World is Falling Apart Thread (Locked forever)

[CRTGAMER]

I do not believe any of the polls categorizing Trump voters as sexist, racist and now wrongly thought of as most in the upper middle class. The polls were wrong on who would be President last year, all just opinions. Think about it, a study decided on any given topic will lean that direction already biased and to justify time spent on the worthless poll.

All the Democrat Politicians not attending the Inauguration need to wake up and give Trump a chance, after all he is the President come Friday like it or not. Trump has negotiated so many new jobs already and that is just a start of making America Economy powerful again. What is not to like about that?

NFL Football Teams are a private company
Crazy how fans pay allegiance to the NFL Teams and not their own local college teams. In local news, the San Diego Chargers finally moved out to La La land up north, good riddance! Team owner Spanos has been ripping off San Diego for years, the worst being the unsold seats paid for by the City Ticket Guarantee years back and the games still blacked out on TV! The move to Los Angeles was due to San Diego voters denied tax revenue for a new downtown stadium after already putting a brand new baseball stadium in crowded downtown. The existing football stadium at Mission Valley so much better with plenty of parking for Tailgating. I say back San Diego college SDSU Aztecs and give them the existing huge football stadium.

The Chargers came up with a new logo that was announced at the LA Basketball game and was loudly booed out. Really a dumb on the Chargers moving to La considering the deep rivalry with the Los Angeles Raider fans who recently lost that team and got the Rams just last year. The running joke we might eventually get the Raiders who are now back in Oakland. If that ever happened, I think the riots would be worse then the Trump protests.

Local stores have 70% off sale and people burning Chargers souvenirs which might be valuable decades from now.

What Should You Do With Old San Diego Chargers Gear?
Immediately after fans learned their hometown San Diego Chargers were dropping the "San Diego" from their title, some of them took out their anger and despair by throwing out their team memorabilia. A large pile of posters, banners, hats, T-shirts and player jerseys grew in the hours after Chargers owner Dean Spanos made the announcement Thursday morning. The news has created an interesting dilemma: Do you keep the San Diego Chargers gear or get rid of it? Are you more loyal of a fan if you burn it or pack it away as a memento of better days?

Learn to read more carefully. I noted that the swing voters this time were more upper middle class. Also, exit polls continue to have relatively high accuracy, unlike other polls, since they poll actual voters leaving the polls.

You mean like how all the Republicans peacefully accepted that Obama was president 8 years ago? Why do we always ask the Democrats to take the high road but it's OK if the Republicans go low? Republican lawmakers are literally telling the public that the Democrats are horrible for considering doing what the Republicans themselves did in excess for 8 years straight.

Oop should have put it there. Then again the "World Is Falling Apart" according to San Diego Football Fans.

I whole-heartedly agree with Senator McConnell - Democrats should welcome and respect Trump the same way that they did with Obama eight years ago. It would be utterly and unacceptably unfair to treat President Trump differently.

@CRT - Hahaha, ZING! Sorry, Charger fans.

[Ack]

I whole-heartedly agree with Senator McConnell - Democrats should welcome and respect Trump the same way that they did with Obama eight years ago. It would be utterly and unacceptably unfair to treat President Trump differently.

So basically the Democrats should be nice but open and honest about their gripes until President Trump flatly says, "I won," and then ignores them?

Because that's pretty much what happened with President Obama.

No, I meant state outright and publicly that their goal is to obstruct the president that every opportunity, fight every single nomination tooth and nail, show unprecedented displays of disrespect on the floor of Congress, and refuse to so much as hold a hearing on his Supreme Court nominees.

Ah, so pretty much similar behavior to how Democrats reacted to President Bush or other Republican presidents at times.

Frankly to expect either party to behave "respectfully" to each other and not at times try to openly harass and oppose is to invite folly.

The first should be expected. But even then, the GOP was rather mild with their treatment of Pres. Obama overall. It's not like Democrats haven't steadfastly announced their opposition to Republican presidents in the past, try to obstruct at every opportunity or fight nominations (look at what they did to Robert Bork!).

Besides, refusing to hold a hearing on the last Supreme Court nominee is only what Joe Biden and others advocated years ago.

I think what rankles me more than anything is this outrage that the "other side" somehow shouldn't do everything in their power to keep policies diametrically opposed to their views from coming to fruition. Indeed, I want that to happen. I expect it from the Democrats, and it's going to happen. There won't be any honeymoon. They're going to obstruct like nobody's business, and they should. If the GOP is guilty of anything, it's of not obstructing enough.
