Gun Violence in America
You are basically telling the NRA and the politicians who are kneeling before them they are full of shit. That more guns doesn't make things safer. Practice what they preach and see what happens. I will offer my thoughts and prayers in advance.

FS: Some marketing ideas to spice up the rebuild
What they should do is lower the price of concessions. It worked like a charm for the Falcons. They already do it for $1 dog Wednesday. Make a beer $5, you are still turning a huge profit. The tickets are pretty much minor league priced. Make the concessions minor league priced until you field a major league team. From the sounds of Sullivan's article about how JR feels, it doesn't appear they have many tickets sold for the rest of the season.

Gun Violence in America
Oh, I can see it. It's the right that can't see it. They don't want to be shot, so no guns. Yet they claim we are all safer if there are more guns. NRA campaign contributions are a hell of a thing.

He tried. His hands were tied. The little he was able to do, including a provision about mental health, Trump repealed it. It pretty much is a Republican thing.

Gun Violence in America
It wouldn't totally prevent it, but maybe the amount of times it happens goes down. Doing nothing hasn't helped. More guns isn't going to help. If it was the answer, they wouldn't be checking people for guns at Trump rallies and at Pence's speech at the NRA convention. If more guns was the answer, and made things safer, why would they ban them at these events?

Has anyone here ever attended a Trump rally? If so, do they check for guns?

No, now it's kind of late. New news cycle. Besides, that was all a hoax.

2018 Cubs catch-all thread
Yes, and if Russell is half the player he is supposed to be, he can be flipped as well.

Thoughts and prayers, way too soon to talk about any kind of gun control. What will work is if everyone is packing. Then no one will ever get shot. More guns, less shooting. Very logical.

Can someone point to the law democrats are responsible for according to Trump that forces the break up of families, or is that just more dishonest,fake news the media has him on camera saying?

2018 MLB Draft
If it is a hitter, no question, I agree. I would take Mize or Singer also. Madrigal is someone I believe can’t be screwed up. If he were 4 or 5 inches taller, he would probably be the consensus 1-1. This is baseball, he isn’t a 6’3” power forward or a 180 lb middle linebacker, take the baseball player.

2018 Films thread
I really am not too sure. I guess when it loads up, it loads up a little more on the debit card than the actual price of the ticket, so maybe that way. And I don't see how they could even buy a 3D movie. On my app, it always says they are unavailable anyways. I wouldn't be so stupid to buy popcorn and lose a $9.95 see all the movies you want deal, especially since you load up on the Stubs program anyway and get free stuff.

Rangers @ White Sox, Fister @ Shields, 5/17, 7:10 PM, NBCH, GT
I hope it warms up by game time. It is freezing in downtown Chicago right now.

2018 Films thread
They said it was some sort of fraud prevention. That I was "chosen" for the beta group. They are saying people are using it to watch 3D movies, seeing the same movie twice, using it for concessions. I have only used it for the correct movie and had no idea you, at least for a while could see the same movie twice. Personally, I think it's a way they are trying to keep people from seeing more movies, especially crap you would never even consider without the pass, since it costs them every time and they supposedly have a cash crunch right now. It only inspired me to use it more.

Any other Moviepass people out there have to take pictures of their tickets now? WTF.

I saw some highlights of this guy. Obviously not as athletic as most of the top guys, but he knows what he is doing on a basketball court.

So let me guess, you don't get any of your information from what anyone could consider biased journalism.

According to this, uninsured are twice as likely to die in the ER than insured. I thought everything is the same. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uninsured-twice-as-likely-to-die-in-er/

Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
If the Sox do get a top 5 pick again, that will mean they have had a 3, an 8, a 10, an 11, a 4 and a top 5 in 6 years, and still would have an average at best system without the trades. Larry Himes rebuilt the White Sox with a 5, 7, 10, and 4.

**President Trump 2018 Thread**
Yes he did. Supposedly you get the same care. LMAO. There was a 60 minutes story on this. Some hospital in LA used to dump the non insured a block or so away from another hospital, And I am sure the people with no insurance or bad insurance get the same care as those with the best plans. Just ask the mom who has a United Health plan that denied her liver transplant. If what he claims is true, why have insurance?

**President Trump 2018 Thread**
Is there a breaking point in number of lies or crimes committed or conflicts of interest when the right will actually turn on Trump? I always thought there was, but I am beginning to think there is not. Some will jump ship but not enough to remove him from office before his term ends.

Yes. He being an enabler at the very least makes his quote the pot calling the kettle black.

"If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom." Rex Tillerson to VMI grads today.
