[LOCKED] OT: Golden State Warriors unanimously vote to skip customary White House visit
It didn’t take the Golden State Warriors long to decide to skip the traditional championship White House visit.
Less than 24 hours after winning the 2017 NBA Finals on Monday night, the Warriors unanimously voted to decline the White House ceremony honoring their Finals win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to several reports including one by CNBC analyst Josh Brown.
The Warriors attended the White House ceremony to honor their 2015 NBA Finals title when former President Barack Obama was in the White House.

MOD EDIT - ....and locked. It's interesting news, to be sure, but this thread.....yeesh. - LSA
Dammit. I was hoping Draymond would kick Trump in the nuts! :-)
/nopolitics
Political tensions are high right now, but in time, I think historians will look back and unanimously declare that Draymond is trash
ahhh you deleted it. smooth.
and those who didn't want to go see Obama were racist.
/s
when TB didn't go when obama was in office? if you can't respect peoples opinions then why should anyone respect yours.
also - for all those who will tell them to go back to playing baskbetball; by that definition we should all go back to our dayjonbs.
...from a dude that voted for Obama because he was black and then called everyone else that didn't a racist.
How is it a rant if it's true?

Btw I voted for Obama then Romney b/c I thought Dodd-Frank went too far stifling growth, not that you would know anything about actual policy regarding Wall St.
...to go see Co-POTUS Putin at the Kremlin, instead.
I, for one, think that they made a poor decision since I voted for the current president.
Now let's see if the mods delete my post but keep yours :)
you think your the only with those views on here, man? Keep reading.
he seriously wear those socks? I don't remember that. I guess that may go a long way in explaining why nobody will sign him. That, and the fact because it appears he was only good cuz Harbaugh.
so I could have upvoted the shit out of it.
looking for sincere honest answer; what parts specifically are you happy about?
I love that I post an honest question looking for true dialogue and get downvoted; as opposed to just bashing his side before I hear it. THIS is why there is no politics.
for all you know I voted for him and I am looking for some bs reasons to justify? Or I didn't and I am genuinely curious to his side
I actually like his approach to regulations. I don't think anyone supports no regulations at all, but the whole system is pretty crazy now... Way too complicated and convoluted. I like the idea of eliminating two regs for every new one imposed. Should declutter a bit. I saw a chart showing the massive drop-off in new regs under him. Bush > Obama >>>>>>>>>> Trump. My industry is greatly affected by these.
i'm in finance so I deal with the regulation burden pretty much daily, for me personally I couldn't overlook everything else for the small benefit that deregulation may have.
I do think both sides are ripe with hypocrissy about what they complain about, i.e., right now talking about how dems are obstructionists, when thats all the republicans did for 6 years
This is not the time. This is not the place. You are a fool.
more non-productive name calling. thats what makes it not the time or place. because its never the time or place because people immediately jump to name calling without providing something of attempted knowledgeable discourse
Politics will never have a time or a place haha how do you not understand that?
but there is no reason to be a petulant child when politics are posted though. And that goes for both sides here. In every other thread we see the constant "you don't like it, don't read it"; granted I have no clue why the mods have let this go on this long.
what has he done to prove all of those things. Like actual progress. I will concede that he has stopped new regulations from coming in; I directly see that in my day to day. I would say I don't think it makes doind business easier yet because everything is still in place. But so far everything he has proceeded on there has been no follow through with the exception of the Paris accord.
Again - looking for civil discussion here and appreciate the replies or not.
I watch with cautious optimism... I voted him as the best alternative, but I definitely keep a close watch on things that are happening. It is hard to measure progress at this point because time takes time and the economy moves in cycles, the ENTIRE political establishment is against him (so I think he is still figuring out the carrot to motivate them to do something), and I am not even sure he has had all of his appointees approved yet.
The Paris accord ultimately means nothing because there were no teeth, but it does set a precedent and direction he plans to take, which is one that will hopefully save billions+ of tax payer dollars and numerous jobs.
for you to call him a success or a failure? How long of a time scale do you think is appropriate?
I don't have a timeline. There are too many variables... He isn't a dictator and is facing resistence just for being him. While his predecessor was happy to use his pen to get things done, we see how easily it is undone and I hope he doesn't go that route.
My measures would be meaningful changes to our healthcare system. ACA is failing miserably and only addressed insurance, not the cost of healthcare, which the two are only kind of related.
I would like to see some sort of movement on the debt. The last government doubled it (I don't know why no one talks about this), and so far I am not optimistic that anything will happen here. Unless...
Tax reform. The right tax cuts CAN help us get out of this GDP growth rut and start clawing at the debt from the other side.
More slashing of regulations where sensible. I think there is plenty to cut from the EPA.
This guy is a certified troll for sure.
encouraging people to hate law enforcement."
Dude, he fired the director of the FBI for investigating him and is about to try to fire a special prosecutor appointed by his Attorney General for doing the same thing. He doesn't merely hate law enforcement, he views the actual enforcement of law as optional.
You are making assumptions on motivation with Comey. Keep in mind he was pretty universally disliked by both sides and by Comey's own admission he was not investigating Trump, so pretty sure that wasn't motivation.
Your version of the universe doesn't match mine, apparently. Trump admitted on national TV he fired Comey because of the Flynn investigation.
Also, Comey told the President a while back that he was not under investiation, but that doesn't make it the case when he was fired and it doesn't mean that the President's campaign was not under investigation (which it was and is). Which pretty much means that Trump himself was under investigation, at that point it's just semantics.
Nobody cares who you voted for bro
LOL!
boy.
In before massive blog explosion.
