That's just flat out wildly inaccurate (although I'm sure you believe it).
That's just flat out wildly inaccurate (although I'm sure you believe it).
I've been trying to stick to sports on this forum but since it's looking like Spurs talk will be a long while away, let me dig in here on politics.
Firstly if this transcript is accurate, Popovich is in the running for being the most card-carrying leftist celebrity out there. Seriously, he called up The Nation for an interview? You couldn't preach to a choir more than that. Being a 70 year old white guy from the Air Force evidently not hurting his demo cred for some reason huh.
His Trump comments are same and retread since 2017...nothing to add there. But to go to his points on McConnell running the country, and the damage that is being done:
1) Destroyed and Degraded the Judicial system.
What the does this even mean. Any specifics Pop? Or is getting your party's candidates appointed a crime in and of itself
2) Tried to destroy Healthcare.
Wait so Healthcare and Obamacare synonymous. The opposing party can't tweak it without basically destroying it?
3) Destroyed the environment
Amazing the Gregg threw this banal catch-line again without a molecule of backing. It's such a cartoonishly flagrant statement. From Page one of the leftist handbook.
Here's another head scratcher for me. If Pop is now saying his problem is with McConnell and GOP at large, where the was his activism in 2001-2008 under Dumbya?
You know the guy who botched Iraq, Katrina, civil liberties, had a VP who was the biggest a-hole republican you can imagine.
Lastly I'll say Pop is the same guy who we have almost universally bashed this year for his rotations and play style.
How can one berate this man's performance on his profession, which he's done for decades, and then extol how wise his political analysis is, an arena he doesn't have an objective clue about based on the generalities above.
This country needs moderates in the national assembly. Pop's thinking is so out-of-touch with mainstream America it's baffling how he's descended into this current state.
Will be interested to hear his remarks on President Biden next January, as moderate as they come.
"The system has to change. I'll do whatever I can because that's what leaders do."
That quote sums up today's version of Popovich to the tee. Pompous and Self-Aggrandizing while feigning the opposite.
I guess POP got to feeling neglected so he calls up a hard left liberal friend at the liberal rag called
the "Nation" to get some face time blasting Trump. I feel sorry for Lonnie who helped clean up some
downtown today. He will probally be called an "uncle Tom" now. Lonnie is a good kid with a huge heart.
Even Nathan can’t refute Trump being McConnell’s puppet
You can on his politics all you want as rightnut huggers but you can’t argue with that statement
This connection you've drawn makes no sense. Pop decried the lack of organization in the same article that you didn't read
What you don’t understand is that Pop is, in fact, a moderate. You’re so far to the right you’re about to fall off the map, which gives you a warped perspective. Your idea of a moderate is someone who keeps their mouth shut.
As for ruining the judicial, Merrick Garland was an outstanding justice on the DC circuit court for a good while, and a moderate, something you seem stuck on. What he wasn’t was a pick of the Federalist Society or a drunken frat boy, so he didn’t even get a vote. A Democratic Senate approved a HW Bush pick with less time left in his term than Obama had with Garland. There is only one party packing the courts with political picks.
Holding a supreme court seat hostage by saying that the people should decide, then saying if that situation happened again the people he'd push through a candidate.
Tweaking healthcare would be fine but they've yet to present an alternative, McConnel voted repeatedly to destroy the ACA
How is he less qualified than trump was in 08 to speak about politics
I disagree that Trump is McConnel's puppet, McConnel ain't pulling the strings out of some underhanded backward method the phrase "being a puppet" implies, Trump just doesn't want to do any actual work so he's letting Mitch do all the work.
Pop with the posterizing dunk on trump
Pop is such a massive piece of . Wish he’d “unload” like this onto the piece of garbage team he’s crafted. whatever, can’t wait for November. KAG
Thanks for posting this. Pop was absolutely right on Trump. I'm proud of him for speaking out.
I'm also glad he called out Cruz and Graham, who once had the backbone to stand up to Trump. Now they are "obsequious" and cowardly, as they do his bidding. Cruz will be most remembered as the man who let Trump insult his wife and father and said 'yes sir, may I have another.' Quite a legacy.
Trump s are such ing snowflakes.
No, he won't, at least not by the majority
A number of Black athletes and celebrities helped clean the streets today with minimal backlash.
Great analogy!

Why did he not tell 44 to unify
What
Why only say something when others are
No balls pop ?
He has no ing business opening his mouth up
Mayors and governors are in charge of police
Not the president
Lol at liberals thinking trump giving a speech is going to stop the protest
Yeah, Popovich is correct. Trump is 100% responsible for the death of George Floyd and the ensuing burning down, destruction and extreme violence occurring in several of our metro areas. If ONLY he were not POTUS, none of this would have happened. At least when OBAMA was POTUS, nothing like this happened! Oh, wait....they actually DID happen: Michael Brown, Ferguson and the Baltimore riots. So I guess OBAMA is to blame for these incidents as well??? Please explain.
When I saw this at work earlier I knew there'd be a nice salt filled thread on ST to enjoy
see you in November hopefully the dumb senile POS poop retires by then
LMAO! Nobody in history has ever ed up an NBA Championship as badly as Pop did in '13, and that's just 5-on-5 with some subs. This sucker acts like he could manage over 300 Million people.
He wants Trump to just say three words? Maybe Pop should have said, "Tim, stay in."
It still hurts.
