You want a striking display of differences between the two parties? You got it here. And you'll get it later today when they certify the results without incident. so years and years ago, I read 'Up From Liberalism" by WF Buckley (agree with him or not he was a great talent) and I remember he made a big deal in the very 1st chapter about Eleanor Roosevelt's supposed intellectual inconsistency when asked (after the war) about whether she would have shaken Hilter's hand. Her intellectual 'rigor' was not sufficient for him and thus neither was liberalism's. Now TBF, ER was nutty enough that no liberal should have felt the need to take responsibility for her anyway (finding inconsistency there was about like shooting fish in a barrel), but the larger point that Buckley and his ilk miss is that in real life 'intellectual rigor' must always founder on the immediate demands of humanity, which is why all rigorous ideological systems, whether left or right, ultimately fail when faced with the necessities of real life.

CMRivdogs Posted January 6 Posted January 6 This is the way it's supposed to be done, not like MAGAs four years ago Quote Pence praises Kamala for presiding over a peaceful transfer of power and “welcomes the return of order and civility” (PSA: when it only works this way when one side loses, we have a problem 🇺🇸) https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3lf3tmf2bi22a Quote
oblong Posted January 6 Posted January 6 things will always be "normal" when the GOP wins. When the Dems win we will get chaos as people like Pence and Romney, who still adhere to the old ways of dignity, get pushed out of the party for the kooks who run things today. People who enjoy the kooks are kooks themselves who probably walk around in **** stained underwear and haven't seen a dentist in 23 years and haven't had 'consensual sex' since they raised the age of consent in their state from 14 years old.

I took a look at the video, it looks like he’s using a cane and is disoriented or something. Possibly a stroke victim? Harris engaged with the rest of the family with no issues.

smr-nj Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I also am sorry I jumped to conclusions. That was wrong. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Glad to see the gang feels bad now. You guys wanted to find some way to be outraged today by something. Quote

Or he’s ignorant and can’t read. He’s gotten to the point where he contributes nothing of value to this forum. He used to but now he’s gone full troll. That’s what happens when people get infested with the maga bug. It’s a virus that eats brain cells. 2 2 Quote

Tigeraholic1 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I try to be respectful of everyone. I beefed with ROM but we agreed to give him is “safe” space so that is squashed now. Please point out my inaccuracy’s and take assurance I know I am not always right. I enjoy debating with everyone. Quote

The asshole is blamed because while you’re right several overreacted because they assumed the worse due to a letter R after his wife’s name, you have to rub it in. Couple that with the hypocrisy that if he truly had snubbed her and admitted it, you would have bent backwards to find a way to defend that. Quote

That’s because the Democrats are rules followers, and the Republicans are rules breakers. Beware of people who celebrate the idea that Democrats are suckers and losers because they follow norms.

ewsieg Posted January 7 Posted January 7 11 minutes ago, Tigeraholic1 said: Yet I made no comment until actual facts came out. Still, did you not notice people that overreacted initially come back and retract it? I haven't been on this site much due to vacation and prior to catching up on this thread last night, I had seen the video posted about this husband as well as another video which wasn't cropped as much where his cane was more obvious (you mean someone posted it in a way to illicit a rejection...oh my!). So yes, I was a little annoyed at the overreaction as well and was going to post about it.... but instead doing that, I finished catching up on the thread and saw people admit they may have made a mistake. End of story. I know it's not as fun as 'getting a win', but you don't always have to go for the gotcha, especially when folks already admitted they may have made a mistake. You could have chosen to still post something and point to the cropped video and made commentary pointing out the left pulls the same crap the right is accused of and left it at that. That would have been a valid point, instead you mock them about just needing to find a way to be outraged, which is a tough pill to swallow when the current leader of the GOP (Elon) is on his social media platform daily expressing outrage at anything he can find. 2 Quote

I think our posters try not to get caught by and repost troll jobs, but we all get suckered in once in a while. You just acknowledge it and move on. When it happens I don't care if the 'opposition' take a victory lap as long both winners and losers maintain a little class. The personal stuff is never needed. Edited January 7 by gehringer_2 Quote
