Heh. But according to Trump:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
I will bring down taxes and I’ll make sure that New York City is a safe place. I mean, this is one of our cherished — this is a cherished diamond of this country. And we can’t let this happen to New York.

~ Donald Trump &lt;/blockquote&gt;
*
Who&#039;s going to explain to the Moron in Chief that he&#039;s been the president for almost four years? The president that actually already raised federal taxes for so many New Yorkers and the president that could have already done something/anything to &quot;make sure that New York City is a safe place&quot;? 

I mean, a substantial number of the Trump crime syndicate moving out of New York and/or being imprisoned doesn&#039;t count as making New York City safer... it just doesn&#039;t. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;All you do is trolling and repeating what I already addressed from JFC. &lt;/i&gt;

I answer posts in the order I read them. If JFC&#039;s posts and mine sound similar before I even read to his comment, then what you have there is a consensus regarding your tedium ad nauseam regurgitatum. 

&lt;i&gt;My bio is head, shoulders and FEET above the lying scumbags that exist in their cesspool of corruption.&lt;/i&gt;

You sure about that? Have you read that thing?

&lt;blockquote&gt;I have none of the credentials normally listed in a bio. No degrees, no years of running a successful business and no experience in political campaigns or activism. I am simply an average person that has been working and living at survival mode. But I have the only credentials that I believe really matters. I am a citizen and I have an idea that may improve our political system. 

~ Don Harris &lt;/blockquote&gt;

According to Don Harris, there&#039;s a whole lot of &quot;no this&quot; and &quot;no that&quot;... just a whole lot of nothing. Wasn&#039;t there a school pure enough for you? Wasn&#039;t there a business you could have been successful at? 

Perhaps you&#039;re just an all-around failure? Not even a good mooch. :)</description>

And, why wouldn&#039;t it be measured from the ocean floor?</description>

&lt;i&gt;&quot;I&#039;d like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony.....&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;d like to teach Don Harris to shut it. 

&lt;i&gt;Well, CW, I can admit when I am wrong.&lt;/i&gt;

You are wrong to keep biting the hand allowing you to feed from it. Admit that.

&lt;i&gt;I didn&#039;t think you could get any lower than your usual nonsense- but you did it! &lt;/i&gt;

You needn&#039;t keep reiterating to this group how you &quot;didn&#039;t think.&quot; 

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s time you started talking about the real ic that should be dropped from Democratic- the one spelled ICK. The ICK that includes Biden, K.Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. &lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s time you stopped whining for some free PR unless you&#039;re determined to be the board &quot;PR&quot; &quot;ICK.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;You would clearly be the MDDOTW if it weren&#039;t for the obvious choice- Joe Biden for picking such a low life scumbag as his running mate. &lt;/i&gt;

So her life is low!?
Have you read your bio?</description>

		<description>nypoet22,  your [19]:

How interesting about Zealandia - I hadn&#039;t heard that. But on reading the story, I see that the archaic &#039;continent&#039; of Zealandia has long since disappeared beneath the Pacific waves, leaving just a largish set of discrete islands.

So, back to six if we agree that the Europe/Asia divergence is far more artificial than than the narrow land bridges between Eurasia and Africa, and North and South America.

Speaking of the Americas, in the context of this discussion of who to call &quot;Asian&quot; and on what basis or with which geographical qualifiers (South Asia, East Asia, etc.). Have the media figured out yet that people from the rest of the Western Hemisphere are also &quot;Americans&quot;, just not United Statesians? Why are Mexicans not called &quot;North Americans&quot; the way the Quebecois are, when both peoples live on the same continent, and speak Latin languages rather than English?

I am not automatically against what is called, derisively by the Right, identity politics - targeting political audiences via presumptions about their self-proclaimed identities as members of minority or oppressed or excluded groups and classes. But it can get pretty weird, not to say silly at times, given the realities of peoples&#039; backgrounds and individual histories - as we see in this debate about how to put Sen. Harris in her proper identity box.</description>

At last we come to the object of the exercise. Don&#039;t forget Sarah, America. Sarah needs some attention.

&lt;i&gt;6) have fun! &lt;/i&gt;

Shove it, Sarah.   

&lt;i&gt;This IS the greatest country in the world and hopefully you&#039;ll be blessed beyond belief, like I was, with meeting new people from all walks of life and see just how great it is! &lt;/i&gt;

She&#039;s a United States Senator, Sarah, serving ~40 million constituents; she ran for President of the United States and knows about campaigning and America and doesn&#039;t need your help.  

Now please crawl back into the hole you slithered out of.</description>

Oh, Sarah Plain and dumb. Kamala isn&#039;t from Podunk, population ~10,000; she&#039;s from California, population ~40 million, and she&#039;s campaigned a time or two or three or four, and the fact that you think you have anything to teach her is hysterical and so silly, Sarah. Kamala even ran for President of the United States... remember!?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;3) don&#039;t get muzzled -- connect with media and voters in your own unique way. &lt;/i&gt;

Did I say &quot;hog&quot; when I meant &quot;dog&quot;? Well, you see, it&#039;s a shapeshifter with a limited repertoire you can count on one hand, and you can count on it being shifty.

&lt;i&gt;Some yahoos running campaigns will suffocate you with their own self-centered agenda so remember YOU were chosen for who YOU are. &lt;/i&gt;

Remember!? Campaign etiquette: Never ask someone to do something you won&#039;t or can&#039;t do yourself... remember!?   

&lt;i&gt;So stay connected with America as you smile and ignore deceptive &quot;handlers&quot; trying to change you; &lt;/i&gt;

Said the shapeshifter! Ha. Ha.</description>

		<description>Most &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt; human beings would consider it an insult when a troll tells them that &quot;I didn&#039;t think &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; could get any &lt;i&gt;lower&lt;/i&gt;&quot;, but since you&#039;re an obsessive-compulsive troll, I suppose that &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt; doesn&#039;t apply. Are you familiar with human beings?

In addition, you seem unable to understand the meaning of the word &lt;i&gt;repetitive&lt;/i&gt; because your spam is just that and not much else other than boring and maybe a little desperate.

BTW - I don&#039;t eat pie. Your excessive wrongness is repetitive too.</description>

Aw shoot, Sarah... I might be wrong about that &quot;pig&quot; thing because you definitely did describe from whence you came as the &quot;chute.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;2) fight mightily to keep your own team with you -- they know you, know your voice, and most importantly are trustworthy; &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, silly Sarah &quot;Plain&quot; and dumb. The only thing you ever managed to have any real insight into was cosmetics. You were right about that &quot;lipstick,&quot; but you never quite caught on that you were the hog.  

This is an insult toward Nicole Wallace. After all these years some people never learn... nor could they ever because pig ignorant. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;How low can you go?&lt;/i&gt;

* $201
* Insulting a blogger on his own blog for not advertising your half-baked ideas
* Promoting a grift with broken links

&lt;i&gt;I can admit when I am wrong&lt;/i&gt;

But really, who cares if one troll that spams incessantly actually stops spamming for one brief moment and pretends to say something nice?</description>

&lt;i&gt;Interesting points, all. My biggest bugaboo in geographical terms is continually pointing out that Europe isn&#039;t a continent. It just isn&#039;t. There are six continents, and Eurasia is the biggest. Hmmph!&lt;/i&gt;

if that&#039;s the case, then there&#039;s still seven. last year it was decided that Zealandia (of which New Zealand is a small part) qualifies as its own continent.

		<description>It certainly looks genuine and written in one pass.  It can be interpreted as advice or a gripe.  Compared to Trump&#039;s daily spittle almost anything can look like the high road.</description>

		<description>The novel birther virus, HRRS-20, has re-emerged.  There was a short-lived outbreak in 2019, but then it went away the way things go away.  Unfortunately, that dormancy seems to have ended as several “people” have tested positive in the last couple of days.  A major spike in cases is forecasted as the most vulnerable among us (the simple minded, death cult zombies, evangelicals) are exposed. The primary transmission vectors for the birther virus are racist media, preachers, and reality TV orangutans. 

Critical thinking works well against the virus, but supplies are very limited. Public health experts sound pessimistic as the predicted epidemic inevitably merges with semi-annual October racist flu season. The outlook is grim and cancellation is the only other effective treatment currently available.</description>

		<description>What a nice post. 

I agree with others that Palin is a bit of a snake and not to be trusted, but I agree with you that, on the face of it, her post to Harris can only be read as friendly advice, and the face of it is how this piece will be read by most non-politics-junkie Americans.

Thanks, Chris.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;and all things Democratic (although she would have dropped the &quot;-ic&quot; from that last word). That would have been fully in character for Palin, in other words.

Instead, she chose not to do so (well, except for dropping the &quot;-ic&quot;).&lt;/i&gt;






First off, good job, CW! Sarah deserves a shout out for her sincere message to Kamala, and you didn&#039;t shy away from giving credit where credit it&#039;s due. 




Ever since Newt Gingrich infected the Repug Party with his &quot;scorched earth&quot; brand of &quot;zero-sum&quot; politicing it&#039;s increasingly hard to find one side say, Our Side (Truth, Justice and The American Way) finding anything to like on, say, Their Side (Satan and All His Works and dropping the &quot;ic&quot; in Democratic.)
