You may enjoy posting everywhere, including bonfire, but for some SC is ground zero.

It's a huge, inseparable, part of his identity that gives him a certain sense of superiority. You know, sort of like being a skydiver does for others. And, just like even if you haven't jumped for decades you still think of yourself as a skydiver and might from time to time lord it over the odd whuffo so it also goes, apparently, with having been airborne.

Your local post office, very likely, has a sign in the window that states: "Heroes work here" above an American flag. No one flinches or even quietly calls bullshit because we have become a very jingoistic nation. Even if Brent didn't go to war he deployed, just like Tim Walz, overseas in defense of America and deserves our thanks, respect, and the protections our nation should afford it's military veterans. But he has not earned the right to curtail our First Amendment right to not STFU which, ostensibly, he was on the wall in Lithuania to protect. We are on a dangerous trajectory when we believe our nation is a binary composition of military veterans, the overwhelming majority of whom just held jobs in safe places, and whuffos who never wore a uniform.

Even if you are Evil Kneivel, Houdini, or John Glenn? Each and every last one of us needs to STFU? Alrighty, then.

Slowest start to Atlantic hurricane season…

Because the people whose money it is are counting on you? -
Yep. Now it's Comrade Kamala. Two days into the DNC and I have to say it feels durable. A nice poll bump post DNC and another round of money coming in could be significant if not decisive.
-
Yeah, but who knows how much coin the Russians, Chinese, and North Koreans are giving away to buoy the price and curry favor with our traitor in chief.
-
Unless you get paid to do it, why do you or anyone engage him?
-
Who even cares? It's that or start a new thread to not follow. More useful and fun would be knowing who is blocking whom. Apparently not even the Mod's know that.

The predominant American is female, the average American thinks Kung Pao Chicken is authentic Chinese food.

Well, I'll be dipped in doo-doo and rolled in cornflakes! George Bush gave us National Rum Day? I've always said he's a helluva guy. Damn, I'm getting teary eyed here.
-
Brent and Winsor think she's awful, incompetent, a looming disaster, and the worst of our choice: high praise indeed.
-
The average American has no clue what drives those things and, seemingly, neither do you. So forgive me if I take a pass on their opinions and your hypocrisy over ad hominem attacks in calling Vice President Harris a "cackling hyena". I am of the opinion she's being smart not doing press conferences or any interviews with any brand of press. Not because any failings of hers that might be exposed but because the media is a damn joke across the spectrum who are only interested in gotcha's and eyeballs. If I'm Harris's team I'd be telling ABC they're getting one chance to be professional journalists at the debate and if they screw it up to expect nothing afterwards.
-
Just did myself. Absolutely agree with your every observation.
-
Thank you. At least you only moonwalked around it twice. So no more denying you prefer Trump over Harris.
-
Agreed.
-
Why not show some cojones and come right out and say you'd rather have Trump than Harris as our next President. You're aware it's one or the other, right?
-
Post #666 in the Replace Biden thread. I'm calling it a decent paraphrase.
-
And you had the audacity to tell Kallend he was just an angry man screaming? When Harris wins you can attribute it to your binary analysis for the day. I'll just be happy that Trump lost.
-
Go for it, Brent. Our excitement around Harris is that she seems poised to defeat Trump, no more. Apparently that does not please you, your contrived protests not withstanding.
-
This is bullshit by any measure.
-
No, it's not. You are a bitter man, Brent. You are not a troll, you are just a generic naysayer.
-
Seriously, so what? Sure he's fishing for reactions but just being sophisticated and subtle doesn't make it not trolling. We're all looking for a reaction of some type, that's reality. Also, just because a thing has an expanding internet definition doesn't mean it's just plain awful. Sure Brent is often jerking chains but as often he's proclaiming what he truly believes. Maybe others want to block him over the trivial difference but I'll take a little chain jerking to engage on the stuff he's really wrong about. How else will I change the world?
-
Yes. If that were the future here I'd accept it on honest principal and make whatever plans needed to safeguard my freedoms. Which aren't many because the freedoms I am concerned with aren't my freedoms; they are the freedoms of my fellow citizens. So in that regard we are quite different people.
-
Not me, I want Merchan to rule that based on Trumps statements and conspiracy claims he's not certain he can understand the seriousness of charges against him. Then postpone sentencing for a week pending a complete psychiatric examination at the Central New York Psychiatric Center. And then have him hauled off then and there for the exam.
