Ag with kids

I'm the only one that brought up minorities...

I NEVER blamed the "spread of Covid on immigrants" And...I remembered when discourse was more reasonable on HF and Shaggy. Now...I just shake my head. I think I'll go back to the Food & Travel board where people aren't so angry. Good luck gentlemen on your "debate".

The avatar is funny. Has nothing to do with owning the libs. Look closer. If you can't see the humor in it, I can't help you.

I didn't say that nor imply it. Why did you assume that minorities are the ones that won't be able to pay their mortgages? Racist much?

No...that claim was from Brisketexan....saying that's what Republicans espouse. He put a bunch of claims into his diatribe. Sorry I didn't answer every single one. But then you haven't answered squat....

You mean giving large amounts of money to people that won't be able to pay it is...what? A bad idea? A racist idea (because we all know "white" = "racist")

This is why I rarely try to post here... But, I was drinking and went against my better judgement and engaged....

COVID immigrated here legally I guess... And there's zero COVID coming across the southern border.

Just to give you a hint..if your position on all those positions are those of the Democrats, then the Republicans didn't move right, you moved left. It's cool though...

a) don’t be a coward. Fuck you. I tried posting on here for just a few weeks and realized this place is basically a burnt orange DemocraticUnderground. I am glad that the posters here have refrained from neg repping me during this conversation. It took me a year and a half of posting only on Food & Travel to get positive. ii) the cool thing is, I don’t have to guess. They literally published something that told us exactly what they think. It said, functionally, “whatever Trump wants.” Seriously, that was the stated party platform. [url=https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2016-republican-party-platform]The 2016 Republican Party platform[/url] So, with the same candidate on the ballot, they didn’t change the platform? What’s your point? 3) you want some? Ok - hollering about immigrants as the cause of literally all of our problems. Drugs? The economy? COVID? Blame immigrants! Well, Republicans DON’T do that, but maybe you’re listening to the wrong echo chamber. But wait, they don’t have a problem with LEGAL immigrants, just illegals. Wait, what’s that, they then shifted the goalposts and are working like hell to cut off legal immigration, too? This is incorrect. Nazis marching in Charlottesville are good people? Supporters literally yelling “heil Trump?” WTF? So if a psycho asshole says BRISKETEXAN IS MY HERO, then you’re guilty for anything he does? An orchestrated campaign to delegitimize all media that doesn’t blindly support the regime, using the exact “lugenpresse” play the Nazis ran? Come on, man. This is going to get even more embarrassing for you, because I have 100 more of these. IV) funny thing….Godwin himself said “nope, it’s cool, compare them to Nazis, it fits.” HAHAHA. Yeah… the Republicans/right control the media. Torbush… Some of us have read a book or two. We know the plays and systems that authoritarians run on their rise to power, including the Nazis. And we’ve watched, with horror, as they’re being run again, right here at home. Even including the brown shirts and a violent attack on the legitimate government. Remember that one? That’s what your party has wrought. And do they own it, and try to make good? No. They double down. I read books too. 1984 A Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovitch The Gulag Archepeligo They call terrorists who literally attacked the heart of my government “tourists.” They fight any investigation or accountability. Nah…they’re an “idea”. Because all of the attacks on federal buildings for 2 years where they destroyed and burned property and all the personnel had to evacuate was not a big deal - because the right wasn’t doing it. If you stand with a party that supports those things, or the the better LEAST…those aren’t dealbreakers for you….then I know all I need to know about you. Don’t know what party you stand with but I don’t stand with that stuff… I am a patriotic american. I love my country. And I hate - and I mean hate - those who attack it, and those who support, enable, and excuse them. You may as well be supporting, enabling, and excusing Al Qaeda. I mean, if you want to know which “conservative values” I still hold dear, and why they mean that I hate the Republicans and those who support them. You fucking asked. I’m telling. Hey…support your version of fascism. I’ll just disagree with you.

Again...vague talking points. State the position of the Republicans and then give an explanation of why it's bad in your opinion. I can post a list of things I disagree with the left on. That's not difficult.

Nice list of vague talking points.

You're the one that stated "It’s that the republicans have shifted so far to the right that Adolf Hitler in hell thinks they’ve gone too far and it makes center right people appear liberal in comparison." I asked you to clarify what these positions were. Why should I have to do your homework for you? JFC

Well, I listen to NPR, so... And I didn't say they were "former friends". I'm not the kind of asshole that throws away friendship just because we have different views...

a) Thank you for reinforcing why I don't post on CR much - even though I used to post a lot more on Shaggy/Hornfans. ii) Just because you don't know what Republicans (or the right/libertarians) want doesn't mean I need to explain things to you. 3) Again, you've stated that the Republicans are the "nazi party minus any real give a shit about country". It shouldn't be too hard to expound on the ACTUAL policies and positions that make them "nazis". But, be specific. Please don't just use platitudes. IV) Godwin thanks you for invoking him...

I haven't gone anywhere either. But, I've got numerous friends that were center left and reasonable that now think full blown socialism is a good idea.

Could you list out these Republican/right shifts sticking strictly to policy issues?

I rarely post on here (other than the Food & Travel board) because if I offer any kind of opinion or statement about politics, I tend to get told to go fuck myself, stupid aggy, rascist, fascist, etc... Hence, I lurk. I have, though, noticed a huge leftward shift of many of the posters that seemed to be on the center right of the political scale. It's been interesting. Take my view as you will....YMMV

Technically, it's a mixture...

After perusing this thread, I only have one comment... It needs a LOT more tits and a LOT more guns to live up to the thread title. I was quite disappointed.

Perhaps I should have clarified. N95 without a valve is ok...n95 WITH a valve is not.

Many airlines will nix that N95. And gaiters, too. Don't be looking for reason here. This is a conglomeration of different organizations, employees, and people that really have no fucking idea what the rules are..

Those are counties, not districts?

I don't have anything to add other than I've been staring at your avatar for 3 min and wanted to thank you...

Oh god...I HATED their chile rellenos...I tried them a couple times just to be sure and I could not stand them. Fast forward to a few years after A&M when I was first went to work out at WSMR and our group went out to eat at Chope's the first night. (As the new guy I thought they were fucking with me about the egg on top, but since they all ordered it, too. Thank god I did). But, they all said to get a chile relleno on they side. Based on my Pancho's experience I was horrified, but since it was paid for (we were on per diem for the trip) I figured WTF... Changed my entire view on CR. Got them with EVERY meal after that. Never tried the Pancho's CR again, though. Didn't want to ruin it for me again. IIRC it was the batter they used.
