The age-old Democratic excuse-making.

Also, uhhh, maybe try reading that piece again Grasshopper.

The defendants believed their anti-U.S. government views aligned with those of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization, and actively developed plans to carry out violence in Minnesota and elsewhere

Most Hamas supporters I know (and that isn't many, maybe in fact only one: Ilhan Omar) are kinda Democratic.

In any event, you might want to catch up on the actual news out there and see the mugshots of those arrested in, say, Portland, and let us know when you find any Republican in the crowd. You might be a while so I will go for a dip in the pool. Start here and simply keep going; maybe you'll find that unicorn, because these boys and girls and she-girls and he-boys all look and sound kinda Democratic insane



There goes Petey in his delusionalism again. Every other post he makes asserts Democrats want more government control over everything. Now he asserts that Democrats endorse delusionals who are anti government like those two white supremacists are. Yeah, great job Petey. :lol:

It's really weird - PB got super defensive also when I asked him if he played a number of months back. It's not like we're literally on a lacrosse website or anything. I guess not having any common ground with other people helps him feel better about all the b.s. he slings. Makes the other side seem less human.

Just wondering. You played in college I believe? And you mentioned your kids played? Anyway Good For You. Did not Cooter bring up the hypothetical about playing in college? Just wondering about his frame of reference.... he can speak for himself.

No dude, it’s just keep someone’s kids off your lips unless that person brings it up first.

How effing hard is that?! Btw, if you asked me if I played lacrosse, I wouldn’t be offended, cause I didn’t. I’d be more weirded out that you’d want to know that. Yeah it’s a lacrosse site, but this politics thread wasn’t made to swap locker room stories if I’m not mistaken.

You guys have this weird fetish to know about other people’s kids and it’s repulsive. TLD has asked before. And yes, PM it if you’re overwhelmed with an urge to dive into another’s life.

I’m not seeking common ground with people who are more interested in people and not ideas. Go read People Magazine if that’s your gig.

See the young girls running scared. How does any Democrat think that those people and anyone who watches this video will vote for Biden after seeing this?
These people don't want people to vote for Biden. They want more of this. Which means that they want four more years of Trump.

It's not. But you're forgetting that the rest of us aren't sensitive, and some are just asking to understand other views a bit better.

It's a friendly conversation, for heaven's sake. Relax. ;)

And the actual discussion involves playing sports in college, the possible varying experiences of doing so with predominantly white or black teammates...nah, the question of one's own experience doesn't matter.

Our own experience, or that of our family members, does provide some potential perspective. Or certainly could.

Cooter's a UMD fan, but I don't recall whether that was from being a player or having a kid who went there...I'd bet on having been a player, pretty darn knowledgeable (though sometimes obnoxious when he posts on other school threads, but hey, a little back and forth).

I don't think his views would fit well with John Tillman's, though.

Of course, we do have at least one active poster on here who never played lax, far as we can tell didn't play any sport in college. So, not sure he brings much to the table on what an athlete's experience is like on a team nor to the discussions of the sport. That said, there are a few others who I don't think played, but who were avid fans as students and long time followers of the game. Can't really count our troll on that list, given some of the rather ridiculous things he said from time to time about players, prospects for his chosen team, and his trolling of another school's thread.

So, no surprise how he trolls here.

What's the BFD about someone asking you if you or kids played lacrosse on a lacrosse site?
I played and all three of my boys did. That was absolutely painless...now is that TMI about me and my kids?

This is a crystal clear example where MD inadvertently proves he actually (as opposed to his written words) has no problem with the Democratic lunatics turning over diners tables across America. I mean after all, if bringing someone someone’s kids into a convo is fair game, what’s a little rioting on top?

No lines any more for Democrats. It’s all good so long as Orange Man Bad.

Disgusting.

It’s perfectly fine IF YOU BRING IT UP FIRST.

When someone asks and you haven’t said schiddt, they can go eff themselves so far as I’m concerned.

I was just asking. Where did you play? Does your kid play? I have had people here drop where mine played although I have never mentioned it here. Must be that PM thingy. I played two division 3 sports in college..... 🏀 and 🥍 My son played lacrosse.
It's really weird - PB got super defensive also when I asked him if he played a number of months back. It's not like we're literally on a lacrosse website or anything. I guess not having any common ground with other people helps him feel better about all the b.s. he slings. Makes the other side seem less human.
And the actual discussion involves playing sports in college, the possible varying experiences of doing so with predominantly white or black teammates...nah, the question of one's own experience doesn't matter.

Our own experience, or that of our family members, does provide some potential perspective. Or certainly could.

Cooter's a UMD fan, but I don't recall whether that was from being a player or having a kid who went there...I'd bet on having been a player, pretty darn knowledgeable (though sometimes obnoxious when he posts on other school threads, but hey, a little back and forth).
Cooter's been the best lacrosse fan on Laxpower pretty much from day one. His depth of knowledge as to all the teams his favored Terps play is remarkable.
