Yes, yes I do. The big orange turd is an ex-president. C'mon - did you read my post and let it sink in? Even in 4th grade, we knew the difference between the current president and an ex-one.

Hey Art: I follow your posts, always appreciate your input... But you must obviously know that it is kind of weird when you make a post about predicting the future. It makes you appear to be a far right-wing nut job type. Something I don't think you are. Calling our current president names also seems like something that would be beneath you. Respect the office if not the man. And, at very least, wait until he is out of office. I believe I first learned that in 4th grade. Solid wisdom.

Listening for you admitting Trump is a halfwit... but just hearing crickets.

This is interesting - it appears I'm essentially debating with ChatGPT... I guess it was only a matter of time before AI took over for lack of human intelligence. It did not take long for us to see a genuine example. So disappointing. "Slope issue" was the key? Have you ever been to Iowa or Southern MN? Try looking for some slopes. Be careful when believing what ChatGPT produces, it is only as good as the internet crap that it scraped and regurgitated. It is woefully wrong much of the time right now - the only scary thing is that it will get better. I was just a little kid in the early 80's, so I saw it from my school bus. From 7a-ish for about an hour, we drove around and picked up all the other farm kids. No crops in any of their fields. Didn't think anything of it at the time - acreage in CRP and other government programs, PIK and what not. They made more money not farming than they would have made farming - sometimes a lot more. I'm almost ready to release the joke I promised earlier. But... the mood still seems grim. I'll hold off.

Imagine if those using guns to commit crimes in WA were using semi-auto's with larger magazines on a widespread basis. Even uglier. Good thing WA is coming to their senses. It's not the guns that are causing the crimes - it's the anger, the hate, and the indifference. But, make no mistake, having guns that can kill faster and more efficiently considerably worsens the situation. Tightening that up doesn't hurt a thing.

Except you're missing the most important point. News used to be presenting information that had been vetted and verified. Being critical of sources in order to provide correct news was extremely important. If you wanted to continue to have a career in News - it was critical that you could document your sources and trust only the highest quality sources. If you're OK with random people posting random links to random sites and selling them to us as actual news... then you're not alone. One of you is born every minute. The real problem is that the further we go down this road, the more difficult it will be to get back to any scenario where News can become legitimate and trustworthy again. It has zero to do with political sides. If you don't see what we're in the process of losing, then ... I can only ask that you look again.

I have no idea what "guys" or "game" you are referring to - or what you think is racist (or not.) And I don't really care.

F'ing Russki's - crooked as fishhooks

He sort of tried - which was cool. Much of it is available on the wayback machine, too. It's a hit or miss type deal - which is OK. At the end of the day, it's always better to look ahead than behind.

Good thing the country has been focusing on relaxing the gun laws for the last few years. More guns in society. That's what has been the focus. (Like it or not, pick a side, but it's the simple truth.)

All of us here - at one time or another - complain about politicians not being honest. We want our politicians to be honest! We demand it! Yet... many of us can't even be honest here. On a little wrestling BBS that mostly nobody notices. Just maybe be honest here once.

Are you 100% sure you're not a politician? Farmers put their land in CRP because it was more profitable than growing crops. This is well known in the Midwest. Who are you trying to fool?

The problem is getting past you continuing to use political BS to evade a simple answer. Just say it - is Trump the halfwit we're talking about? Just say it. The thread leads here. Now be honest.

In my childhood years, we had newspapers to read the news. And news stations to watch on TV. Credible sources spreading credible information. The position of editor either on print or on TV was a position of respect - and, more importantly, it was one of responsibility. If an editor was wrong, it was very serious. Career killing serious. Now it's just some random guy posting some random stuff. Then another random guy linking the random stuff. When are we going to wake up and realize we're going downhill?

Cool - that is desirable in a stuffed animal.

Agreed. You're right. Trump is not sharp. He's a halfwit on his best day.

Herschel Walker? Telling Herschel Walker would be the equivalent of telling a stuffed animal.

The above, underlined and in bold, is exactly the way BS politicians speak. Are you saying that YOU think Trump is not sharp?

Wrong guy. I didn't say that - and am not particularly interested in that discussion. That's a thing for you and Ban to settle. He's got his own gig going. (But it is noteworthy that you posted "not as sharp as Trump" - which does kind of imply you believe Trump is at least a little bit sharp. Just sayin')

Weird that I was the one who was previously accused of not actually growing up on a farm.

Well known program - CRP. Not a state program, federal. Farmers all over got paid to stop producing crops. There is a decent joke that goes along with this, but I'm going to hold back on that - comedy is a bit about timing. Not Biden, it was around in the 80's

I believe this post - the 8th post in the thread - is the post in question. Just trying to help. (Don't hate the messenger!)

Didn't mean to kill the thread. Feel free to go on...

Meh... you kind of did.

OP is silly, the takeaway is that... R's vs D's in wrestling isn't a thing - R's & D's get along just fine in wrestling.
