The Democratic Convention! Day 2 • Aug 23, 2020 12:40 PM

Half of the RNC speakers are going to be Trumps lmao.

But hey, where is Hunter, am I right?

Lmao Steve Bannon.

Damn near every advisor to that 2016 campaign is going to have spent time in jail.

This is hysterical!! How many more people close to Trump have to go to prison before it clicks?

Room on the White Sox bandwagon? • Aug 16, 2020 04:15 PM

2022 Royals should be able to contend if ownership is willing to spend and get some free agent pitching in to help.

Possible Bubble Basketball in KC for 20/21 • Aug 07, 2020 05:36 PM

It would be nice... but the problem is the length of time to be in the bubble. Will have to completely change the schedule imo

Kansas Senate Race • Aug 01, 2020 12:41 PM

Please just anyone but Kobach.

I think Marshall wins. I really do. And then I think the senate race will poll right and he will end up winning pretty handily.

A Kobach win is a disaster scenario for GOP imo.

Let's Cancel Cancel "Cancel Culture"! • Jul 23, 2020 04:18 AM

What ideals remain in the Republican party that a true conservative still believes?

Fiscal responsibility? I haven't seen any the past two Republican presidents despite both being left a balanced budget.

First amendment crusaders? See Nike, the NFL, HBO etc. Cancel Culture is on both sides and it is silly to think otherwise. The President himself attacks free press almost daily. The left is more aggressive about it. But my dad a Chiefs fan of 55 years won't watch Football this year. So don't tell me the right isn't petty. I've never seen more people simultaneously argue that private companies can tell you to do whatever you want and then throw a hissy fit when private companies tell them what they can and can't do. "THEY CAN'T MAKE ME WEAR A MASK AT THE GROCERY STORE THATS A FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATION." And Also same person: "IT IS OKAY TO REFUSE SERVICE TO GAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE GAY. THAT"S A PRIVATE BUSINESS."

Small government? Last I saw, Federal LEOs have just been sent to a dozen cities across the U.S. and protesters were illegally detained in Portland.

I mean what cornerstone of conservatism is actually left in the Republican party? I am way more conservative than I would get credit for here. I voted Republican up until Trump. But those traits are non-existent in the Republican party anymore.

So am I surprised people defending beliefs that their own party doesn't even stand for are self-censoring? Nope. It is hard to have a discussion when your position is indefensible.

The NCAA Belongs on Probation... • Jul 20, 2020 12:47 PM

At some point this is on Bill. All of us here knew Preston and Diallo were giant red flags.

I’m not saying he should be fired, but he knew better. And then it just so happens he took some of his sketchiest guys in the midst of an FBI investigation. Call it bad luck. Call it whatever you want. Bill took risky guys and it blew up in his face.

Chiefs are world champs • Jul 14, 2020 10:00 PM

I was at my parents for the Texans game and I almost just went home because I was having to be polite when I just wanted to scream

Chiefs are world champs • Jul 14, 2020 09:19 PM

20 of 22 starters coming back. Added a RB and a LB.

Looking good

My point is just that people will still just call it the sprint center because it was named that first.

I know about the merger.

I know why people accept millions of dollars for meaningless naming rights to complexes.

Just feel like I need to clear that up, apparently.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in T-Mobile Center taking over for Sprint Center in downtown KCMO:

@Kcmatt7 You do know the name change is because T-Mobile bought Sprint right?

I do. Yes.

@Kcmatt7 said in The "crap on Trump" thread:

Trump squeaks it out at best. No landslide possible. Biden is closing in on a sure victory. One swing state and Biden wins. Potential for Trump to lose in embarrassing fashion.

Just the way the polls look. Not my opinion in any way. It looks like the most Trump could get is 316. His margin for error is tiny. Biden has the potential to 378 with current polls the way they look.

Trump has taken a nosedive in the polls. He will need a repeat of 2016 to win. And I just don’t think he has that same momentum. People HATED Clinton. I don’t think there is the same hate for Biden...

Biden has enough skeletons in his closet and is going up against someone that will ruthlessly exploit those skeletons when campaign season starts. Plus Biden still has to make through debates with Trump as well and since he isn't very eloquent either, debate season could be a gold mine of outrageous sound bites from both Trump and Biden. This is the year for the Libertarian and Green Parties to open up their wallets to promote their candidates strongly and try to get them included in the debates this fall.

Sure. A long ways to go.

But as of today it still looks like Trumps margin for error is razor thin. It was razor thin 4 years ago and he pulled it off.

I don’t agree on the third party this year. I did 4 years ago (voted Johnson myself).

I don’t fault the city for taking money. I think it’s stupid to be the 2nd name. I’m looking at it from a marketing perspective not a city perspective.

The Sprint Center loses the city money no doubt. The entire idea behind it was to get a pro team and drive business there another 50X a year.

But the problem is the company that runs it would lose money if there was a pro sports team. Concerts are more profitable for them.

Entire deal was horribly executed.

This is why naming rights are stupid.

Unless you’re the first, nobody is calling it right.

If I asked you where the Hy-bee arena was you’d have to google it. (It’s Kempers name).

So Zion was paid 400k? Does anyone know if this story is legit?

Sounds like this is not true from what I’ve read. Zions lawyers are arguing it is forgery and that they have a pattern of forgery.

His argument, without seeing any of the documentation, sounds legit. I.e. signatures don’t match. Just the signature part is pixilated more than the rest of the documents, etc.

Sounds like a desperate attempt by the marketing agency. They would have had this evidence sooner.

Pretty sure we aren’t going to have college football this year.

How would you not hire some of the people involved to help you run a race at this point?

I doubt it. They’re all Republican firms. So unless they change their minds on all sorts of issues, Democrats would catch holy hell for hiring them instead of a Democratic firm. It’s also highly irregular for a PAC to funnel almost all its contributions into a firm owned by one of its founders. Very scam PAC-y.

I mean... couldn’t they help republicans run the next cycle?

Clear what kind of interest they can drum up and damage they can do.

Better than Bob Hamilton ads to say the least.

Any Regrets Nebr., Missou & TxAM? • Jul 07, 2020 01:28 PM

Yea A&M got in the good side of the SEC and now their value is rocketed. Just look at the coaches they are able attract. Stole two solid coaches straight from ACC schools.

This is what Mizzou thought they’d be able to do lol.

Any Regrets Nebr., Missou & TxAM? • Jul 07, 2020 11:24 AM

I just think Colorado fits with the PAC 12.

And I could see them like the time zone setup better.

Any Regrets Nebr., Missou & TxAM? • Jul 06, 2020 06:35 PM

I think Mizzou and Nebraska regret it.

But not Colorado or A&M.

I’ll be shocked if we have college sports this year.

Cops couldn’t enforce it. There would be too many tickets to write and at least half of them think it’s a hoax and wouldn’t even write those tickets if they were allowed to.

You’d have to put a quota on mask tickets to write to even get them to.

Crabs and spaghetti tonight. Leftovers tomorrow. Tacos Tuesday. BLTS Wednesday. Stuffed chicken Thursday. Doing a shrimp boil Friday. Steak on Saturday.

Looks fantastic! @approxinfinity

How can I make squash edible? • Jun 28, 2020 01:49 PM

You can stuff them. Some recipes call for boil but I prefer to cut in have first and then roast them.

Then pull it out and scoop the squash and add it to a mixture. Could be something as simple as bacon cheese breadcrumbs salt and pepper.

Bake again for a bit.

Another things, don’t forget you can deep fry just about anything and it taste good 😂

Go get a vegetable spiralizer and you can make “noodles” out of them too. I really like doing this which zucchini but yellow squash could work too. Eat with a shrimp and lemon-garlic sauce and it is delicious.

I’m honestly shocked how much press this has gotten.

Breaking news: Asshole kid says asshole thing.

No he shouldn’t be expelled. He should have to show his face every day on that campus. Don’t give him (and he’s already trying to do this) a sap story where he is the victim. Make him explain this tweet in every job interview he will have.

@justanotherfan said in Stock picks:

I like some industries that are down right now (mostly entertainment and hotel/vacation type stuff). They are not making any money right now, so are falling, but will probably rebound once things can fully open back up, similar to air travel.

I made a bit earlier this year, but have mostly backed out of the market over the last several weeks while I wait to see where things end up. I probably won't get back in for a few more weeks unless I want to buy and hold. Market is just too volatile right now to do much trading without risking losing your shirt.

American Airlines has to take a 12% loan yesterday.

Not a great sign for the industry....

Tbh I hate oil long term. The advances being made in solar and battery storage will render it useless imo.

Airlines are good if you’re going to hold them long, imo. But I get the short term and mid term reason not to.

If you’re interested in a small cap, I love AMRS. My lotto ticket pick.

I also like BUD and ABEV to bounce back.

ENPH is a solar stock to keep an eye on as well.

Boeing could definitely be a buy imo. Government contracts give them a solid floor. And once airlines bounce back they will be business as usual.

Home Court Advantage? • Jun 23, 2020 08:45 PM

I spent a lot of time in the Fieldhouse when it was empty. I worked for the team store.

It is still insanely cool. Something about that place.

I don’t think we should shut back down.

I do think everyone should be Highly encouraged to wear a mask by all people in leadership positions. And I think we should do as much temperature taking as possible.

I just don’t feel like we did enough logistically while we were shut down to handle reopening when we did. But too late now.

I agree that you can’t cheer on protests and then criticize someone for going to a political rally without sounding hypocritical. Either it’s safe to gather or it isn’t.

I’m glad I pushed my wedding back. I know people in Florida who went to a wedding that had an outbreak.

I wonder if things would be different for Trumps polling if he had said to wear a mask and listen to professionals.

Positive rate in Texas is up to 9%.

Pediatric hospitals are having to take adults in. They’re running out of ICU beds quickly.

Bleak situation.
