I agree. I think each issue should be taken on in and of itself. But as it stands trump is the face of the Republican party. They had several choices of far more rational candidates to choose from all three times he won the GOP nomination for president and he was by far the winner all three times. That was a direct choice on the part of republican voters. That's why we are where we are now.
I however don't think you're any happier than I am about that.
There's another thing I think we both agree on. Common sense has left the building. Whether that's from the far left or the far right. The extremists have taken over both parties for the most part and anyone somewhere in the middle gets rejected by both parties. We are left without a legitimate choice.
I haven't seen much about Dan Fogelberg. The guy was incredible. I was fortunate enough to see him here in Chattanooga 3-4 years before he passed away.
Yes, and Kennedy was shot by a lone gunman, the Warren Commission only printed the truth and Johnson made no money off Vietnam War. The Government never lies and Trump, he, especially, is honest as day is long.
There is a difference between liking and not liking a style of music. 60 years of Super Bowl, an American cultural event- why have a half time show sung in Spanish- 20 percent of nation speaks Spanish- why does the 80% have to not understand the whole show. I read eight different groups turned down the NFL- guess no English speakers wanted to perform. Made no sense to me- plus, if NFL is trying to keep a clean, wholesome identity the lyrics of a performer should be considered.
I Loved his football message! He had a group behind him with flags from every country in north and south America. and his message was "Together, We Are America" sooo USA isnt america? America is bigger than USA. He has a point.
Terrible idea. These age bans don't block people under a certain age, they block everyone until you prove you are over a certain age. You prove this by providing your government which is then shipped off to a 3rd party to do god knows what with.
The unauthorized party also gained access to a small number of government-ID images (e.g., driver’s license, passport) from users who had appealed an age determination. If your ID may have been accessed, that will be specified in the email you receive
And then today, discord announced they are doing this for the entire platform next month. Lots of backlash going on, we'll see if it forces them to back down.
Whats being disguised as something to protect the children is just a massive data farming effort to collect government id's on as many people as possible that will inevitably lead to mass identity theft.
There is only one person who heard all the details and allegations....
In her August 2022 ruling, former federal judge Sue L. Robinson, acting as the joint NFL and NFLPA disciplinary officer, described Deshaun Watson’s actions as “egregious” and “predatory”. Robinson found that Watson violated the NFL's personal conduct policy by engaging in sexual assault during massage therapy sessions.

You feel that way now. You obviously don't share that feeling when we were the people stealing it from others.
The only difference is that we actually committed genocide to wipe out those who were here before us. No matter how you try and paint it, there isn't some military force trying to steal our nation from us. There isn't some extermination of entire states and lands being committed in a show of force to overthrow local and state governments.
I'm all for removing convicted criminals and people who offer no value or nor contribute to our society or pay taxes. I'm not for herding people up like cattle with the use of force who contribute to our society, work and have committed no crime other than misdemeanor by crossing our border illegally. You keep talking about "doing it the legal way". Yet many people going through the asylum proces which is the legal way are being herded like cattle too.
Everyone needs to be held accountable from immigrants to ICE agents.
I get it. That's a middle ground. That's not some super liberal "Let then all stay" nor a "Herd them all up and deport them!"
Common sense left this country a very long time ago and not just from one side of politics.
Well Trump is batcrap crazy, and I agree 200 percent that nobody should claim to be superior because they are not, but that goes for Both sides not just the right.
Let me ask you this Pit. Are you the same man now as you were on your 20's and 30's? Your sounding like the stuffy old religious people your complaining about. Somebody not being perfect the day after they are saved. Just like stuffy old Christians who told me I was going to hell because I didn't follow their man made rules. Instead of the rules God told us to follow. So how are you any different ?
I'm not sure what that has to do with so many republicans claiming they have the market cornered on family values, Christianity and being the party of "The Christian right" while being no better than anyone else.
We are alike in many ways. And one of those ways is neither one of us claim to be perfect. We both understand that until the day we die we are still a work in progress. I believe we both understand that Christians belong to both political parties. I don't have any problem with that. That's honest and truthful.
But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. I am talking about people claiming quite the opposite. That it is they and they alone who stand for family values. That they and they alone represent Christianity and Christians as a whole. I'll give you an example. trump just said he doesn't understand how any Christian can vote Democrat. Once you do that you just made claims that you are somehow superior to "the others". When groups or political parties claim they are superior and anyone who doesn't go along with everything they say belong to "the Godless hoards" I think it's time every self respecting christian should call the out on that.
I'm one of the very people they have placed that target on the back of and I'm not going to be silent when they show their hypocrisy.
Those are the very type of people I am talking about. Once you sit in your ivory tower claiming some sense of moral and Christian superiority it's different. At that point nobody should be surprised that you will be held to the standard that you yourself claim you already hold and have achieved.
I understand just how offended your kind are when you point out the facts about our nations history. How #triggered and what a bunch of angry #snowflakes that turns you into. The Indians didn't "lose their land". Their land was "stolen" from them. That's a pretty basic concept.
Once again, there is a huge difference between "our nation needs strong defenses" and stealing a nation from others. In one case you are defending yourself and what's yours. In the other case you are attacking others and taking what's theirs. I have no idea what is so complicated about that you can't wrap your mind around it. Once again, trump acting like a petulant child and threatening nations weaker than ourselves doesn't make him strong. it makes him little more than a school yard bully. He doesn't dare threaten nations with a strong military. He only takes on the weak.
I'm not sure who it is you think your responding to here. I am for having a strong military. I am for having a strong defense system. I am a gun owner.
You bought up defending my home against invaders. Of course I would. Those invaders would be criminals. But you don't see it that way when we invaded the home of Native Americans. You have decided to pick and choose when you label invaders as the criminals.
And you react exactly the way you have been programmed to. When someone confronts you with the facts you claim they are crying. The only one crying here is you because facts are not your friend. No wonder you like trump so much. That's just another thing the two of you have in common.
The Indians were defeated in battle. They were a defeated people. They lost their land. If it makes you feel better our ancestors stole the land. Who cares. Every land in the civilized world was stolen from someone else. All land was conquered at one time or another. I am glad you would defend your home from someone illegally entering it. I wish you felt the same way about your country. Those people are also criminals. Same concept.

Somehow people can't comprehend the difference in being strong and and feeling you have to act like an azzhole 24/7. Acting like an azzhole 24/7 doesn't make people like Captain Bone Spurs tough. Playing the part of the bully doesn't make you tough or strong. It means you take advantage of those weaker than yourself. It makes you a punk.
Being tough isn't stealing our nation from people with primitive weapons. But I understand people are having trouble defining what "winning" means these days.
I understand "how it works". So did Hitler. He won a lot but just didn't know when to stop. The winners ended up being those defending themselves and not the ones trying to conquer others.
Men can be tough without being azzhats. They are not the same thing. While it seems like a mystery to some you can be kind while still being tough.
Libs can cry all day long about the poor Indians losing their land to the settlers. I don't see you or that idiot singer giving your land back to the Indians. Heck she even has a gated fence protecting her property from illegal entry into her property even though she does not think anyone is illegal. I would have to believe that you would be quite upset if you came home and someone was in your house. Bottomline is the Indians lost their land to a superior force. That is why our nation needs strong defenses, a strong leader, and strong men to defend it. Because the wolves are out there like it or not. Those same Indians stole land from other tribes all the time also. They did not play nice like Libs want us all to believe either with us or each other. They knew the score and they were on the losing side of that score. Just like they were on the winning side when they took the land from other tribes. It is well documented about the Indians battles between tribes and the loss of territory.
I don't have an issue stopping people coming into the country across the southern border. The numbers that came across during Biden's term were WAY to high. I dont have a problem with illegals that commit crimes being deported. What ICE is doing is nothing I agree with. They are operating above the law and bullying and terrorising us citizens without any accountability. They have shot/murdered two MN US citizens. They are 2 steps away from what we'd call a police state a decade or two ago before Trump and Bannon and his ilk just obliterated anything resembling a "norm"...
None of that is particularly relevant to Trump posting overtly racist memes of the Obamas... again. The only relevance is how someone pivoted the conversation about an openly racist President to having a country conquered or taken away from Americans.
On that subject ... The US being "conquered".... There have been many empires throughout history. They come and go. If you want to call the USAs current status and run as the #1 world influence and economy as a modern Empire .... It is far far far more likely to be torn apart and destroyed as we've known it for the last 200 years by the likes of t Trump and other extreme politicians intent on polarization rather than looking to the center and what unites the vast majority ... Than anything to do with immigration.

It was a 25 year old song that somebody on the left dug up and people starting posting it all over the place. They acted like he was singing it yesterday and guess what they did. THey got offended oh my. I think the song is garbage, but many of the folks complaining listen to rap every day that has worse lyrics.
