  1. You're damn right it is!
  2. And good on the Falcons for getting in on the fun.
  3. Maybe you can stick around, and we can sweep together.
  4. Alright I'm out, I know I'm an idiot and deserve scorn but I like this place. I'll try to do better.
  5. I just addressed that one. I thought you were talking about the statement about Trump loving America.
  6. You think Trump could relocate to another country and generate the same level of influence & power as he's doing here? Any other country would rightfully lock him up and/or just kill him.
  7. To be clear, I never suggested I thought Trump right for the job. If I could go back and rephrase one thing it would be that Trump and Biden are equally bad. I shouldn't have said that. Clearly, Trump is far worse but I still think Biden is an awful choice of leader for the country in 2023 and potentially for a second term.
  8. The rules are a little different when it comes to a message board. - Guy who hasn't dished out a single piece of neg rep on this thread, and won't. I tend to stick to pos-rep only.
  9. Completely agree. That's what I meant at the time and what you just articulated in more words. He would not be able to do this in any other country in the world.
  10. I'm not moving any goal posts...I'm standing behind what I said and just clarifying for your dumbass since you obviously think I meant something else. The joy of message boards.
  11. For sure, in his eyes we're lucky to have him.
  12. And wait, I'm not saying his love is somehow because he wants what is BEST for America. I'm saying he loves this country for what it enables him to do.
  13. I think he loves the fuck out of this country because it empowers the narcissism. He knows exactly what he's doing.
  14. I appreciate that. If you don't know of her though, you should at least go listen to bits and pieces of it. Good insights. 23 minutes isn't that much time.
  15. Wait, you don't think Trump loves America? Holy shit. Where would he be without it?
  16. No you can't, but you can certainly learn lessons from business and apply it to government.
  17. Fair. Where I disagree is this continued notion that republicans suck and there's nothing Biden (or any president, for that matter), can do about it. I don't readily accept defeatism. Big surprise.
  18. I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else, in fact engaging like this reminds me how poorly I sometimes get my opinions across in message board world. Disagree that not committing to a side is lazy...at present both parties are abject disasters. There is a reason nearly half of the population now identifies as independent.
  19. Not at all. See my post above about Thasunda Brown Duckett. It's been ignored thus far, I guess either people disagree with her qualities or it's just part of my apparent troll act. We are fortunate to have a lot of those types of people amongst us, and they are hestitant to get involved. We'd be better off if they did.
  20. If that makes you feel better, so be it.
  21. Dishonesty...that's interesting and I'm sorry you feel that way. Lincoln led the defense of the Union and helped abolish slavery. Yes, he was president during our most divisive years but his actions undoubtedly made things better for the nation and for our people in the end, and he paid for it with his life.
  22. Agree to disagree. Sorry my takes piss you off so much.
  23. Happy to share names but please don't ignore the context, which is the longer term need to expand the pool and refine the process from which we attract, vet, and select political candidates. I understand pulling someone out of the private sector is an unlikely/unrealistic expectation at present, but perhaps there are ways to introduce more of the notable people I'm speaking about to the public at large. Let's start with someone like Thasunda Brown Duckett. I love her views on various financial topics and she gets into some specifics in this clip that resonate with what I'm "poorly" trying to say in this thread. She's clearly hesitant to get involved in our political spectrum and that's a real shame, I think we'd all benefit if she did.
  24. Thank you for your meaningful contribution.
  25. He managed to garner a 2/3 majority on a constitutional amendment when doing so seemed impossible. You can think he was the most divisive, but I disagree.
