Somehow Bill Barr is a bad guy now. Methinks they know the Obama thugs will be arrested soon.
I recall a 100% vote the first time he was confirmed before the spygate nonsense.
Jimmy —this is what I mean: “hahaha”, “Obama thugs” let’s end this shit now.
I see this:
“But I'm a fucking adult who understands that another 4 yrs of Trump, Barr, and this Senate of enablers would be the end of a functioning democratic republic.”
So I laugh and defend the honor of William Barr. And yes, Comey and Brennan are two thugs who created the Russian Hoax.
Sorry we disagree on this matter. I honestly don’t think you have put forth any effort to learn the truth on this stuff.
We are in Sensitive Topics fwiw. I haven’t insulted you. Disingenuous at best when Barr and Trump can be attacked relentlessly, but I can’t call Brennan and Comey thugs. That is exactly what they are.
No they are not “thugs” that’s bullshit and only jacks up the rhetoric. And it’s not that “we disagree on this matter”. It’s how we disagree. Laughing at someone (hahaha) has nothing to do with “facts”. Calling someone a “thug” has nothing to do with facts. And yes, that is insulting. Stop it.

Doesn't this imply that everyone who doesn't believe that "4 yrs of Trump,
Barr, and this Senate of enablers would be the end of a functioning
democratic republic." is not an adult? You're calling him childish and trivializing his beliefs. How is that any different than what you are accusing him of?
Yes, they are thugs. They lied to Congress, spied on Trump, and created a fake Russian hoax. Come on man. Study up on this.
Calling those two questionable characters thugs is less offensive than the moronic position than “But I'm a fucking adult who understands that another 4 yrs of Trump, Barr, and this Senate of enablers would be the end of a functioning democratic republic.”
Seems like we have been functioning very well before the China Virus hit. What rights do you not have (a month ago, we have lost rights because of the virus - not related to Trump’s presidency) that you had before he was elected.
Sorry. Some of us do not believe the narrative of the deep state, the MSM, or Hollywood.
And I remain a gentleman and civil in this forum. Unlike others.
My stuff gets laughed at all the time. It makes me laugh. You take this stuff too seriously.
Go read the FBI thread. But as Big Al said - nobody is interested in those topics I post. They might take interest when there is a trial or two.
Also millenials and maybe GenZ's, say lol and hahahaha a lot out of habit. It's a space filler, and doesn't necessarily mean they are laughing at you. Maybe he's laughing at you, IDK, but it's common vernacular.

From a political strategy standpoint, I just don't think this is the right strategy. The majority of America is done with the fear porn, the crying wolf, and the social justice warrior attitude. Their strategy of Trump is evil and we've got the moral high ground is not a compelling one with Bidens morality issues. A sizeable chunk of Sander's supporters hate Biden. They are staying home or voting 3rd party. They want legit change, not more establishment politicians.
I just don't think the democrats stand a chance with their establishment leadership. They really need to purge the old guard and regather around their younger fresh thinkers, but just hold the socialism and authoritarianism at bay. Find the common ground they have with a good chunk of conservatives and focus on policies and not morality. They need to spell out the path forward and not just second guess everything Trump does.
I agree Biden is going to have to lay out a path forward. It's what I yearn for and I'm a conservative Dem after switching party allegiances long ago.
In this instance, I think who his veep candidate will be is even more important this campaign.
We're in such tumultuous times and this presidential race is going to be a bruising one. One that will unfortunately splinter the country even more so than it is today.

this is not an attack on a member of the board and I am sure that we can find plenty of things said about trump that are worse than thug.
as far as him laughing at others posts.. thats no different than somebody using the "funny" emoji to respond to a post they disagree with.
I am sorry if you find these posts offensive but these are within the board rules.

I didn’t say that! Don’t conflate two different posts! Jesus it’s very difficult to ask for rationality when one gets responses like this, look, we disagree. Ok. But this just shows again how (some) mods on this board are quick to shut down anyone who says something you don’t like.
Oh and Medaille— I fail to see how Hahahaha. Is a space filler. Taken in context with the rest of a typical A1 rant of course it’s laughing AT someone. Ok—not such a horrible thing I grant, unless it is used every day in all of those rants. It get old. And irritating. And yes, I can block the ST forum if I want. But maybe we all should. Maybe we should cool it with th ST forum for a while. Like I’ve said before, this is a time for lessening stress. Maybe even increasing civility. If not shutting it down let’s at least chill a little. What’s wrong with that?

LMAO Where has medaille, me, or any other person you disagree with asked a mod for someone to shut down anyone?!?
I disagree with you, but never would ask a mod to shut you down.
Jimmy and I don’t see eye to eye on a lot. Ask him if medaille or I have asked for that. You do it publicly with me (hahaha! at a minimum, as far as I know).
