Donovan Mitchell - We are lucky to have him

I agree.

That is one of the reasons that I think there is a silver lining to Trump winning. Between Trump and Bernie it made young people care about our government and voting, more than they have. It made so many people look into laws and policies that they dont like and want to change them. It rallied a lot of people to get involved. Maybe it wont make a difference but I think it might.

I didn’t care for Bernie’s socialist ideals but would like him much more than Clinton or Trump... he really got screwed.
 
I try to maintain an optimistic outlook on life, or find the silver lining of every cloud. I knew Trump was not what I would choose for a president, but I hoped his willingness to break political protocol and traditions would breath life into politics, open up discussion and debate about some of the protocols, and more or less force Americans to choose what we want to be. Perhaps, I was wrong to think he was challenging protocols for sound reasons. Sadly, I was also wrong to presume Americans would somehow find a common good and unite on some of the issues Trump tinkers with. I think the fear camps on both sides are firmly entrenched, with seemingly no way for a moderate from either party to make it to the final election.
You mistook “breaking protocol” for being a childish name caller. Incivility does not equal getting people to work with you. You can’t call people names for a year and then think they’re going to work with you. As much as I disagreed with Bernie on some things, he also challenged the protocol in a lot of ways and he ended up the one who got screwed out of the nomination, which tells you they were a touch scared of him, and wanted the career politician in Clinton that would just go along. Had Bernie won the nomination, he would have blown Trump out. His supporters hated Clinton enough not to vote, thought she would win, and didn’t bother showing up for many of them. Bernie challenged the career politicians and standard protocol as well, his party just screwed him out of the nomination for their career politician who’s turn it was.
 
Bernie, Hillary and Trump all sucked as options. Bernie seemed fresh, but his logic was flawed. You dont take from the many to improve the life of a few. Didn't anybody learn from the Affordable Healthcare Act (aka Obamacare)? Just make it a land of fair opportunity and either people make it or they struggle. You can't make somebody be successful if they don't want it.

Trump, socially, is just awful. However, our society and especially politics and media are absolutely horrendous. We are simply tearing this country apart with negativity and scare tactics.

Its not going to get better unfortunately. Politics and media are a poop show.

It’s a cousin of the absurd sports idiom that ascribes success to teams or players ‘just wanting it more’. As if desire is all that matters.

Success is a mix of hope, hard work, intelligence, hard work, desire, hard work, and you absolutely have to catch a few breaks on your way... you also have to work hard.

There are some situations that individuals are born into that make it a longshot that they will have success... but there is a lot of success that is under an individual's control.

This is a really fantastic story but can we all take a moment to realize that yahoo changed the girls name in their story to Maya. Utah names look to be a bit much for the national media
Kisses for Kycie was created for a little girl around where I’m from. She passed away quite a while back. This girls name probably is Maya.

I notice he rocks a few Utah city edition hats quite often now too. You have to love the kid, he’s just someone who enjoys life and is happy.

PS- Don has nice upper body strength, and I know those legs are springy, but he must skip leg day sometimes lol.
