If an entertainer you like attended a function or performed at the invitation of: 1. Barack Obama 2. Hillary Clinton 3. Joe Biden 4. Kamala Harris 5. Nancy Pelosi 6. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (often called AOC) 7. Bernie Sanders 8. Gavin Newsom Would that change the way you see that person?


I’m very much interested in responding to questions and this is a good one.

I start here. why a business or entertainer would put their livelihood at risk over their political or religious views is beyond me.

To answer your question, my view of a person or business is very much impacted by their political or religious view. It’s simple….I can choose to not support them. I write them off and move on.

Tom Cruise was the first for me when he took his strong anti mental illness stance. That is driven by his strong Scientology belief system. But, you wouldn’t catch me at a Ted Nugent or Jason Aldean concert. There’s things about a person I’d rather not know about them.

You seem to be pretty much perfect. If you lived in Texas, would you vote for James Talarico or Ken Paxton. In Ohio, Sherrod Brown or Jon Husted?


Finally a question I can respond to.

Texas…I would vote for Talarico even if he was on life support. Paxton = crooked, unethical and imoral.

Ohio….Brown with eagerness.

I hold similar views as many of you do on a number of issues and different views on others. As one poster on this board said I reject the intellectually lazy practice of calling anybody who opposes Trump on anything a communist. Same thing when the left labels aberybody on the right a racists. These characterizations are for simpletons. I don’t think all Democrats are good and all Republicans are bad.

Would love to invite and hear stories of anyone this is happening to on the 250th.


You’re just looking for something to get mad about. You want to give your idea of a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. The stories you sought never came, but Lord, let one person tell a story of some incident where they were told they couldn’t fly their flag and then your conspiracy is validated.

Which one of you guys are going to get this started? Lots of talk but no action. Btw, taking this kind of action is a great way to get your arse put in prison for the rest of your life. Forget being right, you better win if you do.


You are nothing more than an internet tough guy whose is butt hurt because you’ve never directly stood up to anybody to their face.
If every person is created equal and some would say are created in the image of God, can it be said that no one is better or worse than anyone else?

Maybe the Declaration of Independence and Bible are in error or misunderstood? I mean, in 1776 enslaved people, women, many Native Americans and people without property certainly weren’t seen as equal.

So, it's now legal to make up bullshite, have your leftist state legislators change the law just to make a suit possible, and win based on no real evidence from a woman who has repeatedly, unsuccessfully tried to sue rich, powerful men for 'raping' her.


No, it’s illegal to molest a women.

You don’t get to only agree with court cases and elections when they go your way.
One of the worst things to happen in this country is click bait video disguised as news.

The first thing i check is the source. This one

MostlyPeaceful.media: generally right-leaning, with a focus on public order, crime, and immigration.

Give something I can trust, if such a thing exists.

I learned a long time ago to not try to be logical with an illogical person. Very few things Trump does are well thought out. He’s reactive and skilled at making off the cuff responses and taking retaliatory responses, It’s the life cycle thing. When many of us are 2 we are oppositional and defiant. Most of us learn how to problem solves as we mature but some return to their childish ways. Trump acts like a spoiled 3 year old most of the time.

The amount of mental illness it takes to actively spend time going to the National Mall to root for algae in the reflection pool is off the charts.


The degree of mental it takes to lie about a reflective pool being vandalized when it will be easily proven it wasn’t is obvious. The people who believe his lies aren’t necessarily mentally ill…..just gullible, closest-minded and caught up in a cult of personality.
One of the characteristics of Narcisstic Personality Disorder is refusal to accept responsibly and to blame others. Trump’s claim of the reflecting pool being sabotaged is a perfect example of this.
The best estimates show that over 64% of Medicaid recipients already have full or part time jobs. Most of these jobs don’t come with health benefits.

Some Medicaid recipients are caring for elderly parents, or disabled family members. Unpaid caregiving is work, even if it is not reflected in a paycheck.

The group I know the most about are adults with chronic and severe mental illnesses. At least 10% have a serious or severe mental illness (conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe major depression that substantially impair functioning.

Not all Medicaid recipients are lazy, free loaders.

This solves a few problems 1) it reduces Medicaid costs as people lose eligibility due to income increases 2) it improves economy as labor force participation rises


Such a magical, simple-minded response. You are so sure there are ample unfilled jobs in rural America.

Go back to your day to day simplistic job.
We’ve all had good bosses and bosses that made us not want to work for that company. One of the best leaders I worked for was skilled at relating to politicians and he was respected and admired by the rank and file, so I know that kind of leader it’s possible.

Bobby Jindal had some of the worst leadership skills I’ve ever seen and the worst I ever thought I’d see. Trump has turned out to be worse than Jindal in these areas: Integrity, decisiveness, communication, decision making, adaptability, ability to set up a positive work environment.

I’d hate to work for a company that had Truck as the head man.
You think President Trump would have left all those people hanging in New Orleans like Bush did? No he would not have. He would have had a plan and gotten in there and gotten as many people out as they could. So I don't give a shite if he calls you a loser.

Blue city New Orleans would be one of the last cities in America that Trump would help. Trump would block any help to New Orleans.
quote:

People who hate Trump: "I can't stand to listen to him!! He makes me sick!!" Also people who hate Trump: "I was listening to everything he says and just guess what he said in this meeting he had!!! Makes me sick!!!"


This is easy to answer. During his first term I did listen to him talk. It was like watching a person with a mental illness talk.

So, during his second term I won’t listen to his voice. This was reported in every major news source, so instead of listening I will occasionally read what he says. That’s bad enough.
quote:

You've been watching how Trump operates for over a decade now and you haven't figured out how he operates yet?


I have my own theory, yes. I think he speaks like someone with unfiltered, dementia and I know he speaks like someone with a full blown Narcisstic Personality Disorder. A disorder is much more serious then just Narcisstic traits or “being narcissistic”.

I was curious how his supporters defend this. The answer I’m finding is that these comments are just brushed aside.
At a press conference yesterday Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and called him “the most beautiful-looking man,” then said “he’s like an angel.”

He then launched into a story about Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Trump recalled their first meeting during the 2016 campaign and told reporters that the two men met in a hotel and “fell in love, deeply in love.”
So if the left drop Nate Bargatze that is understandable?
Nate Bargatze is catching hell for attending the fight last night.
