Thanks, Rich!
Glad we finally agree

Positively NO!
But I wouldn't love my son any less.
This is where pastoral counseling kicks in.

Milo, either we've hit a cross-cultural impasse, you and I, or you're playing dumb.

Rich, I'd be most concerned.

No, I'd send him to the guidance counselor to see if they might straighten him out, no pun intended!

I knew once Trump was re-elected he'd crash the economy.
This was correct.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

Scarcely a comparable analogy, Rich.

How nuts is "that nuts"?
If you can answer that one, you're good.😂

@Milo,
And you are playing the Devil's Advocate while simultaneously gaslighting.

To which "you" might you be referring?

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

As a parent, I'd be horrified, as would my missus, but if my child wanted it, I suppose even a shrink couldn't stop them.

Fact remains, Trump NEVER consulted Congress.
Is that democracy??

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

Is this though not Trump's overweening authoritarianism flexing it's muscle once again?
First Greenland, then Canada, tomorrow the world!

Had he lived in our time, he might well have.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

Amen, Alien! Right on.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

Rich, you're missing the point.
Patrick Henry defended any point of view, even if he disagreed with it.

Mixing apples and oranges, Rich.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

The US sets a dangerous precedent with this action.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

Trump made the wrong, if expedient, decision!
Last time I checked, any sitting US president requires an Act of Congress prior to declaring war.

As usual, a la Chico Marx in "Night at the Opera", Trump chucked that one too.

You might not need a Free Speech Amendment, but they do!

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

Don't think you'd have cottoned much to Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia or Mao's China, current North Korea either, Rich ol' man!

You're waaaayyy too "American", with that rogue, individualistic streak.

I loathe the extreme greed of my Jewish co-religionsts, masquerading behind pious fraudulence with equal venom, sir!

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

What has race got to do with it?
Trump foments racism, not I.

Hope he stands up to Sandy Weil and the NY real estate moguls.

The tail end of the Roosevelt Era saw the demise of the common man and the advent of rapacious greed, as in "Wall Street" w/Michael Douglas.

The result? Unbridled violence against random strangers, egged on by indifference coming from the White House!

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

No, I'm not.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

Wrong!
If you felt short changed by your government because you were not rich or had the potential for becoming rich quick, you'd be angry too.
Before Reagan, government did what it HAD to do, not only what it wanted to.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [577]

Compared with Biden, that statement's correct.
If a president isn't helping ALL citizens, it's as though they're helping no one!

The president is not in office to pick and choose from a favored list of Americans, even if he/she.might feel so inclined.

The president is not a child.

Yep, yep, yepski!
Some o' them Michiganders can be pretty darn hellish.
