Anyone who damages property should be held accountable for their actions and punished accordingly. I am not disagreeing on that point.

I am saying that the very public announcement by the administration of the deployment was meant to escalate the violence and it has succeeded in doing so.


But how should the building be protect the Federal building if the state and local governments aren’t willing to protect it?

I’m not talking about punishment, I’m talking about protecting the building. Who should do it if the state and local governments won’t? No one?
 
Well your win percentages suck lol.

We can do a 2v2 series
A 3v3 series
And a 5v5 series

$500 a series
We’ve been over this, hail.

Each of us play with more than one player. So a lot of our games we are new 85s or whatever with zero badges. Unless I’m remembering wrong, don’t you have the same guy through the whole game?

How in the world do you come to the conclusion that the announcement was meant to escalate violence? That's just silly, honestly. If you want to worry about escalating violence, why don't you criticize the mayor and governor who refuse to allow police to do their jobs. Your response feels very political. By that I mean, because Trump did this you automatically label it bad.

I have an inside glass lock and a shooting glass lock.

Shady has a stretch 4, a three level scorer, a perimeter lock, and a 2 way slashing playmaker.
 
I don’t think there’s any excuse for it not to be cross platform at this point.
I agree. How in the world they don't have that already is beyond me.

Speaking on platforms, what are you all gonna buy when the new ones come out in the winter? I'm on Xbox One right now. Thinking I may give the new PS5 a shot.

I am thinking I will be with one primary guy next season for the most part. I would love to see how far I can get. MAYBE to an elite. But I have the build that I want in mind, assuming a lot doesn’t change. What have you heard for the next game?

I was leaning towards the Xbox but their show last week wasn’t very impressive. I’ll still probably go that way but it’s definitely making me consider the PlayStation. I just built a new gaming PC though so I may hold out for a bit.

Similar to this year, Jordan rec will be mamba rec center.

Being able to shoot threes with my big now has been a game changer. We play cheesy. We will put a lockdown / rebounding wing in one corner and me in the other corner. Our 2 way slashing play will iso and either get an easy bucket every time or if your corners suck like TheDude does and tries to help I’ll hit the three.

It’s cheese and I’d love to make you guys complain about it while TheDude is trying to play post up offense lol

It’s an annoying style to play against but effective. Those types of teams are always hardest to beat. We play pretty good D though, it would be fun. To play and talk shit haha
 
I feel like we’ve been in a drought for games on Xbox lately which blows. I can’t wait for Cyberpunk2077 to finally come out.
I think a lot has to do with the pandemic and waiting for the next gen. That is something where PS seems to have Xbox’s number. Quantity of games.

I agree. I tried to get into war zone but it just didn’t do it for me. I used to love pubg but that’s fallen off lately.

Y’all ever played Escape from Tarkov?

Just buy a PS5 instead of Xbox for real

We’ve had objective people watch both our streams and they come away saying we are a bette team. Blame your center.
 
You mean the people who are so sensitive about kneeling during a song and sensitive about people using their constitutional rights to protest and sensitive about people thinking that covid is a bad thing and all of that, who are also personally attacking people they don't agree with by calling them low people they have no respect for and that nobody looks up to and who are Commie-loving America-haters and so on and so forth? That's funny to me too?

Ipsy, I can't tell if you are knowingly lying, or you just see the opposite of reality. It is strange, because you strike me as a good dude, but man... your posts are out there.



I don't think you are close at all. He's been pretty clear that he is not joking.
I don’t take the time to read through every comment. I skim through a lot...Just like now all ima say is kneeling during ...a “song”...wow. People wanna see everything so deeply and be offended by everything but that’s just a ....song. I shouldn’t have to, or have time to go any further on that. And “protesting” huh...HA! That’s what you wanna call it? Lol

BTW, @Crest is Garbage and @VaBlueDevil33, sorry to say this, but I would simply put a few of the brand new posters here on ignore. I know they will absolutely attack me for saying that, but I think they are specifically looking to troll at this point, and really it just gets SO personal for them... I mean, I've been told I am a horrible, America-hating, communist with no morals and honor who doesn't actually care at all about people suffering from covid... oh, and I'm a pedophile, too, just like Joe Biden. I literally took them off ignore several times because people were like "Oh no, don't worry, it won't get personal" and every single time, it just devolved into internet nastiness.

For the sake of having decent conversation that doesn't just become personal attacks, I'd say ignore two or three of them, and then we can go back and forth without that.

Just my two cents, for which I know I'll get relentlessly, personally attacked:)

I'm a brand new poster? Lol

It's a pretty clear example of him being disingenuous.
 
The onus is on the Governors and Mayors to solve the problems in the cities and I’m sure if the populace is not satisfied with their efforts, they will show them in November. It’s not a federal issue though. I’m shocked the states rights people are not all over this....lol I’m actually not shocked at all.

I think Trump and his campaign have had a wake up call with the polls that have come out recently. They’re terrible and impossible to spin into a favorable way. I’m sure the campaign is pushing a change in tone but I doubt it will hold with such an undisciplined candidate. He’s literally his own worst enemy.

It would have been far easier to work towards a solution from the beginning than trying to scramble for one now. This quote from a Post article is right on I think:

“People close to Trump, many speaking anonymously to share candid discussions and impressions, say the president’s inability to wholly address the crisis is due to his almost pathological unwillingness to admit error; a positive feedback loop of overly rosy assessments and data from advisers and Fox News; and a penchant for magical thinking that prevented him from fully engaging with the pandemic.”

Had he even pretended to be a leader in any of this we would be having a completely different conversation.

I remember when Hilary had a 98% chance of winning on election day in 2016. Somehow you forgot that.

Also re covid, the media is scrambling as, like I’ve said since day 1: it’s far more widespread and not nearly as lethal as they hoped for. Its, again, lost its luster.

A 98% chance means you still lose 2 times out of 100.

Personally, I hope your right about Covid. We’ll see what happens I suppose. I think everyone is ready for it to be gone at this point.

For the record, I thought Trump was a terrible President before the pandemic. This just exacerbated the problem.

Terrible how? You must be speaking socially and not economically. The guy is a clown on twitter and is “gasp” against abortion but he supercharged the heck out of the economy from multiple angles (not stock market aka inflated indicator). He took it to China economically as well.

Covid is overhype. If we respond to this virus this way, wait until something far more sinister comes along. We will never see sunlight again if that happens. If Biden shockingly wins, covid will “dissipate” by Spring 2021, though.

Hopefully an effective vaccine or treatment can be developed and we can bury it before then.

The guy is a terrible leader all around. I would argue the market was already on track to rise in 2016 and that it has continued to rise in spite of Trump. It’s probably artificially juiced at this point though and I think we will see a big correction sooner or later. We’ll never know regardless. The stock market is also a terrible indicator of how the country is doing when 70% of Americans don’t own any stock.

I don’t care about wedge issues like abortion. It’s just something politicians bring up around election time to get the single issue voters in-line. I don’t mind him going after China but using tariffs to do so is beyond stupid. As a result, we now have soy bean farmers in the Midwest living off of government subsidies.

All of these issues could be handled in a better way. He’s all fluff and no depth. I don’t think he’s this evil mastermind or anything, I just think he’s stupid.

Couple issues here.

Sure the market was increasing in 2016, but Trump did several things that generated additional growth that can't be attributed to Obama. So your comment the growth was in spite of Trump is absolutely incorrect.

The other piece is the alternative. I do think Trump isn't the best leader. I don't think he's done a bad job as president although I wish he would shut down his twitter account. But, when I consider the alternative in voting for Biden and basically the socialist agenda the democrats will try to pass, it makes Trump look like the best president of all time. The policies the democrats are pushing are so radical and extreme left liberal ideological, there isn't a chance I would vote for any democrat anywhere.

Most republicans/conservatives I know feel the same. Happy to admit Trump can be a huge douche, but like the policies he's putting in place and plan to vote for him again because of how far left the democrats have gone.

You can say my comment is incorrect but it’s just an opinion, same as mine. I disagree with you.

Calling Joe Biden a socialist is ridiculous and has no basis in reality. It makes me think that you may not even understand and what Socialism really is. Don’t worry, a lot of people don’t.

The truth is that regardless of who the Democrats put up, you were never going to vote for them. You would call them all radical, socialist, communist, whatever and that’s fine. I get it.

I do look at polls though. I don’t believe they’re always right on the money but when enough of them point a certain way I take notice. It’s not a coincidence that Trump started his Corona briefings again. It’s not a coincidence he started wearing a mask and talking good about them. It’s not a coincidence that he cancelled his convention in Florida.

They know how bad the numbers are and they are trying to salvage it. I’m not the biggest fan of Biden but in my opinion, he is the better option.

Well, I've worked with the markets all my career and I do know a thing or two about them. Your comment about the markets going up in spite of Trump is 100% incorrect. I even added that SOME of the increase is due to what he inherited from Obama. But Trump does get credit for the additional gains he saw from direct actions he took that the markets view as favorable. Denying this is just nonsense and shows you don't really understand.

I don't think Joe Biden is a socialist. I don't think Joe Biden knows his own name at this point. The people he will listen to will be pushing those types of policies. So the policies that Joe is putting out there are different than good old Bernie? Lol. Don't seem to be much distance between the two, honestly.

And literally 90% plus of the polls in 2016 had Hillary winning. I even remember something like she had a 95% chance of winning, until she lost. In addition, when the polls we see plastered all over the MSM only interview 25% Republican, it's hard to take them seriously. Well, that and how wrong the were in 2016. I don't think it's too hard to understand people don't like telling anyone they're Republican. People who are liberal are really excited to tell you. People get shamed for being pro Trump and Republican.

Stock markets do not reflect the state of the economy for the majority of Americans. It literally does not matter to the average American how high they go. It’s just rich getting more rich for the most part. I wonder how much of that rise can be attributed to stock buy backs?

As a numbers guy, you should realize that a 95% chance of anything is no guarantee. Lol

You’re comments on Biden are just stupid at this point. Using terms like MSM doesn’t really put weight behind any argument you make.

Well, roughly 45% of Americans have some sort of retirement plan which undoubtedly includes some stocks. So, being that said, it's important to a lot of people that the markets go up. Also, stock buy backs aren't going to push the overall market up. They push individual stocks up, and I'd argue that it's not a one for one increase either. It's more of a support than it is a driver of an increase in price. I ran the buy back program for a Top 10 fortune 500 company for years. So some buybacks help certain stocks but it's not a main driver of the growth we saw under the Trump administration. Again, just demonstrating you don't really understand how the markets work, which is fine, I'm just trying to help explain it because your comments are inaccurate.

Why are my comments on Biden stupid? Are his proposed policies not very similar to what Bernie wanted? And don't deflect. When polls under represent one of the groups it's naturally not going to be favorable to said group that was underrepresented. Yet, you have the main stream media (better?) pushing those polls without proper context. Sound familiar? I think so...
