Welcome to America

1 protestor died as a direct result of the Jan 6th protest, you may be able to argue 1 policeman as well if you stretch

Trump's mind cannot allow him to think he lost

Trump has said a lot of things about Pence, let me know which one you are talking about and I will weigh in if I have an opinion

You and I could sit down and talk about anything but we should talk about politics because that is where the disconnect in our society is. I used to share a wall with an architect in an office over on 393. This guy is a great human being. He is a die hard democrat. I hated his politics but loved his passion and how knowledgeable he was with his views. When we would sit down and talk about life we both wanted the exact same things, our politics is what made the path for getting there different. He wanted everyone to throw in for the greater good where as I am more of a people should take care of themselves. Neither was right neither was wrong but there was always respect. I miss those conversations but I had to move our office out onto 30A to be closer to the traffic. My door is always open and my lunch offer always stands

I guess you were incorrect about the lost human life from the insurrection. Yes I could argue there were many deaths but your mind might not allow it. If you do not know how Trump feels about Pence and what he said about Pence then your mind might not allow the truth. I do not mind talking about Politics until we go down the rabbit holes of politics. I am more like your architect neighbor from experience but I started my life out like your beliefs. We do not have to disconnect because of politics. Why? Because we DON'T!

You may think you know Trump because you are from the brash NE. Well I am from North Central Florida. I played football in high school. Doctors tell me I have 3 old spinal fractures but I never stopped playing football or anything else. I grew up on a tobacco farm. I hate the product because it made us sick as a dog every night. My mom would put out a wash tub at night for us to throw up into yet we were up at 3:00 the next morning to unload a barn so we could load it back again during the day. Life was hard as hell. Do you think Donald Trump even knows what hard work is? He never had a football coach to tell him about that BS loser analogy of yours. Your perception of Donald Trump is unbelievably foolish. You keep insinuating that the "left" as foolish so all is fair in love and war right? Listen this whole political mess we are in is BS. Stop letting those foolish beliefs that Trump has some entitlement to his poor character affect your good judgement...

If I wanted to really kick the hornets nest I would talk about my beliefs that people who don't own land shouldn't be allowed to vote because they don't have real skin in the game. This should be fun

You finally reveal your true self..

Hearsay isn't generally admissable in court, but it can be. I'm most certain here say isn't a thing.

Let me be very clear I do want a civil war but I fear we are not going to be intelligent enough to get over ourselves. We are at a point where communication has shut down (for the most part), when this happens divorce comes next.

So you want a civil war. Well if enough of you fascist traitors want one there’s a good chance you’ll get one.

I too am tired of hearing about the fear of Socialism. What do you think is going to happen with social programs...will you choke to death before you will share what you earned with someone you deem undeserving?

Keyrice, there already are communities where citizens are exempt from paying school taxes because they don't have kids in school ... is that what you want? A country of "It's not my job, man." We all benefit when we all thrive, even cue tips like me with no kids in school can appreciate a community where I help subsidize the schools thru taxes and the young go on to good jobs or college and stay in or return to the community to maintain and improve it.

I've said many times on this forum, as Einnadica did before he passed, introducing new and or expanding existing social programs is not an undeserving me taking $50 from the $100 in your pocket so we both have an even amount of money, it's about the health and welfare of people and the communities in which we live. Socialism with or without the capital letter includes police, fire and enforcement activities; schools and school-sponsored programs in the arts and athletics; maintained roads, bridges, traffic lights, waterways, electric grids, parks, recreational opps; ambulance and early warning/emergency management services; services for people with challenges including correctional institutions, public hospitals, blind and deaf services, 9-1-1... I, and I know You, if you stop to think, can go on and on. Please stop disagreeing just to disagree and think about all we have and what we could and should do as humans to help other humans. Call me simple but it's curated.

I would consider lunch with this bozo to be a form of collusion.

To expand on what Nan said, imagine what are current worker shortage would look like if we had universal child care; so mother's wouldn't opt to stay home because it's cheaper for their spouse to work two jobs rather than pay for childcare. It would allow both to work and the second parental unit to have more time with the child(ren) which leads to better adjusted kids.
