Any chance we can drag Roger over to this board and try getting Jaywitt over here? I see he's still putting posts up over there now and then. Anyone know how we can let these guys know we're mostly over here without having to post it on that board and alert Kark? I don't mind Kark posting, but I assume others do, so I'm not about to say anything about it publicly.

I'll see what I can do. I know I notified them before when I created this board.

Re: Other board
I'm keeping the other board open for the inevitable return of Kark, which maybe in 18-20 years depending on good behavior.

Re: Other board
How about renaming the two existing ones to left leaning and right leaning politics and other miscellaneous and open up a new one that is exclusively White Sox. If you do not support the predominant opinion in either lean, it is hard to feel comfortable in either. I did not enjoy seeing the previous administration called the disgusting names they endured, but neither do I enjoy seeing the president called a vile, disgusting being. I have a real problem determining which side is the tolerant one. Each seems very tolerant to those that share their beliefs, however.

Jim, on the right hand side of both boards (when you see all of the different threads listed, when you first open it up), you can see a (-). Click on it and you can't see if there is any discussion going on there. It's your own private filter. I have used it many times, but I'm stupid, I keep coming back. LOL

It's a false equivalent. Calling Barack Obama racist names, not American, a Muslim who was gay and married to a man, when he is, by all accounts, a very decent man who had policy differences is malicious and racist. Calling Donald Trump vile is truth in advertising. He makes fun of the disabled. He denigrated McCain, and then after promising McCain's daughter that he wouldn't criticize McCain at rallies anymore, he did just that...because terrorizing a family whose war hero loved one was dying is just super fun in his eyes.
You need look no further than the disrespect he showed McCain, both with his lame tweet after he passed, and not keeping the flag at half staff because he hated McCain to know what a miserable fuck he is.
You know, I always say that when you're dealing with someone who's in the public eye and that person may not be on your side of the aisle, you look to the opinions of others who you DO respect who DO know that person well, and you will cut through a lot of bullshit and figure out if the person in question is decent. Some examples:
George H.W. Bush, and especially Barbara Bush, ADORE(d) Bill Clinton and Barbara referred to him as another son.
George W. Bush has a very special relationship with Michelle Obama
John McCain asked both Barack Obama and George W. Bush to speak at his funeral and McCain even spoke at his rallies about how decent Obama is.
Donald Trump? They ALL think he's a fuck. And they know even more about him than any of us see (and what we see is enough). Trumpies will say that they feel negatively about him because he's draining the swamp and that's upsetting the apple cart, but they think that because they know he's a vile fuck. It doesn't get much lower than going after a dying man after you promised his daughter that you wouldn't. If you don't like the Trump rhetoric, you're going to have to get used to it...because it will only get worse when he and his mob family get indicted.
A 5-time draft dodger because of bone spurs says he doesn't respect McCain's service because he was captured. Fuck that draft dodging entitled piece of waste.
No, you can't

Re: Other board
I would think that if you don't like the political discussions and diatribes, either avoid them completely by not reading them, or read them with a grain of salt. If I think someone is out of line, I say so. You can do the same. Or, you can just avoid it completely. And I agree with Blondy about the false equivalency. The orange monster is being banned from the funerals of decent people like Barb Bush and John McCain. We can vehemently disagree all day long on religion and politics, Nomads, but pretty much everyone here finds you to be a decent human being worthy of respect. I would suggest that even Trump's family members know he's a vile and disgusting person. On his worst day, Obama isn't vile or disgusting. He's just a guy that views the world through a different lens from some of us.
We're talking about a guy who's been accused by two different people of rape, and of assault by another 15 or so. Affairs with porn stars and Playboy models while his wife was pregnant. Has cheated on each wife before leaving them for the next wife. Bragged openly about grabbing pussy. Provably lies approximately 7 times per day in an open forum. Makes fun of the handicapped. Picks mercilessly on black folks, calling them "low IQ" in most cases. And then there's HIS dastardly child separation policy where they took 800 kids from their parents, deported the parents with no plan for the kids, and then hoped nobody would notice. Just figured "we'll stick those kids in an orphanage..." Is there even a word for this kind of evil? I gotta say, I'd like to know why Blondy is being so nice about the orange asshole when she only calls him a vile fuck. Maybe Donald figured he'd get those kids from the orphanage when they turn 18 and have them work for next to nothing at his country club.
If someone wants to have a discussion about Trump's policies, that's a different story. Someone could argue that some of his policies will ultimately bear fruit and be helpful. I've always said that any and every president will make some policies that help the country no matter how goofy, dumb, smart, evil, or kind they are. I actually enjoy that aspect of the contrast between the parties. Dems come and do their thing and help things and hurt some things. Repubs come in and do some of their things and help/hurt. Hopefully it all balances in the end for the most part. That said, I can't believe the evangelicals are in love with Trump. Highest repub approval ratings in many decades. Huge approval ratings from evangelicals. It's utterly amazing.

That's fine jim and the minute I say that Abreu is a good hitter or Tim Anderson should play 2b, or the Sox should bring up Jimenez - and i'm called a fucking not-too shapy dumbfuck for my BASEBALL opinions, what recourse do I have? ….ya gotta another board in your pocket that talks baseball?
