I got this advice from a vet many years ago, and I assumed he knew what he was talking about. i stand corrected.

Couldn’t agree with you more. My mom and dad should never have gotten married, much less had children. But if they hadn’t gotten together, I would never have been born. So…..

I have very mixed feelings about my dad. He certainly wasn’t a louse, far from that. But then again, he failed to protect me and my siblings from our narcissistic mother, who did quite a number on most of us and caused a lot of psychological damage. Hence the mixed feelings.

I once got this advice from a vet. When a pitbull bites and gets a hold of you (like your arm or something) apparently his jaws lock and it’s impossible to get your arm out again. The only way to deal with this is to lift the dog up and violently slam its body into a wall or a tree or whatever until the dog loses consciousness (or is dead), and the jaws unlock. I kid you not.

I guess we’ll never know….

It’s a total mystery to me how the evangelicals, all those born again hypocrites, can embrace Trump, possibly the least Christian man in the world, as their messiah and savior. What Trump needs is an exorcism, not the support of the evangelicals.

Such a misnomer, as it has very little to do with nationalism, and nothing at all with being a good Christian. It’s just an obvious cover for white supremacist fascism, plain and simple, aimed at DT becoming the imperial wizard of the country.

She’s not wrong. Trump makes everything about himself and his obsession with the ‘radical left’ (which does not exist in the USA) who are out to get him. Can’t even do a simple condolence without his usual rhetoric. Pathetic excuse for a man. And that is what tens of millions of Americans have pinned their hopes on. Unbelievable.

I would bet good money that Dolf is the avatar formerly known as Yellowtail. Haven”t seen anything from him in a while, yet the similarities in the kind of language used, the deflections, dismissiveness, smugness and all around obnoxiousness are striking.

Literally everything that doesn’t fit their narrative is ‘fake news’, or ‘biased’, or ‘lefty liberal nonsense’. Admitting that you’re wrong is for wimps and bleeding heart liberals, so they have to stick to their guns, no matter how overwhelming the evidence is that they are wrong, and they twist their brain in a pretzel to convince themselves that it’s perfectly okay to just ‘not believe in it’. Just like their dear leader doesn’t believe in climate change (just a big hoax from China), didn’t believe covid was dangerous (kept calling it the China virus), doesn’t believe that he lost the 2020 election and is convinced that he has never done a thing wrong in his life and the whole world is just out to get him. So unfair! You have to be able to do some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to pull that off.

Well, some of us value our history, and think we can learn from it. Others totally ignore it and make up their own as they go along. Like claiming that Trump was the greatest president ever. Or that Jan. 6 was just like any other day where tourists got a guided tour of the Capitol.

No, not him. Can’t remember his name, but the one I’m thinking of had an avatar of a hissing cat or something.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The über aggressive/dismissive tone and wording definitely remind me of a certain member that I haven’t seen any posts from for a while. Coincidence?

Let me ask you something: if Trump had come in first place, would you still be asking the same questions? A simple yes or no answer will suffice.

They are not random people, they are historians, from across the political spectrum, Democrats as well as Republicans. Even among just the Republican respondents, Trump was scored last. Does that tell you enough about how bad a president Trump was?

I very much doubt you have any idea what you’re talking about. These people are HISTORIANS. It’s their job to know history, and, using your words, “to have enough knowledge of history to determine which one was best based on the historical record. Duh!

There was a lot of gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair on Faux News last night, I can tell you that much.

So all academics are lefty liberals to you? What does science have to do with being a lefty liberal? You’re just parroting a popular right wing talking point. Science and facts are scary, right?

“Ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand” comes to mind. Just because you don’t ‘believe’ in something doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Exactly. It must have cost them whole seconds to come to their decision.

The problem with MAGA cult members is that they will reject anything that doesn’t fit their narrative, even when it comes from a highly respected institution such as the American Political Science Association, with members across the political spectrum, Republicans and Democrats alike. On the other hand, when MAGA cult members hear that their neighbor’s daughter’s butcher’s errand boy has read on the internet that Biden holds secret meetings with Beelzebub, the ghost of Hugo Chavez and George Soros, they will immediately believe that to be true. Go figure.

Know what for sure? If none of this would have happened if Trump were still president? If Trump could have solved everything by just making a few phone calls? Dream on…

Whoa, someone seems to have a huge man crush…

“Thaksin’s parole is justified and legal” – Corrections Department They forgot to mention that it was no doubt very lucrative for those who made this happen for Thaksin. He must have parted with some serious wads of cash.

The only thing missing from this ‘op-ed’ (i.e. hit piece) is the assertion that all of this would never have happened if Trump were still president. He could have solved all those issues with just a few phone calls. If only he hadn’t been playing golf during most of his presidency…..
