People who own AR-15s do so because of tiny penises. There is no other good reason to own one.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 03:51 PM) Thirty total mass shootings in 2018 already. Ah, so technically we havent had a single day where its "been ok" to talk about guns.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 03:30 PM) More bullying prevention/enforcement and ensuring schools do all they can to make kids feel welcome and loved will do more to prevent this stuff than more gun laws. edit: to be clear, i'm not saying that reasonable gun legislation shouldn't also be a part of the solution. Not being able to acquire tools of death would help 100%. There is a reason the UK hasnt had a mass shooting in 20 years and we have them almost every week. There were two armed police officers working at the school and they couldnt stop this.

87 school shootings in the last 14 months.....

Multiple fatalities. Cant wait to hear about mental health being the issue

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 02:35 PM) I'm sure it would violate her contract, but Melania should cut the charade and tell Trump to go scratch. They'd deport her.

18 school shootings this year, but yes thoughts and prayers will fix everything

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 01:38 PM) Stormy is going to talk. Her manager says Cohen violated the NDA. LMAO. She knows how to make it rain $$$$$

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 12:51 PM) EH? I dont remember addressing my post to you, I was just saying that its an issue because the party he represents has made this an issue. And that its hypocritical for those in his party who have tried to enforce religion through legislature and the courts, not to enforce the same against him. Exactly. Blind allegiance to someone who fundamentally represents something that is against your core beliefs is f***ing weird and super hypocritical.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 12:02 PM) This story sounds fishy to me. Dude drove 40 miles at 100 MPH with a "stuck" gas pedal. Apparently he was on the phone with a 9-1-1 operator for most of the time and it took the police deploying 3 spike strips to finally get him to stop. Why didn't he 1) simply push the brake pedal down to activate the fail-safe the BMW spokesperson said his car is equipped with, 2) put the car into neutral or 3) shut the engine off? Anyone of those options would have eventually stopped the vehicle. Link Does the electronic transmission allow you to shift into neutral at that speed? I know it wont let you shut the car off.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:45 AM) Did I say all? People who get free stuff from the government tend to vote for the people that give them free stuff. People who pay half of their earnings to government tend to vote for the people who believe in less taxation. It's human nature. You said his base. I asked if you really thought that was his base. Apparently you do.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:32 AM) This. It would be hypocritical for me to say that Donald Trump is unfit to lead because he had an affair (he's unfit to lead for a whole host of other reasons). Sex between consenting adults, I don't care! But it is decidedly not hypocritical for me to point out that the the party of Family Values seems to only care about Family Values when they are campaigning against godless Democrats. Pointing out hypocrisy in someone else is not in itself hypocritical. If Obama suddenly switched his view on homosexuality and decided that it was wrong and conversion was an option, I would expect his base to be f***ing furious. Thats exactly the reaction I expect from staunch religious voters that went for Trump.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:39 AM) So basically, generalizing the right = okay. Generalizing the life = not okay. Do you really think all of Obama's voter base was on government support? Really?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:29 AM) I will say it is surprising that Trump's alleged affair isn't getting more air time. Maybe it's just a product of the constant scandal, red alert, corporate news media blasting the sirens too often. Personally, I am not concerned with who a person is or isn't having sex with or rather who he/she should or shouldn't be having sex with. Especially when it pertains to something that happened years ago. I also don't buy the idea that a leader has to be representative of their voters. At least that never seems to happen. Trump's base is religious. Should he also be religious? Obama's base was people receiving aid from the government. Should he have also received aid? These people are politicians. It's their job to lie. Trump ran on running the government like a business, stopping the BS in the middle east and ending the pay for play capitalism. Trump has increased spending, emboldened the military and gave Saudi Arabia billions of weapons so they can bomb a cholera-ridden Saudi Arabia. Obama ran on protecting whistleblowers, closing Gitmo and ending the two wars. He attacked whistleblowers unlike any president before, Gitmo is still operating and he not only expanded the two wars but started another five. These people are liars and scumbags by trade. It's not partisan, it's not right and it definitely shouldn't be surprising. I agree with almost everything other than the bolded which is just an awful, inaccurate generalization. HOWEVER, if you stand for something and the guy you elected to stand for you simply lies or does the opposite, you should absolutely be upset.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:18 AM) Back during the convention they were wondering what would have been said about Obama if he had been standing on a stage with 5 kids from 3 different women. Is there a bigger hypocrite in the world, other than Trump himself, than Mike Pence? I get thinking that Dems or people in general are only enraged when its the opposite party doing something, but the very concept of family values are woven deep into the thread of the conservative platform. Adultery, divorce, and prostitution goes directly against that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 11:03 AM) I think you are wrongly connecting the observation of hypocrisy with some real deep connection to the issue that is causing the hypocrisy in my case. This is yet another one of those issues where everyone flipped opinions based on what party is holding the Presidency. As is typical, opinions are fluid based on what is best for the party, and not any real ethos. Would you say both parties rely on the conservative religious vote and platform?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 10:07 AM) The left impeached Clinton? Oh, are you saying the right had a huge problem with extramarital affairs? Cool, they must be ok with it now. Seems hypocritical.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 10:14 AM) Not bad, just opportunistic hypocrites. Almost like running on family values and christianity while conveniently representing the exact opposite. Or running on anti-immigration and America First while using immigrant workers, importing your wife and having most of your money tied up in foreign assets.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 10:04 AM) Then again, it wasn't that along ago when the left was the party of letting consenting adults have affairs in private being a thing as well. Totally, of course that resulted in impeachment.. You'd also expect the "religious right" to condemn extra marital affairs, especially with a porn star/escort. But they dont give two s***s.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 02:34 PM) Prices in markets are up...but supply is not high. I can't comment on the Chicago market in particular, but in our market prices are up extensively but supply is at extremely low levels. IN reaction to that, building increased and thousands of new units will be released causing both demand and pricing to fall.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 08:49 AM) On what? The infrastructure joke? Gutting Medicare, Medicaid and SS? The stock market crashing again? The Porter and Sorensen allegations that the WH continues to bungle? Russian denials? Taking essential food benefits away from the poorest and most mentally unstable at a time when labor markets are already super tight? Nobody cares. Or has the requisite attention span for it. He directly lies on average 3 times a day. HIs base doesnt give two s***s. They turn on Hannity, see the same lies, and love it.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Feb 13, 2018 -> 07:24 PM) I'm enamored with the Audi S4 and RS3. I wish I had more discretionary funds. Just do it. I cannot recommend buying a fast car you want at least once or twice in your life. Just dont fold it in half like I did

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2018 -> 09:37 PM) Anyone doubt the Stormy affair now? https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/963601375501410304 There could be video of him actually f***ing her and then paying her while counting the money dollar by dollar and his base wouldnt believe it.

Good time of the year to buy a car. Went to GMC today to look at the Acadia Denali and they were flat out slashing prices 15%

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 13, 2018 -> 04:15 PM) Wow. That's an unusual spot downtown for a shooting, isn't it. Thank you for your service. Yes. Heartbreaking.
