Who gives a shyt about a news report from two years ago about a protest that turned into a riot... It’s not like it was an insurrection or anything that stupid!
Only insurrection ever done without any guns or arms in general. Sure,
Turns out that practically every single time Blacks made something of themselves, built businesses, acquired generational wealth and prospered, white mobs took it all from them.
This from the same fake news that said the riots were peaceful despite the fires, deaths and $2 Billion worth of damage have either of you EVER given any thought to your surrounding or do you just believe what the fake news tell you to think? Both of you are poster children for Dunning Kruger Syndrome. I bet you even think this situation is about left vs right...R vs D. Its easy to see why. That is the narrative being pushed. oh but you fellows are way to smart to be lead by the nose. Sure you are. Better buckle up
Do you want everyone dead who disagrees with you? Yer a child with a child’s brain.
Fellows I'll leave you to your unhappy selves, If I hang around you guys will go into convulsions. The reason is The liberal/progressive (Regressive) argument CANNOT win the debate on the merits of their ideas. Just as the lefties on the Outside Asylum couldn't. The same with the CANCEL culture. You MUST shutdown debate. That is why you are unhappy most of the time

I see not one dare to open the video link above about a guy that quit "politic" and mathematic to live a true life...( he was a friend of the late Abraham Robinson and the death of Robinson change his career).. Dont be afraid it is not about mathematics... 😁😊Not about acoustic either.... 😁😊
Arguing about who is right, the democrat or the republican at this point of time in history, is entertainment for sheeps roosting in hell...
Awake and think the earth perspective at least...
Nobody understand a map by fixing around a "fictitious" ideological location on it....
Better buckle up? What do you and your kind have in store for the vast majority of Americans who don't think like you do? Angry and afraid of being "replaced"? You need to take your meds, or, better yet, just go out in the streets for the next planned insurrection and try to overthrow the government again, and see where it gets you.
The guy presently in charge is not going to put up with a bunch of idiots who think they can still win the Civil War, if they just try hard enough. You'll have better luck clicking your heels saying, "There's no place like home" or clapping for Tinkerbell to come back to life.
This guy is not less insane but more insane than the other one because all is behind him is an horrible machine.... this war beginning long time ago bore the stamp of madness....The other one was an odd free ball, this one is a greedy robot...
I said mutiple times that Trump/Biden is NOT A CHOICE.....
Then if you are obsessed by these two stooges and dont see the difference , one with a war machine behind him, and their common absurd egoistic greed... Dont answer me...
I will not enter your ridiculous alternatives : Trump versus Biden...
@mahgister , did you totally miss out on the four years of The Fat Donnie Comedy Show? that wasn’t "odd" . . . that was terrifying.
Careful which box you try to “fit” someone in. I consider myself conservative but I’m unwilling to accept the MAGA party line. When is the last time you did something compassionate, open minded or even mingled with non-white, angry old white guys like yourself? I’d wager the value of your minivan you live southof the Mason-Dixon.
I ALREADY pointed to a difference between these two clowns in my last post, a big one...But a difference is not enough to make them anything else than 2 puppets : puppet of his greed, and the other puppet of the Empire....
But no, you go on arguing with me, and not understanding about what i speak about...
You are glued on this childish distraction from the essential and you atttack everyone who dont stay in the narrow band delineated for your football game...
Go alone with your democrat/republican game and battle with other than me...
The united States country is not the American Empire....If one clown play on this difference and not the other, this does not means that one is an ideal choice compared to the other ...
The world is not an American field....And by the way there is no more democracy in America than in Canada...If you dont see that now argue about the choice you prefer between these 2 puppets alone but not with me...
Trump/Biden is NOT A CHOICE.....
if you can’t see a clear difference/choice, you are blind or wearing blinders.
It's been an interesting read, this forum. The split into vague tribes, the needles of the 'free agents' barbs poking holes in the sturm und drang....
To fill in an obvious gap would be to poll the End of Times crowd if they're ready for whatever That may be....
Up to now they've been acting like it's gonna be an absolute party thrown for them.
Imagine the disappointment....*mock sigh*
@mahgisterPity I can't read German, but I'll look about for a subtitled version.
Back in Houston, a co-worker showing me his drawings he'd done as the artist he is, nice gestural charcoal work. He suddenly paused and opined...
"I get it.....You don't 'do' art, your life Is your art!"
'Replaced?' Moi'?
Spouse alternately wants me to retire, but knows it's going to be very difficult to do so.....
Especially when our business is booking into 4th quarter already, and has just completed a 'high-profile' project....in a area we're familiar with already.
I gave up reading minds awhile back....same 4 things, basically.
Mostly primal stuff...the occasional -Thing I Didn't Need To- but goes with the territory......
We really ought to be focusing on planetary survival, but the concept is a bit beyond Fox and even all the others...not to mention the guverment....
...which is enough just to bare of itself....
"No way to delay the trouble comin' every day...."
Wouldn’t it be kindof cool if those who make bombastic or apocolyptic claims to be required to list their geographic location and a summary of their qualifications? That way people could take their comments in context and arrive at an appropriate opinion of their bonadifes.
For instance: Hi, I’m Joe. I live in Cortland, NY in my parents basement. I was the first alternate on my church chess team in middle school. For the past 43 years I have been the assistant manager at Subway and I feel uniquely qualified to discuss the effects of monetary policy and the global supply chain weaknesses because a “duhmata” (tomato) now costs more. I also believe the last president was better because he too likes guns, chicks and not paying his bills."
And you can't spell 'bonafides'. More usually expressed as 'bona fides'.
Guys like Artemus and clearthinker can’t ruin anything unless you let them. The topic of the thread was basically the perceived tube problem isnt really a problem. Someone posts an anti BLM comment. We can react or we can keep on moving. Clearthinker decides to pick on a typo in one of my posts because…well, he probably thinks I was criticizing his Team. Whatever….slowing down for stupid isnt productive so lets just keep on moving.
So, the tube and baby formula supply chain issues will get worked out.
Do you want everyone dead who disagrees with you? Yer a child with a child’s brain.

I suggest that you actually read a scholarly effort. Try "Grant" by Ron Chernow. Think about the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the constitution that were enacted under Grant's time in office. Think about the facts. Now think what has been dismantled by the supreme court since that time.
Then think about your comment "...The liberal/progressive (Regressive) argument CANNOT win the debate on the merits of their ideas..."
...at least, in the subtitles, which would make for a very long evening transcribing into Google Xslate... ;)
I remember a bus trip from Houston to FL in which the onboard entertainment was a series of Chinese soap operas. Spouse and I started to make up our own dialogs....
"What do you mean?! You actually microwaved the cat?? You Fiend!"
"...serve in the dark naked, and garnish with ground glass.."
Well, maybe not this show...🙄
Too many of the 'long form' forums drift into politics that ignore the premise that most live in a country that upholds the concept of 'common ground for the common good'. Nobody get Everything they want, but agrees to accept a common denominator, as low as it may be....
One side claims the other eats babies, while the retort is pervert drug-induced teen group grope sexcapades....😬
Meanwhile, in a state I was more than happy to depart from, the guv bitches that the citizens don't buy enough guns just before a drop-out punk unloads a clip into a classroom of little kids and teachers.
I have no problems with reasonable people of either spectrum; L v. R., pro v. no, all that... But wasn't the concept of 'majority rules', even if the total is 50.0001%?
Everyone's sick 'n tired of being sick 'n tired....esp. here, which I thought we come here to escape all that for awhile...
@asvjerry, great point about The Commons. A concept baked into the minds of the founding fathers and one of the central tenets of the Constitution but you wouldn't know it from all the privatization of resources and government functions going on.
Yes, the Commons was very important to early Americans, every little town in America had a commons where folks gathered, very important to the spirit of the people. Remember, states were often referred to as commonwealths. Think about that one for a minute.
All this obsession with individualism and personal freedom new, or is it primitive, concoction of politicians. A single human in battle with the world, what a reductive concept.
Just checked back into this thread to see if jerryg123 ever surfaced again (the only reason I checked back in on this thread!). Hope jerry is recovering!
The Commons.....not so much so of late, other than complaint or compliance...
@ghasley...but what's old is still quite alive, unless you're in the line of fire.
I can appreciate that there's lots of tech and wire between some spats that flame up here. There'd been a thought floated about AG Zoom (or pick your means) meet-ups, but...
If any had or are having such, it might answer why some posters aren't about lately.
Since getting to actually see whom you've vented your spleen at previously, the psychic shock may drive one mute in many obscure ways... ;)
@sns.."Every man for himself and god against all.."
Rankles one to consider how quickly civility can fail, tolerating the wretched news that never seems to either...and the daily trudge seems to gain weight of it's own.
Still beats the alt., but it'd be nice to see things turn about on a civilization level, as in All of us instead the Some...and clean up our collective nest...
There is no Holiday Inn on Mars, and a one-way ticket is all we all have, even at home.... 😔
....although it was mentioned in an elsewhere that the major tube factory is owned by an American, supplies the bulk of the various brands....
To the average Petrovic and Maya in Russia our econowarfare takes a toll on them, not so much the government. 'They' have the means to carry on despite shortages, businesses closing doesn't effect the 'well-enabled'...
Enough politik, comrades....it would be great if there was a niche tube outlet here in the states...one can curse about US businesses that shut down and went to China or elsewhere, but unsure if there's anyone to fill that demand....
