    I've had the biggest grin since the verdict came down. Yeah sentencing is July 11th and of course there is going to be an appeal but finally, FINALLY something he's done illegally has caught up with him. The MAGAhats can eat sh1t.

    I am confused, does saying "Yes" out you at the top of the list or is this irony at its finest?


    JD Vance says Trump's VP vetting materials include a question about whether any of the prospective candidates have "committed a crime" or lied.

    Watching anything Fox News related kills brain cells faster than MLS General on BigSoccer. Of course those with even a shred of intelligence and critical thinking skills wouldn't believe or be brainwashed by their propaganda in the first place.

    That's why I posted the words, to avoid anyone having to watch the clip.

    I'm a helper!:thumbsup:

    Oh, and, "You Be the Don" is the epitome of Big Soccer MLS idiocy.:eek::eek::eek:

    Not surprising at all unfortunately. ACAB, there's a reason this acronym exists.

    Heres one for ya. Last month I went to St Andrews to hit golf balls until my hands bled. The last night I was carrying my clubs home to the AirB&B. Some 70+ guy asked me where Im from. (Wh'ah're 'ya fruhm. Laddie?) told him Chicago. He kept walking while going off on Laurie Lightfoot. I have no idea.

    Assuming you mean St. Andrews in Scotland, YOU were allowed to go there, but the "owner" is not allowed to, as the owner is a convicted felon.

    Bite yer tongue! Trump owns Turnberry, which was removed from the Open rotation as the R&A doesnt want to be seen with him. St. Andrews Links is 6 courses all mashed together. they are all municipal courses.

    Following up in response to the Rickwood Field topic...

    Not futbol/soccer, just some real embarrassing human sh!t shared here by #44...

    I dig how grounded Reggie sounds, and how he also recognizes the folks that did right...

    In 1969 my Grandparents took little 7 year old me to a Cubs-Giants game. I kept score perfectly, having learned the shorthand and buying a scorecard with my own 15 cents. After the game the Giants were in their bus. I handed my card to Willie McCovey, who signed it and handed it to Willie Mays! Wow!!. Willie Mays shut his window. ******** Willie Mays.

    On July 28, 2019, I put in a request to have my sidewalk repaired due to the tree roots destroying it.
    I sold my house and moved from Chicago to Wisconsin on July 30, 2020.

    Just TODAY, I received an email from the City of Chicago (CHI 311) that
    "Hi .....,
    We are making progress! We're working on your Sidewalk Repair Program service request SR19-02054980, which you submitted on 7/28/2019.

    We recently completed the following step Break Out.

    Estimated completion time is 365 days from 7/28/2019. Please note estimated completion times may vary depending on request volume, time of year, and other factors."

    Then a second:
    "Hi ....
    We are making progress! We're working on your Sidewalk Repair Program service request SR19-02054980, which you submitted on 7/28/2019.

    We recently completed the following step Apply for Permit.

    Estimated completion time is 365 days from 7/28/2019. Please note estimated completion times may vary depending on request volume, time of year, and other factors."

    and, then a third
    "Hi ....,
    We are making progress! We're working on your Sidewalk Repair Program service request SR19-02054980, which you submitted on 7/28/2019.

    We recently completed the following step Investigation/Inspection.

    Estimated completion time is 365 days from 7/28/2019. Please note estimated completion times may vary depending on request volume, time of year, and other factors."

    THE CITY THAT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well, it works very, very slowly, but it works).
    I think their estimate is a bit off, though.

    Well, the very cool people who bought my house will appreciate the new sidewalk, even four years late.

    96 hours a year?
    That's nothing. When I worked downtown and had to drive in every day, I lost at least 1 1/2 hours a day to traffic. 7.5 hours a week. 390 hours a year.
    Not to mention the hours every week just trying to get from the office to my appointment, outreach, workshop, etc.

    Nope, don't miss that

    Get on a bike!

    Live in a suburb, work in a suburb. Work in the city, live in the city.
    Personally, I refuse to b*tch and moan about traffic because I refuse to live more than a half hour, during whatever time I come and go, from where I work.
    There's good food and music venues, and even lots of kinds of people who don't look like me, in the suburbs now, and there's lots of good schools and green neighborhoods with great blocks full of good neighbors in the city.
    Figure it out.

    Moving to Wisconsin to live in a seriously different, and damn attractive, environment is another solid option.
