You are posting bad faith garbage and I will continue to call you on it.

Hey, now that @pisgah101 is around, care to expound upon your day-drinking comment?
I find it hard to believe that a sober person could post the nonsense that you post. Other than that, I’m at a loss as to how pisgah would be involved Apparently he is too
After all your vile rhetoric, are you actually trying to get me in trouble with the mod re: a day drinking comment?

You're a pathetic coward. You throw something like that out there then lie and run away from it when you get called on it.

Never mind, @pisgah101 . He's not going to take any accountability for his cowardly trolling.
 
Only a drunk or ignorant person could post the things you post. Since you’re denying the former, that leaves us with the latter
This is the type of thing you've posted BEFORE any of the things you whine about me posting.

You wanna go toe-to-toe and get nasty with this, I'm game, but quit falling apart like an off-brand tissue every time I square up. I'd prefer a more gentlemanly course, but that requires two, and probably, way more than two.

You keep dismissing things I post w/ no explanation. Just character attacks. I'm convinced it's because you're too scared and dumb to address anything specifically. It's easier to act smug, like you have some kind of secret knowledge, but it's a flimsy façade I won't fall for. You mock that I state clearly and confidently that I'm an expert -- in the freakin field I've been in for nearly 29 years -- but you never actually challenge it. You just troll w/ crap about pubescent kids and accusations of day-drinking. You have nothing.

wtf are you talking about?
Accountability for trolling on a message board?
I still don’t know why you keep bringing pisgah into this.
You were probably that little punk in middle school who ran to the teacher instead of taking the beating you deserve.

Accusations of day drinking? It was a joke dipshit. You act like I reported you to the school board A lot of people retire from teaching after 25 or 30 years. That doesn’t make them all experts. Some are great; some should have been fired after two years

What am I scared of? It’s getting harder and harder to make heads or tails out of your chaotic , stream of consciousness posts

A lot of people on the left are overly sensitive and can’t tell when people are joking or not. Take the Puerto Rico joke at MSG. They were outraged about what a comedian said, but the politicians calling everyone Hitler followers were ok. You’re right about teachers, a lot of them should be fired. I never agreed with the tenure BS. If you don’t do your job, find another occupation.

The left has always gotten away with spewing vitriol, hate and divisiveness. Then playing the victim and pointing the finger and accusing the Right of doing it. LOL... It's laughable and "the people" are seeing through their BS. That's why the results of the election are what they are. I hear my liberal friends saying they just couldn't vote for Trump b/c of "character issues", not realizing those same character issues reside just as strongly on the left. The majority of that is the corp media giving Trump/the right 85% negative coverage and 95% positive coverage to Harris/Biden/the left.

It's also pretty ironic that Harris only won the states that have no voter ID laws. I'm not saying that she possibly wouldn't have won them anyway, but it's eyebrow raising.

Not to mention the 15+M voters that came from out of no where in 2020, then disappeared again in 2024. LOL...I guess that was just an anomaly.
 
Immediately after calling Elon Musk a dipshit, Walz spoke with reporters and said that we need to get away from the name calling and insults. One small example. It's funny to see them attempt to have the moral superiority. In reality, they are the most vile and nasty people there are.

Why would I ever trust that any of y'all are joking when you throw the same kinds of things at me in earnest?

Tenure exists basically because of the Great Red Scare. College professors had to be able to educate students about things like communism without indoctrinating them with patriotic propaganda. Shouldn't people learn what communism actually is before making an informed decision about it? Isn't there a place for studying it as a concept, as a theory, and a place for studying it in application? Shouldn't political scientists use a variation of the Scientific Method, too, avoiding prejudices to make analytical decisions?

Really, conservatives should blame themselves for the existence of tenure. If they weren't determined to eradicate from education everything they're scared of and which doesn't fit their narrow worldview, it wouldn't be necessary. It's as relevant and necessary as ever as we look toward a second Trump Presidency. Quit political meddling in education and tenure won't be necessary.

As opposed to President-elect Trump, who calls people names and never backs off, never gets it out of his system, never aspires to anything better than being vile and nasty?

100% right! Do I like the things Trump says at times, not really? I'd prefer him to be more polished, some might say more "Presidential". However after I've been called a Nazi, Garbage, Uneducated, Racist, Misogynist etc. I don't really give a F what Trump says now, I quit caring a long time ago.

Case in point! Pointing the finger but never accepting responsibility. That's the liberal party in a nutshell.

I saw the map of states with no voter ID laws. I felt this election should have been a landslide, but I was worried about their cheating. I heard the phrase "too big to rig" and I believe that was spot on. They knew they couldn't get away with what they did in 20.

More Americans have opened their eyes. That's great for our country, but bad for democrats. They've gotten so delusional. But what's worse than that is they've become so arrogant and brazen, and they thought they could continue to get away with this shit.

Not as opposed, no. Not my point. My point is, the left has no moral superiority, and by the numbers, they are the most vile and nasty people there are. That doesn't mean that Trump is innocent or that there are no vile and nasty people on the right.

Good clarification. Thank you.
How do you figure "most" and "by the numbers"?

Spot on! I was worried, as well. I'm just glad that Americans of different backgrounds, races, religions and sexes are waking up to the BS of the liberal party. It was pretty resounding. However, the democrats still don't understand what happened or why it happened. I hope they stay in that mental delusion b/c it's only going to benefit conservatives.

My favorite map though, and I'm sure you saw it too. The map of every county in the US that voted for Biden, then the same map that voted for Harris. It was ZERO and it was beautiful. LMFAO.....

I think the clip was from the view. A woman was talking about a border county that is 97% Hispanic voters and 75% of them voted for Trump. And as she was trying to explain that it was because of the border situation, she was interrupted by another host who said it was because of misogyny. They can't imagine a scenario that it is terrible policy and lack of concern for national security would be the reason for Hispanics to vote for Trump. Hispanic Americans are the ones who got the biggest middle finger from this regime.

I don't think there is any data collected to verify my claims. So I can add that it is my opinion. And I think my opinion is backed by a bottomless supply of examples. If the right had more vile and nasty people, they must do a better job at hiding it. How many songs are there about killing a democrat president? How many music videos are there depicting the assassinating Barack Obama? How many people held up a bloody head of Joe Biden? There's no shortage of examples of people on the right being insulting and disrespectful. I can be an example of that. But it's just not at the same level.

If you're owning it as your opinion, I can accept that. Surprising no one, my opinion is that there are far more examples on the right, and I hope you would trust that in addition to the examples you would acknowledge, I could come up with many more. It doesn't sound like a fun use of the rest of this holiday, though, so I'd just as soon leave it at that.

Happy Veterans Day, y'all.
 
Yeah, the right makes fun of the left. We shouldn't. But to us, it's all about the issues. In my opinion, which I think is shared by most on the right, is the left does nothing on issues that we feel are important: the economy, border...

Gonna have to disagree. When the left is so delusional and so extreme and they accuse us of being racist, homophonic, misogynist, xenophobic, transphobic and whatever other ist or ic there is for not joining them in their delusions, they deserve the mockery they get.
 
Trump's new national security advisor. Someone who actually talks about the massive waste from the Pentagon. Maybe they'll actually do something about it unlike his last term.

Students should learn about communism, but shouldn’t be indoctrinated with patriotic propaganda. That sounds about right coming from a far leftist. You liberals just don’t seem to like America like us conservatives. I also don’t give a rat’s ass about who started tenure. We shouldn’t have it, but of course you’re going to politicize it as being the Republicans fault.

Granted, Stalin was our ally in WW2 but he was responsible for more civilian deaths than Hitler. Upwards of 20 million from political executions and man made famines from collectivization etc. No one ever calls their enemies a Stalin.
The evils of communism are downplayed by historians if not whitewashed altogether Some Leftists still are caught praising the tegimes of China and Venezuela

Conservatives' fault, not necessarily Republicans'. Democratic President Truman deserves some blame, as well.
Should communism be defined for us in an academic setting or a political setting?


Extremely doubtful.
If you're the judge of whether they count or not, yeah, I'd agree that it's doubtful. But then I get to go back and evaluate your examples and dismiss each of them, too, and we get back into the weeds again.

It's all about different issues on the left, but issues all the same. But you won, we lost. The issues you find more important will be prioritized. The left can dig their heels in and be ignored, or we can participate and hopefully be included.

Well I gave you examples that you ignored. What are some examples that even come close to begin as vile and nasty as those?
