    How awesome was that??  We never miss watching the annual Army vs Navy game.  Such a special tradition we need to checkout someday.  
    So We were at the Alabama vs Georgia football game this past Sept visiting my husbands nephew who goes to Bama.  When they showed Trump on the Jumbotron in the second quarter waving at the crowd the place went absolutely bonkers!!! It was such a spectacle of true patriotism by 80,000 people…I personally haven’t witnessed something like that in a very longtime.  Right then and there I knew he was gonna be #47!!  Happy Days are indeed here again…
    And yet, you still can’t or won’t define what “happy days” are or will consist of. Weird.
    Here is a simple one for ya since this apparently is so important implying I am weird and all…
    The Greatest country in the world will no longer be led by a shit-4-brains Vegetable.  That alone makes 4 happy days for me and many Proud Americans who were embarrassed of the leader of the free world the past 4 years.   
    No, instead it’ll be run by a shit for brains orange fruit of a mango. You sill can’t articulate one policy and effect of said policy that’s going to lead to “happy days” for ya. Did your eyes well with tears whilst watching Army/Navy and the commander in thief? Be honest.
    I’ll be honest, I sure did get emotional watching this game a bunch of times today.  I mean look at this awesomeness!! Totally going to be there next year…
    I gotta say, it must suck to be one who hates America after seeing something so Patriotic and impressive.   I sure am getting used to all this WINNING or as some have call it….OWNING!!!
    Happy Happy JOY JOY, Happy Happy JOY JOY

    this is hilarious. you are a 50 year old adult

     Teske got banned yet the p word lady is still around? Unreal.


    At least we can scream for joy that an irrelevant college football game with about half the audience of a national NFL game will do something for this country. 
    Everyone here knows how to get the trolls gone, yet no one can resist responding to the things they say - which are DESIGNED to piss people off. It's insanity to engage with these folks. Set them on ignore, and don't try to fight ignorance and stupidity with logic and decency - trolls are void of both. 

    Excellent reminder, especially in a time when trolling is bogging down AMT.  I'm guessing that is part of the MO as well.
    The best reaction is NO reaction.
    Ignore ignore ignore
    That makes sense to me as well...

    Ignore ignore ignore

    or have the patience and fortitude to answer factually, logically and with grace. to do so isnt for their benefit but your own....

    I might not meet it, but thats my goal now. I've noticed they seem to ignore most questions posed seeking facts or clarification. speaks volumes imo...

    ...but at the same time, I respect your efforts.  Hard t beat logic and grace.
    I hate to say it, but trolls do beat logic and grace, with ignorance and childish attacks. If logic and grace mean nothing to the other person you're conversing with, then it's just a waste of your energy - and they've accomplished their goal. 

    And I have accomplished mine as you do so often. you generally exercise great patience with these folks. refrain from personal attacks. logically and carefully lay out facts or well researched opinion with grace

    frankly its amazing. and a fine model for others.even if lost on the poster you're responding to, its not lost on others. so you win, do you not?
    I’m really humbled by what you wrote, but sadly, I don’t have faith in the way I used to operate on here. People on here are intelligent enough to smell bullshit, so I don’t feel we have to draw attention to the fact that bullshit artists are producing bullshit. We have a tool to ignore the arsonists in the community who just want to burn down quality discourse.

    I’ve realized that’s all you can do. Just ride it out, hope for the best but plan for the worst. I just find it weird how Trump voters are so obsessed with him as a person, it’s just so strange. No point in trying to provide a different perspective, or have a civil discussion.

    It's really weird...and I think it is appropriate to use the TDS (trump derangement syndrome) that magats love to use so much against us to describe them...it's spot on.

    The fucker salutes (inappropriately) at a stupid football game and they all start crying. I just can't imagine how they would shit their depends if Biden did something similar. Or Harris, etc.

    Really bizarre cultlike behavior.

    How awesome was that??  We never miss watching the annual Army vs Navy game.  Such a special tradition we need to checkout someday.  
    So We were at the Alabama vs Georgia football game this past Sept visiting my husbands nephew who goes to Bama.  When they showed Trump on the Jumbotron in the second quarter waving at the crowd the place went absolutely bonkers!!! It was such a spectacle of true patriotism by 80,000 people…I personally haven’t witnessed something like that in a very longtime.  Right then and there I knew he was gonna be #47!!  Happy Days are indeed here again…
    And yet, you still can’t or won’t define what “happy days” are or will consist of. Weird.
    Here is a simple one for ya since this apparently is so important implying I am weird and all…
    The Greatest country in the world will no longer be led by a shit-4-brains Vegetable.  That alone makes 4 happy days for me and many Proud Americans who were embarrassed of the leader of the free world the past 4 years.   
    No, instead it’ll be run by a shit for brains orange fruit of a mango. You sill can’t articulate one policy and effect of said policy that’s going to lead to “happy days” for ya. Did your eyes well with tears whilst watching Army/Navy and the commander in thief? Be honest.
    I’ll be honest, I sure did get emotional watching this game a bunch of times today.  I mean look at this awesomeness!! Totally going to be there next year…
    I gotta say, it must suck to be one who hates America after seeing something so Patriotic and impressive.   I sure am getting used to all this WINNING or as some have call it….OWNING!!!

    this is hilarious. you are a 50 year old adult

    At least we can scream for joy that an irrelevant college football game with about half the audience of a national NFL game will do something for this country. 
    Everyone here knows how to get the trolls gone, yet no one can resist responding to the things they say - which are DESIGNED to piss people off. It's insanity to engage with these folks. Set them on ignore, and don't try to fight ignorance and stupidity with logic and decency - trolls are void of both. 

    Excellent reminder, especially in a time when trolling is bogging down AMT.  I'm guessing that is part of the MO as well.
    The best reaction is NO reaction.
    Ignore ignore ignore
    That makes sense to me as well...

    Ignore ignore ignore

    or have the patience and fortitude to answer factually, logically and with grace. to do so isnt for their benefit but your own....

    I might not meet it, but thats my goal now. I've noticed they seem to ignore most questions posed seeking facts or clarification. speaks volumes imo...

    ...but at the same time, I respect your efforts.  Hard t beat logic and grace.
    I hate to say it, but trolls do beat logic and grace, with ignorance and childish attacks. If logic and grace mean nothing to the other person you're conversing with, then it's just a waste of your energy - and they've accomplished their goal. 

    And I have accomplished mine as you do so often. you generally exercise great patience with these folks. refrain from personal attacks. logically and carefully lay out facts or well researched opinion with grace

    frankly its amazing. and a fine model for others.even if lost on the poster you're responding to, its not lost on others. so you win, do you not?
    I’m really humbled by what you wrote, but sadly, I don’t have faith in the way I used to operate on here. People on here are intelligent enough to smell bullshit, so I don’t feel we have to draw attention to the fact that bullshit artists are producing bullshit. We have a tool to ignore the arsonists in the community who just want to burn down quality discourse.

    50 percent of the country just ate bullshit and liked it. What's there left to do?


    ...wait 35 days until they start bragging how great the economy is.
    I’ve realized that’s all you can do. Just ride it out, hope for the best but plan for the worst. I just find it weird how Trump voters are so obsessed with him as a person, it’s just so strange. No point in trying to provide a different perspective, or have a civil discussion. 


    It really is....so strange

    And sounds about right. I wonder if the 50,000 jobs they promised POOTWH in 2017 ever materialized? Anyone?

    2022–present

    edit

    In August 2022, Softbank said that it sold its entire Uber holdings in April–July 2022.[138] It was also reported that Softbank exited Opendoor in that quarter.[139] Five years after Masayoshi Son’s $100 billion fund entered the financial world to much fanfare, Softbank’s venture firm was crumbling and on the verge of collapse. Its large venture vehicles struggled badly, performing in the bottom of the asset class, and many of Son’s closest associates in the effort had departed from the company.[140]

Set them on ignore, and don't try to fight ignorance and stupidity with logic and decency - trolls are void of both.

    See the shiny keys? See me jiggle them and move them around. Don’t look away! This’ll drive down the price of eggs.

    The Monday announcement echoes a similar pledge Son made with then-President-elect Trump in December 2016 at Trump Tower, when Son said he would spend $50 billion and create 50,000 jobs.
    While that money was eventually spent, it is unclear whether those jobs were created. The company has been rebuilding its finances after the failure of high-flying office-sharing startup WeWork and after some of the tech firms it is invested in through its Vision Fund unit fell out of favor among investors.

    Agreed.  And not just how weird it is, but how many people feel that way.  That's what forever confounds me:  just how many Americans actually like or admire a person with that low a quality of character.  It's dumbfounding.

    So We were at the Alabama vs Georgia football game this past Sept visiting my husbands nephew who goes to Bama.  When they showed Trump on the Jumbotron in the second quarter waving at the crowd the place went absolutely bonkers!!!

    And yet, you still can’t or won’t define what “happy days” are or will consist of. Weird.
    Here is a simple one for ya since this apparently is so important implying I am weird and all…
    The Greatest country in the world will no longer be led by a shit-4-brains Vegetable.  That alone makes 4 happy days for me and many Proud Americans who were embarrassed of the leader of the free world the past 4 years.   
    No, instead it’ll be run by a shit for brains orange fruit of a mango. You sill can’t articulate one policy and effect of said policy that’s going to lead to “happy days” for ya. Did your eyes well with tears whilst watching Army/Navy and the commander in thief? Be honest.
    I’ll be honest, I sure did get emotional watching this game a bunch of times today.  I mean look at this awesomeness!! Totally going to be there next year…

    Everyone here knows how to get the trolls gone, yet no one can resist responding to the things they say - which are DESIGNED to piss people off. It's insanity to engage with these folks. Set them on ignore, and don't try to fight ignorance and stupidity with logic and decency - trolls are void of both. 

    Excellent reminder, especially in a time when trolling is bogging down AMT.  I'm guessing that is part of the MO as well.

    or have the patience and fortitude to answer factually, logically and with grace. to do so isnt for their benefit but your own....

    I might not meet it, but thats my goal now. I've noticed they seem to ignore most questions posed seeking facts or clarification. speaks volumes imo...

    ...but at the same time, I respect your efforts.  Hard t beat logic and grace.
    I hate to say it, but trolls do beat logic and grace, with ignorance and childish attacks. If logic and grace mean nothing to the other person you're conversing with, then it's just a waste of your energy - and they've accomplished their goal. 

    And I have accomplished mine as you do so often. you generally exercise great patience with these folks. refrain from personal attacks. logically and carefully lay out facts or well researched opinion with grace

    frankly its amazing. and a fine model for others.even if lost on the poster you're responding to, its not lost on others. so you win, do you not?
    I’m really humbled by what you wrote, but sadly, I don’t have faith in the way I used to operate on here. People on here are intelligent enough to smell bullshit, so I don’t feel we have to draw attention to the fact that bullshit artists are producing bullshit. We have a tool to ignore the arsonists in the community who just want to burn down quality discourse.

    50 percent of the country just ate bullshit and liked it. What's there left to do?

    I'll tell you what I find strange: most of them truly believes he loves America. They think he cares about the people he's elected to serve. Seriously.

    He’s pulled off one of the biggest sell jobs in history by convincing a portion of the population that he’s the working man’s president. The reality is that it couldn’t be further from the truth and he doesn’t give a shit about them. He would burn the country down if it benefits his revenge tour. 

    Elon is doing the bigger sell job by manipulating Trump to the tune of billions in net worth for himself.

    Phony patriotism and phony Christianity defines nearly half of the country.  As a nation, we are more transparent than ever.  And yet half of us are not like that at all.  Talk about a raw deal.

    Ending DST is probably the right move even though I very selfishly want it not to end. My reason is that I bike about 120 miles per week in daylight time. Ending DST will slash my ability to do so in spring/fall after work. But again, I know that's selfish. (Equally selfishly, I'd rather go to daylight time all year but darkness at like 8:30 AM is probably a non-starter).

    Ending DST makes sense because the time change messes with circadian rhythm's, etc. 

    The question is, semi-connected to my selfish reason, given how people spend too much time inside, does this bring people (particularly kids) inside too early and swap an hour of play time for an hour of screen time? I dunno.

    That bolded part is an important point.  Twice a year, millions upon millions of people get their sleeping habit jerked around-  not me so much, mine has been wonky for quite awhile anyway, lol, but really, for working people, this is just not a good thing.  It's kind of barbaric, really.

    The question is, semi-connected to my selfish reason, given how people spend too much time inside, does this bring people (particularly kids) inside too early and swap an hour of play time for an hour of screen time? I dunno.

    That bolded part is an important point.  Twice a year, millions upon millions of people get their sleeping habit jerked around-  not me so much, mine has been wonky for quite awhile anyway, lol, but really, for working people, this is just not a good thing.  It's kind of barbaric, really.

    How awesome was that??  We never miss watching the annual Army vs Navy game.  Such a special tradition we need to checkout someday.  
    So We were at the Alabama vs Georgia football game this past Sept visiting my husbands nephew who goes to Bama.  When they showed Trump on the Jumbotron in the second quarter waving at the crowd the place went absolutely bonkers!!! It was such a spectacle of true patriotism by 80,000 people…I personally haven’t witnessed something like that in a very longtime.  Right then and there I knew he was gonna be #47!!  Happy Days are indeed here again…
    And yet, you still can’t or won’t define what “happy days” are or will consist of. Weird.
    Here is a simple one for ya since this apparently is so important implying I am weird and all…
    The Greatest country in the world will no longer be led by a shit-4-brains Vegetable.  That alone makes 4 happy days for me and many Proud Americans who were embarrassed of the leader of the free world the past 4 years.   
    No, instead it’ll be run by a shit for brains orange fruit of a mango. You sill can’t articulate one policy and effect of said policy that’s going to lead to “happy days” for ya. Did your eyes well with tears whilst watching Army/Navy and the commander in thief? Be honest.
    I’ll be honest, I sure did get emotional watching this game a bunch of times today.  I mean look at this awesomeness!! Totally going to be there next year…
    I gotta say, it must suck to be one who hates America after seeing something so Patriotic and impressive.   I sure am getting used to all this WINNING or as some have call it….OWNING!!!

    this is hilarious. you are a 50 year old adult

     Teske got banned yet the p word lady is still around? Unreal.


    At least we can scream for joy that an irrelevant college football game with about half the audience of a national NFL game will do something for this country. 
    Everyone here knows how to get the trolls gone, yet no one can resist responding to the things they say - which are DESIGNED to piss people off. It's insanity to engage with these folks. Set them on ignore, and don't try to fight ignorance and stupidity with logic and decency - trolls are void of both. 

    Excellent reminder, especially in a time when trolling is bogging down AMT.  I'm guessing that is part of the MO as well.
    The best reaction is NO reaction.
    Ignore ignore ignore
    That makes sense to me as well...

    or have the patience and fortitude to answer factually, logically and with grace. to do so isnt for their benefit but your own....

    I might not meet it, but thats my goal now. I've noticed they seem to ignore most questions posed seeking facts or clarification. speaks volumes imo...

    ...but at the same time, I respect your efforts.  Hard t beat logic and grace.
    I hate to say it, but trolls do beat logic and grace, with ignorance and childish attacks. If logic and grace mean nothing to the other person you're conversing with, then it's just a waste of your energy - and they've accomplished their goal. 

    And I have accomplished mine as you do so often. you generally exercise great patience with these folks. refrain from personal attacks. logically and carefully lay out facts or well researched opinion with grace

    frankly its amazing. and a fine model for others.even if lost on the poster you're responding to, its not lost on others. so you win, do you not?
    I’m really humbled by what you wrote, but sadly, I don’t have faith in the way I used to operate on here. People on here are intelligent enough to smell bullshit, so I don’t feel we have to draw attention to the fact that bullshit artists are producing bullshit. We have a tool to ignore the arsonists in the community who just want to burn down quality discourse.

    50 percent of the country just ate bullshit and liked it. What's there left to do?


    ...wait 35 days until they start bragging how great the economy is.

    60 % who could vote did. More people who could vote did not than did vote for one or the other.

    75 million or whatever the total actually is , is in no way shape or form half of 330 million.


    Apathy kills.  90 million eligible voters didn't vote in 2024.  History shows that ~1/3 of the populace support or get fooled into supporting extremists, unpopular ideas and movements, etc (Hitler won with 1/3 of the eligible votes...). If people refuse to vote, or don't fight back against voter suppression, it will be minority rule all the time.  The vast majority of Americans are pro-choice, want reasonable gun control legislation, want Social Security & Medicare.  Yet here we are.

    Ending DST is probably the right move even though I very selfishly want it not to end. My reason is that I bike about 120 miles per week in daylight time. Ending DST will slash my ability to do so in spring/fall after work. But again, I know that's selfish. (Equally selfishly, I'd rather go to daylight time all year but darkness at like 8:30 AM is probably a non-starter).

    Hit and run posts simply meant  to agitate and insult rather than add anything meaningful.  I don't know why anyone would bother with that but oh well.  Their dime.
