    Somebody on here mentioned Flag Waving.  I discussed this with another member too.

    I want to take back the American Flag.  Ol' Stars n Stripes, red white and blue.

    Why should waving a flag represent one side of the aisle?  We are all Americans and have the same right to enjoy it, wave it, wear it even nowadays.

    I would implore you to go and buy a flag and display it.

    Here is a link to properly display Old Glory.

    I'm serious about this too.  The flag shouldn't represent a political party or a way of life.  It should be of democracy and the constitution.

    Rant over...

    “Cancel culture” is nothing more than conservatives painting themselves as victims when faced with the consequence of their own action.

    Al Franken was cancelled.  The dems stepped up though to prove a point.  I do believe that Repubs had a problem with that one too.

    I don't know that Franken was canceled, but he did face social and career consequences for his past behavior. Nothing wrong with holding people accountable for socially unacceptable behavior that carries no legal ramifications.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Pretty pathetic that Franken faced more consequence for that incident than Trump did for all of his that actually led to people dying or being killed.

    Al Franken wasn't "canceled", he was pressured to resign due to his own stupidity / indiscretions and he caved to that pressure. 

    & since you brought it up, show me where democrats / liberals bemoaned the "cancel culture" that led to Al Franken being pressured to resign.

    I don't recall too many groaning about it but it did happen, The View defended him if I remember.  There was more bellyaching from the right about it.  They mocked the dems for doing it.

    To me he was cancelled for doing a joke, he is a comedian after all but it wasn't in vogue anymore.  The dems had to have him removed or they would have looked ridiculous when questioning any repubs.

    We evolve, I get it.

    i think what he means by franken not being cancelled is that it was his decision in the end. he wasn't fired, or forced to resign. there were calls for his resignation, but to be cancelled, I think it has to be against their will.

    The dems definitely told him to resign.

    they did, but he wasn't fired. to me that's the difference. maybe I'm interpreting "cancelled" incorrectly.

    That may be so, but I'd still argued that Franken was cancelled.  Popular opinion can push someone to do something "not against their will."  The odd part about Franken's story is how he was cancelled...by his own allies who sacrificed to to show how they take the high road. It didn't help.

    Of course, the more the term is used, the more watered down it becomes. Now they just toss it out for anyone calling out anything. (Kinda like how "Snowflake" used to mean overly-sensitive liberal and now it just means any liberal).

    Cancelled!

    The former Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City was imploded Wednesday, marking the end of an era on the city’s boardwalk.

    Upon its opening in 1984, it was the largest hotel and casino in Atlantic City. During its heyday, the venue hosted concerts, marquee boxing matches and WrestleMania events.

    as an aside: how do YOU spell "cancelled"? one L or two? I've always spelled it with 2, but I often see it with one.

    From a quick google search: 

    Technically, both are correct. In American English, canceled is the more common spelling, and cancelled is more common in British English. The same is true with canceling and cancelling. When using these words, consider your customers.

    ah, of course I've always spelled it the British way. just like there's a "u" in every word that has an "o"!
