People on the Left look in the Mirror .

I question it because my family was in florida and outside of the federal call for 2 weeks to flatten the curve (yea he listened to the "science") he left it up to the gov.

I was in GA and listened to the governors Pressers every week and the decision was left at the local level and most had lockdown protocols based on the amount of in house patients with covid.

Also a broward county rep isnt exactly a top tier witness.

Heck Florida was attacked on a regular basis by the left for not shutting down so that guys claim makes no sense.

Tipping is rooted in white supremacist culture. Stop marginalizing under-privileged groups.

Do better comrade.

I guess this is something you might be familiar with?
Thanks for the enlightenment. Is this an excuse for stiffing your helpers?

Interestingly, Trump said in his acceptance speech tonight that he would like for tips to be tax-free.
I wonder if the progressives would support that.

“You all seem to ignore how trump emptied out our other bases and negotiated with the taliban to undermine the afghan governments legitimacy which drove their police, military and government officials to #ing surrender, because trump made it seem like we gave the taliban control, all to spite everyone who voted against him, and to use as a tool of propaganda, “

That is all heresay and opinion to me until Insee something you can produce which substantiates your assertion with at least some credible military analysis. I do butcher left-leaning media bias of CFR controlled dei military propaganda as evidence.
From my vantage point and memory of what happened, Trump got cooperation with Iraq to combat ISIS and flush them out. It was under the b-o admin that the emphasis of our military shifted to guarding poppy and pot fields in Afghanistan. If you can responsibly refute that, I may consider your opinion. Under J- b ( b o 2.0) look what happened with the disastrous pullout of Afghanistan. And billions of dollars worth of military equipment left there(what was it 84 billion or something like that), lives killed, Americans left behind.
I just don’t understand how people justify that and the political ideology behind it.

It’s a good post.
However, I’ve had just the opposite political evolution.
Almost with your exact timing.

I’ve experienced a medical system that shuffled my first wife around , almost bankrupted us and ultimately she died, still undiagnosed definitively. They once tossed her out of physical therapy, because they only covered so many days,

I was a Ron Paul fanboy, that is until I discovered most of his followers had completely different goals, all based on themselves. All self centered. And many racists too.

When I noticed that Trump was “borrowing” from the Tea Party and Ron Paul’s talking points. I switched parties.
Paul had experience, Trump was a Savant Grifter, with little or no knowledge of anything other than how to take advantage of people. No world knowledge, no empathy or sympathy. I call it Trumpathy now.
Trumpathy > Narcissism.

I suppose it’s human nature to mostly care about yourself and certain people in your circle?
He takes it a step further and stuffs them in the trash compactor when they are no longer of use to him.


I can confidently look in the mirror and know that I care about others, even people I don’t know.
That our county is not only millions of individuals, but also has the potential to move forward, past our prejudices, and past our inability to see past our noses. And act as one.


I’m not for book banning, for controlling the lives of women. Not for fascism.
Not for criminals as president.

I would vote for week old roadkill, over a Republican right now.

But, I understand your journey, I think we passed each other on the political freeway.

Truthfully what kinds of books have actually been banned and by whom. I seem to remember Huckleberry Finn while the Left promotes books about drugs and school kids running away. In fact the book about that particularly came up in one of our local schools and the librarian from nearby locality which is part of ICLEI came to defend this book in our high school. A personal friend of mine wrote an op Ed about it in a local paper.

Just a small example of my OP .

When the movement at its root produces human reaction like this . That movement is wrong .

The Deep State has " Deep " Pockets . President Trump found that Out in 2016 , and was " Over His Head " in Dealing with that Reality at the Time . In 2024........." Fool Me Once....."

Right on point mate.

Trump found him self surrounded by Back stabbers , the majority of his inner circle turned on him in the end just as they were supposed to .

They weren't there to help him but rather they were there to watch him.

but now he knows the Swamps and it's his second term there will not be a third so there is nothing holding him back.

I legitimately think they will take another shot at him .
