I didn't accuse you (or anyone in this thread) of posting things that are not factual. I did say that most of the posts in this thread are hyper partisan talking points that only consider one side of the issue. Same for the 2-3 liberals that make up the other 40% of the posts on this thread, BTW.

The constant trash talk about Biden certainly doesn't scream objectivity though. Not that he isn't doing a shitty job, but when literally almost everything you post here is a vitriolic diatribe about how terrible Biden is, it's hard to consider your overall position as fair and balanced. I'm not sure if you were one of the ones chiding everyone for being hyper focused on everything negative that Trump did, but if you were, that's doubly rich. I'm not going to dig back through old posts to find it though. I already spend more time on this board than I should. Beats working though.

My main point: literally almost everyone has left this thread except for you, Strange Brew, Bobbie, and Paul. Occasionally somebody else will drop in with a comment that almost immediately turns into you 4 guys bickering. Then they walk away. It's not a debate or discussion, it's 4 guys trading talking points without a lot of obvious effort being made to consider each other's point of view.

I don't agree with MOR here, but I at least appreciate him keeping us updated on what Ku Klux Klay Travis is spewing on the radio on a daily basis.

My trash talking Biden's terrible job is a direct result of Mr. Paul daily posting trash about President Donald Trump. I was no big fan of Trump and didn't vote for him either time, but the unfair BS about Trump, based upon incredibly biased BS from the media was totally unfair. None of the crap that Trump was accused of- Russian Collusion, prepping for a war with North Korea, firing people in the Justice Department, firing Mueller, withholding arms from Ukraine etc. ever happened. Trump was Impeachd over Ukraine for stuff that Hunter Biden and Joe did. Now one trick pony Paul can't get off January 6, 2021 although no one is escaping prosecution and no damage was done.
I am sick of shit spreading that is untrue, and how am I supposed to consider the other side's point of view when it has turned this country into lunacy? No southern border enforcement, unchecked inflation, tricks to perpetuate Covid restrictions that have been shot down in court, education in disarray, etc.
I'm not going to stay silent when there is garbage being spread that TRULY damaging democracy in the US.
Sorry.

Stop it. I don't listen to that show nor hardly ever watch TV news. What the hell is wrong with you, Band?

This is not smack.. the world has a big problem with Putin. He needs to be killed.

If sanctions really are effective, I wonder what it would take for the military/inner circle to turn on Putin. He probably has a lot more to fear from within than he does about what the rest of the world will do.

Not that it matters to him, but FIFA and other sporting organizations are completely blackballing Russia now.

The Ukrainian ambassador to the UN has some suggestions on how that should happen.

I dunno - a former President throwing a temper tantrum, not willing to admit defeat in a Presidental election, allowing the Capitol to be overrun with rioters and trying to put the screws to everyone who's standing up to him?

He's turned this former Republican into a Democrat. GG Baby Trump.

So Trump allowed the Capital to be overrun with rioters? That’s factually inaccurate.
