The hardest part of growing old, listening to some of the shit people post, and what Republicans are doing to change America. America has so many issues to deal with, the biggest is we like to kill and murder ourselves. Even worse we have a history of hurting the very immigrants that become great Americans.
Oh, and this counters something else B4 has written about:

Probably because you haven't personally turned on Safari's tracking protectors likely. Most browsers set their default protections to allow 'safe' ... IE- sponsors who pay the browsers for the service of listing the sponsors as 'safe'. Basically it's when you yourself reset browsers to a more 'strict' setting.
mush doesn't like anything above almost open as he likely uses all the cross tracking techniques possible. I have cross tracking and all cross tracking cookies blocked. So 'x' doesn't even load. So, I'll live without his fucking site then.
I've seen enough orangefatass and awww kittens to last the rest of time.
This just did not involve a small period in the history of America, it happened for almost two centuries...
Make that four centuries. From the time Europeans first settled the East Coast.
The more people who don't understand a confusing concept the easier it is to sell.
And that rule works for everything from bread to war.
Well... Safari defends against tracking, and X hasn't told me to turn anything off.
Well, tying everything to the blockchain was a flop, so to generate sales the latest push is AI.
Marketing people.
Almost most of your x links... the first link and then the date is also the same link. I don't know why 'x' is doing this.
mush is playing with the format again. Like I said, he's waging a war against browsers by forcing users to turn everything off, or nearly everything.
I've got a email client that's been around for years and years and now they're trying to make me upgrade this time because they can organize your contacts and shit with AI. Puleese ...
Sheesh.
No, just showing you the dem mistakes and why 1/2 the country is willing to vote against the current dem party....
So that must mean that 50% of the country is willing to vote against your MAGA party, right? In your opinion what mistakes have they made? I'm sure you can explain it.

Well duh, now. And how about all the Republicans who have argued against getting a bill through.
It's interesting that on average it takes you maybe a minute to reply to a post regardless of how long it is. Regardless of how much content there is in it. Regardless of how much time one who was fairly considering the content might take. You know what that alone says about you.
Does seem weird. But I have no idea how AI parses data and why certain items almost always fail. But also there are many 'AI' image programs out there.
Even photoshop is trying to label itself AI.
Seems to be many programs that have been around over 20 years are trying to rebrand themselves as AI.
We really don't need an AI microwave. Or DIY AI blueprints for home birdhouses.
I've got a email client that's been around for years and years and now they're trying to make me upgrade this time because they can organize your contacts and shit with AI. Puleese ...
I see. That is ridiculous.

Fingers crossed. But I'm not counting on Cannon to be that dumb...
B402, You expose your doublespeak hypocrisy yet again. You blame Dems for all and everything and never Republicans. You blame Pelosi for stopping that move when in fact she said she had moved to supporting one or more of the bills put forward. You blame Pelosi yet you do not post any reasons why she was in opposition to the bills put forward when she was. Tell us why she has opposed some of the bills. You don't know why, do you. You are a water-glider like conix.
You blame Dems yet we have never seen you post in support of the Dems who do support causes you blame Pelosi alone for not supporting. Where are your posts heralding the good works of AOC, and others. Where are your posts in support of far left of the Democrats in Congress. They don't exist do they. That in itself is clear proof of your poseur bullshit.
See again:
"Nancy may have done some good, but just take her derailing the bipartisan effort to end stock trading by congress to know where her loyalty really lies........"
And yet again an assertion without a supportive link. Seems we will have to start deleting your posts again for your continuing to copy a Trump thing. for continuing to flout local rules.
U.S. House Speaker Pelosi sees legislation on lawmaker stock trading 'pretty soon'
By Reuters

WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Legislation to tighten controls on U.S. lawmakers' financial transactions, including possibly banning them from buying and selling stocks, could be put on a fast track toward passage, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday.
Weeks ago, Pelosi said the House Administration Committee was reviewing .. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-speaker-pelosi-says-banning-member-stock-trades-possible-2022-01-20 .. several suggestions from rank-and-file members amid calls for a new prohibition on stock market transactions.
"I assume that they'll have it pretty soon," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference. She was referring to an Administration Committee bill.
The top House Democrat added that she also wants to see a tightening of fines on lawmakers who violate existing ethics laws on reporting investments and that any new controls on members of Congress would have to be extended to the entire federal government.
Pelosi singled out the need to include the federal judiciary.
Late last year, Pelosi had defended stock market trading by members.
But the practice has come under increasing scrutiny, in part as social media users pay growing attention to U.S. lawmakers' investments .. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-speaker-pelosis-stock-trades-attract-growing-following-online-2022-01-26 .
Some individual lawmakers' investments have raised questions over possible conflicts of interest given that Congress' oversight duties can allow it to get information ahead of the public, with some members facing investigation or charges.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday joined in calling for bipartisan legislation.
"I believe this is an important issue that Congress should address, and it's something that clearly has raised interest from both sides of the aisle in the past few weeks," he said in a Senate speech.
Democrats hold a majority in Congress, but House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy told Punchbowl News in January that he also backed the effort -- which precedes the Nov. 8 midterm congressional election that will decide which political party will control each chamber.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell separately told reporters on Tuesday that he had not yet weighed a possible ban but would consider any legislation. He added that he does not own any individual stocks and advises members to invest via mutual funds, as he does.
At her Wednesday news conference, Pelosi sidestepped a question on whether lawmakers' spouses should be included in whatever new controls are written into legislation, saying she was leaving details to the committee.
But referring to the overall effort, she said: "It is a confidence issue. And if that's what the members want to do, then that's what we will do," adding, however, that crafting a bill will be "complicated."

Sorry you feel that way, misrepresentation is relative, dems can be accused of as much too....Both parties and the media do it,,,,Its called spin, for lack of
Just like calling all Trump supporters racist....Or any one who disagrees on immigration, gender issues or even for those who are long time repubs....Definitely a misrepresentation of people and its no help to your cause or causes..
You would be wrong then,,,,Just Google 'math is racist'
https://www.newsweek.com/math-racist-crowd-runs-rampant-seattle-portland-opinion-1701491
Trump rigs everything he can.
Hello, trump and his supporters do not think like that, they believe every election is rigged, unless they win.
B402, Your words mean nothing as long as you misrepresent present day political realities of America as you do. As i've just said you could, if you cared to, reestablish a shred of credibility with maybe a couple here IF you began to post articles in support of Democrat congress people who work every day to push those policies you claim to be in support of.
How silly your positions are when you know those Dems exist yet you don't have the integrity to acknowledge them. All you do is lump then in as part of the clique that, in your mind, has let the working class of America down.
And you could make the point that more Democrats support positions you claim to support than Republicans do.
Until you do that you are not even as credible as the more honestly conservative trolls we get here.
I am pretty sure no one has ever said math is racist.
You saying an election was rigged? Now you sound like trump...We still have the best elections compared to just about anywhere....
Trump is trying to court their vote, he is afraid Robert Kennedy is taking votes away him, and he knows President Biden beat the shit out of him in 2020. Trump also wants to stay out of court and jail. He has always been a failure, he knows he loses when he cannot rig the outcome.
Thanks for the opportunity....
No, I don't care. But when did I "post two identical links to X"?
It's obvious what you see this board as, as a board you can air your grievances on.
Aren't you lucky we tolerate it even though you are obviously a hypocritical phony.
And even though you insult our intelligence and our understanding daily.
It's funny, isn't it, how much trouble AI has understanding how many fingers most humans possess?
Sorry, I don't see this site as a campaign rally or commercial,,,,,,doubt the news is covering it either...
How did libertarians get into the picture?
B402, To a bigger part of the country it doesn't. You have been told before that Dems winning the popular vote in recent presidential election is cold comfort to your debunked claim that it is Dems who have let the country down. Fact is more Americans prefer Democrats, yet all you do is post against Democrats. Which obviously for the rest of this year at least can only be seen as in favor of Trump. And you never ever post in support of Dems who actively work to get through stuff you profess to be in support of.
Your positions defy all logic, yet you simply ignore all that and move on, on your own selfish little railway track.
W Virginia is a great example of what I’l- bred people do in governing themselves. Ranking last or close to last in all important categories compared to other states. No wonder you vote Republican
B402, No defense of your position will hold a speck of credibility until you start posting positive articles on AOC and the other Dems left of Pelosi, Schumer et al. And you could wonder why no Libertarian party has ever won government in any country in the world.
No. You are literally not making any sense. AND you for some reason think populists are GOOD.
Of course not, only because you don't want it to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but carry on
What?? You are not making any sense.
No to you it doesn't but to a big part of the country it sure does.....shame you were scared of some words in a debate, you may understand a bit better...
Look up occams razor, once you start over complicating things, its usually trouble....
We all know the Republican mistakes, dems are just in denial about theirs...Shame they couldn't get their chit together but you've been falling apart for decades now...
So, as to the actual topic, populism grows when the elite no longer respect or take into account the common people...Nancy got her ass dusted and dems make a huge mistake calling half the country racist....Not so unlike talking to minorities like its 1960.....
That makes absolutely no sense. As with most of your thoughts, it's vastly oversimplified. And also just wrong.
So you like populists? What do you think of Huey Long?
Sorry, those are just realities,,,,,people like me are stuck with both the stupid parties,,,,,But all your accusations, and that of dems really made me hope for a Republican for the first time.....Fortunately, this state is now red as can be after decades of being blue, so my presidential vote is as worthless this year as last....
It would be easy to vote against you....easy

Libertarian chair: No decision on RFK Jr.
Lauren Irwin
7 March 2024·
Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian National Committee, said no decision has been made about whether independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will join the Libertarian Party’s presidential ticket.
“I’m not allowed to actively recruit anyone for the presidential nomination,” McArdle said on “The Hill on NewsNation” on Wednesday. “I’m certainly friendly with his campaign, just like I am with all the other candidates’ campaigns though.”
McArdle told host Blake Burman that she thinks it’s a wise decision for Kennedy to be eyeing the Libertarian Party.
Kennedy spoke late last month at the party’s annual convention in California and has fueled speculation that he would join the Libertarian Party to qualify for more states in the general election.
“I’m sure we’re appealing right now,” McArdle said of the party’s efforts to be on the ballot in all 50 states.
Kennedy, who began his campaign as a Democratic challenger to President Biden, later declared an independent bid to take on both Biden and former President Trump.
While Kennedy has only casually entertained the idea of making another switch to the Libertarian Party, several sources told The Hill that there is growing support among party members for him to be the candidate this fall.
McArdle said the party has no favorite candidates “right now,” which is “not a knock” against Kennedy.
“You know, we have a very ornery group of delegates. They’re very interested in finding the best, most principles messenger, someone who represents us ideologically,” she said.
“We also have a group of people who are very focused on ballot access, and of course, having Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as our candidate would absolutely seal ballot access for us, but it’s not decided yet,” McArdle continued.
She argued that if Kennedy became the Libertarian Party’s nominee, “there would be an understanding with us that he doesn’t 100 percent represent us ideologically.”
Burman questioned if Kennedy would be using the party to continue his candidacy, and McArdle said it might be a “mutually beneficial relationship.”
Kennedy would get on the ballot in many states, and the party would be securing ballot access and potential federal funding in the future in exchange, she said.
“The Hill on NewsNation” airs Monday to Friday at 5 p.m.
The Hill and NewsNation are both owned by Nexstar Media Group.
https://nz.news.yahoo.com/libertarian-chair-no-decision-rfk-031654822.html
McArdle gave an op-ed to Newsweek claiming that Russian forces were not committing a genocide in Ukraine, retorting that Ukrainians are committing war crimes against the Russian population of the Donbas, as well as saying that the United States forced Russia, and Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.[17] McArdle also spoke at the Rage Against the War Machine Rally, co hosted with the People’s Party, where she called on a cut to all aid to Ukraine, and for Ukraine to surrender all Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.[18] After the rally, the Libertarian Party issued a press release stating that "any speaker advocating for the contrary does not align with our values" in reference to speakers that did not support their "anti-war platform," specifically targeting Scott Ritter, the most radical pro-Russian speaker at the event.[19]

It's no wonder no country in the world is headed by a Libertarian government.
B402, You came to the board lying about your independence, now you have moved to blurting far-right spitballs.
"Like lowering educational standards.....Math is racist, Merit is racist.....lower standards for the military, police.....Blame guns when 17% of the population commits nearly half the murders, so punish the law abiding gun owners.....Lower criminal standards,,,,,,Offender to now be Justice impacted individual......sheesh, if a citizen dares defend themself or others, find away to charge them.....
P - Flood the country with cheap labor when inequity is rampant, then play the race card....Ignore the inflation and say its all good,,,,,Ignore the economies impact on people and haul in that corporate money....
P - Teach all whites are racist,,,,,America sucks always has, its a racist bigoted country, the founders were assholes, not wise men beyond their time, cancel them.....screw free speech, everything is offensive............
P - You see, it's far past economics, its the total loss of common sense.....you've lost your focus on the country as a whole......and like I say, you wonder why...
P - So back to that debate, keep on calling half the country stupid, racist, and that you have all the answers as the above shows and wonder why common people are as tone deaf to you now as you are, and have been, to them.... "
As blackhawks said all of that of yours is unmitigated, unsupported, far-right crap. Every day you expose yourself more as being on the far-right conservative fringe.
When given fact debunking your 'anti-Dem' vitriol you simply ignore it. And your own so-called evidence shelf is virtually threadbare. I wonder if you even read the one link you offered in support of your fact-free contention that Democrats have have moved rabid far-left.
CHICAGO — State lawmakers have passed a bill that, if signed into law by Governor JB Pritzker, will change the term “offender” in state law to “justice impacted individual.”
The proposed change blew up on social media, with some people mistakenly thinking that people who commit crimes would get a rebranding. Instead, it would only apply to participants in one program meant to rehabilitate people and keep them out of prison.
The specific proposed law, House Bill 4409, would remove the term “offender” and replace it with “justice impacted individual” for men and women in the state’s “Adult Redeploy Illinois” program, commonly referred to as A.R.I.
Your link - https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/bill-proposing-change-from-offender-to-justice-impacted-individual-advances-to-governors-desk/
Though one could argue it is politically unwise to put the bill in the poisonous phony anti-woke climate your Trump-friendly conservatives have spuriously contrived, it certainly is not the big deal you are claiming.
See again:
I have the feeling that by "elitism", you mean "education" and "expertise" and all that.
We need elites. We do not need rich scum like Trumpty.

Load of hysterical crap. And no link to support any of it, because you've pulled it out of your ass. The bigger picture that I posted is that GOP is for shit for the most number of people.
P - There are no law abiding gun owners being punished, period. And how can educational standards be any lower than the ones you 'benefited' from?
P - Like lowering educational standards.....Math is racist, Merit is racist.....lower standards for the military, police.....Blame guns when 17% of the population commits nearly half the murders, so punish the law abiding gun owners.....Lower criminal standards,,,,,,Offender to now be Justice impacted individual......sheesh, if a citizen dares defend themself or others, find away to charge them.....

Look Karen, teaching the history of America involves slavery and the 100 years of Jim Crow laws of the southern states. This just did not involve a small period in the history of America, it happened for almost two centuries, you know that is 200 years of American lifestyle. You want to dismiss it because even when I was child it was the way of life in America.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174492656
Well let's see... You began this exchange by saying:
100 years ago, the US took a break from immigration — and America thrived...
So you were referring to the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924, but didn't use its name. Naturally some have different views of the necessity for, and results of, passage of the Act. However, we know that the '20s were when the U.S. began to veer toward isolationism. That continued through the '30s. Remember the ship carrying thousands of Jews trying to escape Hitler's Germany? The one turned away at Miami? Those people were sent back to Germany, where most died in Nazi concentration camps.
We are a nation of immigrants.
Oh, and I said in closing:
Again, read the Wikipedia article, which is only a starting point for anyone actually interested in all this.
Why did you repeat it as if it were coming from you?
B402, Show Dem mistakes while ignoring Republican mistakes. Only in your hypocritical world would
that total illogicality of yours make any sense to rebut my observation that you clearly look a phony.
