Of course. Thank you. I did not know this word before today. What a gift the internet can be.

And yet, here you are again.

Again, it's fascinating that a poster could enter a political subforum, hop on a soapbox about tone and rhetoric...and completely ignore 8 years of political warfare waged against Trump (and Trump supporters) by the democrat party and its leadership. Personally, I can understand a discussion on Trump and the language he uses to describe opponents, and can understand how a supporter of democrat ideals might be perfectly comfortable with their leadership declaring certain voters deplorable and irredeemable and the like. Some people can be completely blind to the issues with their sacred cows, so you point it out and move on. But the door kicking, armed raids, the arrests on new and unusual charges, the complete acceptance that certain kinds of removing and holding classified documents is really pretty cool, but other scenarios result in a life sentence, the squeezing of people to attempt them to invent testimony to harm Trump....and implying by default that all represents no big deal, man, that's out there.

Not surprising, he takes sort of a lazy approach to trolling. As for the donation, he seems to be a sort of typical hypocritical liberal where his charity starts and ends with himself. Congrats on the accomplishments with your vineyard. My wine knowledge starts with the brand of Pinot Grigio my wife drinks, and ends if the liquor is out of stock or does not carry it.

4th apparently thought Top Gun was a documentary, so there is that. It explains his confusion in another thread where he wondered how Maverick could be a naval aviator and be working in that Impossible Mission task force at the same time.

Maybe, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party partnered with a foreign national looking to impact the outcome of our election process. Turns out that was no big deal to many, many democrats. Bill Clinton paid a sh-t ton of hush money to settle a sexual assault case, and was one of the main faces of dem leadership pitching Kamala Harris as the next big thing. There are countless other stories in play here, and I guess tine will tell on who gets disqualified and who does not.

The record shows 28,000 people and counting contributed to the legal defense fund of a lunatic who stalked and murdered a man by shooting him the back. I’d characterize those folks as part of the Jonesian tree, comfortable with his stated preference with resolving political differences as he sees fit. There’s no moral high ground here, Frank.

And people were watching you watch others who watched others still. Too many watchers, not enough doers.

I do recognize the effort. This is indeed a step forward, and like you I simply hope it’s the start to the of so much suffering. As for emperor status, we can agree to disagree. However, you’d have much more high ground if JB didn’t waive his mighty hand and clear up a decade worth of criminality for those in his royal family. Again, that was after all sorts of authoritarian malfeasance by D leadership.

Didn’t you already post this, Skipper?

Let’s just hope he keeps the number of liberal senators that they wire tap to 8 or less. 0-8 is like, cool, but 9 plus is wicked authoritarian.

Good for you Andy, you got most of the way through it before falling back on dictatorial stuff. I presume you’re talking about when Trump had his DOJ raid Biden’s private residence, Inna-Fogg A, searching for classified documents and trying to put him in jail for life. Of course had Biden actually gone to jail, he would have been fine because he beat the snippens out of every gang leader from Scranton to Philly when he was younger, while earning a 4.0 in law school, graduating tops in his class and flying a lunar mission to Mars with Buzz Armstrong. True story. It’s fascinating looking at the recent history of the Democrat party and hear Liberal voters whine about authoritarianism.

Jiminy..you forgot to be outraged the first time!

I recall quite a few conversations with certain liberal legal folk here about the appearance of impropriety with Biden sniffing around thieve issues in close proximity to his dopey son. The feedback was that everyone in the international community knew there was one guy—and apparently one guy only in the country that needed to be dealt with. He was THE billion dollar man. It made no sense then, and with the benefit of 5 years of Biden/dem behavior in the rear view, it seems pretty clear Biden was doing business on behalf of Biden. I guess it goes into the category of “special rules for electeds.”

I have a friend born and raised in SF. Liberal fellow, funny, smart and from a wealthy family, and we’ve disagreed about politics many times in the past. Admittedly it’s been a while since we talked about San Francisco but he was quite disillusioned at the decline in standard of living he had seen of late last time we spoke. Garbage, trash, drug addicts, human excrement all over the place, and squarely placed the blame of extreme liberal policies. Perhaps they’ve fixed those issues, or maybe they’re kept out of view of visitors v allowing the locals to suffer, but how they even allowed it to get there was enough to keep me from voting for those people.

I always feel like the time he never spent with Susan Collins is time he wished he could never get back. It would make a good country song.

I'm a few days in and still trying to unpack what you're saying. All I can take away is that you don't think everything from one side or the other should be referred to as a 'hoax', though in this case you think that allegations of surveillance of GOP Senators is, indeed a hoax, that is to say, it never happened. Then, you refer to my 'mental gymnastics' when what I offered was the only truth we all can agree on: 1. Biden didn't release files. Trump has not released files. 2. Using your logic about 'way more to it', I offered that Biden would have burned Trump/GOP if possible. I further offered that Trump would have burned Biden/Dems if possible. 3. Since neither Biden nor Trump released, it stands to reason that either there is nothing in the files, or enough that either side releasing data results in mutually assured destruction. I'm open to your view on what I am missing here, but it seems to me you've decided to hyper-fixate on the politics of word tracks and accusations to the detriment of applying simple common sense to this issue.

It’s not for you to question. Blaze your own trail, follow your own path, and apply introspection when possible. —Leh-nerd 4:11

I think for taking off and landing aircraft, Drew. What are you hearing?

Latina lady? prICE? Goodness.

Yeah, that was pretty freaking awesome, to pit taxpayers on the hook for allegations of wrongdoing on a personal level. Same old story—- people like Spitzer, Cuomo, Schneiderman and now James are in charge of securing the greater good, and seem perpetually inclined toward wrongdoing.

I have known a few people who had fires in their home and to my knowledge, the president has not been involved in the investigations. It starts on a local level, and then goes from there. Now maybe the FBI was involved quite discretely in every one of those cases (some of these people are Catholic, and we know how the last admin’s DOJ felt about those people), real cloak and dagger under the radar stuff, but I do not think so. Your latest theory is that our President Trump actually set the fire based on some imagined track record? That’s nuts.

That’s what she says it was about, but then again, she was deemed ineligible to receive the honor of walking at graduation. She can address that issue by releasing a full accounting of the matter. I’d think the attack on her credibility would be the exact point of attack that would be followed given her graduation issues. These races can be decided by narrow margins, and you want to reach people that might have an issue on that sort of thing. It’s especially appropriate because she’s targeting those who released the information and because she’s done her best to position herself as the hero of the tale.

Wow, you took that in an unexpected, cruel and completely unhinged direction. I’ve been trying to follow the updates on the fire, and all I can find so far is that officials are urging patience while they sort through evidence and statements, and that they do not believe arson was the cause of the fire. You’ve characterized it as an “attack” on a judge, and wondered if the fire was the result of “terrorism”. What are you seeing that has you leaning that way? Oh—just to clarify, if you hear officials are looking closely as a “Mr. Coffee”, admittedly that can be a little confusing for some liberal voters. Read up on that one a bit before jumping to conclusions.

It’s important to remember that while Fergie was a bit slow to call for Jones to drop out, there was that confusion on Jones that, per former VP Candidate Kaine surmised was really “hacked off” about something when Jones called for the multiple murders, suffering, and urination on graves issue. Better to do a little research, get the context on all this stuff before deciding if such comments are outrageous or hurtful in any way.
