Turns out she was at the wrong rally.

Is anyone else hearing the rumor….inauguration music to include “The Rising” by Bruce Springsteen?

Is anyone else hearing the rumor….Liz Cheney for AG?

Age old story I'm afraid. All I can say in that regard is I would understand a Harris vote there (or whomever might be on the other side from me) if she was truly standing for something that put money in your pocket. Instead, the legislative agenda calls for massive amounts of money to go through the system, and at each point along the way a bit is siphoned, then special interests get their beaks wet and we have a social safety net the size of the American southwest. I will say these two things tho: I think generally that tax rates are too high, that government is too big, and there is plenty of money flowing through the system. That said, personally speaking, I would gladly forgo an additional 2, 3, 4% on top of what I pay now if it would make a dent in the system and the additional money could go to help people in need. The challenge is I have zero confidence that can happen in my lifetime; For all the bluster, smoke and mirrors of the Harris campaign, that one that irritates me most is the 'billionaire tax' and tax on unrealized earnings. Looking at her star-studded lineup of endorsemeisters, not one has talked about just that--creating a pool of wealth to help the less fortunate through a tax aimed at the ultra-wealthy. Well--that's not true, Mark Cuban stated she wasn't going to go through with it because it would kill folks like him. Best of luck to you.

I'm not at liberty to say at this time, though I did hear he had a hook on his foot.

Ah, this provides some insight into your state of mind. I'm sorry to hear you're going through all that, and I would assume the stress must be overwhelming at times. It seems at times the system is tilted away from those in need in favor of those who simply want. Good luck with the disability claim.

Hmm. Interesting. I’m hearing rumors that the Harris-Biden DOJ has silently launched an investigation into Joe Rogan stemming from involvement in rigging Ali-Liston in ‘64. Now, I am doing the hard dirty work to try and confirm, so don’t be running your gums at the next Scotch and ‘Gars night in your fancy Wealthy White Retired N Lovin It Social Club until I can confirm. Stitches get riches.

Dude, you're banging around here telling me I've got 24 hours, calling me stupid and more, and telling me you don't care what I think so long as I acknowledge what you want me to acknowledge? In response, I can only say with a good-natured nod and a smile and say "Go f yourself, 4th, I don't owe you that.". I've been critical of Trump on quite a few issues. For example, I thought the speech on inauguration day was a mistake, though I did not anticipate anything of the magnitude of what would eventually happen. Still, I can look at what he said about peacefully making voices heard, review the rather odd details of how everything was handled by the incoming admin and Democrat decision-making on that day and wonder how that all played out. Yet, I believe the perpetrators needed to be found and brought to justice under the rules/guidelines of our system. In fact, I wish the same zeal and zest for tracking down trespassers would extend beyond protecting those in power extended to folks like you and me when victimized by crime. On your side, man, I wish you would have the same curiosity on exactly why there was a shortage of support to guard the Capitol, why requests for assistance were declined by key democrats, and why the 1/6 committee sh*tcanned all the documents and evidence gathered. But, hey, hate is a powerful elixr. Your brothers sound like good guys. That's a plus.

Ok? I can usually follow you, but I have no idea what it is you're saying. He did 'exactly' what during the debate? Shake off adversity?

I haven't interacted with Trump personally, but I'd say like most, he's a complicated guy. Thin-skinned at times (and not at all at others), not unlike JB in that regard, a narcissist like virtually every other candidate tends to be, sees himself as quite powerful and with an incredible ability to shake off extreme adversity and keep pushing forward.

I don't recall, but I'll take you at your word. I feel like I have good, productive discussions here and in some cases, my thought process has evolved. Not many, but isn't that the nature of opinions and thought processes? I'm a product of the way I was raised, the experiences I have had, the good fortune or bad events that have happened. I try to trend positive, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. I just assume that's the way people approach things, so why bother trying to steamroll someone with my experiences? As for 'toughin up', these are just words. Your actions indicate you're overly sensitive, insecure and see yourself as powerless--and perhaps I'm wrong, but that's what I see.

Righto, nothing screams indifference like spending months on a message board raging at people about their political views. On the bright side, you called me “buddy”, though I can’t tell if it’s in the friendly way, or the way Anthony Hopkins might say it in a sequel to Silence of the Lambs. Time will tell, I guess.

In fairness to @Andy1, we don’t know—and in fact, we cannot know—if the squirrel was menacing neighbors, walking around, bullying kids and taking their lunch money, or ran with the very dangerous 6th Street Flying Squirrel MC that’s running guns and meth through South Elmira.

Regardless of what happens today, or tomorrow, or next week, life goes on. What I’m certain of is that regardless of outcome, you’ll likely still be flailing about with oddly specific threats on a message board, like L Ron trying to find the g spot on a Ginger Gold, and I’ll hope you find peace.

What goes down between you, your toys and your Granny Smith is your business, Ron, but if you’re an expert, you’re an expert. Maybe a podcast is a better forum for that, but just wash your hands and maybe keep track of the apples. We’ve discussed the Mueller report in the past, but you’re a bit confused on why I referenced it here. Read what you posted earlier, before your mind wandered to the produce section at your local Wegmans, and your confusion on sequence of events being discussed. That said, of course there were arrests that stemmed from the Mueller report. When political factions are given what amounts to unlimited power, that’s the most likely outcome. On the other hand, over the past several years, we’ve also seen laws reinterpreted and in some cases selectively pursued, another symptom of hyper-politicization. Of course, that’s nothing new when you consider the history of the country, but that doesn’t change anything.

Not at all, Ron. The proof here is in your posts, my reply, and your stunning lack of knowledge of an issue supposedly of importance to you. It’s ok though, you got to use the firecracker line again (and then, again, a short time later).

I would be surprised if anyone thought you hated all politicians, Pete, but you do repeat that fairly often. You might even believe it. Beyond that…I always liked the simple prayer: God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; the Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Thankfully, I know the difference here. I can’t really square your hostility and what appears to be a threat at the end of your post, but it’s beyond my control regardless. Oh, snap! Oh, snap snap!

Look Ron, you asked a question that revealed you had no idea about the concerns expressed by Senator Warren, so I provided context to guide you to the answer. The problem imo is that if you were/are concerned about election security (2016, 2020, 2024) it is importantly, having a fundamental grasp of historical concerns is important. It seems fairly clear to me that you’re limiting yourself to news sites that cater to you bias, and the challenge there is you can come off looking like an uninformed bumpkin. Anyway, now you know the time frame.

If you're talking about the vindication of Trump on the debunked charges of Russian conspiracy and silly charges of illegitimate elections, my recollection would be........ yes, Warren, Klobuchar and others expressed their doubts of security after the Mueller debacle that had you scared to deaf* and looking for Ivan at the local Blockbuster. However, their collective concerns pre-dated any Trumpian claims of lost/stolen elections and recounts, back when it was cool to set the table for follow up in the event of a dem loss. Geesh, don't you pay attention to what presidential front runners for your party are saying? *Yup, scared so bad you stopped listening! I've been saying for years that the set-up for stolen elections was going down either way, and they were setting the stage to contest. There's precedence, of course.

I saw D presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar sharing grave concerns about the security of our elections in the lead up to 2020. I think many in the country breathed a collective sigh of relief when the election results were declared unassailable, beyond question and ironclad just a short time later. In this case, of course, “many” = liberal voters.

I was listening to a bit of his dialogue with Joe Rogan and some of it is pretty far out there. At the same time, when calculating the impact of a TC talking demons v politicians supporting young children lopping off body parts, I’m not sure the winner really wins anything.

You're a proponent of herding people into graham cracker box sized apartments and taking away their wheels. Where am I going to park my 67 GTO?? (I don't have a 67 GTO, but if I did....where would I park it??)

Jeez 4th, man up. You share a crazy meme from some crazy memey memer-person. When pressed on it, you fold like a $6 lawn chair and run with 'everyone does it'? Here's what everyone doesn't do--fold like a $6 lawn chair when pressed with basic facts. Here's some guidance for the future: Share the dopey meme if you like it, but in the place where you can add text, consider adding something like this: Before any of you mf'ers send me anything back designed to make me look like a hypocrite---Yeah, I know everyone does ______________ (insert: something/lie/fraud/sex scandal etc) but I'm really only upset when certain conditions that may/will change are met. Thank you and Happy Holidays during this season of Joy--- 4th&l Ps: Leh-nerd is cool, you just gotta understand him

Several women made allegations that Joe Biden assaulted them from inappropriate fondling to violent sexual assault. Kamala Harris declared she believed these women. Joe Biden assaulted women, according to Joe Biden. Kamala Harris partnered with Joe Biden, presumably trading her indignation for power. Bill Clinton was accused of assaulting multiple women. His wife, Hillary declared these women were bimbos and part of a vast right wing conspiracy. Bill Clinton, according to Bill Clinton, settled with at least one of his accusers. Bill Clinton subsequently leveraged his power dynamic to engage in a work place relationship with a young intern, denied it. Hillary Clinton partnered with Bill, presumably trading pride and anger at being manipulated for power. Kamala Harris vigorously supported Bill Clinton being her surrogate on the campaign trail, presumably trading outrage over the treatment of certain women for power. Voting for Bill Clinton was akin to voting for assault. Voting for Hillary Clinton was akin to voting for assault and enabling behavior. Voting for Harris is voting for assault on all women and predators in general. ' A real sticky wicket, this election season.

As one of our fave board members says "Words have consequences" and maybe follows up with "Actions not so much depending on your political leanings...".
