"When we've reached the point in civilized society where even the BJs are brutal, what is the point in civilized society?" -LS 2019

Was there a technical problem in the town hall? I think I understood him better than I have in a year. As for walking off camera, I know they place tape on the floor to mark the edge of the video field. It’s like he got to the edge, saw it and was trying to remember why it was there. It didn’t register, of course, but at least he knew it meant something. Hysterical.

How did it go with Larry David and the rest? You left us hanging.

Biden was speaking the other day and I swear I thought he was singing “My Sharona” by The Knack. It gets confusing at times.

We’re all God’s creatures? Pay it forward? It’s a global economy?

Come on, a gratuitous product-placement Snickers reference?? We’re hawking Mars, Incorporated these days? Unbelievable! (I’ll check it out)

I generally enjoy the back and forth between you and @IDBillzFan on the California situation. What I find funny about this post is that in spite of your fairly chill responses about some of the things that bothered ID, everyone has their hot buttons. In your best Will Smith “Bad Boys” voice: “AHHH HELL NO!! I WILL BUST SOMEONES A$$ IF I FIND THAT STICKER ON MY &$#@ING LEXUS!” Chef be crazy.

"Hey Mom, the Pegulas sent me a private plane! I'm signing!"

Quite a few years ago I was in Bangor, Maine, and a local took me by SKs house. No idea if he still lives there, but he had an iron gate all around the property (with bats or goblins on it for maximum cool/creep factor). Anyway, if I knew he was such a liberal dick, I'd have yelled at him to tear down the barrier.

One of the side effect of coronavirus is unreasonable crankiness. Tibs got it!

#visionary 3rd will be junior assistant executive to the chairman in charge of staffing. The chairman, who I call me, likes his wings extra crispy, his shirts hand-ironed with a sharp crease, and his coffee with no sugar. And yes, there is a role for @Tiberiusin this campaign. 3rd, explain sugar to him, and show him which part of the iron faces down. As this is grass roots, we have no money in the budget for work comp insurance or skin grafts.

I’m just going to throw this out there. If you get this liquid lunch thing under control, I’m starting a grass roots campaign “GG 4 Fed Chair”.

Word Bobby, we have reached a place where agree on another issue! Imo, the big problem people have is thinking in terms of The dip and The bottom. It’s like losing 25 pounds, throwing out all your Wranglers and buying up a bunch of skinny jeans. For some, the skinny jeans will get the job done, but for most, rational and reasoned thought should prevail. Maybe the new jeans work, but maybe the real target number for new purchases should have been 20, 18, or 15 pounds off the scale. Dollar cost averaging, knowing ones time horizon and risk tolerance seem to work pretty well over time. If you have some money available to buy on The (latest) dip, have at it.

The world keeps spinning. Business models change and adapt, people forget and move on. By the way, on that note, I found myself a bit depressed today. I generally turn on the network news channels to get a sense on what they are reporting or suggesting. Mostly, I do it because I like to know how the other side thinks, or at least the narrative they want the rest of the world to believe. It hit me that I feel an awful lot like I did many of the years the O’Biden ticket was in power. It seemed to me there was a constant malaise that hung over that administration, wher the promise of hope and change was replaced with “our best times are behind us, big government is the answer, submit or be marginalized”. When I contrast that with the incredible energy generated by Trump, by the focus on development of the American economy, repatriation of money long out of our economy, the money that has been invested in communities across the areas I’ve travelled, more money in the pockets of the middle class, it’s a pretty stark contrast. it must really be emotionally draining to be an O’Biden Democrat, when everything is doom, gloom, boogeymen in every corner.

He seems kinder, like his time away included introspection and reflection.

You Amish get snappy when you get your drank on. Stop worshipping at the altar of the Twitterverse. What was the plan that was not implemented?

Dude that's Denzel, the greatest American actor. True, in a separate thread I claimed it was Gene Hackman, but they are both damn good. They are both the best, both better, just both better different.

Does he? Fascinating to hear from one of the “people” referenced by the crackerjack journalist on NBC. In related news, some people are saying a European travel ban would have no impact whatsoever on the massive tourism industry in the US, and thus The Trump Organization will be unaffected by the ban. When I was a kid, we would have called those people ruhtards.

NBC news reporting on the travel ban. Paraphrased: ”People are questioning why it does not extend to UK or Ireland. Some believe it’s because Trump has resorts in Ireland, and that it’s a reward to the UK for exiting the European Union, something that Trump supported.” I keep thinking there are limits to how incredibly disingenuous and dangerous these people are, and am constantly surprised at how there are no limits at all.

Well at least we can be happy that he gets that Wilmington stutter under control when saying horrible things about his political opponents. Must be the very rare PSSD (Political Situational Stuttering Disorder) that he suffers from. I did some research and found he suffers from a few other disorders: CSIF...Cilium Scent Inhalation Fixation M-GTD....Mussht-Grabbe Tater Disorder OROC..Occasional Racist Outburst Compulsion RPA....Random Plagarism Affectation STGO...Scranton Tough Guy Obsession I think he’s done remarkably well in life, all things considered. I’m with you man, Joe’s the real victim and here and should be pitied.

@KD in CA points out the problem with this post down thread a bit, but I’d like to jump in as well. You wrote an impassioned and imo effective post a couple hours ago. Speaking only for myself, i read it, considered your perspective, thought about whether or not you’re a reasonable guy or a silly heart like @TPS or @Hardhatharry, and figured you were calling things as you truly saw them. Put another way, your post promoted me to consider things in a way I had not previously considered, and I disagree with many of the things I’ve seen you post previously. This recent post, however, is a damn shame. You do what you want, but if you really are trying to reach people, why politicize it further, especially in light of the actions outlined by the president this evening, and the actions taken previously? It cheapens the message. The reality, whether you choose to see it or not, is that virtually every Trump supporter I know has sat and watched one effort after another, after another, after another attempt to tear him down and burn his agenda to the ground. We watched members of the media willing accomplices of Obama/Biden/Brennan/Comey as they painted our president as a traitor, and watched many Americans support it in spite of the outcome. We watched smear campaigns against a SC nominee, and the media breathlessly participate in attempting to tear him down for unfounded allegations from 40 years ago. You know all the stories..Joe Biden-good an honest Joe acting like a mob boss threatening to bust up the Ukrainian unless they paid the vig yet bringing out the torches and pitchforks for Trump. Anyway, it continues. Being completely honest, when I think about media coverage of the virus, the politicization by the dems on Trump/Washington response, Cuomo sounding like a eunuch as he bizarrely implied the NYS govt and our political contingent was powerless to do ANYthing to prepare NY before today, my natural tendency is to stop watching or reading what they have to say. They are not my trusted source, they do not have my best interest at heart, and as far as I am concerned, they can &$#@ off. The problem? Every now and again they might provide some accurate information but by the time they do, many many people have moved on. Same with Congress, same with Schumer and so on. If you have a serious point to make—and I felt you did—, I’ll listen, but save the “trolling Trump” bull#### for the other jokers with 15 posts suddenly appearing here.

Really? None if what follows is directed at you: $#@@ off. $%&*sucker. M#$@@f÷÷*r. Eat %$##. Screw you. Go to hell. Damn liar. The story is he lost his cool over something as basic as a second amendment question. He was overly aggressive, attempted to intimidate the guy with language, hand gestures, and attitude and actually told him they should go outside. All these things are true and if you disagree with me you are a %$#@ing %$#@ dog-faced %$#@ red dog $#@@ pony soldier.

@Bob in Mich wondering how you square this up? It may well be the first lie in the history of the modern dem party but it seems like a biggie.

Putin puppet, racist, misogynist, abuser, fat guy, orange dude, sexual predator, tax evader. Biden has been treated as a joke for much of his political career because he is a dimwit. Says stupid things. Makes racist comments. Wandering Hands. And so on. It's politics.
