The Cubs were here first.

Is it working or was that the calm before the storm?

Some eventful year: Many celebrity passings. Added to thatlist, singer George Michaels (1963-2016) of the 80’s pop group WHAM!

Yeah. Politics is theater, not sports.
pcolli about 8 years ago
Well you did mention it.
Darsan54 Premium Member about 8 years ago
“eventful”. Yeah that’s one way to describe it. And goddamnit, 2016 took George Michael too on its way out. Fkewe 2016.

Was kind of hoping for an end to the election rhetoric and vitriol. Looks that was a vain hope.
Yesterday was a great day with our family and we are looking forward to the next with great hope. Whatever happens in between, we will handle it and move on. That is our way, regardless of the circumstances. We pray the same for all of you.

Nobody who makes fun of the disabled at a public event deserves any chance of any kind. If he had the money to rebuild the infrastructure, provide health care and social security in perpetuity for everyone and was offering to do it in exchange for the office, I would still agitate for his being turned away in his own shame. Disgusting pig isn’t the half of it.

Never discuss sex, politics or religion in the office. Which is why, down here on tobacco row (NC), I do not discuss ACC basketball: it’s as good as sex, controversial as politics and people definitely believe in it.

At least someone’s facing up to reality without having a panic attack.

Mr. Obama has been the best, most grown-up president this country has seen, probably since Abraham Lincoln. Too grown-up and reasonable, perhaps, for the infantile power holders in other parts of this world.

Spells it grate. An obscene and invalid raw.

Reagan changed the banking laws to make the sub-prime fiasco possible. Shrub Jr than gave the banksters 100’s of billions and didn’t throw even one of them in jail. Shrub Jr also got you into a trillion dollar war

Happened before the election. Trump had nothing to do with it.
Mostly Water Premium Member about 8 years ago
Oooh the right wing zealots are all in a tizzy. You know when they start hurling personal insults at other commenters that they have no tolerance for anyone who dares to belittle their beloved leader Trump and his sidekick Putin.
Nantucket Premium Member about 8 years ago
Not surprising that a Trump supporter has nothing to offer except insults. Did you know that Trump’s goods (Donald and Ivanka) are made in China?

The only reason Trump didn’t offer Rush Limbaugh and David Duke cabinet positions is that they weren’t rich enough.

On the issue of conversation and speech, Andy Borowitz came up wit an accurate jibe; “The Obama years represent a period between George W Bush and Donald Trump when we had a President who could actually speak in complete sentences.”
While the “backup players” in the Trump regime are nearly, or as dispicable as he is, William Henry Harrison may represent the way to make America a little greater again, after a month or two of Trump. “Natural causes” are less violent, and more amenable than either the average riot after sports events, winners and losers both seem bent on destruction, or other acts of violence NOT APPROPRIATE in a Democratic Republic.

Which denomination is that, the “Mother Church” of Mammon?
wiatr about 8 years ago
Yep, the Cubs winning was just about the best thing from this passing year.

ekw555 about 8 years ago
funny, the losers always want a moratorium on “talk” and the winners just won’t shut up.
isn’t that always the way.

Your use of “snowflake” shows you to be a dittohead which I am sorry for you. It is used that way in a _racist _ way. It marks your territory.

Obama played less golf than GWB.
Which “tax money was wasted” by him?
Where did he lie “about everything”?
Night-Gaunt49[Bozo is Boffo] about 8 years ago
.
What do you mean? There is no reference for it here?
Night-Gaunt49[Bozo is Boffo] about 8 years ago
Governments are not companies and to run them like one is idiotic. A sure failure in the making.

Name calling can get anyone here out of here. Better delete it and be more civil. Name calling is for those who have nothing else left to say.
sandpiper about 8 years ago
Well, I tried to make a break in all the political hooblah, and failed.
Kind of like inventing a ‘one size fits all’ speedo: bound to be some disappointing results.

I do wish you’d consider changing your board name — those incoherent, hateful rants you keep indulging in are an embarrassment to those of us of English extraction.

Chinese junk? I know they are almost entirely made in China, but I didn’t know there was that much market for square-rigged, full batten sailing vessels that they have stores specializing in them. :-)

Lol. You liberal hypocrites still crying. Please don’t stop. I love it. Love how you attack either a poster or Trump. Then say it’s wrong of them to attack your side. Your temper tantrums are awesome. Especially Dogspit.
