You're undermining your attempt to act like the "rational actor" here by letting this bizarre, emotional imagery slip out.

People lost the Democratic primary, yes. Like people lose in any primary race.

Frothing aside it does appear that Cruz gave Boebert a lot of cash. Do you think that was for "services rendered" or because the GOP is no longer the "Party of ideas" but is now the "Party of batshit crazy trolls who spew lies and conspiracy theories in order to trigger the libs"?

The latter.

And that is what I found most disturbing in this revelation.

The seniors are helping recruit these extremists that froth up the voters.

The beard growing has been noticeable. Trying to wear flannel as well. Adopting a persona to appeal to "Chad"...

But I think the same is happening on the left. The players are becoming more extremist. Biden got nominated because all the other shit slung at the wall slid off like diarrhea...

But it was still slung, and more ammo/shit is ready to be slung from both sides...

Biden was nominated and won for one reason. He was moderate/milquetoast enough to beat Trump.

He didn’t win because crazy lefties wanted him. He won because people were tired of Trump. Period. End of story.

NOw go oput some ice ion your ass because you are clearly butt hurt.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Biden got nominated because Trump was a shitshow, and also because the far left (extremists as you would say) didn't have enough influence to win a nationwide election with Bernie.

I'm not confused in the least.

If that's the best the left could throw out to "not be Trump" then they really suck. They need a complete overhaul of how crazy their extremist end has moved. Both have absurdly bizarre extremist ends.

The difference is the left’s extremists are mostly ignored, while the righty extremists are making policy, be it at the state legislature level, or the Supreme Court. There is no comparison. You cannot “both sides” this with any credibility.

He accidentally undermined himself by saying out loud that the more extreme candidates in the Democratic primary "slid off the wall like diarrhea." Which is to say, they were ignored, just like you say.

Though Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and Bloomberg were in no way extreme. They were also full-blown moderates on the predonderance of issues. They were less "moderate" than Biden in not being household names with decades of mind-bendingly banal, milquetoast track record. That's about it.

Only Tulsi Gabbard would I have to pause and think about for a while about putting her in the Boebert column.

The crazy loud ones are the ones heard. That is not what I consider mainstream. Mainstream wants it go away. I dont really know anyone pro Trump. Most that hate the progressive liberals cringed when he opened his mouth and wished would shut up. However these people fear the far left woke as fundamentally ruining the world. The mainstream dems are siding with the loud mouthed woke more and more. So are companies. They are terrorizing the country with their social media mob justice. I want both extremist ends gone. Maybe the maga crowd will slink back a bit after the Boeberts and MTGs are gone. When DeSantis takes the nomination from Trump he will be severely weakened. That and Garland may pursue charges.

The dems are definitely not like they were 10 years ago. There is no god damn compromise anymore. Its all or nothing from both extremes and no one listens to the rest. I have plenty of ideas on what I would like to see best. However I dont think I should get that. It would be unfair to the large population of people who don't agree. Its not that they agree with each other either. But, no one should get their way for all they want. Compromise is what is needed. Trade-offs are needed, policies that reflect what a majority can live with are needed. So fuck the far left, and fuck the far right. As neither will give a damn inch.

Are you saying the DeSantis or trump will be severely weaken when DeSantis takes the nomination? I could see both things being true. If DeSantis takes the nomination, trump will run third party or encourage people not to vote and sabotage the GOP thereby weakening DeSantis. Or if DeSantis take the nomination it would only come because trump (and trumpism) is weakened. Which did you mean?

I doubt MTG or Boebert are going away. And that speaks to my point, their existence as representatives has moved the mainstream further right.

We agree there is no compromise and that the extremes dominate, but we disagree that the GOP hasn't been dominated by what would be considered extreme 10 years ago.

I'm with you on saying a hearty fuck you to the far left, but I will say a double fuck you to the anti-Constitutional (dare I say anti-American) mainstream GOP that is extreme.

I was implying that if/when DeSantis gets the nod for being the party's front runners it will make Trump look weak, back to back losses where he can't even run. He may loose some followers and continually fade in relevance...

I just find it hypocritical that this site can froth at the mouth over unsubstantiated claims while immediately shutting them down in other cases. The difference seems to be political leaning. However Boebert is a bit special, I understand that. I have zero plans to defend her. Though I would hope more would pull back once some major claims were refuted, such as the timeliness of said hush money from Cruz where they claimed Cruz paid her $127k for prostitution.

I would guess there may be some truth to some of it..

Who froths at the mouth? Point those posts out for all of us. It seems, as usual, the forum is more or less in agreement. The article seemed fishy, probably had some truth to it.

Quit being a whiny victim.

As usual you come off a pompous swim coach. This fucking thread swim coach. Read it. Frothing at the mouth over unsubstantiated shit. Happens in many other threads. Do your own research, I'm not your secretary...

Well, I read the entire thread again.

There has been frothing all right. But it has all come from you.

From the very beginning everyone has been skeptical. No one bought it completely. The closest you come is some people saying they don't care, she is a POS and spreads lies so she gets what she deserves.

You might want to check the definition of that word... many on here were so excited at the possibilities. I find it pathetic that this flies only when a certain party is targeted. Target the other party with that little of anonymous info and a swarm of posters for that party would zoom in and shut the thread down...

Yeah. I don't need to. Everyone was skeptical of the reliability of the report. But nice attempt at a redirect.

Now you should look up "frothing at the mouth." And I was even giving you some leeway. I let you include being "excited at the possibilities" when the reality is "frothing at the mouth" means to be angry. And really there was only one who said they got too excited.

You keep making the assertion and it isn't backed up by evidence. If it is there, point it out. I know, I know, you aren't my secretary. That is nonsense. You are accusing people of something, back it up.

I think I'm "the guy" who you supposedly "called out" for making what was intended as a light-hearted joke. Your "call outs" need to get better. You're obviously not as tough and credible as you seem to think you are. But I can see how it would be easy to make a mistake when you're furiously trying to dominate threads. (Go ahead, "call me out" for this. Just let me know you're doing it, so I won't miss it again, because I'm obviously not as smart or as articulate as you.)

Furiously trying to dominate? I'm a lone wolf here dude... that is what happens when a bunch of people all start posting at a post of yours. You either ignore them or "furiously" try to respond...

And yes, you admitted you were getting overly excited with glee over the possibilities. It was a bit laughable...

Him and a few others that were put up... Biden got the nomination due those factors. The far left put him in office as he was the only palatable choice. Put up a larger group of people taking more moderate approaches and Biden would have got laughed off stage. He is a place holder with hopes the left will choose a group of less extreme positions to choose from.

Some of the left that lost the nomination to Biden may not have been as extreme as they campaigned, that style is what grabs headlines. It retrospect the losers may have wished they competed against the Biden approach vs who could spew the silliest policies and pithy slogans...

Well, I'm sure this would all shake out with a proper lawsuit. And whether she wins or not, I hope some very damaging information comes out. She is a complete POS with a total disregard for the truth and says some of the most hateful horrendous things, and an elected representative at that.
She deserves everything she gets, unless it's good. She needs to go the way of the Wonder boy.

"God" help us if they keep electing people like this and they actually continue to get elected. Now if we could just get MG convicted That would be great. Add MGT and others to that mix. It would be great if Trump Center circle joined. But I'm getting too excited here.

We've already gone through this once. I'm still in disbelief that djt somehow won the election, but I also believe he had help from russia. Whether it was coordinated or not, I don't know, but apparently the aging and maybe not so well thinking anymore Mueller said they weren't coordinating so that's fine. Mueller teed up an obstruction charge and then Bill Barr completely and unethically got rid of that without even knowing the details.

Yes, we have some pretty over-the-top far left people in our party, but you don't see anywhere near the amount of hate coming out of their mouths as you do some of these POS republicans. I think that's a verifiable fact. But no I'm not going to spend the money documenting it.

“Tell me you spank the monkey before any big post. Oh my God, he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big post. Are you crazy? That's like going out posting with a loaded gun! Of course that's why you're nervous.”

You are correct. I was in a hurry and forgot to jerk off before posting, but in my defense just as I was getting excited MTG's face came into view and I've been dead limp ever since.

This was apparently my brother mattbk's "calling me out." I thought he was joking. So, I responded in kind, Iike my original joke that mattbk so desperately wants to have been serious. Using his logic he had to have been "admitting" (his words, not mine) that he masturbates before any big post. That is one hell of a lot of masturbation! You keep chocking that chicken, mattbk! I'm pulling for you (there's a little joke in there, FYI. I didn't want you to miss it again.)

Oh, so now it's the whole post? I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain that my post caused you. But that sure was a great "call out" that you bragged about. Really put me in my place. But I deserved it for upsetting you, because I know how you are so against upsetting people. Now I'll let you get back to annoying the rest of the forum.

The point is that better candidates could have been put forth. Biden won because he acted centrist and came off "milquetoast". Are there not others with those two qualities that aren't the rest of the mess Biden is? He surely couldn't be the best of the centrist dems...if so, holy shit that sucks.

Now you just seem to be shouting at the wind. Again, the crazy righties have literally taken over the Republican Party and, to some degree, the Supreme Court. That’s a lot more worrying for our country than some woke lefties railing on social media.

The world can handle more than one problem at a time. "But Trump" doesn't negate any and all other issues period. The woke crazies want ironfisted control with zero negotiation. They have not, as of yet, taken over the liberal party. However they do work to control how many corporations act out of fear of being their next target. They sure want to expand and control the Supreme Court and have demanded such.

Okay, okay, you may be right. Let's compare our posting histories and determine which one of us is "high strung." Let's compare our post counts, too. I've been on ST since before 2005, fwiw. I usually stay out of dust-ups, but it at least "appears" to me so that you're on here looking for a fight. I'm sure that check of our posts should be helpful to see which of us has issues (on here, that is. We all have issues, including me, of course.) Try to have a nice day, if you can. (That was serious, just fyi.)

I will do my best to have nice day, hope you do too bud.

I dont look for fights here, I usually regret calling people out as you have to go back and forth for 100+ posts.

I usually call out what I think is hypocrisy from the ruling party in this forum. I want the rules to be the same for the minority as they are for the majority. I've been around about as long as you and finally started posting late 2000s.

You have a great name, do us Matt's proud here.

You’re just creating bogeymen to try to both sides this. It’s laughable. This country has two parties that are right of center. The GOP is far right and the Democratic Party is center right. Even the liberal wing of the Democratic Party is only center left when compared to European politics and policies.

Here we go again, Kay and the hate for America. You are too predictable and boring.

Who cares about European policies? You are typically one of the angrier posters on here and never budge on your opinions. I wouldn’t expect you to look at something with your blinders off. Our terrible capitalism provides more support for the rest of the world than anyone. China's belt and road purchases don't count. Sure we need to change some things, but compared to Europe we have outdone them and brought more people and countries into a better life through foreign aid and the American Dream. Why do so many immigrants want to come here?? We have a very diverse base of immigrants turned US citizens. And you just want to compare to homogeneous white Europe countries that serve themselves.
