I did think it was funny that the two guys that actually served (Vance, Hegseth) had their hands over their hearts and Admiral Bonespurs saluted. Magats all x themselves over that. Fucking hilarious.

I do give him credit for not wearing a uniform and/or having cracker jack medals on his jacket.

yeah he's a civilian right now...not appropriate for an orange moron draft dodger

Can't wait to end daylight saving time for good. Just what we need, daylight at 3am in the summer.

Unless you're in Alaska, that would never happen in the US.

Except Ketchikan, AK.  Their shortest day of the year (12/21) has daylight from 8:12 AM to 3:17 PM.

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.

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...

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.

most of us who post alot have jobs that allow us to do so. you'll notice not a lot of posting in the evening/weekends. geez indeed. 

brianlux

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.

hunterh75

lol. wow. Report me when I offend you. GEEZ.  Grow a set, sonny boy

mickeyrat

or you're being watched.  that happens too.

I'm not sure who you are directing this at but I don't report you.  Never even saw the offensive post.  :shrug:

But I got a chuckle out of "sonny boy".

Now here’s something to be proud of and to weep over.

He has stated that he will get Russia invasion stopped and will also get Israel to stop the war in Gaza 😀 but you know what he can’t do a damn thing about it’s the school shootings they will just keep on happening! Take that to the bank

I didn't report you. I responded to you, and by the time I checked again, your post had been removed.

Is it appropriate for the Vegetable in Chief then? 

Shit-4-brains Joe never served either…

THEY WAY I INTERPRET THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SNOPES ARTICLE IS THAT "EVOLVING MODERN PRACTICES" LEAVE IT OPEN TO THE PRESIDENT-ELECT TO SHOW RESPECT, "THOUGH THE EXACT FORM MAY VARY", DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AS HE SEES FIT.
WHAT I FIND TRULY EGREGIOUS IS THE FACT THAT JOE BIDEN DID NOT ATTEND ONE SINGLE ARMY-NAVY GAME DURING HIS ENTIRE TERM IN OFFICE! PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP DEEMED THAT ATTENDING THE 125TH ARMY-NAVY GAME AND HONORING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM, OUR FLAG AND OUR MILITARY MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, TO BE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. THAT IS HOW A PROUD U.S. PRESIDENT SHOULD CONDUCT HIMSELF.

mickeyrat

but typically follow flag etiquette...

thats fucking rich with fuckstick.
