Yeah... I don't understand it. Opt up to play bigger schools, admitting we have no shot at a deep run... but then scrimmage the schools we were too scared to play in District? Somebody help me understand it.

Kinda like when they did away with slavery?

You, apparently.

Lololol…. So Trump was gonna do it “the right way?” He had four years? I guess he was too busy golfing to wrap up that insignificant detail. If Trump could have gotten them out safely, but didn’t… the blood of those 13 soldiers is on Trump’s tiny hands.

For what it’s worth, back in 2012 I was despondent because I thought the left had locked up the votes of the low-information voters. Turns out there are plenty of morons on both sides, as evidenced by our nominating a reality tv star with a bad combover and an unelectable personality for the third time.

If she gets elected, it’s going to be because we nominated the guy whose behind she whipped four years ago. Don’t blame the voters because we nominated someone who can’t win.

You keep thinking that this election is about policies and records. It’s not. It’s a pure likability contest, and all she had to do is be less unlikable than Trump and she wins. That’s it. She’s already winning. All she has to do is not make any huge errors and she’ll be inaugurated in January. Trump, on the other hand, has to somehow become more likable than she is… or he’s toast. He can’t do that by being a horses butt to get his supporters to cheer.

Your 401k is getting unburdened from what has been.

I’m sure they did… but that’s the problem. He’s keeps saying things to make people cheer who were already voting for him. He’s already got their votes… they love him enough to come see him. It’s the people who aren’t committed to him that he needs to be attracting. And 63% of Georgians support their Governor. Most republicans are out off by the infighting, and most outsiders want no part of it. It’s just dumb.

Meh…. How safe do you want it? 1 Thessalonians 5 King James Version 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

I disagree with you on this one. Joe Biden stated that he was going to select his VP from a pool of candidates, all of whom were women of color. That’s a textbook DEI hire. If a decision is made to select a candidate, and one of the qualifiers for the position is their race… they were hired because of their race, and other people got passed over because of their race. Honest question, that I’m scared I already know your answer. Do you think it’s okay to fill a position with a candidate who specifically fits certain racial or gender criteria? Like in this instance, where Biden stated loudly that his VP would be both of those things… female and minority.

Well, it looks like Trump is trying to win the presidency without Georgia. [Hidden Content] “The Doofuss Went Down to Georgia” yesterday. He went all in on GA Governor Kemp, who he still blames for losing Georgia in 2020. The guy has a 63% approval rate in Georgia and just beat the holy hell out of a Trump-endorsed challenger. That’s the whole problem with Trump… he wants to fight! fight! fight! with everybody- even the people on his own team. I’ll be so glad the day that Trump no longer controls the Republican Party so we can get back to winning.

This is the first time you’ve been right on an issue, lol.

You’re right… but I don’t think he’s capable. It was one thing to hold back while Biden was stumbling with a physical impairment. Kamala will be taking swings and he can’t just go after her, accusing her of being on the rag, calling her nasty, ugly, questioning her heritage, etc… but that’s who he is. It also won’t help that he was at least tied if not ahead of Biden. He’ll be trailing Harris in the polls by the time they take the debate stage. A threatened Trump is unbelievably dangerous-to himself.

By definition, if one person receives a job because of their skin color, then another person is losing out because of their skin color. It was wrong when applicants were excluded because of race decades ago, and its wrong when it happens today… renaming racism as “affirmative action” or “DEI” doesn’t change the fact that it’s still just racism.

Unless he’s raping them himself.

Gay people shouldn’t have rights?

I predict a return of that clown version of Trump from the first debate in 2020.

Yeah… he already agreed to debate Biden on abc 9/10. Now he’s “agreeing” to his own demand? Gotta go to Fox for some softballs and rules that favor him. Kamala doesn’t need to debate-she’s already spanking him in real time. “Madame President.”

Newsflash… that why they call then PROGRESSives. Conservatives want to keep things as they were or move them backwards, as in “Make America Great Again.” If you go backwards 160 years, conservatives went to war to preserve slavery and those pesky liberals wanted it ended. One day a smart person wakes up and realizes that neither side is completely right and neither side has been completely wrong. It’s a constant battle between changing and keeping things the same… not good vs evil, etc. Sometimes moving backwards IS the right way. Reversing Roe v Wade, IMO. Sometimes moving forward is also the right way…. The ACA doing away with the pre-existing condition exclusions, for example. It’s also important to realize that our societies are cyclical in nature. They all do it…. Creation, change, and ultimately destruction. Speeding up “Progress” only hastens the destruction. My honest opinion? The brightest of us realize that it’s already too late and we’re all just going through the motions until the shooting starts.

Buy you shouldn’t ignore them, either. And definitely don’t seek out ones that just say what you want them to say. Reagan’s already been up for three hours trying to find polls that show Trump leading. That’s more important to him than finding ones that accurately predict voter sentiment in real time.

I saw Jordan Peterson (who I don’t believe to be racist) explain it unflinchingly. DEI policies (like affirmative action) produce a substandard result. If you look at a selection of candidates who can be arranged in order by quality, skills, work experience, etc… then ignore those rankings to choose a winner based on the color of their skin, genitalia, or who they prefer to sleep with… you’re ending up with, by any possible explanation, an inferior result. “Our diversity is our strength” was simply an opinion, and a faulty one from most unbiased observers. You won’t field the best NFL football team if the owner hands the general a list of positions/races and tells him to find these people to fill the spots. QB-mute RB- obese lesbian left tackle-Asian entire secondary-female Middle linebacker-female to male transgender The owner then tries to promote the team as the “best” because they’re “inclusive.” Best by what measure? Because it won’t be by wins/losses DEI policies are no different or more correct than saying “this place would be perfect if only white dudes worked here.”

You seem to forget that our opinions don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. We’re conservative-we can typically be counted on to vote as conservatives. The ones who aren’t sure-the moderates and undecided voters are who determine who will be the next President. Her record doesn’t matter. Trump’s record doesn’t matter. What matters is who those undecideds are going to vote for. And they don’t care about records, races, or any other technical factors. They won’t vote did someone they don’t like. I know you understand the principle, because you readily admit that the battle will be won in the swing states, by fewer than 40k votes in 2020. But you act like you don’t understand why undecideds votes are so much more valuable than dem votes in California.

2000- “Al gore is the most tree-hugging liberal candidate the Dems have ever had .” 2004- John Kerry is the most liberal, war-dodging candidate the Dems have ever had.” 2008- “That Muslim from Kenya is the most liberal candidate we’ve ever had.” 2012- “Barack HUSSEIN Obama has been the most liberal president we’ve ever had. We won’t survive four more years of this .” 2016-“Killary Clinton was the most liberal senator that’s ever been elected .” 2020- “Joe Biden is the most liberal Senator/former vp that’s ever tried to be our President” while Bernie Sanders sits in a folding lawn chair wearing a $46 suit and refusing to pay for a haircut. 2024-“Kamala Harris is the most….. blah, blah, blah….” You see my point, Chicken Little?

My points are these…. Anybody that cares realizes that Kamala was selected as VP in 2020 from a pool of minority women specifically because of this moment. To succeed Biden and become the first woman/person of color President. If that’s the kind of thing that bothers you, it’s already been bothering you. If that’s NOT the kind of thing that bothers you, Trump pointing it out DOES bother you-so what’s the point of focusing on that? The only thing worse than her being selected for checking off boxes is her being attacked because she checks off boxes, or at least that’s the way most people feel. I personally think the debate can be disastrous to either or both. People will accept her being goofy over him being hateful every day of the week. I don’t think he’s capable of being reserved when pushed, and I think she’s very capable of evoking some very nasty responses from him. The problem is this-his supporters think that the way he treats people is okay. But if you don’t already love Trump, it’s a huge turnoff. But he can’t stop it. Why would he go to a hostile group of reporters just to act like a bitter old racist? To make people feel sorry for him? No, to prove to his supporters that he’s ready to fight, fight, fight… and Americans are sick of it. Kamala would be stupid to go on Tucker’s show-and trump had the chance to be likable, but he was himself instead. Every move he’s making right now reeks of desperation. I think it’s the biggest joke of all when trump cries about women being “nasty,” when that’s his bread and butter- his one-two punch. That’s all he knows how to do, but then acts like he got poked in his (brown) eye when somebody else acts the way he does. We can do this nastiness and childishness for four more years, or it can all be over now-if you vote for her. It’s a no-brainer for people who aren’t infatuated with Trump. Comparing Trumps behavior to Hitler’s atrocities is just hyperbole and exaggeration… I thought you like those? Oh, only when Trump does it, LOLOL. I use the Hitler analogy a lot. Not to compare atrocities, but to compare their supporters. I’m confident that if Englebert lived in Germany in 1943, he’d be saying “no way! He’s not really going to put Jews in ovens! Herr Fuhrer means he’s going to build a fire under them, metaphorically speaking…. To make them stop being so lazy so they can stop stealing all our money. He’s Germany first!”
