And I'm not telling you what to do.  I'm telling you there is this one thing you do that you need to stop.  That's very different.

You really need to start ending your posts with "according to me." It'll help you understand why no one cares what you write. It must really suck when you spend so much time alienating damn near everyone and then can't figure out why no one wants to help you.

Tell you what.
You change your sig to that first, and I will do the same.

Why would I do that? I don't care that no one cares what I write. Unlike you who fixates on it.

But that's where you're wrong.
People care and respond to what both of us write.  A small number of people, but it's a small forum.

According to Winger! Remember? He called you a dummy and you said you prefer mannequin?

Has anyone on this forum ever told you that no one cares what you say?
If they did, did a third user come stick up for you or did some uninvolved user no one was even talking to come in and pile on and say the same thing with even stronger language?
Are you sure you would react differently?

Can we just talk about politics or not at all, please?

For anyone who would like an example of his policies..

What did you think of that bill DeSantis signed yesterday for new car dealers?

Back on topic...
Thank God Tucker left Faux..

Yes, we all would react differently because we have more maturity than the middle schooler you're turning out to be, You can talk about whatever, you don't have to talk about whatever; no one is forcing you participate or not. It's all about the choice you make every time you click Post Reply.

But how do you know?
You don't know because when I tried to turn it back on you, Winger came and stuck up for you.  It doesn't matter, but you don't know because you haven't been tested like this.  You can't know if we are the same because these circumstances certainly aren't treating us the same.

So how about that car dealer bill?
Did you know that Ford was thinking of rolling out a direct to consumer electric car model to compete with Tesla, and we just banned it? Tesla can do that in FL, but not Ford. What do you think?

I don't get it.  You love smarmy and self assured lexiphiles.  Yet sometimes you don't.  They have to be pushing something that doesn't make you think too much, and reinforces that hatred of the other that you love to feel so much.

What did Tucker say that you don't agree with?
I'm just going to say that you didn't watch it. You just saw that I posted a Tucker video and you had to drop in and run your mouth.

You were probably too busy reading or listening to an NPR story..

First of all, like Tucker, I think it's amusing that a Fox News staffer got that "wannabe dictator" message through their system.  It was funny.  He deserved to be fired for going against their leadership, but nothing more than that.  I'll go a step further.  If Fox News wanted to endorse and promote that message, that would be their right.  You know I don't like Fox News.  I gloated over them having to pay Dominion.   But this was not that. 

Tucker quoting intellectual novices such as John Cusack as the voices of the liberal elite is classic strawmanning.  KJP could have handled it better. She could have said, "They can go right on saying that.  I will prove them wrong by leaving them alone.  The people can judge for themselves."  That's what a better President or a better press secretary would have said.

Anyhow, as I've already said,  arresting Trump at this juncture is exactly what Biden would do if he were trying to solidify one-party rule.  On its own, it's definitely a banana republic move.  Considered in context, it definitely is not.  Tucker's smarmy, slow-roll characterization of a hypothetical country that might be Venezuela or North Korea but turns out to be the US was humorous as satire, but it excluded so many relevant facts it loses any hint of seriousness.

Ashley Babbitt's mom is one person.   She was not arrested for her political opinions or intentions.  She hit a protestor.  In front of cameras and cops.  Multiple times.  Now, she didn't hit her hard, and she probably won't be charged, but she is a *violent* protestor. She deserved to be arrested.  A wannabe dictator in the modern world starts arresting journalists and *nonviolent* protestors.  Everyone, and I mean everyone arrests all the violent protestors they practically can.

Tested? By anonymous randos on an internet message board? Dude, get a grip. Lol, you should take a few weeks off the internet.

Yes, John Cusack has become a popular voice among the liberals, and he has been for a while, but you wouldn't know that because you don't read Twitter.

And I notice that you didn't touch on Biden actually being a "wanna be" dictator..  Why is that, Moderator Mikey? Maybe because he shows the traits of one?

Having his political opponent arrested

Enriching the family bottom line while the country burns

Quid Pro Quo Joe

Wants to control how and what children are being taught in public schools. (And none of it is actual healthy education) and personally, the way Hunter turned out, Pedo Joe doesn't need to be anywhere near children..

I mean, the list goes on, but this will fall on deaf ears because it wasn't an NPR podcast..

(1) Having his political opponent arrested

(1) we already covered
(2) country's not burning
(3) all leaders get rich, in every country.
(4) all Presidents have made some sort of education initiative.  46 is making a smaller effort than 43 or 44 did.

What does that have to do with DeSantis and electric vehicles?
