You seem to forget the old talking points are no longer effective. Hence his election win and securing the popular vote. We don't care. He's our POTUS

At least some of us have been consistent over the years. Your turn around from someone that voted for Biden, claiming to be more centrist, then came concerned over his mental capacity to being MAGA head on with support of his talking points, to slamming democrats at every opportunity has been stunning to observe.

I hope by "our POTUS you mean all of us. Some of us aren't changing our talking points just because we lost, We don't care that you don't care or that he won the election and the popular vote.

As Trump's Press Secretary said "promises made, promises kept".

I'm actually impressed. 1000 arrests on Sunday,

Yes all of US. Do you really want me to explain my political enlighlment to you? Pretty sure you don't care and I'm nor interested in the effort.

Slamming democrats? Like this forum isn't packed with primary left leaning members some quite radical if I say so myself. And constant Republican Trump bashing. So I'm sorry if I added some variance to the echo chamber. Perhaps ne a Beerman will fall silent but I doubt it.

I think there is allot of care about the popular vote. Including the knee jerk annoyance of its very existence. Not to mention the repetition nature of some of the posts. So I'll go right on as I will.

We had this discussion where you went into a lengthy discussion of your "enlightenment". So I don't want a discussion about that. My response was to "it's getting old....,the old talking points are no longer effective." and that some of us were still being steadfast in our views and the observant of your "enlightenment" as been interesting. That's all.

I'm not asking anyone to fall silent and I'm sorry if that was your takeaway. Please carry right on as you will. Obviously we will too.

I do remember you saying you missed TMB but what I think you missed was the chance to rub it in that he won the popular vote and the election but he remained the same and is repeating his talking points he's always held (and I often do agree with) and that triggers you. Saying he's won the election and the popular vote isn't silencing,

Funny you should mention the repetitive nature of some posts. How many times did you say "he won the election and the popular vote"? Yes there is a knee jerk annoyance at the existence that he won the popular vote and the election, also a sick feeling in my gut but I've had that since getting was chosen as the nominee but I am accepting of the reality, Remember I was the first to accept it and congratulate him and his voters here in this forum.

I'm moving on and will continue to republican bash and go forward. Some subjects that get beaten down, I will eventually drop out of (which is hard for me as I like to have the last word) such as the pardons of the Jan. 6th "hostages" and the sermon at his inauguration. I need to remind myself that I've said what I have to say and not respond to every post.

Sounds like a deal. Baloney wasn't silent in all ways during his hiatus on the public forum. There are other ways in which to communicate and let me tell ypu, no one is above crude and rude rhetoric. Well leave it at that.

Trump is mentally ill and his voters don't seem to care about his crazy, erratic and reckless behavior.

Trump stops 50 million in aid from the US that was to be used to buy condoms.

I will say this, his press secretary is doing an excellent job and no sarcasm intended.

Hmm, I felt like her answers were well-rehearsed. Like saying something to the effect if the president does it then it's legal, even when it blatantly is not, like birthright citizenship, firing people without notice, and withholding money allocated by congress.

She fits the stereotype, young, blonde, female.

That condom story is wacko.

It does just look and sound like theater, doesn't it?

Yeah, one of my coworkers said one of her employees had to go home because her babysitter was getting arrested. Not sure if she'll be able to go back to work if she has no reliable caregiver for her kid. My coworker is also distressed because of the raids on the other families in her apartment complex. Traumatizing for everyone involved. I'm horrified and disugsted. If it were 1000 arrests of people committing crimes (other than existing in a foreign land)...
