Politics

[Flipper Dude]

All either political party needs to do is to move strongly toward the middle of the spectrum to gain the support of the American people.

We desperately WANT moderation!!!

This is laughable. We do NOT want moderation. We want absolutely nothing to do with Democrat philosophy or policy

Trump just added to his most obvious lies.

He said Reagan was a big fan of tariffs.

Nope.

LOL!

I WISH the Democrats were moderate.

Are you posting while drunk?

“Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards". Said someone, somewhere. I concur.

I don’t know why anyone would have difficulties with the likes of Canadians like Michael Buble, he does a pretty good Frank Sinatra….

People like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell and Alanis Morrissette and Shania Twain have done a lot more.

Seriously.

Surprised you didn't mention Bob and Doug McKensie and Red Green (who I actually like a lot but didn't exactly have a great impact).

Sure thing Ray.

Next time someone fly some planes into your towers feel free to land your remaining planes elsewhere.

Or next time your embassy is taken hostage your employees should go hide out elsewhere. Maybe the French embassy will have space.

Because we all know that anyone who is not American has no value.

It is nice when someone like you comes along and proves yet again that many MAGA folks are ignorant xenophobes.

I think that is a pretty big jump there. I think he was just saying because you are Canadian you have no say in the US politics (like you cant actually vote).

Kind of feel like you are letting your own basis show.

I was a few days and pages behind on this thread, but there were a number of posts that made me think I was better off having not seen them.

US beef prices are soaring. Will Trump's plans lower them?

Trump is under fire from ranchers, who say his ideas to lower prices address "symptoms not the problems".

Wow, you go pheasant and waterfowl hunting for a week and one guy and responses to him takes over the politics thread.

Here is my two cents. I am not a fan of Trump or the way he goes about things. Some of his decisions also baffle the mind, for example his interactions with Putin.

Unfortunately, politics always has been about the lesser of two evils. I’d shudder to think about what a Harris presidency with a Democrat House and Senate would have looked like. Saw a preview during Biden administration and that was enough to hold my nose and vote for Trump again.

And what do we have now?

Our only hope is to vote for divided government.

If one side or the other gets power they will overstep.

Like Trump is overstepping now.

Divided government is our only hope--because a divided government fights with itself and gets nothing done.

And nothing done is exactly what we need from government.

No.

When Ray said, "it is from Canada- so its opinion isn't worth the effort to push the button."

That's a childish personal insult and people should try to grow up and stop it.

Lighten up, Francis.

Childish, personal insults help keep this thread lively.

How to lose a debate.

There you go. That’s the spirit.

For everyone who hasn't recently engaged the AH Ignore function,

I blocked this character some days ago. You are attempting to debate a troll - the sort of informed interactive discussion about which he has zero interest. As I noted earlier, his behavior is to ignore counter argument and simply offer typically sophomoric gotcha lines or the latest leftist X talking point. That sort of pseudo-academic nonsense once was, and perhaps still is heard in the self-congratulatory conclusions drawn in a college snack bar by the deep thinkers with six hours of history and three of philosophy. Now, these pre-adults (regardless of actual age) haunt online discussion. You really should review his few non-politics forum contributions. He is clueless about the core subjects of this forum.

Odd that you should make that type of accusation against an 79-year-old college graduate and Vietnam Era Vet who retired as an Air Force Historian after 22 years in the military and has traveled the world and gets a disability check each month from the VA.

It's easy to just call somebody clueless but it takes guts and brains to prove them clueless.

Is that why you chose to wave the white flag?

Uh, you know he can’t see your posts, right?

Doubtful. He's too busy using AI to generate BS troll material.
