    Yes, oh god @SlyPokerDog please save me from this man’s insults, lol keep projecting my friend. The only one getting worked up and stooping to personal insults is you, because you don’t like getting called out for being a liar and providing nothing of substance to this community. Get out of here with your snowflake feelings lol. Keep projecting and supporting that pedophile liar conman. Keep it up man!

    I grew up indulging in my grandfathers WW2 stories, he faught the Nazis during the battle of the bulge. The man literally helped liberate a minor concentration camp, and he only told me about it once, and in private. This was right after 9/11 when Republicans (of course it would be Republicans) were downplaying the holocaust.

    He took me aside as a late teen, sat me down, and looked me straight in the eyes and told me the following. He said “don’t you ever let anyone tell you that didn’t happen. It did, I was there. And it was worse than you could have ever have imagined. These men were evil, don’t you ever forget it, and don’t you ever believe it.”

    He went on to tell me in some detail about it. It made quite the impression on me as I heard all of his other stories hundreds of other times, but this story I only heard once, and with literal tears in his eyes. It was unreal and has lingered in my thoughts ever since. So yes, fuck Nazis, and fuck any supporters of that form of ideology, period.

    It wasn't me who edited the post.

    But it would be nice if both of you could stop banging on each other.

    I was lucky enough to meet him, his wife, and his daughter a few years back. Very nice people. I would drink a beer with them anytime. Well not the daughter but remember, both of you are here because you're Blazer fans. So at least you know you have one thing in common.

    Most MAGA folks are, doesn’t make sense to me how folks like that can support Trump.

    I wish my grandfather fought in WW2 so i could use it as an excuse to shamelessly call everyone i disagree with Nazis and fascists.

    Oh wait, my grandfather did fight in WW2. He was in Iwo Jima though, so i’m not sure who that gives me license to shit on.

    Imagine getting so worked up about getting called out for what you support. Anyway, let’s take a break and cool it off. I can see you’re all worked up and @SlyPokerDog asked us to tone it down, so let’s take a breather.

    I thought he did well. He answered questions clearly. When Stephanopoulos kept talking age, Biden talked accomplishments.

    He didn't have any big stumbles or forgetful moments like the debate which is good. He definitely dodged questions about his age. I don't know that it changed things favorably for him, but it certainly didn't make things worse.
