That is hard to construe as an insult, but it can totally be used to illustrate a person with a Manichean world view, that is a good vs. evil, black and white, us vs. them limited comprehension. I trust the government way more than I trust any unelected media type of any political persuasion whose only raison d'être in inciting a viewing audience is for a paycheck. These people think they know " The Way Things Ought to Be" but have no idea or desire how to implement their ideas. Which they are told to have by their billionaire masters anyway. How quaint. The chief problem is that some people view their opinions as fact and elevate these people to levels of outsized power and they do become the tail that wags the dog. And I definitely don't trust elected government officials who didn't graduate high school, offer no constructive legislation and exist only to be trolls. How about you, do you have any original thoughts in any matter? Everything I have seen you post seems to be exclusively a reaction to what someone else has posted, never a position taken with an opinion that is accompanied by source material to base that opinion on.

You haven't figured out what position I've taken ? And I'm certainly not going to post links from media sources to prove a point.Original thoughts ? pot meet kettle. 1 Quote Link to comment

"I'm certainly not going to post links for media sources to prove a point?" Why, you know better than everyone else and obviously don't need to? "Pot meet kettle"; So you admit to having no original thoughts? I rest my case. Edited June 18, 2023 by dhp123166 Quote Link to comment
dhp123166 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I would like to offer a shoutout to Mattndew as he was the one who originally impressed upon me the importance of reliable unbiased sources when formulating opinions. I take that ball and run with it as ALL news sources are biased and compromised by $ so incapable of being " reliable" sources. As close to the source one can get to any given event is going to give one the closest version of truth as one can get without being an original witness. Happy Fathers Day!

"Pot meet kettle"; So you admit to having no original thoughts? I rest my case. I pointed out pages ago your use of the media to back up your so called opinion.Why would I use the media to form my own opinion ? I know you'll refuse to accept or see it but your party's agenda all over the country has been an epic failure period.That's a fact whether or not the media will tell you that.You can't blame that on the right,Trump or anybody else that doesn't agree with those principles.These are my observations not influenced by the media or any talk show host.I live here in California and see what L.A. and Frisco have become.San Diego fortunately hasn't sunk that low yet.How could I possibly get behind what's happened to major cities (Democrat controlled) across the country ? Why would anybody ? When my daily routines no longer let me see what goes on in the world I guess I'll start watching the news so they can let me know what to think.With that said I think it's time to stop feeding the troll. 1 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Can you imagine what this world would be like if they implemented all those Far Left "Great ideas"? As if they haven't screwed up this country enough already. I wish that they all could go and live in a Socialist/Communist country for a length of time, & then see just how great that works. 2 Quote Link to comment

Being the show man that he is it would be great for him to flip back to Democrat and start with the DINO thing. He should do this and really shake down the system from the other side. 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 This is the Washington brain fart virus. WTF is success or failure when it's being defined by completely different points of view. In politics, disagreement is a given, but you'll never earn the right to be heard if you're not willing to relate to the other side as an equal. Otherwise, its just a doink fight with no happy ending. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 Risk management vs. hubris. Just how long does it take to dive down to 12,500? Would they be 'there' when something went wrong? Why are they searching an area the size of Connecticut? Wouldn't it be within a quarter mile of the wreck??? wtf??? Quote Link to comment
