Where does that contempt come from? own up to who you are ideologically. It's very clear despite your refusal to debate the most disturbing topics. It isn't "clear" at all. I have no desire nor "need" to debate nor have contempt for anyone. You post wacky judgements all the time on things you know nothing about, and simply aren't true. I have no interest in talking about Jan 6 because doing so with folks who think is is bigger than 9-11 are people I don't think are rational, and therefore 'twould be a fool's errand. It was an action by a few crazy people. Just as riots in major cities are the actions of vandals. Not concerned, and certainly not motivated to discuss it with people who enlarge it to a lunatic scale. You post too much, and the more you do, the wackier you seem. 3 1

It's a fair assumption that you're not an academic and don't think highly of people who are: "To claim otherwise is the stuff of idiotic faculty lounge conversation expressed by people who have no idea of scale or scope" btw, university faculty lounges are largely a thing of the past.

Law, finance, medicine and engineering come to mind. But you've laid bare your contempt.. Doesn't that feel better? why would you want to rub shoulders at Wegmans with these awful people? why live in a liberal, college town.? Maybe because it's beautiful, affluent and safe like many college towns. Edited Thursday at 03:14 PM by Joe Ferguson forever

Why was Pence heavily pressured to refuse to certify the election. Why was he threatened repeatedly by the mob? Why did trump throw him under the buss? Was all that staged for some secret reason? Enquiring minds want to know... I know that deflecting is your MO, but lets circle back to the primary thing which has everyone seeing you as a nutcase. You said that 01/06 was worse than 09/11. That is beyond a liberal or even a progressive opinion. That is so far off the deep end that it takes away your credibility. Even if 01/06 was to be every bit as bad as the most vocal in the media and left are saying, it still did not have the impact of 09/11. Thinking so displays a lack of awareness beyond your personal thoughts and biases. It also displays an obsessive mindset that looks like being brainwashed or mentally ill to the outsider. I could almost get a brainwashed university kid who wasn't alive then having these delusions, but you have been around long enough to know better. There is no excuse. Before you talk to anyone about anything else, you need to address this comment and apologize to everyone for being so disrespectful to the thousands of victims and their families by minimizing their deaths.

You are clearly disturbed. I didn't disparage academics. I disparaged the faculty lounge atmosphere wherein people who have done nothing express strong opinions. I have never mentioned a thing in this thread about where I live, why I live here, people I know and have served, nor anything else related to my situation. One quick note though, since it is something you brought up. We do have a Wegmans here. After the Rolling Stone debacle falsely claiming a rape on campus, there was one woman from UVA who they targeted. Manipulated pictures all over the "claim." She sued Rolling Stone after the entire thing was proven to be as false as the Duke lacrosse nonsense. I ran into her in the produce section of our Wegmans, a few weeks after she was awarded the judgement. Very easy to identify. I told her I had never cared more about a single person getting a favorable judgement in a lawsuit. 1

You have used the word disparage but until now not the word “atmosphere “ to describe them. Why be disingenuous? Embrace your opinions, foul as they maybe. and yes, I’ve agreed it’s a lovely Wegmans full of mostly interesting people.

Translation, after a few more posts and the general subject being changed, you will spin it and try to tell everyone that you never said that. This will mean either denying it or twisting the words to try and tell us that you meant to say a less controversial form of it while claiming that we were all just too dumb to read it correctly. I am wholly familiar with the strategies of far left posters. 31 minutes ago, sherpa said: If there's water involved, which I doubt based on where you live and the time of year, be careful of double deeping that "deep end."

Is there a question here? The reason 1/6 is worse is that it came from within and there are many American disenfranchised citizens who sympathize with the treasonous act. If you think I’m alone in this mindset, go to a faculty lounge or the sub shop in the Charlottesville Wegmans. Look for someone wearing a “political science” hoodie.

If you think I’m alone in this mindset, go to a faculty lounge or the sub shop in the Charlottesville Wegmans. Look for someone wearing a “political science” hoodie. No question, just a statement that you need to apologize which I stand by. Your opening sentence tells me that like many other leftists, you falsely equate being pedantic and passive-aggressive with being academic and intellectual. That may work with others, but I see right past it. Only low-level Dunning-Kruger academics and "corvette with no engine" (high IQ with no social skills and emotional intelligence) brainiacs need to resort to that. Truly intelligent people (whether at universities or elsewhere) can carry on a meaningful conversation with most types of people while staying on the subject and avoiding deflection. As far as the rest, we just know that you are an idiot then. Thanks for confirming. Your 100% wrong and inappropriate hate driven take is like spitting in the face of the people who died that day and in the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You now have no credibility and are nothing more than a raging lunatic nutcase to us. You are an utter embarrassment and disgrace to this country in my eyes and nothing that you ever say will change that. The next time you think of bringing up treason, look in the mirror first. You are nothing more than an anti-American, Marxist, turncoat quack. You will always be the person who has such an obsessive and blind hatred for one politician that you are willing to minimize 09/11. The only things that you can ever do to change this is to apologize to the rest of us or never post again. Anything else just makes you a bigger loser. People like you are exactly why the rest of us were so disenfranchised with the system that they were even willing to bring Trump back and tell Harris to go eff herself in a landslide.

The nonsense of the creeps on Jan 6 is minimal compared to what occurred on 9/11. No different than any other riot, which we have had hundred of. No threat to our gov/democracy or anything else suggested. Just stupid. Further, this total "Charlottesville" thing is idiotic. The people who marched in that unite the right thing were out of towners. Not from here. They came here because of this nonsense of removing a Lee statue, which was stupid but did get removed. Further, for clarification, since you often post stuff without accuracy, I didn't "witness" it. I went to our church to do something, and when I came back, I drove through the County building area where the unite lunes were staging. I saw them and they were dressed, and signed in a manner that was insane. They were not from here. I got held up by local police so those nuts could cross the road and get to their march, which eventually led to the death of a woman. When I got home, I told my wife that this was going to get ugly, and events played out the way they did.
