  1. Ah, its still on You Tube. Sorkin nails it here
  2. That's what I truly don't get. He's so clearly a fraud. And I don't get the fact that people fall for the religious thing. He's less religious than I am and I am an atheist. I, like many people here, have hated Donald Trump since the 1980's. I think people are just angry at politicians and here comes this guy who wasn't one and he's all angry and blustery and he talks like them. He openly insults people. Yeah, see, I want someone better than that. I want someone smarter than I am to be in charge. I want someone with some dignity. Elitist? You're damn right I want someone elite to be in charge. Besides, politics is a skill and it's best not to learn on the job with the most powerful office in the western world. I was shocked to find out that Johnny Rotten is a big Trump supporter, because I thought he was anti-fascist and anti-racist, but he likes the fact that it breaks the system. Well, understand - breaking the system hurts millions of people in ways we can't even begin to understand. Yes, the system is flawed, but I am not burning down my house because of one of the electrical outlets doesn't work. The crime scare tactic has worked ever since Willie Horton (the murderer, not our beloved Willie), got attacked to the Dukakis campaign. While Dukakis was Governor of Massachusetts a man named Willie Horton got an early release and then killed again. The early release program was signed into law by (Liberal) Republican Governor Frank Sargent. Dukakis wasn't going to win anyway, but the ad did hurt him and the Republicans have used that tactic whenever they could. Maybe people have matured enough to realize that you can't pin crime on one person or party. Gives me a little hope. About this rainbow fentanyl candy.... I did not see that ad in Michigan. I handed out 3 Musketeers bars, only nougat in them. As a life-long Democrat, I am still surprised I have not been invited to a baby blood-drinking party. Democrats have their own demon to deal with and that is woke-ism. It is a problem. A lot of people in our country are sick of it. It's one thing to not want to see people marginalized, but we're going after fucking comedians. Come on, man. I don't go crying at every fat joke. It's getting so bad that I am not surprised that non-Chinese people are not called out for eating Chinese food. White Guy wears a Bob Marley hat with the red, green and yellow African color stripes and people in Ann Arbor say it's "cultural appropriation". No, it's just a Bob Marley fan. Besides, we can't like another culture now? It's one of the foundations that made our country great. We have to get over that and focus on the REAL offensive things going on. If you don't like Dave Chappelle, then don't watch him, but Dave takes shots at absolutely everyone and most people just laugh, he doesn't need to be banned for offensive jokes. Far as I know the guy has never assaulted anyone. The late Christopher Hitchens once said the Tea Party was really the reaction to Obama and the fact that White people will be in the minority in 20-25 years and this scares the hell out of many whites. He also said the Tea Party was only the beginning and they would get worse. He nailed that. So did Aaron Sorkin by calling them the American Aliban on his Newsroom show (great show).
  3. The media has to stop covering him first. Every time he farts, man
  4. I feel a lot better about my country this weekend than I did last weekend. I was worried, really worried. hardly slept last Saturday, felt sick all day Sunday. Not just that Republicans would win, but these psychos in their party would win. We came through. It's still distressing that roughly 46-48% of people think these nuts are okay. Democrats have some extremists too, but I don't get the sense they will inspire violence. Fun sport to watch is the folks like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham now try to backtrack on Trump. Ted Cruz especially. I know that he absolutely hates Trump but he whored himself and his wife and father out for him..............LOL
  5. I think it started with Rush Limbaugh..........and to a slightly lesser degree Newt Gingrich. Politics changed when they both started finding an audience. Trump just went "these go to eleven" with the volume of it.
  6. It's eerie how close Stephen King came to nailing how someone like Trump could come to power
  7. Mr. Vice President, Mr. Secretary. The missiles are flying. Hallelujah. Hallelujah
  8. When you have Reyes and Castro starting over half a season's games it means you suck, and I like both players -- as utility/backup guys. They can both fill that roll very well.
  9. They only way they can drop him is when he drops for good -- The Big Sleep. He's not going away and his echo will continue to reverberate in the primaries.......even after he's gone. Some of his supporters will likely get crazier. I'm surprised at the lack of violence, actually. But it's early.
  10. Remember, Kemp stood up to Trump, despite a lot of political and personal threats. I think that won over the middle. I think a lot of people in the center thought what Trump did after the election was an attack on Georgia. Walker is handpicked by Trump and Trump's probably gonna say a lot more crazy shit as people continue to blame him
  11. I just can't believe it came to that..........Herschel Walker is stupid and he's a scumbag and a liar.........
  12. I don't know what I would do if some crazy extremist Democrat took over the party. We haven't really had that, or really been close to it (in my opinion), but I could never see myself supporting Republicans. I haven't always voted for the Democrat..........I could not vote for Robert Ficano........ever, so I filled in a third party, knowing Ficano would win anyway. This year under one of the Judge slots I wrote in my own name, because there was only 1 candidate.......what's the point of even voting then? I got the sense some people in here started moving away from them even before Trump.
  13. I am of the impression that at least 90% of the people that post here are supporting Democrats, but how many of you were Republicans or Independents in the past - and was it Trump or were you already changing. Usually people get more conservative as they get older...............Just wondering, because it seems odd that a baseball/sports sight would be so seemingly lopsided.
  14. Mike Maroth 2003 territory
  15. So that was a seat that was open because a Republican who voted to impeach got primaried. Trump endorsed Kent. Oh this is just beautiful
  16. Nebraska is gonna be dangerous now.............Better be cautious here if you're Michigan. I know the game is over, but Nebraska is a devious and sneaky state.
  17. I was really excited to see Illinois off to their great start, we'd have some fresh blood coming out of the West. Welp........right now Purdue controls their own destiny and they'd be fresh too, but I still think we'll end up with boring old Iowa..............again.
  18. Vitamins. Vitamins that relax me and make things funny. I saw Brain Candy at the movies and did not really like it. But on "vitamins", I don't know how the Oscars could snub it.
  19. I really hate Nebraska's helmet, with the plainest N they could come up with............Come up with SOMETHING better than that.
  20. I know it's 31-3, but careful here......Nebraska is poised to strike.
  21. 24-3. I think this is where Nebraska goes on their run..........
  22. Their passing game must get better in the next 2 weeks or they're gonna be blown out.
  23. The punter from Michigan looks like he's 40.
