Welcome to America

[PoppaJ]

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.

Thanks Nan.
I gladly pay school taxes because I don’t want to live in country full of illiterates.
I will gladly pay increased taxes to fund universal healthcare so I live in country full of healthy citizens.
Having two grandchildren with type 1 diabetes I also don’t want to live in a country where people ration their insulin to make ends meet. This isn’t sustainable and sounds un-American.
In Lou’s world if a person lost their home due to medical bills they would also lose their right to vote.
This also sounds un-American.
No, it is un-American.

Divorce is always messy. There is a better way hopefully...we ARE intelligent enough. It is those emotions like fear and anger that keeps us apart. That is what a two party political system does to us.

I agree a 2 party system does not work. Not enough good choices

 

[Lou Deman]

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

My statement clearly said 'I do not want civil war' you quote it and reply 'so you want civil war' you must be joking because you can't be that thick

 

[Lou Deman]

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

Let me know when and where, I guarantee your attitude will change but you would never have the stones to show

You changed it. Not really sure why you would even bring it up.

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...

Mput
How was I wrong about the loss of life?

You asked if I knew what Trump said about Pence, I asked which time, your reply is that my mind won't allow the truth, is this really how you guys process info?

The NE is only brash to people that didn't grow up there

I played a lot of sports as well.

Dolald Trump would tell you he works hard but in his mind he might think that. What is hard work to one person is not to another. I have worked hard my whole life but compared to someone that works really hard I'm sure my life would be considered easy. To answer your question I do not think Trump has ever worked a hard day in his life

Calling me foolish is your opinion and doesn't bother me at all

My opinion is the left can be foolish

Your last sentence is where it gets odd. I couldn't care less about Donald Trump anymore, he isn't the president and has no bearing on my life. The left is infatuated with him, you guys cannot let him go. It really is sick how bad the TDS is with almost everyone I know on the left. He lives in your mind all the time. You cannot bring up Biden without the left bringing up Trump. Hopefully you guys will get better soon

 

[Lou Deman]

You changed it. Not really sure why you would even bring it up.

I changed what?

 

[PoppaJ]

I changed what?

Do you have dementia?

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.

 

[PoppaJ]

Good news of the day.
The Manhattan DA has convened a SECOND, separate grand jury to hear evidence about Trump Org’s financial practices, & potentially to vote on more criminal charges, per WSJ. This GJ is expected to examine how Donald Trump’s company valued its assets, & more.

You actually did say, "I do want a civil war" BTW.
