  1. Wrong. Never took a kid out to play? Never played in a drinking tournament? There is a difference between competitive and casual golf. But some people can't see beyond their own view of life.
  2. Actually I never noticed he only plays his own courses. And as you note golf courses would be bankrupt if they prevented cheaters from playing their courses. When it's fun golf I don't really care what others do. Take a drop? Sure. Declare the bunker GUR? Whatever. What does bug me is people who try to stretch the rules when it is a tournament. Hey, we have to protect the field. I'd LIKE to give you a drop but YOU need to explain which rule of golf gives you that drop. Seems fair enough. And gimme putts for birdie in skins games are right out. If it's a tap in then tap it in.
  3. Yup. And meds are something that really should be home grown. If not at least from a trade partner with a long history of good relations. Allowing China to make drugs we need for us was nuts.
  4. Comparing a bunker versus bad conditions on the course is not the same thing. However, you and playing partners can agree to ANYTHING and go from there. Unless you are in a tournament then rules of golf apply. Curious how often do you play?
  5. If you play a lot of golf you know there is tournament golf - follow all the rules. And there is buddy golf. Agree on any allowances and go from there. BTW I doubt I am in Trumps circle of trust. I've voted against him in every primary in my state. Never works. The Democrats force me to vote for him in every general election because they endorse stupid policies and candidates. Things aren't always black and white.
  6. Do you play golf?
  7. Now that he has finalized a deal with the EU during this visit do you feel stupid? Oh I know you blocked me because you hate opinions not in lockstep with yours but others will read this.
  8. This is just like the weird obsession the left had of GW Bush and the certainty that each scandal had LEGS and would GET BUSH. And in the end - a wet firecracker every time. Can't say I care much about the Epstein files. It is in the hands of the law and it seems the primary perps are in prison or dead. Doubt there is enough evidence there to prosecute anyone else. Well except maybe some woman like Christine Ford or Jean Carroll to make up a story that the mainstream media will believe hook line and sinker.
  9. Actually compare to any nation that has any sense. Control of who enters and stays is crucial to being a nation. And yes people accuse the US of racism for doing that. Weird. The current situation is very sad. Millions of people entered the USA during the Biden administration based on the hints that they could stay. Now millions are learning that isn't true and those who chose to not attend their scheduled hearings are criminals and being deported. Very sad. Not sure what you think I'm wrong on but open to explanation.
  10. People want to believe something so..... and you know they are on a roll. I mean did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? (shhh he's on a roll)🤣 I have no opinion on it. No idea why the judge has sealed the files. And hey, any compelling evidence of anyone engaging in child abuse needs prosecution. President on down. Or former presidents.
  11. I respect Poland for trying to protect their culture from invasion. Immigrants that wish to embrace and learn a new culture are one thing. Those that just want the easier life and safer conditions at the cost of natives are another. USA is unique. In the past most immigrants came to the USA and were PROUD when they attained citizenship. They waved the US flag. They taught their children to be American's. Not that they were ashamed of coming from outside but they came because they thought they were immigrating to a better life for them and their children. They are assets to the nation. And today MOST immigrants (legal and otherwise) still hold the dream of a better life. Most immigrants work hard and are honest. The problem is we have some who come because it is easier to commit crime and lesser penalties when caught than their origin. We are a rich and open society making us easy prey to criminals. Yes, they are a minority but it is becoming a bigger problem. And many times these new immigrants do not want to assimilate. They create their own enclaves where no effort to learn English is made and no effort to become financially productive. Which is why many Americans want to regain control of the borders to admit those who DO come with the right intentions. What is funny is the people on this forum who would accuse anyone that wants border control of racism when Thailand does exactly that. And the prisons the Thais hold overstays in are not pleasant. Heck the new one in Florida is luxury compared to some in Thailand. But then anything done under the approval of Trump will be attacked by the rabid haters who don't care about reality. Truly our political divide is vast today.
  12. Except for the fact the loons on the left believe that is the average Trump voter. I live in a retirement community (55+) of highly successful people most of whom voted for Trump. None that I know would ever consider themselves fascist.
  13. Staged.
  14. Yes it is the extremes on both sides that get the attention. Problem is (at least in the US) rarely are far leftists called that while middle of the road people who happen to endorse any right of center position are labeled far right. Seems anyone that voted for Trump is labeled far right MAGA extremists. I blame media. They just parrot DEM politicians and don't call them out when they use that term while they DO call out GOP politicians when they use the far left term. Whatever. Doesn't sound like we are far apart on the concept.
  15. Problem with that comment is the term "far right". It is applied far too eagerly to people who are not far right but protest against the creeping "far left". Seems anyone NOT with the legacy medias program or " progressive politics" is painted as a hater and far right.
