    No idea, pal. I don't waste my time clicking on your links and I don't gauge reality by movie lines.

    You may think that what you're posting here is entertaining. For you it must be. But I don't particularly care for it. Have a nice day, if possible (I know it's been a terrible day for you guys - after all, all the hopes that something, anything would happen and prevent Biden from being inaugurated, are gone... I've been saying, you guys were in for a rude awakening on 1/20/2021... so I'll let you deal with your rude awakening the way you feel is more comfortable for you - that is, mocking a talented, award-winning young poet if it rocks your boat; over and out).

    The poem was flat bad, trite and sophomoric; that's my opinion. I'd say the same if Trump, Yeats or Dr. Seuss wrote it. Moreover, the "Rise" portion is very similar to a "Rise Up" Atlanta Falcons ad. If you don't like my topical opinions in your threads... which are very often full to the brim of highly-charged, slanted LW partisan language? Tough.

    Tough? I'm pretty happy today... it's you who have reasons not to be; I guess this whole thing is much tougher on you than on me; it's not by candidate who left in disgrace, like a pariah. And it's you who came to my thread. Do you see me frequenting your threads? LOL.

    How pathetic does one have to be in order to stoop low enough to snark about a 22 year old poet?

    There was a poor leader called Trump
    whose mob in the House took a dump
    as a result of his crimes
    they impeached him two times
    and got rid of the stupid fat lump

    Just a reflection of those who actually are. Democrats want "unity". Just like they have in China. Unity isn't what this nation was ever about. It's always been the place where conflict is peacefully settled founded on the notion that every one of us enjoyed the same rights and the same freedoms. Unity is what tyrants use to cudgel the opposition into conformity.

    I’m no laureate anything , so don’t jump on me guy’s, but in today’s PC environment, if a young black girl got on that stage and farted the media would likely still be gushing.

    The Trump presidency began with a demonstrable lie about the size of the 2017 inauguration. It ended with the demonstrable lie Trump won the election in a landslide. There were thousands of lies in between.

    Before you once again make assertions about Dems you can not substantiate, I invite you to examine the record.

    "We silence the voice of freedom." A group of Trump's insurrectionists tried...but failed to overturn the result of the election.

    "Mob power is what is the order of the day." What you disparage as mob power is in actuality majority rule.

    "And democracy has no place in the new democratic power." Repubs lost power because in the collective judgement of voting Americans they do not deserve to hold it. That is democracy.

    ROFLMA!!! So stunning and so brave..... her farts smell like roses..... it must be all that melanin that makes her so much smarter than the rabble. I wonder if all the pandering actually works. I mean they objectively do absolutely nothing to actually help the poor minorities in ghettos and Joe will continue that trend.

    Your forgot some context.. The trump administration started with democrats pushing a lie that somehow Trump colluded with the Russians. And that set the stage for the ensuing years of lies about him and his presidency. Thanks for the admission that for you, only the mob matters. Ask the French how well that worked out for them...

    Which made him a multi-millionaire. In what world does "public service" make you obscenely wealthy while the people you "serve" see their collective wealth shrink?

    Is it fair to say that the public education that she received can be called child abuse at this point? Reminds me of how mr Biden signed an executive order that requires schools to teach children to protest global warming... Can they all be Gretta?

    No, what's fair to say is that Harvard isn't a public school.

    Is it fair to say this post is misinformed?

    Notice that if you parrot the talking points of soulless sociopathic globalists, you are heroic and brave. If you counter the message of those globalists in any way, you are a Nazi and you must be censored and depersoned.

    So she had the honor to perform at an inauguration and chose hate speech? No wonder you guys on the left loved it so much!

    It is exhausting to have to respond, again, to this false assertion. And it is an example of exactly why we can not engage in meaningful debate. That is, an inability to agree to the facts.
    As you know I'm in the habit of posting links to articles supporting my position. I will continue to do so but I've come to know you and your fellow conservatives never read them. Suffice to say the factual evidence is on my side, not your's.
