Thank God, change is finally here.

lol point proven

The future of the country is in firm hands.

:picard:I have no idea if your taking a pot shot. So I am gonna leave it at that.

The asshole comment was unnecessary, and I will give him an infraction for that. But he was intelligently countering your argument, hence no ban.

yeah, that is scary.

…So because I do not know shit about politics means I do not contribute to the country. Good game. FFS.

touche!

ok i retire

As in who pays for all the additional security for the events? That would be the people through their taxes.

Not what I meant.

:picard: What a stupid comparison.

Emphasis please.

These counter-strike type deals tend to be expensive.

At least I guess one could argue the super bowl generates revenue, although I certainly wouldn’t care if it got the parade got the axe.

i still think that electing obama was the worse thing that this country could have done, but too late now. what is done is done.

THE MAJORITY OF THE COSTS WERE DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY BECAUSE MILLIONS OF CITIZENS WENT TO THEIR NATION’S CAPITAL TO SEE THEIR NEW PRESIDENT INAUGURATED

Please drop the talking point. Thank you.

I already told you once in this thread where the costs came from, yet you brought up the SAME INACCURATE talking point again.

Make it smaller? It’s the presidential inauguration you can’t block citizens from showing up to see it.

Arab? Do you even know what that means? You don’t or else you wouldn’t have posted that.

I really really hope you know that when he lived in Indonesia it was WITH HIS STEP FATHER.

No but many cities dedicate hundreds of millions of tax payer $$ to fund athletic teams and the stadiums. Take NYC for example they are shelling out almost 1 billion for the Met/Yanks stadiums.

Even here in good old Erie County this happens. The taxpayers pay $800,000+ for each home game and DO NOT see any of the profits in return.

You can’t use that logic on them, they would much rather deny people the right to see the event, then they don’t have to see the amount of support he has.

Because that what they are really afraid of, the sheer number of supporters scares the hell out of Republicans.

So the county doesn’t see any tax revenue from people eating at restaurants, staying at hotels, buying gas, paying toll. Plus it puts Buffalo on the map 8 times a year locally.

Yes, scared. Totally… You got me. Man, have you not read my posts and see me reiterate that I don’t care who won, that much money did not need to be spent.

And oh yea, it’s tradition, we HAVE to do it this way. People expect it. Yea, I’m all for that. Maybe part of this plan titles CHANGE could have started with this event, but the CAPS typing ASSHOLE calling, just warned not banned as other people in the past that don’t worship your black messiah, person just feels that we NEED to have this huge party that most of the $180 million we spent went towards security.

I myself will go and feel much better with the quick results of a delicious dinner that my wife will make tonight and not the promise that she will make one and I have to wait for results, but I know she will try and make one in the near future. All with the security of a warranty that I purchased with my new oven that she will use. All that and it didn’t cost me $180 million.

Man, take off the blinders. He hasn’t done shit, only promised to do things. The more you give into it, the more you set yourself up for a fall. Don’t expect as much, and don’t fall as far. This goes for ANY politician.

I hope he reaches his goals. But at that point I will be thankful. My boss promised me a raise 6 months ago, I don’t have it yet. Should I still raise him on a pedestal?

I should have dug my bunker a long time ago :frowning:
