President Joe Biden

I would guess he’s still mad that you told him he had exposed himself as not understanding the law when he is in fact a lawyer.

My assumption is you were jesting in good spirit. But then again I’ve spent enough time around white people who grew up with wealth, to understand that a lot of time when it feels like they are pissing on you they are often oblivious to it. So I always let this kind of stuff go.

@Grace T. if what @tenacious is saying here is true, I absolutely apologize for that.

Otherwise, if we're headed down the name calling path, that's probably my cue to do something better with my time. I know others do that here, but most of them I have muted. I've enjoyed the dialog with the folks I don't have muted :)

Yup. Crickets from the trumpanzees. Have the repercussions of their ongoing support of the Bronze Baboon finally sunk in with the socalsoccer sycophants? I mean other than Karen Grace, who still thinks this is the fault of some woman with whom she got into a fender bender, and Bill Clinton. Maybe also Cicero, but I still can’t figure out the link between Orange Julius and Julius Caeser.

That’s exactly what I’m saying (and not just worse but much nightmarish worst) and it would also be a tactical mistake away from important work the Biden admin needs to do. What we need now is the lowering of the temperature and statesmanship

This is akin to not reporting the neighborhood tough guys to the police for smashing up my kid's bike because of fear that they might smash up my car in retaliation.

Yah....watching extremists basically say, “Oh yah, we’ll watch this” with our businesses, livelihoods and basic fundamentals of our Government over the past 9 months has grown rather tiresome.

I work in entertainment, and so by default have a lot of very liberal friends on Facebook. A good friend of mine was just complaining that some fb post he made about sending in the National Guard to clean things up in during the riots got censored and he was warned about being on probation if he kept it up.

So I don't think it's just the right wing that's getting caught up in it, its the far lefties too. Neither side hears about it though, because what's happening to everyone else rarely pierces the partisan bubble.

Most people don’t whine and play the victim like the righties, squeaky wheels looking for the grease.
 
Is anyone else having problems accessing Parler? The app doesn’t seem to be working on my iPhone and it still doesn’t work when Iog in directly through their website?

Nah the one where Hunter Biden got a Burisma board position for no reason or experience, where he had business dealings with China despite the lack of experience, and where allusions were made by the Biden family that Joe Biden was involved and aware, including by their former business partner and the recovered laptop.

Where’s the laptop?

The woke purge

Twitter’s suspension of Donald Trump is a chilling sign of tyranny to come.

Pretty sensationalist, definitely stirring the pot and conclusions are pretty delusional. Given how heated people are, concluding that there is a "purge" coming and language like that is just dumping large logs on large fires.

Maybe some of this needs to be reframed, e.g. corporations give free accounts and platforms to people in exchange for their data. They have those people sign T&Cs (which they can change whenever they want and without anyone's permission). Nobody has a "right" to be on these platforms. Nobodies "rights" are being infringed if they decide to boot you off, if they can point to their T&Cs (which they can change whenever they want - and you agreed to that when you clicked "Agree").

If someone wants to be able to post what they want, when they want, if they want, then the technology is there to allow you to create that platform and applications ... but you may need to engage with a Corporate to do it ... and there will be T&Cs, so comply or don't.
 
I new poll from frontier says 71% of trump voters anticipate a new civil war. 40.% of Biden voters think that. The pollster ain’t one of the big ones but numbers are still startling

a few years back I had to get politically involved (I loathe being politically involved) when local govt threatened to shut down my sons schools. I ran into conflict with a lot of people on the left and right (including getting racist and bigoted stuff and surprisingly not all from the right). A lot of nastiness from both sides. I must say though I found the left more open about their nastiness...I appreciated the honesty. The right though was more capable of introspection and able to condemn behavior they thought was over the line...I didn’t see much of that from the left. Nothing on this thread btw disavows me of this belief. If we divide I’d find it hard to decide which way I’d go but at this point I’d sooner take my chances with the right than left.
 
Further escalations. The Ds are planning to bring censure resolutions against Gohmert, Brooks and Gaetz. Only 23 members have been censured in the history.

Poor analogy. This is your best friend next door went around tping the neighborhood a few months ago and you not only said nothing but you defended him. Then your neighbors cousin smashes up your kids bike, saying you deserved it because you are an asshat. Your neighbor comes over and apologizes for his cousin's behavior and offers to pay for the bike but you want your neighbor thrown out of the neighbor because he refuses to disavow his cousin strongly enough. You keep taunting your neighbor that his family is garbage, call the police on him and try to organize the rest of the neighborhood never to have anything to do with him.

The Dems are so escalatory, unlike magats who only incite coups and the overthrow of democracy. If things get worse when we come back “locked and loaded”, it’s Dems’ fault. They made us do it.

Here's the thing though- this is nothing but anecdotal. Every person on this board has left vs right story.

This is such an "If you can't beat em, join em" attitude to have. I'm actually surprised to see it coming from you.

I'd rather things settle down, Biden be a unifying president and us move on from the Trump mess. It doesn't seem like that's the choice given the now 3 escalations the Ds seem intent on pursuing.

My civil war clock is now at 6 after the events of this weekend. If it comes to that, I'm actually torn as to where I'd go...blue or red America. Lots of pros and cons both ways. I'm currently leaning red, though wouldn't be happy about it. Both sides need each other to balance the worst impulses of each. But the way things seem to be heading, it doesn't look like this marriage may be salvagable (and at least from the poll a substantial number of Americans seem to agree).
