DCKings...this is for you bud...

ok so what kind of basketball do you guys like and i'm calling out doclinkin on this as well as i see he gave you an and 1.

LOL because of your amusingly doofus theory that liberals love iso ball and conservatives love team ball. Its often funny watching you play orangutan Jackson Pollack just throwing shzt up on a wall to see what will stick, then calling it art. TAADAHHH!

I snorted out loud at work aloud reading that. Which is 100% why I championed your resurrection on here. You bring content, even while being so much a troll that you get in the way of your occasional nugget of truly held belief. I could be wrong but it reads that more than anything you just want to piss people off to get attention, or really to rile them up and ruin the comfort zone of the stuffy and stubborn. My feeling: 100% chance you'd be arguing the other side if you were surrounded by prim and disapproving conservatives. And would irritate them equally well. Its a specialized skill. Necessary. Mix things up, keep the ball in play. LOL you're the Dennis Rodman of message boards. Hall of Fame, fruit loop hair and all. Or Giant Thighs, Surgeon, Ships Diver, Luvabull lothario, whatever color you want to spray on your head on any given day. Just grinning about it. And1 to that muthafffffffrrrr

LOL. What can we do? its a message board. we've only got one life to live. If i had other talents to entertain i would use them. we all use what we got. For my part, If i aim to stimulate any kind of thought along the way or the occasional laugh or even frustration to pique interest...so be it...thats better than stimulating no thought at all?

If I'm being honest, I truly want people to think. About things bigger than politics. But it kinda starts here (unfortunately?) as most politicalal boards/social media in general are bogged into a focus on the micro event of the day. Choose a side early, defend it ad nauseum and forever. I get it. We all truly feel like we want to belong in a certain box or we have a natural tendency to put ourselves in any given box to define our identity. I totally get it. Completely. Human/animal nature. But i truly am trying to move the political discussion into a broader sense of where we are at as a whole. Why we are here. What specific decisions/ideologies brought us here and more importantly why? And i think we have to go back a few hundred years minimally to put it all in perspective. Only then can we truly discover/uncover what to do next. I'd like to go layers and levels deeper than the standard version of history most of us accept as baseline "truth." i want to learn from others here and i think this group has a lot to offer me in terms of analysis...It would be wonderful if more posters get involved and stay involved. And each of them to accord themselves with who each of us are or rather the positions we have taken thus far.

In the grand scheme, it took over 100,000 for humans to finally have the tools to communicate globally. Language and the internet. Wow! But to first have meaningful dialogue globally we need to figure out where we are at tribally/locally. And whether we want to accept it or believe it, Americans are in this together for the foreseeable future. We are stuck with each other for better or worse. It makes sense that, in what will later be described as the archaic days of the internet, humans are mostly saying hi at first and then quickly arguing, feeling each other out, defining their space. But at some point the barriers will come down. the guards will have to drop and we will begin to listen to what what matters to each other and why...but the biggest part of having that understanding that is educating each other on some sort of history as to what brought us to this point. I think its important to figure out where we truly stand. and why and by what means. What forces/ideologies brought us here?

Believe it or not within the daily bickering of the politics du jour both sides are covering ground however slightly. They wont admit it but the liberals in this thread have all come to understand that (perhaps) it is very likely that some sort of dirty politics was being played by their side...the kind that is suppose to be unacceptable in free and fair elections. And conservatives have come to understand that perhaps our side stepped in some doodoo along the way. and keeps unnecessarily stepping in more of it. Political outsiders are both clumsy and made to look even clumsier and sometimes even by design.

As for bball, i didn't say that conservatives love team ball. what i said was that libs out number conserv's at least 5-1 and most posters on this site love either Lebron or Durant as their favorite player in most polls. so yes by default i did infer that it is likely that liberals prefer iso ball style of basketball. Or simply stated a singular hero. There is enough in classic and modern lit to support this theory and how one views sports and bball is likely an extension of the societal values that rule the day. That statement doesn't preclude conservatives from also preferring the exact same style or the singular hero. But it would be an interesting discussion to have. to tie those (basketball team building) values into our own belief systems for society at large.

Using this metaphor makes it an easy leap for bball nerds like us to take. basketball team= tribe. What kind of tribe do you truly want to be a part of? I would argue that perhaps those that prefer a basketball team with a singular hero(baller) also look for strong leaders in society to guide them (for better or worse).<-- A lot of this stuff is likely genetically pre wired for survival of any given species along the way. So I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with hierarchies and chains of command. I'm just saying that we all need to be honest with what we truly want and envision. Either way. Decisions will be made. for better or worse.

One of the more cogent readable and thoughtful responses you have given in this thread. Respect.

Might not be as much fun as flinging poo, but if you wrote like this more often, your own opinions and truly held beliefs, instead of bomb throwing from other sites. AND with doubts and questions and willingness to learn.

AND if you wrote less often in general, shorter and fewer posts,

THEN you might have fewer people putting you on ignore, and we might have more actual dialogue.

But I'll admit that's probably far less fun than throwin the poo and seeing who shouts about it

Republicans have to cheat to win, the Georgia Gov race is polling within the margin of error so what is GA going to do, close most of the Democrat polling locations, what disgusting pieces of sh_it!!
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/governor/ga/georgia_governor_kemp_vs_abrams-6628.html

And you have the Candace Owens of the world telling black people that the Democratic party is the real racist party. What a joke.

Candace Owens and the rest of the coon patrol are the lowest pieces of trash. You'll never see her even attempt to address voter suppression.

Lol, he's basically saying he doesn't think he's able to tell the truth. And he actually believes that's a valid reason to not talk to Muller. This is absurd beyond words.

Trump's the same clown that previously told people he didn't like that they shouldn't mind talking to the FBI unless they had something to hide. What's good for the goose is good for the fat orange liar.

I Just Hacked a State Election. I’m 17. And I’m Not Even a Very Good Hacker.

It took me around 10 minutes to crash the upcoming midterm elections. Once I accessed the shockingly simple and vulnerable set of tables that make up the state election board’s database, I was able to shut down the website that would tally the votes, bringing the election to a screeching halt. The data were lost completely. And just like that, tens of thousands of votes vanished into thin air, throwing an entire election, and potentially control of the House or Senate—not to mention our already shaky confidence in the democratic process itself—into even more confusion, doubt, and finger-pointing.

The fact that someone as untrained as myself could bring an election to a screeching halt with nothing but a quick Google search should be a wake-up call. While inflating Gary Johnson’s vote tally to over 90 billion is good for a laugh, a more malicious agent—not to mention a team of well-funded and highly skilled hackers—could do real damage. A close congressional race could be flipped by the addition of a few hundred extra votes, the installation of malware, stolen security credentials, or the shutdown of a website during the final tally, like my DEF CON escapade last week. The possibility, or even the likelihood, of such an event is precisely why the chief security officer of the Democratic National Committee, Bob Lord, interviewed me and my fellow competition participants to see what kind of defense those without experience could potentially develop.

I keep coming back to this: HRC testified on live tv (under oath) for 11 hours while this dude wont sit down for a few hours with investigators.

Whats the difference?

"It is incredible how similar this is to the media's performance on Iraq. 1. Rely on charlatans and get everything wrong. 2. Justify your performance by pointing out that everyone else also relied on charlatans.”

“”As if it’s even possible to hack America’s elections.”

I guess it didn’t matter to Comey, clapper, brennen, and Obama himself when they knew victory was certain.

“I suggest mr trump go make his case to the American people “

And that is what he did. Got on his plane and hopped airport to airport in front of tens of thousands and made his case.

The American people got it right and the deep state is doing everything it can to reverse the election. Meanwhile economy is cruising along, record high jobs, record low ue. 51% of American people approve wall and near 50% approval ratings despite 92% media coverage.
