    Trump creates a false conversation and makes it all up, just to try and glom off the success of someone else through a fake association. Pretty sad.



    "Tommy Tuberville, a great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes," Trump said. "He was a great college coach. And I said, 'How good was he?' He said, 'You don't want to know how good. He made me into a great coach.' He's a pretty good quarterback, right?"

    Tuberville did indeed coach at Texas Tech, Mahomes' alma mater, from 2010-12. But the quarterback played in Lubbock from 2014-16 under head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

    "He did not recruit me at the time," Mahomes told the Philadelphia Inquirer's Gabriela Carroll. "I don’t remember if I ever got to meet him or not."

    There will be more of these make believe moments. Trump is the oldest President ever. He’s older than Biden and already had mental issues. This wont be pretty.

    I find Tubberville’s comments more weird, since he seems to want to take “partial credit” somehow for Mahomes although he did at least correct that he never coached him (apparently he never even met him during recruiting either).

    I don’t expect Trump (or any person who isn’t super into CFB) to know the minutia of who played for what team or who coached who. Maybe he’s making up the account, but who cares? Trump lies, water is wet. Tubberville on the other hand? That would be like U.S. Senator Ron Zook trying to take credit for recruiting Tebow to FL.

    Nothing new. He’s been making up that kind of stuff for a while. Remember raking the Finnish forests?

    We all know Trump and we picked him and the republicans over Kamala and the democrats. Maybe y'all should put your focus on turning the democrats and their candidates into something more palatable to the American masses.

    So you're saying that no one on a political board should discuss the fact that the president of the United States simply makes up stuff and lies to us, is that it?

    I think we should discuss anything anyone wants to discuss (I really don't want lefties to quit crying....I enjoy it). I'm just saying we chose a known quantity over what the democrats offered. Maybe the democrats should put some effort into analyzing their own faults.

    Yes, and we chose Biden over Trump four years ago. The presidency switches parties all the time.
    But I don't recall every criticism of Biden getting this kind of response.

    This is now a fact in MAGA world. Mahomes played for Tubervulle and made Tuberville a great coach. Probably the greatest coach ever. Mahomes is a liar and not even that good of a QB. He should be audited by the IRS and have his Super Bowl rings taken away by EO.

    By this logic, we know the felon is a proven sexual offender thus if he assaults a random news reporter, it is acceptable. Maybe he and our unqualified SoD could have a contest. Or perhaps the Cons could offer the voters a non-criminal with some integrity.

    You chose an adulterous, lying, racist, rapist, convicted felon traitor.

    So be prepared for him to be made fun of when he publicly lies.

    To be fair though, you seem to be being honest and admitting that you knew these things when voting. Maybe if you were more specific it would make things more clear.

    Perhaps you could express the truth like : "Yeah, we know we voted for a rapist liar, but....."

    Or : "Yes, we voted for a lying traitor, but...."

    Anyway, props to you for honesty.

    We've seen this movie before on multiple levels. The potus does or says something, which by definition makes it newsworthy no matter who the potus is. People then post and talk about it and suddenly it's TDS. It is blasphemy to throw any shade at their orange idol.

    That is weird. Tuberville even said “I got to be very good friends with him” even though he left before coaching him, and Mahomes says he can’t recall ever meeting him…. Awkward. It’s like Tuberville feels like he needs to lie to cover for Trump’s petty lies, or fall out of good graces with him…. Which is probably true.

    Tubberville says a lot of stupid, ignorant, and outrageous things.

    So, if someone criticizes Trump, I shouldn't take issue with it? If that's how y'all do it, I can comply. I don't have a lot of experience on this board.

    Nope
    Trumps lies all the time.
    Of course so did Biden…but weirdly Indians care about that.
    Our politicians have become nothing but lying despicable garbage. Hell.. it is ingrained in our political machines
    But some will keep acting like it’s new or only one side does it

    You should definitely take issue with it as it is what you have been programmed to do. Protect Trump and all cost no matter what he says or does

    Of course you can. But if he's apparently telling an outright lie, maybe you deal with the lie rather than always "yeah, well you Democrats ..." Imagine if all conversation is like that?
    Question something a Republican does ... "Yeah, well the Democrats ..."
    Question something a Democrat does .... "Yeah, well the Republicans ..."

    Just to be clear, I'm a moderator here, but I'm not telling you what you have to do. Just offering my personal opinion and suggestion for the sake of honest conversation.

    I'm not a trumper. There's a lot I don't like about him. I just know he was the better choice.

    Be honest here River.. this IS what 90 percent of this board is.
    Hell the running joke is that a certain poster may be a bot because no matter what is posted he replies with the same thing
    But bush was a thing
    But Obama
    But Trump
    But Biden
    But Trump
    … it’s what almost every thread becomes right before the insults fly(or right after or during the insults)
