  1. Do you care about the below? Equivocate all you want about the events on 1/6 and the protests in the summer of 2020, but Trump spent 3 months trying to steal an election that he lost, was told that he lost, and knew that he lost. This is lifted directly from Judge David Carter's opinion in the Eastman case.
  2. Damn man, here we are trying to have a conversation about electric cars and you keep wanting to talk about sucking cock and taking it up the ass. We have other boards where that sort of talk is welcome.
  3. I've cancelled my NY Times and LA Times subs, removed Instagram and reddit my my phone. My profile on this site is all I've really got left and I removed my auto login on my phone as well. Have to do a bit of work to get back on. My goal is to stop by this site maybe 1-2 times a day. I got rid of the newspapers before the election, and the social media after. There is no doubt that Trump and co. are a threat to the nation. But I've done this before. I spent 2016-2020 doom scrolling. Every day was a new "BREAKING" news story in which Trump had broken some norm, betrayed an ally, or broken the law. And what did I do with all of that info? Nothing. Didn't motivate me to volunteer, didn't become politically engaged. I just internalized it and it would impact my day-to-do. Part of it was always thinking the "next" scandal would finally wake up my old friends, classic conservatives, and the body politic. Then the resulting frustration and disbelief that none of it mattered. I actually found the 2020 election perhaps the most demoralizing of them all. I was certain that after 4 years of Trump we'd see a collective repudiation. Nope. Election wasn't called for a couple of days due the margins in the swing states. That's what did it for me. I gave up any and all hope that our future is a place I want to be a part of. This most recent election was more a confirmation of my fears than a surprise. In a weird way, giving up hope has been freeing. Its only been a week since the election, but despite the turn for the worse in the news, I've had a lovely week. My phone pretty much stays in my pocket unless I'm texting or calling someone. Started carrying my Kindle with me again. Would recommend. So anyways, I'm done. Done reading the news. Done paying attention. I've lived in a foreign country that was, at the time, ruled by an autocratic dictator. Did I spend my days thinking about the erosions of the rule of law or the dissidents that were being tortured and killed? Nope. Just went about my day. Enjoyed life. I can certainly do the same here. So, burn it down. Or don't. Whatever.
  4. looks like someone's mid-way through their first semester of college! congrats
  5. giving money to liberals is anti-liberal?
  6. why not? You seem to be speaking for Jesus.
  7. Johnny Sack: Voters have rejected Lawfare! But now that they've rejected it, we're gonna do it to you, but even harder! Running on a platform of prosecuting your political enemies is bad! Unless its Donald Trump, which I guess is ok! Racism is bad! Unless I do it and then i have to get a new username!
  8. In CA, all we hear about is how mean Democrats are to Billionaires.
  9. Same. Got home from work and just finished the last thread. But I also then got super high so I'm getting lost in links and forgetting to come back here
  10. Shit guys, looks like we've lost Maine
  11. not eating babies not having a one world order not having after-birth abortions on demand
  12. I see that @Stros121 checked in for a drive by neg. Good to see you. Did you ever get around to reading that judicial opinion I posted, describing in detail Trump's months long effort to steal the election, despite being told by everyone in his circle that the election was not stolen? Any thoughts on that?
  13. Well, he's doing everything he can to support the guy who spent over a year trying to get himself illegally installed as the POTUS after losing an election. Remember that? oh that's right, that doesn't bother you because its your "preferred political party."
  14. My first unread post on this thread. Quite the take.
  15. giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not a troll, just to ask why you so often speak in absolutes? That's what children ages 5-8 do. Its really your position that power-crazed despots are not able to inflict the harm they desire? Would you like me to send you a dozen examples just from the last 100 years?
  16. I looked it up @Sbbruin Closest Chili's is in Arcadia
  17. and in exchange, you'll chain me to a board with a straitjacket and a face shield? I don't think so....
  18. Probably something to do with Herman being a bitch ass loser
  19. conservatives when they see or hear the word "California"
  20. its pretty remarkable how the loudest of the "KEEP IT IN THE CR!!" are the ones who cannot help but see any post on this board about California- whether its "food and travel," "music," or "baseball" - and take a political shot. Then of course, the thread devolves into a political discussion and they start whining about the CR crowd. every fucking time.
  21. Was the 2020 election stolen from Trump? Yes or no.
