That was a lot I was just saying I don’t think the current selection of billionaires is going to help you and me. We actually are on the same side on this. The dens on the other side I can actually see a path for them to help people on our level. You can feel free to disagree. Don’t get me wrong im on board and willing to give it a chance I’m not rooting against the economy just to own the right. It’s already a huge grift to start so idk. I wish Biden would have grifted 45 billion and it just be all good but that’s another convo. 

I agree with a lot of this. The Dems have been shown what people are needing right now. It is up to them if they want to stay course or tack to port to keep the ship from beaching.

Trump will probably fuck something up. And when he does, his voters should call him out for it; make a ruckus. That's the only thing that  politicians notice. Noise, and lots of it.

I wish I had time to pay attention to today.

I did see a pic of Melania's outfit. Bleh! Nice hat, though.

Looks like Trump pardoned most everyone for Jan 6 and commuted sentences for others.

Considering this board didn't think it was a big deal, probably support it.

Well I sure as hell don't support jailing people without charges or trial.  Which is what happened with some, not all. 

Wrong is wrong.

Holy shit, maybe because he's like 18 but Baron is twice the douche Don Jr. and Eric are, combined.

I hope he was mocking Trump impersonators with those antics.  He was channeling all the most punchable people ever.  All at once.

Jail huh? 

Little much. 

Perhaps.  There are currently hundreds in federal prison for defrauding the American people.  All with far less power and authority that these folks possesed.

This childish attempt to somehow affect me is fuckin lame. I really wish you could do better or maybe try harder.

And the fact that you had to reply to me saying that the olds in the Dem party are dying and that AOC is the future of the Dem party with something about Elon Musk is wild. 

It is my fervent wish that Dems keep retaliating against facts in such a manner. Because so far, everything that the Dems accuse Republicans (really MAGA) of doing, or going to do, are things they are already doing. That is already a historical footnote. It can't be changed now. Too late.

For the record, I think Elon musk has done some extraordinary things in his life. He is funny sometimes, too. But I don't think he has any real political prowess or political future.

And by the way, geeblock, can you point me to where you posted about billionaire or oligarchy meddling in the Dem party politics? I don't recall you ever doing so, but it might just be me being forgetful. 

Hate to break it to you fellas, but AOC and the Squad are the future of the Dem party. The olds are all close to dying. That's what Dems will have to work with.

No, your whole trans racial thing is stupid lol. 

It's not real life. 

People are not solely one thing,they are a whole mix of things. I'm sure you are not just one race or identity. You , like me, are a mix of different cultures and races. 

I completely disagree with your entire rational and as I said, it's a stupid line of thinking. 

👍🤣

Nice, thank you!

That sounds really stupid sorry lol. 

Because it IS stupid lol

Edit: 

Actually, it's not. It's a pretty smart move for a politician to know their audience. Kamala ran as an Indian woman in California and won. She ran as a black woman to further her career. Doing the trans racial thing, when you look at it at face value, got her all the way to Vice President. Like her or not (I don't) she pulled off a nice game.

Don’t really have anything else to complain about, but I couldn’t care less if Tik Tok goes away forever. Not sure why it’s so hard for a non-Chinese gov’t entity to design the same thing. Is it that bc they allow so much information to be taken that their algorithm is that much better? 

I'm against banning tiktok and I don't even use it. I just don't like the idea of our govt picking and choosing which apps sell our data. I also don't love the idea of our govt limiting what we can read, see or basically just communicate with. People have really memory-holed the Twitter Files, haven't they?

I’m simply saying there surely is something in your life to discuss that is not the boogey man of trans women in sports that will never affect your life and was really just brought up for election purposes. Surely it has been beat to death on here. I never said those things were NEVER discussed. He asked for possible things to talk about that do affect his life. Those are the ones that came up in my head. It’s not that deep 

I get that a lot of these topics don't interest you and you don't want to participate. Ok, cool. But what topic have you introduced that you think would be a breath of the wild?

It doesn't matter who starts a new thread. Go start a new topic please. We don't mind.

Not really a "complaint" like the thread implies but it looks like, with the upcoming weather, the swearing in on Monday will be moved indoors to a hockey rink. A month ago, someone predicted that Trump would get shot on live TV in a hockey rink. This week, a 7 year old predicted the same. I guess they're both some kind of psychics or prognosticators.

I'm not really all that superstitious, but some things do make me wonder - like ghosts. 

That being said, I hope those predictions are wrong. We really don't need the upheaval something like that would spark off. Like, seriously.

Coaches should be able to challenge penalties. One a game or one a half.

Immigration is infinitely more important than men in women’s sports. ( not that it actually affects you personally) Yes. lol you have your big three you rail about but say zip about school shootings, church pedo rings, health care, housing, price of eggs, price of gas, social security , jobs, manufacturing, etc you gaslight the issues you want and they usually have to do with an immigrant a black person or a gay. 

Edit idgaf what you bitch about but pick something different so at least we can have new conversations not the same 3-4 things lol but maybe pick something that affects YOU

We have talked about all of those things. 

Manufacturing: Republicans generally want NAFTA revoked and to build back up our own manufacturing base. Democrats think doing that will create EF5 tornadoes in Manhattan and they want cheaper tvs. 

School shootings. Republicans want armed teachers/security and checkpoints going into schools. Democrats want a registry of gun owners and to strip the rights of owning all guns excepting muskets and revolvers. Personally, I think we have a huge mental health catastrophe in this country, just as we do with the amount of absolute fatasses.

Gas prices: Republicans want to be energy reliant and more nuclear energy. Democrats have been wanting to end that industry too, and want the US to use windmills to create energy. The Dems also think that importing energy from other countries is green.

Social Security: Republicans want to phase it out and have people invest on their own. Democrats generally want the govt to control it forever, although some are starting to acknowledge that sunsetting it might be the better alternative.

Housing: Republicans want to cut all the red tape that pays bureaucracies but delays construction. Democrats realize that paying bureaucracies keeps the job market above water and they want to be extremely careful about deforestation. 

Immigration: Republicans don't want mass amnesty all that much and don't believe that flooding the borders is a good idea. Democrats want mass amnesty and as we've seen these past years, will absolutely flood our borders.

Trans rights. Republicans don't want males competing against females. Democrats want males competing against females. The current conversation regarding the ERA nonwithstanding, it is another talking point used by Dems. They like to talk about it and campaign on it, but they will never do anything about it. Much like the abortion issue.

Black person or gay: I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Is there a list of people that you do or don't want to talk about in general or what?

*Everybody on this site has the ability to start a new topic at any time, including you.

Is it possible that there are bigger issues we could discuss that actually affect our lives? Are we actually paying attention to what is going on? Or just own the dems and it doesn’t matter 

Anyone who has daughters or sisters who play sports it’s rather important to their lives  

Hope that helps
