hardly surprising but satisfying validation. I guess the MAGA's think all these D voters are mentally disturbed...it's false hope.

Name the flagship university — Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, among others — and the story tends to be the same. If the surrounding county was a reliable source of Democratic votes in the past, it’s a landslide county now. There are exceptions to the rule, particularly in the states with the most conservative voting habits. But even in reliably red places like South Carolina, Montana and Texas, you’ll find at least one college-oriented county producing ever larger Democratic margins.

Back in the ‘60s living in Buffalo it was a hot day. I was 8 and my friend was a couple years older. There were no pools nearby so my mom said use the hose to cool off. We thought that sucked, and my friend knew of a pool a few miles away at Shoshone Park. So I got on my 3 speed Schwinn and him on his new English Racer and rode there. Of course we didn’t tell our parents. Just leaned our bikes on a fence without locks. After a day at the pool we left to find my friend’s bike was stolen. Shortly after my parents came driving up after they figured out where we went. It was the only time in my life that I got spanked and sent to my room. 😩
great story! My friend and I were building a tree fort next to a new house under construction. Unbeknownst to me, my friend was stealing wood from the house for the fort. One day we came back to the fort to find his bike (which was parked on the ground below the fort) stolen. My friend got it back by apologizing to the contractor. Kids are so dumb sometimes.

If you see that as the only possible answer, then the only pertinent question in my opinion is why would you need validation?
therefore, anyone stating a fact is seeking validation?

Ditch problem with the arguments that come out of trumps mouth is that they play well with his bass but they don’t work well in court. He is now hiring lawyers that just go on to Fox News and repeat what he says. These are not arguments that are going to work in court.
Trump and his team tried so hard to push the documents case pass the election and that is not even going his way with a judge that he selectedThat trail is going to go on right in the middle of Trump trying to run for election and his base will come out for him and vote twice if they could but that’s not gonna work with the rest of the country
Fast forward to 2023 and Trump will be complaining that he didn’t get a fair shot at being elected because of the trial

Thank you, too. I think part of the challenge is I actually understand what I write, but your last couple contributions do not make much sense to me. If I reason weakly, I submit it's on you to provide clarity.
Well, then I splain it to you when asked. convertibility stringent? Fortunately for me, our minds work nothing alike.

thank you. You write somewhat eloquently but reason weakly. It's almost as if you don't actually believe what you write. "convertibility stringent"? like barbies car with stiff suspension?

Putin was afraid of Trump and that's why he didn't invade under him. Again when a "B word" would have gladly stood down.
Putin had no concern for Ukraine or really any country joining NATO because trump was dismembering it. Ukraine wasn't a threat as trump showed puti that by successfully extorting them. (no doubt, your good with a US prez doing that) The Russians also were likely not prepared yet for the war and it turns out they weren't, .even when they attacked.
6 minutes ago, Westside said:He was getting other nato countries to pay what they agreed to pay. We’ve been paying the majority of the cost for nato and using our military to enforce peace. Why do we need those other countries then?
Do you think we live in a vacuum? Far from it. I guess you thought the supposed wall would protect us from nuclear weapons? Any objective observer reading these threads would conclude that trump appeals to the uninformed, naive and those searching for easy but fictional answers to huge problems....I could probably get you some Ivermectin and HCQ....

Is it really a surprise that masks were being used during a pandemic
Let’s keep in mind that Covid was a new thing. It’s not like we’ve had an outbreak of it. In the past we were learning as we went.
By the way, I commend you for being a teacher. It is an honorable job, and could not have been easy during the pandemic
We’re you teaching in Florida?
That’s exactly what they should’ve been doing holding an outdoor service was a perfect solution
And folks did. Not so difficult. I know of a theater company that did plays at an old drive in- complete with bakelite speakers for the windows. Some are more clever and adaptable than others. On an even brighter note, I finally got my suit pants hemmed. No one was buying them during Covid. $70 for a wool sharkskin pattern suit from Jos A Banks. And $13 for the hems. There are always opportunities. I also heard some R pols bought stock in zoom before it ever hit...

JASON SPEAKS FOR ME
by John Hindraker
You probably know about the controversy surrounding country singer Jason Aldean and his song “Try That In a Small Town.”
Liberals attacked the song for being, among other things, “pro-lynching,” which of course is demented. But they succeeded in getting the song’s video banned by Country Music Television.
Aldean, happily, is unapologetic. On Friday night he performed a concert in Cincinnati and addressed the attacks by liberals. These two short videos (overlap by about a minute and contain, together, his comments. I share his sentiments.
(videos at the link)Aldean and his wife Brittany are well known and respected in Nashville, where they live. Candace Owens relates that when she and her husband moved to Nashville three years ago, knowing no one there, the first people who reached out to them and became their friends were the Aldeans. Candace doubts that Jason wants to lynch her.
Is cancel culture on the wane? It would be nice to believe so. But I think that people in academia and big business are still generally as fearful as they have ever been. The situation there is analogous to, say, East Germany in the 1970s. The liberals won’t actually kill you, they will just ruin your life and career. One thing we know for sure, however, is that there is no point in knuckling under to the mob. If they try to cancel you, do what Jason Aldean did: tell them to get stuffed.

You all seem to really like "demented". Should we do a mini mental status test on the board? Because I'm pretty sure that's what the "stable genius" was bragging about passing. Oh and "Dixie Chicks"....btw they were right. Aldean is not. Maybe you don't realize that there are more of us than you. But maybe you do and will keep trying to Jerry rig congressional districts or overturn elections on lies and deceit.

Obviously the carefully chosen words and meaning of bear arms, but then again since you only use a dictionary to play scrabble and boggle I can see why you would be able to just read a word to see if it’s a word and not understand a definitionYes. It's a problem. For you or me is the question. Sometimes we drink something like this while playing, then I don't do as well

I believe that I wrote this last week also, but it is dumbfounding how a simple statement can be so misunderstood
There is nothing ‘resentful’ about it.
And it is NOT about revolt.
Take your blinders off and read it again.
.
so are "bear arms" like those on a big forest animal? Otherwise I missed your point.

And while not exactly akin to slavery, at one time the Irish immigrants were at the bottom of the melting pot, and so many could only take civil servant jobs (thus Irish cops). They used those opportunities to springboard themselves into the mainstream of America. Another inconvenient truth for those peddling in race hate.
yeah, they weren't slaves. Some were indentured servants but I'll bet few of those became "lace Irish"...
