Kalimgoodman-- a question for you on media coverage

Oh brother. Here's a person COMPLETELY devoid of any rational thought. The world right now is burning and he's excited about football. I had a weekend where I couldn't watch football - family matters - and just in case I recorded the OU game. As it turns out I couldn't care less about that useless game when we have hostages in Afghanistan. The world is now a power keg and he's excited about football. Our priorities are way screwed up in America with the likes of folks like him and @BSC911 and @Mdfgator and others like them. When you put your head in the sand and begin a political comparison, like @BSC911 did you get the picture of human beings not understanding the world around them. They think it's a "game". This is why it's IMPOSSIBLE to reason with them.

Get a grip, man. This is a college football board. Most of the posters are alumni and fans of Florida or their traditional rivals. If people being excited about football offends you, you’re in the wrong place.
 
He is right, Bolton has no credibility and the only thing he’s ever wanted was to start wars with other countries.
This is what I said would happen and that's why I didn't want to bother with this. Everyone would be a liar, RINO or out for vengeance.

No, you're confused. This is NOT a football board. Duh!

He kind of lost me with the Feliepe comment. Does Franks have a prayer in hell of making the Falcon's roster? I don't know, I don't really follow pro football anymore. Too mercenary and woke to interest me the past few years.

Yep. So many memories. And that is a great song, but like this one better.

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

He did make the roster
 
He did make the roster
Backup or scout team? Franks had all the tools, except one.

Watching Kalim and Ghost go at it is like watching ND play FSU. Wonderful theatrics with a mix of blown plays and unwarranted bluster.

A few thoughts:

  1. MSNBC and CNN are organs of the DNC. Fox is essentially the same for the RNC. Hannity and Trump are very close.
  2. The Afghan call is outrageous
  3. How Biden handled Afghanistan was taken up, in spades, by the MSM. I was actually (pleasantly) surprised. The MSM (in its day time slots) needs to hold power to account regardless of political party. It knocked 5 to 10 points off of Biden's popularity. Yes, the MSM can drive public opinion in the middle.
  4. I actually like NBC (Lester Holt) and find it's reporting to be (on the whole) tough and fair. Give Lester credit for forcing the reply from Kamala of "well, I have not been to Europe either".
  5. Trump was very much in the wrong for asking for political help and (again) showed a profound lack of discipline. He then went onto say it was a "perfect call".
  6. Trump, at most, should have been censured. Impeachment was a Pelosi political move.
  7. Biden, at most, should be censured. Impeachment is similar and looks silly and petty. Republicans are better than that. People should be calling for Blinken's resignation.
  8. Now...if multiple of these events happen, then calling for resignation may be appropriate, but the country should be careful what it wishes for. Do you want Kamala running the country? Pelosi is next in line.
  9. Focus on driving down Biden's approval rating and not looking like "crazies" to the broad middle of the country. Similarly, show the Manchin and Sinema of the world that McConnell is much more similar company to them than is AOC.
  10. Focus on winning back college educated white women who need to really make a hard decision on whether theoretical issues (e.g. abortion rights in Texas when they live in Pro-Choice states and do not even have daughters) overwhelm higher taxes, open borders, CRT teaching in schools, higher crime, higher inflation, etc.

Finally, stop the steal needs to be voting reform as has been done in Texas and Georgia.

Biggest issues in this country is from unchecked migration from the Southern border and not vetting to see if these individuals want to come to this country to contribute, work hard and then, only if necessary, utilize the safety net. That is very different from open borders and calling each social program a "human right". I also believe in closing all borders, very tightly, and then having a rational system for allocating slots based on specific economic needs. If we need more construction workers, then great, set your policy to that. Nursing is the same. Now, most (not all, but most) of these are good people seeking a better life. If you have nothing and have an option for free healthcare, free community college and you pay nothing in taxes for it (at least now), of course, how are you going to vote? I would not blame them one iota.

At the state level, Texas got the voting rules bill right but will set off a firestorm on the abortion bill. People have strong and nearly split views on abortion, so that is a tough one. (I am pro-choice - meaning

I have Ghost blocked, so I have no idea what he's saying to me. I guess he's obsessed with me because he knows he's blocked. Stone cold weirdo...

Now I hope you understand this. I like Biden but he is not above criticism or blame. He's not perfect and nobody is. There will be things he do that I disagree with. There will be things he do that make me mad at him. I'm not and never will be a puppet for anyone.

Also, I disliked Trump and still does. At the same time, I didn't over react or think everything he did was bad. So when you guys tag me on stuff. I'm surprised and not sure why I'm being tagged because I never criticized Trump for everything. It's like some of you need to attack a Biden voter to feel better because you think all Biden voters criticized Trump for everything. There are things that Trump did that I'm ok with, that maybe the media didn't like. So don't be shocked that I support Biden when I'm tagged on certain things. I.e Ukraine. Never thought that was impeachment worthy.
 
In case the last two posters were wondering. No, I am not laughing with you, but rather, at you.

Lester Holt fair….thats funny.
Ghost blocked and independent Woooweee
 
Lester is a racist piece of trash but he's paid well for his hate. He's laughing all the way to the bank.
Now do Hannity and Tucker, my fault ONLY the left bothers you. This is truly what I HATE about politics. People only complain when the side they dislike do something but ignore it when the side they support, do it.

I agree with that.


The entire white replacement theory is blatantly racist. How do you not see that?
Race theories are racist and should not be indoctrinated in public or private schools. No one wanted something given to them simply because of their skin tone, the dream of MLK was the measure of character to be the reason not the color of their skin. To place equity on race is indeed racist and teaching white people are continuing to promote Caucasians over other races is simply not true. The % of Caucasian people is much higher is the reason many are promoted or hold more positions in the workforce. It is not because of systemic racism.

Until you look at the payrolls of .Gov...........how does 13% of a demographic suddenly become nearly 40%?:oops:

Hmmmm....... and CRT is the most racist bullshit going around these days, the Klan can't hold a candle to that.

BLM and Antifa are also racist organizations using false narratives and the blood of criminals to pimp their wares.

I will respond to you as I am the one who "tagged" you with this thread. You were tagged, as you describe, because you self identify as an Independent, and correct me if that is not correct and your opinion was respectfully asked for. You were asked your opinion about media coverage on what seemed like a very revealing phone call made by Biden and you conveniently chose to ignore the question. Not sure why.
As far as political independence, are you a registered Independent, and whether yes or no, have you voted for any republicans in state or national elections. Just curious and if you don't care to answer, that's fine.

The brutal reality is that most "independents" are just people too lazy to completely fill out a registration form and check a box. 😊

I've had said a lot of times that I voted for Republicans. I voted for Rick Scott when i was in FL, Tom Corbett when I was in PA. I voted for both sides and will continue to do so. In 2016, I was for John Kasich.

I have always said that Trump is treated unfairly with the media but that gets ignored. I dislike the man but it never clouded my eyes to how he was/is treated. I don't think what Biden asked for from the Afghans is any different than other presidents. Trump call to Ukraine was fine until he focused on Biden. You just don't ask someone to investigate your political opponent. If Ukraine brought up Biden, thats one thing but Trump brought him up, that ruined his perfect call. The media is too tough on Trump on the left and the right is too easy on him.

I have no issues with people tagging me, I just don't get the people who think I held Trump to a different standard. There isn't anything that Biden can do bad, that I will give him a pass, if I was critical of Trump on it.

That is not the white replacement theory. It is saying that white men should always be the majority and they should do anything to make sure that happen and be angry at people trying to stop it. So in easy words, White rule!
 
Just wondering.........how did you vote for Kasich in the GOP primary? (I'm not doubting you'd vote for that limp wrist, you probably voted for Gillam) . Just wondering how?

WTF is this white replacement theory? Never heard of it until you brought it up. America is by and large predominantly a white country, so naturally they will be in the majority. No different than Sweden. How is that even a movement, much less a theory? 😂

I'm saying no theory is nonbiased. They (race theories are poison) and simply should not exist, we overcome by keeping God at the apex of everything we do, if we continue to be bitter about the past we are making hate our idol and we will never be blessed.

I'm sorry, its called the "great replacement theory".

America is by and large predominantly a white country - That's what the theory is about, keeping it that way.

Kalim - it is likely that our specific politics differ, but I respect that you, in my interactions, strive for respectful dialogue which is at the heart of any Democracy.
