i'm hoping that will come too. jones is a solid guyjones played a pretty crucial role in the vetting of biden's supreme court pick
..yes, good point. I'm glad he was put in that role, but hoping for something more permanent.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I had no idea....Former poster Valujet died a couple weeks ago. There is a thread about it on the prayer requests board, for those who missed it.
I almost started a thread here about it but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate. But after the mention of other former posters I decided to include it in this thread.I'm really sorry to hear this. I had no idea....
Valujet was a good dude!
Had a fantastic avatar and I'll never for get his "Rolleth"!
Will try to pay appropriate homage again during football season.
His legacy will live on with arguably one of the - if not the - best avatar/slogans ever to exist on this forum.I almost started a thread here about it but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate. But after the mention of other former posters I decided to include it in this thread.
I don’t know if his withdrawal from the board was health related but I guess it doesn’t matter.
RIP VJ Rolleth on.
I did as well, but those candidates, the ‘what is Aleppo‘ guy and the Bat Lady were in way over their heads. I do think a more centrist third party is viable, probably never see it in our lifetimes.I voted for the libertarian candidate in '16. Figured he'd have enough checks & balances to keep him somewhere in the middle.

I'd think I'd like to see a centrist 3rd party become strong enough to win enough seats to keep either the R's or D's from getting a majority in Congress...so that either one would have to seek the support of the centrist party to get anything done
Don't think I'll see it though... and not sure it would work as described...
I'm not suggesting an extreme - a POTUS and leaders in congress in their 60's would be a fresh of breath air (mentally) compared to what we've had for some time now.So, I guess I'm cynical, but the only thing I see changing with putting younger people in is going from one extreme to another. The Baby Boomers have driven a "more money, more money, more money" society, and from what I gather in my small part of the map (when dealing with the "younger" folks) is they are more than ready to go to the other extreme. I fully recognize my opinion is formed out of my surroundings and experiences which may not be other peoples', but that also applies to all of us.
After Johnson made some really stupid statements. I just wrote in Nick Saban . Really each party couldn’t have picked a worse candidate to represent them.Another Johnson voter here. It really didn’t matter in Alabama but I just couldn’t vote for Clinton.
Johnson was a nice guy and probably a fine governor of New Mexico but not cut out for the big stage.
A third party would be nice but that isn’t happening in my lifetime and probably not in my yet to be conceived grandkids’ lives. The only ones who ever get any traction are led by someone on an ego trip. Once he moves on, the movement dies.
I’m sorry but both Britts made a pilgrimage to kiss Trump’s ring at the same time Trump was praising Putin. If you want to appeal to him and his followers, then you get credit.It’s not about only Trump. Any thinking person can see he’s a dangerous buffoon, and not that smart.
It’s been about other stuff as well. For example, who should bear the risk of default on student loan debt, whether student loans should be forgiven, how healthcare should be delivered, and who should pay for it, among other Issues.
Discussions around several topics having nothing to do with Donald Trump have gotten hyperbolic, nasty and personal.
This thread is actually an interesting microcosm. We go from the opening post asking whether any Presidential candidate can substantially unite the country, to questioning Wesley Britt’s fitness as a husband.
Honestly depends on the fortitude of the wife. If your wife is shy or a people pleaser, then you don't. If your wife has a hot temper & flies off the handle - you probably don't unless you just want a good laugh.I’m sorry but both Britts made a pilgrimage to kiss Trump’s ring at the same time Trump was praising Putin.

my remark was…what self respecting husband takes his wife to an audience with a pervert who is on record bragging about grabbing women by the genitals. yes, that’s harsh. Supporting Putin in any fashion, even indirectly, is also harsh in my humble opinion.
I don’t recall these nasty hyperbolic threads you don’t like. The board is well moderated and personal attacks are not tolerated. I don’t read everything written, I must miss that kind of stuff. Overall, I think this board has a good set of posters and the tone is not nearly as awful as you seem to suggest.
im sorry if my own posting style puts you off, I don’t mean to discourage anyone from joining in. Try to join the discussion, and ease up on focusing on criticizing what you don’t like, and give it a go.
There's a reason we felt the need to post this sticky:I don’t recall these nasty hyperbolic threads you don’t like. The board is well moderated and personal attacks are not tolerated.

the whole "wokeness" terminology is ridiculous. it is literally a slur against people trying not to be racistCan you blame Saban's so-called "wokeness"? His bread and butter lies in recruting 4 and 5 star recruits, nearly all of them African-American. In a state that only in recent years has taken down the Rebel flag from the state capitol.
Steve Spurrier was pretty outspoken about the Confederate flag. Do I think he would have given two rips about it if it didn't affect recruiting.
The way it is being used by republicans is disgusting, considering the origins. They are telling us who they are: the people black people must remain "woke"/alert/on the lookout for. They are mocking black people being alert to protect themselves from racial violence - past, present, and future. It's akin to calling Ukrainians "woke" mockingly for defending themselves, but worse (because their ancestors were often responsible for that violence).the whole "wokeness" terminology is ridiculous. it is literally a slur against people trying not to be racist
the second i hear that word come out of someone's mouth, i know i can stop taking them seriously.
Every time I see a "Blue Lives Matter" sign, I start looking for a Trump sticker.the whole "wokeness" terminology is ridiculous. it is literally a slur against people trying not to be racist

I used to do write ins but decided I was creating extra work for some poor slob. Johnson would have been in way over his head but he wasn’t carrying Alabama so I wasn’t hurting anything. I felt increasing the Libertarian vote was making a bigger statement.After Johnson made some really stupid statements. I just wrote in Nick Saban . Really each party couldn’t have picked a worse candidate to represent them.
My political views have moved leftward the last few years due to a desire to not be associated with the Trump cult.I am not so sure that this board is more liberal than in years past, the appearance of being liberal is because there are so many never-Trumpers on here. Most people can recognize a sociopathic crook.
I don’t know if Saban cares about BLM. But his players do. If his participation in the march deflected any negativity towards the players or kept one idiot from yelling racist comments it was worth it. I doubt he cares if a few toothless morons stop watching or don’t buy the cheapest t-shirt made in China that Wal-Mart sells.Can you blame Saban's so-called "wokeness"?
