I was just correcting it for those reading it later and quoting you in case your added more at a later time/date. You're right on the above quote as well. There are a few of us who would and have supported him in this and earlier (lost) elections, but I think his greatest selling point this time out was simply NOT being the subservient Republican candidate. Enough of a coalition of Democrats (big turnout among ethnic groups/activists) and a lower turnout among Republicans, some of whom were tired of the Trump drivel. The Incumbents acceptance of whatever Trump shoveled actually changed some lifelong Republicans to not necessarily vote "for" the Democrats, but to vote "against" more Trump minions. Had the incumbents shown a spine and the ability to think for themselves, we might've still had the Republican Senate majority. As a side note, there are still places (too many unfortunately) where signs are still up for "Trump/Pence 2020", "Trump 2024". There are even some with added signage "Thank God for" posted alongside or above them. I can only equate these people with those who were taught to worship Adolph "H." because only he could save the country. It would be funny if it were not so scary how much these people have bought in to every lie Trump has pushed. They are not going away and cannot be reasoned with.

There must be some sort of lingering cognitive dissonance for people who are still flaunting Trump/Pence signs, now that Trump tried to have Mike Pence lynched on January 6th. I noticed that Pence only garnered 1% of the CPAC straw poll vote for the 2024 GOP Presidential nomination. Trump fans seem to have a highly developed tolerance for reductios ad absurdum -- like wanting Trump to get credit for the COVID vaccines that they refuse to get. 🤥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His base would leave him in droves! They're not particularly disappointed to find out Trump got the vaccine, But will be forever grateful to Trump that he didn't tell THEM to get the vaccine, and they're not getting the vaccine dammit!. 😜😬 ***** Steve I'm sorry to hear about your bad jab in your rotator cuff! That seemingly would have been a hard thing to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Florida Republicans pushing proposal that would allow Trump to open casino over local objections by Travis Gettys March 17, 2021 https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-doral/ “Former president Donald Trump may be permitted to turn his struggling Doral golf resort into a gambling destination despite objections from the neighboring community if a Republican proposal goes through the Florida legislature.” “His younger son Eric Trump, who runs the family's private company, has been promoting the possibility of transforming the resort as Republican state legislators discuss a proposal that would allow developers to transfer gambling licenses to properties in areas that have long prohibited casinos -- and also prohibit local governments from stopping them, reported the Washington Post. "My understanding is they are trying to take the gambling permits that are in South Florida and make them portable, and preempt local governments from stopping them," said Miami Beach mayor Dan Gelber, a Democrat and longtime gambling opponent.” “"This guy has bankrupted every casino he's ever run," said Democratic state Rep. Joseph Geller. "How do you bankrupt a casino? I don't think we need a failed casino. We don't want to be the next Atlantic City."” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 FCC fines Texas robocallers record $225m by Rob Beschizza Mar 18, 2021 https://boingboing.net/2021/03/18/ftc-fines-texas-robocallers-record-225m.html “My phone is nearly useless: dozens of scam calls daily about car warranties and Microsoft hacks and my myriad of crimes, press 1 or go to jail. So all calls are silenced and I swipe through voicemail transcripts now and again to see if anything was real. The phone companies profit from it and will do only enough to tamp down bad PR, which leaves the regulators, reduced to telling Americans never to answer or return calls from unknown numbers. Perhaps this record $225m fine for robocallers is a good sign of change.” I’ve been arrested (or least told I had been) 18 times in the last month.

Kirk Gallaway Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I get you Steve. I'm told I owe money I don't owe, or I better act now or I face a lawsuit. And still of course, I'm being threatened to be taken to court by the IRS! Online I'm also getting a lot of car warranty stuff. I'm told I get free auto insurance! Has anybody ever checked that out? Is that a total scam, or is it a free month? One time i took the bait to see if I could lower my auto rates, and I was bombarded by every local agent in the area! I did enlist in something a few years back. I wish I could remember what it was so I could recommend it. It did substantially reduced the telemarketer calls and would flash numbers of incoming calls with a message "Scam Likely". As all such things, little by little, telemarketers find ways around them. Still it's a lot more tolerable than it use to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, Douglas Caddy said: FBI releases new footage of pro-Trump mob attacking police at U.S. Capitol (yahoo.com) FBI releases video of 10 rioters who allegedly committed most brutal assaults on police officers (msn.com) In the first link the video kept freezing up. But the second one is nuts. First in the text it talks about the two guys in the Sicknick case, one asking the other for the Bear S--t. If that's what he was hit with full frontal facial it's not surprising he may have had an allergic reaction. Rare, maybe, I'm no expert on the subject. But it's the most concentrated pepper spray publicly available I know of. Meant to stop grizzly's. Illegal in California, the bear state (!) if I remember reading right. These people came prepared to physically confront Officers of the United States Government. In the FBI videos, # 2 does not walk softly, but he carries and uses a big stick. # 4 uses a long taser, a weapon I've never seen before. Legal? # 5 the gas mask attempted rip off. This is crazy. # 6 another big stick. # 9 looks like bear spray. # 10 a fire extinguisher from above? Not healthy to breathe I imagine. Insurrection?
