    Every country has problems of one sort or another. But America is the #1 destination for immigrants everywhere, which is the biggest “tell” of all.

    It's good to see you 100% support and back President Joe Biden, and don't like it when people are critical of him or his policies.

    Yes, I support Biden and I think my country is the greatest place in the world. Can those two ideas not co-exist in your little brain?

    Doesn't mean it isn't, either. Might you have a greater nation in mind....all things considered?

    There are many much happier nations who's populations live longer, healthier lives. And are better educated, with arguably more freedoms...

    Nordic and Scandinavian countries come to mind... They don't have the natural resources we do though, so they don't have the economic power. But that's about all we have over them...

    Why would I do that? I make good money and have good benefits, so I can be happy and healthy.

    That I am lucky doesn't mean I'm too ignorant and selfish to see the many flaws in our country.

    https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/9177...s-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye

    Tucker Carlson appears to be made of Teflon. Fox News' top-rated host has been repeatedly
    accused of anti-immigrant and racist comments, which have cost his political opinion show many of its major advertisers. Yet Carlson endures in his prime-time slot.

    Carlson even attacked his own network's chief news anchor on the air, with no real consequences. That anchor, Shepard Smith, quit mid-contract shortly after Carlson went after him.

    Now comes the claim that you can't expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson's mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson's critics. It's being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News's own lawyers in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. It worked, by the way.

    Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

    Sad thing is, he thinks he's making a point.

    "oh, so now I'm too stupid to make a point?"

    "no, I never said that. Why do you insist on making up arguments no one said?"

    "Oh, so now because I have a wife I'm supposed to not make up arguments? Why do you hate the institute of marriage?"

    When Tucker was sued for defamation, his attorneys used the no reasonable man argument. Specifically that no reasonable man thinks that the ridiculous things he's saying nightly are true.

    In other words, those who actually believe what he's peddling are not very bright... his shtick is baldface lying to the dimwitted.

    I've got photos of me and Enis at a local restaurant. I think I've shown them on here before.
