    Yessirree, Bob, we are one month in the Trump 2.0 and so far all of us are comfortably bloviating here on the internet.

    No Lefties hauled off to re-education camps.
    No political prisoners being hounded by DOJ.
    Men are men; and, women are women. Will wonders never cease?

    In the coming 11 months before Year 1 is complete I'm sure we'll have the usual weeping and gnashing of teeth, with most threads containing...
    "Trump could...."
    "Some people are concerned/frightened over _______ policies by POTUS"
    And, my favorite, "Anonymous sources say....anything they damn well please...."

    So, enjoy your lives my fellow Americans. Do your work well - hug your family members and be respectful to those who deserve respect. We generally find what we search for; so, I encourage all to look for the good, look toward your goals; and, don't let the bumps in life stop you from moving forward. Go Gators! Go USA!

    I take it you’re not one of the thousands working diligently and proudly supporting our country thru both R & D admins, to suddenly have their career’s destroyed overnight. Or one of the thousands receiving life saving food or medicine or for their children to see it stopped immediately. Or farmers agreeing to provide a product, agreed to with usda for funds that suddenly vanished. Etc etc. But, maga does have a point - “it doesn’t impact me, or when i look out my window, or impact me today”

    Hmmmm. Let me put this in words you can understand.

    Цель Трампа — уничтожить Соединенные Штаты как демократию, но его остановят, а его последователи будут наказаны.

    So your career has been destroyed, you have lost food & medicine, or you have had contracts that you depend on cancelled and you are trying to convince everybody that there is no major negative impact on lives?

    Im not trying to do anything. The selective quoting you did missed this opening: “I take it you’re not one of the thousands working diligently and proudly supporting our country thru both R & D admins,…”

    The author of that post was mistaken right there - no need to go further I wrote my friend in 2008 that although I didn’t vote for Obama I wished him the best. You can try and stick me in a “MAGA” cell but that would also be a mistake.

    You stopped reading part way through the sentence? I can see the problem here. Perhaps you need to read the rest of the sentence before declaring somebody "wrong" when it appears that they were right.

    Also, I certainly remember that you weren't so zen a few months ago.

    So, someone describes me as “tall, skinny guy who was wearing a Rolex and drove off in an Acura”. I’m 5’ 9” and weigh 200 lbs, have a nice watch (not Rolex) and drive an Acura. Was the description correct? I say no. If the very first part is wrong it doesn’t become right by adding more information

    Thank you for acknowledging my personal growth over the last few months. ;)

    Someone help me out, who was the poster on here that stated that he would stop posting on Too Hot if Trump was elected again because he though that he and his family would be targeted by a second Trump Admin because of his internet postings?

    Your guy is a disaster. He is a Russian shill. He intends to destroy education in the U.S. for all but the richest. Diane Ravitch explains how Trump is a disaster for education.
    What You Need to Know about Trump’s Plan to Close the Department of Education

    Your guy is isolating the U.S. from its allies. His buddy Elon is operating with numerous conflicts of interest. The Ruskies approve:

    Russian state television praised Vance’s speech. One headline read: “Humiliated Europe out for the count. Its American master flogged its old vassals.” Russian pundits recognized that Vance’s turn away from Europe meant a victory for Russia.

    You proud?

    Nice try to reverse the logic there. Technically, he said "I assume that you are not a tall, skinny guy who was wearing a Rolex and drove off in an Acura" and your response was "No, you are wrong, because I have an Acura" and then claiming that you didn't read the rest of it.

    Sure, you were very upset by lower inflation than we have now but suddenly decided that you didn't care because you like paying higher prices or something.

    Wow...what a swing and miss. He stated the exact opposite. I'll call you Gumby because you're twisting yourself and your argument to such ends it's not natural. Technically, your point is called horse manure.
