    There are rednecks and then there are rednecks.  Ed Abbey knew the difference.

    If you have the time, fix a drink or a smoke or whatever, sit back and give this a go.  Worth a listen if you have the time:

    No one finds your alt-right vocabulary impressive, it just makes you look like an ass. 
    is there really an alt right anymore? to me it is just the right, as they have accepted into their movement the former alt right.

    Yup, like Randy Paul’s vote to add $1.5 trillion to the deficit. Principles.
    It would be easier to take that comment seriously had you said one word the last eight years.  Maybe you can link me to that though.  Probably not.
    My party is not the one prattling on about the deficit and fiscal responsibility. My party is not enlarging the deficit to make a very small percentage of the populous even more filthy rich. My party didn’t vote against increasing the deficit to bail out the auto and banking industries to save hundreds of thousands of jobs and an economy. My party didn’t prattle on about how we can’t afford to provide a minimum level of health insurance for its citizens without. My party didn’t vote against deficit spending to stimulate the economy when unemployment, brought on by your party, reached 10% and was as high as 50-60%. Your party still believes in trickle down economics when the unemployment is at 4.1%. Let me know when unemployment is at 2%, would you? Your hypocrisy is astounding but not surprising, seeing how you have such pure ideology. What a joke.
    Unsung... owned again

    Do we need to talk about the deficit under Reagan & W???? or maybe discuss the surplus achieved under Clinton only to be blown up by the W administration?

    But you're only worried about the deficit while a black guy was president, obviously

    Pre Obama the debt was at $9T.  That is Presidents 1-43 (iirc) combined.

    When Obama left office it was $20T.



    You really don't want to debate this though with me unless you are ready to accept that spending cuts need to happen.  Otherwise it is a non-starter.

    Obama's debt contribution was $983 billion.

    Case DISMISSED!  ALL charges dropped!

    Prosecution withheld evidence favorable to the defense, admitted the Bundy's were never a threat.  Judge Navarro said that prosecution performed "flagrant prosecutorial misconduct."

    But what did Obama do to get it to 20T?  Come on man...

    Fault Obama for not raising taxes to help offset it maybe.  The spending came from your GOP

    also, our party is not propping up a fucking sociopath for the sake of "wins".

    our party is not talking down entire classes of people and spiking the football when we pass a vote that 25% of americans favor.

    fuck the gop. all of them.

    I bumped the thread after I was chastised by the OP of the Riots/madness thread for posting the looting of federal land and tax payers that continues to this day by a white family, 6 years running at least.

    Believe it or not, race plays a huge roll in where we are today, particularly when the riot in Ferguson in 2014 because of Michael Brown’s death, the riot in Baltimore in 2015 because of Freddie Gray’s death and all the police killings of Blacks, in between and since, right up to George Floyd’s death. And nothings changed except the number and duration of the protests/riots. So yea, race still matters, every fucking day.

    A hissy fit? You mean like complaining? C’mon maaaaaaaan, as Sleepy Woke Joe would say.

    The Bundy crew should be in jail, but evidently the federal prosecutors screwed things up:

    My family has paid to graze cattle on federal land for years, so yes, it does piss me off that they feel they can do it for free.

    Hell, I thought that was becoming the American way?  There are plenty of freeloaders not paying taxes or fees these days.

    Idaho high school football game called at halftime after activist refuses to wear mask


    https://news.yahoo.com/idaho-high-school-football-game-184821564.html


    high school football game in Idaho was stopped at halftime when anti-government activist Ammon Bundy refused to wear a mask or leave campus, officials said Monday.

    Bundy wanted to watch his son, a linebacker for the visiting Emmett High School Huskies, in their game against the host Caldwell Cougars on Friday.

    The dad was turned away at the gate for refusing to adhere to Caldwell’s coronavirus masking policy, Bundy and school officials both said.

    Bundy, best known for a 2016 standoff with his father, Cliven Bundy, at an Oregon wildlife refuge, then tried to watch the game from a parking lot - on campus grounds, but outside the stadium - and was asked to leave again by hosts. When he didn’t, Caldwell administrators called the game at halftime, with Emmett ahead, 35-0.

    Emmett High School does not have a policy asking fans to wear masks, so Bundy was free to go mask-less at Huskies' home games. But if Emmett plays at a school with such safety protocols in the future, Bundy told NBC News on Monday, he’ll act just as he did on Friday.

    “I have a strong belief in my right to choose to wear a mask or not," Bundy said. "And If they think somehow there's a safety issue, then they need to section off a part of the bleachers to accommodate for those of us who believe differently than others.”

    The CDC has recommended that all Americans wear masks in public during the pandemic, though it's a local district-by-district decision for high school activities in Idaho.

    it wasn't immediately clear over the weekend which team would be declared the winner because the game wasn't completed.

    But by Tuesday, the two schools decided that Emmett should have the win, said Ty Jones, executive director of the Idaho High School Activities Association which governs prep sports in the Gem State.

    Both sides apparently agreed that Emmett's five-touchdown lead shouldn't be wiped out by the brouhaha over Bundy.

    "That would be my thought (that a 35-point lead should stand) but I wasn’t given a reason, just a final score," Jones said.

    Emmett Independent School District Superintendent Craig Woods had appeared to brace his side for a possible forfeit.

    "This is incredibly sad for the Emmett High School football team, high school and community. They were winning the game," Woods said in a statement over the weekend.

    "They've been having a great season, and they've worked hard. We were the visitors. We should respect the host’s policies and procedures. Whether you agree or not when it comes to masks, the football team should not have to suffer the consequences. I'm proud of the Huskies. They did not ask for this."
