    Maybe I don’t get the joke. What’s funny?

    Trump would look hilarious, until the plastic steamed up from his sweat and makeup.

    Davis, the ever self-serving traitor, cooked up a phoney argument. Many states never were sovereign like Texas or the original colonies, created instead from U.S. territory. Federal statute is the way out.
    You're headed for the ash heap of history. Grant got it right in his memoirs when he described his meeting with Robert E. Lee at Appomattox:

    "What General Lee's feelings were I do not know. As he was a man of much dignity, with an impassible face, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come, or felt sad over the result, and was too manly to show it. Whatever his feelings, they were entirely concealed from my observation; but my own feelings, which had been quite jubilant on the receipt of his letter, were sad and depressed. I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse. I do not question, however, the sincerity of the great mass of those who were opposed to us ..."

    As if the flag is what holds the union together. Egads.

    Anyway, Democrats aren't burning the flag, so you'll have to search up "the left" for us so we know who you're talking about.

    I wouldn't be so sure. Trump is a bowl of jello.

    Trump looked unhinged.

    Yep, and even Tucker Carlson didn't fail to realize that the idea that Biden is senile is a really, really stupid talking point with no traction because the entire country has observed that it's just not true.

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...wont-win-by-calling-out-bidens-mental-decline

    I called this in advance. In a thread here about expectations for the debate, I said, low level mudslinging fight but one thing will be clear: the Trump campaign talking point that Biden is demented will get exposed.

    It's pretty clear that Biden "won" the debate in a sense, although it was such a low level debate that nobody really won; the nation lost.

    He would not.
    He could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and not lose votes.

    So you support being uncivil and vile name calling, I'll keep that in mind. And if you tell people to shut up in this debate forum the mods will give you a warning.

    Perhaps it is as simple as Beau NOT being corrupt like his father and his brother.

    Not hoping, just know I have mistreated my body, If I make 60, I'd be surprised. I have done some very unwise things in past years, but one never knows.

    The CSA was a terrible idea.
    Many.
    None, IMO.

    What does this have to do with the CSA?

    I have come to the conclusion that on-the-whole a person's longevity is down to individual genetic coding rather than much of anything that happens to a person throughout their lifetime. I don't mean genetics, by the way. I am talking more about the coin toss invovled in individual genetic wiring; why one twin will come down with cancer or topple over at some point from heart disease while another will seldom get sick over the course of a lifespan. Some of the people who spent their existence punishing their bodies, turn out to live the longest, barring walking out in front of a bus. You just never know.

    Attacking the other guy's family is far more vile and disgusting than calling someone a clown. Not even in the same universe.

    I said it was a "good move," not that I support it.

    I would have made a different comment that would not have involved name-calling. It might have been less successful than calling Trump a "clown" and telling him to "shut up," but I would have taken the high road.

    Well which is it you criticize Trump for taking the low road but when Biden does its a good move? Trump was responding to Biden.

    No it's not when the member of the family was engaged in corruption due to their parents political connections and we can expect more if the parent wins and certainly does not excuse the vile FALSE name calling in which Biden engaged.

    Many.

    I was in Germany in January 1986 for a REFORGER, I was surprised there were blacks in Germany.

    Now there's quite a few in some major cities. Approx 10% in some cities in Germany.

    Trump was spoiling for a fight, as usual.

    Europe is changing, but folks I know who travel through Europe still react to how "white" much of Europe is.
