As he should. If he somehow lost to this team he would have lost to the worst team to make the finals in my lifetime. Thankfully he should be able to hold these fantasy all stars off.
His team isn’t much better. But he’s incredible.

I'm fucking furious. We are literally trafficking migrant kids into slavery. This should be considered an international human rights violation on a huge scale.

Lebron is literally doing this by himself. It’s crazy how good he is.

I don't think they'd call Collins up right now unless there were no other options. Alfredo Gonzalez or Brett Austin will get the call first.
Agreed. Let Collins continue to do what he’s doing.

On the plus side. He will be super cheap

Lester came to a shitty Cubs team

It probably would help if Trump actually had any idea about what he is talking about.
His knowledge of trade is pretty shitty

He knows "Spygate" was already taken right? You cant just rehash a "gate"

I dont think the CNN number is accurate.

Wow. I grew up with a lot of muslims and never heard of anyone getting an arranged marriage. All the girls that dated white dudes had to hide it though.
The ones I know of were Indian or Pakistani

The girl I dated in high school was a muslim so I never met her parents and I couldn't pick her up from her house because her parents I could see that I was a white guy. I always had a designated driver but I didn't feel particularly welcome by her family hah
Yeah, ive seen this even with religious families as well. Several of the kids I went to HS with ended up in arranged marriages.

That is the issue I have. Leaving it to the internet probably makes it worse.
Maybe, maybe not. But I dont think the planning details and logistics should be something thats public. These kids are learning from each other.

Are guns more easily obtained today than 10 years ago? There seems to be more of these incidences recently.
If not, what has changed in the last 10 years. If so, this should be where the focus is in preventing guns from getting in the hands of these killers.
The number of total guns on the street is certainly increasing. The secondary market is flooded with affordable options, even at stores like Cabelas.

He also mentioned Facebook and video games. I didn't realize we're the only country on Earth that has those two things. You learn something new every day.
Probably because a lot of students said the kid wasnt bullied. Wanted to make a point that couldnt be disproven.

Bringing these guys up for ticket selling sake isn't going to work. I was talking to a guy Saturday night who has premium season tickets and has had them for 50 years. This is it for him. He's bailing after this season. Can't take it anymore. I told him things are going to change, but this year's model spooked him. It is one of the dangers. The people paying for tickets that you buy on Stubhub dirt cheap don't like throwing their money away. Plus the new tax cuts take away the write off bringing clients to a game brings. The White Sox are going to have to do something for these people to make them stay.
Win games and people will come. Win games consistently over several seasons and you will be selling tickets like crazy. I think having a cost controlled core is pretty paramount to that sustained success.

I do like the idea of one big entrance, metal detector and a SEAL team. Nobody is getting through that with a pistol.
Needs to have marines with swords drawn and then you walk through them every day. It would be like getting married every morning

They need to stop making each shooter famous. A lot of these are kids getting ideas from other shooters. This is also now two events in a row where a male was upset at being rejected by a female (allegedly). These "incels" are being radicalized on the internet.

Prior to the new modem+router I was getting anywhere from 6 to 60 Mbps in my office on both of my computers.
Now I am getting well over 100 download and 30 upload(just got 283 download). It screams. WIth the orbi satellite placed away from the main router, my wifi also has very minimal degradation when you move into my basement. Fantastic so far.
It was difficult getting comcast to set up a 3rd party modem, it took me until my third call to get someone who knew what they were doing. And she was awesome.

Trump is flat out melting down today. Meanwhile his beloved wife is home for the first time in 5 days after surgery. Such love.

Cernovich photoshopped a picture of the kids jacket to push the conspiracy theory that it was antifa. Look forward to seeing that viewpoint.

Fox News has the most viewers. I consider them mainstream media.
Of course they are. So are the massive radio hosts that have millions of listeners.

Good post. Surprised he had the guts to post it. I think some businesses would fire you for expressing an opinion publicly and also acknowledging God in this. I would think in the day and age of PC a chief of police might get in trouble for posting this. I feel his pain, though. He is upset as he should be.
Dude. Stop it. Nobody cares if you mention god in a statement. It happens literally all the time. Watch a single interview at a sporting event.

One thing is for sure. When this crap moves back towards the middle where everyone else lives it’s going to be a breath of fresh air.

Yes it does man. Opinion is free. Look at CNN or Fox. It’s full of opinion now. They report the news but you can definitely detect the approving or disapproving tone in every article. Everyone has to admit that. Most CNN articles will report what Washington is doing and hint at why it sucks. Most Fox News articles will report what Washington is doing and hint why it is good. Always been that way depending on control but now you can definitely detect more fervent agenda.
So to say these crazy left and right wing outlets are more damaging or unacceptable brings up the issue of where to draw the line. Some opinion is acceptable but some isn’t? Since it’s all opinion now how can you even draw a line?
Trump wishing the news would go away is fascism. The MSM suppressing conservative thought is fascism. Colleges throwing out conservative speakers is fascism. It’s all fascism.
And your suggestion is the definition of fascism for sure, and very condescending to the human brain in general. People can say whatever they want no matter what, that’s America. Just because CNN & Fox have billions of dollars behind them, their opinions don’t cross this invisible line of trying to twist the reader’s mind?
Jim Acosta has an agenda and the biggest of platforms. Isn’t that kinda sick when you think about it?
Opinion is free. The vehicle is not. And free speech still comes with consequences.
Also, conservative thoughts and opinions aren’t being suppressed. That’s categorically false. I can scroll through talk radio in my car and 90 plus percent are conservative.

Yea but that would play right into the narrative of the tiny, tiny fraction of America that is extreme alt-right: “The government is out to censor free speech and quiet the free thinkers” etc.
Can’t go after free speech under any circumstances. It just can’t be an option on the table.
I do not think the first amendment covers internet websites pushing fake information on the masses for the purpose of radicalization. They can certainly speak their minds to other people as much as they want (with consequences) but it does not entitle them to putting it on the internet in a format that mimics actual information. Otherwise, what the fuck is "Be best" about?

Lebron could have had 25 assists. He’s amazing. Much tougher test from the West though
