Yep unfortunately plenty of Lous out there

This is hilarious. Ville, you have no idea how much I laugh at you all the time. You’re wayyyyyy too easy. I love that I live in your head rent free, 24/7/365.

By the way, what kind of "garbage person" would ever say these types of things about their own team:

One of those games where nunge decides to play like a complete pussy

Colby jones you are effing 6'6 stop being a pussy and go up with the ball

This coach and this team are full of pussies.

And I’m sorry I like free but I’m tired of him playing like such a pussy.

Blocked 8 times in a half? Geezus our guys are a punch of pussies who have no clue how to draw a foul

Well the first 4 minutes showed me this team doesnt care about getting embarrassed. Still playing like a bunch of pussies

Crap? Free played like a pussy, it’s not crap when it’s true. He’s soft, most of us have recognized that for a while now.

This is why it is flipping retarded for q to continue to be in the starting lineup and jack up 3s at the beginning of games. He needs to come off the bench, tandy starts and sets a tone. Steele needs to wake the fuck up that the same shit every damn game isnt working. If I see the same starting lineup next game, I'll know Steele doesnt have a damn clue or is too much of a pussy to make a change.

Kunkel and carter....Steeles effing boyfriends

Is your self-esteem so low that you have to stoop to these levels to go after guys who play basketball for your alma mater?

What the fuck is wrong with you, man?

Lol are you that obsessed and such a psycho path that you keep my in game thread comments? That last sentence of yours is ironically hysterical. And yep x played just like their coach mr pussy Steele. Unfortunately some of that bled into this past year at times. Call it like I see it, just like you being a psychopath.


You must have saved all those for when you were going to tell me how wrong I was about steele when he took x to the second weekend. Remember that one, lou? Dipshit.

IDK, there are a lot of Trump supporters out there. One of my neighbors has 6 Trump 2024 flags in his front yard with a sign saying Let’s go Brandon. There are a dozen or so of these houses in my community with pro trump messages. Only one Democratic house with a AOC 2024 flag and two lawn signs saying Dump Trump and a picture of DeSantis with horns saying DeSatan. Luckily these houses are on opposite sides of town. Seems to be the norm when traveling to other towns in the area.

Get the popcorn when Chuck Schumer finally retires - that's when she'll likely make a Senate run and either find herself the next Senator or sitting on the sidelines.

I think you mean refresh the popcorn. I’ve had the popcorn out since Obama took office.

You keep mentioning 'you guys'. Who are you referring to?

I really can't do anything for you if you truly think political/social grifting is an exclusive republican problem.

I'm referring to Republicans who nominated Trump, and may do so again. Maybe you aren't one of them? If so, you should ignore the comment.
I asked you to name Democrats like Trump, and Brannon, who were indicted for grifting. You didn't give me one.

No Paul, this is the question you asked: "Seriously, this seems to be a conservative playbook; are there any similar liberal rip-offs?"

Plenty of liberal rip-offs were named. Liberal organizations who were run by sexual predators like the Lincoln Project (maybe you're okay that kind of thing?). Liberal organizations like BLM who feasted on vulnerable citizens looking for social justice, and used that money to live lavish lifestyles and are now on the verge of bankruptcy. The leader of BLM has since resigned to work on her book deal and movie deal with Warner Bros...LOL Suckers! I try to look at these types of things from more of a morality perspective and not whether or not someone was specifically indicted. Perhaps you don't see anything wrong with what the Lincoln Project or BLM did and that's certainly your prerogative, but definitively lands you in the 'party over everything else camp'

If you want to go directly down the 'were they arrested" path?": Take a look at the grift TJ Cox in California ran to soak investors. How about Karen Peterson, the Chairman of the Democratic party in Louisiana who defrauded the state Democratic party to support her gambling addiction. There are literally hundreds of examples of Dem/Liberals defrauding the American people...just as their Republican counterparts have done. So you answer your question: Yes, there are plenty of Liberal rip-offs we can discuss. Hopefully this provided the clarity you are seeking.

And, to add to the “BLM Grift”, Warner Brothers just canceled the deal with Cullors. She got paid and produced nothing. Exactly like Lincoln Project grifter Rick Wilson who did a Go Fund Me, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from Dem donors ostensibly to produce a movie about Trump corruption, never produced anything, kept the money and paid off his back taxes.
Plus, let’s add to the list of Corrupt Democrats:

Corrine Brown
Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida was indicted in July 2016 on charges of fraud in a case related to an education charity and was ousted in a Democratic primary the following month.
A federal jury convicted Brown in 2017. Trial evidence showed that Brown and others solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable donations “based on false representations” that the money would be used for school computer drives and college scholarships, among other causes, according to the department. She received a five-year prison sentence.

Bob Menendez
Sen. Bob Menendez in 2015 was indicted on charges that campaign contributions, trips and accommodations provided by a Florida eye specialist were bribes to get the senator’s help in battles over Medicare reimbursement.
The New Jersey Democrat vowed to fight the charges and said he was confident “at the end of the day I will be vindicated.”
After a jury could not reach a verdict in 2017, the judge acquitted the senator in January 2018 on the most serious charges and the Justice Department later dropped the rest. Menendez was "severely adomonished" by the Senate Ethics Committee over the gifts in April 2018 but went on to win reelection that year by more than 11 points.
The eye specialist was convicted of Medicare fraud in a separate case.

MOR INSERT: You know that if Menendez was tried in any other state than the corrupt Northeast, he would have been convicted and not Re-elected. I’m sure there was no jury tampering in that case in New Jersey, right?

Chaka Fattah
Democratic Rep. Chaka Fattah of Pennsylvania and his associates were indicted in 2015 for their parts in a “racketeering conspiracy,” according to a Justice Department news release.
In June 2016, a federal jury found Fattah guilty in the case, and he resigned his seat, though he had already lost a primary in which he was seeking another term. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, then resentenced in 2019 after an appellate court ruling, according to the Justice Department.

Seems as if grifting & corruption runs in both parties, but in Paul’s blue glassed eyes, it’s only one direction?

Speaking more on grifts from the left…https://nypost.com/2023/05/27/only-3...y-foundations/

BLM stands for “Buy Large Mansions”.

Yeah both parties have their fair share. From Duncan Loverboy Hunter to William “Cold Cash” Jefferson. Definitely no monopoly here for corrupt politicians.
