Yet, you followed my instructions like a good soldier. With time you’ll come to appreciate my direction.

No, he shouldn’t. Everyone with a shred of common sense knows that. I think even Tibsy knows that.

Nice, I appreciate the opportunity to mentor you and your ability to stand up on an issue.

For goodness sake Tibs, take a stand and be be bold. This pussyfooting around and indecision makes you looks weak and timid. I already acknowledged I might be a loser based on your standards. Talk to whoever has your nuts stashed in a jar and get ‘em back for a bit. Then, send the information on the criminal charges against Donald Trump. It’s absolutely possible the criminal charges are invisible, or written in that ink that has to be heated up to be seen. Nice talk.

No, but you may see things differently as is your right in this fine country. I mean you've come out hot with "Hey move to Russia!" and that's pretty powerful stuff. Now that we have the move to Russia and loser thing out on the table, what's the status on the criminal charges against Trump, the ones that you seem completely obsessed with and have assured us are forthcoming? Or is everyone in Washington still in on the grand conspiracy?

I am waiting for the charges you have assured us will come. Status, please?

Blind faith in government is not an admirable quality, Tibsy. Think. Ask questions. Look within. Russian climate would kill me. I'm thinking Boca when the time is right.

Welcome back from the brink, MD. We all get turned around sometimes.

You stink at haiku Tuesday: トランプはうまく機能しなかった リベラルな頭が爆発した ピエロショーが続きます Loose translation: trump acted poorly liberal heads exploded the clown show follows Domo arigato, Tibsy Roboto.

The seriousness of the allegation is where the magic happens. Remember, it's not that long ago that a ginned up allegation of collusion resulted in a ginned up allegation of obstruction and both lead to nothing. That nothing was something debated regardless of which side of the debate you were on. As everyone knows, something isn't nothing, usually, but if that something ends up actually being nothing, that's something altogether different. Our differences, Doc, binds us. I am surprised I have to tell you this.

Submitted, without comment. Ah, who am I kidding, I always comment. It's kind of cool to see you hop from one end of the self-absorbed superiority spectrum to the other in just a couple minutes.

:::Leh-nerd looks about, incredulous, asking no one in particular “Did the Muppet just lecture me on sexual dynamics and say ‘That’ll be that????’ Leh-nerd mutters “What the?”…followed by “You can’t just…?!” and finally “Oh, it’s on now!” To your first point, I never suggested reason and rational thought win the day for a high percentage of men where an opportunity for physical gratification is in play. “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” is a good listen in this regard, Mup, and sums things up pretty nicely. It was a modestly successful tune sung by this chubby guy out Texas in the late 1970s. Let me know if you haven’t heard the song and I’ll check my LPs, toss it on a cassette and mail it to ya for a listen 😉. I agree the woman carries the full weight of the pregnancy, and acknowledge that some guys walk. It’s a problem that has to be addressed legally, and that costs time and money. Personally, I think you can tell a lot about the character of a man by how he treats the children in his life. On to Robert Veitch-Van Winkle…what I can say without vomiting is that some of his grand ideas are already in play…DNA testing, legally enforceable child support etc. The rest is pandering balderdash of the highest order, and presumptuous in the nature of certain older male baby boomers who only can see women as the weaker sex. He also should read up on laws dealing with the disposition of one’s estate. By the way, on the deadbeat dad issue. I used to think I knew the story until a friend of mine found out his wife was cheating on him, and she subsequently wanted a divorce. The guy is a good dude, with a good job, and a good father. He didn’t want a divorce. We got to taking one day about a father’s obligation, and he told me that in his case, his obligation was based on his gross pay, that is to say, in part on money he simply did not have. Of course, the government takes its non-negotiable cut before anything happens, and in his case, and as a result he was left with very little to live on. His opinion was that more than a few “deadbeats” are victims of a system based on unreasonable demand unmanageable calculations. This matter is now officially closed. Later skater.

Sure, I’ll print it…if I can get my time machine to visit 1988. Jeesh dude, think twice: Once for clarity, twice to save the planet. I’ll PDF it and move the laptop near the fridge.

You said initially “…more educated, higher income, and younger population…”. Now, it’s the “highest income Americans”? You meant Bill Gates’ kid? I agree she probably won’t look for loan forgiveness.

Solution: Maybe the abortion clinics should be built next door to the Student Loan Forgiveness Soup Kitchen?

I get that, Mup, but the issue is already considered from both the male/female perspective. Respectfully, you're not raising an issue any guy with common sense hasn't considered prior to engaging in the tango (and you must have had some interesting days at the dance studio ). Put another way, the argument that an unplanned or unwanted and significant, life-altering potential isn't something that take most men by surprise. I really struggle on this issue. All I'm really trying to do as a voter and citizen is to be true to what I feel is right. I know for me, I'm pro-choice up to the point I become pro-life.

You're riled up early today, Miss Muppyet. I disagree with you conceptually about the court having the 'audacity' to rule on Roe v Wade. It's no secret this has been a contentious issue and the question about whether or not the original ruling was appropriate has been around for 50 years. Our kind and benevolent representatives have had 50 years to clean that up. Why haven't they? As for financial responsibility of a testicular vessel for a subsequently conceived and birthed person, I am unaware of any regulation suggesting 'It's not your financial problem, Chief, but nice pull.". I think most rules and regulations suggest quite the opposite. In response to your question---I'm going to say this right now, Mup. I am completely against testicular profiling or any 'stop, pop and frisk'. I'd say "Out of my cold dead hands", but chances are it's going to end up that way regardless.

What’s a “hardliner”, Andy? It’s a descriptive word, of course, but in the abortion discussion can have multiple meetings.

It’s Biden-esque, I’ll grant you that. Still, with the new legislation recently enacted, convincing birth people to put off delivery until the 21st year seems unreasonable even if for the grater good.

There are many, many posts I don’t comment on. Some I don’t see. Some I don’t want to get involved. Some aggravate me. Some I just don’t care. Some I ignore. When you opine on every post, every time, come back and let me know. Spoiler alert, my response will be the same as above. Where did I say you were wrong? Assuming you’re referring to the 🙄 , that was about your overly dramatic post about selfish behavior, bravery, and sitting in judgement of others. I think if we were to look at the big picture, we see a mishmash of inconsistency from leaders, employers, individuals and those judgey judgers of which you speak. People are people, and do things for reasons that make sense to them. I agree with you about corporate autonomy and at-will employment. It’s all I’ve ever known career-wise.

🙄 What kind of Mickey Mouse question is that, Frenkle?

Disney has been accused of systemically underpaying employees, underpaying and undervaluing it’s female employees, and dodging property tax that would help the communities it serves. https://www.sfgate.com/disneyland/article/25-000-Disneyland-employees-are-suing-Disney-for-16355821.php https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/apr/03/disney-company-women-pay-gap-lawsuit https://www.cbsnews.com/news/does-disneys-luxembourg-tax-strategy-go-too-far/ I suppose one way to take the liberal heat off is selectively partner on watershed issues like this one. The math likely works in their favor in a big way.

I don’t set the rules on who/who doesn’t get booted, of course, but I’m not always sure what standards are followed. As for DR, I enjoyed many of his posts, he was correct on issues w/r to Trussia long before it was decided. I enjoyed communicating with him, and personally don’t think the board is improved or somehow better without him here. Be that as it may, there’s a difference between remembering and fixating on who(m) is actually DR incognito on an endless rant of crazy, and constantly rambling about the other places he may now be posting. But, I get it. Some people like to look at the old high school yearbook and remember when, or retire and then come back daily to hang around the water cooler.

I’m going to jump in here, Goat. There are a couple posters on the opposite side of the spectrum that seemed completely fixated on the long departed poster Deranged Rhino. You could not go more than a day or two without a reference, or accusation that someone was the reincarnation of that poster. It bordered on creepy, and when I say bordered, I actually mean it was well past creepy. Obsession is probably the best word. In response, @DRsGhost responded with a screen name change. That caused some initial chaos as the afore-mentioned posters struggled to figure it all out. I thought it was actually pretty well played, on par with the poster who used to pretend to agree with a conservative point, then typed “Hoax”. For whatever reason, it was as funny to me the 700th time he used it as when he did it the first time. Hoax. (But it was funny).

Sounds outrageous and deserving of mockery. https://nypost.com/2018/08/19/brennan-doubles-down-on-trump-treason-comment/ Here’s an outrageous claim by the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency that seems substantially more dangerous and accepted as a mainstream concept. It was conspiracy peddling at its worst. It seems the hubbub over a marginalized congressional candidate distracts from larger, systemic issues in our government. What say you about John Brennan’s x comments?
