QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) Stop making your mission to bring trump down. Your mission should be to report, good or bad. Not taking anything you can and finding the worst angle to put on it. Just report, good and bad. Reporting facts doesn't matter with him. He'll attack journalists anyway.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 08:01 AM) Nobody was beating Trump this year. Trump would have done the same thing to Biden, Sanders, Warren, etc that he did to Hillary and all the Republicans he beat. He would have made it about personal attacks. Normal politicians don't know how to respond to that. Trump won the nomination of his party and the presidency without offering real, substantive plans for his presidency. The voters didn't care. They don't care that since the election, he has already backed away from and changed many of the plans he did run on. It was the perfect strorm. It should be an interesting few years. Going into election day, I thought Trump winning was impossible. Now I honestly think that only Obama could have beat him.

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) This may have already been explained, but can you or someone explain this to me? How much cash would the Sox have to throw in to offset, say, Robertson's contract if it were Quintana? Or if it's just Quintana? What kind of dollars are we talking about here? Cubs tax = lost Sox revenue from the fact that their inter-city rival and defending World Champs get better with Quintana.

Holy hell just something happen already.

Hannity also called Obama elitist for eating mustard on burger. Then called Trump's daddy a "blue collar billionaire"

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) Right now, there is no new healthcare plan. It has been 8 years and there is still no replacement option from the GOP. White Sox trade Jose Quintana for three players to be named later

Initial thoughts: 1 - Moncada is gonna be fun 2 - Lopez and Giolito alone is one hell of a get for Eaton, let alone adding Dunning to it 3 - Kopech has got mad helium 4 - Collins is our best shot at getting a franchise catcher 5 - Wow, they love Zack Burdi. 6 - Alec Hansen shoutout! 7 - Carson Fulmer needs to get his groove back

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) So what percentage would you people put on Trump starting WW3? 5% It'd be higher but I don't think he lasts a whole term.

To go with the sandwich analogy it's more along the lines of you are being told you have to decide which fast food chain you'll eat all of your meals at for the next for years. Hillary is like Subway - it's gonna be reliable and won't be bad for you depending on some circumstances. Trump is like saying "f*** fast food chains! I'm going to get all of my meals at Blockbuster! They have popcorn!"

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:27 PM) Pretty sure the Sox are looking for at least three players in a trade. Although if Bridich calls up Hahn and offers "Rodgers + Dahl for Quintana" I would pack Q's bag and drive him to the airport Rockies fans would be pretty furious. No mlb team could be a Dahl/Rodgers offer unless teams opened up the whole farm for the sox If Rockies offered that up, I wouldn't even ask for a third piece in case they change their mind.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Trying to come up with a decent MLB comp for Austin Meadows if he develops the way he should...curious to see what you all think. Solve: Austin Meadows >/= Adam Eaton? Austin Meadows >/= Grady Sizemore? Any other ideas? We merge him with Adam Engel and get Mike Trout. http://piratesbreakdown.com/2016/03/03/pit...ext-mike-trout/

Switch battery life of 2.5 hours to 6 hours seems pretty great for a console, considering that's what handhelds would run. Breath of the Wild trailer made me think of Shadow of the Colossus meets Morrowind. Odyssey looks dope. The only disappointing aspect was only 32GB of on-board storage, but that can be expanded.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 10:10 PM) What in my post made you deduce it was a troll post? What did I say that was not honest and to the point, answering his questions? Cause you keep pushing false narratives.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 08:54 PM) Rep. Chaffetz threatening to subpoena the ethics watchdog for daring to criticize Dear Leader. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/jaso...og-trump-233575 If you remember, chaffetz was the one who routinely leaked information about EMAILS and has even said recently that he still wants to investigate EMAILS. But calling out Trump for his blatant conflicts of interest is unacceptable. Glad to see some GOP members truly don't care about the nation over their party

He just said he doesn't blame for other countries taking advantage of the US. I want to say I can't believe that an actual President Elect said that.

Dear lord the name dropping/calling. Grow up already.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Its an ethics nightmare. He's going to get impeached. Only if Republicans actually stand up to him.

Whelp, he's beginning to crack.

Yeah, I dunno if we can chalk that up to mental illness.

"We have much hacking going on." The eloquence of Obama to the stupidity of this man.

Trump leads off the press conference with saying that he respects the press. lol

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) (shamelessly stolen) Nixon: You could never have an administration more corrupt than mine Trump: Hold my beer Nixon: ...Wait this isn't beer Fun fact: You can't get a beer with Trump, because he doesn't drink alcohol. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) Look at this from the opposite perspective (and ignore the fact that what I'm going to say also is stateable about the presidential election, that's unavoidable because of what the FBI did). Hypothetically say that this material is fabricated, or at least the Buzzfeed content. Hypothetically say that even some of the material that CNN reported on, the 2 page summary given to the President Elect, is incorrect and false. That material was leaked to CNN within a week and they were able to basically confirm it is the material given to the President Elect. In that case, do you not have an intelligence organization that is intervening in politics to discredit the President Elect for reasons unknown and using material that the general public can't verify or see in order to do so (yeah, that part)? Yes it makes sense given that the only thing in the universe he hasn't insulted is anything Russian, but do you put it past America's intelligence agencies to smear a politician for their own reasons (quite obviously no)? You kinda covered any response I could have

Never did I imagine we'd have a President that is so un-American.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 08:26 AM) I know the bolded is a typo, but I feel like "forge tit" should be a thing that means something. I think we need to work together to define this new phrase. It has potential. I like it. I'll let you figure out where to start. In more unsettling news, Donnie is asking if we're in Nazi Germany with how he's being treated.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 10:07 PM) No. I will take Mike Pence. F*** this. One of my Republican friends a while ago commented on this and said something about this being a sickness on democracy. I replied that when a patient is having a heart attack, you have to end the heart attack first and keep the patient alive. You deal with the clogging arteries once the patient is alive. Mike Pence is not, as far as I know, beholden to a foreign power. Fix the heart attack. Also, the nuclear codes.
