oblong Posted June 15 Posted June 15 I don't begrudge anyone their personal form of entertainment. It's not my thing. But i loved pro wrestling growing up. I go to events now sometimes. But I just didn't see the link between that and teh White House or our 250th birthday.... it seemed dumb. And the guy praising Jesus then calling Michelle Obama a man is very on point for this admin and his supporters. You can't summarize or describe MAGA any more succinctly. It's as if SNL wanted to make fun of them. The satire writes itself and the offense is blatant. 3 2 Quote

Tigermojo Posted June 15 Posted June 15 UFC is fine. UFC on the White House lawn is ridiculous. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted June 15 Posted June 15 I can buy into this. And to the MAGAs and others applauding the location of the spectacle who also criticized Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden FU 1 Quote
Edman85 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 UFC is awful, not my cup of tee, and having it on the White House Lawn is idiocracy incarnate. Makes me long for soccer. Quote

Tigerbomb13 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 I always thought UFC was trash that all the douchebags I knew watched. I never got the appeal of dudes just beating the **** out of each other, but to each their own. Quote

smr-nj Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Trump specifically asked for this fighter, who has said/posted horribly racist & misogynist things before. He WANTED this guy there. Please don’t insult me by questioning whether or not the president could predict or be responsible for what he would/could say. It’s intentional. And nothing says “celebrate 250 years” for all Americans more than absolutely despicable rhetoric. 4 1 Quote

oblong Posted June 18 Posted June 18 That’s very common, especially if the parent doesn’t have much else. Makes things easier later on. There are downsides, yes, but it’s nothing unusual. 1 3 Quote

Absolutely makes things a lot easier to manage when the time comes. 2 Quote

oblong Posted June 19 Posted June 19 There’s an element of trust and liability. The spouses have to be trustworthy in case the “child” dies first. There’s liability too. My wife is on her mom’s accounts. I read of cases where someone gets a job. Gets life insurance and 401(k). Sets the spouse as beneficiary. Gets divorced. Remarries. Has kids. Goes thru estate planning on assets. 30 years later passes away but never updated those policies and accounts. Spouse #1 gets it. 1 Quote
CMRivdogs Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I spent a brief time working customer service for a company that sold "health and beauty aids" and How To books. They'd send out postcards advertising their goods with return addresses requesting a "free trial". You needed to read the finer print. The number of calls we received from children of parents who did not have had access to checking accounts or credit cards was eyeopening. There parents would end up spending hundreds of dollars.

What idiot came up with this bright idea and who pump-fisted that dolt and skipped in joy to make a meme and post it? Of course we protect & help our aging parents by making bank accounts shared. It’s the RESPONSIBLE thing that a child does. I’m sick to death of the stupidity and total lack of empathetic maturity that’s on daily display in this country. 2 Quote
smr-nj Posted June 19 Posted June 19 And believe me, it’s not lost to me that the real underpinning of this advertisement is to portray Talerico as someone who’s “less masculine” because he is somehow tied with his mother. Again,… to the homophobic people who pass along that meme or chuckle at it, we see who you are. We see who you are. 1 Quote

If it sticks, they can keep pointing at it to their benefit. If it doesn't stick, no one they care about will remember because the fire hose will wash it clean off the wall. Quote

Motown Bombers Posted June 22 Posted June 22 So Trump just endorsed John James. This is a little awkward. Quote
chasfh Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 I do not know the first thing about the guy, and yet I can still promise you this Aric Nesbitt character is still 100% aboard the trump train. Quote
