    Nevermind, sorry. Yours was a question rather than a statement. All good. Now go buy one-a-dem MAGA flags! :biglaugh:

    I would rather pay out of pocket for a colonoscopy than buy a MAGA flag. I'm not joking.

    I would rather spend Halloween dressed as a nanny at Ruben Patterson's Halloween party than buy a MAGA flag.

    To be fair, a colonoscopy could be useful.

    Exactly. At least it would be good for my longterm health. As opposed to the certain aneurysm I would get from buying MAGA gear.

    Personally I believe this was great.
    The Declaration states, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….”

    Unfortunately, it took like 15 minutes for them to be unable to follow through with that towards women and Black people, and pretty much anyone who did things they didn't like.

    Let's not forget the way natives were treated.

    Sure, though some of that was way outside their knowledge base (with diseases and how they spread amongst Native Americans). - Not really making excuses for them, but there's a lot of stuff I'm kind of fuzzy on with Native American history (my grandmother on my Dad's side was Cherokee) and there are some interesting family stories passed down.

    I would still stand by that I think that, that particular line is a very good line of thinking to start with.

    Someone needs to sit you down and explains to you the difference between colon cancer and children.

    so the MAGA hats and all the other MAGA crap is really just a bullshit slogan you trumpers have bought into. Thanks for the clarification.

    Or stealing all of their land, breaking treaties, forced relocation, and planned genocide.

    Made much easier once the source of food warmth and shelter was gone....Bison manure was used for fire at the tepee and cooking area...hide for blankets and shelters...bones for tools...our govt paid cowboys to wipe them out

    Look, I'm going to be straight-up with you, Cuparooskie: Trump has let me down in many, many ways. I will acknowledge that and you can make it part of your signature if you'd like. It makes no difference to moi.

    That said, Big D's original premise of draining the swamp, etc., etc., etc. was (is still) a very compelling one. Washington is corrupt beyond anyone's imaginations! It spreads completely across party lines! The thing is, he's probably just become "too" much of a cowboy for many. Is he corrupt/criminal? Maybe so. Does he still have those original aspirations of MAGA? Perhaps. I'm still hoping so. Deep down, I think he's still striving for the USA to be a "country on a hill". Call it nationalism. Call it what you'd like. I believe the guy completely has our national interests in mind with every decision he makes. Time loves a hero. He may end up falling into that category. We shall see. Sorry about the lame cliche'.

    Meanwhile, the pendulum continues to swing. We are in very, very interesting, if not volatile, times.
