  1. I think in years past the right and left have been very good at appointing justices from the Supreme Court down to lower-level courts that have the same philosophies as them (Pro Life, Pro Choice, tough on crime, etc...). What Trump seems to have from judges is straight loyalty to him. I can't imagine when Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor that she was like, "hey, if this Iran contra deal gets you in trouble, don't worry. I will make sure you are safe". It shows the true flaw in our justice system and of course it took 200 years for us to get someone like Trump who really knew how to take advantage of it.
  2. Why stop with just this. I would be happy if she said everything possible that could embarrass him. Stuff like, "he only lasted 20 seconds", "I can't believe how fat his belly and man boobs are", or "he asked me to pee on him, but I refused because that is disgusting".
  3. You just pointed out over half of the citizens in this country. Let's hope they all don't vote for Trump or at least the ones in the 3 states that matter for the election.
  4. So is this the thread where I tell you all the earth is really flat and you are all fucking morons for not believing that? Also, it may be time to just change the title of every thread on this board to “Trump is a piece of shit”. At some point, every thread proves that title correct no matter what the topic actually is. It’s just the way things are now.
  5. Thanks for the advice. The golf forever program is a lot of stretching and stuff to help your back. Did the first day yesterday and it definitely will help my back if I stick to it. Each day is two short sessions. One that is stretching and core strength and then you have a session with the swing trainer which strengthens key muscles and movements for the golf swing. The sessions are designed to be done in a specifics order that builds off of one another. I got fitted for all my sticks by the same guy that does Scheffler, Spieth, Fowler, Palmer, etc… here in DFW. Good fitters and not that expensive but they know their shit. I’m in a Calllaway Rogue for my driver which I hit better than the Taylor Mades or Pings. Once I get my movement back I am pretty sure I will gain some distance back also.
  6. Tired of back issues, not being able to play consecutive days and slowly losing distance the last 10 years so I started the Golf Forever program today. Hopefully in the next 2 months all of the above improve. I golf with a guy every week that swears by it and Scheffler wouldn’t lie to me about the program since he endorses it!
  7. I get what you are saying but I don’t think that is the dynamic. I am pretty sure they think I am a Trumper also. I refuse to talk about politics or religion with anybody. When I say these guys are Trumpers I mean they are showing me pictures from New Years Eve at Mar o lago with Trumps family. What’s frustrating is I’ve known these guys and many others for years and they are really good people and have helped me many times over the years and I do consider them friends but their views with Trump and Biden are warped.
  8. Long and frustrating post incoming. I am starting to really question how broken the minds of the citizens of America really are. The link below is an article about CNN's recent polling. Yeah, yeah, I know polling doesn't mean shit anymore and saying Trump has a lead over Biden doesn't really matter unless you are looking at the 5-6 key swing states that really matter but when you look at the way this poll reads it baffles me. 55% of poll responders feel Trumps presidency was a success while 61% say Biden's presidency thus far is a failure. In general, 58% have an unfavorable view of Biden compared to 55% having an unfavorable view of Trump. 70% say economic conditions in the US are poor. I mean, is the economy that bad for everyone on this board? Every indicator shows the economy is doing great. I would hate to see Biden's polling on the economy if we actually had a recession or shitty stock market or inflation that was still high due to Covid. Can someone explain these types of numbers logically? On another note, I spent the last few days on a business golf trip with a bunch of my clients who are uber Trumpers (these aren't ignorant people but really intelligent successful guys) and they all kept telling me Biden is the real criminal and he is senile and won't live through the next term anyways, so you are just electing Kamala to be President. I feel like while they are super smart guys, they have been brain washed by Fox News and the right-wing pundits to point where they can't think correctly when it comes to politics. The way the media has warped the minds of the public really should be studied as a scientific experiment because it is truly amazing what has happened to the citizens of this country. Everyone on here saw the Kristi Noem puppy killing story but I can't wait until Fox News spends the next 12 months telling its viewers that killing your dog is really good for America and a year from now you will have half the country killing their dogs and being proud of it.

  9. I thought the episode was basically he was a great guy but a piece of shit when he started drinking or doing drugs which he unfortunately had issues with. That plus anger issues and I guess you get Dark Side-Gentleman Chris Adams.
  10. All I have learned from flipping the news channels this afternoon. CNN/BBC/MSNBC- Iran fired weapons at Israel and a war is breaking out. Fox News- Iran fired weapons at Israel and it is all Joe Biden’s fault and if Trump was president none of this would have happened and the whole world would be filled with rainbows and unicorns. Half the country watches that shit and nods along is what is so infuriating.
  11. I’m hurting this morning from my adventures in Las Vegas last night but this was quite tasty.
  12. Why wouldn’t you trust glasses made in China by a 4 year old?
  13. I’m guessing it’s bef. Some sort of vegan soy product that resembles beef.
  14. I prayed for the Vince Young 4th quarter scramble for the National Championship win against USC but then again, I prayed for Ewers to complete that pass at the end of the game against Washington this year. Maybe this God guy doesn't really answer my prayers.
  15. I could use some help on a good location for an incentive trip I am hosting for 130 people next June. My meeting planners for my company have given me to hotel choices in wine country. One is Montage in Healdsburg and the other is Fairmont in Sonoma. Thoughts on those 2 hotels? Things for people to do in the area for those places for a Sunday to Thursday trip? Montage seems like a really far drive from San Fran airport so that concerns me. My other choice is the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara. Thanks for any insight into this.
  16. Or after if he gets elected.
  17. Been on 3 Alaskan cruises in the past 6 years or so. For Juneau I would definitely recommend whale watching as it's right in the bay so not very far and you will see tons of whales and hopefully some even jump and shit. I have booked through Gastineau Guiding company and they do a small group tour. They have a deal where you do the whale watch and then take you to Mendenhall glacier for a hike. The whale watching in Juneau is great because the same whales hang out there all summer so the tours can find them pretty easily. For Skagway we did a helicopter to the glacier and went dog sledding. It was expensive but one of those memorable excursions. If you do that book the first one in the morning as the weather can cause stuff like that to cancel out. Ketchikan kind of sucks and I think it rained all 3 times I stopped there. The best part about the Alaskan cruise is if you go to glacier bay or Hubbard glacier. Those days are pretty spectacular if you like checking out nature.
  18. No voters that matter or most voters in general will ever see anything like this. If Biden made a similar remark, it would be on Fox News 24 hours a day for the next 5 months with every single Republican politician parroting what Biden said 24/7 meaning half the country would think Biden is senile. The right-wing Republican machine is unbelievably good at spreading misinformation or as intelligent people call it, lies.
  19. I know. I was being sarcastic with that post. It is infuriating to take something away that makes improves the voting experience because half the country are a bunch of dumb asses that vote for these pieces of shit.
  20. Why would anybody want to end early voting? I for one don't want to stand in line for hours on election day when I don't have to, and I still get my right to vote. What is wrong with the Republican party? What else will they get rid of? Are abortions, contraception and LGBQT rights next?
  21. This Slorch guy is right. It’s the parents fault for the shitty public school system in Texas and not the Republican run state government of the last 20 plus years. You know what else is the parents fault. The Texas power grid failures. If parents would do a better job then many of the good citizens of the state of Texas wouldn’t have frozen to death in their own homes a few years ago. Have we started with the, “if we taught more bible and religion in public schools then that would solve all of our education problems” from anyone yet. I can’t wait for that argument. The previous paragraph was mostly sarcastic and fuck anybody that is too stupid to realize that the Republican politicians in Texas have fucked up what was once a great state.
  22. Like I'm supposed to get short game help from a guy on the internet named 3 putt?
  23. While I have seen DSOTM, The Wall and Wish You Were Here, I would argue Pink Floyd's best concept album (and my favorite) is Animals.
  24. I was just invited to play at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale by one of the members so I'm trying to make that happen in April. Then again, I may quit altogether as my game during the winter conditions (tight lies) has gone to shit. I am dying with my short game which is causing me to shoot low 90's versus mid 80's and it's really pissing me off. What a frustrating game.
