    Cool. Did Gerald Ford say they were good people and have dinner with them in the midst of their highest controversy? 


    Or they dismissed as fringe bad actors? 


     

    And condemned by US leaders? 


    Condemned or not my point is anti-semitism (and racism) has been around forever and we are likely seeing more of it is because of social media’s ability to shine bright lights on it.

    Fake news!
    While his comments are typical hyperbole, Trump did not call for the “termination of the constitution” as your bold headline reports. Reading comprehension died somewhere along the way. 


    Trump is not the most eloquent of writers but yeah that’s not what he was calling for.

    Malibu to Palm Springs this past weekend without a care in the world. 👍I’ve had two 5 Series over the years so I knew I could rely on the quality of the vehicle. Go to the Palm Desert dealer and check out the i4….if they even have one. I’m guessing you’ll be super impressed. Step on the ‘gas’ and it’ll push you back in your seat! 


    Thanks for the advice but I don’t need any advice.  😁

     

     I’ve got 120k on mine and driving it until the wheels fall off.

    I bought the new all electric BMW i4….which is essentially a 4 Series with an electric motor. It’s reported to get 300 mile range on a full charge and so far that appears to be pretty accurate, although you’re told to set your charging limit to 80% to extend the battery life, which is rated at about seven to ten  years. Mine cost $53k (and yes I’m in the financial position to afford it). It’s a really great car. Super fast and incredibly smooth to drive. Maintenance costs are practically nothing. No fluids, or filters, or belts to change, and brakes last a really long time as the motor itself slows the car. 
     

    I wouldn’t hesitate driving it to San Francisco from Los Angeles. You can stop at a fast charge station somewhere along the route for fifteen to twenty minutes to stretch your legs and recharge. But for the vast vast majority of the driving anyone does you just charge it at home in the garage overnight. It’s super convenient. 
     

    I got it on somewhat of a whim just to try it out, and so far it’s a fantastic machine. 


    And they seem to me at this point to be good for local driving and commuting so you can charge over night in your garage overnight.  I’ve heard horror stories about long trips however due to lack of charging stations and the time it takes at some of them. 
     

    I have a 6-series and just got a new battery installed. Cost about $750.  I was just wondering how much to replace one in an EV.

    I can’t remember a Jews Will Not Replace Us chant at a racist rally in a major city in the 80s, 90s, 00s…and a president who said the rallyers were “good people.” 

     

    Nice work Big Blitz-ing this topic. 

     

    Just because you have no memory doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

    Ever hear of the Nation of Islam?

     

    And the ole “nice people” BS.

    I read a bit of that where some set of words caught my eye about this being a far right sub forum. I'm not going to waste me time looking at how long you've been here but you clearly have no idea of the history of this place. 

     

    Brief:

    10-12 years ago, I dunno ish then whenever was pretty damn amazing and complex to have both sides discussing things

     

    6-7 years ago it took a harder conservative bend when many hated the tea party, didn't trust the gop and realized democrats are pushing socialism.

     

    But that isn't to be confused with what the low brow idiots think - they weren't republicans or maga or the like. Most hated trump at first... At least.

     

    Those that fit that group ended up hating the government more than anything.

     

    Eventually through a lot of bull#### on this site a large faction left to have more civil discussion and leave PPP to the ones who destroyed this sub forum

     

    What's left are a group of idiots who drool over whatever headline is there on the left or right.

     

    There are maybe a dozen good posters on ppp. One I miss and haven't noticed is @Doc Brown. Always a reasonably balanced approach 

     

    but assclowns I don't even remember destroyed this place leaving it only to the left and right side folks who want to simply scream into the wind. 

     

    and 716 crying about it.... What a little *****. If this was the way the board was initially and designed to be he would have been tarred and feathered. 


    Pretty accurate assessment of this place.  Why I spend so much time here is beyond me.  I guess that’s what retirement does.  Right @B-Man ?  LOL

    Making up stories about words I didn’t say. How original for PPP. 

     

    I’m sure most Jewish people feel great about the rising acceptance of anti-Semitism in America.


    Is the rise and acceptable actually rising or is it a perception because with social media and the 24/7 news cycle it’s having a bigger and brighter light shined on it?

    Thank you for quoting me and making my point about how little time passed, ######.

     

    Re

    tard

    is the word auto censor


     

    Awwww isn’t that cute. You disagree with someone and you go out of your way to make sure I know what name you called me.   🙄

     

    So Jews in the US that are one generation removed are more sensitive to the sea of antisemitism?   I’ll have to run that by my wife.  She’ll get a kick out of that.

    Ignore it - it’s Jim’s built in defense mechanism.

     

    When he and the cult don’t like inconvenient facts they like to deflect.

     

    Your comparison made perfect sense. 

     

     


    So his comparison of the Holocaust and today’s sea of change makes perfect sense to you?   If this is how your mother taught you how to think critically she should be slapped.   😡

    Asking again: What do your Jewish friends say? 
     

    I know what mine are saying. They’ve never seen a rise of American acceptance of anti-Semitism like this and they don’t feel like there’s a counter trend, especially when it’s being normalized by leading politicians, entertainers, and some of the media. 
     

    Nazi-ism and the holocaust are not in most people’s lifetimes but many Jewish folk only need look back one generation to know victims of it. 


    And they would likely kick you in the nuts for making the comparison.

    I don't have numbers, and I'm not basing it on anything other than Musk trying to weasel out of his original offer, and the flow of advertisers out of Twitter. And the fact that it certainly wasn't a consistently profitable enterprise before he bought it, and the balance sheet is certainly worse now.


    I really don’t think he bought it to make money.  He bought it to do exactly what he’s doing now. Shining a bright light on the shenanigans that Twitter was involved in.

    Once again this month I paid nothing for gas. It cost me $12 to ‘fill the tank’ on my new electric vehicle yesterday. Not tryin to be an arse but I promised that I’d keep you abreast of my experience ….and so far I love it. 👍 The car is incredibly smooth to drive. 


    How much did you pay for it above a comparable gas vehicle?  What’s the life of your battery and what’s the replacement cost?  How much of a B word would it be to drive it north to SF or OR or WA?

    This story is not about Trump…it’s about making sure people have all the information they need to make informed decisions- whether it’s about elections, Covid, War, whatever the issue…information should NOT be censored by the government! 👍

     

    Life is about Trump with him.  It can't be good for him to be that angry at one person.  But then again neither can psychosis.

    Biden was recently caught on a  hot mic at a recent press conference/speech…When someone in the crowd chanted “4 more years”, Biden responded “I don’t know about that”…

     

    Interesting response, given that he has made it clear in the past that he intends to run…Gavin Newsom even backed out of a potential presidential run, backing Biden for 2024, because Biden wanted him to…

     

    Is the change of heart because of the upcoming investigations in the House? Something to keep an eye on for sure…

     

    It bogles my mind why Newsom said he's not going to run.  

     

    Well now that I think about it he's in a great position.  Why leave a state where 75% of the population worships you to take a job were 50% of the population will hate your guts.

    The former Speaker of the House says that while he opposes Biden’s policies, he can’t deny the accomplishments of the president’s party in the 2022 midterms

     

     “We dislike Biden so much, we pettily focus on his speaking difficulties, sometimes strange behavior, clear lapses of memory, and other personal flaws.” But in the end, Gingrich said, Biden’s record speaks for itself: “The Biden team had one of the best first term off-year elections in history. They were not repudiated.”

     

     


    Nice backhanded compliment Newt. Good job. “……and other personal flaws.”  😂

    You know I’m actually with Trump on this one. Let’s have a new election. It’s going to take a lot of work to pull this all together so maybe we should look at taking our time and doing it right.  Give it 24 months or so.  
     

    TRUMP 2024!!
