  1. You say that, but it's hilarious because one person's irrefutable evidence is clearly another's #fakenews. All the proof has been put in here a thousand times, but the left immediately discounts any "proof" as BS and the right calls it "fake news" on the other side of that coin. You proved it simply by replying. Everyone is so convinced of their own infallibility no one's ever going to give any credence to the other side... We're all just on opposite sides of opinions. No issues in particular. Everything from social injustice to fiscal discipline in here seems to be covered by educated people. If you're able to get past some people's (both sides) smug attitude of thinking they're the only one in here that knows anything, there's actually a lot to be learned. Maybe I'm just the only idiot on BO.net that doesn't know everything. Meh... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Man, the hypocrisy on both sides is disgusting! You guys crying about unfair coverage kill me. Simply depends on who's in power at the time. Suddenly, everything about Biden is verified and true, but when equal sources in similar positions, and people who literally just worked for Trump talk about his shadiness you guys just say #fakenews. Gross pot calling the kettle black here. Let's just keep the discussion to what policy should be. I actually learn from people on here when they put forth well thought out ideas and articulate messages vs the constant defense of their side in spite of gross evidence damning both sides...

  5. We need a reset button. By no means advocating revolution, it would just be awesome to fire every single elected official at the federal level, so people understand their job security isn't so secure, and then elect people that understand what their job is: make the country work well. That's not so much to ask, right? Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You’re hilarious my friend... The equivalent to this for the right would be me going out and posting a video of some militia, or white power group. Do better. No one’s arguing the nut jobs on either side of the aisle aren’t exactly that, nut jobs... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I get where you’re coming from, but it’s pretty hard to argue that Trump hasn’t turned things up to 11 in every facet. Zero effort to unify. He has strictly and only ever played to his base. Trump may not have started it, go back to Clinton turn the dial up a bit, then Bush a bit more, then Obama even more, then wham, Trump came in and asked, “How far can I turn this dial?” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. https://apple.news/A1vFDoROfTw67ktJ6TCgOhw I get it, NBC is horribly biased, and I’d even agree with you on that, but read the words, the direct quote from this GOP senator. This is the danger of a Trump presidency. Trump is the guy, over the last 4 years, who has driven this country further left. Supporting this narcissist’s behavior, I fear, will ultimately play a huge part in the downfall of this country if we don’t figure a way to come back to center on many issues. Totally agree with above posts about the economy and its mismanagement needing to remain the focal point of discussion. Problem is, Trump has been so incredibly polarizing that it’s impossible to do that. He bares most of the blame for that because he can’t stay focused for longer than 2” on anything substantial. He has allowed elements of the left to take the discussion away from where it belongs because he does/says stupid things. Dude literally retweeted the Bee (think Onion type satire) because it supports his narrative... Come on! My fear is that all of you who have thrown your support behind this guy for so long are just contributing to a growing divide. Instead of standing up to the crazy crap he says/does while supporting the policies you like, this country has enabled him to keep distracting from the important issues. Don’t get me wrong, I feel the left holds a lot of the responsibility for this as well, but he’s the big kid in the room, people are gonna follow his lead... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. I can buy some of your first paragraph. Second one sounds like a bunch of Fox News tinfoil hat crap. Thankfully neither the nuts on the left or the nuts on the right truly run the show. One side would have us living in the 1950s era US "back in the good old days" (for white dudes) and the other side would have us referring to everyone as some weird non gender specific pronoun...

  10. You know, we all recognize that our infrastructure needs a major overhaul, healthcare sucks, etc... People ask how to pay for it, but no one's willing to fork out another dime in taxes. "Fix my problems, just do it without my money" is the mantra. Republicans have done such a bangup job fixing these things so far, how do you recommend we do it without tax raises? D's or R's are unwilling to get rid of waste in spending, so what's the alternative? Honest question from a hater of both parties. I'd be willing to pay a higher tax to fix our country, but again, not guarantee it also won't get wasted... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. Please tell me why? You want officers that believe everything they see simply because it supports their narrative? I genuinely do not. If he's being sarcastic, it didn't shine through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Go read the Snopes article. It's fake, but if you got it from your Reddit thread about #liberalidiots, then go right ahead and take it as gospel truth. Please tell me you're not an officer with that level of gullibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hilarious! Comedians are great, and anyone wanting to"cancel" needs to watch Seinfeld's comedians in cars show# Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/toilet-licking-trump-protest/ You should definitely believe everything you see on the internet... Well done, but you keep believing everything that makes you feel good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. If all this is true, you’re right, it’s a disgusting abuse and she should be punished. However, did you read the rest of your own post? Do any of you Trump fans read the stuff you write when you talk about how different it would be if it had happened under a Republican watch? Have you guys just been living under a rock because it is literally 24/7 anytime any of these bozos do anything, and the other side immediately makes the same ridiculous claim you just did: the other side wouldn’t put up with it, and they would cry foul! Does it ever get tiring ignoring the faults of your own party? That goes for both Ds and Rs. That crap is why we’re going to be hard pressed to heal the divide in this country. No one ever does anything wrong in their own eyes even when they’re doing the same crap as the other team. They just call it by a different name and then it’s ok... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. You forgot that they will also say the onus is on you to prove the science... Lazy way to get out of looking anything up. For what? Is it some moral principle of debate they're adhering to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. So I'm curious what slippery slope took you to "North Korea/Stalinist Russia". These conversations are incredibly beneficial until some falls prey to emotion and hyperbole. Plenty of guilt on both sides... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Again, let me say, this debate was ridiculous and both performed horribly, or probably failed to move the needle for anyone. Even Bernie Sanders, on Jimmy Kimmel, said it wasn’t a good night for America. I am too lazy to go back and find it, but one of the Trump fans said they liked his answers on climate change. I let it go at the time because I wanted more people to answer, but I would like to hear some reasons now for that specific callout. What about “we have to do whatever it takes to have ‘immaculate air and water” makes any sense or squares with any actions/policies coming out of this administration? That’s basically what he said, I summarized. Not only do the actions of his administration scream the exact opposite, but those words don’t lay out anything in terms of policy/future actions. So, are you just saying you’re happy with his answers because you feel climate change (something the DoD continues to list as one of the biggest threats to National Security) isn’t real, or did I miss something more specific when the two old guys were yelling at each other. Maybe Chris Wallace or Joe Biden spoke over him... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Is it #fakenews that P/FLOTUS have tested positive? Sheesh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Tapatalk is being weird. Can't get it to post normal. I laugh so hard when people wanting to be taken seriously say fake news.
  22. While I agree with what has been said here, that there was no clear winner, I’m not sure how you get to your conclusion about Biden. I saw a man, incredibly frustrated at the childish interruptions of a man who really pointed at zero concrete policies all throughout the debate. If I were talking with a person who wouldn’t shut up, ever, I would have been just as frustrated. Biden did stoop to his level at times, but usually when provoked. I’m no Biden apologist, I think he sucks as a politician, but he sure as heck came across as more human last night. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. This is absolutely true, but I am genuinely curious what the Trump camp thinks. I don’t think Biden was particularly amazing by any means, but he sure as heck showed more restraint than Trump. He didn’t tell the Proud Boys to “stand by” (I’m actually giving Trump the benefit of the doubt that he misspoke, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s actually what he meant), and in general, Biden absolutely did not look like an individual with dementia. Maybe it was his performance enhancing drugs... haha. So, lousy all around, but one of these individuals is the actual, POTUS... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. No coincidence, just politicians proving how low they can stoop. No surprises on either side. More proof the tax system is busted is all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. You win. My bad. I'm not sure what you're looking for here. We'll have to agree to disagree on hilarious humor going forward. Other comments he's made don't really make it feel as if he was joking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
