OOTB's Political Thread . ..

If you know most large cities are blue, then why are you asking for a comparison or contrast that doesn't exist? "Show me all the land-locked states that have more shark attacks!"

And funny how you focus on Alaska and skip the rest of the top X on that list being red. Cities aren't something we can compare if cities are all blue, but we states aren't.
Again, you brought up crime in inner cities. And that was appropriate since that's were the majority of crime takes place and where the waves are happening (not that crime hasn't increased elsewhere proportionately, it's just not the bulk of the problem). It's not my fault that your topic involves mostly cities with blue policies. If you don't want to discuss these failures, we'll take that as an admission and simply move on.

Are you prepared to condemn the inevitable violence that is surely to occur now that Roe has been overturned?

This saddest part of this is that it only will reinforce the bad man mantra. His appointments allowed this to happen and they failed to keep him out of office or get him out once in. All the while we go into the toilet in every other aspect . . . . .

The rulings of the last two days only reinforce my long claimed position that the most important aspect of presidential elections and the person selected matters due to the impact on the federal bench at all levels. It's the one thing that they truly have direct and singular control over. Of course, this was before the improper abuse of EO's by all presidents at this point.

Personally, that's my favorite part. Trump has his fingerprints all over this until the end of time. I think it works for both sides. Trump supporters get to revel in this and the Trump haters can continue to cry about Orange man bad, which is the reason for their existence.

CNN might actually get some viewership today and this weekend.

I only brought up crime in inner cities because the convo was about me feeling safe, and I don't live in them.

You're the one who posed the red vs blue questions, not me.

Again, violent crime has gone up EVERYWHERE. Not just big cities.

I was only telling you why I felt just as safe under Biden as under Trump. If you want to discuss the fact that urban centers are more blue, have it.

Pro-lifers need to give a shout out to RBG for her steadfast decision not to step down.

So actually both Trump and RBG have their fingerprints all over this.

We're all happy for you that life (and I don't discount the hard work you've undoubtedly done and the wise personal decisions you made) has allowed you to be insulated from the rest of the country and the impact of inflation and crime. But, even pontificating from your non-urban perch, you've got to correlate an impact between political policies of cities run by a singular ideology for decades upon decades and their associated problems. There has to be some connection. The problem is that it will eventually impact you and your loved ones in some respect. This is not the time to go into hibernation.

I hopped on Twitter this morning for all the fun. My enjoyment of liberals' crying is almost a sickness. Cori Bush might be my favorite. I love when that beast gets hot under the collar.

my favorite part of the SCOTUS action is seeing all the lying media and moronic protesters who either purposely or ignorantly mischaracterize exactly what has taken place. I've already seen one article's headline saying that abortion has now been made illegal and I wasn't even looking for anything pertaining to the overturn.

I promise you that a great percentage of the screeching banshees who protest will be echoing that lie, although they will mostly just do so stupidly. Doesn't matter, I hate the truly stupid who don't have enough sense to keep their mouths shut as much as I hate the intentional liar.

There isn't data which pinpoints crime rates on red vs blue gov. It's about socioeconomics. Bosides are wrong then they try to overly-politicize this.

that's pretty damn funny, coming from the side that believes words have to be changed because of how scary they become. I'm talking words. Being afraid of mere words. And I guess because they are so scared of those words, they don't even notice Rome burning.

for those of us who don't media socially, a highlight or two would be much appreciated.

Where do I start?

Andrew Yang is chastising democrats for doing nothing when they had plenty of opportunity to.

Cori Bush is calling the decision racist.

Liberals from here to there are calling for court packing.

Liberal media pundits are seething and calling it the end of democracy.

No one on social media seems to understand that this decision did not outlaw abortions. Because people are morons.

That's the gist but I may link some favorites throughout the day. Stand by.

excellent. WILL be standing by.

I love how the libs can be so clueless that they don't grasp that they are sometimes revealing their own racism by calling certain things racist.

"No one on social media seems to understand that this decision did not outlaw abortions. Because people are morons."

That's what I posted about. They'll be out there with their signs and their chants and their hate and hysteria over something in their minds that has little connection with reality. And the lib pols feast on the ignorance.

That's old news isn't? Does this decision surprise anyone? Be interesting to see if Oklahoma remains the most restrictive though.

Oh c'mon. I need more crying than that. Can you get all mad about it and say how it's the end of democracy? Or say how it's racist? Oooh, or maybe talk about how gay folks aren't going to be able to marry. That would be great. Thanks in advance.

Bonus points if you use "Gilead" in any comment.

I imagine you enjoy laughing at the yahoos on this board as much as I do. Of course, along with the laughter we have to put up with some pretty big doses of stupidity which isn't always fun. Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. I don't know about you but I don't suffer fools gladly, and there are a lot of absolute fools here.

I think what we have are a bunch of the have-nots of society. They obviously aren't well educated, they probably aren't well off financially, and they likely aren't very happy in life which explains why this message board seems to be such a critical part of their existence. It's their world of escape from their sad reality.

Like you, I'm doing all right these days and this talk about inflation and high gas prices pretty much goes in one ear and out the other. First of all, I realize all things pass, eventually. Second, I think the have-nots on this board -- you know, the ones who like to bitch and moan all the time -- are getting what they deserve. Sort of like payback for the previous four years when their man was in office.

I only wish that some of them, even just one of them, had enough brains and wit to invoke some real comedy in their posts amid all of that bitterness. They all try to be funny. If I enjoyed pratfall, then I guess I would find it humorous when they fall flat on their faces.

Then don’t sweat the landmark SCOTUS decision. It too shall pass. Maybe? Eventually? Who knows?

And I can see you’ve had some productive sessions with your therapist. Good for you, lil buddy. I’m still praying for you.
