Well, our Poor

[DeeDave]

Only the most ignorant will continue fighting for the left but we all know a few will die on that hill. Sad but comical watching those STILL defending the indefensible. A true idiot can’t admit failure. These are the true failures of humanity.

Pray for them 🙏

I will argue for the left depending on the issue.

But I'm not a right winger. So, of course I will argue for the left depending on if I agree or not.

I'm somewhat conservative on a few issues,

i'm middle of the road on a lot of issues

and I'm left wing on some issues.

 

[DeeDave]

Yeah I'm at that point myself. The only ones left in this thread are the nut jobs. Posters like @Lurker123 are too ashamed of them to even make appearances.

There are a few pathological liars here- and there are a few that are conspiracy theory nuts, and a few that are somewhat reasonable.

Thank God I don't have to deal with liars and the conspiracy theory nuts in real life.

I use to. My wife's best friend's husband peddles some in conspiracy theories, mainly political ones. We use to be good friends but he went down this road pretty far after Trump had been in office a few years. He was never a big Trumper though.

About a year ago he was at my house in the summer for one of our summer BBQs where we take friends and family out on the lake and then we have a big BBQ here at our property. For some reason, he started up a conversation with my father in law about some conspiracy theory stuff of his that was political. My father in law doesn't like political stuff at all and doesn't want to talk about it and I could overhear the conversation. Eventually, I stepped in and told him if he couldn't change the conversation, I'd ask him to leave and not come back to my house and a few other things where he got the message his opinions on such topics weren't welcome.

My wife got a bit upset with me, but I told her I wasn't going to entertain that crap at my house, especially from a guest. He got the message, changed the subject and has never mentioned it again. I appreciate that and respect him for that. He knows I have not a problem in the world telling him to not come back to my home. I can be damn direct in person if necessary and everyone that knows me knows it.

My wife later told me his wife gets upset when he starts talking his crazy talk but she just has to put up with it. She's a great lady and I respect her for that too.

Thankfully, he got the message, and we've had some nice visits since then and things are fine and we've moved on. We aren't friends like we use to be- I wouldn't consider us friends at all now- but we can talk and hang out a few times a year without a problem.

 

[uscwatson21]

Wow. You really believe the government is superior to Americans. Ok this was a wasted conversation.

Government failed and contributed to every one of these catastrophes

This is the problem when government fixes a problem, you forget what life was like before the government created that safety net. That's why you talk about the 1920/30s except social security was created because seniors were literally unable to quit working and those that couldn't work were literally starving.

 

[uscwatson21]

Because that is what you usually do when someone spends the money you give them foolishly.

Like I said, they have plenty of money for illegals. Plenty of money for their green energy friends. Plenty of money to pay off student loans for people that clearly could pay them off themselves.

If you've got money for those things, then don't come back to me for more money to do the things you are actually supposed to be doing.

There is zero chance you're in a tax bracket high enough that Democrats want to increase taxes on you. The only people who want to tax you more are Republicans who want to shift the tax burden from the richest of the rich to your tax bracket.

 

[uscwatson21]

Wow. All the talk about preventing the spread of drugs and lowering crime and in the first 24 hours he pardons the dude who created the Silk Road.

Imagine being this morally bankrupt.

 

[FORKCOCK]

Where they hell do you hang out? Maybe you should adjust your hang out locations a bit.

I have guns. However,

I know a few men that carry everywhere they go. They are seemingly scared to death.

I realize anything can happen but in well over 50 years, I've never come close to ever needing a gun even once.

Your comment about your friends that carry being scared to death is such a panty waist liberal thing to say. How many times have we seen mass killings take place where just one person could have stopped it? I think it's great you've never needed to use a gun for defense but I'd never want to prevent anyone from having the right to protect themselves or others.

SS was created as another slush fund and here we are again. You just proved the point. Another epic government failure exposed.

There you go again deflecting. I don’t care if I pay 1k or 100k in taxes the point is the money is stolen or wasted. It cannot be defended

Gomey is projecting again. The grift remains strong in 2025.

Oh and Dave - Thanks for keeping up with us each day even though you toured the world this summer.

Whether it was at a Cafe in Paris, a Gondola in Venice, or the Redwoods in CA -- you've been committed to logging on everyday and spreading as much propaganda as humanly possible.

The kids are back in school now so I'm sure your back in the burbs.

I just wanted to give you a shout out to your unwavering commitment to this forum.

Just added a trip to Europe for the family to catch up with my in-laws who are there for the summer.
Didn't think I'd have time but worked it out. Been on the move all summer.

I was in California, Nevada, New York, Eastern Canada most of June. I like to travel. My daughter had been wanting to go out to California so we spent some time there. Then spent some time in Vegas with my wife and daughter.

Also cruised some of the intracoastal, and hit Lake Keowee, Lake Greenwood, Murray, and Hartwell for some extended weekends in May and early June.

My in laws are travelling in France and Germany this summer and I wanted to try to catch up with them but doesn't look favorable at this point.

Ulbright did nothing but create a website and served big time.

To the contrary....

 

[Ward Jr]

This is your concern? What a Bird Brain.

Gomer, she's perfect for your new Teen Mag.

 

[Ward Jr]

As if they needed more evidence.....They did their best to shred all of the evidence and pardon all of the crooks involved.

However, Pelosi didn't receive a pardon. I hope she goes to jail. She really deserves it for a host of reasons.

You know who started using SS funds to pay for other things? Republicans. So they could cut taxes.

I doubt you even knew that.

They might just cut all taxes for everyone once everything gets rolling. Your head will explode.

Don’t worry we’ll take care of you after government fails you. But your going to work for it. No more free ride so start getting in shape. It’ll be tough for a while but you’ll feel so good actually accomplishing something at the end of the day

Oh really? When I arrived on this site, you were an absolute freak.

Calling people every name in the book for absolutely no reason.

You couldn't post a line without mentioning Trump.

You talked glowing about CNN and your CNN+ membership.

You bragged about ditching friends who were Republicans.

Now you're a middle-of-the-road guy? Please.

When your whole platform is trying to overturn to the things we've already won. Doesn't that necessarily require that we've already won?

That's the beauty of being on the right side of history. We always win at the end.

Yeah the Nazis got a few years of being in charge, but eventually the liberals came through and vanquished them. The same will happen with our modern Nazis.

It's only Day 3 Watson. Only 1,457 to go.

At the very least, you're going to have a very long four years and you're not doing very well today.

Can't imagine what your trolling looks like at the end of 2028 based on what we are witnessing.

Couple this with a long, cold tour in Greenland. Yikes.

Whatever make you feel better teach. Clutch tightly to your failed beliefs and embrace your denial. After all your entire life is built on these failed teachings. Totally understandable. Your a victim of group think. You have no experience with free thinking inside your self made mental prison. Unfortunately for you that bubble has burst and no longer exists. It must be terrifying but luckily for you we’re a compassionate forgiving society that fights even for you.

Gotta give the left credit for the effectiveness of the group think training implemented effectively locking brains of the weakest inside their cult. They will go to the grave questioning nothing and doing as they are ordered. Hard to believe these people exist but we know firsthand they do

All of this rambling of the budget from the same posters who supported the worst spender in history in Biden (Gomer, Watson, Stock) and Trump might be getting rid of the Federal Income Tax very soon per New York Times.

All offense in this new administration. Maybe time to lose your small, big-government controlled mindset.

Stock - What relevance do you think this is?

Do you believe it's possible that people purchased more DJT in anticipation of the inauguration and now the inauguration has passed?

This info is right up there with Lurker's Annual Pansy Report.

Yep, it’s the old stock market adage of (paraphrased) “buy on the rumor, sell on the fact”

 

[hahnenkampf]

This is what really breaks my heart. You clearly see how the average person is struggling. How do you come to the conclusion that giving Billionaires more money is going to fix those problems?

Once again, Watson, it is an economic fact. Adam Smith described how it happens in 1776 when his Wealth of Nations was published. Peer-reviewed research over the years since has proven his described process as being valid. Simply put, billionaires continue to put any profits they make (or save via less taxation) into additional job-creating projects. Further, Billionaires are tremendously philanthropic so they contribute huge amounts of money to social charities.

While I am not a Billionaire (yet) I contribute almost 40 percent of my stock market profits to charitable organizations that help the less fortunate. Of course those contributions are tax-deductible for me which only serves to help me make even more profitable investments and thus more dollars available for charitable contributions. I do exactly what Adam Smith predicted I would do 200+ years ago.
