Say Something Completely Random And Off Topic

And still not a response on the police officer in St. Louis.  You all are  sick group...just so I can clarify here, what you all are in favor of (leaving Trump out of it...I think we get it):

Open Borders

Illegal Aliens (sorry Undocumented)

Free Healthcare for illegal aliens

Sanctuary cities

Abolishing Ice

Defunding Police

Looters and rioters (sorry protesters)

Reparations

Universal Healthcare

Higher taxes

Forgiving student debt

The Green New Deal

I'm sure I am forgetting a lot more...let's start with this.  Please have Biden run on all of these issues, except that he does not want to defund the police (or so he says, while he was coherent for a few minutes yesterday).

Wow...extremely funny.

We might all be Americans but some of us are more American than others

The cowardly enablers of our sick president, "A number of Republican senators dodged questions or were silent on Tuesday when pressed for reaction after President Donald Trump suggested without evidence that a 75-year-old man who was seriously injured after being shoved by police officers in Buffalo, New York, last week, may have been part of a 'set up.'"

yep, also a logical fallacy, as if having conversation and talk warrants getting pushed and cracking your skull, then being ignored from medical attention when you have blood out of your  ears.  Makes you wonder what our taxes are for if not for social services.

You think working in that narcissistic work environment is funny, no sorry, extremely funny?

And again no comment on substance.  You all are clowns.

The guy was caught up where he should not have been. To bad!

oh look mr copy paster is back

"Vanderpump Rules’ fires Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute over past racist acts"

Those bitches going down! (Whatever this show is or whoever they are.)

However, this is more interesting, "Cops canceled amid nationwide protests against police brutality"

(Both from the LA Times.)

"The times they are a changing." I like police, but thank heaven for video cameras and cellphones. Body cams should be mandatory and on whenever a citizen is engaged.

The empty suit is equally as empty above the neck and as illiterate as the conman he is the daily fluffer for. 

His 8th grade education has failed him. The poor bastard doesn’t know the difference in lie and lye, your and you’re much less to or too, just to name a few. 

Hey Naps, it is too bad, not “To bad.” 🤣.  Also, if you aren’t capable of understanding appropriate police intervention for a simple misdemeanor at worse and what a proper legal response is, and why he was fired, then perhaps your 8th grade education is making you look the fool, once again.

Yesterday's case from the 4th circuit...typically, a rather conservative court. Chilling.

Just discovered that there's an actual syndrome that fits Trump's mental illness:  Dunning Kruger. Apparently believing Trump's daily BS also infects those who continue to support him today.

Don't forget Narcissistic Personality Disorder, how much of this sounds familiar? From the Mayo Clinic:

* Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
* Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
* Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
* Exaggerate achievements and talents
* Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
* Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
* Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
* Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
* Take advantage of others to get what they want
* Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
* Be envious of others and believe others envy them
* Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
* Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

* Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
* Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
* React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
* Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
* Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
* Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
* Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

Out of 19 indicators the Narcissist in Chief has a solid 13 and probably parts of the other 6.

"NASCAR bans fans from displaying confederate flag at racetracks"

The times they are a changing. But of course our racist president won't consider renaming the military bases which are named after traitors to our country.

Or he'll issue an executive order requiring all cars to have a Confederate flag!

It is absolutely hilarious that these rednecks truly think the orange conman gives a damn about them or their beliefs. He sells them Carter’s Liver Pills and they love it. 🤣

Look where all this nonsense is going...look at poor Seattle tonight.  A police precinct and roughly 6 blocks controlled by anarchists....and you folks support this?  I’d like to hear from MNeeeley about this as he lives there.  Where is the law and order?  You can never give in to A-holes.  Way to much caving in!  Gone with the wind....pulled.  Just insane and we are allowing these morons to get away with this...I think / hope we will come to our senses.

Bring on the idiotic replies.

damn shame.

Serious question: why do you all continue to engage with napacat? He's a classic troll. You'll never change his mind about anything, so what do you get out of it other than frustration? Your time and energy could be put to much better use. You're just tilting at windmills.

Speaking of idiots, and showing it daily, it is “ way too much caving in!” 

Poor Naps, how many days did he sit with the dunce hat sitting on his empty head during his eight years in school? 🙈

Yet you will not give  a response.  What are these idiot protesters saying now "White Silence is murder"  or some stupid shit like that.  Same here from this fat, white W&A.  Silence.  If you are pleased with what the Democrat party stands for, anarchy in the city (Seattle and others) and weak politicians who won't do anything about...yet keep voting for them, you are a compliant as well.

Better link for you  fools to listen to (that includes you Sunnlea). Prefer to have a like-minded group of people here saying the exact same thing to each other?  This man is 100% correct.

Stay on topic, Naps. When you can’t defend the narrative, you change the topic. 

As for me... fat, clearly you don’t know me. Also, you clearly can’t comprehend what I have posted for years and years on this forum. I’m a life long republican, or what was the Republican Party until recently. 

Argue with yourself all you like. No one that I have seen on this forum has supported what is happening in Seattle, so why reply? 

Let me guess the character you most associated with from the film, The Wizard of Oz. 🤣😂😅

Hey Naps, I know this is going to be very difficult for your brain, but you have had several months now. Did you ever “remember” your name on this forum before you changed it? 

Think hard. 😳

BINGO.  Haven't engaged with napacat since...I think...forever.  Didn't take long to figure out and begin ignoring.

I engage with maybe half of what Napa posts, not to try to change his mind because of course that won't happen, but to address falsehoods or misleading comments. I find it difficult to let BS stand unchallenged.

Also because I enjoy the give and take of political discussions, especially with those who see things differently than me. I do the same with some posts on Facebook from the Manning Centre and some of Warren Kinsella's posts. Better than living in an echo chamber where all I see are points of view that align with my own.

Add General Mark Milley to those embarrassed by what the Orange Turd did and the part that he played in it.

General Milley, "I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

Exactly the perception Dear Leader was going for, with both Esper and Milley now regretting that they too, like the bible, were used as props, perhaps he is smarter than the generals.

Wait.  Trump just...

Holy F-ing...!!!

Drumpf just placed sanctions on officials from The ICC for investigating potential war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan.  

He thinks of new ways to jump the shark every day.  This is unbelievable.  It would be comical if it weren't so scary that we really have a despot in charge.  Jesus.
