Crazy times that we have to question if it really happened.

You are such a simple single minded person intelligent discussion is unlikely.

Hate is such a strong point in your life that actual thought is impossible. Defend, hate, attack...so be it. Enjoy your miserable existence...

I know it cannot possibly be in Sweet Home Alabama....

My friend, I have been blessed beyond all reasonable expectation.  I have people in my life that care about me, I care about them and along the way I picked up some stuff.

 

None of that precludes me from pointing out what is painfully obvious to most:  the argument that your guy is slightly less sucky than the other guy is pretty pathetic, and it’s not a great argument that your guy is slightly less evil than the other. I expect that when people vote for Joe Biden, they vote with their heart.  No need to pretend it’s anything more than that. 
 

I’m not sure about Alabama, it’s pretty hot in the summer.  I would probably go to one if the M states. Missouri.  Maine.  Mew Hampshire. Michigan maybe.  But def not Minnesota.

what on earth is “hateful” about his post??

 

So many people nowadays dismiss someone with differing viewpoints as “hateful” or “racist”... it’s bizarre.

Plus I’m delightful.  Let’s not forget that.  
 

I forgive him.

The closing song, “For What It’s Worth,” was written by Stephen Stills as a member of Buffalo Springfield — later of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame — in 1966 — 54 years ago — in response to Sunset Strip curfew riots; a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Strip in Hollywood, California.

Ah, it all comes together, now doesn’t it?

The history of the song matters, of course, because the Democrat Party has not only backed the continuing unrest in the now 85 days since George Floyd’s death; they’ve all but donned cheerleader uniforms, grabbed the pom-poms, and joined the rioters in the streets.

 

          Here is the story I heard Still's give in an interview.

 

• Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his bandmates.
• In the book Neil Young: Long May You Run: The Illustrated History, Stephen Stills tells the story of this song's origin: "I had had something kicking around in my head. I wanted to write something about the kids that were on the line over in Southeast Asia that didn't have anything to do with the device of this mission, which was unraveling before our eyes. Then we came down to Sunset from my place on Topanga with a guy - I can't remember his name - and there's a funeral for a bar, one of the favorite spots for high school and UCLA kids to go and dance and listen to music.
  
  [Officials] decided to call out the official riot police because there's three thousand kids sort of standing out in the street; there's no looting, there's no nothing. It's everybody having a hang to close this bar. A whole company of black and white LAPD in full Macedonian battle array in shields and helmets and all that, and they're lined up across the street, and I just went 'Whoa! Why are they doing this?' There was no reason for it. I went back to Topanga, and that other song turned into 'For What It's Worth,' and it took as long to write as it took me to settle on the changes and write the lyrics down. It all came as a piece, and it took about fifteen minutes."

They already are (or at least saying it was prerecorded) because he shattered the narrative they've been pushing since March.  Now we'll see how he does at the debates which will be more of a test.  It'll be interesting to see at the RNC if they continue to push the senile Trojan horse to the radial left narrative or if they'll smarten up and go with the establishment narrative that won Trump the presidency in 2016.

Yeah, I am not so sure the "Senile Joe" angle is the way to go.

I'm a Curly guy too, did you know he wasn't an original stooge? Shemp was, and when he quit to become a Hollywood actor, Curly took his spot, sadly he passed after multiple strokes in 1952, I believe, my birth year.

 

...wow...did not know that.....

Sounds like those radials need to be balanced and aligned.

Trump's tweet about the Pledge of Allegiance is nothing but a lie.

Why is it ok that the QOTUS constantly lies?

SCOTT ADAMS ON BIDEN’S CASE

I wrote about Joe Biden’s speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday in “And on the fourth day.” To recap briefly, Biden announced that he has come to save us. Following in the footsteps of Barack Obama, Biden presented himself as the new messiah. Worshipers of Obama should have been offended, but they are biting their tongues in the service of the old-time religion.

 

I passed over Biden’s reiteration of the Charlottesville “fine people” hoax that he employed to condemn one aspect of the alleged Trump darkness. In his Coffee With Scott Adams series on YouTube, on Periscope, on Twitter, and on his own site yesterday, Adams took up this passage of the speech to call out Biden and declare him unfit for office.

 

Tim Haims has posted the video along with a transcription here at RealClearPolitics. It’s a valuable contribution to the record. With the expletive deleted, Adams concludes: “You can’t find anything Trump has done, anything Richard Nixon did, that is worse than this.”

CHARLES LIPSON: Joe Biden offers platitudes, not policies.

What was missing? Three important things. Biden made no mention of

 

What policies he would implement or how they differed from Trump’s; he simply offered vague picture of a happier, more prosperous future;

Riots and looting in major cities; he ignored them entirely; the closest he came was saying that, during his administration, America would finally rid itself of ‘systemic racism’; he included a sweet vignette of talking to George Floyd’s young daughter, who said her father had changed the world; but there was no mention of the chaos in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and other cities, which may have begun with Floyd’s killing but is now divorced from it;

 

Any international threats and challenges, or how he would deal with them differently from Trump, aside from saying he would not ‘cozy up to dictators’. He never mentioned Russia, Iran, North Korea, or terrorism. His one glancing mention of China was that his administration would not depend on them for medical supplies, a policy Trump is already pursuing.

 

The absence of any policy ideas was striking, especially because so many commentators expected them. The whole convention, they noted, had been devoted to attacking Trump, which left Biden was free to explain what he would do in office and how his policies would make the country better. He didn’t do that. He hardly tried. He simply promised everyone the Christmas presents they were wishing for — and then only in the vaguest terms.

 

 

To be completely fair, it was also badly delivered.

...not that I could stomach to watch and probably the same for the GOP Convention......BUT...were there any positives  to come out on policy changes et al that would benefit the country?...ANY highlights on Dem accomplishments to date?...ANY criticism on the violent protests, death and destruction going on nationwide?.....or just the usual "always attack ...never defend" mode?.....if the GOP Convention is laced with counter attacks, tit for tat nonsense, versus what has been accomplished to date (many examples IMO),we're in the SAME political "same old same old" nonsense that WAS the purpose of draining "the swamp" with a political outsider...pick your poison......
