To see him and his supporters now crying about the harsh treatment he's earned in return is pathetic, but also predictable. No one has ever failed upward quite like this man has.
Aren't your arms tired yet, human pedestals?

Your tears taste good.

The real "real heart of the problem" is you never got over the fact that he won.
Aren't your eyes tired yet, from crying?

I'm not sure why you keep beating that drum.

Surely, you mean trashcan lid?
Anyway, I answered above as to why the raw vote total did matter, as much as many try to say it did not.
The President's job is to unite the country, or to at least try.

But for you, a supporter of a team known to have cheated its way to success, use a baseball metaphor to defend Trump, another known and constant cheater, is particularly rich.

Glad to see you're feeling like yourself again after a rough weekend.

And the Republican overlords did not lose. They merely shifted their support to Trump. Otherwise, people like McConnell wouldn't still be in office.

Make no mistake, the Republican overlords lost in a big way. President Trump is the last person they wanted to win. The establishment lost but you are correct that they are not powerless. McConnell is swampy as they get. I wish I could snap my fingers and he would be gone but unfortunately it does not work that way.

Youre arguing that one side was morally superior to the other, I'm trying to gather how similar the weights of oppression are.

I wasn't aware that it was happening to the left as well. Sorry that is the case. Are there instances of physical violence against Biden supporters? Or is that still reserved for Trump supporters?

I don't worry about one on one confrontations, as those are random idiots that can be dealt with. It's the mobs that attack that I am more concerned about.

There's oppression?

If not I think we have a groundbreaking case here.

Beta rage? Are you calling yourself a beta?
What a confusing day we’re having.

Jdandns calling people “Human pedestals”
Any objective person has to recognize that as a hilarious dig.

[Zedlaw]

People have died over enforcing mask wearing. Basically a proxy war against Biden's party.

!

“Elections have consequences” was very uniting, right? The left never complained about President Obama being so divisive. They never complained when he disparaged half the country as clinging to their guns and religion. How was that uniting the country when he shoved Obamacare down our throats?

The real problem with compromising with the left is that as soon as you do it, they start making the next demand. Just look at abortion. We’ve gone from safe and rare to it’s a woman’s right to kill the baby all the way up to the moment of birth.

Tea Party protesting was morally superior to the Antifa and BLM rioting, looting, violence and destruction.

To me, banning guns is like banning drugs. People will always find some way to do what they are trying to do so solving the "why" to me is more important than the "how."

Excellent post.

I love guns and have plenty of them. But mental health is the problem with gun violence in this country. We need to work on that.

Jojo going deep into second grade with the “I’m rubber you’re glue” defense.

You are the beta Jojo. I know this isn’t the first time in your life you’ve been told that. It’s the only logical explanation when you see the word “cycling”, an aerobic sport and lash out with “rapid rage” an anaerobic booster. Something got triggered, this after scouring the depth of academic psychology I introduce the term “beta rage” and give you a new mascot. The angry betta fish.

It’s sad that everything must be spelled out for you while you play the role of Mr Vague.

The president's job is to fight for the platform that got them elected, and govern in a way that gets them or their party reelected.

Trump's done very well on the first point, not so hot on the second.

Since this is a sports message board, I will try to explain it in spots terms for you since you see, confused.

Baseball-you don't win if you have the most hits, you win if you score the most runs.

Football-more yards less points is a recipe for losses.

Hockey-shots on goal? Or actual goals?

Basketball-field goal percentage or most points?

You'll catch on. Maybe.

He has been terrible at this. Although he never could have accomplished it no matter what he did. Even if he spoke like McCain in that video a couple pages back ever single time, nothing would have helped his cause.

Thats not the argument. How similar were the weights of oppression? There's DACA recipients fighting for their literal homes and families.

Literally the first time I've heard that, but I know Trump tries to convince all his minions they are strong Alphas and that the opponents are weak Betas. I'm still baffled that kind of childish psychology works on grown men. Must be a lack of self-confidence growing up.

There are multiple usages of the word cycling Mr. Masters in P.E.

How do past results help us predict future outcomes? Most would argue there's way better metrics than who scored the most points/goals/runs.

??

There is a certain amount of liberals that were going to hate him if he pursued the policies that won him the election. Nothing to do about that. It looks like he will get more votes from blacks and Latinos than in 2016, so he is doing something right. Anti-war Americans should support President Trump but they went into hibernation when the Neocons got their hooks into Obama and Biden have mostly disappeared since Trump rejected the Neocons.

I guess cycling and mileage together were too hard a riddle to crack.

Which explains why you continue to infer I’m a Trumper. Given your initial swing and miss on profiling me, I figured you would have reassessed your abilities. Instead you just keep swinging.

Your not an opponent. Simply a nuisance. Our conversations thus far have proven that point very well.

Anyone who is so triggers someone else exercising means “rood rage” did the convincing for me, irrespective of what I am. I don’t know too may Alphas that prefer cycling and yoga over strength training, but to each their own.

Are you arguing that it is morally acceptable for rioting and violence by and for foreigners we won’t give citizenship?
