QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 08:17 PM) Trump is so hated you wonder if he will ultimately be assassinated. I'm not wanting that. But judging from people on social media and TV and all that, I'm very surprised he's still living. I mean people DESPISE our prez. There are so many nutjobs and aggressive nutjobs out there I am surprised he is safe from assassins. He should just quit because all of a sudden he'd be loved for quitting. He made his point. He won. He beat crooked Hillary. Now he can do the country a favor and resign. Noone is going wack trump man. If it did happen, auto civil war for sure.

Trump math of course. Remember he won the popular vote if it wasn't for 3 million illegals!

Just awful.

Terrorism?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) It's shocking how many people still can't accept that they lost the Civil War. Nothing about it is American, what they're honoring is American traitors. We should get a Benedict Arnold statute to put with them, too. Didn't you know? (white) American values are under attack! People must fight back before they are extinct.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) I see the same thing happen on the left such as when workers in unions for things like steel and autos vote for people who want to bankrupt their companies with higher environmental regulations and free trade agreements that would send their jobs overseas to workers getting pennies on the dollar. The reason you see this is because no person is fully represented by one party. It isn't a buffet where you can pick and choose your candidates positions one by one. It is more like your cable company where your options are Bundle A or Bundle B, even though you hate 90% of the channels in each bundle. I agree there is no real differences between D and R outside some social shenanigans, but Trump is in a class of his own.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) The huge issue is that every negative quality that one group of people say about another group of people whom they want to oppress and denigrate, are projections about their own behavior that they are embarrassed about. When the right winger says: Welfare queens take advantage of the system and are lazy and don't want to work They mean: 1. I don't pay my fair share of taxes nor do I give to charity to help the needy, and I don't want to. 2. I have a safe, secure job and I really don't do anything there but the bare minimum to stay employed. Every day I go to work I steal from my company. I am the lazy one. If I point the finger at someone who doesn't have the job opportunities to live comfortably like I do, then it makes me feel better about stealing time from my employer, and not paying my taxes. When the right winger says: The problem isn't the police officers beating minorities, it is that people think that the rules don't apply to them, and they are an entitled brats who have no respect for authority They mean: I think the rules don't apply to me. I don't like minorities. I think they are subhuman. I am above the law. I have enough money to make any problem I have legally, go away. I can just pay a lawyer to get me off the hook. I am the entitled brat. I just have to blame it on somebody else to make me feel better about my taking advantage of the system due to having a large paycheck. When the right winger says: Being gay is a choice. High functioning autism is a con made by people who don't want to work, and are too mentally weak to handle real life. They mean: These people make me uncomfortable. I don't want to deal with them, because they are different. I think they are disgusting because they have sex with people of the same gender or have trouble with social boundaries/personal hygiene. I choose to be closed minded, I am too mentally weak to handle it. I lack the critical thinking skills to come to the conclusion that these things are real issues. Why would anyone choose to behave in this manner, when it is very out of the ordinary? Life is hard enough. Why would someone add this burden to it? When the right winger says: If I have to raise wages, then there will be less jobs They mean: I am a greedy SOB. I don't want to pay people a living wage, because my standard of living will change marginally and that is too uncomfortable. Maybe I can't afford that new yacht on the Lake every 5 years. Now I have to wait 8. I don't care. I want it now, because I am a whiny, entitled petulant child. This is my I am skirting the responsibility of paying my employees fairly and giving people what they need to live comfortably or survive. Not only will I not pay them, I will not give them the tools necessary to succeed at the goals I've set for them. This way I can continue to lower their pay, because my company is doing barely well enough to stay in business, and I want all of it. It is MINE. You can't have more than x amount, even though you've done all of the work, and I've been out at the country club all week. I have more of these that I will post later. Do you ultimately, but I don't see how this post does anything but rile people up.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) Ok, this had better end his f***ing presidency. I hope a Republican never gets elected again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Educational outcomes across all races are nearly identical when the parents have roughly the same educational and wealth/income controls set in place...or we can look at the cases of thousands of babies from different ethnic groups that have thrived after being placed for adoption with extremely successful/wealthy families of any race, creed or sexual orientation. Heck, according to standardized test scores, Chinese are the best (smartest?) students in the world by about an average of 50-75 points on the SAT or PISA exams. But it has a lot more to do with working twice or three times as hard as white students as it has any correlation with genetics or this concept of superior/dominant races. Intelligence has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with your environment.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) You're so evolved. I'm sure your significant other is some half wit with 6 fingers because "equality." Are we really ignoring the simple fact that people look at significant others and judge them on how they could potentially provide, earn and/or contribute as a parent. Some do for sure, but then you have people who end up with bonafide deadbeats.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 07:30 AM) I can't believe this is 2017. Your gif avatar sums this up perfectly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) For better or worse, Trump is married to his base. He has zero chance of winning over anyone who isn't already in his camp. Live by the sword, die by sword. People will definitely get out and vote after seeing Trump's trainwreck, unless he magically turns it around that is.

caulfield, fake news mate, fake news.

Trump is really a buffoon. Instead of trying to hold on to his base of deplorables, he should be trying to win the majority of American hearts. He's truly clueless if he thinks he'll win another election in 2020. Sans a democrat throw of course.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 09:51 AM) WTF are some Americans embracing Nazi-ism? I mean were these people born in sewers? Good luck getting a job ever and functioning in society if you are proclaiming yourself a Nazi. I mean your future is in one place: Jail. Hopefully these Nazis will be willing to boast about their affiliation so as to never get hired again. I mean out yourselves, proud Nazis. Tell the world who you are. Ridiculous. Social media has already got a couple of the rally goers canned from their jobs. Better stick to the hoods fellas.

Trump has to go. This lunatic is going to really start to pop s*** off either internally or externally for sure. It's only a matter of time. ACT NOW!

Jerksticks... The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. There are a s*** ton of racist motherf***ers in this country. Try to live a day in a minority's shoes and then you can talk mate. These people were driven underground and hiding like the cockroaches and then decided crawl out of their holes when this inept reality tv star came on the scene.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Zero, short of the military disobeying direct orders from the Commander in Chief. No one can stop President Trump from using nuclear weapons. That’s by design. What if the president ordering a nuclear attack isn’t sane? An Air Force major lost his job for asking. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to elect* an insane, extremely fragile reality TV star who lashes out at even the smallest things and has zero impulse control to POTUS? I think Trump is dumb, but I don't think he's that dumb. Time will tell, but that is some scary stuff.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) You forget most Chicago fans are meatheads and take everything so personal. Chicago fans are meatheads? Nah...

How many checks and balances are there with Trump doing risky military type stuff that could get us involved with a WW3?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) Well this guy is f***ed. ChicagoSports‏Verified account @ChicagoSports 2h2 hours ago A rookie mistake? Bears QB Mitch Trubisky picks LeBron over MJ as greatest of all time http://trib.in/2vPTV1G via @TeddyGreenstein He is entitled to his own opinion. He just needs to win games.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) Walk me through how that scenario actually plays out. Do they put it on a truck and drive it over to Syria? Do they load it on a boat? None of our spy intel would ever catch the transfer of the weapon and take it out? Nope, because the US has the most incompetent intelligence community on the planet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) Apparently he tore the hammy off of the bone. Ouch that sounds awful.

I get that they are running out of time but if you finish, go out with a bang. There are a lot of holes in my opinion. Atleast give a some indication with the amount of time elapsed.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 07:33 PM) The Ravens are thinking about signing Kaepernick, but are meeting with fan groups and sponsors first to discuss it. And Ray Lewis. Because you know, manslaughter is fine, but kneeling during a song is unacceptable. Love the NFL. Vick who is an ex-con, returned to the NFL and made millions of dollars. Such a role model for kids. Big Ben? Alleged rapist. You can commit all sorts of heinous acts and still find a job in the NFL unless you take a knee during the anthem.
