Don't conflate me with some lefty radicals unless you want me to start calling you a Nazi sympathizer, of which there are a great many in this country, almost exclusively on your side of the aisle. How about instead of assigning labels, we actually ask opinions? While your hardheadedness is annoying, and I'm sure you feel the same about me, I appreciate the mostly respectful convo, as always. Left and right still have far more in common in this country than not, and I'm not going to just lose faith in a third of the nation because I disagree with them. We have the same/similar values, it's just the opinions that differ. That’s fair. I think your numbers are off on most occasions like the 1/3 of the country? And I could easily argue the case that there are far less as many perceived Nazis, actual Nazis, as there are radical liberals at this point. And notice I said actual. Not Nazis because they enforce laws you don’t like. But sure that’s fair. I will certainly work on not lumping you together or insults.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Libs, party of censorship. Not sure it would qualify as a joke. Comedians nowadays simply state a political view and expect applause, or they state a misfortune of someone from the other party and expect a laugh. I think of a joke as something with a set up and a clever twist on perception and expectation which maybe reveals a bit of ourselves to us.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Artest 3,077 Posted February 5 In the days after the shooting, various people—including teachers, firefighters, and members of the military and U.S. Secret Service were fired from their jobs for social media posts that celebrated Kirk's assassination or were seen as disparaging of his legacy.[47] Vice President JD Vance called for a crackdown on liberal political groups and an investigation into "uncivil" speech critical of Kirk or disrespectful of his memory or legacy.[48][49] These calls to use Kirk's death to "justify measures to silence opponents" and crack down on political speech have been echoed by President Trump and other leading Republican officials.[50][51] Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also called for a purge of the military and broad investigation into members found to be critical of Kirk in the wake of his death.[52] Stay down, @Strike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t taken any money from the pocket of the local store and its owner and I still got my product. Liberals whined about a……comic. First of all that’s completely bizarre.
