    Very defensive reply to a post that didn’t refer to you personally. Sounds like it hit home.

    Reagan was almost as old as Biden is now when he left office, so maybe he was more mellow at that point. But I don't think Regan was venomous earlier. He also managed to win 49 states in his second election and shifted the political debate in this country for better or worse. The Iraq war (and fairly or not, the economy) eventually caught up to Bush in terms of his poll numbers, but he did beat the Democrats twice, which is more than Trump can say. I don't consider Obama to to have been venomous, but he's another two-termer, and polling suggests he may be the most popular American politician alive.

    I am not sure that Reagan and Bush are good examples to show that Trump's venomous style or brand were better for Republicans (or the country). Campaigns get nasty, of course. That's the way it's going to be. But I think Trump would still be president if he had dialed back his aggression and insults a bit once he got into office. I kept thinking he might at some point. For many, though, I think Trump spewing venom at others was not a means to an end but was itself the end; e.g. a feature rather than a bug.

    Yes, only a bot would be capable of reading a couple of short paragraphs, thinking about a response, finding the speech discussed with a simple google search, and typing 5 sentences. Good call!

    I mean, you did just call me a bot in another post. Mostly, I am just laughing at the guy who showed up here, made a bunch of ridiculous predictions, and has now moved on to telling people that have been here for years that they are bots.

    OK Election denier. It's ok, just because you were wrong on lockdowns, school closures, mask mandates, natural immunity and vaxxing kids doesn't mean you are always wrong, just 90% of the time I guess. Take the L election denier.

    Haha, and yet you never can produce any actual evidence of me being factually wrong on any of this. Oh well. I guess you need to get all of your attempts to make yourself feel bettwr in quickly before the next Senate call, so see you on the next thread you try this on.

    An admittedly off-topic side note on use of the Royal We.

    Tucker Carlson almost never says the word "I." Everything is "we." No big deal; I assume he's talking about his show, producers, etc. But the other night I was watching his show, and when he sneezed, he said, "Bless Us." Twice. I kid you not. Not sure if there's an inside joke about that with him or more of a scripted thing, but it struck me as really funny for some reason.

    /okay, sorry

    That's impressive, but we gotta know how much he billed for it.

    There is a before and after. Potato on one side, french fries on the other. Or, if you prefer, french fries on one side and a turd on the other. Either way, before and after.

    LOL. Ok denier. I produced quote after quote. It's ok. Own it. You were for lockdowns, school closures and mask mandates and you dismissed NI and supported healthy child vaxxing. Now you are trying to weasel your way out. What a complete clown. Just own it Skippy. Next thing you know you will say you aren't an election denier LOL. Oh the "gerrymandering!" LOL. Thanks for the afternoon laughs.

    Yeah, I haven't seen danmann65 in this thread lately, if at all, so I'm probably not referring to him, but great I you have there. He also doesn't reflexively post within a few minutes of every single reply to him.

    You see, as a bot, I misread that strategically. To prove that I am not a bot!
