Quote: TigerWuI have several 2020 related wagers going on right now with several members of the forum. As we get closer to the election I'll probably have a few more.
I also have a sizable presidential bet with a member of the forum. Also, there's a thread, currently inactive, that carries a lot of those. No reason it can't be updated.
Its Barbra should spend less time on the political threads Day. And more time studying for Jeopardy.Quote: beachbumbabsIt's get tired of AZD spewing his vile nonsense and call him to account day.

not going to debate with a guy who proudly displays a confederate flag
no more than I would debate with a guy who proudly displays a swastika
hopefully beat them at the ballot box this time
if not, there are other ways to do it

Not a confederate flag. Confederate flag does not have a coiled snake. Not sure what the issue is in any case. Southern Rock. Country music. NASCAR. The south in general. Dukes of Hazard. All things I like that use it.

A confederate flag with a coiled snake is a Confederate flag with a coiled snake added.
Just like a man with breasts added is not a woman but a man with breasts added (your own theories btw)
Coiled snake = Hydra symbol, organization of evil from Agents of Shield?

Quote: AZDuffmanMaybe you should learn. White males are the only group that can be attacked and made fun of relentlessly and nobody cares. Look at the primary of your own party? All but say "straight white males need not apply."
Heck, we have a moderator in this group making fun of Trump based on his skin tone. I wonder how she would react if someone did the same to Kamala?
This provocation about "skin tone" equivalency is so illustrative of your bias.
Trump HAS HIMSELF SPRAYED ORANGE! He wears eye cups, then has heavy concealer makeup around his beady piggish eyes so they don't appear sunken into his head! He had his scalp pulled up, cut off, and sewed onto the top of his head to hide his baldness! These are CHOICES of a vain and ugly man trying to hide his age in front of cameras.
And you somehow think calling that out equates to some kind of racism? That the hatred and racist comments spewing from this disgusting excuse for an American are somehow acceptable, mitigated because he's orange?
It's as ridiculous as you claiming you're not flying the Confederate flag. I wish I could say you're just kidding yourself, but it's much deeper and more malignant than that.
You have the president you deserve. Too bad the rest of us are having to suffer his presence and call out his inhumanity, his greed, and his bigotry.

Dem talking points, nothing more other than false outrage to further a political agenda that you realize is losing.
You see it and are probably deeply upset at how your party (yes, you are a liberal) is blowing it against someone you see as bad for America. And I know you are smart enough to see the directions the Dems are taking is a losing one appealing to a minority of Americans.
Probably best if we just sit back, enjoy the show and watch the Dem party do almost everything they can to Re-elect Trump.

I am not saying it does, I am asking that if a moderator of this group uses that kind of terminology to describe a person (Trump) then can the rest of us do so to describe someone we do not like (e.g.: Kamala.)
I have not heard Trump say anything that any rational person would consider racist. OTOH, Kamala (I will wait to use terms like you used for Trump until I am informed that this is accepted behavior. Even though a moderator using it would indicate it is so,) has made the racist position that somehow we *owe* Blacks for being slaves, even thought she can find no living slave. Just an example. But that is acceptable because she is ............nah, I'll wait.
If you notice, Trump does not start these things. He merely fights back. I know you prefer he be like Bush (either one) was and just ignore it while they lose their credibility. He is not playing that game.
So let me know, in public, if it is OK for those of us not on the left to refer to Kamala and others the way you just talked about Trump. About her skin color hue and all.

I am glad I have Trump as POTUS. The USA is lucky to have him. What part of peace and prosperity do you not like? Or is putting USA interests first just too radical?

President Trump is my President. President Trump is your President.
President Obama was my President. President Obama was your President.
That's how our system works even though we may completely disagree with their policies as I did 99% with Obama. He was still my President.
To quote that sly communist....".elections have consequences".
Fortunately the consequences this time are a roaring economy and for once in a long time someone in the White House that has a backbone and does what he said he would do when campaigning.

What has Trump done that he said he would do?
Build the wall and make Mexico pay for it? Fail and fail.
Lower middle class taxes? Fail.
Stop growing deficits and budget shortfalls? Fail and fail.
Improve foreign relations? Fail.
Drain the swamp? Fail.
That he would hire "the best people"? Fail
That he would repeal and replace Obamacare? Fail.
You are aware Mnuchin announced last week that the government will run out of money in September, right?
That Trump promised to reduce the deficit to zero in 8 years, but instead has increased it by $9.1 Trillion over that time, by his own WH estimates?
That out of the top 30 people he appointed, only 10 are still in their positions because of scandal, incompetence, or inability to work with his lunacy, and 5 of those remainjng are "acting" because even his lackeys in Congress can't get them approved?
On and on and on, notwithstanding the lies and the deflection from what's really going on.
How do people continue to support this Administration? I've limited this to stuff that Republicans USED to care about, left out the many social issue offenses and him being the worst role model ever to occupy the WH. His record on governance is awful. His promises were empty and unachievable. He should be fired by the very people who elected him, because he lied to them most of all.
Quote: AZDuffmanCoiled Snake = Don't Tread on Me = dislike of oppression.
Confederate flag = symbol of a slave nation = complete opposite of "dislike of oppression"
Furthermore, the South was, according to what modern day Republicans and conservatives tell me, a bastion of racist Democrats.
Why do you proudly display a flag symbolizing racist Democrats, if make no claim to being either a racist or a Democrat?
And since you're a non-racist Republican, you surely don't oppose the removal of Confederate-themed statues in public areas.... after all, they're nothing but a monument to racist Democrats.
Doubt you believe it, but Thank You for the laugh!

The economy was roaring for YEARS before Trump became President. Both the S&P and Dow did better under Obama than Trump.
Trump has a backbone? He's the most cowardly, spineless, snowflake that's ever been President in my lifetime. He rolls over to dictators. He cries and throws tantrums at even a HINT of criticism. He's one of the weakest politicians I've ever seen in my life.

They've been brainwashed by Fox News.
Reason #352 why Trump is winning, Dens are losing and the Far Left can’t help itself from supporting losing issues.
I would love anyone to defend we have too many people on Sex Offender Registries. Do the crime, accept the punishment.
Of course someone will say Trump should be on it and turn it into him because there is no defense for this story.

Actually, they are monuments to US war heroes. So no, I do not support their removal for the purpose of rewriting history.

Thanks your Democrat Party for holding it up.
Quote:Lower middle class taxes? Fail.
How? Mine went down. All went down, except that CA and other blue states now pay their fair share. Same people cried they "didn't need a tax cut" under Bush so they should be happy.
Quote:Stop growing deficits and budget shortfalls? Fail and fail.
Improve foreign relations? Fail.
You must have missed a lot of things. He even walked into N Korea.
Quote:Drain the swamp? Fail.
It's a deep swamp and he has done better than anyone before.
Quote:That he would hire "the best people"? Fail
That he would repeal and replace Obamacare? Fail.
Thank John McCain for that. Meanwhile, the mandate is gone and the rest will collapse in time. I must ask, though, if you hate Obamacare then why did you switch to the Democrat Party? It is one of their centerpieces.

And the feds will keep running out of money every few years. Been happening since the 1980s. BTW: You may want to use the right term "debt" not "deficit" as the deficit is nowhere near $9.1 trillion. As to turnover, big deal. Bad people have to go. As to "acting" again, this is an ongoing thing. If your party would get to sanity and not do things like check up on high school beer parties then maybe things would run smoother.

We support him because HE CARES ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE US! YOUR PARTY seems to care more about illegal aliens. And the trans community, they will do anything for them. But regular working people? They seem to openly hate us.
Trump has been in not 3 years and gotten more foreign policy progress than Obama did in 8. Oh, and he has not gotten us in silly wars like Obama did. He is not bragging about dumping refugees in our neighborhoods. He is fighting to secure the border. He got us out of a silly global warming treaty that would tax us to death. He got a new NAFTA with better terms.
What is it about those things that upsets you?

Right up there with: Victim, Oppresed, Unfair, you get the point.
“The previous year, when he was 24 years old, Winters had been arrested for downloading a three-minute porn clip. The file description said the girl in the video was 16; the prosecutor said she was 14. He was charged with attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and, because he had used file-sharing software to download the video, attempted distribution of child pornography”.
F this guy, he should be publicly shamed, castrated and gang raped in prison.
Yea, I’m clear on how I feel about this program.
You are with the long term liberal motto of “Far better for 1000 guilty men walk free than 1 innocent man be convicted.”
F that too.
Quote: AZDuffmanActually, they are monuments to US war heroes. So no, I do not support their removal for the purpose of rewriting history.
They are "monuments" to civil war CSA generals, aka traitors, which were erected decades later by resentful whites to remind former slaves and their descendents of their place and celebrate treason. That's not even in dispute: there are all kinds of contemporaneous records and letters and speeches that explain that.
I can see them being placed in a private museum like the Jeff Davis home in Biloxi, as suitable to the historical context. They don't belong in public squares. They never did, but it's taken a long time to recognize that.

So, is George Washington a "traitor" by this standard? Does the Declaration of Independence celebrate treason?
Do you propose that there be no monuments to a failed revolution worldwide?

Of course, you have to “whitewash” history, not learn from it. It upsets too many of the left.
A little research into Stonewall Jackson shows how much he gave to the AA community. Books have been written on it, but he’s just a “traitor” to some. Sad.

The economy WAS NOT roaring under Obama. Weakest recovery from a recession ever. I said Trump has the economy roaring. Not the stock market. Two mostly different things.
While somewhat related to the economy the booming stock market under Obama was more of a function of abnormally low interest rates put forth by the FED to fix the mortgage loan crisis (which was primarily caused by the Democrats making sure anyone who wanted a home could get one regardless of their ability to pay).
Obama did everything he could to stifle the economy. Regulations, taxes, unsustainable healthcare plans, millions more on food stamps and on and on. And the record shows it.
GDP rate of 1.5 percent is "roaring"??? GDP is the standard to measure the economy that economists use. They could, of course, use measures such as how Obama added 35 million food stamp recipients. Yet another outstanding example of "roaring economy."Quote: TigerWuThe economy was roaring for YEARS before Trump became President.

One of the funniest talking points Republicans have is that "Obama never achieved a GDP higher than 3%."
It's funny because....neither has Trump.

As far as Obama's recovery goes, the WORLD ECONOMY collapsed as he was being elected. The United States, under Obama, outperformed other countries in their recoveries and it's not even close. They went austerity. We didn't.
