It’s not a serious discussion. Every president tries to do their feel good moments. Usually normal people buy into at least those. Liberals were total retards in that speech. I initially thought they needed to show up to work and do their job and not boycott the speech. But after seeing them, I was embarrassed for them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the NYT is a deep state operation which actively suppresses information which does not promote their deep state authoritarian agenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,480 Posted March 6 It's not about just liberals, you can't really talk to anyone about politics and "change their minds." You've gotta have a pretty compelling argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have changed my opinion on quite a few things over the years, some of it resulting from conversations with conservatives and links/information they have provided to me. Not necessarily wholesale, 180° changes, but changes nonetheless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's near to impossible at this site to have a worthwhile discussion with anyone here. It turns into name calling, and once that starts, I'm out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are people here you can have a conversation with. The insults and name calling suck, but don't be hesitant to use the ignore function. Not seeing seafoam or horsemanure posts helps immensely.

Western Michigan. You would love Founders especially if you like dark brews. Even in KC, Mo. there is a place that is eluding my thoughts. And that city's bbq is freaking awesome. Arthur Bryants. My favorite is probably Jack Stacks on Holmes Rd. Underrated if they are still there. My girlfriend and I are not bar rats, but breweries are super fun. I'm going to pause on the politics again. It's been interesting but it's too time consuming. I am taking a trip to Amsterdam and Bruges soon, and I may post on that. If you have any recommendations especially beer wise please let me know (in another thread). Have a good one, and do try to be nice to people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to a few of these places and it was really fun. Independent local craft breweries with a taproom: Walhalla, Poesiat & Kater, Butcher's Tears, Troost, Two chefs, Krux, Homeland, Kleiburg, Naeckte, Wispe, 7 deugden, De Prael, Friekens, Rauw Brouwers, De Engel, Lions Head. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't blame you for the pause. seemed to me that your utter hatred of Trump personally clouded your thinking to whatever he did is horrific regardless if it was a good thing. Good luck in your future endeavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
