And you are what you are which is even sadder. I suppose the only way that people like you will understand anything is to elect Biden and then watch his monsters move in and destroy this country. Only then will you possibly understand what you are asking for. Your pathological Trump hatred blinds you to that reality. Trump is far from perfect, no question. The alternative is far, far worse but you can't see that, can't understand that, and so you go on and on with your insanity. Over and out. Like Mike454 I am done wasting my time with myopic mental midgets like you. I'll check back in on election day after we kick your asses at the polls. So, bloviate on, George. Shriek into the darkness where the only sound is that of your miserably incoherent and pathetic voice.

Delusion is probably defined as an impression that is falsely maintained regardless of reality. Please look up on the web. So who is delusional over here? Elephant or Donkey or only MAGA's??

America was greatest under a fucking womanizer name Bill Clinton. The economy was greatest, you could get a job even if you have tiny bit of education. WE have budget surplus and people of color were not blamed for all the problems of US.

What we had after he left?? We were attacked by some dumb fuckers, we had endless wars and economy took shit despite all the tax cuts under Bush. Greatest recession since 1929.

Obama rescued the US economy and we had steady growth for the longest period in the history of this country. He tried to provide the best health coverage to poor people and partially succeeded to guarantee health care for per-existing conditions.

Now under YUOR god trump the pussy grabber, we have race riots in US, people who work hourly jobs are in deep shit because of pandemic, no body knows how to fix economy, how to bring the nation together and blaming everything on democrats. This country is going to be in deep shit if he is elected again. You MAGA guys will sucking Putin's dick and this country will never be great again.

I think I'm going to retire from this thread, it is just stupid dicks on both sides.

HobbyMan,

Over the years so much has changed: Once upon a time the republicans were for balanced budgets and financial restraint. Going further back, the Republicans were the party of freedom and equal rights for blacks. Now, Republicans don't seem to have a problem with deficit spending, bloated budgets and tax breaks for the well to do. On the other hand, the Dems used to be the party where most white racists hung out, now its the other way around. The Dems of today aren't leftists in any way. Ever since Clinton, the dems have been moving to the right, essentially being forced to do that by Newt Gingrich's Contract on America. The idea that liberals are leftist is spin from the propaganda machine. Take note, those with the most money tend to control the messaging we are all exposed to. If I hear first hand Trump say something ridiculous to the press, which he does almost everyday and, an outlet like CNN reports it or comments on it, that is called reporting and we should be thankful that some media folks take their jobs seriously. The best chance for common ground is to begin to agree on what the facts are and begin open conversations about our values. We aren't all that different but each group has some measure of alternative facts because the media is about money, not reality.

ARG.

I appreciate your response and completely agree with you that money is bottom line with the media. I have to disagree with you about the Dems moving to the right, though. Someone else posted that theory a while back on this blog and I just don't see it at all unless you are considering that what they are promoting these days is so far to the left that it has curved around to the right. Another thing that I agree with you about is that Newt started this scorched earth animosity between the parties back in the mid-nineties with his take-no-prisoners approach. As far as common ground is concerned I'm very pessimistic about achieving that again until something cataclysmic occurs to drive more of us back to center again. Historically that seems to be the only way back to some semblance of sanity, something we don't have at all right now.

Trump IS a xenophobe.

If having border protection and employing scrutiny when allowing people into this country is xenophobic then count me in. People like you and Sgt. George throw your little phrase-bites out there without any thought about what you are saying other than you hate Trump. Ok, then hate Trump. But if you hate Trump that much then you damn well better enjoy what the Marxist / Anarchist Democrats are going to do to you and the rest of us if your collective hatred brings him down. If that is what you really want then go for it. If you do happen to get it then I don't want to hear any bitching from you fuckers after you realize what you have reaped. Over, out, and done.

Liberals and conservatives used to balance each other out and the result was a somewhat balanced middle ground, the real truth being always somewhere in the middle. Now that the middle ground has been eliminated we are left with two unbalanced ideologies that left unto themselves would eventually destroy everything including themselves. Although I have no love or trust of Republicans the conservative approach seems to me to give us the best chance of at least some kind of balance and common sense, concepts that are completely lacking with the leftist / liberal approach which is to destroy everything without having anything reasonable to replace it with.

I cannot tell a lie "George Washington".

I cannot tell the truth "Donald Trump".

I cannot tell the difference Trump supporters".

It is, what it is. Sad!

Hey SkyWookie,

News flash, Newsweek has always been considered more right leaning than anything else. You might say it is to the left of far right but that still leaves it in the conservative, mainstream republican camp. Second did you read more than the headline because you have your FACTS wrong (big surprise there)? The article does NOT suggest that republicans are better looking. It suggests that better looking people tend to vote Republican because they have an easier life than, well, ugly people. It amazes me how a simple headline can be so wrongly interpreted.

This is from a liberal rag news source. Republicans are better looking.

And your boy Biden called him a xenophobe for shutting down air travel from China in January but in your twisted mind that is refusing to take action. Sorry George but you are the one who doesn't see it, won't see it, can't see it. WE will vote Trump back to the White House in November as we prepare for the insurrection from the mindless left.

Trump IS a xenophobe.

I need to search it out and report on it, otherwise people like you would never get laid, oh by the way, you're welcome. It's kind of like a public service, or charity if you will for people like yourself

Hey to each their own, but I stay clear away from the bottom barrel rental pussy market.

Quoting Twain. Things that make you go hmmm.

Sssh, if I threw a stick, you'd leave, right?

[HobbyMan51]

Trump in his own words captured in the Woodward tapes, shows he had a perfectly sound understanding of what COVID entails how it works, how dangerous it can be, who is at risk, etc. and he knew this pretty much from the very beginning. But instead of acting on that knowledge, much less passing it on to the American people, he very deliberately said the exact opposite he LIED and refused to take any action.

The way Trump chose to handle the US pandemic wasn't really the actions of a bumbling, self-besotted narcissist too stupid to focus on or absorb the facts but the cold-blooded response of a sane monster

I'm doing just fine George but thanks for the advice. Trump said something stupid months ago during the apex of the madness, something that he didn't believe at all, a regrettable and awkward attempt at humor. He should have known that disingenuous rug rats like you would beat this to death forever. It's all you've got though so enjoy a good laugh with your smug self. Anyone like you who really does believe that Biden is the answer should follow their own counsel as it must be awfully dark for you up there. You are so desperate. Too bad you can't see it.

Yea right! Wasn't there a Mark Twain quote along the lines of "never argue with a moron, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience"?

Quoting Twain. Things that make you go hmmm.

[SkyWookie]

So, wookie with your good looks WTF are you searching for bottom of the barrel pussy on FIB....lol

I need to search it out and report on it, otherwise people like you would never get laid, oh by the way, you're welcome. It's kind of like a public service, or charity if you will for people like yourself

While I am disgusted by their duplicity regarding covid and the leadership seriously makes me want to puke, fucking Pelosi, and the far left has become as big a lunatics as q'anon I honestly believe in my heart that the right would allow capitalism to be completely unfettered which would hasten the US's fall into a total oligarchy. I think the left, to some degree (less and less every day honestly) could still stand as a deterrence to the complete corporatism of the US. It's difficult for me because I'm a capitalist at heart.

It may also be the last idealism of my youth and habit as well.

Believe me when I tell you I think about it a lot given the choice I'd rather see social democracy break out in the US. I've spent a lot of time in Europe and I know there is a lot of propaganda on the right about Europe but if you spend a few years there you would see that they have it going on.
