LOL, you don't remind me of my bad choices, but you do remind me of how blindly following a political faction is causing the rapid deterioration of our nation. Yes sir. I suppose we can just fall in line and accept that we can all have nothing, and be happy about it, or chalk it up to the cost of freedom. As they would like to have us believe...

Thanks, I didn't know that. What do you want me to say? I'm not the guy who can't get him out of his mind. What is it like in there? Do you keep hearing his voice? His name? When you close your eyes do you see the bad orange man? Point to the spot on the doll where he touched you...

Not for nothing, but you're the guy who cant keep his name out of your mouth....and mind. Its been two years already. Look at what's going on around you.

And.....I rest my case.

In spite of inflation and the rising cost of rent around the county, Donald Trump still flexes his economic prowess by continuing to live rent free in the heads of deranged liberals...😂

It has nothing to do with party. I didn't like either one of those presidents actually. Now that partisan politics is out of the way, where does that leave you?

Interesting, now you're about freedom? There has to be some internal conflict with that notion? Why are we the only country in the world that has a problem with being a sovereign nation? I'm all for lending a hand to other struggling countries, when we have our own affairs in order.

Yes, thank goodness. Not only is this war a direct reflection of his weakness, we get to compound it by spending US taxpayer dollars to a nation that he, and his son..... and brother, were in bed with. And in the coming months, all of Europe will be saddled with higher energy costs as the ruble gains on the dollar. A real win-win situation for everybody.

Just an observation. You seem to be so filled with hatred, that it becomes all you see. Its literally blinding. You stand firm with every issue based purely on what the party tells you to think, rather than forming your own opinion. You need to remove the hatred to even begin to have the ability to be objective. You have become exactly what it is that you think you are fighting against, and don't even know it. For your sake, I hope I am wrong and you are just doing this because you are being paid to.

You see it as crying because that is how you relate. I see it as calling it what it is. Trump made some blunders for sure. The difference is, some people can admit it. You can't.

I don't think it matters what side of the political spectrum someone is on to realize how truly bad this speech was. It was so bad, even if you watch it without sound, it sends a terrible message. Its hard to believe, that somewhere along the way, the people that put this together didn't realize how bad it was. Someone would have to be utterly brain dead to see this as anything but a failure. Photos of Hitler speeches look more innocent than this.

I was just going to say this LOL. Talk about coulda, woulda, shoulda...

That, or its straight out of the Dem playbook. They have a history of fabricating things like this, especially when it gets close to November. They continually deny that, but when was the last time you saw a liberal speaker shut down on a college campus? Conservative speakers, on the other hand, are routinely shut down.

He didn't, and no one can stop it completely. The wall wasn't completed for one, and that wouldn't stop it completely either, only make it much more difficult. He was very vocal about the opioid epidemic, and implemented a plan to cut opioid prescriptions.

That's cool and all, but you do realize that much fentanyl could fit in a backpack? Its also only a drop in the bucket compared to what is actually coming across the border. I guess you could compare it to a broken watch.

Sure, most kids don't like any part of politics. Their introduction is not obvious. Usually it has an emotional basis. Abortion, racism, LGBTQ, guns, etc. All being used as political tools, and each side is going to extremes to broaden the divide. If you lean a particular way on an issue, the label comes out. Its gotten to where people tow the party line without question any more. Remember when debates allowed people to communicate different viewpoints? Now they are just shut down.

Unfortunately, the younger generation is the target. They are always the easiest to influence. You see it all throughout academia and the media. It is a slow process that takes several generations of "brainwashing" to get to the desired result. Search for a video of a KGB defector named Yuri Bezmenov. Its an older video where he explains how ideological subversion is being used in our country. When you hear what he is saying, decades ago, and you look around today, it is frighteningly clear that this is exactly what is happening. Tell me this isn't exactly what is happening today. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrFdeWeexZj6cYNPsVXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?p=yuri+bezmenov&type=E211US105G0&ei=UTF-8&fr=mcafee&turl=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.WTaVff_BEkzxLJU4yasC2QHgFo%26pid%3DApi%26w%3D296%26h%3D156%26c%3D7%26p%3D0&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTEefbbApuaE&tit=Yuri+Bezmenov+-+Ideological+Subversion.+KGB+Defector+Interview.+Call+of+Duty+Cold+War+Trailer+1984&pos=3&vid=020534e1544507c427e07123b2af5a48&sigr=l4HGMwENaLzW&sigt=l_RGA7ljKgsl&sigi=qOb0u4eEwI2N

There is no doubt that this is happening. What we are experiencing now is a culmination of 30 + years of slow, intentional division, and it is working even better than expected. Social media has just helped to expedite the process a little bit faster. Divide and conquer would seemingly be an antiquated technique, but it works just as well today as it ever has. Its just been tweaked a little bit.

Well, in a sense we agree on quite a bit. We recognize the flaws in both parties. I disagree that the Dems have more room for difference of opinion. It appears to me that you have to dissent on any issue, you are labeled and rejected. Maybe its just the extremists that make it appear that way. The same argument could be made against the Right. I suppose a lot depends on your view of the media. I see them as painting an incorrect picture of conservatives. Correct me if I am wrong, but approximately 90% of the media is controlled by the left, and by about a half dozen people/corporations, and they are pushing narratives as opposed to facts. Or even flat out lying...unwittingly or not. This is a real danger, and it is very lopsided. We are also seeing a similar situation with academia. I have two daughters in college and one in high school. The influence on them is very evident. All of us form opinions based on information. If that information is incorrect, the basis of our opinion is then flawed. When we can't trust the people delivering the information, that is a big problem. It then begs the question, how do any of us know if we are right? I think it was Morgan Freeman that said "if you watch the news you are misinformed, if you don't, you are uninformed". I try to pan out and look at it from a world view, and what has happened historically. When you see what is happening here, right now, and compare it to other nations in recent history, it paints a picture that many of us don't want to look at, but if we keep ignoring it, that is likely where we are heading. This divide we are experiencing is 100% by design.

Exactly right, and its by design. The US cannot be destroyed from the outside. The world knows this. So now that we are divided, what comes next?... Even though we all know the answer to that question, we are still playing right into it as a nation. I guess we will find out soon enough. Just when we think politics couldn't get any uglier...

Says the top poster in this thread who argues with everybody 😂 Do you try this hard for attention in the real world?

Here you go cupcake. You cared enough to make the comment, but when I point out the obvious, you no longer care. How convenient...and typical Is this part of your therapy, or are you always this way? https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrijE9_oxNj680ka4RXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?p=full+biden+speech&type=E211US105G0&ei=UTF-8&fr=mcafee&turl=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVF.15q7kpH2hasW13kHEcWYGg%26pid%3DApi%26w%3D296%26h%3D156%26c%3D7%26p%3D0&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fvideo%2Fpolitics%2Fbidens-full-speech-on-threats-to-democracy%2F2022%2F09%2F01%2Fab61e311-96b7-4ef1-a956-b0dbd40d4250_video.html&tit=Biden's+full+speech+on+'threats+to+democracy'&pos=3&vid=3c71475074709da6113b58e194d51ea9&sigr=8AW4UxOaiosJ&sigt=EcM2x3eKiZOM&sigi=E92U.e7.HKVZ

Do you know why people only saw that? Because in the 25 minutes of speech, it was all in red background. Red was part of the backdrop? yes....the only part. You can't even acknowledge bad optics? You don't even have to blame your hero for that. You can dismiss it as a mistake by his publicity team. Of course, you just blindly follow....right into the river.

So, essentially, it was deceptive political posturing. That is definitely in their wheelhouse. The dialogue and imaging seem kind of risky, and even desperate. It seems like it would only be effective to the more radical part of the base.

So, he is using the system, the same system that is being used to go after him for 6 years, to his advantage? 😂 If only you could see yourself the way others do...😂😂😂
