No, Trump is the FIRST AND ONLY US President
To demand such unfettered, unwavering, and uninterrupted fealty!
Sieg Heil!
Hail Caesar!
(More to the point, Reagan was famous for his political wrangling with then-Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil... they pretty much ran the country... if one or the other didn't want it, it didn't happen!
1 a Democrat, the other a Republican... and compromise was the word of the day (for all 8 years of Reagan's term)
@raphjd said in FL Judge declares masks unconstitutional.:
That's good news, i hope more cases happen.
Have you not paid any attention to the past 40-years of lunacy coming from Florida? Have you never rolled your eyes when you heard a news story started with "A Florida Man"?
I swear, we (I live here, in Florida) looked at California (at the time, known as "the land of fruits and nuts") and thought: we can be crazier than that!
We even make fun of ourselves: in many local news stations here there is a regular segment called "What the Florida?" just for highlighting the twilight-zone-inspired stories from our wacked-out State.

Go back to sniffing Pelosi's panties.
Can you imagine what all that formaldehyde would do to your sinuses?
Sigh - you continue to refer to your cause as Conservatism - even though you were never a Conservative before Trump, and Trumpsim is far more Authoritarian and Fascist than actual Conservatism.
If there's a RINO in this room, it's the ca. 2016 convert, not the one with a 30-year history in the party.
LOL, you are a clown.
You are the fake as fuck conservative who voted for the true Authoritarian and Fascist when you pulled the lever for racist, homophobic, dirty as fuck Honest Joe.
You, idiots, have no clue what words mean, you just babble the buzz words you hear on CNN.
Your own words over the last few months have shown that you have a very 1984 version of "conservative libertarianism". Every time you post something, I automatically think of the Pink Floyd video for Another Brick in the Wall with the faceless kids marching in unison. That vision of the US is something you and the DNC share.
If you knew what you were talking about (and you clearly do not), you would know that you're referring to "Reagan Republicanism" - and your contention that the DNC is equivalent to Reagan Republicanism is laughable.
I don't need to reply further - your own demonstration of a total lack of knowledge or perspective is sufficient...
@raphjd said in I love Infowars and Donald Trump, and I'm Gay.:
Of course, you liberals have an en-mass case of extreme TDS.
Let's not forget, your guy, Honest Joe, said that "you ain't black" if you don't suck his balls.
You can't live in a world where Biden sucks (he does, and I've said so in some pretty lengthy posts!) - and that Trump sucks too! (But Trump sucks worse!)
In your dystopian image of a world, not being Trumpist is equivalent to being a liberal democrat.
I don't live in that world... in my world, they both suck, and I'm looking forward to continuing the new Trump-established pattern of 1-term presidents!
@raphjd said in Google's Head of Diversity - Oh My!!!:
Equity, not Equality
Absolute proof you are a liberal.
I am a realist! The belief that absolute equality is possible is, in fact, a LIBERAL one!
More proof that you're the fake conservative, wrapping himself in a Trump blanket...

@bi4smooth Oh please. Nobody is telling trans people that they don't have the right to transition and then seek out whatever makes them happy. Nobody is saying that.
Oh, but you (and @raphjd) want to be the arbiters of who is "really" trans and who is, I'm guessing, faking it?
I listed prime examples of Trans-Trenders.
Wearing a tight tank top and a bit of makeup, demanding that lesbians suck your cock doesn't make you trans.
Wearing boys' underwear under your girlie outfits doesn't make you trans.
Claiming to be a trans boy who identifies as a CIS girl means you were always just a cis girl you needed to feel special.
Real trans people just want to live their lives.
What you label as trans are nothing but attention whores.
I don't label anyone as Trans - and that's the point!
What if, because you don't have a bf right now, I called you a "fake gay"? (I don't know anything about your actual personal life - this is just a parable)
The point isn't whether I say you're gay, or bi, or trans... the point is that
If someone say's they're Trans, then they're Trans! You have no business applying a litmus test!
Am I gay? (I was with me ex-fiance! - and currently I am with my new BF)
Am I straight? (I was with my ex-wife)
Am I bi? (I've had successful relationships with men and women, tho never at the same time... and when I created this account (more than 10 years ago), I identified as bisexual)
Truth is, when I was in college I self-identified as "omni-sexual"
A few years after college, in the late 80's, I self-identified as "pan-sexual"
I got tired of explaining what that meant, so I used the term "bisexual" as a stand-in...
It remains that I'm sexually attracted to people, not parts. That's pansexual. But you cannot change your name here without losing all of your history... not doing that....
@raphjd said in AZ Lawmaker tells Garland that he BETTER NOT touch AZ ballots.:
We discussed that there was an election that was completely thrown out due to fraud, but they kept the Presidential election results. It was in NJ, from memory.
You gave us some crack-headed mental gymnastics to justify the "logic" behind that.
Likewise, you gave us the same sort of "logic" to justify the about a dozen Dems who fought the election results, while slagging off Trump.
So, that's different:
But most importantly: the fraud here was pretty easily caught... that there are people who ATTEMPT to vote fraudulently is not news... Trump isn't just making the claim that there were millions of fraudulent ballots - but that they were so sophisticated that they were undetected (in spite of large numbers of ballots around the country that were thrown out in the original election counting - because the fraud detection efforts of Elections Supervisors around the country largely worked.)
I reiterate: the only significant loss by Republicans in 2020 was Trump - and it's his own fault! In his hubris, he made it a referendum on him - PERSONALLY! Not a referendum on Republican policies - which, around the country - in state after state - WON THE DAY!
@manhandler said in Liberals love "whataboutisms" unless the other side does it:
@bi4smooth Joe Biden sucks.
No argument there. Still better than Trump tho... can't they BOTH be awful?
@manhandler said in US Supreme Court Rejects anti-sexism Draft case:
@bi4smooth Oh please. Raph said a very basic thing and you made it sound like the KKK. Ridiculous.
It is beyond ridiculous to accuse women in the US military of wanting to avoid combat... they have LITERALLY fought for DECADES for the right to do so!
Ours is a VOLUNTEER force - not one woman in the armed forces is there because they were forced to be there... they volunteered to be there - and NOT to avoid actual military service - DOH!
Oh, and I didn't object to @raphjd's comment about feminists, I objected to @lololulu19's suggestion that cowardice-through-pregnancy was something that needed to be "investigated'...
@manhandler said in FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm - the science doesn't matter:
@bi4smooth It's not really a joke though... is it?
I think you should consider Prochlorperazine - a leading drug in the treatment of Paranoid Schizophrenia ... but, then again, I'm not a Doctor (and neither are you).
I have as much business diagnosing your mental illness as you do anyone else - including Biden...
But dude, seriously consider your proposition: IF Pres Biden had Azaheimer's, eventually (very soon) Kamala Harris would become President! Do you think that would be BETTER
Stick with the compliment on the joke...
@lololulu19 said in FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm - the science doesn't matter:
Biden is hoping that they have an Alzheimer's drug that will work for him!
ROFL - I appreciate a good joke 
@lololulu19 said in US Supreme Court Rejects anti-sexism Draft case:
@raphjd someone needs to do a study of how many women in the military become pregnant whenever a war breaks out. They want to be in the military... EXCEPT when there is actual fighting going on.
One of my daughters serves in the US Army - to claim that women in uniform are not willing or able to fight - in battle - is ludicrous and shows an extreme lack of knowledge on your part. You're pathetic.
@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:
@bi4smooth Hah! And what I'm talking about is true, regardless of your personal feelings. Infowars is HUGE.
I think your definition of "huge" is different from mine...
@jsl76 said in Liberals love "whataboutisms" unless the other side does it:
Same logic goes for things like confirming SCOTUS nominees and nuking the filibusters -- a moral imperative when the Left is in power, and a Threat to Democracy
when the Right does it.
Hypocrisy in Washington is as difficult to find as water in the Atlantic. But it is not the exclusive realm of Dems or Republicans...
@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:
@bi4smooth Yea? What's more offensive than this Joe Biden speaking the n word on tv? Or Hillary with her charity? Taking 90% for admin fees?
I don't defend Biden (nor Hillary) - but just what the f**k does this have to do with the rest of the conversation?
Look - if you'll re-read my comments, I think you'll find a common thread. I don't defend Democrats, I attack specious arguments based on conspiracy theories, and blatant lies. Sometimes I take the time to make it clear, sometimes not. C'est la vie.

Russian disinformation analyst, comfortably seated in a basement somewhere in the Moscow suburbs.At least the Muscovite trolls can be comfortable in their basement; were they in the US, they'd be surrounded by cannibalistic pedophiles.
If the Democrat leadership is full of cannibalistic pedophiles, where are the multitudes of outraged parents whose children have gone missing?
I'm sorry - Democrats are (in general) pie-in-the-sky idealists, always sure of their moral superiority and surety that they know better than everyone else... They often cannot see the forest for the trees... but they're not evil and they're not (in general) cannibals or pedophiles (tho I wouldn't be surprised of there were some pedophiles on Capitol Hill... tho not likely more on the Democrat side than the Republican side... those sick bastards infiltrate the halls of power on both sides of the aisle.)
@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:
@bi4smooth You are clear. Let's see. You are anti-Trump, "Republican", and what else? Is there anything beyond that? Seems like you define yourself by where you stand with Trump.
Hmmm... and the restroom attendant at the hotel thinks all you ever do is pee and poop...
Did it ever occur to you that the only posts of mine you read are the ones in Politics? Or that 90%+ of my comments are responses to absurd or offensive Trumpite claims....
@eobox91103 said in "political" discussions in comments:
Thank you for your thoughtful posting.
@higgs said in "political" discussions in comments:
Recently, a thread was removed from a post because it had become the focus of "political" comments to do with a major geopolitical conflict.
I am curious what that post said. Perhaps you could describe in in "neutral terms" (whatever that means).
The moderator who removed the posts did so on the grounds that "this is a positive community."
This sounds out of character with the only forum moderator I'm aware of, who is filled with negativity, and when called out for a specious argument resorts to caustic insults of other forum participants. There are a couple of other minions/trolls who do the same thing with impunity.
I can see the point of discouraging disruptive or bad-tempered comments (I think the thread concerned was neither of these things).
I fully agree, although their are many toxic comments permitted here.
At the very least, much more clarity is needed about what is and is not acceptable.
I would like to see that, too. Perhaps someone can provide some intelligent clarity here, without resorting to insulting either of us.
You are conflating the Torrent side of the site (which is non-political - and it's in the rules), and the Forum side of the site - which actually has separate staffers (more than one)...
However, even the Forum side has rules that require political discussions to take place in the Politics section - so that people who don't want to read it don't have to!
@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:
@bi4smooth What's more impressive is your chameleon behavior. You are too afraid to come out and say what you really mean yet. We get it.
Chameleon... I don't know, I think I've been pretty clear...
For the record, the new mantra of Trumpites being focused on the inflation numbers is something I've been talking about for 2-months now...
Welcome to the Party - you're late.
@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:
@jsl76 Silence Worm! The audit was completed today, we'll see what they have to report. You acting like you have some kind of premonition or foreknowledge of what they found is stupid and dumb. Especially when you haven't been keeping up with it from the beginning.
You think we don't already know their "findings"?
What's the big surprise?
Let's do another prediction: later this month, the Boston Red Sox are going to play the Tampa Bay Rays in baseball... I'm betting the Mayor of Boston will cheer for the Red Sox!
My prognostication is impressive, no?
