I might PM you at some point to clarify a number of these points and discuss further. I do have material to present and I do think a discussion could be beneficial. I appreciate your openness.

Lol. These are direct personal insults that are not allowed (supposedly) on this forum, but I'm starting to detect that this place is corrupt and may not be worth trying to change. God bless you. I know you'll have something smart, condescending, or insulting to say regardless of what I say here (classic cyberbullying), but no one has ever accused me of being dim-witted or lacking intelligence. Quite the contrary. Typically, only weak people feel the need to belittle others.

In all seriousness, what is your deal? To be obtuse and act greater than? To rule an internet domain? I'd love to meet you in real life. And, no, I'm not an idiot for not knowing your history. I don't really care what your history is though if you're not willing to treat people with basic decency and respect.

Wow. I'm just going to stand for decency and not stoop to the level of cyberbullying that seems to be cool around here. Isn't it frowned upon to call people idiots and numbskulls, or are you exempt because you've been here a long time? For anyone who needs official clarification, I was referring to the popular vote, and obviously I know that the popular vote does not currently choose the president. The point is that the people have voted a certain way all but once over the past 30 years.

I was referring to the popular vote. I thought that was clear in the thread.

I'm sorry, but I won't engage in a discussion with someone who resorts to insults and name-calling. I'm not ignorant, I'm not a radical, and you are clearly very tweaked by all of this. You are definitely not someone whose opinion will be changing. Quickly on the polling regarding popular vote/electoral college though, come on -- what I said is true and has been supported by polling for decades. But, between you and me, I have a busy job. I work over 50 hours a week, and I don't have time for forums during work hours. I have a daughter to care for and friends and family. I don't have time to make a high priority of online arguments with locked-in idealogues. I'm already behind from wasting this time. You can have your little space here most of the time if it makes you feel better. Defend your dirt, dude. The country is changing whether you like it or not.

That Russia conspired to sway the election in Trump's favor is a documented fact. Anyone claiming otherwise at this point is probably too far gone to engage in a reasonable discussion.

If I'm a radical, then so are the majority of Americans. I literally don't have time to get into all of your points (and, no, that doesn't mean I am conceding them to you or wouldn't relish the discussion), but if weighting the vote of an Idaho farmer the same as that of a black single mother in the city is radical, then yes; I will proudly concede that I am a radical, as are the majority of my fellow Americans. All of these "But that's not how we were founded!" points that conservatives/libertarians/etc. often make are tired and are usually just a convenient way of protecting political power. The president should be elected by the vote of the people, period, and no American voice matters less or more than the next. There is too much unilateral power at stake.

There's actually one thing in there that might be worthy of a response. Are you saying that everyone's vote counting the same equates to mob rule? Curious how you would feel if the electoral college hadn't singlehandedly gotten Trump elected. I concede that Trump may win again in 2020; I didn't suggest that he would be a one-term president. But, if he does win, that will undoubtedly be the last Republican hurrah for the foreseeable future. The country has changed and is changing too much for a Republican to win after 2020. They might be able to squeak out one more in 2020, but the fear, disinformation, racism, "rights" talk, and conspiracy theories will not be enough moving forward.

Oh dear...

I think I'm a Democrat at the moment. I'd have to check my registration card. I've flipped between Democrat and Independent for the majority of my adult life. This was after I escaped an alt-right upbringing riddled with conspiracy theories, doomsday prep, FOX News, etc. My experience has been that it is pretty much impossible to change the thinking of baby boomer+ Republicans. I'm legitimately scared to see what actions they will take as the country slips out of their grasp in the coming decades, whether that is through long-overdue abolishment of the electoral college or simply through the demographics of this country becoming such that a Republican simply cannot win the college. Trump's presidency is probably the "last ride" for these folks. But their online tirades, bullying, and fake news propaganda will only grow stronger.

Oh, B-Man. You must be one of them.

It's cute how so many old Republicans are in denial about what's coming. Only once in the past 30 years have the people of the United States chosen a Republican president. Soon, not even the great wall that is the electoral college will be able to protect them anymore.

I'm not familiar with Johnson's physique. You have to figure he's trying to conceal something he's self-conscious about. Poor man.

Better caption would be: Crappy uni. Nice uni.

20, traveling from Western Maryland. Last year was my first as a season-ticket holder. 10 hours of driving on Sundays got to be a little much.

On the Tasker point -- another cringeworthy moment from Steve. He was clearly trying to refer to J. Johnson because he said "the safety," but that was stupid in itself because Cosell had already listed the players he observed and J. Johnson was not one of them. So, Cosell probably knew that Steve didn't mean to say Joseph, but he answered about him a second time to both appear courteous and avoid talking about a player (J. Johnson) he didn't watch. You hope that Tasker realized his mistake or that during the break it was brought to his attention by Murph or the producers, but you kind of get the feeling that probably didn't happen. Otherwise, how does he keep making embarrassing mistakes like this?

The coaching staff puts this together. It's just labeled as the communications team so the staff has a way to avoid questions about it at this point. People talking about Zay being in trouble is hilarious. It never ends. It's not gonna happen, folks.

Guaranteed

That's what she said.

#facepalm

Am I missing something? It seems like this "Honorary Captain" thing IS the "new episode."

That was so long ago. Would be scary!

This is hilarious. ?

I don't even know who he could be confusing Ducasse with, lol
