[LOCKED] Harbaugh on Twitter re: Trump... Goodness
Jim has thoughts on presidential initiatives... Comment on your own risk. I love Harbaugh! https://mobile.twitter.com/CoachJim4UM?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%…
MOD EDIT - I'll lock this to be safe. We shall leave the link to the tweet here, of course, for everyone's private reflection. - LSA

I practiced law with LSC-funded legal aid programs for sixteen years, and the higher-level anti-poverty advocacy I do now would probably not be possible without the existence of the LSC-funded programs. So I obviously agree with Coach and appreciate his Tweet. Go Blue.

He's on the Leader's Council apparently

I don't follow politics and didn't know what LSC was until I saw the tweet. It's interesting.

Our football coach having an educated / non-controversial opinion on a topic that he's personally involved with shouldn't automatically qualify as "political." It was a pretty innocuous statement with no partisan slant.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
It seems that there is no "pretty innocuous statement with no partisan slant" these days. Both sides are capable of finding something offensive about anything.

It's the posters who will want to take this thread as an opportunity to let us all know their particular feelings on this and other subjects that make these topics so verboten. One guy (and surprised it hasnt happened yet but trust me...it will) will get on a soapbox telling all of us how much he either agrees (and where's why) with Harbaguh or the other side (and here's why) and then off we go into a shit storm.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
It's never the content of the OP but the that guy who lights the match.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:06 PM ^
I’m not certain but I think this is soapbox inception? Getting on a soapbox to talk about other people on soapboxes?

I'd just like to borrow your boat for a weekend.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
Lawyer up!! Although I agree with Harbaugh's position.

I'll say this before this thread goes away, although I would be open to having an off topic section of Mgoblog as to discuss these type of things.
As some one who voted for neither candidate but leans right, I have to agree. The fact he got elected shows just how terrible all the candidates in this election were. What a mess.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
When the outcome is binary, you vote for the lesser of two evils. If the two major candidates were indeed equally bad to you, then ok (while I find this to be an incredibly misinformed and an ignorant false equivalency that many bought in to), I could understant the vote if it's truly what you believed.
However, if you felt that 1 of the 2 major candidates was .00000001% better than the other, you should vote for that candidate. Protest 3rd party votes do not make you morally superior, better informed, or more intellectually independent than the rest of us. Instead, you threw your vote in the garbage in a fit of self aggrandizement and sanctimony.

I already gave you those links on the other political thread if you want to discuss politics, so why are you still giving your political opinions here?
February 28th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
Six posts later it goes partisan. Exactly as I predicted it would. Exactly why these threads never stay up for long.

February 28th, 2017 at 1:09 PM ^

because there is no way it is not a political thread
that said, restraint has been good so far

If someone expresses an opinion on the board you do not like, do not post a response that you would not post if the opinion-giver was Jim Harbaugh.

If it's gonna be that kind of party...you know what I am sticking in the mashed potatoes.
