The Front Porch / Re: Legalization of marijuana
May 17, 2021, 12:39:16 PM
EXTREEEEEMELY Right Wing jimmyz here....my opinion is...who cares?  Pot is, for the most part, one of the most harmless drugs there are.

It is a missed tax opportunity.  And these folks want to pay their taxes.  And they want to put money in banks.  And they want to be insured.  And they dont mind a little regulation of their product and practices.

Being this weird quasi-legal cash business puts them at risk on so many levels.

Bob,

I was obviously being sarcastic.  And I do think it is personal in the sense that if you belong to this message board's inner circle and you have the correct political views, your political threads will be looked upon as nothing more than a caring member of society.

In the case of harmless ol' XXXXX, he posted several threads that were political whether he wanted them to be or not and has also engaged heavily in political threads so when I hear 'guys I'm not being pollitical' I find it tough to believe and XXXXX gets the shield from the Admin cadre. 

There is a double standard.  Some people get to express their political opinions and get the doggy treat, others get shouted at.

The Front Porch / Spy Agencies and The Media
May 17, 2021, 11:49:12 AM
I don't know if this topic borders on politicism but I'd be willing to bet half the population (and more than half of this message board) aren't willing to give up that stick they've been holding on to.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/15/business/media/spooked-private-spies-news-media.html

In case anyone was completely unaware, spy agencies and media have a dealer/addict relationship.

The intelligence agencies know the media are like a bunch of rabid hounds eager to chew up anything thrown their way.  You give them a morsel and they will run with it no questions asked.  After all, it came from 'officials' and there probably isn't a journalist around who wouldn't be delighted...no, flattered....to be spoon fed some B.S. from the CIA or FBI that they can use to springboard their careers with.

Do you trust your news source when it comes to so called intelligence leaks? 

Oh btw....Not to get political or anything.

Does that includes posts like....


"Gosh, did you guys hear about that mass shooting at the synagogue?  This is not in any way political but can we put gun owners in jail already for being a threat to my life?"

There is nothing more disingenuous when someone says..."Not trying to be political, but..."

Or is the rule that all I have to do is preface my political rant with the aforementioned to get admin approval?

Covid became politicized the moment Trump tried to ban travel from China and was called a racist for doing so.  First shot always comes from the Left so don't complain when a political thread is political.
#66
Fauci says don't castigate those who want to still wear their masks outdoors.  Meanwhile those who didnt wear their masks outdoors were castigated by people dressed like the grim reaper.

The hypocrisy.
#67
Says the guy who wrote that he wasn't trying to be political and also we gotta find a way to take guns out of the hands of these gunowners in the same thread.

I thought Biden didnt want America to unmask until the 4th of July....oh yea, well his economy is tanking so suddenly the science has shifted and you can trust that.  He now has to undo the months and months of fear mongering coming from his side of the isle.  Lying politicians can turn on a dime but the Left can't...they value their street cred too much.  Now they're calling the CDC and Fauci liars.

The left cant stop contradicting themselves because their ideology is based on a very soft and mushy substance as its foundation.

It's amazing Trump even lost supreme court challenges considering he 'packed' the courts with what the Left considers Klansmen.
#70
His weakness and stated desire to see Israel make concessions to Hamas signaled to Hamas that Biden was no Trump. 

Deterrence is peace.  History has shown that. 

North Korea will be reaching out for more money in the form of nuclear threats soon I'm sure.

Basically,  Biden administration gets to approve whether reporters quote them and the article must be submitted to the administration for approval and editing.

This is incredibly fair.  Prepare for the greatest Presidency ever.

I'm not sure it was zero percent, Jimmy, but it was very very low. I agree. The media and the CDC never balanced Covid. Fear was mongered. But part of the problem was the denier in chief who made it even worse and made mask-wearing seem as if it made his followers weak. Seriously, such a sacrifice. It was all about common sense from the get go. Masks indoors. Avoid large crowds outdoors. Do that and you would be good.

Not 0% but more like 0%.

CDC says 10% of transmissions occurred outdoors. 

Bull$h!t.  More like 0%

Amazing how a naturally occurring virus managed to be transmitted from a wild animal to a human, but only indoors.  What are the odds?  CDC says 10%.

Oh Fauci.  What he's saying is....dont wear a mask...it aint gonna do you no good   :laugh:

Does this guy ever tell the truth?  Yeah....but always later.

Trump was the hate magnet that exposed the media for its obvious bias.  You dont have to like Trump to see that.
