BTW ---- Could we unban Banks in a couple days?   If not moving on from an old dispute and repeated personal attack was the grounds,  then why wasn't there a group ban for Banks,  Larry,  and Ham?

Reposting this.   I cannot see Banks as the only culpable party here,  in recent brawls.

I’m not even gonna ask why you have any nickels in that quarter.

People egg each other on.   Ban the people who are flaming or ban no one.   I'm no fan of Banks,  just of fair play.

I think you missed the posts that prompted my actions.

I'm guessing I missed those prompts, too.  I'm guessing a few of us missed them.

I see your POV, and will raise it with the concept that because someone expresses that they're being "picked on", it doesn't make it so.

You saw the rules.

You broke the rules.

I deleted the post in question, which makes showing it to you a tad challenging.

Next time, I will screenshoot it and then be able to share it, as needed.

Josh, in all honesty, I didn't see the offense, but I will take you at your word. And it's all good.

We need for Vice President Kamala Harris to connect with the young people around the world, and we need for her to be a good role model for the youth. 

Ivanka Trump traveled around the world and connected with women to promote women in business, and we need for Kamala Harris to connect with the youth around the world.

Kamala Harris can connect with a youth science club in Spain, and a youth robotics club in Mexico, and also youth science clubs around the USA, etc.

And NASA can connect more with the youth, and NASA could sponsor science clubs, etc. NASA can travel with Kamala Harris to connect with the youth.

And Kamala needs to teach the youth good values such as kindness, and public service, and charity, etc.

Kamala has a chance to connect with the youth in good ways, and I hope that she will use this opportunity. She can be a hero. 

Salute,

Tony V.

Rashida Tlaib Slams 'Stay There and Die' Immigration Approach After Harris Tells Migrants 'Do Not Come'

I am beginning to appreciate Kamala more and more as a realist, a centrist, and a fine future presidential candidate. The "squad" does not know how to deal with a clear minded black woman not driven by primitive tribal passions.

Maybe she's realised that Trump's immigration policies were/are the best.
 A proper, orderly, selective immigration system, where the federal govt not people smugglers, drug cartels, or anyone else decides who enters the country.
Mrs bambu's having to have proof that all her prescription drugs were legal, have correct visa documentation, have a valid passport, be finger printed and face captured on tape...before being allowed by US govt customs officials to enter the country...at the Canadian border ...while at the Mexican border it's a free for all...is totally ridiculous...if you don't mind my saying so.

It may be complicated, but if accounting firms can figure asset valuations and taxes annually for corporations that are taxed by multiple entities, I guess they can figure out asset valuations and taxes based on wealth accretion, or figure out an alternative minimum tax for the very wealthy individuals, who have used the tax code to evade taxes.

Pulled from WSJ.com, Peggy Noonan, a Pulitzer Prize winner:

“sometimes good policy is good politics.” [/b]Republican candidates need to be freed to develop policies that address people’s real issues again, not only their grievances. Politics needs to be serious again. Republican Trump stalwarts on Capitol Hill need to be confronted with the facts, pressed on them. “The future doesn’t have to be anti-Trump,” Ms. Comstock says, “it has to be non-Trump.”]If you weren’t appalled by 1/6, then you have given up: Throw in the towel, democracy’s done, its over. Those who know it’s not done, not over, who won’t allow it to be done and over, also know that democracy needs friends right now.


Here is a way to be its friend.

The breaching of the Capitol happened because of a conspiracy theory: that the election was actually won by Mr. Trump but stolen from him by bad people. That theory hasn’t gone away, it’s growing and spreading. What might be called the Trump Underworld—the operatives, grifters and media figures around him—is pushing the theories harder than ever. It’s as if they think he’s not going to be a candidate in 2024 and they’d better make their money now, the window is closing.

 
This conspiracism is bad for the country: It leaves us more polarized and lessens our faith in our systems. It is bad for one of our two major parties: It leaves the GOP with an untreated cancer.

The only thing that can stop it is true facts independently developed and presented with respect—and receipts. How did 1/6 happen; who was behind it, paid for it, silently encouraged it, exploited it? Who didn’t care if people got hurt? Who wanted people hurt? This information is still gettable through deep dives into documentation—phone records, bank records, hotel records, text messages. It is gettable through sworn testimony...

...Barbara Comstock, a two-term GOP former House member and hearty supporter of a full investigation, notes the idea the election was stolen has morphed into “ ‘the November 3rd movement.’ ” She says in an interview: “I do think cutting out the sickness of conspiracy and QAnon is important. Trump-world is invested in it, they are duping good people who are writing $25 checks. You have smart people who believe in conspiracies now, and the ones who are smart are slower to figure out the truth than the ones who are not.”

She adds that “sometimes good policy is good politics.” Republican candidates need to be freed to develop policies that address people’s real issues again, not only their grievances. Politics needs to be serious again. Republican Trump stalwarts on Capitol Hill need to be confronted with the facts, pressed on them. “The future doesn’t have to be anti-Trump,” Ms. Comstock says, “it has to be non-Trump.”

Reposting this.   I cannot see Banks as the only culpable party here,  in recent brawls.

I’m not even gonna ask why you have any nickels in that quarter.

Somebody (a poster who I had never heard of) messaged me and asked the same question, essentially.

They said that thought there was some kind of "white guilt" involved.

Perhaps.

But, then, we know that there are some of us who get different treatment than others in many situations.

Needless to say, I got kicked off here for a few days, which is fine, except there was no explanation as to why.

So, if anyone knows why, just message me.

Thanks!

I won’t bother.

You’re an asshole, a complete and utter asshole with no redeeming qualities or characteristics to make putting up with your shit even slightly worthwhile. There is one thing, so I’m amending the previous statement slightly. You are good for occasionally posting block quotes from WSJ articles. Maybe you should just stick to that.

When you are banned nothing suffers even slightly and a great many things improve.

It’s sad to see you are back, Utley Uno Sad Sack Nutterbutter Motherfucker.
