Excellent post. Very well reasoned.Thank you.

All the losing is starting to take a toll. Hang in there, kid.

No. Surely you have morality standards for higher ranking government officials. I’m just asking that you share them. You clearly have no problem with lying based on the knob polishing you did for Tim Walz. also - nobody believes adultery to be a virtue. Sadly, it happens. You have proclaimed on this board your own morality. Perhaps forgiveness is part of what makes you superior. Who really knows. Maybe it’s just that politics makes you excitable.

What are your morality standards for higher office/cabinet positions?

That’s what 4th&d0ng says! I’m not bringing that up to be insulting. Just pointing it out. Have a super day big fella!

It’s going to be a difficult time for you the next four years. Maybe even longer. You should probably subscribe to The Great Jen Rubin’s new venture. It will serve as a safe space for people like you. All my best, big guy!

Earlier it was about the law and the code. You’ve now arrived at a different place. You should look up what Nixon did and see if it causes you similar upset. Unlikely, as all this is faux outrage from the start. If Texas lowers the flag again on Jan 21 will that still leave you in a tiff? It’s a possibility you know. Maybe even a likelihood.

It’s been a rough go for you (specifically you). People of your worldview are on the fringe and being shoved further in that direction every day. You (specifically you) have been reduced to whining about invasions of Greenland and Canada, flag poles, and the hiring practices of the LAFD. Hang in there kid. You’ll emerge from that bubble one of these days. a question - if your multifamily vertically stacked urban living quarters are burning up and you are about to die, do you care what the fireman there to save you looks like or what his/her politics are? Me neither. I just hope he or she is a strong and brave mf. Hard to believe that orientation/gender would play a role in their hiring. That’s the world you advocate for. Representation being important and all.

If you are going to make a claim like this you should back it up by highlighting where I have done what you say. I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for such a thing.

Are you embarrassed about not knowing the flag code but being hysterical about it anyway? You should be.

I gave your prior post some thought and will admit to being inspired to do better. I will follow in your kind and caring footsteps. Thanks for the reality check, buddy!

You have filled the role of the late Billstime rather admirably - minus the memes (thankfully) but also minus the ability to construct a coherent sentence. Keep plugging.

Killer material! Keep it coming!

U.S. News and World Report ranks each state on a wide variety of categories. In the most recent assessment, California ranked dead last in opportunity, dead last in affordability, 47th in employment, 47th in energy infrastructure, 46th in air and water quality, 45th in growth, 42nd in public safety, 42nd in short-term fiscal stability, and 37th in K–12 education. The Tax Foundation ranks California 48th in its most recent State Tax Competitiveness Index. For five straight years, California has ranked highest in people moving out of the state, according to U-Haul’s data. BankRate found California was the 47th-best state for retirement. California ranks fifth-worst in roads and third-worst in drivers, second-highest in accident rate, and second-worst in drunk driving. Florida SUCKS

I am unable to work up any outrage over it. Nixon once raised the flags early in celebration only to lower them after. Set aside your faux outrage for a moment and consider: The U.S. flag code lays out parameters for lowering the U.S. flag to half-staff, including a 30-day period for current or former presidents to cover flags at federal government buildings and their grounds, as well as at U.S. embassies and other facilities abroad, including military installations and vessels. Is it your belief that Abbott is in violation of something? Seems like you are railing about flag code without really knowing what the flag code says. How embarrassing. That a young progressive would gleefully ignore immigration law only to get his/her panties twisted over flag code is good comedy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Minutes_Hate Today’s topic - flag poles. Keep the outrage going but don’t burn yourself out. HE hasn’t even taken office yet.

Unbelievable

We’ve talked about your propensity to go full Tiberius. Fight it, kid. It’s a HORRIBLE look.

And I wouldn’t expect you to understand that in a situation of life or death, no one gives two sh*ts what the person looks like that is saving them.

I don’t speak for the Maga community. I don’t care what the chief does outside of the job. When I see the LA fire department put out a video imagining that people want to be saved by people that look like them, then I have a problem with that sort of idiocy. Hire people that have what it takes to get a very hard job done. No need to prioritize based on feelings don’t you think? Hope you get out of your progressive bubble one day. Being in there 24/7/365 is not good for your brain.

These are the people nitwits like 4th, tibs, and roundy are going to be quoting? Hoo boy.

Constant use of the racism/sexism/transphobia/homophobia/xenophobia card, which is the one you play exclusively, deserves insults in return. It’s that lame.

Written like you have zero real-life experience outside of your progressive bubble. Sad and embarrassing.

I think the it should be in the job description for the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America that he can disappear without notification if he gets sick. I can’t imagine anyone having a problem with that. Thanks for talking some sense into me.

I just hope he doesn’t go AWOL for 5 days like his predecessor. Grounds for termination if you ask me.
