  1. Can some of you MAGA/Trump diehards explain why every Republican that doesn’t outright support the unsupported claims of fraud and overturning of Democracy as we know it is now labeled a RINO, or has to worry about reelection? How is this turn of events not seen as a problem on the right? It is totally possible that the GOP loses the Senate because of this sentiment and Trump’s inflammatory words. That is an outcome that is highly undesirable, but they won’t have anyone to blame but themselves. Trump and his MAGA crowd will have effectively handed the senate, and therefore, tons of control to the Dems. Great... I just don’t get it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Your last statement is patently false. They may not be as effective as N95 masks, but they do tons more than most think. Google it yourself, but MIT (I think it was them) did a super simple study proving this. N95s are best, but if EVERYONE started wearing something, anything with 2 layers tomorrow, we’d be much better off. Again, we’re in this quagmire because people have made the idea of wearing a mask a political badge. Proud D if you wear it (or an ashamed R) or a proud R if you’re clearly smart enough to know this is all just a hoax. Sorry for the hyperbole... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Ridiculous! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. True statement. I don’t hear any Gen Xers out there saying, “hey, we’re happy to pay our debts! Leave us out of this conversation...”. We’re all too happy to let someone fight the fight and look like the mooches because we know it will benefit us to get loan forgiveness. I paid mine off long ago by the way.

  5. The simple answer is because our country politicized this from the beginning. Had this been taken seriously by leadership, people would be doing more to help each other. Instead, it's a political issue to show your allegiance with your side...
  6. Kinzinger seems like a good dude, and one of the only GOP members with some moral courage, but from some of the stuff I’ve seen on here, he’ll probably just be discredited by the likes of SIM and others anyway.
  7. Highly disagree. Most military qualify (I barely slip in there because of joint filing) but definitely don't "need" it. The Rona has not impacted me financially at all except for what I choose to eat extra from local establishments. A lot of my family, even non-military didn't lose their jobs. Just thinking of way to help.
  8. So, my wife and I were talking about th3 stimulus checks. What if we set up a GoFundMe for people to donate theirs (I don't need it for sure) and then find charities that are directly supporting people that have been affected by the pandemic. I'm sure tons wouldn't give up their free money, but lots would, and it could help a ton of people. Government can't figure it out, so maybe we do it. Thoughts?
  9. We ordered Christmas dinner from a local place to throw a little business their way with the side benefit of having more time since an entire day wasn’t thrown away with cooking. I’ve probably spent more on take out during the pandemic than in the previous 2-3 years combined. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. I did an exchange with the French. They don't try in any way, shape or form to hide the fact they they are constantly collecting information on us. Must be taught in their basic training because EVERYONE did it.
  11. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/equity “the quality of being fair or impartial” Maybe I’m misunderstanding the point you’re tying to make. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. My point stands in spite of the wild rabbit hole you went down. At no point did I say everything is wrong because I haven’t seen it. I simply said I have to question the validity of what you said because it wasn’t representative of my experience. You are the one who passed your earlier comment off as if it were a fact. If you didn’t check that fact, why should I believe you check any of your facts? And your rape claim comparison is beyond ridiculous. Whole argument is stupid anymore. You guys keep claiming crap with little credible evidence. It’s been rejected by every court out there, regardless of their political leaning. The election didn’t go your way, so like a lot of idiot democrats 4 years ago, you’re all crying that you must have been cheated. Accept it already, and stop crying. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I have to question the validity of all of your statements because my experience doesn’t match what you say. I registered to vote in DC, and I was required to provide evidence of where I live with a statement from a utility/valid photo ID, whatever. https://dcboe.org/Voters/Register-To-Vote/Register-to-Vote There is even a website explaining this.

  14. Facts! And anyone thinking we're the only ones spying on our allies. We just got caught is all.
  15. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-homeland-whistleblower-idUSKBN28R33L Link just gives what could be some more info on all the protests last summer for those that were saying the violence was coming mostly from the left. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but I’m sure diehard Trump supporters will deny it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. I found definitive proof that Trump is a Russian lapdog from their rally yesterday...That helo ain’t ours.🤣
  17. Well, you gave good, solid answers... Thanks for the discussion.
  18. So, just how much violence is required for it to be "fishing for a civil war"? How many people died? How many were injured? How many billions of $$$ were lost in the violent riots that were active attempts at starting a civil war? How many people has Antifa killed over the years? How many died in the Oklahoma City bombing? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that dude was homegrown. How much damage was caused? On par with the violent riots this summer? I'm not saying any amount is justified. It's not. But I'm just curious what your threshold is for starting a civil war? I think you know the answers to those questions. Right wing extremists have caused way more death and destruction. Those are the exact same types of people actively calling for war now. It needs to be discouraged by GOP leadership. Trump needs to squash that talk. No one's blind to the incredible amount of flaws in the Democratic party, they suck! But comparing people on the right who are literally calling for civil war to people who feel targeted by society (and their demand for equality) the same is silly. Are some of the uninformed people in that cause hurting their own cause? You bet, but they're not calling for civil war. Who knows? Maybe you're right.
  19. So how is what he said an example of bias? A bunch of whiney babies cried when Trump was elected and said they were moving to Canada (kinda like when a bunch of people did the same when Obama was elected), and there are people (even official GOP people like AZ) saying it's time to fight and be willing to die for Trump. He pointed out that it is an absurd comparison. Where's the ridiculous bias? Are you saying the social justice movements this summer were active attempts at starting a civil war? And the people who moved to Parler, or somehow think Qanon is legit, or epoch times, etc. are reading those posts, so not sure why you are so confident no one is reading them. They're strong in their echo chambers. Probably safe to say nothing will come of that garbage talk, but to say no one is reading it is what seems ridiculous. Last point, it is beyond stupid that the GOP is still remaining silent while this kind of talk is ongoing. I have hope the GOP can make some kind of recovery or a move to normalcy again, but their deafening silence makes that tougher. If this is another case of me missing sarcasm, my bad. I don't see the /s this time 😂
  20. 🍺
  21. The guy clinging to desperate lawsuits with dubious, at best, evidence and hearsay/eyewitness testimony from very credible people, posting conspiracy after conspiracy from super credible sites is calling me disingenuous? 6-3 conservative majority on SCOTUS. They recognize the absurdity of these lawsuits. 9-0 against the GOP effort. Sorry. What is disingenuous about what I said? I know you won't answer it, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Correct me then, if I'm the one being crazy, how many challenges has Trump's camp won so far? 1? Doesn't the WSJ have a bias to the right? https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-challenges-to-election-face-end-of-the-legal-road-11607518944
  22. SCOTUS ruled 9-0 against Trump’s PA challenges on the election. Those libtard democrats must have gotten to the conservatives on the court to not have acknowledged all of the fraud that went on... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Just saw another article, still not been located. Wishing him well!
  24. You clearly understood the intent of the post... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. I wondered the same thing.
