Hello and welcome Bubba,
Glad you have joined our discussions.
I have some personal rules which are more strict than the site rules. Please read and observe my Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
If that's cool with you I look forward to lots of great discussions. If not then we won't be talking long. I hope it is agreeable.
I actually did not even know who that was. I'm not into Marvel. I cancelled cable TV years ago. Don't usually watch late-night. And I prefer older movies. I just liked the way she did that eyeroll.
Caused me to go look something up, become more familiar. Thanks. Obviously an accomplished actress.

It is over a quarter million deaths and counting, It is getting worse. Trump has not attended a pandemic meeting in over 5 months. He stopped the daily update pressers. He simply does not care about it.
There are things a caring president could have done to mitigate the cases and deaths. He did the opposite. Trump played golf and cheated at that too.
Thank you for the warm welcome, PoliTalker. I also prefer civil discourse to the insults and abuse that seem routine on this site. A few days ago, I asked TacomaMan to clarify a post he had made previously. He called me a "troll" and a "dipshit." Asked to join Above Plain Politics Forum; No response yet.
Now, I have a question, but before we get to it, lemme tell you a bit about myself. Perhaps you'll decide you'd rather not read, respond, or participate.
Liberals certainly consider me a racist, homophobe, fascist, Nazi, and a few other choice nouns. And by liberal standards, I am all those things. Racist, for example, used to mean "A person who believes one race is inherently superior to another." Now it just means "A person who questions any part of the liberal agenda."
Don't care who you marry, but when you force other people to participate in and celebrate your lifestyle, you are in the wrong. If you would rather drive a family into bankruptcy and ruin than walk two blocks to a different bakery, YOU are the bigot.
I am a conservative patriot. Have no patience with people who accuse me of worshiping Trump or say I'm a cult member or a Trumptard or any similar nonsense. Here's the truth: Donald Trump was clearly the better of the two choice we had in 2016. He has done what he could to fulfill his promise to prevent illegal aliens and terrorists from entering the United States. Corona Virus caught us all by surprise. With imperfect information, Trump handled the situation as well as could be expected. Does anybody seriously think Hillary woulda done better??
If you're still reading, PoliTalker, perhaps we'll get along and have interesting discussions.
OK, my question: Is there any particular reason I should care whether you read my posts, respond, or participate in my threads??

Hello Bubba,
I had to draw the line at the way people treat me. I don't normally place somebody on Ignore over something that went on between them and another poster. I do have liberals on Ignore. I wouldn't call you those things or anything, really. I don't see discussing politics as being about the people doing the discussing. It's supposed to be about politics. I have rights to post in APP but it doesn't generate enough volume so I post in the wide open forums and use tools filter out the garbage and find the gems. People really talking and saying things; instead of flame wars and looking for targets to unload frustration on. Disamred political discussion posts are the gems.
I use the definition "A person who believes one race is inherently superior to another." And I probably would not call you anything, anyway. If you said something I considered racist I would simply say I consider that racist.
I never really gave that story much of my attention. It just seemed to be bizarre and way blown out of proportion. I never considered it worthy of putting any time into learning about it, that it really has little bearing on where our country is going. That story took on a life of it's own and it's a life I am happy to let pass me by.
I wouldn't make it about you, but I would give my own view and offer my reasons for disagreeing with opposing views. Yes, I do think Hillary would have done better. Far better. She would have taken it seriously, not made it political, done everything possible to keep it from spreading. I am certain of that.
I would hope so.
The only reason would be if you enjoyed an exchange with a respectful individual of an opposing view. I try to voice my own view in the least challenging way possible, but yet still in a way that fully explains my reasoning. Since it is not about hatred, it's possible to explain without sounding like a personal attack.

In the eight months since Darth Omar was giggling about only 61 deaths, 262,000 Americans have died.

That is not what racist means.
Trump was an unqualified, not too bright , and a disaster who did not get better in 2020. He ignored Corona and we are paying bigly. Hillary would have allowed the CDC to run a pandemic. That is what they are trained and paid to do.Yes, she would have been a lot better.
