Went over to IC for the first time in a long, long while and the free boards are gone, but they still have a free ZZL, lol. It's far less active than this one. A number of the few posters there were complaining about how dead both the IC ZZL and 247 non-sports topic boards were, and how such...

I haven't gone on the free boards much since this board was created last year, but based on what I saw and remember that's not much of a loss, imo. Both the free football and especially free basketball boards had become toxic on the old IC - just sewers of constant negativity about the players...

And so it begins. We have one party that are bullies and can smell weakness, and we have another party that has too many people not willing to stand up to the bullies. And so you end up with demands like this, because Republicans think they can always get Democrats to back down.

I know it's been said before, but it's worth repeating that if an enemy nation were trying to gravely weaken and damage and perhaps destroy the United States, they couldn't be doing a better job than Trump & Company are currently doing. With friends like these the USA doesn't need enemies.

I was talking about Kim Davis, not Trump.

Send away that brave fighter for traditional family and Christian values? The thrice-divorced, married-the-same-guy-twice defender of Old-Time Christianity? The same woman who gave birth to twins fathered by her third (future) husband while she was still married to her second husband? Say it...

One thing none of these people addressed was how they could ever again justify refusing to keep the government open in the future given that they just showed that if Trump & Republicans cause enough pain they'll fold like a house of cards. Good luck deciding to support a shutdown anytime in the...

It is if you never really had much of a spine to begin with, and you've grown complacent and don't have a clue as to how angry and frustrated many Democrats are beyond the beltway. I'm not defending them, in fact I'm saying that the party desperately needs new and more dynamic leadership that...

These are people who in many cases are so old, and have been in public office for so long, that they have lived most of their adult lives in DC and not in their home states. They've clearly lost touch with their constituent's desires or with what is happening to the country outside the beltway...

The only positive is that all but 3 of those games we should still win even without Seth. The Michigan State, UK, and Georgetown games will all be tough to win without him, but doable. Hopefully he won't be out any longer than that.

Agreed. If they were going to cave without an agreement to extend Obamacare subsidies then they never should have made this fight, imo. They're not going to get any credit for doing so and will simply get all the blame for the hardships and if the subsidies are cut then people will blame them...

Agree that he didn't write that, but no doubt he's agitated, as he's had a very bad week. His side lost bigly in the Tuesday elections, he's at his lowest level ever in many polls, the Democrats haven't yet folded in the budget shutdown and there's growing evidence in polls that most people...

Damn. "Why can't we have nice things?"

Putting the dumb and unrealistic idea of a 50-year (!) mortgage aside, it should be obvious to anyone looking at the median US home price and average monthly mortgage payment for a 30-year mortgage at why so many Americans are frustrated and angry with the economy in general, and why the...
