"Thrown our budget out of whack". What a f***ing ghoul this guy is.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 11:24 AM) The gun control debate is a sham and its the real cop out. The tough issues are addressing mental health. It's like the gun control debate in Chicago. It's bulls***. People debate guns because they don't want to address the socioeconomic conditions and institutionalized racism that compels young black men to shoot each other. They don't want to because they benefit from that system. I suppose I wanted to get more political than I realized. I find the gun control debate incredibly frustrating. Not sure how any thing with mental health would have stopped this guy. He had no really history of violence.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 03:11 PM) Speaking of Thursday night and injuries, both Packers starting tackles are doubtful for tomorrow night. Both back ups are also out. Third string tackles. Yippie!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 08:06 AM) America’s probable newest senator has likened the Koran to Mein Kampf and blamed 9/11 on godlessness He also argued that Keith Ellison shouldn't have been seated in the House because he's Muslim, that being gay should be criminal, and he's been thrown off of the Alabama Supreme Court twice. Totally normal party. We just need more bipartisanship.

Tony Romo is awesome calling games. Was really surprised at how good he was. I think he is calling the Bears vs Packers game Thursday night.

Is Trump going to address the 3.5 million people in Puerto Rico that are without power and clean water or is he just going to give more racist speeches down in Alabama?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) Come on, this is so freakin' short sighted. I wouldn't label any of the presidents of my lifetime (Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama) to be any of those things. Buddy, I got some news for you about Reagan.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 07:53 PM) Well yeah, this isn't the 1950s anymore. There will be no "war" with North Korea and that has been true for years. If they really attack anyone, they are gone off the map. End of story, no matter who is in charge, Obama, Trump, or The Rock. That's the main reason they haven't attacked anyone, just acted tough. Just like there would be no "war" with Iraq. 15 years later.... Your right, it's not the 1950's anymore. North Korea is not some small country in the middle of a revolution. They are a militarized country. It would be a lengthy and bloody war. It would end up costing the lives of possibly millions of people. Why do we always say if "North Korea attacks anyone". They never have. They have never bombed another nation. We have. We are currently bombing 7 different countries. Maybe we are the one's other countries worry about.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) Again, any president in the past 15 years saying that military strikes are on the table is talking about the destruction of the regime in NK, and implicit in that is the whole country will be affected/destroyed. "Genocide" is a nice bit of editorializing btw. During the Korean war, we killed close to 30% of the North Korean population. A war today could be worse.

Same with Nikki Haley. She is 100% complicit in this. If she thought Trump was an idiot and had to face palm during the UN speech, she should quit. She won't. She has been just as vocal about this. They all want war, they love it. It's the whole party, not just Trump.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 12:54 AM) Maybe it's just me, but I think it's bad when the president of the United States threatens genocide. When was the last time a leader of a country gave a speech at the UN and threaten to destroy another country? Seems like something that never happens.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 18, 2017 -> 10:07 PM) We've got $700B to dump into the military, but we could never possibly have universal healthcare or free public college education I'm waiting for all "How are we going to pay for this?" think pieces on this. Senate backs bill to pump $700 billion into military Lmao.

That AK had some kinda of drum clip on it. Maybe the cop was planning on going to war later that day.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) Don't really excuse the shooting, but that's a pretty unsympathetic victim there. You're running away from cops, causing damage and threatening the safety of the public (swerving into oncoming traffic, barely missing an oncoming car). Was the cop alleging that Smith had a gun in the car? What's his excuse for firing? I feel like there's a puzzle piece missing here... So the sentence for causing property damage should be execution on the spot? Judge Dredd America.

There is also a difference between isolationism and not supporting international trade deals because they will ultimately end up exploiting workers in this country and aboard. If you think the left is isolationist, then you know little about the history of leftist internationalism.

Imagine thinking Bernie Sanders would have been an ineffective President, but thinking Hillary Clinton would have been very effective as she took advice from Henry Kissinger on what middle east country to bomb next. "Bernie Wing" is just the left and for the left, Bernie Sanders is the compromise. I like Bernie Sanders, but he is not my ideal politician. He still holds some s***ty views, he is by no means perfect. He is often criticized from the left on his foreign policy stances. He is so popular with the left in America, because he is literally one of the only people in government who holds any of these views even in the slightest way.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) The anti-free trade/TPP stances and $15 minimum wage seemed to be Clinton changes that were pressed from the Bernie wing. I don't think she ever backed a $15 minimum wage. She also didn't back TPP because it was so unpopular in the whole country, not just with the left. Although there is almost no doubt she would have went through with it if she was president.

I'd love to know what these concessions were.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) What is the current status of media? Where does it come from now? Who dictates what is acceptable and mainstream? Media used to be centralized in New York and have traditional New York liberal values. Values that were in favor of social liberties and free speech. Now media comes from a tiny little area in California with revolutionary leftist views. "revolutionary leftist views" Is the media being run by Maoists?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) I agree it doesn't make sense that the media has a war on the marketplace of ideas but that's how it is. ESPN fired a tennis announcer for using the term "guerilla warfare" during a Venus Williams match. ESPN fired Curt Schilling after he said he disagreed with the transgender bathroom ruling in North Carolina on his personal Facebook page. ESPN fired Mike Ditka after he said Obama was a bad president and hed be voting for Trump. ESPN suspended Linda Cohn for saying ESPN has gotten too political. Hill makes some generalization about the POTUS and his administration and insults the people who voted for him and they do nothing. She's in line with the groupthink. She represents what Bob Iger and Disney prefer politically so she gets held to a different standard. ESPN has taken sports, something we love in and use as an escape, and jammed their political garbage in it. Their business is being swallowed as a result. Viewers are leaving as if their content was transmitted on DVDs. They're a horrible business and they will suffer as a result. I hope their employees find new jobs before ESPN's leadership lops another group of employees. Is "groupthink" just any political position you don't agree with?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Because he's just the worst. Haha I'm glad most people don't think this way. There is a reason why other Democratic senators are jumping behind Sanders and this bill. They know what the future of the party is and it isn't Clinton and the "centrist wing".

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 09:56 AM) He's not a Democrat. Chuck Schumer says hi. Why are liberals so obsessed with pointing out that Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat? It's just amazing.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 08:53 AM) It's a meaningless bill that won't pass being used as a political football to get 2020 hopefuls Bernie-points. That's all. There's very little to see here in the short term. It's also just a bad bill. I support single payer - not this bill. It's a good bill, that if anything is bringing attention to medicare for all, that is becoming a more popular idea in this country every day. You keep saying that you support single payer, but seem to say it's a bad idea every time Bernie Sanders or others try to get things passed. It's just the same pessimistic attitude from Democrats over and over. The party of "we won't be able to do that".

Sanders will introduce universal health care, backed by 15 Democrats I think this is actually up to 17 now. Hopeful this continues to gain support.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) The few billions of dollars Obama sent to Iran would be pretty helpful right about now. Lmao. Thanks, Obama.
