Amen to the above.

Is everyone cool with Sessions as the Attorney General, as well? So far, not only is the swamp not feeling drained at all, it's actually starting to look more like it did in the 1950's...
-
Rofl. Fair enough.
-
There are some who might challenge that assertion...:gabe: Grant, don't you have someone to stalk while filling their tank at a gas station or something?

Help me what? Ask yourself this question; Would a guy (who is a chach) offering membership into a club that is purported to be centered around Guns, Cars, and Cigars and who actively markets to Republicans seem like he might find some interest on this board, which is a board run by a guy (who is a chach) that purports itself to be about Cars (and guns and to a lesser extent cigars) that feature a heavy Republican base. If you answered "no", you haven't been paying attention.

The Fighting Tom Hermans are whuppin dat ass. Happy trails, Louisville.

I'm half amazed that this guy didn't catch on with CR membership...
-
Agreed. And I wouldn't be lying if I said that I felt nervous (a la Penn St) about this game. It would make Sparty's season to rise up and punk us.

You know what, don't answer that. Chances are I'm not going to read it anyway.

The level of ignorance in this post is...impressive. Question; by "we", you are of course referring to....?

So, is everyone cool with this? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-steve-bannon-really-as-bad-as-all-that/2016/11/15/3c74af12-ab81-11e6-8b45-f8e493f06fcd_story.html?utm_term=.5109baa5557b Tried to find an article on Fox News about it, so that I would be giving it as conservative a spin as possible, but there didn't seem to be one. Thoughts, my conservative homies?

Just a reminder that the Va. Tech team that sucked beat us in our own house. We overcame, but that did actually happen.

If you guys read my post as defending folks that are "rioting", then allow me to apologize for the miscommunication. Riots are not anything that I would condone. Peaceful protest is acceptable, and encouraged, by our form of government. How many do you think we're protesting downtown? 10 thousand? 20 thousand? How many people in columbus voted for Hilary? I'm seeing 335 thousand and change. So, less than 5% of the voters are protesting. If you want to apply your.logic and disgust to those 5%, I'll not tell you not to. I will say that tossing in the other 300 thousand of us is pretty unfair.

Some are, sure. In my conversations the fear that has been voiced the most is not that Trump himself will be attacking these rights, but that his election in the face of all of the things he said re: minorities signals a renewal or regeneration and tacit approval of the racism and bigotry that lie in Americas past. When groups like the KKK, who have been pretty much non-entities (at least publicly) for years are now holding "victory marches" in towns, it sends a rather disheartening message, don't you think? I posted this on my fb. It's not my quote, and I don't personally know the man who wrote it...but it seems relevant, and it pretty much describes my feelings on the situation perfectly. "If you're a Trump voter who is tired of being called a bigot, if you say you voted for him based on gun rights or economic issues, or because you think Hillary really was that awful, than in spite of his rhetoric, rather than because of it, I believe you. If you're in my life, I clearly don't think you're a vile hateful person. But if you're now watching protests across the country and you don't understand why, or think they are just being sore losers, let me break something down for you. These people aren't just angry or sad that someone they didn't support won the election, they're scared. They're black Americans who hear talk of law and order and remember a racially charged stop and frisk program, or see an emboldened KKK holding a celebratory parade. They're Muslim Americans who worry that spitting in their face is now okay and violations of their rights to assemble and their rights to privacy are about to come. They're LGBT Americans who fear not just of the loss of marriage rights or restaurants gaining the right not to serve them, but of an administration that thinks it's more important to research electrocuting the gay out of them than AIDS. They're Hispanic and Latino Americans who are scared their children will be bullied in schools, and their families ripped apart while their culture is mocked. They're women who are wondering if we've normalized groping, and if their career endeavors will be judged by their face and body, and not their minds I believe you when you say you didn't vote for any of these things. Most of America wasn't thrilled with the choices we had in this election. But If you didn't know that this is why they're protesting, if you think it's really just about free tuition or more government giveaways, then you, like the elite liberals you love to castigate, have also not been listening. If you're tired of being called a bigot, then you need to use the same voice you used on Tuesday and speak out against these things fully and clearly. It's not enough that you didn't say them yourself. You need to reassure your friends and family members who feel like they no longer have a seat at the table that you still stand with them, even if your priorities were different on Tuesday. If you aren't willing to do that, then you have no right to call for unity."

Agreed. Those who think that the left was going to take their guns away have no right to criticize those who fear Trumps election means that racism and bigotry are on the comeback trail in America.

My list goes like this; Bama OSU Louisville Clemson TTUN OU UW Wisky PSU
-
Badum-ching. We need TTUN to win. That is going to make things really dicey if they don't.
-
Clemson gonna Clemson.
-
Lord... Don't drink and drive, bro's.

On the last point, I really, really hope I am.

This has to be a troll attempt.

Lol. Alright dude, I'm hearing what you're saying. I will say that my opinion of DJT was in the oven cooking LONG before he joined the literally 26 other republican candidates at the beginning of this crazy election season. It isn't exactly like this dude has never been in the public eye before, bruh. I'll say this, if you were to remove the man from his politics, then I would say that I actually don't hate a lot of his politics...that being said, we werent voting for Americas Chief of Janitorial Services who works in a basement and never ever interacts with anyone except Milton and the rats, we voted for the Chief Executive, which is a "customer facing" position. Therefore, it is impossible to remove the man from his politics, as he will be actually representing us to other heads of state. Again, it's this, combined with who he had made himself out to be through his words and actions during the campaign and before, that give me so much pause, and literally terrify a lot of my friends.
-
I gotta step in here; Mill-dawg, a salesman is always on his best behavior when he is trying to close the deal. Once that shit is closed, you're a problem for customer service, not him. If you expect me to believe that Trump will suddenly turn into a decent human, you are cray cray. That right there is at the heart of the issue for most of the folks I know who are buried in salt right now. If you voted for Trump, you gave your tacit approval to be just like him....which is terrifying to a lot of folks who don't look like you. It isn't a hard perspective to understand, given all that the man has said and done. If, four years from now, Trump has turned into an effective, maybe even "good" president, then I will happily eat my crow with a side of "you told me so". However, I feel like that is about as likely as him not even making it the full four years.

This is depressing. A red Pres, a red House, and a red Senate. Quantum leap backwards. One positive that will come of this, the press is going to have more fun covering this chump than they have...ever. You thought W was bad? Just wait.
