And the last two ex presidents. Duh. 

Did Obama's dad hand him a couple million dollars to get him started?  I must have missed that.

Didn't trump once say something along the lines of the president shouldn't be worried about the Washington Redskins name being changed as there were more important things to worry about in the world...

Prove it. He won't.

Next youre going to ask to see a certificate of birth for our last president, his college transcripts, the unsealing of the visitor log to the white house during his first six months in office and the unsealing of his hahvahd law review editor work....

We don't have to see any of those things.  All we have to see is a dude who was recently pimping his own crummy line of steaks and vodka.

The NFL is the most profitable form of socialism in the world.  Televison revenue sharing, government subsidized facility construction that the oligopoly profits from, all done under the myth of the greater good for all of us theory have turned me off to pro football.  Oh and the NFL knew about the concussion issue long before CTE was named and the league attempted  to cover it up.


I love the game and root for certain players  but absolutely despise what the league has done to it.  Cam Newton is great when he wins games and hands out footballs to kids but is an absolute weak example of a leader when he can't man up and face cameras after losing the super bowl and take responsibility.  NFL owners arrogantly feel entitled to state of the art scoreboards at the expense of public education as in cininnati, or they want to retain corporate suite lease revenue in order to remain competitive. 

Meanwhile spoiled brat millionaires, who exist under the blanket of the greatest, albeit not perfect, economic free market system in the world use their celebrity status to make a political statement have no idea what sacrifice, honor and integrity really mean.  

The NFL is no longer about the game but rather all about image preservation, political correctness and audience expansion for the sake preserving, enhancing and discovering revenue streams.  

I think you are criticizing facets of the NFL that are not actually the "socialist" parts, but under an umbrella of perceived "socialism".  I don't disagree about the socialism insofar as it's an organization that shares and "redistributes" revenue in a play to make the teams competitive. 

Anyway, contrast the NFL to baseball or basketball.  You still have the **** millionaires, yada yada.  But some teams dominate more because of market strength and/or wealth of ownership.

Read this, buddy.

Yes, it seems clear to the most casual observer at a moment's glance that Obama does not care about black people.

Not sure we need more laws but I would love to see people exercise their right to vote rather than lay on the floor and pitch a fit. 

I knew there just had to be something we would eventually agree on! 

It's a shame some states/localities make it so hard for many people to vote.

It's pretty easy to vote but does require minimal effort sometimes for sure. 

Compared to many other countries voting in the US  is not at all easy. 

Why is election day in the US on a normal workday? That alone puts up an obstacle for many folks.

Many states don't readily allow absentee voting or early voting.

Many localities have been shown to limit the number of polling places and/or voting stations which creates lines with unnecessarily long waits.

I knew our agreement wouldn't last very long.

It’s extremely easy to vote here compared to anywhere in the world. I agree there is prejudice in the system for those of us who work, but it’s manageable with advanced planning. Of course if you consider properly identifying eligible legal voters , it’s only a bit more difficult. 

That is just so untrue. Many countries make the whole process, starting with registration, much easier. Sweden for instance.

One of the main problems in the US is that voting rules/procedures are set up by 50 separate states and thus the rules/procedures can vary widely from state to state.

While in many states it seems their rules/practices are designed to be all inclusive but the opposite is true in many others.

Brother, I appreciate you, but that’s so untrue. When last did you ink your finger?  Sweden is your random example?  That’s a farce. State rule is what our founding fathers prescribed and envisioned. “Many countries “.  Educate yourself about all the countries and the ease and delightful experience they enjoy when voting. It’s generally rigged and fraught with violence. Not here. 

No doubt there are many countries where voting is difficult or a complete farce.

That's quite a bit different from your statement that "It’s extremely easy to vote here compared to anywhere in the world." That statement is demonstrably untrue. Period.

A citizen of the US is exactly that - a CITIZEN of the US. Their ability and right to vote should not be left to the whims of 50 different states. We know for a fact that many states have many decades of practice of going out of their way to prevent many of our fellow citizens (particularly African Americans) from voting.

The one thing I do absolutely love about Trump is that no matter what position he takes on just about any topic we will find a statement from him saying just the opposite.

Twitter Trump is the BEST Trump!!

Gerrymandering is certainly one issue that creates many follow on problems.

It's also one of the reasons that federal involvement is necessary. A few months ago the Supreme Court decided to take another case this term regarding partisan gerrymandering. Hard to say how that will be decided.
