I think you should boycott ESPN. That'll learn 'em.
Boycott ???? I watch what I want. If something is on ESPN that I like I watch it. I will say that I don't like ******** and I don't watch them.

Let me try to help out many of my friends on the board......2 + 2 = 4. Think about it.

I just did.....you missed it.
Oh, I guess your 2+2=4 enigmatic post?

Indicating that you are not a mere sheep blinded by party loyalty, and that Trump is your Shepard leading you beyond the 1984 political atmosphere of the present and into the boundless political pastures of true American freedom?

Or maybe you are cryptically addressing an economic plan that runs is stark contrast to Stalin's communist regime? A call to the practical and sensible economic approach that seeks unfettered movement of the market, which will usher in an economic liberty that gives birth to the unrestrained bootstrap American family?

Or maybe you are just a douche?

Either way, I see a nation hell bent on blame. No matter what our conditions are, we must ALWAYS find the culprit before we find the solution. Forget intentions, forget integrity, dismiss the future in favor of vengeance. No, not justice, not even accountability.....we accept that these aren't truths daily. We just want someone to PAY for our hurt.

Trump embodies that sentiment, with his vile language and aggressive posturing. He calls to many as the man with the power to punch our ex girlfriends in the face. To set the nation right.....not by policy, or leadership really, but by that soothing, ever so sweet, vengeance!

Maybe not.

But if Trump told you 2+2=5, I'd bet you believe it......as long as he keeps on hating the same things you hate.

Looks like you found your "culprit". And 2+2 does not = 5.......BUT.....304 electoral votes = POTUS

And that post was as telling as anything. Still thriving on that win, you and him are, you won by beating her.....now what? Neither of you know, do you? Oh wait, win again, right? All of life is a Monday night football game isn't it?

Let the guy serve his term.......his success or failure will be determined in 2020. Also...I haven't watched MNF in years. I'm also not thriving on anything......only asking for fairness.

Schilling was warned, and he apologized. He was warned a 2nd time, and then a 3rd time........then fired. You all left out a bunch of information. Jemele Hill was issued her warning.......now if it happens again, we'll see.

Sorry then. When people talk to idiots, I just assume it's me.

But tell me, are you defending Schilling? Because why? He doesn't make much sense.

I'm not defending him in the slightest. But there should be a compare and contrast event including him.

Then do a legitimate compare and contrast. Your just comparing liberal assertions and results to conservative assertions and results. One is founded in discrimination, the other in non traditional acceptance.

Or comparing anger and hostility towards one person versus anger and hostility towards a group is not accurate either. Calling them the same because they're political views doesn't make an accurate evaluation

What about what she has posted previously?

That's his opinion. No one says you have to agree. You think Trump is the devil incarnate....I don't agree.
I don't. I think he is an egomaniac that knows nothing about working class people/life that is obsessed with being "the best". I also think his integrity is questionable, and he doesn't stand for anything --- other than the fact that he is better than most everyone. Not exactly President material, imo. How far off am I?

Not off at all....But..... I'll await your critique of several of our former Presidents. All that I can remember have warts.

So, other than the oration skills, he's no different than Obama?
