    First time since Hoover has a President lost this badly.

    Any conservatives here still believe they knew what they were voting for when they voted for Trump? Any liberals here still believe we should let bygones be bygones?

    I'll assume, then, that you aren't in treatment.

    Yes, the belief is a common one amongst schizoprenics. But as a mental health professional you knew that, right?

    Have you ever taken the MMPI?

    That darn narcissism, standing alone, believing you are right and everyone else is wrong no matter what you hear. When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad World.

    For the win: ryoder. It is mental illness. Now I can't say who, without giving the wrong impression here, but I have posited on these pages that it's a problem that is best understood at the level of the brain. It's nothing more than a predisposition developed by associations. Not too long from today we'll understand the religious mindset in the same way we understand Tourette's syndrome now.

    It actually started much earlier. Bill was born to a very poor circumstance and, to be sure, he's made the most of it. As a kid he'd take any job available just to buy food and the mismatched sneakers he's always seen wearing even today. Early on he started trading used baseball gloves which gave him the idea of going to MIT. One day, whilst walking along a street looking for returnables, he noticed one of those Duck Crossing signs you see here and there and had an epiphany. The very next day, after sourcing an appropriate uniform from discards in nearby vacant lots, he stationed himself at one with a cardboard Duck Crossing sign. The genius bit was he charged 5 cents per car. It didn't take long before he was known as the Duck Kid and folks would go out of their way to give him a nickel. He's a real American story and a true inspiration.

    You can do it all day, that's sure. Why not stick to traitors and hero's and leave the goal posts alone?

    But definitely don't mention that conservative ideology encourages the killing of mothers and the infirm.

    I knew you couldn't do it. There are lot's of Gods, Ron. You just want everyone to be a serf to your favorite deity. And that you think liberals believe it's just OK to kill babies is both insulting and insane.

    Nothing short of an exorcism will do in my opinion.

    He's not gone yet and when he is no longer president he still won't be gone. Read this for a little bit of awakening: https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/fintan-o-toole-trump-has-unfinished-business-a-republic-he-wants-to-destroy-still-stands-1.4435655

    And pay his wife's way, too. She's ill and heavily reliant on money from blue states to keep her healthy. The hypocrisy and disconnect from reality is impossible to fathom. Then there is the nonsense of Trump standing strong against China. For his entire presidency Trump has been dancing backwards like Ginger Rogers to Xi's Fred Astaire and Ron is too imbued in his fantasies to see it. Worse, he can not see how un-American and damaging to our nation is his desire to see the election overturned. Truly, it's an R thing: now, me and today never realizing where the real danger lays.

    I honestly do not believe he can put a coherent list together. It's just a thing like socialism which isn't a thing when it comes to his social security checks and his medicare.

    Please break down what exactly you mean by "liberal ideology".

    Wishing you a warmer and more salubrious New Year. Me, too.

    So my whatshername, I need to be more observant, was looking at my screen when I typed that. Pretty sure I'll wake up with a cauliflower ear.

    False equivalency. Arguably, idiot local sheriffs who want armored personnel carriers with a mounted .50 machine guns are a part of a national problem, id est the pointless militarization of not only our local police forces but of the very citizenry they are charged to protect.

    What if the writers intention was to make you think?
  22. JoeWeber
    Do you understand the meaning of every poem as I do?
  23. JoeWeber
    Negatory. The writer can never know in advance what capabilities, prejudices, life experiences and so on the random reader will bring to the text. The writer can only write what they want to write. Beyond that it is all on the reader.
  24. JoeWeber
    But they are your interpretations of the interpretations, right? After all, be any book a book of fact or fiction any confusion or misinterpretation of the writers intent must fall to the reader.
  25. JoeWeber
    That's because he's an arrogant asshole with a badge, tell him I said so. Being a hick Sheriff does not automatically confer sophistication, wisdom or a worldly view. The problem is that it's not a novelty. The problem is that there is too much of it and it all sends the wrong message.
