    Nobody that did that called those kids weird. That was something completely different.

    However, I wish they'd shove Trump in a special education room away from everyone else.

    Weird didn't bother me. I read lots of books, I was a leftist and avowed atheist in conservative community, refused to laugh at racist "jokes", wouldn't do things that bored me no matter how "in" they were and proclaimed I would never marry or have children. Future childless cat lady! I was weird in that I didn't fit in.


    I was never creepy weird.
    Governor Walz said when he talks to people in the state about their concerns no one ever says ban Animal Farm. So it's weird that some people consider banning Animal Farm a priority. It's some people obsess over what bathroom another person uses
    Lara Trump compared Vice president Harris to a garbage bag. She also posted a video of herself drinking wine while her child is crying. Others point out it's weird a mother would guzzle wine ignoring a crying child.
    Trump's nephew Fred has a son with serious mental disabilities. Trump didn't want to help with his specialized care, saying why not just let him die. It's weird a person would say that about a family member.

    Hey, that was addressed to Sly. But it would be a really weird insult aimed at a woman.

    This issue is really one that woke me up to the bipartisan controlled demolition of our freedoms. It’s why I won’t be voting for any of these creatures.
    It’s true that democrats created and exacerbated this border problem, but act 2 of the play will be Republicans “solution” to the problem. That solution will be Digital ID and digital currency. Basically unmitigated big tech invasion of privacy ushered in by JD Vances homies at Palantir and it’s various shell companies. At this point the finger pointing about the border will subside and the solution will be presented with bipartisan agreement and praise.
    The solution was always the end goal; the problems were simply created as a means to arrive there.
    Take this formula and apply it to nearly every ‘crisis’ we’ve been handed and the empire begins to make sense.

    C'mon, play nice. I spent an entire week last September, crisscrossing the state of Wyoming, up, down and sideways. Just to see what it was all about (having previously seen only pieces of the state that didn't seem to fit together). The southern quarter of Wyoming is most definitely an acquired taste (and boy howdy) but the rest of the state is absolutely awesome. Geology and history on steroids. And a shockingly good microbrew culture throughout the state (though they proudly drink only the lite, corporate swill in the southern end of the state). And the people in general were very, very cool. When they found out where I was from, they would ask if it was as bad as the media made it out to be. I would respond by asking if Wyoming was as bad as the media made it out to be. Then we'd share a knowing smirk and move on to other more relatable subjects......like beer. But it ain't Oregon, and they have reasons for feeling like they do whether we understand them or not. We just come from two very, very different places. But I strongly recommend Wyoming as a wonderful place to spend some quality time.....

    Those kids get called much worse things than that. Those are things we should be concerned about, not being called "weird".

    The republicans have a blueprint for a "bloodless" coup. One that literally none of us regular citizens, would be able to create and publish, without the C.I.A./F.B.I. being all over it. Yet republicans can talk about it, out in the open, as if it is a normal "water cooler" conversation. The authors of this coup, should all be in jail. Or at the very least, questioned extensively to make sure they have no way of ever carrying out their plan. It is insane to me that they aren't.

    This blueprint isn't going away after Trump. It will get passed to his successor. If Trump's backers are so bold as to try this now in 2024. They won't stop until they win.

    I watched Trump for four years. With what I see of our republican friends supreme court, as well as their governors passing bills making their states mini dictatorships. I see what is on the line.

    But, after witnessing our oligarchy literally end Biden's presidential run. Then the very next day, our oligarchy and media coronate Kamala Harris as Joe's successor. I see who is pulling our two-party systems strings.

    When our oligarchy has that much power over our American political system. Who is Kamala Harris saving our democracy from? (If anyone responds to this part, please explain without bringing up the elephant in the room, Trump. Or I won't even bother replying to it.)

    As I see it, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both part of the exact same disease plaguing America.

    How about not calling them anything that can be construed derogatory?

    You know what's weird to me? The idea that the position you're espousing is worth arguing against.

    Trump's brand is insults and name calling. He tells his cult they are the in crowd and can do whatever they want to those who are not - gays, Jews, Muslims, immigrants, anyone unlike them.

    So yeah, the weird meme is a bit of comeuppance. Shout out that Trump is not a divinely ordained hero, not a godlike figure to worship, his platform is terrible and he himself is rather ridiculous. Being laughed at is the thing he cannot stand. It is totally getting under his thin skin and he is reacting by being more and more unhinged.

    Although Road Ratt says he and Harris are alike most of us can see the difference.

    I don't disagree with any of that. But I feel like we have a better chance of forcing positive change with Harris in office then with Trump in office.

    Will we choose to do it? I have serious doubts. But I'm voting for the path that leaves open the best opportunity for the best future for my kids.

    Ive had the same experience in Montana, Idaho, Utah & CO - I covered 13 western states and any island with a US zip code & Western Canada. Great people in all those places but sure, there are bad apples in all paces. They can still have a since of community regardless of politics religion I think its comes with how they view respect.
    Im an outdoor nut enjoy fishing and used top enjoy hunting but stop that some years ago.
