    Well, the bar has been lowered so much that it won't be hard to improve the decency in the White House. Biden won't keep firing people just to find a yes man to be his puppet like trump has done.

    No, you didn't quote my post accurately. Do you understand what the word "about" means? It's a synonym for almost. Now go back and re-read the post and maybe you might see your error. Good luck johnnyboy.

    That’s true. The media and democrats have definitely set the bar low on trump. He doesn’t have to do much to prove their narrative wrong. That was their mistake in the 2016 election.

    If only they just called balls and strikes, the evil Orange Man Bad would drown himself.

    cough cough. Nice DEFLECTION. What's your infatuation with balls and strikes? At least be honest with your posts as you seriously can't make ones like above with a straight face. Your quality of posts are reaching a new low and similar to a trump pep rally. :bgrin:

    My infatuation with “balls and strikes” is something I’ve had a problem with long before Trump. The media has been toxic since the late 80s. Reporting a narrative or sensation journalism has gotten us into wars we shouldn’t have, division that wasn’t there, and pushed our government to be hyper partisanship. All media are guilty of this, yes even Fox News.

    As for the mistake on setting the bar low. Setting low on Trump is what will make him win. When you create a narrative that Trump is “literally Hitler” puts a lot of burden to prove he is. All Trump has to prove is he’s not Hitler and it destroys that narrative. Works well with the echo chamber, heavily blue strongholds. It’s their “red meat.” Doesn’t work well for those that are average People. Just trying to help... :dunno:

    When I was in Army Basic Training at Ft. Lewis, we had two guys in our platoon that couldn't do anything right. One day they gave the both of them a GI shower which included scouring powder and stiff bristled scrub brushes on their naked bodies. They were helpless because each was held down by several guys and scrubbed without water until their skin was red and bleeding.
    Later, while were were spit shinning our boots this one mean mean mean son of a bitch made a nasty comment that instantly set me off. Now, I didn't like this guy from the get go because he lived in Eastern Washington hated rock and roll and loved country western which I didn't particularly care for. His wife loved rock and roll and would play it while he was at work. So, as he told it, he came home one day to find a rock and roll record on the record player. He grabbed the record and broke it into pieces and then replaced it with one of his country western records.

    So, some of the guys said these two timid guys were not doing what they were supposed to be doing physically. This held our overall score down which we were tied with another platoon for best platoon in the battalion. So, the mean SOB said they should give the two another GI shower. I said, oh, why don't you leave him alone. He blurted out that they could do the same to me. That was a very big mistake on his part. I said if he tried I'd take my entrenching tool (Army personal shovel) and chop his hand off. I meant the business when I said it and he picked up on that. His head and eyes turned directly at the boots he was shinning and he never said another word to me nor did those two sad sacks ever get another GI shower.

    I use to be a little wild but you really had to do something bad to piss me off. I didn't care about pranks and even turned down an invitation to fight.

    Another time, I caught an asshole in my bed preparing to join my now ex wife. I chased him out of our duplex intending to seriously hurt him. As I ran him down in our back yard, he started begging me not to hurt him. He slipped and fell on his back on the lawn late at night. He was curled up like a beetle with his knees chugging back and forth begging me not to hurt him. He cried and had tears in his eyes. When I got to him I grabbed him by the hair and tilted his head back so I could start whaling on his nose and face. I couldn't hurt a man begging for me not to hurt him. I grabbed him by the seat of his pants with one hand and by the hair on his head with the other hand and walked him back to his car. I put my foot on his ass ans shoved him in the car. Then, I told him if I ever heard his name, even if spoken by mistake, I was gonna come and find him and really hurt him. Later, I found out he was driving a stolen car and that he was a professional bank robber who used a gun robbing banks in Ohio and spending the loot in Oregon. He also had done time in the pen. I regret that I never broke his nose.

    I had a very similar situation happen to me once. I came home and my wife was on hold with customer service, so I got myself a beer and read some threads on S2.

    There was a kid I went to school with that stabbed kids with pencils if he got in a fight.

    We stayed friends. Haha.
