I'm only going to post positive things today ... Cleveland is doing so much better now that the city owns its own sports teams. No more need to build a new multi-billion dollar stadium to support some billionaire's wealth project. I said "positive", not true.

For anyone paying attention to the sports debacle which is the Cleveland Browns .... I am done with them if (when) they move the new stadium to Brook Park (out of downtown) and give the Haslams everything they want for Xmas. I want billionaires out of sports. Let cities buy their own teams!!!

Saudi Arabia confirmed as 2034 World Cup host We just got over the debacle which was the world cup in Qatar with all their human rights violations and deaths during construction of single-use sports stadiums. You's have thought FIFA would have learned their lesson. No. Curruption reigns @ FIFA.

How many times are you going to post the exact same bullshit over and over and over to every post about transgender athletes?? Do you even know the science behind this?? The USA only leads the world in hatred.

I would be christian if not for the other christians. It seems like they are mostly following something other than Jesus.

I got a notice from United Health Care that my last visit to my primary care doctor was denied because my annual physical (I am > 60) was considered medically unnecessary.

I just had to......🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would add: - don't use the post office - don't borrow money - don't vote - and how does one NOT use the military that defended our very existence?

What an idiot! Good thing he wasn't elected president.

WTF? It's like every pick is a giant poke in the eye of the American public with his tiny middle finger.

But will you learn about being a Buddhist from one? I have studied/lived both for over 60 years (30 each) and still do not know what either one is.

Je suis très heureux d'avoir étudié le français au lycée, car je peux désormais lire avec plaisir comment Le Monde, Le Figaro et d'autres journaux français décrivent les crimes commis par le prochain ambassadeur américain dans leur pays.

I can hardly wait!

Contemplation for today…. if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

I desperately need some christmas cheer to raise my spirit out of the depths of american despair. Any recommendations?

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.

Exactly

They never got Jesus. So who are these commercials for? Are they just virtue signaling to their own? Making themselves feel more self-righteous?

Watching football tonight, I saw one of those "Jesus gets us" commercials. It makes me angry. Highlighting the fact that their founder was a great guy with all that tolerance, compassion and forgiveness - just makes more stark the contrast with their own hatred, intolerance, bigotry and hypocrisy.

I am so sick and tired of billionaires owning sports teams and holding cities hostage to use public funds to build them a new stadium. Teams are shared cultural assets. We need a new law to allow cities to buy their own teams.
