Let’s wait until the next Presidential debate, subsequent declarations of fitness by pundits and supporters alike, before we decide what the next steps should be.

I understand what you’re trying to say. People disagree sometimes.

I’m not asking you to dance like a puppet one way or the other, your record is indeed very clear. Off the top of my head: 1. You support democrats and authoritarian overreach because you’re a democrat. 2. You avoid direct conversation on topics you insert yourself into like the plague. This thread is a perfect example of that. 3. I don’t care if you’re outraged or not, and based on my observation, you’re way too deep in liberal ideology to even come close to outrage on democrats and fraud. Again, this thread is an example. 4. If you vote, you vote your agenda. Kamala Harris’ acknowledgments about Biden inappropriately touching women, her belief that he did so would not dissuade you from voting for Biden, or voting for Harris later on. Not the right type of women, not the right type of abuser, not the correct cause for outrage. Ditto W Clinton, ditto H Clinton. You’re every bit the defender of the faith as the most hardcore Trump supporter. I’m going to give you partial credit in this thread for your grandiose acknowledgement that “no one is above the law”. It’s something to aspire to, but it’s a pipe dream. Certain people are above the law, liberals and conservatives, and most people are comfortable looking the other way when it’s their people catching that particular break. 7.5/8 of your posts are about something other than the topic. Congrats on your very slight improvement.

I’m not advocating for KISS in the big picture (the Kennedy Center honors seems to be a big circle jerk tbh) but just based on sheer popularity they were hugely popular and relevant for a long time. Joni Mitchell was an important artist on some level, but she was 152 years old when honored. Meanwhile a brilliant artist like Enrico Pallazzo is passed over again and again. It’s just not right.

Why would you default to thinking she was dead? Let's be fair...a lot of these honorees are sort of past their prime. 2022 included Bette Midler....George Clooney (before he stabbed his old pal JB in the back)...a pipless Gladys Knight. 2021....Joni Mitchell. 2019...Sally Field...Earth Wind and Fire. And so on. Led Zeppelin was an industry giant and certainly a major light that eclipsed that of GG, but by the time they were honored in 2012 it had been a long time since they rock and rolled. Gloria Gaynor was afraid and petrified, only to discover she had the gumption and tenacity to survive (hey hey). I respect the heck outta that.

The interesting part to me is that I didn’t mention Cook, I pointed out well known Dems from NYS with…issues. Let’s let Cook have her day in the sun, let’s let the government handle things as they see fit. It would be nice to think there was zero politics in it, but the game is played the way it’s played. On a scale of 1 to 100, where 1 represents no political shenanigans and 100 represents the DOJ executing a warrant on an adversaries home for doing what it seems most high ranking individuals have done for decades, I’d put this at a 5. On the bright side, while I’d bet Homey passes on your question, I do believe he’ll offer a crackerjack of a story about an R leaning alderman in a town in Idaho who parked his personal vehicle in a No Standing zone in 1988.

In one fell swoop, you again avoided the subject of the thread, acknowledged attempting to derail the thread, and believe that your attempt to derail a thread because someone else derails a thread reflects hypocrisy on my part? Fascinating. For those keeping score, you are now 7/7 avoiding the topic and supporting fraud by democrats.

I’ll ask the same question I asked Andy—where do you start? Citizen is a firearms enthusiast, has a variety of firearms ranging from handguns to rifles, to semi-automatic. He passed a background check, has a secure home, no signs that he’s a threat to anyone. What can he keep?

What would you propose from a confiscation, or compulsory give back, to start to solve the problem? I’m torn on this issue—I’m not a gun enthusiast but know many, many responsible gun owners. It seems we have rules in place to screen, yet in the cases of these crazies guns are obtained regardless.

6 posts in a thread about democrats and fraud, 6 times you’ve gone out of your way to discuss anything but democrats and fraud. Keep it rolling!

Duh, Trump has seized the NYT. And the Royal Canadian Mounties. Full sprint: ACTIVATED.

I thought your comment about not being under water for three weeks was kind of funny in a sarcastic way: You do understand that you're not constantly under water the entire time you're on a 3-week dive trip, right? I didn’t think most people would think you were completely submerged for 3 straight weeks, @Trump_is_Mentally_fit notwithstanding, so I went with a guy being underwater for just a bit longer than the oxygen might last in a tank. 100% miss on my part. Apologies for the confusion.

You’ve posted 5 times in this thread about democrats and fraud. You’ve mentioned democrats and fraud zero times, presumably because you’re a supporter of democrats, and fraud perpetrated by democrats. It’s all good though…you’re not alone. Do tell me though, about Donald Trump and Studio 51 in 1988. You’ve likely got a real doozy of a connection there.

You don’t got it. In a thread about Democrats and fraud, you’re onto Trump attempting to buy the Bills.

You're thinking tuberculosis or black lung?

I'm center* bro. You don't know that either, and the list is growing. And EARMUFFS with the language! *center right...ish

You have a side, 4th, you're just the last person to know it. I agree with you on the violence, it's out of control. I know several transgendered people and find them to be like just about everyone else--trying to get along, make a go of their life, and dealing with issues I pray my family members never have to deal with. This person was off his rocker, and mental illness is mental illness.

I heard of one guy who went on a three week excursion and died 60 minutes and 54 seconds into the trip. No one is exactly sure why, he was fine...picking up shells, swimming with the fishes, then he flailed around a bit and stopped moving. Heart attack, maybe. Should be a cool trip--good luck!

Urban spaces are often dirtier because people don’t address accumulation of garbage, often lack pride in/or investment in ownership because they rent, and often point the finger that someone else should do it. All the government funding in the world doesn’t overcome apathy. That’s not exclusively a city issue, but it’s pretty common in cities that struggle with filth. The start would be for people for people to pick up garbage in their neighborhood and put it in a trash can. In the event a trash can is not available, the purchase of a proper receptacle is a good start.

Thank God, I think.

Are you pro-mortgage fraud, The? That's whack, like funky cold medina.

I understand your perspective on some level, Tibsy, but I've picked up garbage in my own neighborhood for many years. I do the same at my office, and while occasionally quite gross...someone has to do it or it becomes problematic. I used to take my children on rides through a nearby city to sort of point out the issues with accumulated garbage. It's not beneath one's station.

Yes, agreed.

Sadly I think this type of rational explanation falls on deaf ears when dealing with the tin foil hat crowd. As we see here, the rush to defend their sacred cows guilty of wrongdoing is THE most important thing. No doubt, high profile individuals and corporations get special privilege and deals (See Spitzer, Elliot, Obama/solyndra, Biden/Ukraine) Money and power buys access. Questions that might be asked of you or I aren’t quite as important in those situations. That’s not new, not Trump-specific, and crosses party lines. Still, if the door to prosecution is opened, might as well get on with it across the board. Letitia James is a powerful woman, she can handle herself. Color me shocked that you’re shocked that someone pointed out….inconsistencies…..in your selective outrage.

Good lad, you’re getting there. If the people charged within enforcing the law break it consistently, why would you be surprised that people don’t trust their motives? Or, that others recognize that opportunities exist within the system to exploit it?
