  1. Juvenile hunter fatally shoots suspected thief with arrow: cops (msn.com) This is an interesting story, although I have to admit I don't particularly believe all of it. Read it and let me know what you think. Also, for whatever reason Microsoft Edge is the web browser at my new work, so when I get on during my lunch break, I'm not cruising MSN news. They just have a home screen with dozen of news articles, some of which I find interesting.
  2. It will not be allowed. That said, all of you folks who are throwing slightly better veiled insults aren’t doing much better.
  3. Agree. And the odd thing is that the exact group of people who wanted Clinton expelled from the white house for getting a mouth hug hold Trump up as the second coming of Christ or something. Bizarro World is an apt description.
  4. I've always found this really strange myself. Trump has basically been a moderate democrat his whole life. He gets elected and runs the country as a moderate republican, and somehow he's literally worshipped by some of the most backwoods, peckerwood ultraconservative folks I know. I'm not talking about your average conservative who liked and supported him because they thought he did a good job. I get that, and to a degree I fall into the category myself (although I didn't like him much). I'm talking about these folks who have this weird, undying devotion, flying his flag a year after he lost and plotting his 2024 uprising. Driving through Woodville a couple of months ago I passed this old redneck flying a confederate flag and a trump flag in an abandoned lot next to the road, holding a sign that said "pray for america." It was saturday afternoon and that was what this guy chosen do with his day. 8 months after the election. A guy i know who's been fired from multiple jobs for his racist behavior is the biggest trump supporter I know. I just don't understand it. Trump has way more in common with your average moderate democrat than your average conservative republican.
  5. Trump turned them away with arrogance, Biden with ineptitude. While I’d gladly take arrogance over ineptitude every time, having a little class and humility goes a long way towards endearing yourself to the American people, which goes a long way towards getting you re-elected
  6. You can see my reply to lumraiderfan as my reply to this. It’s the same point I was making to you. And I’ve seen a steady shift in the Hispanic vote moving right, especially in the older folks. They generally work hard and support a lot of the same things that you and I do.
  7. And god forbid you want to go to a bigger school. It would cost me my annual salary to attend a couple of semesters at bigger public schools, and that’s a salary with a degree.
  8. I completely agree with everything in your statement. What I’m trying to say is that sometimes we tend to dismiss people because their ideas don’t make sense, but this is dangerous because there is still power in their numbers. No matter how bad someone’s politics are, if enough people agree with them then there’s a danger that those politics will be forced on everyone, and we’re seeing that now. So the problem I had with your statement was this: it might be “their fault” for voting out trump because he hurt their feelings, but he still got voted out, and we’re still having to deal with Biden because of it. Part of the responsibility of a politician is to be appealing to as many voters as possible, and trump failed miserably in this area. We’re all now paying the price for this. I don’t particularly care for him as a person, but I wish like heck he would’ve toned it down a little and got re-elected, because for the most part I thought the country was in a pretty good place under him. That was the only point I was really trying to make.
  9. You're really missing the point. I highly doubt CB voted for Biden, and he's certainly not advocating for him.
  10. Just keep doing you. That's what Trump did. Insult half the country for how stupid they are, then act shocked when half the country showed up and voted him out of office.
  11. And old folks are too stubborn and too rigid to acknowledge that the younger generations have completely different politics as the boomers. I side with you conservative folks on most issues, but the whole "the left is so dumb because they're not like us" argument just doesn't fly anymore. I don't like a lot of the things that they do, but that's not going to change the fact that they're gaining more and more control politically, and their politics and beliefs are affecting serious change. Insulting young folks and democrats isn't going to help. Just ask (ex)president trump.
  12. Idaho nurse who refused COVID vaccine dies: brother (msn.com) 'Unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated' mother-of-four dies of COVID (msn.com) Mom of 4 Dies of COVID 1 Week After Firefighter Husband as Family Urges Others to Get Vaccinated (msn.com)
  13. I think, if we're honest, a republican president could do an equally bad job and would still have a certain level of support from some diehard republicans. There are plenty of dems out there who are still going to support biden simply because he's not a republican.
  14. You can blame whoever you want, but Trump acting like a jerk lost him the election, even if it pumped up his ego and his ultraright fanboys.
  15. I made my post before I read this... but yeah, I can see Trump beating Biden, but I don't know that he beats out an exciting new candidate, if the left can find the right one.
  16. Is it really that hard to understand that in this new generation of social media influence that having an obnoxious, unlikeable, extremely visible presence on the most popular form of social media can affect your standing with literally tens of millions of people? MILLIONS of people who normally would've not bothered voting got out and voted against trump because they didn't like him. Biden wasn't a popular candidate, he just wasn't Trump. All those guys out there like you, who got pumped up when Trump was an insensitive jerk who was "telling it like it is" and "taking it to the man" would've voted for him anyway. So while his disrespectful, arrogant attitude and lack of a filter might have won him a strange, unnatural support from a certain group of the ultra right, it turned off the voters he needed most.
  17. If it's on the internet and says what he wants to hear, it's a valid source. Any legitimate source that disputes his fake source is "fake news." It's just the way things work for some folks.
  18. If Biden runs again, this is a possibility. But I don't see him running again. If the dems can find a candidate that people feel like they can get excited about, possibly even let the guy sacrifice Biden in the media and tell how much better he'll do and why, then a democrat could easily beat trump again.
  19. The natives won't like what you're saying, but this is a very likely scenario, and one that I've predicted to other people before. People that normally don't care one way or another, or who are willing to vote for either party based on the candidate will get out and vote against him, and he'll lose a close election again. And the people that hold him up next to Jesus will swear that the only way he possibly could've lost is that everyone cheated, and not that he's an insufferable blowhard who's capable of inspiring as many people to vote against him as for him .
  20. A good sign, but closing it down would be a bad thing (unless they can still provide this service locally in other locations)
  21. This poll should terrify Democrats ahead of 2022 (msn.com)
  22. You have to if you're going to claim that people are making it out to be more serious than it really is, right?
  23. Didn't someone smack you in the head with one of those big metal cigarette butt holders at a waffle house? Or was it IHOP?
