This fool is unhinged and triggered like a mofo.....still cracking up.....

The Recount (@therecount)

Sportscaster Chris Russo GOES OFF on GOP politicians, including Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott, after Texas school shooting: "Now where are they going on Friday? ... To an NRA convention in Houston, Texas for crying out loud! ... America, shape up, wake up and do something!"

3peet came from my time I grew up in SoCal (grew up there)
USC alum
I'm 50 now. Live in the Bay Area now. Been here half of my life. Gonna retire here.
Married, 3 kids. Don't really bet much anymore. Im messing around during the NBA playoffs. Mostly active during fball season.
Travel the world w/ my wife now that the kids are grown.
My teams are the Raiders, USC Trojans, The Warriors and A's
I'm self employed.

I visit every now and then to the RX cause its the one constant thats been there since I joined back in 04.

 

[Ricboff]

Recently retired after almost 37 years at the post office, which is a great place for spiritual growth.
Always been a sports junkie. Played, watched, but actually didn't gamble all that much until I realized after about 3 months of marriage that it wouldn't last. I was 40, she was 28. I had shit. She didn't. So I started gambling because I realized my choices were to donate to either bookies, lawyers or her. Ended up raising two kids on my own. It was hard at times, but actually had a blast. Still have a hard time believing how f****d up the court system is for guys with minor children. All is good. I'm going to brag a little bit about my kids because it was hard for them and now one just started his residency at a top medical school and the other is a MMA fighter. I should add that they wouldn't have had the opportunities presented to them if not for my deadbeat drunk ass ex wife's Dad, whose is fucking awesome. I am an empty nester now and pretty much bored af. I am an Empath, therefore I am not able to watch or read about all the hate in the world today. I get my news and political info here at the RX. Thanks for the opportunity to vent. Nobody else wants to hear about my shit lol.

happy for ya. Kudos to you. And kudos to your boys maternal grandfather for stepping up

gl to your boy in medicine . Crazy times. Healthcare can be very rewarding, need balance tho!!

straight from the AMA;

Doctor shortages are here—and they’ll get worse if we don’t act fast

Two of America’s most influential physician voices detail what’s driving the shortage, how the pandemic’s exacerbating it, and how it can be overcome.

www.ama-assn.org

the cost of putting someone through medical school/training aint going to help the above (esp., specialites ). Its insane, esp in USA

I think working for minimum wage or less during residency doesn't help

 

[rwjr]

You also got this wrong....they in fact DO WORK TOGETHER
and team up to fk this country as hard and as long as they can.

As a life long REPUBLICAN I believe it , I've always seen the elephants ? as the good guys but I just don't know anymore .

BOTH parties are crooked as hell & I'm just sick & tired of all the B.S .

 

[sportsm60]

I'm an old school guy but in my mid twenties. I love sports. I mean with a passion. Watching sports, playing and definitely betting on sports. I'll bet MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL. The most fun is NFL. Teasers in the NFL...I make a killing off em.

I'm a fitness freak but I love red meat. I can't stop. And I probably drink too much on weekends. Red wine, scotch neat, Vodka and orange juice is my favorite. Beer of course.

Son of immigrants who came here with nothing and became millionaires through hard work. And I mean HARD work. Blue collars jobs. Put me through a good school and I make a good living now and can't complain about anything.

I have very thick skin. I love to meet all types of different people and try all sorts of different food.

I am a proud Democrat. I have friends that are both Democrats and Republicans. (no extremists on either side though)

I love vacations to Cancun, Switzerland and all over the world but especially Switzerland. That country has figured it all out. No lie. Paradise. Closest thing to a perfect society compared to any country in the world that I've personally been to. And I've been to a lot.

I like to go to extremes when with my online aliases. Won't lie. Especially when I see people or things I don't agree with. I'm never myself online. I don't care to be or see the point. I have many friends and a vibrant social life. I feel no need to connect with people online. I know for some, forums and social media is their life or a big part of it, and they make real connections there. That's fine by me. It's cool.

I have a wonderful, gorgeous German girlfriend who just did her residency. She's way too good for me. I don't get it. Never will. But although I played the field and even cheated on her a couple of times and got caught during the early parts, I'm committed now and put a ring on it. Proud interracial relationship.

I'm tough as nails. Love to work out. Love playing in my basketball and football leagues. I work hard and party hard. White collar job. People that I know that work blue collar jobs think I have a cushy, overpaid white collar job and mock me when I say I work hard...but I'll tell ya, work that wears you out mentally is more tiring than physical labor.

I'm a homophobe. I don't agree with the lifestyle. I won't lie. I'm a jerk about it. But have worked VERY hard to try to be tolerant and keep it to myself and just evolve and let people be. It still irks me tremendously when I see a gay couple kissing in public and I get horrified at the thought of gay men raising kids, especially a little boy. I'm sorry. Keeping it real.

As I said, I'm a proud Democrat but I'm pro gun and against illegal immigration but very much for legal immigration. It's what made and makes this country great.

Nevermind the other stuff I say on this forum. This is the first and only real post I will make on here.

I think some of the posters on this site, the ones that despise eachother...if they met in real life (if both parties agreed not to throw down instantly upon meeting) and sat down had a beer and watched a ball game would hit it off and have a blast haha. Not all, just a few posters. I can just tell by their personalities.

My favorite teams, Steelers, Ravens (yes I can love both) Saints, Washington Capitals, New York Knicks, Lakers, Yankees.

Favorites players: Peyton Manning, Dree Brees, Big Ben, Antonio Brown, Tony Romo, Ovechkin, Michael Jordan (GOAT) Kobe Bryant (R.I.P)

Favorite shows, Seinfeld, 70s Show and a ton more. Favorite movie is PAIN AND GAIN and Goodfellas and Scarface and Training Day and Gladiator.

Favorite actors, Ray Liotta (R.I.P) Al Picino, Jennifer Lawrence, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Stallone, Arnold, Denzel.

I think this is an interesting thread and a good idea. I think it would be great to keep politics and personal vendettas and agendas out of this thread. Try to get to know the real posters somewhat and see where they are coming from. You might be surprised...Or at least get some insight on what makes them tick.

Peace.

you left out that you are also a self hating white libtard idiot!

 

[sportsm60]

I am an America first republican that is sick of these RINO and lefty politicians stealing our elections and selling our country out to international interests. I conceal carry and also carry a razor-sharp quick release pocket knife and have an arsenal at home. I went to the NRA convention in Houston today and was hoping some left wing lunatic ANTIFA asswipe would fuck with me. Luckily I didnt have to end one of them!

And that is why those pulling the strings have been so successful in their mission to gain Dominion over us all.

They dont want us to unite by design.

You do realize that Switzerland has very little immigration from non European countries and that virtually all young males own guns, given their mandatory military service, two policies that the democrats are diametrically opposed to.

Most of the world doesn't have the economic and healthcare anchors that we have

[RXJoy]

It's been amazing to hear your stories, keep em coming

 

[Bozzie]

Was in TV for many years. Hit hard times and found the RX. Self esteem got better among all the fellow degenerates and left wing extremists. So life is better and it’s good having a safe space.

Love talking sports and breaking down games especially football. But nobody does that on here anymore. Nobody got time to hear about a 34 team playing a wide 9 getting gashed by inside runs with weak off ball Mike and Will guys. Just post a play and if it losses have thick skin because the I told ya so crowd will arrive. Don’t have a good record. Because your thread will get crushed with trolls. Never try and have an open discussion on a game to have open opinions on what side to play. Place had some legendary cappers here years ago.

Political? Voting is the dumbest things Americans do that changes nothing. If you didn’t learn that in high school when Tommy said vote for me I will make it free pizza Friday and handed out candy to never be seen again I don’t know what to say. Your vote don’t mean shit! You want votes to matter, then it should be voted on individually on state to State basis by THE PEOPLE. Other larger scale topics national vote. No more parties. From local (county) to (state) to (nation) should have the least amount of biased opinions explain what pro/con of voting x or z. People who don’t understand a topic won’t vote nearly as much. More problems will fix itself over time. If the people of California don’t want to send 40 billion to Ukraine then federal taxes of California will not be contributing to that 40 billion. If New York wants to then pony up. People go into politics for $ and a job that gets paid to just voice and opinion as labor. More people need some physical labor in life and away from behind the desk talking jobs. America got soft!

Both sides in a big club back door money laundering getting rich while idiots think they care about the people. Don’t care for most conservative opinions but absolutely despise anything that comes out the most hypocritical party on the left. Never seen such a disease ridden cult ideology in all my life. It’s almost as bad as people sending prayers think they are in some way changing or helping a situation. Boots on the ground if ya want to change something.

That’s my rant! Take the Chiefs -3 week 1! Take cardinals Under win total. They will be one of worst teams this year. Team has serious problems in trenches both sides of ball and a ego hurt crib midget QB. Coaching to GM to Team players don’t see eye to eye. Recipe for failure.

what was it you did in TV...I came from the same place but left it behind recently (Freelancer with an agent)...couldn't take LA any longer or the crazy back stabbing nature of the Biz...telling people to fuck off became my specialty toward the end days of m y time in the biz...Still get work calls but so far I have no interest in that race.

 

[sportsm60]

That response is about what I would expect from a panty wearing sissy boy libtard in Oregon. Carry on with your douche baggery!

Bozzie, what did you used to do in TV?

 

[Bozzie]

Bozzie, what did you used to do in TV?

started as a set construction guy..worked my way to lead , then quit set building
started doing greensman work on sets..setting trees and plants... doing tropical sets or whatever.
I was sorta in the right place at the right time and got a design gig on a huge grunge music video in Seattle working with big director from LA...Pretty sure anyone here knows the video.
From there I started designing sets for other directors and companies...did that for 20 years.

Had to move to LA , I still think that was my biggest mistake

still designing and building just not for TV anymore

what about you joy?

 

[MAGAking1]

Bozzie, what did you used to do in TV?

Made sandwiches and fluffed the crew on demand......

Oh wow! That's a cool line of work to have, very demanding I bet? How did you start?

Me, I started my line of work back in Montreal about 10+ years ago, I'm a marketing major and project manager.
