    Not if Jay Z or Lebron have anything to say about it!

    That's the problem with some of you folks in here. You're stuck in your silos. Kinda sad, actually.

    Yeah. But not you. Not Maris. Not JonnnyBoy. You guys are open minded and willing to take in all points of view.

    I simply said Kimosabe...taken from a tv show I watched as a child. Suddenly, I'm a racist, supported by a handful of likes.

    unfortunately it isn't the 1950's any longer. very likely was offensive even then to the same demographic. gotta roll with the changes. if not you might be offending others. ignore this at your own peril.

    It's kind of like still using the words gay and retarded NOW, because you grew up using them and not learning and becoming a better person.

    Ps. I will edit this if anyone doesn't like those words written out. It felt gross typing them honestly, but when I typed "G" word and "R" word, it just didn't seem to work.

    Didn't come off as smug to me... Just data. It was a great post.

    Honestly, I'm not sure why you were so defensive about it?

    It's not suddenly. Your posts have showed your true colors for a while now. Disgraceful to be honest, and makes me wonder why you're on a forum supporting a sport that is predominantly black.

    I’m talking about overall. Every day, every thread, if you want to call us close minded that’s fine with me. But the hypocrisy is so on brand I kinda love it. Like any of you are any different.

    Glad you got things all worked out in that regard. Sorry to disappoint.

    Anyways, back on topic.

    The kind of shit he's pulling is legitimately scary to our democracy.

    If a third rate dictator from another country said this 2 days before an election when nearly a 100 million people already voted, GOP members of Congress would be first on the list to spread democracy and police other countries' elections.



    And given his sycophants and sympathizers penchant for following this asshole blindly, I worry for what will happen this week.

    As i predicted in this thread a few weeks ago, neither he nor his supporters are going quietly.

    4 years without Americans coming home in body bags.

    4 years without terrorist attacks in America.

    Multiple Peace Treaties negotiated throughout the Middle East and the Baltic States.

    Ending the Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden endless wars.

    Just 4 HUGE ways POTUS Trump has conducted himself like The President Of The United States.

    That alone makes him The Most Presidential President since Ike. :cheers:

    Guess you haven't been following the mass exodus of people moving out of CA, almost entirely because of Democratic Party's insane taxation and dictation.

    They're definitely voting for Trump again, just voting in their new home states.
