Politics Thread

Toss out that accusation is at best wreckless and at worst reputation destroying libel. Has Biden been charged? Convicted? Calling someone a molester is near the worst label place on someone and should never be used callously. If one thing not liking a political party, it is a whole other thing using that label. Do better!

The evidence is staring you in the face!

Lou, mid and their ilk are sick people that have no limit of shame. I don’t agree with a lot of the left on this board, but at least they are civil in their arguments for the most part.

Says the guy who just freaked out about an innocuous address from a lowly football player, but completely ignored an unhinged racist speech from the president - at a commencement address, no less.


"but at least they are civil" - another completely hilarious statement from the most uncivil person in the entire Xavier community. Never forget, Ville is the same guy who made numerous racist comments against numerous Xavier players and coaches. He's the first to throw out haymakers on this board, and then carries permanent vendettas. Now he has the gall to preach about civility. Give me a freaking break!!!

Speaking of commencements, really enjoyed my youngest this weekend at Miami U. Can’t believe how much they have changed since I graduated. Three events in three days.

Now let’s compare the speakers I heard vs Biden’s message.

Miami brought in a 1996 grad who is now CEO at Chipotle. What positive message for recent grads.

A few key points:

- Personal responsibility.
- Be proud of your country and be proud of the United States.
- Thank the people who helped you along the way.
- Stay in touch with friends and professors.
- Write personal letters after interviews not email.
- You will make a difference if you apply yourself. Regardless of the size or scope.

Also the student president did a bang up job. She and the VP were the first black representatives who were elected together. Obviously she was very proud of the fact because they should be. Rest of speech was also inspiring. No excuses or blame.

Now compare listening to Biden. Is this the 1960’s? Where in the hell is the inspiration. Yes, we still have work to do, but why treat people like victims at graduation? I’m sure it wasn’t all doom and gloom but night and day from what I heard from the two speakers.

I barely remember anything about the commencement speaker when I graduated from X. But to your point, one of the best speeches I've heard (albeit dating back to 2014) was from Ed Helms at Cornell. He was the one that played proud Cornell grad Andy Bernard from The Office:

Sounds like a great speech, and actually inspirational which is what a grad speech should be.


Had not seen Biden’s…typical politicking bs. Our political “ leaders” are horrible. We should demand better on both sides.

Your definition of racist and racism is much like everything else you believe or say.

Molestation? What molestation?

So, what's the big deal? Ashley Biden...in a hand written diary...lays out the fact that she frequently showered with her DAD. I guess you don't have an issue with this, but it kinda puts your sanity in question.

However, Grandpa Joe washing her "back" is not the point, right? Right???

It's the absurdity of the MSM that runs endless cover and an obscene propaganda network for the Democrat party.

Again, if this was Tiffany Trump's diary.....it would be an all consuming MSM meltdown. A bigger story than the JFK assassination!

Sez the guy that wanted to "lay pipe" in another poster's MOM, but couldn't work out the logistics.

Man.....just priceless.

So you don’t understand the difference between mom jokes and

1. Calling people child molesters
2. Comparing people to hitler/nazis
3. Accusing fellow posters who were in the Vietnam war of fighting for the vc

That’s a small sampling, but good to know!

MOM jokes?

Incorporating someone's MOM in a pathetic attempt at "humor" would have you with less teeth in my world.

My MOTHER is as precious as it gets fool.
