We can all have different view points, and we can do our best to convince others our view point is correct. But at the end of the day we should be civilized enough to discuss in a respectful manner.



None of us is better than the other, that should be the base point of all our discussions.
This would be fine by me, except BCREDLINER has stated that what I posted in response to what he says Biden has done right is at least 75% false. I asked him to show me facts that they were wrong or false and all he's posted since then is being butt-hurt and misdirection to keep from answering.

I see where you're coming from. But frankly to give you that kind of exacting answer one would have to have access to serious intelligence and also have the analytical ability to process said intelligence.

Most of us are just average concerned citizens without access to these information.

We can only make educated guess based on what we see and read on the news media.

BC is one of the few people I see here who has that analytical ability. He can logically analyze the data that he acquires and give us good educated conclusions.

That and his heart comes from the right place.

That's all we can ask for, in a casual forum for public opinions.

I see EOD also has that analytical ability, not unlike BC. Perhaps with more access to intelligence data than most of us will ever peruse.

Keep the conversation going, without giving away sensitive info, obviously. We should welcome all exchange of ideas and opinions.

I purposely choose not to respond. It has nothing to do with not being able to provide documentation for the 75%.

You listed Biden's supposed accomplishments and I listed why they were wrong. You then said that my response to those Biden lies was 75% wrong, fake, whatever, so I asked you to clarify what was incorrect and you still haven't done so.

What this means when people read this is that your argument or justification was either posted by someone who can't make a cognizant argument supporting Biden or by someone who knowingly posted lies and doesn't want to acknowledge getting caught....

You are correct.

Ultra MAGA republicans are likely to agree with you. Feel better?

Sunny and 71 degrees, tomorrow 78 and Wednesday 81 where I am. Windows looking over the lake, Bald Eagle nest about 10 yards away from the window, can hear the loons in the evening, a bear walked across the grounds today. 1100 miles from Dallas, drove the X5M, got 17.4 MPH. Will be here for a month. Have a fishing guide booked for later this week. How are things your way?

Temperatures here are fine, nothing over 120f this week and nothing under 90f. Enjoy fishing, although I never cared much for areas around Wyoming since we used to do night jumps into Pole Mountain 30+ years ago.

120F would shutdown the electrical grid in Texas. I think the highest we have had in Texas is a feels like 112F. I mowed the lawn that day.

Trump spent $106,000 of donors contributions from his re-election fund on Melania's hair dresser. That doesn't seem right. $106,000 seems awfully high. This latest criminal charge associated with Georgia election is going to be a challenging one for Trump.

Never heard of makeup and hairstyling for events and public appearances in furtherance of a campaign....

PS. Even liberal scholars are saying these charges are shit and an extreme overreaching attempt to subvert the legal process.

Enjoy Wyoming!

My family's life was not better under Trump, or Biden. But if those two are put on the ticket again... Trump is getting my vote as the Democrats will be considered irredeemable in my opinion.

EOD, your list of Trump's accomplishments, while few had any affect on our personal situation (living in a South Texas "sanctuary" city) I would certainly consider more beneficial than Biden. Or maybe less damaging is a better way to put it. Thank you for posting it. The Democrats have been watching too many Disney movies and drinking too much Bud Light apparently. Can't get anything worthwhile done.

But, the Republican party is the other side of the same coin and both want the status quo to continue to further their own wealth and the wealth of their donors.

BTW, both Hunter and Trump should have been in jail long before either was anywhere near the White House. There is plenty of evidence against both and if there is any justice left in this country, both will end up behind bars.

Edit: Clarification. One Biden "accomplishment" that MIGHT benefit us is extending the energy tax credit. But, being that it's only a credit, it will only offset owed taxes. We are lower-middle class and don't make enough to have a tax liability at the end of the year (always "overpay" in paycheck) with deductions for the kids, etc. So this policy, while nice, does not help those who make less but still stretch their necks out to take the burden off our stretched thin grid. And we didn't do it to be "green" either... rather to save green. I had to do everything myself (did hire an electrician to check my work) because we were quoted a ridiculous $90k for our system. GTFOH. Anyway, I'm rambling, my point is, like most policy... it is designed to help the wealthy keep more of their money. Even CPS and SAWS credits work the same way. If you don't have a licensed pro come in and install for you, you don't qualify. Even though we've cut our energy consumption by 30-50%, depending on weather, we get f*cked.

The reason it MIGHT benefit us is that I have been betting on a stock that, should it pay off, could incur some decent capital gains taxes. Never thought I'd be rooting FOR more taxes...
