So I'm surprised Steve Bartman never made an appearance?!  I woulda thought he'd be given a hero's welcome in forgiveness.

Actually...it's kind of funny...

they talked about it a few times along the ways of the playoffs...

apparently he was invited and the whole purpose was to make amends...I think most people in Chicago want to make amends with Bartman...that was a sad display.

Apparently they've been inviting him for years and he always declines. He says he just wants to be left alone.

One of the first things Donald Trump should do is try to get marijuana and all drugs legalized across the country and end the ridiculous war on drugs. Then, regulate them.

I'm serious. You kill a lot of problems doing it. Think of the revenue stream, for one. And you decrease the prison population, which strains taxpayers.  You also don't turn an entire generation of young drug users into criminals. Plus, it would fuck with Mexico's drug cartels.

It's a win all around. Can't believe it has never happened.

It's why I supported Gary Johnson. He leans this direction but doesn't go as far as what I described above.

I absolutely agree with you there. Not sure it'll happen. Lots of people still have it in their minds that marijuana is this evil illegal drug, so I'm not sure it'd be such an easy thing to do. But I don't really see the downside. People who want to smoke pot are going to smoke it whether it's legal or not, might as well capitalize on it.

I'm not just talking pot, man. All drugs. The war on drugs might be the biggest mistake a president has made in quite some time.

I don't think making zero sense, catering to xenophobes and telling dumb people what they want to hear is a great campaign, merely dishonesty that morons chose to believe. Now, when Trump fails to do any of the things he promises, racist white people will just get even more pissed off and enraged and continue to direct their fury at the same they did here. Because THEY can't be wrong, right?

Democrats have their issues, without question, but using ego, power and celebrity to become president without any honesty or forward thinking isn't exactly groundbreaking campaigning. If anyone thinks Trump is gonna be thinking about anything but jerking off all over himself stroking his own ego that he gets to be the most powerful person in the world, you're nuts. How in God's name can anyone think this man actually cares about anyone? He just said what he had to say to convince some people who never made it through high school to flip.

Yes and no, he can't build a wall, he can't ban Muslims or launch nukes, but it can wreck the economy. The currency of all our trade partners, and ours, is dropping badly for example. The other shoe hasn't dropped yet, and there was a reason Asange and Putin worked so hard to get him elected. Why? They aren't doing it for no reason. There's a reason here. I mean, Trump said at one time he wanted Assange executed, but he was gung ho of getting him elected.  There's a great deal of uncertainty and unfortunately, uncertainty can wreck our economy. Or what Assange has on Trump. We saw what he did to Hillary.

With all due respect, Hillary has no one to blame but herself for the way things have unfolded. If she didn't make some major mistakes along the way, we wouldn't be in this situation.

She was a flawed candidate, but no. Just no. These things have been building for years. Trump was just as flawed. The last two weeks killed her. Wikileaks killed her. If you don't think so, I don't know what to tell you.

Everything is going to be fine.  As much as we all had a blast bitching about this, the truth is the President can't really do a whole lot.  The world isn't going to end tomorrow.
