at one time I thought @strummingram was a real wit, but turns out I was only half right.

I prefer "scamdemic". Because it signals that maybe the Dems didn't plan it (which I won't totally rule out) but they sure as hell leveraged it for all it was worth.
I somewhat agree. There are halfwits and then there are the evil geniuses. The halfwits are just the puppets of the evil geniuses. I hate them less. The evil geniuses are the real problems - the establishment politicians that have made careers off lying to the American people and telling them they are looking out for their best interest and then do pretty much everything contrary to that end.
Fixed it for you. Strum is a legend in his own mind.
“All” being all politicians? If so, I disagree. Some are halfwits, like AOC. But some are quite intelligent. Most have perfected the art of enriching themselves at the expense of their constituents, especially members of Congress. And that’s both parties!
The only scare tactics being used here are the ones from MAGA world- telling people Biden isn't President, the 2020 election was stolen, Democrats want to kill babies, that crime is sooo horrible, and that giving a shred of decency to transgender people will bring about the end times.
You don't f**king read, Arch. I've made my opinions on those issues known before. You're a walking, talker poster child from something out of a Rush Limbaugh episode. A person with the political nuance of a five year old.
So, before you go off on another dumb tangent about how I'm 'just as bad as the Squad' why don't you try asking me what I really think about these topics, and I'll give you honest answers. Scouts honor.
As usual, you make the absolute dumbest false equivalencies about opinions I don't actually have and will make up a million different excuses and logical fallacies to deny there could be ANYTHING wrong with your side of the isle. I didn't lose anything. You just made up excuses. Or rather, you stuck your head in the sand when it didn't go along with your perception of the world.
Alas, it falls on deaf ears. Why should I have expected anything more?

Yes, I know you think all Dems are halfwits and Republicans aren't. Very rational of you.
"Alas, it falls on deaf ears. I shouldn't have expected less."
sorry, I do have a hard time hearing forked tongue.
I think you meant you shouldn't have expected more.
But I get your point, since I did not expect more in your reply. I actually addressed the points you offered and exposed them for how ridiculous they were as examples of extremes that compare to leftist extremes. You made no effort to do the same, which is what I expected. You say I made excuses? How was I making excuses when I made factual comparisons.
Here's another challenge. Tell me one thing I offered that isn't true, and don't just say or insinuate that it isn't true. SHOW ME, I'm from Monongahela. Or Milwaukee, or some damn place where you have to show them.
Give me an example of a false equivalency I made. How about a logical fallacy. Give me anything that resembles actual rebuttal and not buttheadedness.
you might have missed the line where he says he 's referring to both parties. But it's OK, I'm sure you feel better now.

I couldn't imagine that outfit having any biases in regards to getting rid of useless federal bureaucrats doing little more than collecting a paycheck on the taxpayer's dime....
awesome. How about letting us run all of our postings through you so you can tell us what we really mean.
Have you even watched the video above? Basically every important person in the administration and the MSM saying the 2016 election was stolen, that Trump was an illegitimate President. And “crime is sooo horrible”. You’re the one who hasn’t been reading or paying attention, not me. I try to read every post here and watch every video, even if I don’t agree with the poster’s stance. You’re the walking CNN poster boy. You are as nutty as AOC, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib.
So, once again, I’m asking your opinion on the current administration’s role in 40 year high inflation, soaring violent crime, the border invasion, the high cost of food and gas. Honest answers please.
Well, democrats do want to kill babies; the 2020 election was stolen; Biden is a criminal who has been taking bribes from our adversaries for years; the spike in crime rates is horrible, and grooming children is wrong.
You can add in that the democrats want to eliminate fossil fuels and that's a big reason gas prices and inflation are so high.

Your response was filled with outright falsehoods for one thing. That Indiana did not lie nor did she improperly report anything. It was the Indiana AG in all his anti-abortion absolutist glory, so furious he couldn't do anything to prevent or punish her for performing a legal medical procedure, that tried to find any minuscule way to punish her. That's what these crazy ass people are like. For a good portion of the pro life movement it's about control, not addressing the actual problem.
I have no idea what millions of 'illegals' coming into the country has to do with January 6th or how it relates at all. But it seems a bit sus to me you're more concerned about wearing sombreros and eating tacos (both of which are awesome) then the actual democratic peaceful transfer of power being violated. Once more, you deflect using an topic that has nothing to do with my claim.
You simply deflected on the civil service. You don't see a slight problem with a man single handedly weaponizing the entire bureaucratic aspect of our government to his advantage?
And lastly, what does abortion have to do with the rise in Christian Nationalism? 'Lining up babies on a track'. Seriously, what kind of BS is that? I know you didn't read the NYT article I posted but the evidence is right there. Multiple far right, MAGA candidates have a warped view of Christianity in this country and how it relates to implementing the law. Doug Mastriano, MTG, Lauren Boebert, not to mention the numerous evangelicals quoted in the article. The Supreme Court has made numerous decisions recently that erode a necessary border between religion and public life. That will continue for another decade or more.
It's the pitfall of religious extremism, which you yourself have admitted to being against. A person becomes so convinced that who they are and what they're about is godly, they think it should apply to everyone. These people do not think a person like me is even worthy of existing. Or if I do, I should exist according to their roles, their scripture, their divinely inspired interpretation of the United States. As a trans person, I have some skin in the game when it comes to my personal safety.
So no, I don't see what abortion has to do with a rise in right wing Christian candidates running for office.
Pray tell. Can you name a single example of "religious extremism" by way of so-called Christian nationalists? You act like Christians are lurking around every corner just waiting to attack people or some such. It's absurd.
Lay off the hormones for awhile and perhaps your mind can come back into balance.
no, no, no, it's an abomination....Trump might somehow be involved.
In reality, I'll never forget when obama was debating Romney, and Romney was pitching the efficiency of letting private contractors handle as much of our bureaucratic morass as possible. Obama countered that he had initiated the creation of a department that was responsible for collecting monies that were either fraudulently or mistakenly laid out by way of Medicare (IIRC). He boasted that it had a success rate of nearly (I think) something like 70%.
I was jumping up and down for Romney to be quick enough to point out that obama was proving Romney's point, that obama had to create yet another glob of bureaucracy to make good on what would never have been necessary to begin with if only Medicare was handled privately. Of course the nitwit just stood there letting obama gloat while the sheep ate it up.
They sneer at the thought of things being about money, but money is survival and survival is our strongest instinct. If you're in charge, let it be about YOUR money and watch the bullshit sail and the efficiency happen. If it it's somebody else's money, go ahead and finish your nap. There's always more.
Now you’re a mind reader. Impressive. I stated I thought 85-90% of Congress is corrupt. A man who can read minds should realize that mathematically that means at least 35-40% of those are Pubs. Actually, I think that 85-90% of both parties are corrupt. Believe that or not, I couldn’t care less.
Yeah but 82% of all statistics are made up.
Exactly the response I’d expect from you. Do you believe 85-90% of Congress is corrupt? More? Less? Both parties or just Pubs?
being purposely stupid is no argument. I have to go for now but I will take this apart later. So for now, remember the point was to show me some extremes of the right that were as terrible as those of the left. I was not making point-to-point comparisons and that I think should have been obvious to anyone not trying to squirm out of admitting that they are wrong. I was comparing your extremes to mine, and showing that any of your so-called extremes pale in comparison to the ones I offered.
Maybe this man is one of those the Left calls a Christian nationalist or some such?
Excellent speech and agree wholeheartedly with him. Worth the 3 minutes to watch.

I'm not a democrat, but I guess I should be since I have set some baby traps around the yard and the neighborhood today.
Crime is terrible. All the numbers prove it. You can stick your head in the sand all you want but it doesn't change the numbers.
And again with the trans victimization...ugh. So tired. But let me remind you that there is no law on decency. I do not have to be decent to anyone. You don't either. Get that through your thick skull please so that any discussion on these topics can be more fruitful in the future. And it would behoove those that deviate from the norm to spend time developing better coping strategies than to put effort towards attempting to change the general public. Once again, the onus is and should be on you.
Are you retarded? Seriously. We all love tacos. Americans have made mexican food famous. What Americans don't like is illegal immigrant criminals flooding the border and then raping and killing Americans. We're also not huge on mexican drug lords muling fentanyl pills into the country that are killing Americans at record rates. For every story of a minor that hasn't been able to have an abortion because of what you view as "right-wing extremist laws", I can find 10 stories of the damage that illegals are causing Americans. Stop minimizing a serious problem.
I think 430 people have been arrested and charged with connection to January 6th. And you're making it out to be some huge deal while you turn a blind eye to ALMOST 5 MILLION ILLEGALS CROSSING THE BORDER SINCE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE.
like you'd allow a baby to escape the womb
Ah, I see where this is going. Well in that case, I await your response. Should be fun.
You actually want a real answer to this stupid topic?
I have no idea. I don't have the time nor the inclination to study every member of Congress to figure out if he/she is corrupt, a moron, or both. I don't give a shit about the Congressman from Oklahoma's 3rd district.
I do know that anyone who gets into politics today is a moron and/or in it for their own personal benefit because the job is terrible. Everyone hates each other, you have zero privacy, you get paid shit, and you have to cater to a base of people who you probably hate.
Also, funny that you assume I'd only think Republicans are corrupt. I'm actually a registered Republican and have voted more that way than left in my life. Just because I don't worship at the feet of the current leadership of the party made you assume otherwise. That's pretty telling about yourself Archer.
How about that, you asked a question about me but in the end, you learned something about you. That's beautiful.
It would definitely be hard to fit it in with his busy schedule of world travel and discussions with hundreds of medical experts.
" I'm actually a registered Republican and have voted more that way than left in my life. "
Sure, man. LOL
it looks like @gunslingerdick has handled this quite adequately so for now I think I won't waste much more time watching you throw around the terms 'logical fallacy' and 'falsehoods' without any attempt at substantiation.
you don't see shit other than orange man bad, knee-jerk.
Regarding the Indiana abortionist, she was investigated over filing of the proper forms and that's all. As I said, she had had problems in that regard before. THAT is what they were checking her out for, not for having performed the abortion. She listed the impregnator as being 17, and that raised an eyebrow as he was much older than that. Articles attesting to this abound. But as you are so inclined, you conveniently jump to the conclusion that suits your agenda, along with all the other hysterical anti-lifers.
You are just an absolute fvckhead to dismiss what amounts to nothing less than an invasion of illegals in order to whine about an inconsequential bit of bellyaching from the president which is neatly countered by an equal amount of bellyaching over HIS election. Unbiased? Yeah you're unbiased all right. And you turn an equally blind eye to the massive rioting over Trump's election and Floyd's death wish, etc., that hardly raised your hackles, to turn around and make a mountain out of the Jan 6 molehill. I wish you knew how obvious it is to EVERYONE that reads your posts that you're just a knee-jerk, orange man bad liberal AND THEN SOME..
I did not deflect on anything just because you say I did. I am comparing the importance of a tremendously impactful failing of border security to an inconsequential riot and the desire of a president to see an improperly conducted election overturned, a desire I and many other right-headed Americans share. In contrast, the hue and cry over Trump's election was based on nothing more than that he was elected. Please try to feign a neutral POV and convince me that the last election wasn't irregularly conducted or that there was a legitimate basis for protesting Trump's election.
Again, no deflection. Politicization of the civil service simply isn't an issue worthy of inclusion in this discussion. But because it's all you have to offer, I'll say that I see no problem at all with pointing out the abject stupidity of implying that a president is only helping himself by trying to make our bureaucracy more responsive to the needs of the country. Just another indication of the blind hatred that motivates you.
again, because you have no valid response, you insist on comparing apples to oranges when I was just showing you what a weak fruitbasket you have. You're going all strummingram here, retreating into nonsense in place of argument. You know the point is that you would line up babies on a train track without blinking an eye while shitting your pants over the prospect of a Christian desiring to act on his/her faith but in a position that doesn't even allow much if any imposition on you. Did you forget I asked that you indicate any area of your life that is being affected or has been affected by Christian Nationalism in our political system? Conveniently so, I reckon you must have.
And sure, I'm against religious extremism and I'm for any human being that isn't a shitbag, regardless of sexual orientaion, OR RELIGIOUS CONVICTION. And I strongly believe in separationn of church and state. But separation of church and state doesn't mean we can't have religious types in government. I'm damn glad we do, instead of a collection of heathens. So the point here is, how important is this example of extremism and how does it compare in importance to the extremes of the left. The answer is hardly at all, EXCEPT IN YOUR HEAD.
