Kamala better hope this IS just a correction (it's not), because the jobs report was horrendous, and if the upcoming CPI is bad then we're probably heading into a recession, and a bad economy is the silver bullet incumbent killer.

Makes me wonder if this is a full blown crash if the Dems try to switch out Kamala. I mean I know it would be difficult for them to do it at the moment...but Democrats don't give a shit about rules. Anything to win we know they will do it.

The NBA or NFL would be no exception if they were genetically more capable.

So why don’t we have an all-Chinese league then? They work really hard and have lots of skills! It’d be more fair if they only had to compete against others of their genetic makeup. Right? 😉

 

[Bill Cosby]

We know what the preferred "historical" alternative is. The question is what was Mitch supposed to do when presented with the first two alternatives by the House. You dodged that by returning to an ideal that he doesn't/didn't have as a option. So my question still stands.

It’s a stupid question. It ignores reality, and specifically what McConnell did to screw Republican voters and America at the end of 2022, among other things.

Hey? Doon

First, that probably says more about you and the intellectual circles you travel in more than it does about the sexes at large.

Second, that’s part of the point, right? Sports are a leisure version of the skills we used to survive. Running long distances, throwing things with accuracy, yadda yadda. Now we need new skills in the technological world we find ourselves in, those of brain rather than brawn. So our society should be reflecting that instead of being tied to the old paradigm

Hey, Dion. Stfu.

Im just going to start using liberal google search top of page to refute every damn stupid thing you pontificate about for pages and days.

I'm sure it's because of historical nuance and discrimination, right?

Turns out dion is ACTUALLY a woman.

Only a simpleton believes the slogan diversity is strength. It NEVER made sense. Diversity of opinion is called a disagreement. What makes you stronger? Agreement or disagreement. Look at the Balkans. Rome. Every example yields the result...strength comes from a melting pot.

Wrong. So very wrong. Diversity of opinion is what led to the formation of the United States of America.
You think our Founding Fathers agreed on everything? If you do then your ignorance knows no bounds.
Diversity of thought yields better ideas and inventions. Disagreements are the seeds for better societies. Debate and argument provoke anger.... But also new thoughts, ideas and creativity.
The best rock bands had the most internal fights. Ask Van Halen, the Beetles, and the Stones about that.
No good marriage wasn't built on disagreement and compromise.
No great business is built on groupthink.
Diversity of foods, clothes, music, thought, race, and religion is the spark for the flame of Democracy we are.
Look no further than China, Russia, Iran and North Korea to see the dead end economies that result from zero diversity and groupthink. 90 percent of China's economic success is tied to stealing our ideas, copying our formula and selling their junk to our thriving economy.
Diversity is the main reason for why we are a great nation...period.

We can’t let this depressing day end without acknowledging this truth. The assholes that voted for all of Biden’s spending in 2021 are every bit as responsible as the goons who stole the election.

Two of the three stimulus bills were passed by Trump. 😂
But Biden.....

Well they should’ve been to working with him towards a ceasefire instead of letting Ukrainian people get slaughtered and us getting the tab for hundreds of billions of dollars.

The $24B the U.S. has spent on security assistance to Ukraine amounts to less than three percent of last year's defense budget.
Money well spent to degrade Russia's military.
You fools just don't get the big picture.

Yeah. Another activity invented by men, for men. That any women excel at all just shows how capable they are, even at a man's game. If they had their preferred competitions available who knows if we'd even be able to place.

It's a hobby. Not a central part of their scholastic careers with scholarships at stake. To argue we have similar emphasis on them as societies is silly.

But you want women to compete with men for those scholarships across the board.

Dumb as dirt.

Contradicts himself daily.

 

[Marleydogg]

Joke if you want but they live the same middle-class life Americans do. And they accomplished it on a much shorter timescale. There's plenty to dislike about China, but their economic rise over the last few decades is real. Y'all acknowledge that when looking at them as an adversary, but not in terms of quality of life.

Are the nets real, Karl? Maybe that explains the quick economic rise.

Dumb as dirt.

*edit to add.: don't care if the nets are real, the Chinese do what the government says.

Saw something saying the reports of them being dead is wrong. Hopefully that's the case. But even if injured it's still bad enough that our country is such a joke worldwide that terrorists aren't afraid to hit Americans.

I don't think those scholarships should exist period. Education opportunities should not be predicated on athletic ability.

Well based on the movie 'old school' and male stripper Bachelorette parties, most guys wouldn't want to.

We're already in a recession. We just don't "know" it yet because the bar/definition is now set so low. By the time the media let's anyone know it will be way past that and by design.

 

[HymanKaplan]

The revenue raised by those athletic programs pays for a crap load of academic schollies and facility improvements.

That's called capitalism at work genius.

So why don’t we have an all-Chinese league then? They work really hard and have lots of skills! It’d be more fair if they only had to compete against others of their genetic makeup. Right? 😉

On the amateur level in China, I’d assume it nearly is. Also separated between men and women.

Professional leagues like the CBA, all bets are off. That’s about making money and putting forth a product that attempts to look similar to the NBA way more so than being fair to the Chinese players. Its a business.

And due to Chinese players growing up playing out of position from being on average smaller, it’s typically underdeveloped at the 3,4, and 5 so they’ll pay people like Demarcus Cousins 6.5m to come over and play for a just a month along with the name recognition he can bring to their leagues.

Only a tiny percentage of college athletic departments are in the black. Most of them are money pits; they don't pay for crap.

Did you not get my point? We don't have an only-Chinese NBA. Even though they enjoy it, work hard, have plenty of skills. If they're good enough, they play in the NBA. If their genetic makeup doesn't allow that, it is what it is. Same for women. Same for the CBA.

From the Denver court decision: "Here, the refusal to provide the bakery item is inextricably intertwined with the refusal to recognize Ms. Scardina as a woman. The concept that a business can decide whether to make the requested item depending on what information the customer provides would establish the equivalent of a 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell' rule — LGBT individuals would be entitled to equal service only to the extent they do not request goods that reflect their identity as LGBT individuals."

Expected. Y’all can never complain about BLM again. You support rioters as long as they’re your preferred race. Biggest hypocrites in existence.

Are they looting Target and Apple stores, Karl?

Are they angry because a thug got shot resisting arrest, or is it because foreigner invaders are killing and raping their children?

Do they have their politicians whipping them into a frenzy because it’s an election year and refusing to confront them?

This mentality of yours, seizing upon things that seem the same at surface level but are vastly different….it’s quite something.

And I suppose you are ignorant as to how and why they have arisen. Without the US leftist Dems running manufacturing out of the US with overregulation, they would not have been able to become an economic force.

 

[Mike-McD]

FIrst- It does because there is no woman on this planet that could participate because there isn't one good enough.

Second, like what? sewing? Knitting? what "broader spectrum" women compete against men in things like Archery, shooting sports, auto racing, there are female jockey's, that's all fine and dandy, when it's basically managing a machine or animal doing the bulk of the physical work.

Third, Title IX was meant to give women more opportunities. and a place for those women to compete. nobody is forcing them to play those sports. they do it because of their love for the game. The face they don't draw like men isn't a product of Title IX. but it doesn't diminish their efforts either.

You're wasting your time talking to him. He clearly hates women, is a misogynist and an incel.
