Part of that deal included establishment Biden.

One critical difference, then, is that most Trump supporters voted for an outside the beltway candidate to try and change things, while those on the left fully embraced the embodiment of the swamp with a 5 decade insider. That they concurrently rage about the state of our world, injustice and the like makes for interesting dialogue when you can find a liberal not screaming “cult” into the wind.

Oh, I see it. The MSM issue is loss of revenue and what appears to be a dying business model. The failure to recognize news and information is shaped by agenda, political or profit-driven, is what occurs at the consumer level, even with…wait for it…editors giving a thumbs up or thumbs down.

I think if you extend this perspective to traditional media sources, you're right on the money. The illusion of a free press is that it's actually corporate press, with corporate affiliations and everything that goes with it. Consider the agenda, consider the relative win ratio of the publication (Which outlets accurately reported on Russia collusion, considering language and tone of articles, the accuracy of what they were told by their sources deep within, and what they decide not to report).

Hmm. "I just be letting people cap. If them lies help you sleep better tell em big dawg," Checkmate. Hello “Karlos”….or should I say Mr. Diggs?

This is the Biden path, Hawk, that gave the nation Trump. Christie is another in a long line of politicians paying lip service to a problem they clearly don’t want to solve, trashing a guy who at the very least moved the needle in an attempt to solve it. Christie is a blowhard, a chubby version of Joe Biden, or the late John McCain, or Harry Reid and the like.

I agree, but I don’t believe anyone asks anyone anything. If someone chooses to share, they do. It does lead to some cringeworthy moments though. Apparently one senior vp was looking to dive deeper into a conversation with a virtue signaling mindset, and it became quite uncomfortable. Deek, you’re talking to a guy who didn’t like getting shaken down on United way corporate appeals many years ago, so I get your perspective. Times change, and it’s not my journey. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ok, so Trump’s character issues are longer than Biden’s in your opinion. Fair enough. It’s good to have standards. Is there a point where the predatory behavior and victimization of women by a democrat would bother you? Or, is there a point where enough is enough, and you would be outraged that one of your preferred candidates claimed falsely that one of your other candidates was guilty of violent assault? I don’t understand you here, and while I’m not quite ready to call you Milk Carton Andy, why are you struggling with this issue?

Thank you, the feeling is mutual. You’re the architect of many sound arguments. The company my son works for prides itself on its forward-thinking approach to employment. It’s a big part of who they are, and whether it works or not is probably in the eye of the beholder. My son volunteered for the role locally (NYS and into parts of New England), he thinks it’s an important part of his career. In his role, he’ll schedule discussions, work on projects that outreach to LBGT employees, things like that. He’s a good planner and a creative thinker, plus he has a good heart, so it suits him. He’s not involved in hiring, but I’d suggest the company thinks their package is all about hiring and retaining the best people.

You’re a Biden loyalist, among the most ardent on the board. Your response here is yet another example of your unwavering devotion to protecting the shield.

Andy, I’ll ask you a question that never seems to get answered by Biden loyalists. Joe Biden was accused of inappropriately touching nearly a dozen women, and he subsequently acknowledged doing so. He was also accused of sexual assault, which he denied. His then-opponent, Kamala Harris, acknowledged the problem and stated she believed the women and accusations of sexual assault made against Biden. Is there a “classic scumbag” in this story? Either Biden, the accused groper, or Harris, who believed the accusations?

When my son was in high school, I received a phone call at work from a concerned teacher. She sounded an awful lot like the lady describing the “unruly behavior” in this video clip. She said she knew I was an involved and active parent, and that I would want to know of my son’s behavior. Turns out she had to leave class, and she made an announcement that no one was to close the door as she would be unable to get back in….the door locked from the outside. As she exited the classroom, someone closed the door. She told me she heard what sounded like my son’s voice talking with the class as laughter ensued. As I waited for the next part of the story, she said “I thought you would want to know.”. I thanked her for the call, told her I would speak with him when I saw him later that day, which was the second to last day of school….in his senior year. I was able to keep it out of the news as well. I guess I’m not surprised when middle school kids act like middle school kids. I guess I don’t see the direct connection from the actions outlined to hate and bigotry. I guess I think most of these kids (those who participated and those who were unruly) probably turn out to be productive members of society. I think the school should address unruly behavior, talk about the implications of destruction of posters, and chalk it up to middle school behavior. The parents of the children involved have an opportunity here as wel, assuming this isn’t a scenario where the school decides the parents need to be boxed out. Good news to report—10 years on, my son is a productive member of society, very well thought of by his employer, spearheads the diversity and inclusion program of his company’s local network, and to my knowledge has never maybe/possibly/probably closed another door on a senior member of his team. Crisis averted.

I hate to see it, but I also think it should be said that iron sharpens iron. I think they work it out and we push onward, Mup.

I can’t be completely sure, but if this is true, Stef could well be cappin.

He’s laundering money for the cartel. Don’t you have netflix?

Inherently and exceptionally dangerous line of work. I’m happy your brother is recovering but holy crap, what a life changing turn of events. It’s amazing no surgery is required! Off the top of my head, knowing a few tree guys: A guy working on a property I own was on a line with another guy, torquing on a smaller tree while another guy was in the air, cutting. The line guy moved a bit for better torque, snapped his ankle and femur. Ironically just saw him the other day and he told me it was painful af. Same guy told me earlier in his career, a guy up in a tree was cutting near the top, small section of trunk and branched fell wrong, went between his legs, severing arteries in both legs. Bled out on the way down. Kid went into a wood chipper used by the tree company 5+ years ago. Day laborer, 21 or so. Shirt got caught. Guy I know was cutting a small tree with a chainsaw, hit a chain link fence, saw kicked back and took a notch 75% of the way through his shin. @Johnny Hammersticks if you have any hesitation at all, hire a pro.

I wouldn’t have thought attributes could be insulted, but if they can, that was not my intent. Go education! Good luck with the flooring.

It was an imaginary family, and as they are a figment of my imagination, I can assure you they took no offense whatsoever to my comments. In fact, Lil Frankish is doing very well in school--#HighHonors #AP Classes, and Francescaish is an absolutely joy wanting to do everything better than her older brother!#CompetitionDanceTeam #StraightAsinPlay #STEMonster! And don't even get me started on the fictional Mrs. Frankish--smart, strong, and sassy, they say she reminds people of Queen Latifah in The Equalizer, a bad-ass crimefighter not afraid to be a lady when the time is right.

Sure. Some people complain when others raise concerns about election integrity, but are perfectly comfortable with actions deliberately designed to spread misinformation by members of the IC. They whine about loss of trust in the system, by directly contributing to actions that erode trust in the system. I'm not surprised when a Kemp, BillSy, Tibsy or you display that sort of hypocrisy, but I was surprised that Frankish would respond as such. Kudos to you, btw, for not understanding my post and pushing ahead with the preemptive down vote anyway. 🥳

Frankish...this seems an odd response from you. You wrote eloquently on Barr, and his philosophy and approach as it related to government yesterday. You mentioned you worked in government--is it standard procedure for leaders of the Intelligence Community to spread misinformation to shape an election? For the media to run the story unquestioned? Is that what makes it kinda funny? Do you go home tonight and tell Mrs. Frankish the great joke you made about the American propoganda machine, meanwhile telling the kids, Frankish Junior and Francescaish to make sure to study hard, get good grades, and tell the truth mostly unless they really, really want something? This is yet another example where people moan and kvetch about decency, dignity and the sanctity of our elections by the other guy and clearly support the complete destruction of any faith in the election by theirs.

He Him?

One of the great unanswered questions of our time, Westy. Of course, Biden and the dems have had control of the process since 1/6 and we know virtually nothing about how a bunch of riff raff in bison pelts over ran the place in about 15 minutes.

You’re responding to a post I sent to another poster, genius. I read somewhere that extremists like you create keep a filing system to keep track of their impotent rage. Do your own thing but a couple folder suggestions: Hypocrisy, Blatant Hypocrisy, Generalized Indignation, Righteous Indignaton, Feigned I’m outraged because… Things I don’t want to talk about… The OJ Trial My Posts The Posts of Others Why they are different —-This will get you noodling it all out. Make it your own, Kemp.

And Biden waived the damn insurance too!!

And look what they did, the Uhaul guys—they made it look like Biden was actually the one removing top secret files when he was a senator and VP over 15 or 20 years, when obviously it was them.
