I don't see him throwing in people's faces like coal does though.

As he wrote, coal makes some excellent sports related posts. Wish we all could leave politics out of things here but I know it will never happen.
I get it. My biggest problem with the occasional politics is the people who throw "liberal" like it is a dirty word just because their opinion is different. Hey, that's what opinions are all about; folks can and should have one that might be different from yours. That is truly what makes America great. Think about it.

I see too much of "everyone is entitled to MY opinion," especially from the far right. It makes me sick.

It’s actually ironic that we criticize other countries for being dictatorships but as soon as someone has an opinion that is different all political hell breaks loose.

I just wish people would actually take the time to fact check things. News channels are lopsided in the political fray... If you hear something on the news (doesn't matter which you listen to) then go fact check it before believing it... Just because the news channel says so doesn't make it accurate. Especially the opinion segments that people take as gospel.

Yeah I meant their little suvs. Tahoe’s suburbans and Yukon’s are money
A friend of mine owns a Jeep dealership and is always cutting deals for his friends. I once asked why he has never tried to sell me a Jeep. He said because you drive a suburban, suburban owners only buy 1 car, another suburban. Sure enough, bought my 2nd one last year.

Disagree. I have three kids and two dogs and are already outgrowing ours (sequoia).
I should’ve added dogs. We don’t have any. Just 3 kids. Plus Escalade might not even help with the dogs. Because when that 3rd row is up the space in the back of the regular one is minimal. You’d need to put all 3 kids in the 2nd row, which wouldn’t be possible with the captains chairs. Now that I think about it the captains chairs were nice, but the Escalade was still not for me.

I’m a Chevy guy. I owned a Dodge truck for a few years. Other than that, I’ve had all Chevys since in my early 20’s. Haven’t really been keeping up with what’s going on with GMC during all of this, but I’ve been pleased with them as an owner.

With all the kid gear the captains seats are a Godsend.

Agreed with everything you said except the last sentence. From where I’m sitting, the left pushes their agenda on everyone. If you speak up in objection, you are a racist or have some sort of phobia.

I can't help but to think that you'd get a much superior product out of Mercedes. My wife and I own a Mercedes E350 and a Cadillac Escalade.

Both have great "curb appeal." They each serve a different role for us as well, but my wife opts for the chrome-slathered Escalade with its near-obnoxious presence. The Russian gypsy in her gravitates toward "big and sparkly."

However, when you're behind the wheel of each vehicle – two different experiences. The engineering, drivability and virtually every fine detail is far superior in the Mercedes. To that point, Mercedes-Benz blows every other vehicle I've ever driven out of the water, and it's not very close.

I've had 2 Mercedes-Benz vehicles to this point, and zero issues with either of them.
Shew, this reads like a commercial. MB isn't even in the top 5 in it's class, but I'm more of a reliability guy.

If you only see it coming from the far right, then you aren't looking very hard.

I just dont think you can find the type of bombastic outrageous commentators on the left like Rush, Oreilly, Levin, Beck, Ingraham, Carlson, Jones etc on the right.

Those folks have huge followings and are constantly preaching the evilness of all who disagree with them. They incite their audience and they become convinced that wanting earnings over $500k taxed at 40% instead of 32% makes a person a modern day Lenin. An evil socialist.

The right dominates the political media environment on cable and radio.

I understand that there are negatives to all parties but we can't keep saying "both sides" are bad when one is bad like the pain in your *** neighbor that wants you to take better care of your lawn and the bad neighbor that has Cloris in a pit in their basement.

Those arent the same kind of bad neighbors.

This, everyone is either lazy or to stuck on their opinion to actually research what is going on in this country.

See, this is the problem with not being objective. Fox spins the news like crazy but because you dont agree with them you dont think CNN spins(or as bad). Have you every watched Don Lemon? That guy is so pissed about the last election he has not one objective bone in his body. Brian Stelter? Cuomo(brother to the Dem Gov of NY) Rachel Maddow? Jake Tapper?

Its on both sides. I started watching the BBC for real American news. People are just not being objective imo. Its the Dems want the new green deal but the worsts polluting country in the world is China. Facts are China started this mess and the news is trying to take up for them.

This thread will resurface when all the facts are out. For now, it's driven by emotion and spin.
