2020 US Presidential Election

Yep.

I saw that NYC had a riot but no MSM coverage yet? It's not a front page story, at least.

The MSM and big tech, we can rely on those pillars of integrity and honesty, right?

 

Before the virus and the killing of George Floyd, the country was in very good shape. Once the riots over the cop killings started, the Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans zeroed in on Trump as a scapegoat.

No president could have prevented COVID-19 deaths, or stopped a union-supported killer cop. If you believe that Hillary would have been able to, you are delusional and/or stupid - and this is far more dangerous than if you were simply honestly against the man for rational reasons.

 

The Republicans who voted for impeachment are outcasts now. People in Wyoming are upset with Liz Cheney. Another newcomer Republican also basically said he ruined his future career. They do not have the support of the people.

Nixon impeachment was the most bipartisan ever.

 

Nixon wasn’t impeached.

 

You may be technically correct. However, the House voted after he resigned.

OPINION: Was Nixon impeached? Yes, by a 412 to 3 Vote

It was a 412 to 3 vote for his impeachment.

 

Sure but I meant the impeachments that actually happened. That said, I didn’t know the full House voted, that’d be a very interesting bit of history.

But since Nixon wasn’t impeached the statement I made remains true.

 

Had he stayed in office instead of resigning quickly before impeachment vote, he would have been formally impeached with same/similar figures. It is my opinion that he was essentially impeached.

 

Well... this is funny.

After some thought, I think my handsome image was my alter ego talking.
I looked like that in my thirties, in my 50s now and post tinnitus, I look like Marty Feldman with a lobotomy.

Is Marty Feldman with a lobotomy what you had in mind?

Peace out FGG.

 

Lol. No. That's even more off.

I was thinking more of a "beat poet" look. Like Lawrence Ferlinghetti in his younger days. No worries, my predictions of people based on their writing styles are never accurate.

 

Oh boy, what do you think I look like?

 

This is the last one I'm doing because I don't want to derail the thread.

I see you as young, thin but not wiry (like a distance runner kinda build) with dark hair (and not super clean cut) and brown eyes. I'm drawing a blank on celebrities but you wouldn't have the right look to say play a Mormon or something.

 

BTW, some of us make our profile pictures our actual pictures, leaving no mystery.

 

How the hell did you get my yearbook photo?

 

I was in your class. It's me, Mike.

 

Daniel, you remind me of a sexy male librarian.



EDIT: The same picture, but with hearing protection on.

 

Back to politics for a second. I have to admit even as a Bernie fan, Biden's EOs today have all been much needed.

 

So far so good right now. Let’s wait and see what we have in store.

 

Call me a glass is half full. Time will tell. I can't tell if Biden is going to be a good president or if he's just following up the devil's work.

 

I picture everyone as a talking version of their profile picture. So I really do imagine you typing away as that green guy

I imagine @aot as Humphrey Bogart (his old profile picture), @Lucifer as Drake, @GlennS as Archer, and @Daniel Lion as the little monkey in his 'mood' bar. I think I lack imagination

 

I pictured @Daniel Lion as a self-reliant, mellowed out, white rastaferian with dreadlocks, living off the grid like Woody Harrelson, lol.



And lowkey he uncontrollably shapeshifts into a Lionized warewolf on full moons. Just goes berzerk and mauls anyone approaching to a gorey end, regardless of their politics. Hence the need for his remote dwelling, lol.

 

Several months ago, I made a vow to help @PeteJ in this heavily biased left wing thread, despite myself having left leaning views. I still know how to argue from a libertarian angle.

I find it interesting that some leftists like to get a self esteem boost by making themselves look like civilized educated people, and anyone who disagrees with them (even on economics) is backwards and uneducated. I am a left leaning libertarian, but I noticed a trend in the far left is acting like anyone who disagrees with them is either uneducated or racist. In fact, I have seen a few people in this thread give off those tones. You should stop that because it's a snobby and bad habit to belittle people who disagree with you. I think the far left leaning media is giving them the illusion that they are smarter and more educated for supporting socialist policies. That's propaganda. "I agree with this socialist policy because I want to be a sophisticated smarty pants" propaganda.

 

If you've seen Jimmy Neutron you know how my character sounds and his theme as a crackpot father, who loves ducks, pie and watching over his genius son. I'm not a dad, I don't like pie and ducks, but I do nail the crackpot role.

 

And @just1morething as Columbo.

 

I agree, I think the problem with American politics is that, Hollywood and mainstream media are on the left side of the political spectrum which is causing many of those that support Republicans to stay quiet as they will get judged by their peers and cause conflict with each other which may lead them to losing their jobs in the entertainment industry for supporting Republicans.

It is so easy for them to sway the vote one way with their social media following. I know the majority of them supported Democrats and it feels like those people that support Republicans are a needle in a haystack full of Democrats which make it hard for them to speak up without conflict as no one from the left seems to want to listen and hear them out and discuss on the issue. That’s why those celebrities that supported Republicans in the entertainment industry had to stay quiet or risk losing their jobs and I don’t think this is okay and no one should be forced to vote for someone that they don’t want to.

Now this is causing a flow on effect to normal citizens and depending on who their friends are they may also get judged by their peers as well and what’s happening within American politics is that in the media the Democrats are portrayed as good people and Republicans are portrayed as bad people. If your friends support the same party as you or if you are friends with people who support other political parties and both of you don’t care then you’re lucky but if you get those type of people that will disown you for supporting a different political party to them then we have a problem.

 

Have you seen the new Bernie Sanders meme that’s been circulating? I can’t stop laughing

 

That’s still a great show. I watch it on Amazon prime with commercials.

 

We could iron out our differences over a cup of coffee. No butt-hurt here.

 

"You look like a good Joe."

(Also, this meme might actually be considered a diss if you know the whole context behind the scene. I just thought it was personally funny either way.)

 

I read on American real estate forums that some tenants were not paying rent but they got like $4,800 dollars per month in unemployment benefits. Is that true?

 

It may have been but that rent will come due after the crisis is over. The rent moratorium is not rent forgiveness. Meaning people that haven’t paid the rent have had the bills piling up for a while now. Also that unemployment expired back in July.
