This flippin Transfer Portal crap is getting out of hand...  they need to completely rethink it and overhaul it

With about 700 kids already in the portal I tend to agree with you. I'm not against the transfers but it's the quick turn leniency that the NCAA is granting that is the issue with me. The kids made a commitment. There should be some penalty for them stiffing the schools they committed to. If they want to be treated as adults then act like one when it comes to signing your name. If not then sit for a year an take the penalty for going against your word.  This is directed more at the underclassmen rather than the grad transfers.

It is their futures. If they realize the school is a bad fit for the., why hinder them from going to a better one?

The Commander-in-Pettiness strikes again:

White House Wanted USS John McCain ‘Out of Sight’ During Trump Japan Visit
The White House wanted the Navy to move a warship named for the late Sen. John McCain—a frequent target of President Trump’s ire—and his father and grandfather ahead of the president’s visit to Japan.

Prove it.

Kiid becomes more of a cartoon with each passing day.

Trump denies it, so naturally that calls the news report into question.  Not like a history of lying on a daily basis should lead anyone to think the exact opposite.

Actually Trump has admitted it happened, he just passed the blame off on an unidentified officious interloper. "They were well-meaning, I will say."

No evidence of a larger conspiracy

- which is what many of you stood by all along.

Just repeating something a second time does not make it any less wrong.

Mueller today: The first volume of the report details numerous efforts emanating from Russia to influence the election. This volume includes a discussion of the Trump campaign's response to this activity as well as our conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy.

Insufficient evidence is not no evidence. 

Well done

Could not say whether a crime was/was not committed (NOT 100% CLEARED but couldn't be charged anyway)

Did say there was no broader conspiracy (CLEARED)

No, did not say that.

Said "insufficienet evidence to prove..." If he'd cleared it, he would have said he cleared it. NOWHERE does he say "there was no conspracy.

If aprosecutor cannot indict then the person under investigation is presumed innocent.
AS he or she is before any investigation.  Most kids learn that in High School.

Most people.also learn that the presumption of innocence only applies in criminal cases in court. Nowhere else. Not, for instance, an impeachment inquiry, a congressional investigation or an internet dis ussion.

LOL.
No conclusion in this discussion was as off-the-mark as that one.

Glad you can finally admit that.one of your comments was off the mark.

At the top of the issue, I think there is a problem with saying he was "cleared" when there is documented evidence pointing toward conspiracy,

No evidence of guilt. None. Mueller said so. No Collusion. Case over.

Wow.  How many times does the difference between "insufficient" and "no" have to be pointed out to you. I never thought you were that stupid.

Troll gonna troll.

True, but I happen to agree with him about Buckner's treatment. It's just less uncommon than he would have us believe.

Most people think Buckner was unfairly scape-goated.

But the troll looks for any excuse to exercise his sick obssession.

In this case he is using and abusing Buckner to satisfy his disease.

The troll's pathetic.

Billy did choke.  This is not to be debated.  The issue is how he was initially treated.

Like BARTMAN, I'd say.

Sad.

He had to move his family from Boston. Very sad.

Even Ralph Branca didn't have to leave NY.

But we are getting the soft peddling of the abuse he suffered from the usual source of all lies here.

Says the fan from the city that pelted Santa Claus with snowballs.

Says the idiot whose small-town, small-time, and miniature-minded fans caused their team to forfeit after rioting on ten cent beer night.

Those were Rangers.fans.

We could talk about Dick Allen if you want. But this is the point: Some fans of every team are ignorant assholes. Sometimes, for every team, en masse. Which is why it makes no fucking sense at all to seriously criticize one team's set of fans for behaving the same way your team's fans do.

That anyone had to "make up with" Buckner is the sad part.

I agree with this.

Yeah, it is not like he's Jose "Useless Pile of Horse.Excrement" Mesa, or something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_glacial_retreat

The Holocene glacial retreat is a geographical phenomenon that involved the global deglaciation of glaciers that previously had advanced during the Last Glacial Maximum. Ice sheet retreat initiated ca. 19,000 years ago and accelerated after ca. 15,000 years ago. The Holocene, starting with abrupt warming 11,700 years ago, resulted in rapid melting of the remaining ice sheets of North America and Europe. The retreat of glaciers altered landscapes in many ways and is currently still acting as a result of climate change.

#####

Well there you go.

If only you could understand what you quote.

LOL

Yes climate change that started 15,000 to 19,000 years ago...my petrol-driven car was not on the road then.
The industrial revolution wasn't even invented, nor were the coal-fired power stations providing my electricity.

Someone tell the kiddies in Israel etc protesting 'climate change'.

That's not what it says, Bambi-ignorance.

It says that the retreating glaciers today are because of climate change - the type you deny.

But you can't even admit that you misread it. You used to be able to grant when you got stuff wrong, but not anymore.

It does say that retreating glaciers are because of climate change...climate change that happened all by itself 15,000 years ago...and continues today, all by itself, just like it did before.
Like the globe that heats up by itself and cools down by itself.

Goods news...bambu-ilk won't be made buy electric cars now...Conservatives won 'the unwinnable election'.
Buying electric cars will be optional...as it always should be.

Forcing people to buy electric cars is oh so "Nazi Germany".
We the People downunder are forced to vote...that's bad enough.

Nearly $400 billion in extra taxes Leftist Labor was going to introduce.
. Death/inheritance tax
. Increased taxes on people's superannuation savings
. Increased taxes on investors who own rental properties...people renting would've seen their rents rise.
. Increased taxes on self-funded retirees who have shares as investment...loss of income for folks who worked hard all their lives and saved.
. Close down all coal-fired power stations..."coal is evil".."coal to be replaced by renewables"...."100% renewables".
. 50% reduction in emissions target by 2030 or whatever.
. etc.
And "redistribute the wealth", "class warfare", "gender warfare" ['50% women, sack men and give women their jobs'] they were all about.
Also use the taxes for 'climate change'.

Leftist Labor proposed Treasurer said;
"We make no apologies for these policies of ours...if you don't like it, vote for someone else".
So the people did...voted for someone else!  LOL
Yes, Bill Shorten/Leftist Labor lost the 'unlosable election'...much like HRC and co did.

EXCELLENT post, sir.

As sure as stink follows shit.

The forumites who would learn most from your income inequality links are the ones least likely to read them.  Right now in America, few are turning off their filters.  I can remember a conservative relative who subscribed to Mother Jones, just so he could get a different side.  That's a vanishing breed.

Based on what?

Clearly, you.
