Actually you’re right around the target but as usual you have the wrong perspective. American’s love easy money, love consumerism, divorce is almost a right of passage, people cheating on their spouse is pretty common, and the attempt to avoid debt recklessly incurred via bankruptcy laws is exceptionally common. People take cash payments when possible to avoid the tax man, and when mom and dad get old, they shelter assets in family trusts so mom and dad are the public’s problem while the kids walk off with the goods. Joe Biden and every other D candidate ran on a platform that included as a lynchpin the promise to relieve an enormous amount of debt from the households of very well-educated people perfectly able to meet their obligations, and the truth is millions flocked to vote for him in return. The soup kitchen of the near future will be in a country club, serving people who live in households with oversized mortgages, a bmw and a beemer in the driveway with kids who followed the same dopey route to excess—high tuition, high expense, no plan whatsoever as how to pay it but lining up to beg for relief so they can keep their iPhone. In that regard, DJT is an awful lot like the folks who hate him but can’t see the obvious similarities in approach. Then again, they think someone else should carry their financial load. He’s actually uniquely American—certainly as much as folks who’ve declared bankruptcy for financial incompetence or lining up for the govt to compel someone else to cover their nut—he just lives a better life and the numbers are bigger.

We don’t have to agree, don’t have to be civil, and life will go on. That said we can try, right? The fact is that I only commented on the content of the meme, ya knucklehead. For what it’s worth, applying the most basic of reading comprehension skills shouldn’t be construed as bending over backwards by anyone. Here’s an example. You indicated I was “bending over backwards”. You didn’t say “blending over backwards”, “bending dover backwards” or “bending over blackbirds” even though some of the words sound similar because it would make little sense. So, if you and I were together in a crowd and you mocked me for understanding basic English by saying “Look at Lehn, he’s bending over blackbirds!!” people would laugh at, not with, you. I wasn’t even laughing, I just pointed out if you’re going to trash someone with a sickass meme, you should think it through. Maybe in the future send it out and then just tell people “I really meant “croc”, like the shoe!”. People failed you, bro.

a “lifelong adventurer and lover of the outdoors”

I’m a nature lover, albeit usually from afar. I understand that bears are not inherently mean or evil people, and that the debate between nature v nurture will rage on in perpetuity. Still, as a society, we need to be able to move to a place where with one voice we say “It’s ok to be mad at a bear who munches on your life partner like a happy hour appie at Friday’s.”. Not all bears, not every bear, just THAT bear. -
Insider, part of the elite, riding her father's coattails. He was lambasted as VP, the war for oil guy, young men and women dying for bush and his cronies to profit. bush leaves office....nothing more to be said. cheney leaves office, nothing to be said. Shell Obama and Bushy are sharing cough drops these days! But the libs fawning over the spawn of Cheney is pretty funny.

"Win" what bro? I have no idea what that means in this context. I've been blessed in my life, so in that regard I win every day. Besides--we agreed on something today. No way I ever thought that would happen. Holla when the Affleck movie comes out about the heroic Mike Steele. I'll catch it on Prime. Have a good night. -

Sure, I'll give it another try to help you catch up. This virtual teaching gig ain't all it's cracked up to be, you know? You have an unhealthy fascination with posters you used to interact with back when they were here and gave a ^%$# what you had to say. It's boring. You often display a stunning lack of self-awareness, most recently when you complained about them being symptoms of the problem in civility and discourse because they disagree with you. That's sad. You specifically targeted the percentage of Republican men who are vaccine hesitant, or vaccine cynics for their beliefs. You then lobbied for mandatory vaccinations and completely dismissed their feelings and distrust of govt. That you just came off 4 years of distrust of govt is actually kind of humorous to me. I questioned your fixation on ig'nance and hypocrisy on the group de jour you targeted, and included links that suggest that in addition to those you targeted, 4% of dem voters and 22% of independents fall into the same class: Vax skeptics. In checking some data, the 4% of dems would be around 6-7million, and the 22% of indys would be another 7-8million cycnics, a number substantial enough to be concerning if you were being honest in your analysis; I included a link to concerns of Black voters, you opted to attempt to Transplain about the history of Black Americans and vaccinations, which is well known and frequently discussed, but represents and emotional argument, not a scientific one. That you feel forced compliance will improve the trust these folks have in the system seems...uh silly. Let's assume of the reported 42m Black Americans, 30% are hesitant or won't vax, putting that number at 12.6 m. We haven't discussed those flying under the societal radar, but the number of vaccine hesitant, cynical or refusers in the 15-20million undocumented immigrants is likely quite high, would you agree? I won't bore you further while you're raging against the DWRM (despicable white republican male), but the problem is much, much deeper than you suggest by a matter of tens of millions. Finally, there are many, many reasons to be distrustful of the vaccine, development and deployment for folks of all political stripes, backgrounds, skin tones and the like. That you're convinced everything is 100% jimmy jack safe is cool, but other folks don't have your life experiences, background or trust in the government (well, this government). Leave them be. Then there's this sort of political mischievousness where our own VP/Home Health Aide to her Uncle Joe cast doubt on the development, administration and safety of the vaccine. https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-rejects-a-coronavirus-vaccine-from-trump-2020-10 Of course, she wasn't the only one. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-balked-at-coronavirus-vaccine-under-trump Hope this help clarify. God bless. -

I'm 100% confident in what I said, in what I know, and how easily you are manipulated. Here, I'll prove it. Some easily manipulated (*^*&%^$^#posted this recently in response to the question "Why didn't Obama/Biden set the nation's mind at ease when they discovered that what was being reported was untrue and had the potential to tear the very fabric of the nation asunder?': I bet you can't wait for the fully unredacted Mueller Report to be released - right? You're so confident you should welcome it! I do wonder why Barr had to cover up everything Mueller discovered? You do know those dominoes (LOL) are starting to fall, right? OHHH - and I hear there is a second Steele Dossier out there - should be juicy. Get your Putin approved talking points ready - hustle! Most everybody gets manipulated from time to time. I've been a victim, I actually thought John Durham was honestly working to shine light on corruption in the political arena. I actually thought the dems must have something...anything that would tie Trump directly and irrefutably to Russia. This was around the time Obama and Biden were keeping their secret. Kudos to the 4merper4mer for calling that bull#### what it was. But, yeah, obviously --buckle up for Mueller v2.0! Unredacted Mueller! Mueller Sings! Maybe we can watch that old cat with the head injury babble on nonsensically yet again. He did an awesome job vindicating Trump the first time. Then, the new thrilla STEELE II: HARD STEELE should keep your loins boiling for a bit. No, I"m not concerned in the least. Not worried that there is some hidden gem that Mueller missed, or wasn't leaked or anything at all. I'm absolutely certain it will be doctored, 'new' evidence will be found or wahtever, and DJT will be at Mara Largo sunbathing in a speedo when all is said and done. I really don't understand the fantasy fixation with former posters. It has gotten to the point of being very creepy. Just ask 'em out for Christ's sake. -

While I think you're one of the easily manipulated simps who walked down aisle one when they told you treason, then moved to aisle two when they told you obstruction, then hopped on a bus to Urkainamania while nodding your head in agreement when they told you Joe's shakedown and insertion into the framework of a sovereign nation was vice-presidential, you're onto a very important point here. Yes, there is inherent danger in lying to the public about illegitimate elections, coups and allowing the intelligence agencies to find six ways to Sunday to destroy you. That was the problem with lies to the dem base, and perilously similar to the tactics of Joe McCarthy. Biden and Obama were briefed in early Jan 2017, before vacating the WH ,by John Brennan that the Steele dossier was bunk paid for by Trump's opponent. That Clinton didn't care that she was endangering the republic is obvious, but why one earth would two political powerhouses NOT tell the American people that the one of the main lynchpins in the ginned up charges against Trump were a myth created by the losing candidate? We all might have sighed a collective relief that at worst, shenanigans were afoot. Why didn't they tell us to keep us from each other's throats? The answer is simple of course--politics and reliance on the base to suck up everything they said without nary a question as to why it made no sense. Plus, us at each other's throats is good for the political soul. What right follows is distrust, suspicion, anger, resentment and rage....which unfortunately leads crazy people to do crazy things. The fact that you don't see the direct line from Russiagate to the assault n the capitol is not surprising to me in the least. The fact that you haven't considered that the IC knew about plans for something at the Capitol that day, and allowed it to play out as it did surprises me even less. Four words matter here: Six ways to Sunday. Glad we could agree on something, at least. Thankfully, the assault on the Capitol was not worse--can you imagine the devastation if it followed the organizational model of the riots across the country last summer and fall? In the end, it's a dangerous game, this politicization of the election, but it works quite well. You bought it. -

Absurd and emotional drivel. Folks who voted for Biden and the Dems supported the public character assassination of a Supreme Court nominee, two silly impeachments (one of which contrasts with a former VP bragging about a billion dollar shakedown of Ukraine before his brain turned to puddin') and ran a fools gambit on the president as a traitor and illegitimate president. They also sat back apathetically as the story spun from treason! to not treason!, but obstruction! Obstruction for what, why for defending oneself against charges of Treason! https://www.fox29.com/news/pelosis-2016-tweet-calling-on-congress-to-act-resurfaces https://nypost.com/2020/11/10/roots-of-stolen-election-claims-and-other-commentary/ https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/07/16/john-brennan-tweet-putin-trump-cooper-ip-sot-vpx.cnn And of course: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/450230-warren-says-us-elections-are-less-secure-than-your-amazon-account It was Chuck Schumer who said, the intelligence community has 'six ways to Sunday to get back at you' and guess what, he's absolutely right. It's quite telling that he didn't suggest legally, lawfully or otherwise, or that the American people will judge you...just that some way, some how, you'll be gotten to. That's some ominous movie villain ***** there, and his dimwitted media partner in the other chair just nods her head like a homely toy dog in the back of a car window. I didn't spend much time worrying about the election results--people will lie, cheat and steal, trusting those entrusted with our election blindly---it seemed clear to me that whatever legal bid was launched was unlikely to prevail simply based on timing if nothing else. Still, it certainly made sense to see it through, just like we did when Gore lost and did his tap dance in an attempt to prevail. At worst, it was politics not unlike "THE PRESIDENT IS ILLEGITIMATE!" and a three+ year circle jerk that dragged a bunch of easily manipulated individuals into what amounts to a crappy Tom Clancy script that he tossed out as too absurd even for a Matt Damon movie. The Republic is threatened most when people stop asking questions and pushing back against ludicrous tales of hookers, urine and blow. We'll be fine. -

There’s definitely some truth here. I’ve heard a number of stories where any ‘symptom’ that concerns a teacher results in the child being removed from class and sent home, with a physician note stating ‘no COVID’ before they can return to school. One of that ladies I work with had to retrieve her child due to ‘the sniffles’ and the nurse broke into tears over being questioned. Nobody is winning this sad game. -

Oh boy. 5 paragraphs attacking people because of your perspective that they were attacking people. Let it go. It serves no purpose. I mean I’m still pissed about the kid that girl that tossed an ice cream cone through my sunroof at a stop sign in ‘85, but at some point, it just is what it is. Your insistence of rigidity and relitigating the past is also part of the problem in the country. As for the vax, your assumed role as spokepeeps for the wokepeeps is largely ceremonial. Your perception is uniquely yours—your view is shaded by your experiences and limited by them as well. Same with me, same with us all. Your problem is that you think folks with different experiences and perceptions need to fall into your line. That’s not the way the world works. You jumped over the 5% of Dems and the 20+% of indeys who are distrustful/hesitant/not gonna vax, you probably just got turned around at the Virtue Signal in Tolerantown. As for the mistrust of the “Trust Is This Time” crowd by some members of the black community, thank you for the guidance but I’ve already educated myself on the subject. That’s why I shared the link silly wabbit. Anyway, nice to see you back. Forgive the in-laws and the ig’nant among us (and you can pretend it’s only Rs if it makes you happy) there should be space for all at the table. Hey!! I just used Tolerantown and read you went with Logicville. Let’s coordinate on that in the future. -
You keep believing you’re playing 4D chess by installing a career politician with a history of racism, physical/sexual mistreatment of women, gladhanding and legislation designed to keep the disenfranchised right where they were when he started the journey 5 decades ago. What a delightful, complex yet simple parody of a thinking person, the modern lib. You got 1980s politics positioned as hope and change. 🥳🥳.

Ole Transpy’s on a roll today, replete with references to people long gone to other places. It’s like you keep driving through the old neighborhood and can’t quite adjust to the new neighbors. Alan Parsons said it best: Time.... flowing like a River... Today’s fresh hot topic: Trump supporters! 😂 https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/548185-one-in-five-still-say-they-wont-get-covid-19-vaccine-poll https://www.rand.org/news/press/2021/03/01.html I think the best way for the Fauch and Joe and the crowd to alleviate concerns of the historically disenfranchised is to force compliance. Maybe seize assets (some could go to pay off those college debts from the Transpy Goes Wild days?), set up a gulag of sorts. Or, maybe they set up a serving station at the next Portland riot. Free Molotov with a vax? You’re free to walk in lockstep with the govt because really, what could ever go wrong there? Your thoughts on forced compliance are extreme given the brief snapshot in time we’ve been dealing with the virus and the absolute lack of confidence that the CDC and govt leadership has inspired over the last 17 months. Wear your mask in the bathtub if you want, leave others to make their own choices absent the threat of tyranny.

The level of stupid in this thread could fill a 2021 Porsche Cayenne, widely acknowledged as one of the most bigoted cars on the planet. Hates everybody, not for skin color, religion or the like, but because people wander up to it, press their greasy faces to the glass, breathing all over it in this time of COVID and when it’s time, folks hop in ass first and ride it like a $2 Parisian *****. Sadly, were that Cayenne to be stolen, hate and all, we all know that the insurance payout for some would be higher than for others. And society weeps.
