Since the Constitution does not specifically say that a president has to be removed if they lose an election, then as strict constitutionalists, we must conclude that our founding fathers did not intend for a President to ever be removed. Thus logically we rule in favor of President Trump being President for life. Sincerely, Justices Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Roberts12 points

Hey guys. Trump has a secret super duper cheap healthcare plan that he won’t tell us about until after the election. Again. If you vote for this moron you should have to wear a sticker that says “I have a sub-80 IQ”.9 points

Hell yes my guy. We need someone in here to represent the most centrist of the centrists who have ever been in the center. You know what we have? Problems. And you know what we need? Solutions. What kind of solutions? Good ones. We need to do good and not do bad. We need to take a careful look at all the facts and decide. But before we decide we need to look at both sides. And once we do all this we have to find the solution that is most in the middle. For everyone.7 points

My dad wrote this piece for Barking Carnival a couple of days ago. Enjoy: https://www.barkingcarnival.com/platform/amp/2019/3/29/18287331/1978-nit-abe-lemons-texas-take-manhattan I haven’t paid much attention to any NIT game that didn’t have Texas in it, but I must admit I did watch the North Carolina St. – Lipscomb contest. I was pulling for N.C. State since a Wolfpack win might have given us a “Time is a Flat Circle” ending for this year’s tournament. 41 years ago, Texas ran past N.C. State 101-93 to win the 1978 NIT Championship. It was a big deal back then, and it was an entertaining run, thanks to an iconic coach and a grab bag group of players who loved playing for him. Leon Black, as decent a man as you will find, was the coach for Texas in the mid-70’s. He got tired of programs playing fast and loose with the rules. When he turned in Texas A&M for recruiting violations, he was outed (he readily admitted to it) and was vilified as a snitch. Black decided that he would quit coaching and let Darrell Royal hire someone to take Texas into the next phase of the program as the new Erwin Center was close to completion. Royal hired Abe Lemons, known for winning at smaller programs and for being the most quotable coach in the game. Abe danced to the beat of his own drummer. Lemons was coaching down in Edinburg at Pan-American when Royal called to offer the job. Abe returned the call from a truck stop in Oklahoma. Lemons first road game as the Texas coach was another example of his style. The Horns were visiting Mississippi State. The host Bulldogs were given a technical foul for a player dunking during warm-ups. Abe hated the rule, so instructed Jim Krivacs – a 90% free throw shooter, to try them with his back to the basket. Texas lost 91-89. “Where? In the State?” (Abe when asked if his 2nd team had Top 20 potential) Texas ended that first season with a 13-13 mark, but Leon Black left Abe 3 players he believed in and Abe added two more to head into the 1977-78 campaign. It was an interesting mix of players. They consisted of a true NBA point guard, a 6-7 center and three guys who looked like they made the wrong turn on their way to a YMCA 3-on-3 tournament. Johnny Moore, Jr. Guard – Moore arrived on campus as a skinny 17-year old from Altoona PA. He was headed to Providence when Black saw him at the Dapper Dan Classic and offered. Moore grew 2 inches and gained 15 pounds his first year on campus as he started every game of his 4-year career. Abe turned him into a point guard (Moore was reluctant at first) and he was a five-tool player. He and T.J. Ford are the two best guards I have ever seen in the burnt orange & white. Jim Krivacs, Jr. Guard – Krivacs transferred in from Auburn with 3 years of eligibility. An Indiana HS gym rat, Krivacs was in “go mode” stepping across mid-court, and that was just fine with Abe. Krivacs scored 1,673 points at Texas and there is little doubt that if the 3-point line had been in place he would at or near the top of all-time scorers for the program. Krivacs, a Southport Ind. native, in is the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. Gary Goodner, Sr. Center – 6-7 enforcer, looked like a TE/H-back of today and was just as physical. Abe would post him out well above the circle to screen and pass to other players. Great rebounder. Abe brought in a couple of players from California, who didn’t exactly look the part. Ron Baxter, Soph. Forward – Ron, listed at 6-5, 205 ( a weight he had last seen about the age of 14) was from Los Angeles (Dorsey HS). Baxter used his frame to punish inside (916 rebound) and averaged double figures in points each of his 4 seasons. He was a helluva lot quicker than his size would predict and was a terror on the press. Tyrone Branyan, Jr. Forward – A 6-7, 220 transfer from Cali with the name of Tyrone might conjure up an image that did not fit reality. Lemons offered him a schollie sight unseen. He had been recommended by a former college teammate of Royal’s. Abe contacted Branyan’s JC Coach who gave him a glowing report. Only after offering did Abe send Asst. Coach Barry Dowd out to see him play. Dowd called in and Abe said, “Well?” Dowd responded. “Picture a pasty-faced kid with a roll of baby fat who looks like he has never seen the sun. He can’t run. He can’t jump. He releases his shot at chest level.” Abe had a few choice words and then Dowd responded, “Now picture him with 24 points, 17 rebounds and the MVP trophy from the championship game.” Branyan shows up and Dowd was true to his word. It took Tyrone all of pre-season and several games to into “game” shape. I was Sports Director at KTBC-TV and had season tickets. My then-child bride was a big basketball fan and while I was on press row, she was getting an earful from a loud fan behind her who thought Tyrone had broken several “truth in advertising” laws. Every time Ty would make a mistake, he would bellow his displeasure. Betsy had enough. When Tyrone finally made a play, she stood up, cheered, turn around, glared at the offending fan and said, “He’s my brother1” “I play my regulars; the only way a guy gets off the floor is if he dies.” Funny Line. Only Abe wasn’t kidding. That team averaged 84 points a game, and the starting five accounted for 75. They shot 49% from the field and 79% from the line. After an opening loss at Southern Cal, the Horns won 16 out of their next 17 games with the one loss being to #5 Marquette. They split with #2 Arkansas and tied with the Razorbacks for the title with 14-2 marks. Back then the SWC post-season really mattered, since the NCAA only took 32 teams into the tournament. ”It was the toughest seven-man zone we faced all year.” The SWC was expected to get only two teams into the NCAA’s. Arkansas, a Top 10 team all season, was a lock. Texas needed to at least get to the finals against Arkansas to seal up a bid. They faced Houston in the semis, and it was a bitter contest that believe it or not, had both coaches bitching at the refs about calls. Finally, Abe had enough. As the head ref passed the bench, he gave him the universal choke sign, and he was tossed. Houston won 92-90 and got the automatic berth. Houston was blown out by Notre Dame 100-77 in the first round of the NCAA’s. After Texas won the NIT Lemons joked that maybe he should send the ref from the SWC tournament game a basket of fruit to thank him for not sending Texas to that fate. “When the other team sees our guys, they’re so busy giggling they can’t play,” The video of the championship game against N.C. State is posted below. It is worth the look for so many reasons, not the least of which are the commercials. But take a look at the introduction of the starting lineups. The Wolfpack players look the part, and Texas, well, looked like Texas. I saw this repeated time after time that year. Teams would come out for the tip, take a look at Texas and you could see wheels spinning in their minds. “We got this.” Until the ball went up. Texas cruised through the first two rounds of the NIT with home wins over Temple and Nebraska by a combined 33 points. Then it was on to New York where the Horns would play Rutgers while Georgetown and North Carolina State met in the other semifinal. ”We were living on $15 a day in New York, if you can believe that. Two eggs a la carte were $6.95. Nothing with them. So, I called the waiter over and asked to see the chicken. ‘What for?’ he asks. I told him I wanted to see the chicken that lays $6.95 eggs.” (Abe on the high cost of living in the big city) Over 18,500 were in Madison Square Garden for the Semis. Clyde Austin hit a 35-foot desperation heave at the buzzer in overtime to moved N.C. State past Georgetown 86-85. Texas meanwhile manhandled Rutgers 96-76. Krivacs & Baxter combined to hit 14-18 from the field in the first half as the Horns shot 57% for the game. In the championship contest, that duo combined for 59 points as Texas was never really challenged after jumping out to a 14-5 lead. As you may have noticed I haven’t spent a lot of time on particular games from this season. Didn’t see the point, since the team was so much more interesting. One final story. The four squads were going through media day/practice in Madison Square Garden. Georgetown’s John Thompson was standing with Abe, watching Texas go through some drills. Thompson (pointing at Baxter): “Who’s the fat kid?” Lemons: “My best player.” Thompson: “I assumed it was either that or he is your bastard son.” “Finish last in your league and they call you an idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you Doctor.” Winning is good. You keep score for a reason. But the older I get, scores fade into the background. Plays and players stand out. Memories matter. Relationship matters. I saw Ron Baxter just last week at the Johnny “Lam” Jones memorial service. I have to say Ron is closer to his playing weight than 90% of those in attendance. We didn’t spend more than 2 or 3 minutes talking but both of us were smiling the whole time. We don’t see each other except in an occasional social situation. But there is an instant connection just because of shared experiences, and isn’t that what sports is all about?6 points

RW is from Lawndale. Most of the gangs down there are Hispanic. Not the same as the violence in South Central. I think he is paying homage to a guy who he had a lot of respect for. It's just that if you are from low income LA you know what hoods fly what colors, and you learn how to decipher what things really mean. Your life depends on that knowledge. Hyde Park/Creshaw fly the Seatle Mariners. The S is for 60. They also fly under the neighborhood banner, so they are in alliance with all the other NHC's. However, once you go east and hit Western that's the Eight Tray Gangster's turf. They fly Georgetown with the G standing for Gangster. If some of you older guys remember a book called Monster wreitten by a gang banger back in the day that depicted the life of a gangster, he was one of these. If you find yourself somewhere near 52nd street in LA, don't compliment a guy on his Astros shirt or jersey. He will likely be a 52nd Street Hoover Gangster Crip. They fly the Astros colors and the H is for Hoover. Schoolboy Q(the rapper) is one of these. People see Snoop with his little football team in Pittsburgh colors, him wearing Pittsburgh gear all the time, and think he really loves the Steelers. Nope. Those are the colors of the LBC Rolling 20's crips. Snoop has been claiming his gang on national TV for decades and most of America had no idea. Lol. Back in the day Tupac made a song called Money Over Bitches. Most people thought it was just a song about women. M.O.B. is the acronym for MOB pirus, which is the gang that Suge Night belonged to and Tupac had been claiming. You have to be careful wearing any sports gear in LA. In fact, it's why NWA wore black. It's also the reason that to this day, I don't own or wear a single pro sports anything.6 points

I can't stop thinking about Trump debating Mayor Pete. There is no way he could stop himself from calling Pete a fag. "So look, we all know that there are some good people like Mayor Pete, some very fine people, but do you really want a guy who (makes a dainty hand gesture) talking to Putin? And listen, it's not Pete's fault that he's (smirking) a little light in the loafers, but it reminds me of when I was dating Cheryl Tiegs in 1981, beautiful woman by the way, just gorgeous, and she had friends like Pete over here and I really didn't have any problem with those fags, but come on, let's be honest, you can't have that in the White House."6 points

Speaking as a Christian... Set the wayback machine to about... oh, 8 centuries ago. A Franciscan Friar, William of Rubruck, is sent by the Pope to meet this Mongolian "Great Khan" that had been terrorizing all of Asia and Eastern Europe, because some Nestorian Christian ambassadors from the Mongol Empire had essentially told them that the Great Khan was ready to convert to Christianity. In reality, the ambassadors were letting the Great Khan's tolerance of all religions mislead them into thinking this way. And in reality, the Friar was sent as a spy. The Great Khan, Möngke, already knew -- the Mongolians had the best, fastest communications system in the world at the time -- that the Friar had been sent as a spy, already knew Christian teachings well, and already knew very well all about the King who'd sent him. After teasing him relentlessly for a long time after the long journey, in his final audience with the Friar he said, "You Christians have commandments, but you do not follow them. When our Shamans tell us to do something, we do it." And then, sent him home. Christianity of today -- like then -- needs to be practiced more than defended. No Christian can see any OP's "examples" and say that this is an attack on Christianity. You should see -- as I do -- that these characters are villains, pure and simple. It's attacking hypocrisy, greed, lust, rape -- all the things that God Himself commanded us not to do, and yet not only do we do these things, we defend and support those who do. Look at the Catholic Church hiding child rapists; look at American Evangelicals defending Donald Trump. If your heart is right with God, then you would see these so-called "Christians" in the media as the villains they are. They are not merely villains to Hollywood, they are villains to Christ. So, in short, get off yer high horse and stop defending this behavior. Stop supporting people who rape and tear apart families and cheat on their wives and brag about it. My God... someone actually had the President sign their Bible. Can you not see how twisted and perverse that is? This man... signing the Word of God? A book he hasn't bothered to read and wouldn't follow even if he did?6 points

John McCain was a POW in the Hanoi Hilton and Trump still made fun of him and nearly the entire Republican base laughed right along with him. 7 months of desk work in Afghanistan isn't going to phase Donald. Pete could come out with a necklace of Hajji ears and Donald wouldn't be phased. "Oh, look, this little guy sat behind a desk for a week and wants everyone to think he's General Patton!" *air horns* *Trump does mocking salute* *crowd goes wild* "You know, folks, I was hoping goofy Beto would be up here with his arms flailing around or Crazy Bernie (who the Democrats were very unfair to, very unfair) or POCAHONTAS (we call her Pocahontas because she pretends to be Native American and we love the Native Americans). But this guy? This little Patton? Believe me, folks, the generals will have no respect for him. No respect. You know it, and I know it."4 points

People will come, Ray. They’ll come to Vegas for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn into the MGM, not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at the door, as innocent as children, longing for the past. “Of course, we won’t mind if you listen,” you’ll say, “It’s only $180 per person.” And they’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk off to their seats and sit in their Hawaiian shirts on a perfect evening. And find they have reserved seats somewhere in the nosebleeds where they sat when they were children. And cheer their heroes. And they’ll watch the concert, and it’ll be as they’d dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Ray. The one constant through all the years Ray, has been pop rock. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But pop rock has marked the time. This band is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.4 points

Why? Do you seriously think The Hangover isn't a good movie? I would argue that good comedy is harder to pull off than good drama. Just because someone directs comedies doesn't mean they can't get it done in another genre.

Really ? That's what they've done ? I'd say they've given maps, text notifications, exact pick up locations, illuminated signs, vehicle and driver info, you can even pick the level of car service from basic to luxury, All of these things give them data to verify so they can get into the correct vehicle.

Yes, what a wonderful leader. Her government has an official position called Chief Censor. Her government is threatening anyone with the shooter's manifesto on their hard drive with ten years in prison. Her government is threatening anyone who posts the manifesto on the internet with fourteen years in prison. Just last year her government was promoting legislation forcing visitors to New Zealand to give their cell phone passwords to customs officials as a condition to enter the country. She just finished taking guns out of thousands of gun owners hands who had done nothing illegal with them simply because one nut job did something illegal with theirs. What a wonderful beacon for individual freedom and freedom of expression. You jackasses deserve the dictator you are begging for. None of you leftists understand that the more power you give government the more ability you give government to misuse and abuse that power and the less power you have to do anything about it.4 points
