there are checks and balances in place to keep it regulated and in check. Of course there has always been certain components of socialist polices mixed in. That's nothing new.

But people are and have been taking notice of how much capitalism is being abused and how it favors the haves while leaving the have nots behind. And in the end when there is a huge backlash they will blame everyone but themselves for the abuse and do everything in their power to paint a negative light on anyone who stands against it.

Maybe the single most repulsive human being.

Good fit.

No illusions about who this creep is.

After reviewing Sellers I think we may already have an equivalent, to him on our roster 'Green' IMO

Your second last paragraph brings up a good point. I listened to the latest Weekly Show and the woman on there, Sarah Longwell, is a political consultant and former Republican strategist.

She talks about the paradigm of Washington where they need to”numbers” and have come to view voters as just numbers. Politicians do not think about constituents’ needs or how to make the country better. It’s about the numbers. It really harkens to the parallel in the corporate world where it’s not about quality products or customer needs or satisfaction, but fiscal numbers and stock prices.

She thinks the recent election cycles have begun to show significant blowback from the voters where we are screaming that we are more than just numbers. That we are people. And Washington better start viewing us that way.

I hope that trend continues.
