    Thank you for being stand-up about that. I do know that Trump is a "leverage" kind of guy when it comes to making deals. It seemed to make sense that he could be saying, "Look, I'll give you emergency money as soon as you make a commitment to forest management and thinning practices." I'm not certain, though.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Sure, except he says "This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!" which seems a pretty clear link to "cancel culture." Otherwise, what is he talking about? Boycotts have been done by both liberals and conservatives in the past.

    Hey, while I've got you on the horn, I've never rented out my primary residence. Ever. And, in terms of the internet, we're stuck in a monopoly situation with the service provider that was locked in when our subdivision was developed in 2014. The stupid contract runs through 2035. Attorneys are working on it, though. For now, no xfinity, nor any other cable company. DirecTV is available. We're doing the Hulu route, along with a digital antenna in our attic to bring in a bunch of local stations, etc.

    They're banning MAGA hats, the jerks. I'd boycott them, too!

    If Trump supporters boycott famous people who've spoken out against Trump they'll essentially be boycotting most sports, music and the movies. Essentially left with tractor pulling contests and Jon Voight pictures and Ted Nugent albums.... Would you stop watching the Blazers playoff games or the NBA because they support BLM? Walk the walk!

    I wouldn't equate reminding the world about the death of Breonna Taylor as the reason for losing a basketball game.....c'mon....have some respect...if you're hearing this from your friends....they're assholes...the "some say" trick is Trump's way of telling you he's making shit up to piss people off.

    I have lost count of all the things conservatives are boycotting. Lets see Bi Mart, Dicks and any other retailer who stopped carrying the AR platform of guns or who have reduced any of their ammo. All major league sports. OH I know there is more and these are just in the last few months.

    Typical Trump, doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. Goodyear never said yay or nay regarding MAGA hats. They never said a word about it. Trump just grabbed a rumor and ran with it. Typical Trump.

    Look, just like my wife's politics would not affect my love for her even the tiniest amount, your politics will not affect the love I have for our friendship. Regardless of your fucked up politics I know you to be a good person. I wouldn't use that language unless we were friends so please accept it with the humor that goes with it as I'm sure you and mags and Wookee find my politics, shall we say, fucked up.
