Yep and I said it was inappropriate, because of the power differential, for the federal government to "ask" a private business to remove posts.

I still believe that's true.

nothing and no one is above me and nothing/no one is beneath me....my perspective is what separates me from the rest of our fucked up society. see you think you are better than the trumpsters whether morally, intellectually, or both. do you really think you are going to change their minds re trump etc? its the same ol pissing contests, not discussions. i ll let you know when a real discussion takes place.

so i retired at 40 and have a lot of interests. i enjoy messageboards....and sacrificing goats to my god. anything else?

Oh, heavens no, I don't think I'm better than anyone. I've got my own flaws, faults, mistakes, sins, etc. just like anyone, and perhaps more than most- "Trumpsters" included. (Side question- since I voted for Trump in 2016, do I have to look down on myself?). I don't think more or less of anyone based on how they vote- I think more or less of people based on how they act and how they treat others. I know plenty of people who voted for Trump who I vehemently disagree with politically but whose actions and treatment of others I find commendable or admirable- kind of the whole "love the sinner, hate the sin" deal except it's "hate the politics (or at least the vote), love the person."

I don't think I'm going to change anyone's mind here or anywhere else, and even if I had the ability, it isn't my aim. My aim here is to further educate, learn, and better myself. I've learned tons on and from this board through the years- from people with whom I vehemently agree and disagree, alike. If you aren't able to do that here, that's your problem, not the problem of any other poster(s).

Congrats on the early retirement, by the way. I sincerely hope you are able to find more fulfilling, more service-oriented, or hell, just plain more fun things to do with your team than read a message board comprised of people you don't like talking about topics you disdain. Life's too short, man!

The Bishop CAN speak to the President about her opinions but others have the right to criticize her. Never said Trump was King and not subject to criticism. I'm expressing my opinion that her sermon was not effective for the point she was trying to get across and not appropriate given the ceremonial setting.

You, and others, disagree. So be it.

It was effective or we would not hear anything about it from the magas.

There was a contested Republican primary with numerous conservative candidates running against him. He won. Trump wasn't handed the nomination unlike Kamala.

That's sad that you actually choose this clown. Though we all know it wasn't really contested. More ceremonial.

Don't know what you're talking about. I've never expressed any anti gay opinions at any point in my discussions on this Board. I'm pro gay marriage and have a libertarian viewpoint on the vast majority of LGBTQ issues.

See this is puzzling, how can you have such beliefs and so clearly vote for a party that is against these things?

Additionally I believe you have made multiple comments about woke culture. From what I gather the rights included pro LBGTQ as woke culture. How do you reconcile that?

I'm actively pro LBGTQ. Equal rights for everyone.

in light of the absolute avalanche of godawful and illegal behavior that the GOP is currently engaged in i think that's a pretty laughable thing to focus on, but you do you.

Can't speak for everyone, but I don't see myself as better than anyone.

If you enjoy message boards doesn't that include the pissing contests as the are a standard part of message boards.

it's complete and utter nonsense.

you don't get to be maga and claim to be pro lgbtq. these things are mutually exclusive.

I am definitely against woke culture and its excesses. It’s stupid virtue signaling vs something substantive like gay marriage. I’m basically aligned with Bill Maher on these issues.

I believe that. Other than the ability to ask some thought provoking questions, he's a fucking idiot. Has been since I used to watch Politically Incorrect on the Comedy Channel.

Trump is anti gay? News to me. Maybe some on the evangelical right but not Trump.

Honestly with trump we don't know, like so many things his position usually depends on who he's talking to.

I've seen video of him over the years for and against gay marriage, so I don't know where he stands.

Sort of hard to vote for some with such loose positions. The kind that seem to flow with the wind.

That’s the problem with anti-social narcissists, they have no principles aside from what benefits them in the moment.

Since this is a #HypocrisyFreeZone, and our right wing posters are never hypocritical in any way, I am certain that Franklin Graham delivering that same exact sermon would have caused equal consternation on the right! I just know it!

Frankin Graham is a huge piece of shit. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and all
