  1. It's going to be interesting seeing how the Cavs adjust going forward. Do they continue to focus entirely on Curry and Thompson and hope that the bench players don't play lights-out again? Or do they shift how they play off the screens? I find it absolutely dumbfounding. Curry has a terrible game shooting the ball, and then when it gets into crunch time, he's the one to score the dagger bucket. Delly and the rest of the Cavs pretty much hugged Curry the entire time he didn't have the ball and was trying to get open, but that's by no means an excuse. He missed a lot of shots that he normally doesn't miss. So it's a precarious position for the Cavs, because you know that he and Thompson aren't likely to shoot that poorly again.
  2. Other countries would say he has done well with foreign relations because he's a pushover and apologizes to everyone for America being a big bully nation. Based on everything I've seen and heard, he isn't all that respected as a leader of the country... By anyone. If he weren't as smooth of a talker, that would be much more apparent.
  3. For Trump, I'd like to see Rubio. I don't think that's who it will be but I was a big fan of his early on in the primary. I could see Kasich and that would be ok but I don't think it will be him either. I do believe that Trump will pick an established politician who will help him write and push bills through. As far as Hillary, she would have to pick Jesus Christ as her VP for me to ever even consider voting for her.
  4. 9/11 happened under Bush.They were here and it was planned for 5 years under Clinton, Bush was 9 months on the job. Nice try though.Bush then invaded the wrong country, costing the nation trillions of dollars and the lives of over 4,000 servicemen. He was on the job a little more than nine months when he did that.The destabilization of Iraq gave rise to several militant groups, including but not limited to Daesh/ISIS/ISIL, which has been responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 civilians, and three American servicemen since October, 2015.I mean, I could go on. Bush was a disaster with foreign relations. Set America back decades. But you can pretend he did a good job, and you can pretend Benghazi wouldn't have happened on his watch, but history doesn't agree with you. Truth. I struggle to understand how people defend the tenure of Bush as president. On the same note, I struggle to understand how people defend the tenure of Obama as well. Speaking of disaster in foreign relations...
  5. Well when counting actual votes won, the delegate count is 1769 to 1501. I'm not saying she is not leading, but she has taken much longer to secure the Dem nomination in a 3 or 4 person field than Trump did in a 16 person field, and the candidates on the GOP side were much stronger that Trump toppled than what Hillary had to deal with. I'm not discounting Bernie's success with the far left elements of the Democratic party either. Not to mention if the superdelegates hadn't pledged to Clinton early on it would not have swayed voters nearly as much and more potentially could have voted for Sanders.
  6. Actually, it makes complete sense for a scam like Trump University to offer a refund. The students that demand a refund are the most likely to sue so giving them a refund could save them millions in a lawsuit. What I find surprising is the number of students that received or attempted to receive a refund: Link If only they offered refunds at public universities... There would be closer to 80% that would demand a refund considering that's approximately the number that don't even get a job in their degree field. But since that's the societal norm, for some reason, people keep pushing kids to college even though the student loan debt will set them back. Hmmmmm..... Your posts are starting to sound like Trumps comments. You could look back to a couple of years ago and I would've already said that public universities are a waste of money for a vast majority of the population and I maintain that.
  7. Not GOLF!!! Damn Guy, you just changed my mind. There's no way I could ever vote for someone who cheats at golf!
  8. I still maintain that Curry wasn't 100% on his knee this past series, but I agree. He's got to be special like he has been all season if he wants to beat this Cavs team.

  10. Never mind that it was against NY law to call the organization a "University". Gotcha. I guess fine him for that and move on, because that's as bad as this should ever get.
  11. Also, BigRedBuster, to answer your question with a straight forward answer: scam noun 1. a dishonest scheme; a fraud. Former Trump University Students: ‘We Never Felt Pressured’
  12. All I know is - like referenced in the one article - if they really offered a full refund for anyone who was feeling overwhelmed in the course that should be the end of the entire case right there. Scams don't offer refunds. Seriously???? that is the criteria you are using to decide this wasn't a fraud? That, along with the dozens of testimonies I have watched and read from people who said that they learned great information from the seminars. So I'm trying to understand you... You told me that you're a business-man... How do you succeed in your business with such an employee mindset?
  13. Even if it were so, look at your other option... That's more than enough reason to consider, well... About anyone else. I'm having one hell of a problem figuring out which is worse. They both lie constantly and will say and do whatever it takes to reach their end goal no matter who stands in the way. And....both of them have this group of followers that keep trying their best to defend them. Actually when it comes to Trump he has a large group of people that will take any piece of information no matter how inaccurate or incomplete and try to run with it in order to bash him. All I know is - like referenced in the one article - if they really offered a full refund for anyone who was feeling overwhelmed in the course that should be the end of the entire case right there. Scams don't offer refunds. Based on everything that I have read, there is no reason for me to believe that Trump University was a Ponzi scheme to try to talk people out of their money. As far as the aggressive sales tactics, you could walk onto a car lot anywhere in the United States and get more aggressive sales tactics than that. Like I said, the only problem I have with everything that I have read on this entire case is that they encourage people to max out credit cards and take out home equity loans to pay for the University. Other than that, everything else points to good things with that program. So if you want to continue to use your blind hatred and take any piece of information no matter how inaccurate that supports your viewpoint that is your prerogative but I won't be joining you.

  15. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/06/01/trump-university-students-speak-never-felt-pressured-offered-refunds/ From the article: She added, “I see and hear there are former Trump University students coming out and I have to sit back and think to myself, if they were given the same information, the same education, the same opportunity, how come they didn’t have the same results? And I think that’s because you have to take action upon yourself. You have to go out and make it happen.” Casey Hoban, who took Trump University classes with his business partner, is also featured in the video reminding people that the school gave people a chance to have a refund. “An interesting thing that they did when they started that class… they told us that if you feel you’re over your head or you feel you’re not going use these techniques then leave your books on the shelf, check out of the class now, and we’ll refund you…they gave people a chance to leave the class,” Hoban recalled.
  16. It's definitely not the only endorsement. I've read four or five articles about this whole thing that are supposedly supposed to be mind blowing. All I've got to say is I went to college for four and a half years and didn't learn Jack squat about business or really anything extremely useful but since it's a societal Norm people don't complain about that. Now when it comes to Trump running a "university" to try to help people who have entrepreneurial ambition and are interested in learning about real estate, people think that they are walking into something that is guaranteed to make them money for whatever reason and don't realize that it takes application of those strategies to make the money. You could actually be open-minded and go research for yourself and find tons of people vouching for the program instead of being ignorant about the topic and taking the first negative thing that supports your viewpoint and running with it - but I understand that that's not what you people do here when it comes to Trump. I will say that asking people to take out loans against their home equity or asking them to max out their credit cards to pay for Trump University is a disagreeable tactic for sure that I do not support, but I will also say that was literally the only thing I took issue with in everything that I have read.
  17. And people think this guy should be president. What a joke. You really have to be blind to support someone like this, someone so undeniably crooked and unfit for office. Or you could get all sides of stories before you overreact. http://www.businessinsider.com/seattle-man-endorses-trump-university-lessons-2013-8
  18. Warriors in 4 (hopeful prediction) Warriors in 6 (real prediction)
  19. No....it just shows the irreverence they have for each other. No different than him just calling her Hillary or at least it's more respectable than Crooked Hillary. But that would be much less accurate than what he currently refers to her as.
  20. How exactly does a wall on the southern border have anything to do with big government? It's supporting nationalism, nothing more. People like me who oppose big government support Trump because of his ideas to cut many of the over-reaching aspects of our government, and as a former educator who has seen how our educational system works first-hand, he is going to get rid of arbitrary testing and bring educational decisions to the state and local levels, which is how it SHOULD be. Building a 2,000 mile wall on the Mexican Border would be a massive undertaking by the federal government, not merely the construction but the maintenance and administration, and regardless of what Trump says in his stump speech, the cost would be footed by the American taxpayer. The purpose of the wall is the very definition of federal government over-reach, a wildly expensive and inefficient response to an issue way down the list of what America needs most at this time. It's a fact that the federal government has ballooned under Republican administrations despite their "small government" claims, and Trump sounds no different. Under the guise of patriotism, they are huge spenders, social engineers and wealth redistributors, merely funneling taxpayer money to their own colleagues, donors and agenda. Now who is this "former educator" you're speaking about, who has seen our education system first-hand? Did you mean you, or Trump? Me. I just retired (resigned).
  21. He didn't do a very good job of it, but what he was attempting to do was highlight the fact that you crassly pointed out your "expert's" looks, as if what she looks like has anything to do with her opinion.It's the kind of locker-room mentality that doesn't have a place in politics. We need people to absorb information and vote with their brain, not their heart or their balls. Haha! While I understand your concern, it has nothing to do with anything. If we have come to a point where we can get even acknowledge someone's looks, that is flat out ridiculous.
  22. Not gonna lie, I laughed a lot, even as someone who advocates for Trump. The only problem with this guy is he makes a career making jokes about other people, and that's not someone I'm ever going to listen to. Here is an intelligent person who lays it out there (and she's really nice on the eyes as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQfIXixFi7o Also, one thing to note is that Tomi was extremely against Trump because she thought he was rude, and she has since joined his side understanding his flaws but still understanding that he's the best remaining candidate.

Not sure if I'd bucket you as a sexist or a misogynist but either way you're an ass. If you had anyone starting to buy into your weird bs theories, you hopefully lost them with your 'easy on the eyes" comment. Do you not realize that by demeaning her with that comment you also take away any perceived legitimacy of her comments? I understand now why you're such a zombie like follower of Drumpf. So acknowledging someone's good looks is now not only politically incorrect but is also a way of meeting someone? Tell me how that makes sense…
  23. The same can be said for those that are supporting Hillary. They are scared of what Trump might do, so they want to keep the status quo. So....I post a video of a guy making points as to why Trump is a total imbecile (in a comedic way) and to counter that, a video is posted of a person who claims to be kind of/sort of/maybe going to support Trump because he's not nearly as bad as the alternative. She really doesn't give any real reason to vote for him other than....he isn't Hillary. Wow.....that just gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling. She typically presents her points in short, fiery segments. Watch more of them, and you'll see why she supports him other than the fact that Hillary is pretty much evil.
