QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) By your statement all laws are illegal as all laws are made for certain reasons. ....lol
-
QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) The reason a law is made does not necessarily devalue the law itself. The law's value was to suppress the black vote. The fact that you think it's only about photo ID tells me you haven't read much about this law.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Just for clarification those who are calling African Americans a "minority" now are grossly incorrect, right? African Americans outnumber whites by a significant amount in the census now, isn't that correct? Uhhhh...no. African-Americans make up 12% of the population.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) I never said it was a scandal. I just stated my opinion that it looks bad for a former president, who also happens to be a multimillionaire, to use tax dollars to help pay salaries of employees of a not for profit that brings in billions of dollars and uses 90% of it on expenses, salaries and travel. The top executives of the Clinton Foundation make over 500k per year and we need to use tax dollars to help pay for it? According to CharityWatch, the foundation spends 88% of its money on programs and only 12% on overhead. Where are you getting 90% from?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 07:14 AM) Nicely put. I finally read the gospel a few years back and I was amazed. It should just be titled "How to live". It's almost impossible as a human with a conscience to disagree with any of the things Jesus says. Emulate that man's attitude and you'll probably have a wonderful life. It saddens me that men have twisted those words so much over the years, to the point where it's super trendy to bash it without ever reading it. I'd challenge even the strongest of atheists to try to disagree that those words are good. Jesus' horrific promotion of "hell" is more than sufficient to nullify his hippie-dippie "love everybody" talks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 20, 2016 -> 04:40 AM) Did you read the story?? Obama LIED to the American public. Hillary lies all the time as well. He didn't lie. It wasn't a ransom. It would be a ransom if we paid for their release. We were giving them money they were already owed and we negotiated a freebie bonus out of the delivery.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) How are the Obama apologists going to explain this one?? http://nypost.com/2016/08/18/state-departm...soners-release/ What are you looking to be explained? The US managed to get a bunch of prisoners released for absolutely nothing. We already owed Iran that money. It's like eating a meal at a restaurant and being handed the bill, but asking for free dessert before you'll pay. AND THEY GIVE IT TO YOU.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) I don't really get it. Is that like a Sharia joke or Looks like a play off of Nazi Germany's yellow stars for Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_badge

Oh snap. God just outed Tony Perkins as gay.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) In other news, Rudy Giuliani is going insane. Why is that insane? Everyone knows Obama was elected in 1999 shortly after he founded ISIS.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) Now that the confession is deemed involuntary, the state really has nothing else to try him on, correct? I read the state has 90 days to appeal They didn't have anything else. Brendan Dassey better move out of Manitowac County once he's released before he finds himself the suspect of a murder investigation.
-
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Looks like Dassey's conviction has been overturned. Good. That conviction was far worse than Avery's.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) The reason why he would say "2nd amendment people" is that the entire passage was about the 2nd amendment. So why would someone who was Anti-Clinton but not care about the 2nd amendment be referenced. Not buying it. If the entire context is about 2nd Amendment supporters, there'd be no reason to say there was nothing folks could do to stop Clinton. He singled out gun owners for a reason. It's not like the idea that people will need to use guns to stop an oppressive government is unheard of in conservative politics. His rallies regularly have supporters calling for the imprisonment and death of Hillary Clinton. He's fueling it.
-
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) I actually dont think he meant that Clinton should be shot. He is just a poor speaker so his phrasing comes across awkward. I think that he meant that the 2nd amendment people could fight it if she tried to abolish the 2nd amendment through the supreme court. Why would opposing Clinton politically be limited to "2nd amendment people" (gun owners)? He said if she starts picking judges, there's nothing anyone can do...except maybe people with guns.
-
Dude just suggested that people assassinate Hillary Clinton if she wins the election. What the f***? The campaign's spin team is saying that he was referring to gun owners rallying to vote for Trump. Uh, except the comment was about what to do about Hillary if she wins, so that's kinda impossible.
-
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) But what about somebody like me? I despise both Hillary and Trump, so if I vote it has to be a write in. Is it worth me going to the polls just to vote for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Jesse Ventura? Greg, it's never worth you going to the polls.
-
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) He was qualified. But it doesn't mean he was a good president. He was OK but definitely nothing special and I think we are worse off today than 8 years ago for sure. By what specific metrics?
-
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) My favorite thing so far in this crazy election is Obama calling Trump unqualified. Holy smokes Obama! While this may be true, you were a senator for like 9 minutes and spent the entire time prepping for a slam dunk election. The pot and the kettle are both black Mr. President. Let's not forget you were technically the least qualified ever, regarding service time in positions of leadership. Not trying to bash Obama and make people defensive, just pointing out the hilarity & absurdity. What's absurd about it? Obama was a Harvard educator lawyer who understood the Constitution and (like virtually all serious candidates) was knowledgeable about the issues. Trump doesn't seem to know the first thing about the Constitution or any significant issue, and isn't even inclined to learn.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Ah, this is all according to form. Hillary gets the preferential treatment from the FBI and it's been all downhill since. With the media's help, the runaway train scenario is now being played out. Hillary (who gave a horrible, say nothing screamathon speech at the convention and was jeered during the speech; a speech that nonetheless got rave reviews) now is granted the "runaway winner" scenario over the rude kook Donald Trump. Trump is getting the media tag of being a rude wacko who will bring us to war right away and is getting no air time except for the "wackjob Trump" stories. Hillary meanwhile is staying fairly quiet as the media does the coronating for her. Very sad and pathetic we can't have a fair election. Hillary shouldn't spend a dime on her campaign. She's getting all the free publicity she needs. The "landslide" scenario has been painted. Stately (lol) former First Lady, the stately, accomplished Secretary of State (lol) runs away with election over the Republican nutjob/racist/warmonger. Trump should drop out. He has nothing to gain by staying in and letting this scenario continue. Nothing but positive stuff in the Hillary soundbites; nothing but horror expressed during the Trump soundbites.

2016 Rio Olympics Thread

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:35 PM) Note: It is only drama and excitement if I don't know what happens. You get rid of that when you report live. Being live is a large part of what gives sports drama and excitement. You're seeing something happen right now and experiencing it with the crowds in the stands and the competitors themselves. Taped sports are trash and should only be accepted when there's no reasonable way of being lived (like it taking place halfway around the world). -

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) I blame NBC, not the news sources. It's 2016, enough with this tape delay stuff. Show it live somewhere. Yeah this is totally NBC's fault for tape delaying. You can't expect sports results not to be everywhere as soon as they happen. That's the nature of sports. -
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:44 AM) How come there's been no serious talk of making sure the election is not "rigged?" Because there's no reason to believe it is being rigged. This is pre-emptive sore loser talk from Trump. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:44 AM) The DNC cannot be trusted. They wanted Bernie out. They'll do anything including rigging elections. There's no evidence the DNC rigged the primary. The DNC establishment wanted Hillary to win (just like the GOP establishment wanted Trump to lose), but they didn't alter the votes. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:44 AM) How come Obama isn't talking about making sure the election is fair??? Isn't that his responsibility when there's so much talk of rigged elections? He did. He destroyed Trump for being a baby.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 07:57 AM) I have no idea why Carson was targeted as the buffoon of this election cycle. He wasn't. He's just dumb. I mean, really - can you point to any of his massive gaffes as anything but unforced errors? He wasn't getting hit with gotcha questions. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 07:57 AM) Ben Carson is not a nut; We pointed out a ton of nutty things Ben Carson believes. So how is he not a nut?
-
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 07:05 PM) Yet you guys have no interest in seeing what he had to say on Hannity. The best and brightest cannot run for President anymore cause the media will not rest until all opponents of the favored Democratic candidate have been appropriately buried and tagged as nutjobs/totally unfit for office. He is a nutjob and unfit for office. His statements prove that he isn't the best nor the brightest.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 06:05 PM) Don't forget this nugget... "I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," Carson said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday. "I'm telling you, there is a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first." Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/ben-...4#ixzz4GZoVRypU And don't forget that Obamacare is the worst thing since slavery. Child labor? Jim Crow? Women not being able to vote? Minor inconveniences.
