I will sit on my deck, light a fine cigar, sip some whiskey, smirk, and look forward to the absolute ***** show that will ensue in cities. It will be delicious! Then, can we please defund welfare?

Tends to be why the dumbest lowlives and HS-drop outs fill the ranks, coast to coast. Expand Whoopsie. Busted. Anyway whatever. Back to this new age community protection team. Give us some ideas as to how they will operate.

And I love that you cannot possibly conceive of how it is a very good idea. All the Chicken Littles, I'm very much here for you. Please, please... show us your fear, you little chickadees.

Capco Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 On 6/7/2020 at 11:10 PM, GregPersons said: Yeah I don't care. Say what you are, then, or don't. I've seen every member on this PPP board do this little game — "I'm not a conservative. I just vote Republican on every thing except maybe one or two issues. I'm a real independent." Well if you're here on this board, and you're comfortable.... yeah, you are. Seems like being a conservative / racist / Republican / good ol boy has become so shameful, nobody admits to it anymore Expand For real though man, I don't think Crayola is a right winger. Pretty sure I've liked some of his posts in the past iirc. I get your point but in this case I don't think it applies to him if memory serves me well. I might be mixing him up with another C-named poster though. 1 1

Expand Saw that post on Facebook today. That exact same verbage but in picture form. Better choose a better place for your information. My wife babysits for a NYS Trooper and Border Patrol wife husband team. She has a Master's Degree and 8 months of Trooper School then 1 year of OJT. He has 12 years in the military and 5 months of school for BP and 1 year of OJT. Both were seperated from their families for that time.

Expand Sorry I was just bored waiting for dinner (Italian sausage and pasta btw, @Sig1Hunter ?) and used that opportunity to butt in. To answer you in the simplest terms, I'm voting for Biden because he is the more left-leaning candidate. Every presidential election I've voted in since 2008 (I became eligible in 2007) has been on that premise. I'm a lefty. 4 1

Expand Yes, Bernie would've been the better candidate, no doubt, and he wasn't given a fair shake in either primary. That's a separate issue. But I will say that Bernie would not have been much better leading this moment (better, yes; much better, no). His handling of race was never his strongest suit, and his inability to successfully persuade Black America sank the nomination as much as DNC/corporate interference. This is something that goes beyond any one presidential term. Ferguson was under Obama, and his response to that also sucked. That doesn't excuse Trump for being worse, just that he's not the only source of the problem. 1
