This wasn't a political thread until you crapped onto it.

I'm sure you're correct.

Almost a year and a half later the party of deflection is still trying to keep Jan 6th in the news. I am sure it has nothing to do with the current disastrous administration. I seriously wonder what the main objective is. Trump has no chance of winning the 2024 nomination, I think they are just trying to tie in all Republicans with the Jan 6th crowd, they are a pathetic bunch. It will be fun in November.

Yeah, an illegal insurrection, something far worse than Watergate, is just a nothingburger.

To those that wanted it to succeed.

Likely a very stressful time for you what with today's SCOTUS decision along with another tomorrow? The main thing is to avoid despair and seek help.

Don't worry. Drano is quite a lot less dangerous than Novichock.

It's pretty clear that if Rudy and trumple-lie-skin need any more weird henchmen, that PM offers a wealth of choices.

May I presume that none of you a-holes (collective is fine, yes?) have been watching the Congressional hearings? And that the clearly illegal attempt to steal an election (by the Repugs) hasn't swayed you one bit?

Be careful about wishing for your own version of Russia. Yes, there are some winners if you're part of the inner circle, but perhaps you should check out the living standards of the masses in Russia and decide if you REALLY want that for yourselves?

[For all your whining, we're still far better off. And we're not invading Canada, either]

Congressional hearings? You must mean the mock trial that will lead to nothing, just like impeachment, Russia, Russia and Stormy Daniels. I've been hanging on every single word, waiting for justice and prophesy to come of it. What do you expect to happen from this? Will it Build Back Better?

And version of Russia? Have you seen fuel prices, inflation, or empty shelves at the grocery lately? Write how you think we are far better off.

Maybe someday I can be an octogenarian, fall off my bicycle, and become the laughing stock of the world. Some apparently consider that success.

I think America as most us knew is pretty much gone. For some I guess, that sucks, while others feel it is an improvement. Above and beyond the inflation rate, high gas and grocery prices which most certainly are putting many people in a world of hurt is the baby food shortage deal.

Someone somewhere stands around with his thumb up his ass and does not have enough brains to call up some heavy hitters in production and supply and tell them to get the U.S. baby food plant up and running and find other capacity in the U.S.---But oh no--we got to fly it in from overseas and now our Commander In Chief puffs up his chest because he's got the stuff coming in from Mexico.
At least FDR had enough brains to call in Sorensen to make sure shit got made. Of course maybe we don't have anyone who takes calls from the White House when it comes to producing anything in the United States.

Infant formula....Making parents burn expensive gas to hunt for food to feed their babies. How fucked up have we become?

So I guess as long as Congress can keep the 1/6 clown show running at least half the country will be distracted from economic reality.

Now off to seek help and await my moderator warning.

Now if those maniacs cannot control themselves, can you PLEASE just auto-delete their posts? They're destroying this place.

Some "maniacs" like the idea of Democracy surviving. But it seems, fewer than I thought...

maybe people don't like your version of Democracy where it involves confusing the kids today on what sex they want or should be. Attacking people for not getting vaccinated, destroying public and private property and call it peaceful protests or making career criminals the victims or hero of every police encounter.

So rather than let a youth have a chance at living as they wish to, it's better that they suffer emotionally, including to the point of suicide? And it's fine to not pay attention to a medically factual pandemic, and self-treatment options like bleach and horse medication are better, even though proven ineffective? And by destroying property in "peaceful protests", you're talking about January 6th, right? You know, that little event where around 140 POLICE OFFICERS WERE INJURED, AND SOME SHORTLY THEREAFTER DIED?

Give it a friggin break Millie. Nobody cares about your new favorite soap opera, its theatrical garbage. There are only two genders; male and female. Females carry babies, males put them there. It is what it is. You don't feed into the paranoid delusions of a schizophrenic... this is no different.

We are not changing objective truth just because the t.v. tells you that it might maybe prevent a small minority of mentally Ill people from Epsteining themselves.

If you want to drink bleach? Go ahead and get after it boss. I won't stop you.

So you have no problem with males competing as a female in sporting events? So you have no problem with firing people over not wanting or trusting the vaccine? You have no problem attacking people who choose to not get vaccinated. As for peacefull protests , I was talking about all the cities under seige from the peaceful protests., Places like St. Louis, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, LA and Kenosha that had portions burned down, looted, civilians and police officers attacked and even killed. I like the fact that if you do not like a statue just set it on fire, spray paint all over it or even tear it down. You seem to have no problem with the animals destroying private property, looting businesses, burning down homes or business of private owners that have nothing to do with the protests. It is so sad how you can only talk about one event that was bad yet ignore all the previous events that happened.

We have thermite with a second banned account of monarchist. Barbter also has barbter 2 and 3. Latheman78 is also citizenf16.

But if Big B has a second account that can't happen.

It appears that anyone can have as many accounts as they wish to have. I purposely used a name that was similar to my original username just like barbter did.

I think the moderator has some real bias here. Maybe it's a lot of reporting from the right wingers. Who knows.

And it's fine to generalize but we can't specifically call out any certain members, like the right wingers have done to me the last dozen or so posts.

Calling the moderator a coward seems pretty much pointed at a specific person and that still is fine.

I'd be happy to follow the rules that everyone else follows, but it seems that we have special rules for me.

There is a reason you have been spanked on here several times yet I doubt you will ever figure it out.

If a no-name forum then anything goes.. Up to the moderators to decide when enough is enough.

Re: (So you have no problem with males competing as a female in sporting events?)
Yes, I think it is not fair for boys to compete with girls. Pretty much kicks girls out of most sports competitions, a dirty shame IMHO.

OT: I know a lady who had her boobs removed and is now going with a boy's name. She is overweight, dresses and looks sloppy, and normally talks with a chip on her shoulder attitude. It is really odd that any guys or gals would like her. Who knows how far this might go.
I knew a guy whose's late teenage daughter shot herself because her dad would let her get a sex change. I never met the daughter.

I think this forum should address potatoes, not much could go wrong arguing about potatoes. But I have never tried to surface grind a potato, likely s soft wheel might do OK.

Looks like the supreme court has overturned Roe Vs. Wade. The fascists are winning and that isn't good.

#1 I fully explained my account situation and when and why I created 2 and 3.
And that while someone was dicking sbout extending my ban, 3 was also deleted.
Although it shows up as an account in the search function....

#2 so i am a right winger now am i?
Although you have no idea how or who i voted for?
As Shawn says - go look in the mirror

1. I haven't exactly tried to make it a secret that I have the second account that I opened when I got banned and the ban didn't get lifted when it was supposed to.

2. Yes you are a right winger judging by what you write here. You could easily fit right in at any trump cult rally.

As to who you vote for, its probably someone that I've never heard of being in Spain and all.

Nonsense. All that does is return control of the statutes to the STATES.
Maps are already online as to which States permit what.
Each State responds to the STATE's voters. No surprise they differ is it?

Your alternative was what?
Federal protection of the right to decide on an abortion up until ....
.. "X" years after conception?

What's your present age again? And how well do you get along with yer Parents?

This problem, too, can be resolved.

It's not a matter for the feds or the states. It's a medical issue.

When they wrote the freedom of religion clause they forgot to add a freedom from religion clause. I'm pretty sure the guys who created the original government framework were not in favor of a theocracy.

With most of the "developed world" birth rate below "population replacement", some by a great deal.. it is also a demographics and economic 'futures' issue.

What it is NOT is a "Practical MACHINIST" issue. America(s) OR Europe.

Another good reason for this entire forum to be dumped, outright.

And/or optionally restarted as something like "global supply chain issues", shipping, lead-times, tariffs, customs, currency exchange, how to pay or GET paid across national borders..

SOMETHING that actually RELATES TO manufacturing in a complex supply-chain global environment.
