Might be a bit premature to write off America's best ever President

That was an accurate retelling of history. Do you dispute any of it?

McCain was opposed to Obamacare because while admitting healthcare was a mess in need of reform he opposed a "government" solution. Wanted it to be a market based reform.

The republicans ultimately offered a government solution (skinny repeal) and brought it to vote by bypassing the regularSenate process...something else he opposed long before the ACA vote.

That's the accurate retelling of history.
 
BTW, you managed to completely steer this conversation away from the left which does exactly what you're accusing the right of doing.

Wrong. The statement I made that the GOP would run Reagan out of the party if he was alive today.
The GOP is run by the extreme conservative faction of the party

That isn't the case in the democratic party...the extreme progressive wing of the party does not control the leadership

How much of Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc plans made it into the Inflation Reduction Act?
How many of those progressives actually hold leadership positions in the party? Jayapal?

Was Manchin run out of the party for opposing Biden?
No, The WH worked with him after Build Back Better failed.

Was Sinema run out of the party after opposing Biden?
No. She was included in the lead in the Infrastructure negotiations

Compare that to Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger and tell me both parties are the same. :rolleyes:

On the right, if you compromise, you run the risk of being labeled a RINO.

On the left, if you compromise, you run the risk of being labeled a nazi or some other hate-filled moniker.

And? That's not what were talking about here.

We're discussing whether or not a party leader can even remain in the party if they don't follow the wishes of the most extreme members of their own party.

The GOP has shown that is not the case

It seems to me that if one is looking for actual compromise, as opposed to just trying to get their way, one would be looking for compromise from both parties. And as I pointed out, we've spent a lot of time reviewing the term RINO.

Were discussing if parties even allow their own members to publicly express the desire to "compromise"...

Democrats? Yes.

Republicans? No.

That doesn't mean democrats weren't pissed at Sinema or Manchin but they weren't stripped of their cmte. assignments, censured, and kicked out of the party during the term like Cheney & Kinzinger
 
Would the Democrats accept JFK if he was unwilling to call a person with a penis and testicles a woman?...with a straight face I mean???

Check the data...it wouldn't hurt him with the majority of democratic voters

Republicans, Democrats have starkly different views on transgender issues

How would JFK feel about the 87 genders? Would the left embrace him once he reacted exactly how you and I both know he would react?

Check the data....the majority of the democratic party isn't as far left as you assume
All of this just goes to show you how different the 2 parties are right now

Extreme progressive positions DO NOT run the democratic party

Extreme conservative position DO run the republican party


Thanks for the poorly crafted hypothetical 👋

I believe that you believe all of this. We're so far apart I honestly don't know how we can have a conversation.

In that case, in order to maintain civility, I don't know what else to say other than, "agree to disagree" because dissent in your party may well make you a nazi.

That's the accurate retelling of history.

McCain plainly stated that he didn't like either solution...but he thought Obamacare was dangerous and irresponsible. And yet that's what he supported.

Why? Because he hated Trump that much. Sorry, that's not reasonable and that's not compromise. That is scorn.

LOL, first off, the data from your link is from 2017 and the debate was structured on which public restrooms people should use. 😂

I perused the article and there is a DISTINCT difference between the two parties. I don't even get the flawed argument that you were trying to make.

Unless JFK was willing to pretend a man named John is a woman named Sara, he's not getting the nod in your party. The info in your 5 year old data even supports that.

And then you have the audacity to be a smartass with that last line? WTF??? 😂🤣😂

PS...my poorly crafted hypothetical was in direct response to your hypothetical that Reagan would be thrown out of the Republican party.

It's just not possible to have a conversation with you. The hypocrisy and double standard is your baseline.

Yeah...there's nothing wrong with a hypothetical

The difference is yours comes with nothing to to justify it

I've provided what's happened to other compromisers in the GOP recently
Can you do the same about the democratic party?

Hence why your hypothetical is poorly crafted... because you can't provide any proof to it

And NFTs valuations are based in what? Cryptocurrencies. 🤣

Donald-Trump-impressed.jpg
Sigh.

NFTs stands for Non-Fungible Token.

Cryptocurrencies are Fungible tokens.

Fungible means non-unique. Non-fungible means unique.

Each NFT is unique, each BTC is the same as any other BTC and thusly, are interchangeable. NFTs are unique, and are not.

Ergo, a non-fungible token cannot be the same thing as a fungible token.

Your education is complete. I typically charge $250 an hour for consulting and I've wasted about 30 mins trying to talk sense to you. So you owe me $125. Give that to @BSC911 so we can keep his Rivals account current in 2023.

Merry Christmas, @BSC911. Tis the season.

Save your breath...and typing LOL

Who said NFTs & cryptocurrencies are the same thing?


How are NFTs valued? In cryptocurrency
How are they purchased? In cryptocurrency
How are they traded? In cryptocurrency

trump's NFTs were minted on the the Polygon network ( Ethereum-based )
So trump's stolen, photoshopped crap "art" is a cryptocurrency based product

What did trump say about cryptocurrencies? They're a scam.

No wonder he was attracted to the idea...that comes naturally to him

They aren't. NFTs are non-fungible tokens, crypto are fungible tokens. Completely different.

So you can't afford $125? Sorry, @BSC911.

BTW love how you say 'the Polygon network' like you just heard about it 5 mins ago lol Just call it Polygon. We don't call it 'the Rivals Network', it's just Rivals. LOL
 
Bitcoin and NFTs are two completely different things. Just like critical thinkers vs the slow-witted.
Give me the cliffs if possible. How do I take a photograph I own and make it into an NFT and then sell it for whatever the market will determine?

Hopefully its easier than a multi-day/week mining operation!

"The number of users trading and minting NFTs on the Polygon network surged with the popularity of the ex-US President’s NFT release.

So you're too poor to afford $125, got it.

And no, the number of users trading and minting NFTs on Polygon didn't surge cause Trump issued an NFT collection LOL I mean, Trump is amazing, but Polygon has been growing rapidly for months now.

Selling NFTs is mostly about having a pre-built community in place ready to buy them. So if you have an existing newsletter or Discord server or Twitter account with say 10,000 followers already, then maybe you should look into launching an NFT collection.

But if you have no following and just want to sell one to see what will happen, then nothing is going to happen LOL

Which comes first the content or the followers? Not totally discounting your claims but no one starts with 10K followers and content must be developed first.

There are always barriers to entry.

I have lots of ideas and have run a successful business and failed at many more.

I have also done Uber, Doordash and other 1099 ventures after that business started to decline. The biz was bad for quality of home life and my wife was opposed to me rebuilding it after my last client left in 2019.

The quandary I have is the actual fire hydrant effect. There are too many ideas and I cant try them all. The things I have researched and studied leave me feeling I do not know enough to pull the trigger or reveal that the effort is not worth the payout.

I am paralyzed by time and too many opportunities.

I am like a dog in a field with hundreds of squirrels all out of reach. Sure I can chase down one but it needs to have some meat on it.

IOW at my age the next venture must not fail.

Fail? Effort => reasonable profit = success.

My biz was successful in that it put food on the table and allowed for private school but based on my formula it was not a success because the effort did not lead to the profit such effort deserved.

16 years, 6 days a week and nothing by way of accumulated wealth to show for it.

Even at that, chasing down and catching the skinniest squirrel is a waste of my time.

Time that I will never get back and there is a lot less sand in the hour glass.

I run a non-profit, work less than 20 hrs a week doing it and am very happy.

BUT my wife and checkbook are sad. :(

Nothing like being trivial AND wrong 🤣


He also doesn't think this is a spike

Right-Wingers Attack Mike Lindell After New DeSantis Conspiracy Theory

Zachary Petrizzo
Wed, December 21, 2022 at 8:29 PM EST·4 min read

Like all of Lindell’s voter fraud claims that have come before, his latest, centered around a top Trump 2024 rival, lacks any merit. Since, Lindell has begun feeling the heat from his base.

“Everything down to the wording of this makes me think that Mike Lindell is a highly patriotic but extremely vulnerable man being used without his realizing it to discredit real election integrity efforts, which is evil and sad if correct,” conservative pundit and intellectual dark web thinker James Lindsay wrote.

“Lolol,” right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool added.

“Lindell needs to go away,” former Newsmax TV host John Cardillo responded. “He’s being interviewed by a guy he funds, on his own network, spewing lunatic conspiracy theories. DeSantis did well in FL because he did an amazing job for FL. Lindell’s BS is pathetic, and he should stop listening to grifters using him for $$$.”
