    When did you get kicked off the porch for posting so much there blux?
    I've never been kicked off the porch but I got a ride from a dude on acid driving a VW van one time while I was hitch hiking. Why?

    I find it funny the crowds in that shit box called Chicago organize a massive protest against someone who will probably help give them more job opportunities than any president in the last quarter century, but seem to have zero interest in organizing massive protests in opposition to the fuckers that slaughter their fellow ctizens on a daily basis. What a bunch of dumbasses.

    The citizens of Chicago who have watched their city turn in to the joke of America? Who have watched crime and murder hit an all time high? Who have watched their Public School System turn into a absolute joke? Who have watched a bunch of corrupt politicians run that city to the ground? Yet keep on electing the Democrats, for the last 80 years?

    Those citizens?

  • If you actually support Trump... feel free, but you should do so quietly around here unless you're down with people speaking towards you as if you are an uneducated fool (the sort Trump is trying to appeal to).

    Just as sitting in a church and talking about how cool Beelzebub is would draw heavy criticism by religious people... or sitting in Fenway talking about how shitty Ted Williams was... coming here and talking about how cool Trump is will not be received well- the majority of people on here have at a minimum a remote level of intelligence.

    For a serious Trumpfest... one has to find a place where the people are stupid and toothpaste is safe.

    It's acceptable to protest or exercize free speech when it comes to Trump but not Vedder? Freedom of speech goes both ways.

    "You should do so Quietly around here" HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA You really would have fit in perfectly with them "peaceful Protesters" last night at the Rally…The same Losers who so passionately support Freedom of speech but are so intolerant of letting OTHERS have theirs.
    I tell ya, this place is priceless to me and its people like you that keep me coming back for constant laughs and to totally reaffirm all my political views. Thank you

    It's almost as if there are two sets of fans when presented by an opinion such as the above.
    An elitist, cliquish type fanfare.
    Certainly not like trump.

    I'm glad you guys enjoy the music. I still think it's a bit strange that you come here to discuss politics. It's your perfect right, of course. But personally, I would not choose a band site that is so very much contrary to my beliefs on which to discuss politics. I might discuss the music or the weather or my cat or dog, but I would not have the slightest inclination to waste my time discussing politics. I don't see what you get out of it.

    Just curious- besides A Moving Train, about what percentage of your time here do you guiys post on the various other forums sections- the Porch, Other Music, All Encompassing Trip, etc. Surely you must spend a majority of your posting time on PJ related forum sections since that's what it's about for you, correct?
    As a matter of fact, I rarely check or post in AMT. I usually post in The Porch.

    And the reason I decide to discuss politics here is because I honestly want to hear what the other side has to say on issues. I find it interesting.

    And I don't add insults when someone disagrees with me, which is what many seem to do here. I disagree in peace! :peace:

    The Chicago way.
    Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff, leaves the White House to become Mayor of Chicago.
    Rahm appoints Barbara Byrd-Bennett CEO of the Chicago Public School System.
    Bennett has now pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including bribery and kickbacks and is looking at 7.5 years in prison.

    Im so proud of Chicago!

    You missed the second part of my statement (holy Christ what kind of cop are you?). The part that said, "... unless you're down with people speaking towards you as if you are an uneducated fool (the sort Trump is trying to appeal to)."

    So... in other words (I'll clarify for you seeing as you need some clarifying)... feel free to talk about Trump. But expecting an appreciative crowd is foolhardy at best.

    * You never name dropped here, Musky. You never made mention of the most recent celebrity you've protected. What's up?

    And also... don't limit yourself to Trump.

    You should voice what you have to say regarding moe issues that present themselves on here. People will get to know you better and Chadwick is right- there are some really good people here. They don't always agree with each other (sometimes vociferously), but for the most part... respect is there.

    Well atleast we go our beloved Hawks and the 2016 Chicago Cubs... The Libs can't ruin that, but I am sure they will try as they always ruin everything one way or another .... Tight lines

    I expected better.

    * By the way... I just looked at your user image. I never really looked at it very closely before. It's Obama. Boring. I always thought it was Blue Oyster Cult's Agents of Fortune Album.

    How many people of Chicago were employed by Trump, here in Chicago, during the 4 years it took to put up the "Trump Tower"? I have a feeling Trump was welcomed with open arms then. Right?

    People have short memories.

    As a private businessman, Donald Trump has created 22,000 jobs, and brought in an annual revenue of $9.5 billion last year.

    Yeah, you're right, this is a good place to discuss current events. It gets warm in here, but that's life.

    No, insults are not cool. If you ever believe I have insulted you, tell me. I pretty try to keep my criticisms more general. If you already believe I insulted you, my apologies. I really don't like doing that.

    I'm just now thinking of this D Boon lyric:

    FAKE CONTEST

    I'm making my case against a stack full of comics
    Here comes the line...
    I'm loaded with rocket fuel!

    Industry Industry
    We're tools for the industry
    We're clothes in the laundry
    Bleached of identity
    You lie there naked
    I lie here naked
    Both on the pavement
    Why are we different?

    You lie there naked
    I lie here naked
    Both on the pavement
    Why are we different?

    How will Trump create jobs?

    So who are they are supposed to organize massive protests against?

    They shouldn't have protested.
    Brilliant.
    Absolutely brilliant.

    I might have to agree! When a child taunts a dog and gets bit, you don't blame the dog, it's just a dumb animal that doesn't know better. If they burn their hand on the stove, you don't blame the stove, it doesn't have a brain.

    I think I have to agree with you, this analogy fits pretty perfect with the dumb animals and brainless machines that sucker punch peaceful protesters and then threaten to kill them.

    Are you not ashamed to stand with that hillbilly disgrace?

    You could put up Picts of these fools in full nazi uniforms and his fans wouldn't care he can do or say anything and his supporters will vote for him even his supporters here wouldn't show outrage at something like that !!

    Very true, but it matters to me that their utter lack of shame be publicly documented. If Trump wins or loses we should remember who was on his side as a society and remember that they openly embraced (or conveniently looked away from) the rise of American facism.
