Where are we here, it isn't happening?

Squissy claims to have me on ignore, so he won't learn that there is nothing "scientific" about Scientific American anymore. It has become a woke Leftist mouthpiece.

Well, a few things. One, you and I fundamentally disagree on Trump's motives. IMO his primary motivation is his narcissistic ego, not money. Trump doesn't need more money. But he feeds off of the adulation of others. Two, there weren't a lot of other people auditioning for the role of DC outsider / pot stirrer. Pretty much everyone else running is a lifer politician. Three, when you get someone who is not a seasoned politician, that person is likely to be, how should I say it... rough around the edges? It's part of the package for such a person. Four, the more the Left hates and attacks him, the stronger he becomes and the more his fans support him. Because that hatred and attack is evidence that the swamp doesn't like him, which is what they want. If the Left really wanted to take away his power, they would ignore him, like Freddy Kruger. Somehow, they haven't figured this out.

Living in (former) Pac-12 country, I've seen a bit of Williams, Nix, Penix, and Daniels (ASU). Daniels absolutely sucked here, but that's probably because Herm Edwards is the worst talent developer ever. Williams looked kinda meh when I watched him last season, but I haven't seen enough of the good stuff that has people fawning over him. Penix doesn't seem to have an NFL arm IMO. I think Nix might end up the best of that bunch.

I actually have very high empathy -- I have often said that it was probably the biggest quality which helped me be successful in sales negotiations. If you are as empathetic as you say, then you realize that the vast majority of the poor conservatives you hold with disdain want jobs to support their family, not other people's money. You would also understand why they like Trump. These folks used to be in your party, but you abandoned them, starting with Obama. A lot of them were racist then as they are now, but you hear it now because the Left seems to actively want to flood the country with people from south of the border. Regarding the posters here, sure, a few of them are racist, and a few of them say stupid stuff, but that doesn't mean that everyone who supports Trump's policies is a xenophobic idiot.

Pfft. NSFW language and gore

It's sympathy, not empathy. Lefties probably have more sympathy -- it's why you think black people need your charity, for instance. Well, not YOUR charity, but taxes from other people, since conservatives give significantly more to charities. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34429211/#:~:text=Our meta-analysis results suggest,giving varies under different scenarios.

Well, I targeted Olave expecting a breakout with Carr and... so far, no good. I'm not overly concerned yet, but the results have been wanting. I thought about grabbing Shaheed late but didn't, that was dumb. I do have the DEF in one league.

A while back I was let go as part of a hooge reduction (Strike, I think you helped me at the time. ) Anyway, as I was on the call getting the news, I had the good sense to get off of our company network. After the call I did an indiscriminate download of files, although I made sure I got my contacts (which are gold to salespeople). Sure enough, when I put the computer back on the network, it was remotely lobotomized. Some time later I went into our local office to do my exit interview and hand in my computer. The manager is a good personal friend, and we chatted. I probably said something about the lobotomy, and he told me... the company had software on all computers which tracked every file that came in and went out. I was like: Cool, yeah, that makes sense. Our market was very sophisticated CAD SW, and years earlier, somebody stole source code and started a new competing company. Massive lawsuits ensued, including criminal, and one guy from the stealing company fled to China to avoid incarceration. I'm told that case is well-known in patent/copyright law circles. Anyway, I didn't have source code, so they apparently didn't care that I stole marketing presentations.

Sorry I biotch slapped you. OK, not really sorry.

For most of our history, we have excluded people from most everywhere except select western European WASP countries. As a Polish/Italian/Slovakian Catholic, I'm glad the policy changed in the early 1900s so that my ancestors could get here (they subsequently stopped letting them in until the Immigration Act of 1965). But the fact remains that it is a myth that we've always let in anyone who wanted to enter. The "preference to family ties", along with the abolition of quotas, has been significantly exploited by immigrants from our south. Canada, which is what many Lefties here aspire to, is much more selective in their immigration, focusing on skills and contribution to their economy. Also, welcome back.

The MSM spends 24/7 telling people that Trump is a threat to democracy. I know that centrists like yourself like to think that everyone on the Left is a Nobel Laureate, but realistically, they aren't, and some people take that pablum to heart.

Cmon Tim. "End wokeness" and "they must be stopped" are completely different messages.

Semantics on "he" vs. "they". "End wokeness" is the same thing. "Libs of Tik Tok" is the real problem. Very centrist of you. Summary: there appears to be another attempt to kill Trump. But the above tripe.

What is a "pop up event she's being paid $3000 for"?

So, you have no idea about exercise but call me out on my cardio? And think you can turn that into helping your point? And they set up a Gallow? I know what you mean, it's still idiotic: like, they were going to hang Pence from an actual faux gallows at a protest? But hey, it's all good that there was an apparent second attempt on Trump's life. Because orange man bad.

My cardio is fine, dummy. You can't walk 2 miles in 15 minutes: a 7.5 minute mile is a good jog/run. But you are a pseud who lives in NoCal, maybe you have your people "walk" two miles for you while you post here and get your latte from Starbucks?

No it's not, dummy.

But, Hakeem Jeffries saying "he must be stopped" couldn't possibly incite others to try to kill him? Reminder: it kinda just happened.

1. Wut? Are you trying to tell us that you don't think Trump incited the events of 1/6? Can you provide a single post of yours to support this? If not, you are not a serious poster. I'll stop here and wait for your post(s) supporting #1 before I respond to the others.

Link?

So if I understand: Trump telling people to march on the Capitol on 1/6 was a clear sign that he wanted a violent attack. Jeffries saying "he must be stopped" is just a metaphor for defeating him in elections. Because all Lefties are pseuds like you, don't have Defcon 1 TDS, and would never react to such a post with violence. Again. Like I said, it's hard to have a serious conversation with you sometimes.
