One thing I have grasped is that you are quite capable of droning on and on endlessly and whining incessantly and prattling on and on repetitively about the poster who resembles you the most, and you believe he looks foolish but cannot seem to grasp the concept that he's emulating you.

Have a nice day! :)

You seem to enjoy letting everyone know that when someone like Nypoet makes a fool of themselves that you can do it too!

After all this time and effort, you still seem quite incapable of grasping the simple concept that JL's persistence in the advancement of his wonderful pie is the equivalent of your enthusiasm for your venture. When I support his venture because I like the pie idea, it is in no way whatsoever any different than someone who would sing the praises of your political efforts... if there was any such person in existence, of course.

I'm beginning to think you're just jealous of pie, but you needn't be. The world is big enough for JL's pie and your pie in the sky fantastical purity test.

So to recap: I will choose chocolate and whipped cream with sprinkles over unicorns that fart rainbows every day of the week. :)

1. try offering them pie

You simply cannot go wrong with pie. :)

the thing that all successful movements for change in US history have in common, from abolition to metoo, is that a great many of the people who initially shared the idea chose to join up. if people in your immediate purview are not choosing to join you, i have 3 suggestions.

1. try offering them pie

2. try changing your idea to appeal to a broader base

3. “Or, better yet, why don’t you take a personal check out of your checkbook, roll it up real tight, and then cram it!'”

campaign finance inequity is not slavery, and you're no abolitionist.

Exactly this!

"You say I'm mentally 'not there'? Really Donnie? OK, quick quiz -- what year did the Spanish Flu happen in?"

Yes, he does always say 1917! Gets it wrong every single time. But what do you want to bet Donnie wouldn't answer but use the question containing the term "Spanish Flu" as his justification for using the term "China Flu" over a century later and go off on one of his word salad tangents about that! He's slippery, that one.

When Trump says "1917" (as he has repeatedly for the past few months), jump in with:

"BZZZZT! Wrong answer, thanks for playing! It was 1918. It's a fact. You can look it up. But you haven't. You keep getting this wrong over and over again and nobody has bothered to tell you that you are flat-out wrong.

[My suggested addition] And another thing, Donnie, I shouldn't think I should have to tell you this fact because your grandfather who immigrated to the United States from Bavaria was walking one day with your father and became extremely ill and died at home the following day, diagnosed with pneumonia but turned out to be one of the earliest cases of H1N1 of the 1918 influenza pandemic. So how you don't already know this is beyond me and truly mind-boggling beyond belief.

OK, let's try a tougher one. You keep bragging about Article II of the Constitution, can you quote one single sentence or phrase from it? Just one? If that's too hard, how about you quote one sentence from ANYWHERE in the Constitution? You can't, because you've never read it! Go ahead -- I dare you!"

This! But would we put it past him to whine some gibberish about "blah, blah, whine, whine, impeachment," and he'd be technically correct because of Section 4 of Article II!

I know, I know, it'll never happen, but it's fun to think about.

Yes, it sure is. Speaking of debates, I think Biden will do just fine in a one-on-one debate with Trump. Because it won't be one of those affairs with 10 people and too much going on in myriad directions. Let the games begin. :)

I've been thinking that Biden should challenge Trump during the debate, something along the lines of:

"You say I'm mentally 'not there'? Really Donnie? OK, quick quiz -- what year did the Spanish Flu happen in?"

When Trump says "1917" (as he has repeatedly for the past few months), jump in with:

"BZZZZT! Wrong answer, thanks for playing! It was 1918. It's a fact. You can look it up. But you haven't. You keep getting this wrong over and over again and nobody has bothered to tell you that you are flat-out wrong. OK, let's try a tougher one.

If that's too hard, how about you quote one sentence from ANYWHERE in the Constitution? You can't, because you've never read it! Go ahead -- I dare you!"

I know, I know, it'll never happen, but it's fun to think about.

CW was wrong when giving me the yellow card.

Oh, I respectfully disagree. Your language and posting habits being such as they are.

But just as the mistakes made by politicians that took big money in the past can be forgiven as long as they do the right thing now, CW is forgiven provided he does not repeat his mistake.

You're funny. :)

But I refuse to do so when the powers that be turn a blind eye to my contributions and ignore that Weigantia wouldn't EXIST without me...

Now that's funny!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Moscow Mitch says we're having an election on time.

Poor Donald. The beers are coming off the wall at a fairly regular rate, and the idea he floated to postpone the election isn't catching on with the GOP. Winning!

Didn't Trump take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States? Do you think he's even read that thing or have any idea what it says? It appears he doesn't.

The fact that you poll everyone, who are as much of a President Trump/America hater as you are simply proves my point that I don't get a fair shake here..

Mike, you're not Trump.

Remember, long ago in the BT times (before Trump), when conservatives would heap scorn on liberals for "playing the victim card"? Manly conservatives would never do such a thing, because they were tougher than that. They laughed and laughed at liberals trying to "out-victim" one another.

Yeah, those were the days, weren't they?

Heh.

Trump, earlier this week:

He's got a very good approval rating. I like that, it's good. Because remember, he's working for this administration. He's working with us.... And he's got this high approval rating. So why don't I have a high approval rating with respect -- and the administration, with respect to the virus? We should have a very high -- because what we have done in terms of -- we're just reading off about the masks and the gowns and the ventilators and numbers that nobody's seen. So it sort of is curious. A man works for us, with us, very closely, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, very highly thought of. And yet they're highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality.

Waaaahhh! Wahhhhh! I'm the victim! Everybody hates me! Wahhhh!

Sigh.

Translation:

"I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here."

I literally thought that exact same analogy, and then I remembered EM and I having our posts eaten for typing "cas_ino" so I didn't post it! Too funny! :)

But you are not stating that "lives matter"..

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing.

You are singling out a specific race to indicate that specific lives based on race, specifically above all other lives, matter.

Perhaps you have confused me with one of those tiki torch carrying racist right-wing white supremacists. No, sir. I saying exactly "black lives matter" and nothing more than that. If you're reading more into it, then you're simply mistaking my meaning. Black lives matter; they definitely do. Women matter. If you think that's misogynist and it means that men don't matter, then you're simply reading more into it. Not rocket science.

And THAT is pure unadulerated and unequivocal racism..

Incorrect. Black lives matter. That doesn't mean that other lives don't matter or I'm excluding any other lives; it simply means black lives matter.

How can I get my point across. *thinking* Okay.

Black cats matter. <--- Having said that, it doesn't mean that I don't believe white cat don't matter or calico cats don't matter, it just means what it says: Black cats matter. Got that?

No matter how you try to spin or sugar coat it...

It's not spin... just third-grade simple English, actually. Black lives matter.

The fact that you can't see this reality is exactly why your Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party will lose in Nov..

I'm not a Democrat no matter how many times you flat out post that lie.

Because real, sane and patriotic Americans recognize the real and blatant racism and bigotry coming from your Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party...

I'm not a Democrat, and that Party doesn't exist. Lies do not magically become facts if you post them repeatedly; they just don't.

Have a nice day. Study your simple English phrases. ;)

If I am not free to speak my opinion within the confines of policy and rules, then that is simply one more indication of where the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter cult is leading America....

That Party doesn't exist no matter how many times you post it.

I mean, I am simply gabber-flasted that Weigantia would have a Name Calling Contest...

It's no different than a bumper sticker contest to name something. I believe it was, after all, Your Orange Worship who was the catalyst for the name calling of his political opponents and all the chants of "lock her up." I'm guessing if Donald Trump didn't bring the gutter to American politics that you'd have never seen a reciprocal type issue on this forum.

I am totally blown away that it would also have a TOE THE IDEOLOGICAL LINE OR ELSE policy..

I must have missed that.

So, apparently, according to Vick, YES>.

What part of "just kidding" was unclear? It was an "anecdotal" joke about how if one person says it or had it happen to them, then it's proof that it applies to everyone similarly situated. You may know people who use anecdotal evidence as proof for an entire group? Okay then, it was a joke about that. :)

White guys DO get arrested for locking themselves out of their own house..

He said "professors." How many "white professors"?

I know of a whole whopping zero of them.

That is simply another form of bigotry that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is famous... infamous for..

The Party that only exists in your imagination and not on this planet.

It's why they are going to lose the election in 96 days..

I don't think Donald Trump will win unless he cheats. The GOP has gone dark in Michigan and has all but abandoned it at the present time. Could that change? Sure. Is it likely to change? No. :)

The only one asking you to leave is you. Not me, sorry.

You used to be able to take constructive criticism. Apparently you can't any more. That's a shame, but it doesn't mean you are somehow being banned or censored.

Deal with it.

So, I'll check in in the morning whether Weigantia will descend into pure unadulterated hatred and bigotry and disgusting & blatant attacks on wives, children and grand children of commenters...

Or if it will actually support differing opinions that DON'T toe the line of the status quo Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

I'll check in in the morning to find out which way things go....

But I refuse to do so when the powers that be turn a blind eye to my contributions and ignore that Weigantia wouldn't EXIST without me...

Donald Trump may very well get reelected, but I make you this promise -- and you can take this one to the bank -- he won't be doing it with "over 40% of the black American vote" unless he cheats.

Donald Trump will be lucky to reach the 8% of the "black American vote" he received in 2016 and will most likely received somewhere in the 4-6% range depending on the exit polling.

Seriously. :)

I understand that you don't have someone you love as much as I love my wife, my children and my grand-children and you don't get upset when they are demonized and vilified as much as mine have been...

I pity you that you can't feel that.... I really do...

Oh, yeah. It would be losing face (and money) wouldn't it?

That depends on CW....

I gave my thoughts.. Either CW quits with the bigotry and the political based harassment or he tells me that my function to bring a counterpoint, reality based and factual process is no longer welcome here in Weigantia...

The ball is in HIS court....

Dominoes delivers in about 30 mins... Hopefully we'll know by then if Weigantia descends into another bigoted run o the mill Limbaugh-esque hate-fest..

Or if it actually welcomes differing fact-based opinions...

Time will tell..

Or maybe he'll just slink away without another word.

As usual, you are completely and utterly wrong again..

It's a habit with you...

Or maybe he'll just slink away without another word.

No, the balls in your court, tough guy. Are you going to run away and hide?

So, You're My Reason really is unusual, then! :)

Compared to the other music of Prism, it most definitely is.

JL had posted a nice song by Moxy Früvous, and I kept listening for multiple songs after that one played out. Well, after that, I had one of those Moxy Früvous songs stuck in my head until it was finally replaced (the one with the word "pie" in it). So much so that some of my crew were asking me what the heck I was singing, and it was this:

King of Spain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once I was the King of Spain
Now I eat humble pie

Just say the word...

You're wussing out on the wagers, aren't you? No surprise.

I have better things to do than to see my wife and children and grand children constantly demonized and vilified and attacked in the most disgusting and profane manner, that YOU turn a blind eye to, SOLELY for Party slavery purposes...

Tell me that FACTS and REALITY are no longer welcome here in Weigantia and I'll live..

Balls in your court..

Just let me know...

Say the word that a counter-balance to the hysterical and BS Trump/America hate and bigotry is no longer welcome..

I'll be happy to leave....

Just say the word...

You used to rip on Republicans when they deserved it. So... how would you rate Mitch McConnell's actions over the past 2.5 months?

He has some rough spots... I don't agree with everything he says..

Not, tell me where you condemn the Democrat Party for the last 4 years..

You can't because you don't...

(1) You're right, guilty as charged. I did not actually review 40,000 comments from you.

Thank you for proving my point..

Why is it so hard for you to understand that people are annoyed when you post 100-200 comments that all SAY EXACTLY THE SAME THING?!?

Because they don't.. They are all in response to different actions by the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party..

Actions that YOU fail to condemn at EVERY juncture..

What does everyone else think? Is there one voice who will speak up and say "I actually enjoy reading Michale making the same point six or seven dozen times each and every day?"

Anyone?

The fact that you poll everyone, who are as much of a President Trump/America hater as you are simply proves my point that I don't get a fair shake here..

There was a time when you welcomed the counter-balance to your dogma BECAUSE it kept you honest and part of reality... Now, you have no interest in being honest and part of reality...

But now, because you REALLY hate President Trump, that counter-balance is no longer welcome..

Fine.. Say the word and I'll leave...

That's all you have to do...

You're not serious.

(1) You're right, guilty as charged. I did not actually review 40,000 comments from you.

(2) Because I didn't have to. I remember them full well.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that people are annoyed when you post 100-200 comments that all SAY EXACTLY THE SAME THING?!?

When did I say you couldn't say it? Here is exactly what I said: "So please, can you just post the above comment ONCE OR TWICE per article, and let it go at that?"

It's not the content, it is the quantity. So stop with the whining about how you're being censored, because you're not.

What does everyone else think? Is there one voice who will speak up and say "I actually enjoy reading Michale making the same point six or seven dozen times each and every day?"

-CW

The simple fact is, I am being asked to censor my viewpoint...

Oh, poor, poor pitiful you.

Nope, you're not being asked to censor anything (well, except the profanity). You are being asked to MODERATE the QUANTITY of repeating that same viewpoint over and over and over again.

There's a difference. Go back and read what I read -- where do I ask you to censor your viewpoint? All I ask is that you express your viewpoint a few times, and then not repeat it every 5 minutes for the rest of the day.

You speak of the days of old on this blog, well I remember when one daily column didn't generate 200-600 comments. People discussed the column, went off on tangents, argued with each other, and had some fun along the way. Instead of having to scroll through miles of you ignoring all evidence not to your liking and proclaiming every opinion you have as FACT FACT FACT when they are actually just that -- one man's opinion.

"But I was right in 2016!" Yep, and you were wrong in 2012 and 2018. Nobody knows what the future will bring, sorry to have to break it to you.

Did you actually actively review them??

No you did not.. You simply posted what you THINK they were..

Which proves my point exactly...

Say the word and tell me that I can't post any more facts or reality and I'll leave..

That's where this is heading anyways..

So why not just make it official...

MC,

And I'll be thrilled that it's provided by morons who actually thought President Trump would lose when ALL the facts prove otherwise.. :D

So do we have a wager? Or are you all talk and no walk?

Terms:

Black vote (BV) for Trump over 50% MC pays CW $200
BV over 40% MC pays $150
BV over 33% MC pays $100
BV over 25% MC pays $50

**The black support Trump won in 2016

Wager shall be determined as follows (as posted by John M)

As pointed out by C.W. ONLY EXIT POLLING gives that kind of racial breakdown. So if you accept it based on an average of exit polling data by all networks: NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC then you have a DEAL.

Please confirm our wager by noting this comment's number and copying & pasting:

MtnCaddy you better start saving up your money, foole!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Or even a simple "Yes."

Do you want a side bet of $200 on Trump wins re election?

Trump is re elected MC pays $200 to CW
Trump is not re elected Michale pays $200 to CW

AS I wrote,

Excellent, Brother Michale! I knew you'd agree that NOBODY really "loses" this wager as the winnings go to CW.com, yea verily!

So SHOW ME THE STRENGTH OF YOUR CONVICTIONS or it'll be clear to all that you've here just to troll and not to contribute in any way to Weigantia.

3 Months Of Hell: U.S. Economy Drops 32.9% In Worst GDP Report Ever [npr.org]

32.9%... Wow, that sounds worse than the 33% JL had posted. ;)

The moose poop has hit the fan and it's starting to spray. August is going to get really ugly if the Republicans don't get their act together on the federal unemployment benefits. And that might not even help. Moratoriums on evictions, both commercial and residential are ending...

Buckle up, America. It's going to get worse as the Trumplicans drag this out. If this goes on very much longer, I am going to begin to wonder if there isn't some sinister reason behind wanting so many people displaced by the GOP inaction.

How is that any different than the constant Trump/America hate on a daily, oft times HOURLY basis..

Now it's just 24/7 Trump/America hate, day in and day out..

OK, let's go back and check the record, because you have suspiciously left a large chunk of it out...

[Reviews 40,000 comments Michale made during Barack Obama's presidency...]

Let's see...

Hourly hatefests towards Obama/America? Check.

So filled with hate it saddens me? Check.

Obama hate 24/7? Check.

So in other words, what you are saying is:

"I should be allowed to spew hatred towards a Democratic president all the time, but when there's a Republican in the White House nobody else is allowed to do what I've been doing for 8 solid years."

Is that about it?

Talk about your thin skins... after all, we're all just following in your footsteps. You apparently can dish it out, but heaven forbid you have to take it in return. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, dude.

Try reading for once. It's not the content but the shear volume that CW seems to have a problem with. Saying you hate BLM and Trump will win is different than posting walls of text ad nauseum with the same opinion. I do not see anything in CW's comment that you can't express your opinion. It's the trying to drown out everyone else with your opinion that seems to be the problem...

It isn't racist to claim that lives matter.

But you are not stating that "lives matter".. You are singling out a specific race to indicate that specific lives based on race, specifically above all other lives, matter.

And THAT is pure unadulerated and unequivocal racism..

No matter how you try to spin or sugar coat it...

That thin gossamer skin is showing through, again. :)

I don't think it's a thin skin to want to be able to speak one's mind free from dictatorial influence 1984-ish group think...

If I am not free to speak my opinion within the confines of policy and rules, then that is simply one more indication of where the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter cult is leading America....

I mean, I am simply gabber-flasted that Weigantia would have a Name Calling Contest...

I am totally blown away that it would also have a TOE THE IDEOLOGICAL LINE OR ELSE policy..

But it DOES indicate where all the Trump/America hate and bigotry is heading...

And it's NOT a good place that any sane patriotic American wants to go..

Black Lives Matter is just as racist as White Lives Matter..

Correct... neither of those statements are racist.

Black Lives Matter
White Lives Matter

It isn't racist to claim that lives matter. It would be racist to claim you were of a superior race like the right-wing tiki torch carrying idiots and flag waving fools that worship Donald Trump. If Trump wasn't racist, he'd have no reason to tell people he was going to make their suburbs safe by doing away with a program that was designed to help people of color. Full stop.

Got it. Your thing is really just an obsessive-compulsive fixation with CW.

Ooooh... nailed it, JFC. :)

I have no reason to or interest in soliciting aid from Putin, his TV station or his trolls.

I get more than enough input from trolls such as Listen, Kick and yourself right here in comments like you just posted

And yet, you are, in fact, the only one out of all those people you mentioned to have had the Yellow Card thrown on them for being exactly what you are taking issue with now. You know the rules such as they are now, and yet you've continued to ignore them repeatedly.

I cannot fathom how you haven't had the Red Card thrown on you already under the circumstances. You definitely deserve it, in my opinion.

Have a nice day. *waves*

Because, if it is, just tell me now.. I don't have to waste my time here anymore...

That thin gossamer skin is showing through, again. :)

But that doesn't change the fact that racism is already defined.. And no amount of Left Wing intersectionality carp is going to change the accepted definition amongst sane and patriotic Americans..

It isn't racist to claim "black lives matter." What would be racist would be to claim that they didn't matter... you know, like Donald Trump did when he removed a program designed to help black lives and tweeted out that the suburbs would now be safe because of his actions. Now that would be racist and racism.

Any more questions?

It isn't racist to say that someone's life matters. It is definitely racist to take actions that prove your belief that they're criminals and that they don't matter. You might want to review the handiwork of Your Orange Worship for what racism looks like. He's the poster child for it.

He was detained because he was a dumb-arse..

It's like when yer Left Wing rags spew the hysterical and BS headline

"BLACK MAN SHOT FOR BROKEN TAILLIGHT"

Of course, we come to find out that the FACTS and the REALITY was that police pulled over a black American for a busted taillight and the black American came out of his car shooting at police...

That's the kind of "reality" that ya'all and the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter morons spew..

also the GDP shrank 33%

Thanks Trump!

Is that an order??

Because, if it is, just tell me now.. I don't have to waste my time here anymore...

You can justify it however you wish... Even if you are completely wrong.

You see, the thing is: JL is correct.

But it's simply a fact that, you single out any specific racial group for whatever you want to claim..

It's racist..

Incorrect, although context matters. It's not racist to claim that a race matters regardless of the race that the "color" represents. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous right-wing rhetoric designed to marginalize and easily sweep others under the rug... which more closely matches your definition. :)

So, apparently, according to Vick, YES>.

White guys DO get arrested for locking themselves out of their own house..

But, regardless, you are factually in error..

Gates wasn't detained for locking himself out of his house..

He was detained because he was a dumb-arse and refused to follow the lawful orders of law enforcement..

Something that ANYONE, white or black or green or purple would have been...

I know, I know.. You think all cops are racist monsters..

That is simply another form of bigotry that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is famous... infamous for..

It's why they are going to lose the election in 96 days..

Great post!

how many white professors get arrested for locking themselves out of their own house?

Well, I know this one guy... so that means they all do. Yep... just kidding.

Great post. :)

I will when the Trump hate isn't so prevelant..

Comment about someone else's comment. Comment about science fiction or music.

I do.. ALL the time.. And then get attacked for off topic stuff..

But put a cork in the repetitious same-old same-old so the rest of us can have a conversation.

In other words, forgo the FACTS and the reality in favor of Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter dogma..

Is that an order??

Heh. For what it's worth, your gifts are a nice gesture, but I think he'd enjoy them so perish the thought.

Okay, here's the deal. We got some rules now whereby we are not saying smutty things and are attempting to be fully formed adult citizens of a functioning society:

I mean, honestly.. I hardly read the commentaries any more because they are so filled with hate, it just saddens me..

When I first came to Weigantia a decade and a half + ago, there was a lot of Bush hate et al.. But it was interspersed with a LOT of taking the Democrat Party to task for various things you knew they were doing wrong..

Now it's just 24/7 Trump/America hate, day in and day out..

When was the last time you actually seriously read the riot act to the Democrat Party?? Not in years... He**, ooops.. HECK, you barely award a MDDOTW award anymore and when you do, it's for some obscure Democrat in Bumfraq Kentucky that no one has ever heard of..

What happened to the REALITY based forum???

I only come here anymore to interact with people like Liz and JL and to get the facts and the reality out there...

Yer absolutely factually accurate, though..

It IS time for an intervention..

But not on my side of the fence...

The only reason I hang around is that, once President Trump glides to re-election with over 40% of the black American vote, it will be such a shock to ya'all's system that it will snap you back to reality and allow Weigantia to become the forum of yor'....

If ya'all double down on the hate and the bigotry, I likely won't stick around beyond to make sure all the wagers are settled up with Weigantia to get you covered for the next couple years to come..

"It's right up your alley. I'll tell you what, why don't you come down, just the pair of ya, for the weekend? I'd love to have the opinion of a paleobotanist as well, I've got a jet standing by at Choteau. I could compensate you by fully funding your dig.... For a further three years."

I think you're onto something. ;)

I just want you to know what was stuck in my head after Sunday night. Not Freddie Mercury's masterpiece or even Disney's "Canada" or a wet 007... but that Prism song of yours that I listened to for chord changes.

Oh, dang... it's back.

This is on you! ;)

You DO realize that George Wallace was a Democrat, right?? :D

So was Donald Trump.

Doesn't do your position much credibility if you are posting about racist Democrats..

On the contrary, it gives his position all that much more credibility to point out that there are racists in the Democratic Party... because there are indeed racist Democrats as well as racist Republicans.

There are even racist opportunists who jump all over the political map and claim whatever Party they believe at the time will get them ahead; there's really only one of those that I know of, and he's been a member of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Reform Party, and claimed to have been an Independent... whatever it takes to get ahead, and his name is Donald Trump... con artist extraordinaire, and he preys on the gullible.

Really? You never saw this?

Dude, it's time for an intervention.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you have become downright boring.

Seriously, man, we all get it. You don't like BLM, and you think Trump's going to win. How many hundreds of comments are you going to post that say exactly the same thing? Here is what the rest of us read over and over and over again:

Hey, I just read an article from someone who agrees with me, so I'm going to post a whole bunch of it.

See? BLM sucks! Democrats suck! Trump is going to win! He can't lose! FACT FACT FACT FACT FACT!!!

I mean, we get it. We really do. That's what you think, and no evidence or contrary thinking is going to budge you from thinking it.

But it's really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really boring to read it, over and over and over again.

You used to be a lot more interesting, dude, and that's what even people who disagree with you miss. So please, can you just post the above comment ONCE OR TWICE per article, and let it go at that?

Seriously, we don't need to read it forty or fifty times every day in order to get your message. In fact, the more you post exactly the same thing, the more the rest of us think: "Wow -- he's really insecure about this, he must have some serious doubts that Trump's going to win." In other words, the exact opposite of the impression you're trying to give.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, comment about the article I've written. Comment about someone else's comment. Comment about science fiction or music. But put a cork in the repetitious same-old same-old so the rest of us can have a conversation.

We get it. You don't like Democrats and you think Trump's going to win. You think it is inevitable, which is exactly how you felt in pretty much every election that comes along. Sometimes you are right (2016) and sometimes you are wrong (2012, 2018). But just being a broken record really isn't adding much of anything to the conversation.

Is any of this getting through? One can only hope...

(sigh)

...That's the "Schoolhouse Rock" version of what should have happened already, in other words.

What does this euphemism mean?

The moose poop has hit the fan and it's starting to spray. August is going to get really ugly if the Republicans don't get their act together on the federal unemployment benefits. And that might not even help. Moratoriums on evictions, both commercial and residential are ending...

153,578 Americans dead from Coronavirus and counting...

As I said, I don't disagree with the policy...

But it IS the policy..

According to CW, comments with foul language will be removed unless said foul language is actually part of a quote. Excluding movie/TV quotes..

But, I'm with you on the complete lack of the always juvenile name-calling that is directed toward fellow Weigantians when responding to each other in the comments sections - it has been a God-sent!

I know... It's something I have wanted since the name-calling contest that brought that and those who indulge in that to the shores of Weigantia...

Not to toot my own horn, but...

beep beep..

:D

I can say that, in my particular case, if some Black Lies Matter scumbag point a weapon at me, I would react the same way.. With 2 in the 10....

Can you please keep your talk of killing people off this forum?

Thank you.

Heh!

As far as the sentiments contained in your comment, you're making too much sense. Donald seems to be caught in another age that no longer exists. Yes, sir, I said it before, and I'll say it again: How long before we see the Trump cult light up a cross? With Trump tweeting out his clueless fear-and-smear racist spew, I imagine it won't be too much longer.

Comments are removed for foul language..

I think comments will be removed for inappropriate, asinine, idiotic and otherwise gratuitous use of foul language.

And, if you can discern that difference, then you may expect to see comments removed for use of foul language.

But, I'm with you on the complete lack of the always juvenile name-calling that is directed toward fellow Weigantians when responding to each other in the comments sections - it has been a God-sent!

The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.

And this article is eight years old. Does anybody think the Repugs have gotten better since 2012

Michale says that "the polls are all that Democrats have going for them." Setting aside my OPINION (as opposed to "the FACT") that Repugs would be delighted to be in Joe & the.Democrat's shoes right now, the Dems have a lot more going for them than the polls.

They've got Trump and the GOP's miserable track record going for them.

You seem to have quite a fondness for that revisionist history you were complaining about. :)

The 1619 Authors are attempting to re-write history to fit their racist views...

There's already quite a load of revisionist history floating around America and indeed the planet. Look no further than the comments sections of blogs across the Internet, and there you'll find it. Perhaps you're even one who dabbles in revisionist history yourself by inventing political parties that don't exist because it suits your narrative. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Oh, wait!

The tearing down of monuments to American culture is the supportive effort of that historical re-write...

Nah. America should have never allowed monuments to be built to the traitors to her country. The statues to the traitors of the United States of America belong in cemeteries and museums and have never belonged in the public square. We don't celebrate traitors in America... or at least we should never have started.

Why hasn't Dauchau been razed to the ground?? Why is Mauthausen today a solemn place of meditation and mourning and not a hole in the ground?? Why is Auschwitz a place of remembrance and not a mini-mall or condominium complex?? Why is Flossenbürg still standing as a reminder of the depravity of human existence instead of being destroyed with great prejudice??

Because those places are hallowed ground where thousands of human lives were lost and are buried to this day. They are cemeteries and museums to history now where people are mourned for their suffering at the hands of dictators and traitors. They aren't statues.

Because these reminders are NEEDED so that they can never happen again...

There will never again be another Benedict Arnold. Let's build a statute to him so we'll never forget what he did. In fact, let's build one to him in every city in America because there'll never be another Benedict, although definitely some other jerks who remind us of him, for sure.

While we're at it, we better put Hitler and Mussolini next to Arnold because we dang sure don't want to forget those morons. Have I left anybody out? We could people the world with statutes of all the jerks we might forget if we don't build statues and put them on pedestals. Do we wait until they're deceased traitors or should we get a head start building monuments to Traitorous Trump?

The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is trying to sanitize American history. To be more accurate, the Party is trying to sanitize the history of the Party itself..

Your invention of this fictional Party isn't going to go a long way to convince very many rational people that facts regarding history are all that important to you.

It's the irony to end all ironies that the vast majority of monuments that the Party wants destroyed are monuments TO and CREATED BY Democrats...

That's ridiculous and is an exercise in that revisionist history you claimed that you took issue with. You cannot simply judge a person's political party by the part of the country he lived in during the past. There were Northerners who were pro-slavery just as there were Southerners who were anti-slavery. Abraham Lincoln was primaried by his own Republican Party so joined forces with those Democrats who opposed slavery and formed the National Union Party with Lincoln as their presidential nominee and Democrat Johnson as their vice presidential nominee.

So, it's understandable that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party would want to destroy the vestiges that is part and parcel to the Party itself..

Utter revisionist history bollocks.

I'de wager that, gods forbid, if a Nazi-esque Party were to achieve power in Germany, the VERY first order of business they would go about would be to erase all vestiges and reminders of their sick and twisted and violent roots..

I am telling you they wouldn't have to. There are no monuments to Hitler in Germany, but you will find him in museums. Where they put stuff like that, you know, so they won't forget. So what are you proposing they'd have to tear down? The people of Germany were not all Nazis and still aren't.

So it is with the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

They are trying to erase all vestiges of their sick and twisted and violent roots..

But wouldn't that require doing away with all the burning crosses of today and white supremacy symbols you see so many Trump supporters wearing versus just removing the statues of the traitors to America and moving them to museums? If their roots are so sick and twisted, why on Earth would so many Trump supporters want to keep flying all those flags that represent those "twisted and violent" roots? I have not seen a Trump rally that does not have several of those "twisted" flags flying and celebrating those "violent roots." I mean, why isn't that party trying to "sanitize" (to borrow your term) from all those things if they are so "twisted"? Do tell. :)

Comments are removed for foul language..

It's a NO FOUL LANGUAGE policy...

I am not saying I disagree with it...

But it's no use denying what it is...

But I LOVE the NO NAME-CALLING POLICY.. :D It's everything I hoped it would be when I created the moratorium challenge.. :D

You don't have to leave, 'Nuck..

I really can't believe that, unless yer name is Michale, that the Grand Poobah would ban someone for 2 violations of the new NO FOUL LANGUAGE Policy...

But, then again, I would never have thought that there would ever BE a NO FOUL LANGUAGE policy..

So, whatdoiknow...

Yea.. Everyone here said the same thing 4 years ago..

But... darn.. HOW did that end back then?? :D

Have no fear, Trump will lose, and you will be welcomed back into the siblings of nations.

Farewell.
