Thank you for finding that. 
 

Problem is I don’t have info on any of those people. As soon as they pm me I will pay them. Today. 
 

@Engorgeous George $2000 (I know you deferred but the money is still yours if you want it, you won fair and square.) 

@Jon_mx $500

@shadrap$500

@Mark Davis$100

When I said we were settled on this wager I meant it.  I'd probably just spend it irresponsibly anyhow.  Who knows, by not getting that money you may have saved me from myself and the law.

Actually mine was $500.  The posts were on Feb. 8.  I'll tag the post if you want, but would rather you have a look to verify so it's not something I edited.

The other day I wrote that I would be posting a lot less in this forum and that remains true UNLESS anyone wants to engage in some serious discussion with me: you know the kind where you offer ideas and mean them, no trolling, and you’re prepared to back up your arguments. The kind where you try to avoid name calling and gratuitous remarks. If nobody wants to do that, I get it, that’s fine. Stay out of this thread and I’ll stay out of yours. If you do come into this thread looking to troll me I can’t stop you but don’t look for me to respond. 
 

As for anyone who wants to have deeper, thoughtful discussions, let’s have a clean slate. I’ll respond to everyone who seriously wants to engage with me: you don’t remember my past comments and I won’t recall yours either. We’ll start over; how’s that? I am a liberal and I know most of you are conservatives but that’s no reason we can’t engage in fruitful, respectful discussion. I am interested n the following topics: the Presidential election, Trump’s legal problems; Biden’s legal problems, abortion; climate change, inflation and the economy, gun control, race relations; the border and undocumented immigration, gay and trans issues, Ukraine and NATO, Israel and Palestine,  the House and Senate races, all in no particular order. I want to discuss this stuff with serious people who disagree with me. If you’re not one of those, then no worries. We don’t need to talk any further.

Hey the offers still open. If you or anyone else want to have a serious discussion on any of the subjects I mentioned let’s do it. Ask me a question and I will do my best to answer.

Hard to find a candidate for major office in this country worse than Donald Trump but this Mark Robinson fellow, the new Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, seems to fit the bill. I had never heard of the guy until a few days but damn what a whackjob. Of course Trump calls him a new Martin Luther King only much better.

Lol.  Listening to MSM again huh?

Always. But in this case I heard excepts of speeches from Mr. Robinson, saying some really crazy sh!t, and then Donald Trump calling him the next MLK. So I didn’t need much interpretation  to form an opinion.

Color me shocked that the Left considers a black conservative an uppity negro.

The problem is I don't buy into the characterization of this guy.  Sure he has probably said some crazy stuff over the years, but the laundry list of what you think he said is twisted lies.  He says stuff like we don't need to worry about the Nazi's because we take care of them a long time ago.  The media twists thst into that he us a Nazi lover.  It is just like the Tucker non-sense.  Just because he interviewed Putin does not mean he is some kind of Russian age t or Russian-loving traitor.  It is so tiring listening to the obnoxious spin.  

And besides, I really don't care if some governor of NC believes their are aliens running around, as long as he stands for upholding the principles which make this country great....freedom, equality, justice.  

Hell, you guys support Biden who will be damn lucky to make it through tonight without looking like he belongs in a nursing home.  I am praying thst he looks good, because I want him on the ticket in November.  I would support some guy with some crazy ideas that has a grasp on what America stands for, over some mindless puppet who is completely controlled by some unknown group of elitist bastards who crave power.  Biden can't find his way to the potty, he is certainly not running this country. 

These takes didn’t age very well for @Strike, @jerryskids, and @jonmx

Why?  RealTim and the MSDNC said that because they don't like his politics, not because they knew anything about the recent revelations.

Why did you take serious out of the title?

Hey @TimHauck, why aren't you calling out @The Real timschochet for this blatant lie?   Has it "aged well?"

RealTim said he was a whackjob and said his opinion was based on clips of him speaking. Robinson being a whackjob has now been confirmed and probably was already based on his previous comments.

Even if you like this guy’s policies, how can you not think he’s a total a$$hole?

I look back on this thread and it’s sad that all of my dire predictions about a Trump Presidency came true. Wish it were otherwise…

One might have hoped you would have learned from our bet to not count your chickens before they are hatched.  Apparently not.  You like the premature victory lap.  You remind me of Desean Jackson raising the ball in celebration before he crossed the goal line only to fumble it out of the enzone.

You completely misunderstood what I wrote, or perhaps you didn’t read last sentence: “I wish it were otherwise.” This is no victory for me. I am not celebrating. I take no pleasure whatsoever to see this country suffering. I still hope that things turn out well for Donald Trump, because that means things will turn out well for America. I root for him to suddenly become a good President or even a mediocre one. Reversing himself on the tariffs would be a good start. 
 

DeSean Jackson went to my dad’s high school, Long Beach Poly. I think it still has rhe record for most NFL players from a single high school.

No. I understood you perfectly in spite of your obfuscation.  We have enough of a baseline on your thoughts to read between the lines and to know who you are.  I love that once again you will decline the opportunity for self examination and growth.

Wow, this EXACT same thing happened at FBG's after one of Tim's many suspensions for violating the TOS.  And, of course, within a week or two Tim was just posting away all over the place anyways.  It's so weird how we can predict exactly what will happen with him over and over.  Tim if you want to send someone trustworthy, say Jerry, $1000 that you forfeit if you ever post in another thread I'll honor your request.  Otherwise, fock that.  I'll troll the fock out of anything you post in because your commitments when it comes to posting are meaningless. I'm so focking sick of you making commitments like this and then reneging on them when you get bored.  

I look back on this thread and am sad that my predictions came true ....

No. There’s no “we” only you. And you read me wrong. Sucks for you:
