Is that the ole "no I'm not you are" approach?

TDS has a way of exposing the stunted mental growth that an individual had experienced early in their life. 

Sad to see you caught it. Thoughts and prayers.

Politics kills things.

I think Fnord has been a valuable add to the forum even though I disagree with much of his posts, they always come across as reasonable and well thought out, with very little flaming although it is directed at him. I'm also glad worms is back. A few weeks back, I had been delighted to see Rusty start posting again, as I have many fond memories, but sadly Rusty 2.0 has been utterly horrible. Still I'll keep the light on, maybe 1.0 is still in there somewhere. I'd hate for his return to go the way of Newbie's went, another former great poster.

I also liked seeing penultimatestraw's username around but he needs to do more than just show up, claim his bet money from BLS and leave again because I can't help but wonder if he'd have come back at all had he lost that bet.

Thanks for the critique, Pvt. Patronizing, but I'm good.

By the way, I've gone back and read your "I try not to attack anybody" comments. 

I'm tired of this country's polarization and extremist rhetoric, and that goes for both sides, only the Clownzo loyalists dominate this forum, but only in numbers rather than intellect and sense of humor. If Torrid Joe were here, I'd be all over his Antifa-hugging ways.

This forum is infested with all manor of thick-headed, pseudointellectual bullies whose collective sense of humor and intelligence couldn't claw its way out of a wet paper bag.  Their best hope of winning with their own ignorance and stupidity is to drag people down to their level and beat them with experience.

But the absolute kookiest thing I've seen in this 2020 mess is this Nostradumbass civil-war thread, which is utterly lacking of reality and common sense. 

Footballguys boots this guy for his lunacy, so he lands here and spews his batsh!t-crazy civil-war prophecy, complete with precise percentages. The Clownzo loyalists lap it up like dogs eating their own poop.

And you wonder why this country is such a mess right now. 

It's because of people like them and Torrid Joe, for that matter.

It's next to impossible to take seriously a thread full of dire civil-war prophecy and the posters who buy into it. 

Outside of a bunch of pencil-neck goobers setting dumpster on fire and gun-toting rednecks fluttering their Clownzo flags, civil war ain't happening in this country.

You fail to understand the context and rather underscore the point, sport.  A vast majority of my comments back then were to get under Torrid Joe's skin, attacking his extremist rhetoric, which I continued to do on Facebook until he pussed out.

Surely you don't think things are the same now as they were then. 

The Clownzo loyalists have taken things to an unacceptable extreme, churning out conspiracy theories, subscribing to all manner of misinformation, lapping up anything Clownzo says, labeling anything to the left of themselves as socialists, being hostile and intolerant of opinions other than their own, parroting terms like TDS and tuning into every affirmation source to the right of FOX news. 

It's disgusting.

The middle is where the real political traction is occurring, and like it or not, Biden is better suited for nurturing that than this narcissistic, self-serving clown who seized power four years ago and continues to pollute our country with his ego-maniac toxicity, which his loyalists eagerly load up into their figurative syringes and shoot into their arms without question.

Time to put Clownzo in the rear view and move on. He will go down as our country's president.

There will be no civil war. Biden will be president. Hopefully the Republicans can put out a better product next time.

And I most likely will vote for it.

Yep, I voted for him twice. I'd vote for him again, as I will a half-decent Republican in 2024. In the meantime, Biden is the lesser of two poop piles the next four years. For now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he has his eye on the 74 million Americans who voted against him.

Biden is far and away the worst President ever if sworn in.  The guy clearly is bordering on dementia.  Honestly, the first thing that he should do is resign.

What was your favorite part of the Bush years? Wrecking the economy or the useless war? Yeah, you’re really not helping yourself by doubling down on that failure.

If Al Gore was president, and he decided to invade Iraq, the media would have 100% backed it.  The media would have asserted that failure to FULLY comply with inspections is enough grounds to invade and that anyone who disagrees is an idiot that should be removed from public speaking.  They would have trotted out legions of college professors and retired generals to sign letters to publish in the press defending Gore's invasion.

If Gore was president during the credit crisis, the media would have blamed capitalism running amok.  They would argue that capitalism is a prove failure and Gore is the right man in the right place to be stunning and brave and pull us into socialism to fix it.  You would have seen many CEOs marched before congress to explain the failures on a scale you wouldn't believe.  If you defend capitalism at that point, you will be removed from public speaking.  They would have trotted out legions of college professors and retired generals, working class moms and a hologram of Tupac to sign letters to publish in the press defending Gore in trying to fix the problem.

 

The democrats do not believe in *anything* but their own power.  The media and education system exists to facilitate their acquisition of power.  They would flip all of their arguments on Iraq and the credit crisis around and backwards to get power.

I don't get this whole generalization of "the media," and I spent decades working in it, the last outlet being hardcore conservative. Media outlets are all over the political spectrum, no more than ever. The media in general scrutinizes the hell out of every president. It was brutal on President Clinton. Your assertion about Gore and the media is ridiculous, as are most things that pour forth from you fingers upon this forum.

If 100 percent of the media actually backed something, that would be something that demands serious attention.

A $1.3 trillion tax cut program. No Child Left Behind Act. A major education bill. He also pushed for socially conservative efforts like the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and faith-based welfare initiatives. He also expanded and toughened homeland security.

He focked up on Iraq, but you can't pin the economic meltdown on him. He inherited the popped dotcom bubble, and the handing out of mortgages like Halloween candy under the Clinton administration played a key role in the 2008 recession. 

And he didn't spend Christmas Day  about everything like Clownzo did yesterday.

This is just so stupid it should be shocking. But it’s not. Bush doesn’t get to distance himself from the mortgage fraud when he was bragging that home ownership during his presidency was the highest ever. Hard to believe that got by you.  And a guy who just voted for Biden bringing up a pro life stance. Wow Oh, and the schools suck. But please, continue.

Oh don't play this old game.  We know how it goes. 

1.  You *sneak* in the "100%" qualifier as a trojan horse to your argument.  
2.  Then you lie and claim I said 100%. 
3.  Then you find a small handful of articles where the mainstream press criticized a democrat.
4.  Then you claim the mainstream media is "perfectly balanced", when its really that small handful of criticism and like 99% on board with the entire democrat agenda.

Stop moving the goalposts.  You are going to hurt yourself.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

One of the funniest things about braindead democrats is when you tell them the dotcom crash happened under Clinton.  They just outright lie and claim it did not and then shout you down.  Its like being directly over the target and getting enormous flak.  But that's a good case study.  The mainstream media eternally shielded Bill Clinton from criticism over the dotcom crash.  They just shifted the blame to Bush, even though the underlying issues occurred in the 1990s, the market peaked in January 2000, and every was falling apart all through 2000 and Bush took office in 2001.  They just say it was Bush's fault and Bush does not get credit for the recovery.  Then when the economy goes down in Bush's final year, THAT one is Bush's fault and Obama gets the credit for the recovery. 

The media these days mostly ignores the dotcom crash like it never happened, because the narrative would not stand up to scrutiny.

Huh. That is not at all how I remember it. I was working in TV media at that time, and there was no lack of criticism directed toward Clinton and the dotcom bubble crashing. You guys have bought in way too hard on your media narratives, claiming that the monolithic "media" is all in lockstep with each other, burying stories and propagandizing. It's mostly garbage. But I won't convince you otherwise, so carry on. I just wanted to point out that this post of yours doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
