NFL Snow Night in Buffalo!

Quite a game in Buffalo - Lake effect snow as the game between the Bills and 49ers began. It’s glorious. Reminds me of those days as a kid playing with my friends in the snow. Great memories!

Hopes for New Board

With a new progressive-only board, I think there’s several ways to make it a thriving, interesting board that’s far healthier and interesting than our current RFL board. I’ve got some ideas, and I’d love to hear other’s ideas, too. I know we have some very intelligent members, who can talk about ide...

Re: Black Friday

I won’t be shopping on Friday, that’s for sure. I don’t like crowds. We’ll probably make our normal trek to Costco one morning next week, and that’ll be the last one for the year. We do make the Costco trek when they open, when crowds are the lightest. It’s nice being retired.

Re: The Donald Trump is Batcrap Crazy and The Leader of the GOP Thread

I did not just write one thing that was in defense of him. Sure you did. You're pretending he's not going to do anything the next four years, that no one is going to be hurt at all. And he's going to do everything he can to change this country for the worse. But then, it's all stuff you WANT him to...

Why is when a conservative opposes an African American or a female it is because of misogyny and racism. But, when a liberal opposes an African American of a female it is based upon political differences? Because the Trump GOP is obviously and openly racist and misogynist, whereas the left is inclu...

The board kind of folded up after the election. Plus none of us are Trump supporters. Yet you were always here to defend Trump and to attack anyone who said a bad word about him. You can never defend what your side does, you just want to attack the left. And we'll do fine without you. We're now in ...

That sounds an awful lot like giving up. Well, Trump and the GOP own this now. They get to prove to us how great their Brave New World will be.

Re: Whatever happened to truth squads?

Truth doesn't matter in Trump's Brave New World. Republicans don't give a shit for truth. Like when they attacked Biden for supposedly taking payoffs. They all knew it was a lie, but they repeat it and repeat it anyway. Trump says it, they always believe it.

Re: LGBTQ+

My opinion is this: First, hate sells. Trans people are to Trump what the Jews were to Hitler - a people to “other” - to blame for all that is wrong in the world. It’s also the backlash to gay marriage. Second, religion poisons everything. They can’t change their minds because the Bible tells them t...
