You can ask me anything you want direct messaging. I'll give you my true feelings about politics, etc. I guarantee you my positions in that long post about concern about Biden's health and the intentions of Harris/Pelosi/AOC are not mine alone. Some of you folks don't listen to Travis/Whitlock/Rogan/Carlson/Huckabee/Rush. I do. Along with some of the CNN folks like Cuomo.

I'm ready for any conversation. My long post on here may be considered silly/wrong/stupid/moronic by some, but I'm not the only one who fears some of those things I listed as far as a Harris/AOC/Nancy presidency if Joe has to step down as some of us fear. I'm not the only one who has these concerns, folks. Dismiss me all you want.

What's wrong with ACB; she seemed professional, polite, kind of saintly in fact in terms of utter niceness. Why would anybody have a problem with her?

There's a lot to this. I know Biden supporters do not address these things that could happen under a Harris administration (some of us think Joe has shown signs of dementia and will be out within 3-6 months; I hope and pray that's not the case and we get the Obama administration Joe). Here are Things I pray Harris does, but fears she and Pelosi and AOC will change drastically and maybe cause Texas to secede and maybe even cause Civil War-like disturbances. a.)please let people keep guns to protect themselves from mobs and those who want to harm them and their family members and rob them and burn down their homes. b.) go ahead and confiscate all weapons of mass destruction owned by the public such as the rapid fire guns that nutjobs use in school shootings. c.) don't pack the court (ACB does not appear to be a bad choice and there's no reason to change the frickin Supreme Cour makeup, none; even Ruth was against that. c.) do not get rid of all prisons; we need to get innocent people out of there, but we need prisons for rapists, murderers, those who assault people, pedophiles and people like that. d.) do not get rid of all police. People will commit crimes for the rest of time. We need police or the USA is done. Mobs will run the streets. Many radical politicians want to get rid of all police in favor of counselors who go discuss crime with the perpetrators. Bad idea. Very bad. e.) start enforcing the law against looters/arsonists/rioters. e.) do not raise taxes unreasonably on the middle class; that will be so sad. f.) do not add states just to make sure the Democrat party will always have enough electoral votes to win the presidency. No need for that. g.) figure a COVID response that does not include a 2 month complete shutdown of America which I fear is coming I do believe Texas will secede if the gun laws change drastically. Texas seceding will not be good. I do believe a Civil War is possible over some of the things I mentioned. I guess I'll hide in my basement a lot if things change the way some fear they will change under Harris/AOC/Nancy. Again I hope for the best. The Obama administration Joe is a good Joe. I do wish Joe good luck. He seems to be a good man. I pray he is sharp enough and willing enough to not change the system so much that Texas secedes or we have a Civil War. p.s. Joe Rogan and others have mentioned some of my points. It's not just me rambling. Peace to all!!! We can get along even if we disagree in the greatest nation around!

If this is true .,. wow

This concerns me. There's a proposal I read that will, if passed, eliminate all prisons in the USA and let everybody free because of inequities in the court system in the past. A proposal is to have no more arrests, no prisons, at least that's something I read coming out of Colin K's camp. This concerns me because some people in prison have kidnapped and abused KIDS. Can't let those people out of prison, folks. And we must continue to put such offenders away. Should be interesting how far we go with some of the proposals in the future to correct wrongdoings of the past. I am ALL for the protection of kids. They remain the most special thing about the world, innocent kids. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colin-kaepernick-abolish-police-prisons-essay-medium-2020-10-08/

I have been very busy today and not studied the issue but I think the story is Trump zealots blocked the highways? I'm TOTALLY against that behavior if that's what occurred. Totally against it. I also as a hobby have followed Portland nightly all summer into the fall. And they march/riot every single night, totally turning downtown into a ghosttown. Businesses have fled. Now not every night do they start fires and smash at least a few windows, but most definitey 3/4s of the nights. I know; my own eyes tell me. I don't need second hand accounts; the streamers are pretty entertaining as a matter of fact. I am AGAINST all destruction of business and/or the flow of traffic on highways and it breaks my heart downtown Chicago has been affected. I am a law and order guy 100 percent. If Trumpies blocked the highways, I want them arrested just like the BLM protestors who do the same.

IMO, Don't worry or be annoyed about that Chisoxfn ... Vegas odds are decisively in favor of Biden and no way in hell the odds would be THIS decisive in Vegas if Trump had a chance. Just my take. Vegas always knows.

If you watch the Seattle real estate podcasts you will see the nightly riots in Portand and Seattle have decimated those downtowns, which are now ghosttowns. Keep on breaking windows marchers, you've effectively ruined your downtowns. Dowtowns ruined. And I'm not blaming African Americans. If you watch the nightly riots they are 85 percent white twenty somethings in full body armor doing the damage.

Harris/Biden are locks to win. Have you seen the Vegas odds? Vegas DOES NOT miss by that much and it's Harris in a landslide according to oddsmakers.

You guys are such a tough crowd. Who asked me to address any concerns? I have had several posts on Tony, one acknowledging he's been in the public eye since his 20s and has made some mistakes, yet I'd bet a lot of money he's done a lot of good in his life. Geez, tough crowd.

I'm very happy and kind of embarrassed for Sox nation. Fans have treated Tony terribly on Twitter and many on this board have been quite negative. People need to get a grip IMO. The guy is old. He's been in the public eye since his 20s. Yes he's made some mistakes. He also has a helluva baseball resume and I just betcha in his long life he's given a lot back to society in the forms of $$$ to good causes, etc. I could be mistaken, but MLB makes it easy for some guys to embrace different charities if they wish to do so and I betcha Tony has been generous. Just a guess. I respect Tony's baseball knowledge and despite some shortcomings on a couple occasions in his personal life, he's by no means the devil. I hope Sox fans who despise the hire suck it up and support him. Geez it's going to be a miserable time around here and in his tenure if fans hate, hate, hate. Trust greg on this one ... Tony will not disappoint, health permitting. GO SOX! Lets win a title or three. Team still has a lot of work to do on the roster.

I thought it was a pretty good WS, but I had to shake my head in disgust at so many hitters with the uppercut trying to hit it out. HR or K. Disgusting form of baseball. I'll give the pitchers the benefit of the doubt for only going 4-5.5 innings as starters cause of no spring training. But modern baseball certainly angers me.

I wonder if you even listen to him. I don't like blanket statements. I like to consider everything them make up my mind. Whitlock has quite a fat wallet for a supposed dummy.

Well, I agree with all 3 moves. Nice start to offseason.

Look ... politics go both ways. I encourage you to listen to Whitlock and get back to me. There are two sides to ALL political issues. Balta, just because you believe something doesn't mean it's right. There are two opinions on all matters involving politics. also

Fair question. If he did that, there should be an investigation and if guilty, I'd be for a lifetime ban of Tony. Fair enough.

Politics and sports do not mix, period. If they continue to mix, crowds are going to be down down down and TV ratings will continue to plummet. I'm not sure why some consider Tony LaRussa a monster. I'd love to see all the help he's given to less fortunate and support he's given to charity through the years. I don't know for sure, but even though he's mighty crabby (so is Belichick) I bet Tony is a fine man. Anybody who simply dismisses him as a bad man without a full examination of his life, is simply unfair IMO.

That's kind of unfair, isn't it? But thanx for answering my question; I do appreciate that.

Did anybody even ask Tony in the press conference about his kneeling stance? Is this is a big issue regarding Tony or a message board thing?

Greg was in favor of both moves. Trust me, I know Tony is gonna lead the White Sox to greatness. Sad that he had to tweet tonight that not everybody is happy. I wish Tony the best of health and the rest will take care of itself. Open up your hearts and somebody please start a thread that welcomes Tony to Chicago.

I voted today and felt good about how it was handled by the people in Kansas. I don't sense any funny stuff going on. I'm convinced we are in a new era and yes I am concerned about the election being corrupt and fixed. Today renewed my faith in the system at least in Kansas.

I'm starting to get upset for my team and city after reading Twitter. Some Sox fans are brutalizing LaRussa verbally. One guy says he's "embarrassed." You'd think we hired Bozo the Clown or one of Andy the Clown's relatives instead of a HALL OF FAMER. My guess is it's concern about his age even if people won't admit "age-ism." I thought my team and city could show more class than dismiss a Hall of Famer like this. Can't even wait and see? I can't wait til the few of us that support this move and/or are willing to give Tony-baby a chance get the last laugh. Go to Twitter, type in LaRussa and be embarrassed for some/most? Sox fans. Seriously. How bout welcoming Tony to town and giving him a chance. Sorry if I'm out of line. I just got very upset reading Twitter.

I'll conclude by saying "Don't worry; be happy." If you live in Chicago you usually get our weather a day later so look forward to tomorrow, not a cloud in the sky, light breeze, fall colors abounding and TONY LARUSSA is your new manager. He's not going to fail, folks. Have a glass of wine, beer or a shot of bourbon. GO away COVID, we have some baseball to enjoy with Tony at the helm. I'll stop now and go enjoy this beautiful day and stop posting my happiness about this matter. At least toast me if you have a drink tonight, cause I'm one of the few Sox fans that are elated. Bye!

Many of you are Debbie Downers regarding Tony LaRussa. Read my reaction and have an open mind and tell me where I'm wrong. The Sox have an experienced Hall of Famer in the dugout. He does NOT CELEBRATE FOOLS. If somebody rips him a new one for not taking out Giolito or Kopech in the sixth inning of a shutout dominant performance he'll tell them to go jump in Lake Michigan. Have an open mind and realize this is GOOD NEWS, folks. Who cares what the players think? Tony is a gruff guy with the media but he's not some despicabe Scrooge to players. He has what's important: the street cred so to speak in the form of a world championship baseball resume. Plus he has karma on his side. Unfairly fired by Hawk; now destiny to wear the White Sox hat with good talent!!!! Don't just dismiss me. Read what I say closely, THEN COMMENT on why I'm so happy. Tony LaRussa ... a glorious fall day.
