King is an absolute disgrace.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) Police murdering citizens and facing no consequences can happen to white people, too. https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/939014...src=twsrc%5Etfw Don't watch unless you want to see a man murdered while crying for his life and crawling towards the police as instructed. The officer was just acquitted. How was he acquitted? What in the actual heck?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Not saying this applies to anything going on, but as a young man I "played the field" and wouldn't commit to a woman because I just wanted to experience what was out there. This led to a lot of bitter young women who made up plenty of false claims to slander me. I think their motives were often "well this will get his attention and scare off other women at the same time". A scorned woman is a powerful weapon and I was smeared like crazy for loving and not committing. Not proud of my actions looking back but I had plenty of false info spread about me that I had to unfairly answer for. I'm sure many of you experienced the same thing. Not saying this applies to any of these famous cases, but that level of scorned & crazy is certainly out there in droves, men and women. Can't help but wonder. I'm proud of the women who were assaulted coming forward and i'm sorry for the men who are innocent. And we'll never know who is who since they are all guilty first. Human beings. Nothing wrong with playing the field as long as you come clean. I am inclined to believe the women until they give a reason not to. Women are typically silent about these issues because they don't want the attention or they just simply don't think anyone will believe them. Out of all the scumbags dropping like flies over the past few months, they were doing this a long time which goes to back to my previous point that they really don't think it will amount to anything if they say something.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) I just can’t see a legal mechanism for proving or disproving any of these things in a court of law. Pictures? Yearbooks? Signatures? Graphic notes/letters from the past that may or may not be forgeries? The thing that brought down Lauer was supposedly incontrovertible photographic/visual evidence that got him fired within 24 hours of disclosure. Same thing with Rep. Joe Barton’s photographic scandal, or Anthony Weiner, for that matter. As the first couple of Franken cases showed, there was bad optics but at least the possibility of explaining part of that away due to the comedic sketch element. That argument eventually disappeared when a pattern developed. With Moore, you have physical/sexual conduct, but not rape. Yet one wonders how many GOP Senators or Reps would allow their daughters to be left unchaperoned with that guy? How can you be a US Senator and uphold the Constitution when your morality is clearly being questioned by even your own party? Who at this point is anti-Moore? I thought most of the Republicans jumped on board after Trump said, YES TO MOORE!

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 03:33 PM) Guys, I'm starting to think this Roy Moore is bad. Do tell what gave it away.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) If only the Bulls had someone, maybe something like a head coach, that could tell them what to do Hoiberg should just resign. He sucks.

I sorta forgot about the Bulls. They are a joke since Thibs left.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 01:14 PM) Wat. Sexually assaulting 14 year olds is.... even a crime in Alabama. Yep just read that he was accused of sexual assault not just having a relationship.

If I understand correctly, Roy Moore is a creep not necessarily a criminal.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) Should anyone really be forced out due to allegations? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Shouldn't they be allowed to continue on until either they admit to it or proven guilty in court? Normal this is true. Most politicians have skeletons in their closet. That being said, the last thing we need is a a politician with a very suspect history of being a predator with more power.

Yeah Franken was douche in the end. Just resign and apologize.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) Bar fights should always end in gunfire IMO On a serious note, don't you carry?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) Bud, facts don't matter. You of all people should understand that. And it takes an awful lot to "trigger" me hahaha. (Also related to our earlier exchange, I think that's such a silly phrase) I don't know how you define triggered but if anyone brings up Bernie, his policies or his talking points, you pounce like a wild beast. That's your prerogative but it's becoming cliche.

Time to boost the US economy with a plethora of orders for Iron Dome weaponry. Trump is a genius!

Reddy you get triggered so easily man but you easily set yourself up with abrasive comments. Franken always rubbed me the wrong way, so the holier than thou quip probably wasn't the right choice of words. I just remember that hearing they had for Devos were he was talking around her in circles trying to make her look bad instead of just coming at her with the facts. That just came across smug and arrogant. Why would he have been an ideal candidate for 2020? Because he's a democrat?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 11:54 AM) He's going to resign, as he should, and as he should've at the beginning. Good riddance. The guy always had that holier than thou attitude and got taken down to the ground, hard. What a creep.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 11:09 AM) Well, time for Franken to go. Too much at this point to only be something weird with Roger Stone involved. He should been ousted weeks ago. Of course he'll stay and fight it most likely proving once again politicians are hypocrites.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) Sounds like things are about to go down. I have some theories, but going to wait until after the official announcement. It has to be a hoax. Trump cannot be this dunce... I feel like we hear this a lot and yet the man never ceases to amaze.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) Alright you two, break it up. Well technically, he was suppose to be ignoring me but he can't himself.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) I have no problem being called a "hater". I pretty much ignore the opinion of anyone who uses that phrase.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) Sure they would. Minority representation. As it should be. This is not cool. Rural areas need to be heard as well. They have different problems than urban folks and they are often hand-waved by urbanites. I don't have any solutions regarding that atm but it should be looked into to see how they can be better represented.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 11:11 AM) US to recognize Jerusalem as Israeli capital and relocate embassy. This is going to cause a s***storm in the ME. Turkey has already said it will cut off diplomatic ties. What a lunatic. Seriously, he's just doing things to stir things up and potentially putting the state workers at risk.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) Let me tell you about gerrymandering and voter suppression, my friend. Hell, Roy Moore was getting his supporters all riled up last week because Jones' campaign was REGISTERING FELONS!!....which was made legal after the Republican Governor in Alabama restored voting rights for some felons earlier this year. The President of the United States still maintains that millions of fraudulent votes were cast for his opponent last year. Let's face it, Alabama will always be a red and backward ass state. I am sure there are states that with people getting off their butts and going to vote could make the difference. That's the ones I am talking about.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) I felt when Trump was elected that Congress even the Republicans would be a nice check and balance. The partisanism of government has now ended the system of checks and balances and we get what we had in the tax bill where there really is little governing any longer. It is just taking what you want. I know I guess i was naive and a hopeless romantic. I understand it has been like this for a while but I felt there were some republicans that had a spine, I guess not. They will pay dearly for their mistake. Politicians before Trump was elected, were savvy and subtle in their ways to screw over people. They are trying to do it now too by saying bs like you will save 4k on your taxes which is false. With Trump, they are openly saying things like this tax plan benefits the rich, the estate tax repeal only benefits the rich, and if you didn't drink booze and buy hookers, you could be rich too. These politicians have never tasted what it means to be poor and they will absolutely get people out of their homes to vote in the upcoming elections. Generally, people are happy with some crumbs but when you take those crumbs away, they will become desperate.
