    I tend to think it shouldn't be allowed.  But there are so many ways around campaign donation laws, from the $250k per plate dinner to the Super PACs...

    But mostly I think the laws are what they are because that is how the Dems and Repubs keep most of their party in line.  Because the normal procedure would be for the party to throw $3M at your challenger to primary you.

    Except money wouldn't really matter if most voters weren't lazy and uninformed.

    And we all know that those in power in the WH, House, Senate, etc are all about staying there...not doing what is in the best interests of the citizens of the United States of America.

  • Why take a low paying, menial, manual labor job when you can make a better living on welfare...which is now a lifestyle rather than a temporary measure.

    Welfare reform will help this out....

  • I don't think the time and money commitment to travel ball, be it soccer, baseball, basketball, etc is as much a reason as being made here.  Sure, it does take time and money, but it isn't a deal breaker in most cases.

    IMO, the real culprit is that kids stay in the house more and don't congregate in the summer at the baseball fields, basketball courts and just play!  Be it due to kids being at a daycare as both parents (if there are 2 in the home) are working, not allowing the kids to run their neighborhood or just staying in the house playing video games.  I truly think this is why participation in sports is down.

    Sports are accessible to play....all of the schools that I know of have baseball fields, basketball courts and greenspace that kids can congregate on.  No need to have sponsors, schedules or team booster clubs..just kids who want to play.

    Stopping appointing SJW's to the bench.

    From the looks of things so far, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh appear to rule based on the law and not political agendas.  I always laugh when people say the court has a conservative majority when Roberts has for years voted with the liberals on most social issues.

    Please tell me WTF ANY of the SCOTUS justices have ANY 'leanings' either conservative or liberal?!?!

    They were appointed to uphold the Constitution of The United States.......

    Also, I know the men's team is pretty trash right now (hopefully the right the ship soon smh), but they would be able to name their score against the USWMNT.  The USWMNT knows it too.  

    The fact that the USMNT could beat the USWNT is irrelevant.

    What would be relevant to this discussion is to see the profit generated by the USMNT (tickets, merch, expenses, etc.) versus that generated by the USWNT....THAT would determine if the USWNT should be paid the same...or more or less than the USMNT.

    Sam process as in the real world....

    He'd be a lot higher if he didn't constantly act like a 3rd grade on Twitter.

    And that is with non-stop bashing from the MSM, 24/7/365.  He’d be at 70% if not for the media carrying the water of the democrat party.  Sickening.

     

     

     

    You are both right.....

    I just want to see the raid on the Clintons and them being walked out in handcuffs......that will be good TV

    Don't hold your breath....they are the 'Royal Family' of the United States and nothing sticks to them.

    I’m not disagreeing with otrap and some of what u say.  just pointing out the irony of wanting more children in the world but not wanting to fund programs to help them. Even more irony to base that belief on a religion that also mandates you help those same children. The whole govt forcing you to do it is a completely separate argument.

    There is a very easy and inexpensive way to solve this issue......keep it in your pants and don't procreate! 

    Don't forget that part of this problem here is that social programs pay by the kid....the more kids you have the more welfare you get.  Revamp some of these programs and....viola!...there is more money to go around if we aren't expanding the base with more children.

    Before you go off.....I am a proponent of welfare for those that need it.  However, it should be a temporary helping hand and not be a lifestyle.

    Meanwhile Fox News spends 5 hours a day covering AOC. 

    So, while Notre Dame was burning, I was at the gym.  Fox News was covering that epic event, while CNN paraded a series of Trump bashers...one after the other......offering that they all believe that Trump was guilty.  90 minutes of this.

    Stark contrast, even though I don't think either is a 'news network'.  Both offer opinion as fact and therefore, IMHO, disqualify themselves as news networks.  CNN is just worse because they never try to hide their agenda.

    Yeah, he tried a little too hard to pander to the left, which pissed off a lot of people or rubbed them the wrong way.  I like Kasich, but some of the shit he recently has advocated for makes me skeptical.  He wouldn't be saying some of the shit he is saying if Trump was not in the WH imo.

    Not to mention that Kasich is a self absorbed douchebag......

  • Favorite golfers:
    Freddie Couples
    Rickie Fowler
    Kooch (in honor of my brother)

    Least favorite golfers:
    Tiger
    Patrick Reed

    That's about it as far as least favorite.....

    BTW, I do admire Tiger for this domination over the years and his tenacity to get back to winning a major.  Never thought he would win one again.  I just think he is a pretty crappy human being. 

    That said, I simply do not understand golf 'fans' who only care when Tiger is involved.  I like golf for the sport, not because someone is having a good tournament.  That would be like not watching football anymore because someone like Payton Manning is no longer playing.

    There's a reason AOC and the other crackpots are starting to say they'll just print money to pay for everything.

    Didn't we do that from 2009 - 2017??

    I felt like most people liked bush but it could be recency affect since he seems more popular now. 

    How quickly we forget.....George Bush was one of the most vilified Presidents in history....especially after 9/11 and its aftermath happened.  That and how he was deemed to be a racist simply because he followed protocol after Katrina and did not rush in the Federal government, but rather let it up to the Gov of Louisiana to ask for help before providing it.

    I do understand not all white people hated Obama simply because he was black but there certainly is a double standard to what is acceptable now than 4 years ago 

    Sure, there were some who hated BHO simply because he was black......however, I think that the majority felt like he was a lousy President who was elected because he could give a good speech.  My hope in 2008 was that Herman Cain would be the Republican nominee.  Then, all people would have to vote on the basis of their qualifications, rather then on he color of their skin.  I did not vote for BHO in 2008 and expressly hoped that he would give me a reason to vote for him in 2012.  Sadly, he did not.

    I understand that the only thing that could be an issue is hurt feelz, and I am completely over giving a fuck about that. Not only is it a disservice to the too easily offended, it is a disservice to society as a whole allowing the terminally sensitive to control the conversation.

    Gotta agree with Ptown here......

    While it may not be an issue to you, it was to them...and they handled it in a very adult and mature fashion.

    Too bad Washington, and our society won't take a less on from these folks.....
