Glad that's overwith

I was afraid it might go that way, because the tone of general agreement about... something?.... is hard to miss. You're wrong in your supposition that I know what you mean, but I respect your desire to avoid conflict. Thanks for taking a shot at it anyhow.

 

There is rural America and there is urban America. The metro areas of the East and West coast (where the big money is) have been charting the direction of the country for a very long time. They make all the rules from within the bubble they occupy and assume that what's right for them is right for everyone. Rural America has had enough of it and they believe that they found a vehicle in the president-elect to take the wheel and change that direction.

Someone is finally listening to us and we hope that it's not just more of the lip service that we've been getting from the political elites for the last 40 years. Time will tell.

 

Me too.

 

First off, I didn't read all of this thread. However, I live in PA and I did not vote for Trump. Before today, I worked under the assumption that my internet presence (social media and forum, etc.) should be apolitical, because that's what I want on social media, forums, etc. I want my social life and my political life to be separate. It's just cleaner that way.

Politically, I'm absolutely open to other's points of view and I welcome any and all opinions. After the recent election results, I have to reconsider my internet presence. In the end, EVERYTHING is political! For those who support the Republican party, CONGRATULATIONS! You now control the Executive and Legislative branches of the government. EVERYTHING, good and bad now ATTACHED TO YOU. The clock is ticking, you better show us some results! Oh, and I'm seriously pizzed off that you surreptitiously circumvented the CONSTITUTION that you so vehemently support,and will likely skew the Judicial branch for generations to come, by denying Merrick Garland, his CONSTITUTIONAL right to appointment to the Supreme Court by the standing president. Please include OBJECTIVE evidence to support denying MG his appointment with any response to this post.

To quote Eric Cartman, "It's on" You will be held responsible for everything.

 

I'm out. Peace.

 

Thanks, UncleJoe . It will surprise nobody that I disagree with almost everything Trump campaigned on. His rhetoric was openly hostile to people in my family, my friends, neighbors and people I work with -- people I love. But what I find most perplexing is that such a large fraction of voters apparently didn't mind Trump's steady firehose of dishonesty throughout his campaign. Trump voters surely knew they were being lied to, because they're not stupid, but they didn't mind. But it seems self-evident that lying as a modus operandi is mortally corrosive to anyone's ability to collaborate and solve problems. What could be worth that? Honesty and cooperation are not uniquely liberal, urban or coastal values, which is why I'm so especially troubled.

 

My tongue is seriously bleeding...I'm out but only because I have been here since the beginning and know what the FHC rules say but it's hard.

 

Yep
Lots of political forums out there if arguing politics is what you want to do

This is a good place to leave it

 

The FHC rules are a little difficult to make out, given that this thread was allowed to stand all day, but I know Scotty would rather not have to deal with this kind of thing. You're welcome to PM me if you feel like it.

 

Right there with ya brother. Peace y'all, I'm out...

 

I love my life and my country. I see a lot of people in the inner cities with terrible lives. I hope things can change for them. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a change.

 

Lies you say, dishonest you say..well that's funny chit right there being that the other choice has no idea what truth or honesty even mean, how about blood on there hands but I guess that's just a unfortunate cost of being at the wrong place at the wrong time . mabe just mabe folks should just read the constitution before they vote being you educated smarter than thow SOBS know everything. My guess is you have never read the constitution or you would have never opened your mouths . O an by the way I believe the lesser of two evils has ben chosen to run this Great country that men have spilled blood for to keep us free and allow, you know it alls the right to flap your gums. O and by the way feel free to replay. I won't be checking back on this post to even see what bogus bull chit you can come up with . Scotty l am sorry for disrespecting your rules and will except what ever you chose for my outburst..but some one had to..................
Peace out MFS and GFY
