POLITICAL THREAD

Why is Moore a terrible candidate? I don't know much about him but I'm damn glad they stuck it to the establishment pick.

Have you seen him or listened to him? I mean he's Gary Johnson and "what is Aleppo?" Bad. He didn't know what daca is the other day.

This may shock ol fuzzhead and rqarnold, but he's way way way too far right IMO. Makes the freedom caucus look liberal lol.

I've been pretty busy the past few days, but can someone explain to me the specifics of the criminal activity? Assuming no tax evasion, why would paying college kids to go to a school be a crime?


I'm glad the FBI has it's priorities straight though.

Ity has something to do with coaches taking money from Adidas to steer recruits toward handlers/advisors after they're drafted. Only the coaches who actually took money from Adidas got arrested. Those who just funneled the money from Adidas to the players just got dragged thru the NCAA mud, subsequent to the investigation.

Oh, and apparently, those NBA advisors and those at Adidas passing out the money were either the same people, or closely connected.

Wire fraud and bribery. Setting up fake invoices, etc.

Just heard John Feinstein on BobandTom talking about the basketball scandal.

I really, really hate that fathead pos.

+1

Feinstein is the ultimate detractor. A super-villain, if you will.

Looks like Hillary killed another. Paul Horner. #ClintonBodyCount. Be careful out there, folks.

Michelle Obama has a big ol' penis too

That's why I like him. Idk what they crap is either. All I know is America.

The problem is that there is a lot of violent crime in our country, and a minor segment of our population is commiting most of it.

And there are many other problems in this country that the POTUS should worry about yet he worries about a few NFL players taking a knee to protest what they see as injustice.

You seem to be implying that because there are "bigger" problems that we shouldn't be as concerned about those that might not be as big, or at least not perceived as big. Are you familiar with root cause analysis?

 

[Mashburned]

The fact you honestly believe Trump is worried about the NFL.

Someone run down the list of Trump accomplishments...

Oh, and that wall is literally being built, btw.

i'd imagine Donald just sits and bites his fingernails "worrying"

business 101 is don't take sides in politics or religion. Amazing that some people don't see that as important.

Guess where the US ranks in economic freedom?

Every country that ranks above the US offers their citizens universal health care.

U.S. second-quarter GDP growth revised up to 3.1 percent.

Root cause analysis? a term some over educated egghead came up with which means use your brain and common sense and reasoning and you're likely to figure out your problem.

Mash, perhaps you should have followed back the comment to which I was responding...

No, Trump isn't worried about the NFL but it's a good tool to play to his base.

Then we should ban immigrants for their own good. Thanks!

So, why aren't all you libtards migrating to those great places?

Oh the irony. Economic freedom is paying higher taxes under the guise of free Heath care.

You're the exact reason we have issues in this country.

No, it's to play to those outside of his base. Mfer's base is growing everyday because he's putting these elitist rich twats on blast and making the common blue collar type rethink things.

...and dems still have no message, no hope, no answer. They better try to find their voice or 2020 will be even more embarrassing for them.

And that's the dumbest shit I've read today.

Equating "universal healthcare" with "economic freedom".

According to the media, this Doug Jones fella running in Alabama sounds uhmazing. #rightonqueue

Sessions says free speech ‘under attack’ on college campuses.

Based on all the crap we've witnessed over the past 10 months, he's right.

Oh, hey Jeff. You may have missed the attack on the rule of law everywhere else in our democracy while political powers are given free passes for crimes they committed and your department runs witch hunts in an attempt to undermine our democracy, but by all means. Focus on college kids free speech and arresting AAU coaches you ****ing clown.

Didn't the Law professors at Georgetown Univ protest his speech and kneel?

 

[Bill Cosby]

Also, I rescind my defense of Jeff Sessions clamp down on marijuana that I was basing on the fact Congress needed to change the laws, not the DOJ.

He's clearly picking and choosing which laws to enforce based on personal preference like works in the Obama administration.

Don't ignore tons of illegal bullshit from the political class then tell me we need to get a handle on Marijuana because it's the law.

Douche.

I think about our political media when I watch Demling, Forde, Sullivan, et al doing post mortem journalizing at UL.

The Islamification of Europe will be one of the great tragedies of the 21st century. It will destabilize that continent.

 

[bcw1029]

No one in the media (no surprise) or in here talking about the Kurdish independence vote? The Kurds have earned their right to an independent state, the Iraqi CTS forces could not have taken Mosul without their help or Raqqa. Iraq and Iran suspending flights to Kurdistan until they return the oil fields to Baghdad and Turkey threatening to send troops across the border. If Erdogan tries to occupy Kurdish land, kick them out of NATO. Trump may want to threaten to move U.S. bases in Turkey to Kurdistan and put Erdogan on notice.


Edit: More information can be found on the Kurdish (English) news site.

That MFer is delusional. (The black guy with the $25k cufflinks, not TC.)

Tuesday was a bad day for McConnell. First Healthcare reform goes up in flames, his pick to win the Alabama Senate seat gets defeated and his beloved Louisville Cardinals are under FBI investigation.

 

[argubs2]

Jefferson Sessions can chortle my balls.

Trump had such a perfect opportunity to get rid of that shit stain zealot and he balked.

Fox News reports there are 4000 Lobbyist in Washington DC area. That's one heck of a swamp to drain.

The problem is that money will always drive the bus. It would take a fundamental shift in how the world operates to fix the issues in Washington.
