    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.....

    And the FBI is now looking into why the case was dropped. 

    And once Michelle Obama's office gets involved again, the FBI will drop it as well.

    Kind of off topic, and maybe every network is guilty of this, but ever notice on CNN EVERYTHING is breaking news. I swear you could turn on CNN at any point of the day and there's a 75% chance something is breaking news. Hell I turned it on just now and the headline is "BREAKING NEWS: State attorney to speak out against Smollett case" 

    This is not unique to CNN......all of the news outlets lead with 'Breaking News'.  Even the local Columbus NBC, CBS and ABC affiliates.

    As S&L stated, it is to get people to watch.  Soon, it will be the boy who cried wolf (Blitzer).

    I have no idea I haven’t read it. Don’t know much about it. Just pointing out the tons of hearings about Hillary’s emails that wasted tax money that QO was cool with, then the mueller investigation according to him was a waste of time and money, but now he on board with a reverse mueller investigation 

    Not really what you implied in your post above.......

    Which is it?

    To summarize you are fine with waste of taxpayer witch-hunts when it is the GOP doing the hunting 

    So it must be your opinion that the Mueller investigation was a witch-hunt?

    "Trump allies are now awaiting the results of two long-running internal probes that could expose the backstory behind the Russia probe's beginnings -- and provide more detail on already-documented misconduct among top FBI and DOJ officials.

    DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz confirmed at a panel discussion last week that his office is continuing to review potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, a review that began last March and that Fox News is told is nearing completion. Horowitz has previously found that senior FBI officials routinely leaked informationwithout authorization to the media, and also received "improper gifts" from reporters, including meals and sporting event tickets. Most notably, Horowitz found that FBI officials' anti-Trump communications raised doubts as to the integrity of their work.

    Republicans, meanwhile, are increasingly looking for answers from U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber, who was appointed a year ago by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review not only surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, but also authorities' handling of the probe into the Clinton Foundation. Huber, Republicans have cautioned, has apparently made little progress, and spoken to few key witnesses and whistleblowers.

    But in January, then-Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker reportedly indicated at a private meeting that Huber's work was continuing apace.

    Among the primary looming questions that the IG has said he will address, and that Huber is expected to review: Did the FBI follow all applicable "legal requirements" when FBI lawyer Lisa Page and then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil Trump aide Carter Page -- weeks before the 2016 presidential election -- by relying heavily on a dossier created by a firm working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)?"

     

     

     

    Still need a special prosecutor to put it all together and make the indictments.

     

    While I agree that it should happen....I have doubts that it will happen.

    and the impending investigations of those actually responsible for the coup attempt.

    Will never happen......

  • Frankly, I think all of the 'major' news outlets are spewing 'fake' news.......

    I define 'fake' news as that is slanted by a political or personal lean, rather than 'real' news which is simply stating the facts of what has happened.

    Fox, CNN, PMSNBC, etc etc etc all practice this....it's just which lean you have that determines what you listen to.

    The point is you can chase this forever if you want and never arrive at a reasonable solution.  People who live in the US today have great opportunity - more than most anywhere else in the world.  It doesn't matter what race or creed.  Instead of forever living in the past, let's live in today where no one was enslaved by anyone else, where no one alive was a slave owner, etc.

    This, +1000
