The whole country needs to stop with the Trump stomps. Really, you voted him in. You made your bed, so sleep in it and make a change next election.
Yes
No
it just goes to show how irrelevant Poop is when you consider that Trump hasn't addressed him, yet will attack nobodies on Twitter while he's on the ter in the middle of the night.So true

The problem isn’t that he attacks Trump. I do that. The problem is that he is a hypocrite. The latest example was yesterday when he called Trump a coward for not attending the gun rally in DC. Funny enough, Pop didn’t attend it. But regardless, where was this gun warrior when Obama had a super majority and chose to do nothing about guns. Trump doesn’t have the numbers to steamroll gun measures even if he wanted to. But Obama did. So doesn’t that make Obama more of a coward? Let’s see Obama go to the rally and tell those kids blood is on his hands because he had a super majority and did nothing.
Where's the "I don't give a " selection?
Obama only had a super majority for essentially four months give or take due to illness, death, contesting seats, etc.

In another thread with people commenting on something that isn't this.
I agree with Pop's politics for the most part and the reactions he elicits from Trump supporters is comedy(especially on this forum), but I agree that he's a hypocrite and his at ude towards basketball questions is tiresome..
It would be different if he was the type to answer anything he's asked(both hoops-related and anything else), but he clearly isn't..it's especially funny since the SA media is arguably the easiest to deal with among all NBA teams
Well he passed Obamacare. That was a massive bill. He could easily have banned AR-15s. He didn’t bc he feared losing red state dems seats. That would be a coward under Pop’s definition.
Priorities, man. You don't get to do multiple things at the same time in DC. Learn politics. Healthcare reform or the idea of making everyone have coverage is as old as FDR.
Gun reform is relatively new. , even in the 80s, the NRA was less insane than they are now. This is relatively new.
He he never made banning the AR-15 a priority because he knew it would hurt politically. That’s fine. But don’t walk around attacking Trump and the NRA when you have no intent on doing anything other than using it to demonize the other party. That’s my point. It’s hypocritical.
He should shut up and coach
No. I don't like hearing about Trump in any forum - even if he's being criticized. I think he's a narcissistic idiot but I'd rather Pop just STFU about it.
Where's the "I don't give a " option?
Silly for two reasons. One, the bill which never came into effect, even under Obama was tailored to prohibit guns from getting to a class of “mentally ill” people that have no history of gun violence of any kind. Even the ACLU agreed with Trump. Just another one of those dumb laws that do nothing other than show you are “doing something.”
Second, whatever Trump does or doesn’t do with gun reform, Obama did nothing either but lip service after Sandy Hook. It’s hypocritical to attack Teunp without acknowledging that Obama had opportunities but would not act because it would hurt him politically.
dude, you are literally accusing obama of doing nothing, when he did do something, which was later revoked by trump. and even if obama didnt do anything (remember, he did, but lets play out the hypothetical), pop didnt start calling trump a coward because of guns, he called him a coward for lying about being the only president to contact the families of dead soldiers (and more in general, for lying to inflate his own ego).
if you are going to say obama was equal to trump on gun policy, please show me an article like the one just posted with the word "the NRA applauded president Obama" , just because he didnt get something done doesnt mean he didnt want to and it certainly doesnt mean he's the same as trump, neither in his political stance nor public behavior.

trump gives trash a bad name.
people being so bothered by him voicing his opinion on a matter so much more important than basketball
“he should coach instead of talk politics”, stfu and get over yourself. let me guess, you watch fox news and think lebron should shut up and dribble too? off trump voter. you are a stain on this country’s history.
It's called being a patriot. Instead of being a little whiner and not showing up. Yes, it's a free country and they have that right but it's the highest honor and they turned it down because of Trump being the president. All it does is create more divide when players do that. If Obama or Hillary was there they would show up.
You did the math
Obama used gun control as an means of demonizing republicans. When he had the chance, he did nothing. You can defend him all you want, but you can’t hide the fact that he spent no political capital on gun reform. Period.“President Barack Obama recommended the now-nullified regulation in a 2013 memo following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 first graders and six others dead.”
- obama did something
- (gop congress did block/would’ve blocked Anything else obama would do)
- trump undid it
- obama isnt potus anymore trump is (window for “thanks obama” is all but shut”)
but you knowmaga
You need a person writing an article to teach you how to think? Look at the Obama bill. Don’t read an article. It was aimed at a small class on nonviolent mentally ill people that have no link to any gun violence. It was window dressing to fool people like you into thinking he was “doing something.” Again, I don’t blame Obama for playing political games on the electorate. Republicans do it too. I just can’t stand the hypocrisy of condemning Trump (who I dislike personally) when Obama has the same unclean hands.
Not the same unclean hands. There is nuance. NrA, gun nuts spent 8 years crying about Obama coming to take their guns, meanwhile in one year they are applauding Trump for removing regulations. Obama didn't do enough, what Trump has done IS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Not the same at all
And Mr critical thinker still didn't grasp why pop called him a coward, let me quote it so you can explain what Obama did that was similar that pop should have called him a coward over:
Where is pop wrong here?“I’ve been amazed and disappointed by so much of what this president had said, and his approach to running this country, which seems to be one of just a never-ending divisiveness,” Popovich told Zirin. “But his comments today about those who have lost loved ones in times of war and his lies that previous presidents Obama and Bush never contacted their families are so beyond the pale, I almost don’t have the words.”
Popovich also spoke of his contempt for Trump’s inner circle. “This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner– and to lie about how previous presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers – is as low as it gets,” Popovich added.
“We have a pathological liar in the White House, unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office, and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this president should be ashamed, because they know better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it.”
Oh, and please show me Republican lip service / window dressing for gun control, I'd love to see it!
I think he is using his platform to say things that need to be shouted from the rooftops and I commend him. He understands that life isn't just about work but helping the people around you to become better people not beating them down for your own personal benefit.
And as others have said, I love how it makes you snowflakes quiver with anger that someone is calling you out for being the racists you pretend you aren't. The truth hurts for a reason.
