Exactly.
IIRC, Obama has never pushed through a piece of partisan legislation. It has been right down the party lines for the last 4 years or it wasn’t done. That’s not the way to fix things.

He has not been big on compromise, no. But the the republicans returned in kind and it became a clusterfuck…
So both sides are to blame really.

At your age happiness should be that you woke up.

LOL!
It’s better when Alzheimer’s kicks in and I forget who I am, let alone remembering any reason to wake up!

This will be my last post in this thread which is yours after all. If you or anyone else celebrating here care to have a conversation of substance I am ever ready and you know where to find me. I MIGHT take something from here to a different thread if I think it warrants it, but I will not bother you here any more.
If this isn’t a PWI thread now I don’t know what is lol

As a Christian myself, I have no shame in doing what David did in 2nd Samuel.
Those principals you listed are not dead. On the contrary. We’re constantly exercising our rights with our voices, our votes, our will, and our ways. America was not built on a rigid rail, but rather a flowing fabric - much like the linen of our flag! It bends, it certainly waves in the direction the wind dictates, and best of all, it’s resilient!
Keep the faith, my friend.

No.
Freedom is self-determination, not co-determination.
Since everything is now “voted on” The Republic is dead, America, as an idea, is no more.
Well, you had a good run.

You really need to stop with the apologies.

Awesome.
One of these days, you should make an avatar of that supa dwarf on a skateboard. That’d be funny!

Dear Tiribulus,
Isn’t it weird that I feel like giving you a hug? I just find you so sweet with all that fear, grief and paranoia, ehehehe
Like ID, said, keep the faith!!!
In case anyone wonders, that is from Smetana, Die Moldau.
You hear the river Moldau start out as a wild spring, maturing into a wide majestic river until finally dissolving into the Elbe, carried away to the sea.
