Remember when joe was going to wipe the floor with trump?
These people are nuts. They cling to something shitty until it dies, then act like it never happened. Remember “safe and effective “?

But will you guys find the power to stop talking(and complaining endlessly) about him when hes out of the picture, is the big question. We shall see in november. The speakers corner will collapse without him
You're caught up in all that this side or that side stuff. Break yourself free. It will feel good.
I'm not one of "You guys."
The election is going to be won by middle of the road people like me. 45-60 years old. Moderate and intelligent. All the other noise is just that.
One thing is for certain, trump is not getting the voting block of people like me that are going to be the deciding factor. He's going to lose.
I have no animosity towards trump supporters that have allowed emotion to cloud their judgement.
I'm not from Texas but have spent about 3 months of my life there for work. Great state and great people but I would never want to live there.
Dallas sucks. At least the downtown area. Was in an alley in the middle of the night at the DMARC connecting internet to an office. Holy crap. It was scary.
Was in Abilene for a week. The people were as nice and cordial as anywhere I've ever been. Had some barbecue which was overrated but still good. My last night there I drove a few miles outside of town to some fancy steakhouse and had one of the best meals of my life. Loved the parade they had on a Friday night and the High School football pride. This was 2000. Things have probably changed.
Then drove out to Bossier and then to Shreveport and wished I was back in Abilene. Louisiana just sucks. All that talk about food, well I didn't find it. I did find a brew pub a few miles outside of Covington. It's a good thing Lake Pontchartrain acts like a buffer because the people on the other side of New Orleans don't want them there.
It was 20 years ago or more that I was there, but I was treated very well once they found out I was a beer enthusiast from Portland Oregon. Back then Portland was the pinnacle of microbrew. The guy that brewed the beer came out to talk to me and pick my brain about what I thought of his beer. They brought me a ton of samples. I felt like a celebrity.
It doesn't matter where you are from. Who you vote for. None of that stuff matters. How you treat your fellow man defines you as a person.
Some take the negative path. Some take the positive. Some just ignore it all and say nothing.
I have friends and I interact with people that are in the middle, far left, far right, and everything in between. We find common ground on certain things and have learned to move past the differences in other areas.
I just did a hike with a few different people. Political leanings were 50/50 but nobody talked politics. We were all just out for a nice hike. Oregon has some very nice areas for hiking.
I'd buy you a beer.

It's not about affordable. Why spend more than necessary when you're doing an out of state job? These were jobs I had to bid on. Cost played a big role in the costs of those bids. 5 people for a week when they're going to be on the jobsite for 12-16 hours a day. Why get anything more than just basic sleeping accommodations? We were working and getting things done. I ran the project and was tasked with doing it as efficiently as possible.
I performed that role and significant profit was made.
You sound like a child that doesn't understand High Level interactions.
You've said things about me that I'm not even going to dignify by addressing.
When you graduate from High School you might want to change your behavior. Without a College education it's going to be hard to make money in a profession. If you have Mommy and Daddy money then you will need to keep it safe. Good luck and I wish you the best.

People that gloat about their wealth have a certain kind of insecurity and default to "financial fitness" to make them feel better about themselves and their other deficiencies. While I don't agree with this mindset I do feel its become a commonplace quality in our societal indoctrination, unfortunately.

I’m not rich at all. I’ve never claimed to be. I’m just not a broke ass socialist.

Good grief. You're attempt at trying to make me look like an indigent beggar falls flat. Like I said previously, I was mining bitcoin when it was worth $100. It's $ 65,000 now.
Take your stupid nonsense and go where the sun doesn't shine.
What I can afford is irrelevant. The fact that you would even make it an issue shows how shallow your intellect is.
Get a life and stop hating yourself. You're hanging on by a thread. It saddens me to see people like you clinging to a dead end.
Good luck with your dead end maga lifestyle.
I wish you nothing but good fortune. You're going to need it.
Sad to see people waste their lives on frivolous nonsense and go down a path of nothingness.
You do you.
Fist pump. Yeah!
