    It's probably falling on deaf ears here in the Real Housewifes of Covers forum. These guys couldn't give to sh*ts about the sporting life. Too busy bickering around the cauldron.

    I'm not. And cards on the table, I don't think you are either. If you think about it, I really only bicker about how full of sh*t people are. I really don't give people much guff for their beliefs and opinions, it's more for how matter of fact they are. "Nope! Nope, it's definitely blah, blah, blah. You're all stupid. You're all dumocrats, libtards, piglets, ect."

    It's f*cking ridiculous. To your credit, Slim, you don't post that way. You give an opinion. You back it up with pertinent and credible facts to support thaf opinion. Drop a  one-liner here or there and out. Your posts tend to be free of bullsh*t and that's why you're one of the peeps I respect most here.

    ...but I stand by my original statement. Scal comes into the Politics forum and drops a link, that while pertaining to politics, also pertains to....wait for it.. gambling! On a sports handicapping related website, no less. What a novel concept, right? Most people, if you are a member of the covers family, you would figure most people would have some interest in the contents of said article but I doubt many do. I doubt if many people in this forum come to this site for anything other than the political forum. And many of those don't add anything of value. Ridiculous @ss statements and name calling. And if you're a grown man that comes on a site like covers just to cackle around a cauldron like some kind of coven, yeah, i'm gonna call you a real housewife. I don't feel thaf way about all posters. Take brother sundance. I give him shit about Alex Jones but at the end of the day, it's all love. I realize it's his prerogative to support whom ever be wants. There's a lot of guys I respect and get along with in this forum that i'm not calling out. The guys i'm calling out know who they are.

    When you  break it down like above ..no problem...however ..when you say ..These guys...you make it all inclusive..

    Side note:  Maybe many of the political posters do not want to comment to one of Scalbrine's threads.. as they still remember his failed BS predictions of political events in the past  ..and his arguing about how he is correct ,even after the outcome has proven him to be wrong..

    Hey, if the shoe fits, ya know? The guys in here I respect know who they are. And in all seriousness, there are probably more that I do than that I don't but it doesn't change the fact that we can sound like a bunch of puffs sometimes. Another analogy i've used is it's like two gangs arguing except it's the Sharks and the Jets from WestSide Story. Everybody sticking their chest out and acting all bad when really they're just singing f*cking show tunes, snapping their fingers and doing pirouettes. So while the comment was in jest, I meant every word of it and stand by it.

    Slim, you just can’t help yourself now can you.

    Trump won by 80,000 votes in 3 states after a Comey letter (SIGNFICANT drop off in support for Hillary after the release of that letter) and the DNNC literally sabotaging a guy who was up by 10 points on Trump head to head.

    That is why it is the height of hilarity when Trump goes after Comey. He WON him the election. Literally. He should be on his knees for him. Deep state is right. FOR Trump, not against him...

    This is not debatable. 

    Everything that could have gone wrong DID go wrong and Trump won the electoral college vote out of 130 million+ votes cast by a margin smaller than those who attended Penn State OSU. 

    And you leave the empirical evidence of that fact with a “Well a win is a win!” That is why you LOSE at betting. A win is NOT a win when it leads to greater losses that you don’t see coming. Which it will. In the mid terms and in 2020.

    It is why the sites long-time best poster in Vanzack endorsed Hillary at virtually every odd level imaginable as did I.

    Or do you think Kris Kobach is still out there GATHERING evidence on the laughable, 3 MILLION ILLEGAL VOTES!!

    It was an upset that fell into the lap of Trump supporters and bettors. 

    Sometimes the ball gets through Buckner and the Mets win.

    Enjoy it for two more years.

    And you are right Stu, no one does care! The GOP is breathing down the neck of legalized gambling and nary a word of interest outside of yourself can be found...such is life on Covers.

    Scalbrine,nice soliloquy..

    But,backing Hillary is not what I had in mind..since I cannot remember you ever posting anything in this forum regarding the 2016 presidential election..

    I was referring more to your threads... like the Georgia 6th Congressional special election in 2017....Handel vs. Ossoff...remember that one ?

    Scal I don't understand how you can be so confident Trump won't win reelection.  Since 1900 only 4 incumbents didn't win.  Not counting Ford because he didn't win an election.  Three didn't win because of either a depression or recession.  Only Taft didn't win because of his soured relationship with Roosevelt.  You need a recession, so get ready to cut your nose to ...........

    As long as he keeps the base which he is it's another 6 years.  The founding fathers wanted to give the President 8 years as it should be.  Tough to accomplish anything in 4 years and then have to completely redo the cabinet etc.,  To be fair you can't have that strong of an opinion of a President after two years like you do, it's all personal like your're having lunch with him tomorrow.

    No, the founding fathers did not limit a president to two terms. 

    "Passed by Congress in 1947, and ratified by the states on February 27, 1951, the Twenty-Second Amendment limits an elected president to two terms in office, a total of eight years."

    Day after election. The shock of losing the house and narrowly having control of the senate republicans are stopped from passing laws.... the looming shut down in site and no one ready to even talk Christmas without the unnecessary part of the government..... trump expressed has completely derailed. As the White House begins to enact one executive action after the next... oh well Patriots are going to playoffs.
