......You know you want one!! -
And this is where you loose.
Though, it is easy to say, that this rlthread has become such a quagmire that no one that is not involved, would read it, but responses like that is where anything you do have to say, about politics but possibly anything, gains you no respect.
Engage in a debate of differing topics, using experi3nce and references to support what you are saying, nope. You just like your orange demigod, use ridicule and mockery, because for as intelligent as you try to make out that you are, you loose because you can't support anything you say/write. Hell, even in the few times you have supported what you say, I poke holes in your thibking, showing how much a hypocrit you are.
So, each and every time you don't engage back, showing me and any other brave readers, tbat what you have to say is meaningless and has no leg to stand on. You literally defeat anything you hold dear in the political field. Yes, you can say those are my rules, but my rules are what the world sees it as. So, everytime I get a non-response, I look at it as a win, since I am never challenged on it. And if you can't defend what you have to say, when an idiot challenges you, what do you do when someone does the same that actually has a clue?Comment

So... How's it going?
I watched the debate. Haven't seen that much muck thrown around since I saw a four-way womans nude mud wrestling match down in Tiajuana.
And that was about all. No real answers. Just disappointing entertainment.
Guess we just have to wait and see.
How about everything else?
Earthquakes in S. California usually average 4-5 a year above the 4.0 Richter, so far this year they're up to 15. Rancho Palos Verdes the entire town seem to be sliding away.
Wildfires in California, Nevada and Canada out of control, collectively evacuating near 1/2 million people.
Parts of Yellowstone closed to tourists because of unusual activity, Long Valley and Kikai Calderas also showing signs. Volcanos going off in the Philippines, Norway, Italy, Russia all at once.
There's more going on than politics. But since we enjoy it so much here, let's see.
Venezuela is low on the threat list, but recent events there could end up overflowing into the U.S.
Poland is using live ammo to stop illegal migration at their borders.
China may have problems internally which doesn't deter them from claiming lands that have protection from allies like the U.S. or provoking confrontation.
Similarly, Putin's policy of expansionism over Ukraine and threatening other NATO countries with talk of aggression.
North Korea increasingly isolationist and reactionary enough to constitute a credible threat.
Can we mention the Middle East conflict that is already prevalent on Universities across the U.S.?
And that's the meat of it. The Global situation is approaching a cusp, a decision point. Just as WE as American citizens are in the upcoming election.
The question is, which candidate do you feel is more qualified to deal with people like Putin, Xi Jing, Kim Jong Un?
Faced with the very real possibility of a catastrophe, who do you trust to deal with it?Last edited by Pyrate Jim; 09-12-2024, 06:44 PM.CT Co-ordinator, Paintball MarshalsComment

Not to mention the oncoming pandemic, gain of function, monkeypox.
Again, right before the election.
The fascists absolutely cannot win in a fair election, yes trump won 2020.

Well, go out and catch it, so you can tell everyone how much function you've gained...
But in realistic terms, when you have competency at the highest levels, when an epidemic does come, you prepare for it, limiting its impact, thus not effecting the masses. Kind of the opposite of what trump did.
And glad you admitted that trump is a fascist, but that is the whole point of fascism. You have to stack the deck so you win, and then take the deck away so you never have to loose again. Hence trump admitting that on day 1 he would be a dictator, as there won't be a day 2.
And if he had won in 2020. Why wasn't he in the Whitehouse? If he won in 2020, then he is ineligible to run again in 2024. If he won in 2020, then you wouldn't have maga hats with 45-47 on the side, noting the order of president's. If he won in 2020, then how are the indictments continuing onward? If he won in 2020, why do we call Biden POTUS? Why do we call Harris, the VP, when it should be Pence?
So wish all you want, and pick up a piece of poo and tell me what you have in your hands...Comment

So, are you sure about those numbers? I mean, half of you don't believe in the virus, half more don't beleive in the vaccine, and a half still believe that taking horse dewormer was helping you.
3 varied sources, none of which meet up with the numbers you speak of.Comment

“In the month of December, between the two vaccines — the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccine — we expect to have immunized 20 million of our American people,” Moncef Slaoui said on Dec. 15.
"With the pandemic still raging, at least 2.6 million have received the first of two Covid shots while over 12.4 million doses have been delivered to the states, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s most recent figures "so the doses were out there , but the States hadn't givin them out ?
With the pandemic still raging, at least 2.6 million have received the first of two Covid shots while over 12.4 million doses have been delivered to the states
Under Joe
On the day Biden was inaugurated, the U.S. administered nearly 1.5 million shots, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID Data Tracker. On that day, the seven-day average for the previous week was about 966,000 shots a day.
And besides all that ,, where the heck do you live, that things are better now than they were 4 years ago , like many here, I know folks from all over the world ,,, and I don't know a one that says things are better where they are now as compared to 4 or even 10 years ago ( from the folks in other countries )
Do you Grow your own food and raise your own meat ? Because groceries are damn near double , Fuel is damn near double ( though thanks to Joe for gettin prices down 10/20 cents before the election ,, 9 years ago I bought 50 SW 1 Blackhawks from Valken @64.95 a piece, now there 99.95 Prices are not going up ??Comment

1) Jym stated a figure of 3million per day. It was not like that. While those figures wax and wain like all mass averages, it does pale to the efforts the Biden had done in term. Not only did Biden get more vaccines out, but had to lay down the infrastructure to do so, as reports were out that beyond the governmental distribution, it was not in place for the populace.
In the quotes you made. There is a huge difference between distrubuted vaccines, and vaccines given out.

3 million is not stated in any of the facts provided. While it can be said that it is pedantic to round up and round numbers to suit your own narrative, 3mil/day is far from the 1.5mil to 966k/day that is even in the quotes you used. So, we can either talk in generalities or talk in specifics.
You talk like you are afraid of the rain, when I look at makes the grass grow. That is the ebb and flow of society and of life. You are generally supposed to make more money than last year, thus you are keeping pace with the cost of living. The cost of living is supposed to keep pace with your income. That is economics 101.

Now, I am talking about how things are better, in that we are getting the things that we need(actual infrastructure improvements and replacements), expanding on the things we will need, and keeping freedoms we already have. So there is not a lunatic that hates windmills, has no concept of tomorrow and doesn't look to get revenge on his political enemies. And that will contact the US will elect not only it's 1st female president, but also African American, Asian American.Comment

Yeah, I got some numbers wrong. I'm also cataloging all my paintball stuff before I forget what it is.
But at least we haven't gotten to this point... Yet.

Well, I would think k that 2 attempts on trump's life is significant, and not in a good way. No one wants to see any sort of violence, but is it a case of reap what you sow?
But you also forget Hamilton vs Burr in a duel.
Then there is the caning of Charles Sumner in 1856 by Preston Brooks.
Then there was a little thing on Jan 6th...Comment

Interesting logic. Can you apply that same to say...Abraham Lincoln? How about James Garfield, William McKinley or JFK?
Did any of them reap what they had sown?
Ghandi, Martin Luthor King, John Lennon. Go ahead, tell me they got what they deserved.
Or is it just Donald Trump?CT Co-ordinator, Paintball MarshalsComment

It isn't interesting, it is merely showing you that actions have consequences. When the right was making memes when Paul Pelosi was attacked, it was funny to you. You specifically might not have made a joke, but yet you didn't stop them either. So when someone who perpetuates that violence, by their own words, acting like a strongman, who will beat their opponents, then that doesn't work.
Lincoln was absolutely murdered over political violence. Lincoln destroyed the south's slave holdings. But with JFK, we do not know anything about it. Was it political, was it jealousy, was it motivated by something hidden. Have a nice trip going down that conspiracy rabbit hole. Garfield was assassinated by an anarchist. So is anarchy a state of being or political philosophy?
But what of John Hinkley wanting to murder Reagan for the love of Jodie Foster? I would even say that Lennon's death made him a much better person than in life. You can even say the same for MLK jr, too. Hence the gravitas of being martyrs.
Assassination is the most direct and drastic way of change. So many events spiral out of it and the shock of it is not always good. And what someone should do is to look at what the cause is, and make those substantive changes. So let's remove violence from the equation.Comment
