Well, I do have to admit I am long winded, but the point is that not only is it nuanced, but can't be summed up in 140 truth characters.
So the issues in the world are not because a Dem is in the white house, that the justice system is going after a crook and that you are old, out of touch and have too much boomer blood that can't keep up in the fast pace 21st century world. Cause if you stop and look, you will see that your party of choice is responsible for far more of the problems, since they never can come up with any solutions.Comment

I ask myself the same thing every time you post.
I guess I'm just not progressive enough for places like S.F. or Portland or Seattle with homeless living in the street, doing drugs or defecating on the sidewalk.
And it's not that it's a Dem in the white house ~ it's a politically weak, senile old man in the white house.
But let's look at a few examples of solutions compared between parties. (I'll focus on Trump & Biden, since that's all you seem to be interested in rather than historical facts of the Nation as a whole.)
Let's start local.
Southern Border:
Trump ~ "Build a wall" & "Remain in Mexico" and crossings dropped to the lowest in decades.
Biden ~ "No more walls!" and 2 million so far this year.
Energy/Gas price:
Trump ~ Energy exporter worldwide and economically independent of outside sources.
Biden ~ "No more fossil fuel!" and reduced the supply on his first day in office. And now draining the Federal Reserve for the second time.
Middle East:
Trump ~ Abraham accords, U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.
Biden ~ Botched withdrawal in Afghanistan, groveling for more oil out of Saudia only having OPEC+ reduce production by the same amount the US uses. Iran now threatening to take action on American soil.
Ukraine:
That needs a separate post.
North Korea:
Trump ~ Walks into the Country, shakes hands with Kim Jong Un. N.K. missile launches reduced, no new tests of underground nukes.
Biden ~ N.K. launches more missiles in one month than in three years under the previous admin (including an ICBM over Japan). Starts threatening to throw nukes pretty much everywhere.
However, it's not my job to cure your insanity or abate your personal delusions. You are welcome to them and please continue the comedic routine.
(See? I can play troll as well.
)
Back to the original post, I have 97 independent candidates up for numerous positions. I've gone through about half looking online for their views and opinions.
And, what? 32 days to decide?
Just over a month and We should know which way the House and Senate will swing.

Oh goody. This is the kind of post I do so enjoy.
That is only because what you think is sane makes me sound insane and vice versa. A more open minded person would try to look at it from the other perspective to better judge, but what do I know?
Ummm, people do drugs every where. Hillbilly heroine, some white lightning, or the 21st century addiction when you just get them from a doctor. To say that only cities have this problem is exactly why it can never be fixed. People like yourself who only think it is always over there's problem. And if you would stop to think that, maybe instead of just pointing at those homeless you try to help them. You know, do the Christian thing of helping thy brother?
Politically weak? Senile? Ok. You are entitled to your opinion, but you seem to be parroting Sean Hannity. Careful, I might ask you why.
But seriously, every time people think that he has lost a step, or is a bit too old, he is pleasantly surprising people.
I'll posit that it is a difficult to NOT talk about the leaders of the party. If you wish to talk about the history, that is one thing, but when y9u are talking about current events, you are either going to describe what the leader is doing for the party or what the leader is going to do. You can not separate the 2. Regardless, when talking about trump, it is the hostirical past as he is not the president anymore. His admin is in the past.
Ah yes the wall that the migrants bypass as it was neither completed due to fraud and corruption. One would think that the workers there would deter people crossing, but those are only documented Illegals. so while there was what, only 10k a swear allowed, that admin didn't really count all those in the detainment camps.
Also, if you would go back to your civic lessons, this country is founded on the principle of bring me your tired, your poor, your disenfranchised. Everyone here,, in this country was from an immigrant. If you wish to say legal or illegal, that is only from the aspect of from the government in power. It also goes to show you that how poor this country is being run and yet people from all over are risking their lives to come here.
We have always been an energy exporter. We are some of the dee countries that is "blessed" with black gold. Now, it has ebbed and flowed to being a net importer or a net exporter to the total amounts in a given year, we still do that. Yet, we do not use our own supplies for ourselves. We ship what we produce here and import for our needs. Again, we import and export around 50%, give or take. We are not independent at all.
Now, by using renewable energy and cutting off dependence on foreign oil,, only then we can be free of the whims of OPEC. There is a finite amount of oil on this planet and drilling more will not do anything to change. But those petrochemical companies is that only want to be a monopoly and want to have record profits, only want you to use gas. Electric vehicles or hydrogen vehicles that literally bypass the gas pump doesn't care if OPEC is asking $100 or $1000/barrel. That is true independence
Afghanistan is not in the middle east for one.
Anyway, we will not know the details of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but remember, it was trump that set everything in motion, and it was trump and the republicans that set in motion the poor handling. Oh, is it passing thr buck? No, it is the republicans in congress that liked to play games with appointees and the whole transfer of power that put massive delays in everything.
And, since this dovetails with your last point, since we are dependent upon foreign oil, how else would you get Biden asking OPEC about anything? See, you like to use these nice little bullet points but even in your own words, are failing to realize that they are bigger than the jabs and what about isms that your party likes to shout but never seems to address?
But how would you deal with a bunch of rich Arabs that wish to maintain being richer, other than asking them to do tsomething for you. They did, and surprise prices went down for the world. Now, they are wanting to make more money again and prices will go up. Again, renewable energy that isn't tied to OPEC or a finite commodity that will run out and it doesn't matter.
Iran has problems of its own. It is equally exciting and scary. This is from the people by the people and not anything other than treatment of its own. No geopolitical aspects, no us vs them. This can be the start of the youth becoming more progressive and wishing to throw off their religious totalitarian regime or it could be a crackdown of more and harsher fundamental leaders and the world will fear more. If only trump never tore up the nuclear agreement and we wouldn't have to worry about possible nuclear weapons.
True, but what is there to talk about?
One would see that NK got everything it wanted, since trump went in and did nothing to put a stop to it. Remember, a theif doesn't stop when the corrupt guard is on duty, no he keeps using him, keeping him in his pocket. You can also say that because they, NK, are not getting what they want, they are doing exactly what they are. trump did nothing to curtail anything. If he did, then they would've the rockete to shoot and they would be a good little country. No, a child roars against the disciplarian,, not the pushover that is giving everything they want.
Really, I find it interesting that so many people can't see the woods through the trees and how they all seem utterly devoted to a person that they put aside all rational thought. I don't find it funny, but pitiful.
Why should you know which way it would swing?Last edited by Nobody; 10-07-2022, 09:57 PM.Comment

Hahaha, love how you arbitrarily name the MSNBC evening lineup. So much like the GOP and/or MAGA crowd, keep throwing everything against the wall to see if that will stick. Cause if you can't look inward to your own failings, fingerpoint and try to blame everyone but yourselves.Comment

Again, how is it misguided? You always seem to try and point it out yet you never really answer the question. You know, give good well based facts, supporting your ideas or values that prove that my notions and ideals are firmly out of place and out of touch with reality. Though opinion is one thing, and we are all entitled to it, when you try to substitute opinion for fact, we'll you have the Maga republicans...
You do realize that pop culture is a term that comes about when things seemingly "pop" into the forefront but then quickly "pop" right back out. If you want to hang your hat on that, good for you. It is not something that will last. So if you consider the Maga movement as pop culture than you are the very thing that you say about me being a contrarian and not coming up with your own ideas. Finger point much?
But thank you John, I needed this laugh.Comment

Actually the term is derived from POPular which is obvious... you can have new things that are popular and old things that make a resurgence and are now popular as "retro" for instance.
Your truths are not my truths. You believe what you want and I will do the same. Just as I felt that no justice was served regarding Benghazi I'm pretty sure that you are upset that there were no real findings of collusion with the Russians by Trump after the 22 month investigation. But at least, to the best of my knowledge no one died there... Can't say the same about Benghazi, can you!
We are just diametrically opposed and I am sure you will post up something regarding this post that will not have any real substance just like about 75%-80% of your posts. Lots of words with little substance.
Hope you don't laugh about this one... there are some real sad events mentioned here.......You know you want one!!Comment

Benghazi was bad, but it is easy to cherrypick that about a handful of lives that were lost needlessly and could have been prevented. And as much a tragedy as that was, it was a no-win situation for the Admin. If nothing was going to happen, then the Congress would have lambasted for jumping at "ghosts", and when they did nothing, hindsight being 20-20, and Congress vilified for not doing enough. I do love it when the right cares about a few lives but let how many Americans died stupidly, over the lack of preparation for covid?
As for the Mueller report. Let's get one thing straight about it. When yoir boss tells you to investigate everything concerning this one topic, but only report one if it follows this very narrow path, i.e. only report on Russian interference to the DNC, not if there was any Russian involvement or even if there was any evidence of Collusion with the republicans.
In my mind, an investigation should go where the evidence leads to and prosecute all those that broke the laws, not if only this group broke only these laws. That is like someone committed a murder but then quickly jaywalking or runs a redight to get punished. The law does allow for cases of found evidence indicating in new and unknown crimes.
But Mueller wasn't a total loss. Some people who broke the laws went to jail, rightly so. While many would think how you say we do, that it didn't get the president, I don't. While I may feel he is dirtier than a sewer grate, he hasn't been charged yet. I do hope that he will screw up and finally not have a bunch of patsy's and fallguys to take the blame for whatever, so he could finally face the consequences of his actions. He probably won't live that long, or maybe only the good die young. Time will judge that.
But if you're waiting for Durham to produce 3 indictments and one overturned sentence, then Mueller was well worth it for thr 40 some odd convictions of criminal acts that where sentenced. So, keep all your bluster and proformative arm raising about Benghazi, or Mueller or whatever. You are so concerned with the window dressing you have been trained to nkt question why anymore. Just by the fact that you brought up Benghazi, tells me that you are looking for an equivalency or whataboutism. It is pretty poor if that is all you can think about.Comment
