Marquette Wearing Black in Honor of Jacob Blake

[The Sultan]

amen. Black unemployment under Trump at record lows. Job participation rates for all classes at all-time highs. Border security. Rebuilt military...peace thru strength. Middle East peace accords. USMCA. NATO pay-up. Energy independence. Pro life, Pro law enforcement etc etc. Yeah, I'd say Trump is pro America. Tweet too much? Sure. As for the MUScooper under the  moniker BLM, well, he's never let facts dissuade him from not being ignorant. I mean, he went off for about 273 posts on Duane Wilson not being a leader of TxA&M. Like, who cares?

Trump benefitted from the Obama economy for three years and was a complete and utter disaster in year four.  Like everyone with a brain predicted, when a real crisis hit he proved incapable, and in the end quite destructive.  To the point where we literally have members of his own party asking him to resign.

He will go down as one of, if not the worst, presidents in history.

Now that is a huge pile of hogwash. Straight out of rules for radicals
Who would win a one on one bb game, Trump or Biden?

I know it's hard for people to admit they were horribly wrong, but perhaps someday you will open your mind.

Excellent question. Are there are ramps on the court?

[tower912]

Biden would win.   Trump would claim he won.  His cheering section would storm the floor.

[HutchwasClutch]

Push ups are more Biden's wheelhouse. And only against people from America's heartland he calls out as fat at rallies.  Not to mention the complexity of bb is probably to much for his dementia riddled brain.

HOGWASH, very insightful, well thought out position. Nothing more needs to be said, you said it all.  Very helpful for my understanding.  You asked, Trump would foul out.

Ah yes. Trump has a very stable brain and is the epitome of an incredible physical specimen.

Lol. Seriously some of this stuff is too damn good.

Great. Now we have to worry about President Lavar Ball if 1 on 1 skills is a key criteria.

Nothing Trump has done points to any dementia.  Disagree with him all you want, point out his character flaws. Those are all legit arguments.  But dementia or some form of it is not one of his issues.

Biden's handlers were scared to death to let him campaign and speak off the cuff after he was flubbing interviews on MSDNC.  That isn't even arguable. We saw how his campaign was managed.  This is a guy who would forget what state he was in, repeated he was a candidate for senate, placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and introduced her as his sister, etc.

Just trying to bring dialogue here back to basketball, rather than political cancel culture. Guess it may be too far gone for that. So cancel culture away

Prior to Wednesday he was comfortably in the lower third with guys like Fillmore, Harding, or Harrison. But after Wednesday your bolded is unquestionably the case. It'll be a three man battle for bottom spot with him, Buchanan, and A. Johnson.

This is low key very good.

Trump made significant achievements in many areas.
1. The economy grew in a way that created upward wage growth for those at the bottom.
2. Lowest Black unemployment rate

5. Europeans were forced to pay their fair share of NATO
6. ISIS gone
7. Troops removed from Mideast
8. Low energy prices from increased production and for first time US became net exporter of  Oil
9. HBCU's fully funded for 10 years
10. Lowest Mortgage rates in history
11. Vaccines developed in less than one year
12. Numerous peace treaties negotiated in the Middle East 
13. Sabre rattling from North Korea stopped
14. Criminal Justice Reform
15. vaping legislation
16. Restored due process on campuses
17. Space Force
18. 5 G Networks built on Western Technologies
19. Confronted  China economically and Extracted significant revenues without increasing prices . 
20. Significant tax cuts for all.

Biden would either stay in the basement and miss the game or get confused and score at the wrong hoop.

Trump would fill the arena and blather on awhile, never pick up the basketball but said he beat Wilt Chamberlain's single game scoring record.

Both would be painful to watch in a post-game interview.

On an alumni hoops basis, Trump went to Penn and no one cares about Penn hoops, while Biden went to Syracuse and we all hate Syracuse.

sorry...Prez O had 8 yrs. accomplished zip of consequence. Played the race card quite well, however. Economy in year 4? You%u2019ve heard of covid 19, yes? And which admin turbo-charged to a vaccine? It%u2019s an easy answer. (Too bad in WI we have a terd for a Gov that can%u2019t seem to handle distribution of said vaccine.)  However, you referred to Lovell as a weenie, so we agree for once.

Well, to answer $5s question, this is now clearly just political.  I actually appreciated/laughed that willie tried a hoops tie-in.  First time I found willie funny in  a long time.

I'll close by saying, we left this one open to have a discussion about social (in)justice in the US spurred on by the black uniforms/Jacob Blake decision.  I appreciate all those that could stick on that topic and engaged in a thoughtful discussion.  I hope the rest of you can continue to have those types of discussions in your real lives.

Cheerio!
