  1. I have no idea if the allegations are true or not. But Ballard did step down from OUR earlier this year after internal investigations within OUR were being conducted based off the accusations by multiple employees. This is before the VICE article came out, if I remember correctly. There's a cover story one needs to sell and then there's going too far, especially in private where you don't need to sell an image. Again, it might all be bullshit but there's a lot of charlatan behavior, especially in the state of Utah and within the LDS church. It wouldn't shock me if this was true. I guess we'll see what comes of it.
  2. I don’t think he ever said said but maybe I’m wrong. Trump is just an opportunist and plays the con game. He’s done it long enough and knows how to do it to perfection. In this particular case, politics and the Republican Party were ripe for his game.
  3. Very inappropriate. She went on a date with a Democrat? Pretty immoral.
  4. I’m kind of disappointed that this wasn’t a play on Schindler’s List instead of Beetlejuice. With all the making out and groping, it just seems like a better taste. Oh and replace the pregnant woman complaining with MTG, and it would have been perfection.
  5. No argument there from me. Whatever his true motives are though, genuine or not, he limited himself to just one term. I'll give him at least a "tip of the cap." That's about it from me.
  6. I actually had no problem with what the Dems did to Bernie. After all, he as an independent was using the DNC as a way to get to the White House. Their party, their rules. What I do have a problem with is Bernie had to go through the DNC if he was to have a legitimate shot at getting the nomination. He really had no choice but to use them. As of right now, there are only two roads to take. Sad.
  7. The problem is the ones that would make that law aren't going to give up their power by limiting themselves to it. If the American public wants term limits, they are going to have to rely on themselves to enforce them. Which means possibly voting for the other side of their own political spectrum. And because of that, I just don't see term limits in the near future. I could be wrong. Whatever one may think of Mitt Romney, he at least decided to call it quits after one term. His fellow colleague, Mike Lee, said he would only run for two terms in 2010. He just began the start of his third term earlier this year. And the ones that voted for him either conveniently forgot they wanted term limits for politicians or really don't care as long as their guy won.
  8. Biden should just stick to stories like his participation in the Battle of Lundy Lane during the War of 1812. That one is actually believable.
  9. I looked it up, apparently he visited nine days after the attack. Meh. Anyways, he should just retire. But our government has become a nursing home these days.
  10. Curt Schilling can be right in one area and wrong in others. That's life.
  11. We do have term limits. People just choose not to enforce them every election cycle because the right and left can’t stomach voting for someone that has the wrong letter next to their name. They’ll just vote for the person they complain about for the next two to six years.
  12. I could be wrong but I believe that was the Red Sox team cruise thread after their 2011 collapse. Damn I wish we had all the HOF threads from the old board.
  13. I’m sure Mike will be on the frontlines fighting like the brave soldier politician he is.
  14. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
  15. I don't disagree with some of the things you mentioned. I just don't want the U.S. dictating what Ukraine has to give up in order to get future aid because when you appease a person like Putin, he's never going to appeased. Plus I just don't want the U.S. involved with other countries telling them what they should or shouldn't do as far as giving up their lands. We have too much of a history of that, especially recent history. From what we have seen of Russia, even if they did take Ukraine, they showed their hand and I truly don't think they are a threat to the rest of Western Europe. Having said that, if we need to cut off Ukraine, there might be a few other countries that we have given billions to over the last several decades for their defense that might need to fend for themselves as well. Including one in the Middle East. They are much more capable at this point to do so than Ukraine. I think if we have a problem with what we give to Ukraine, we should be consistent with what we do for others as well.
  16. Just curious, what would Ukraine give up in negotiations in your opinion? Would it be land? Don't join NATO? NATO I get but I wouldn't tell them they have to concede more of their country than what was already taken back in 2014. I think it does get overlooked that this has been going on since 2014 with Crimea and then Donbas. Ukraine wasn't happy about it then and obviously not now.
  17. When he hit this homerun, it felt like we were going to finally vanquish the Red Sox.
