Yeah let's not act like both sides dont have their crazies...sadly the crazier the better in terms of getting elected right now.
I can certainly get behind some of it...no question. Just like you have come around on the Veep candidate sleeping her way up. This is progress!Quote:

There's no standard like a double standard.

Of course the Dem's don't have a monopoly on crazy fucks. Just ask Republican Marjorie Greene of Georgia about her views.Quote:

The superior court judge, Ernest M. Caposela, wrote that the election “was not the fair, free and full expression of the intent of the voters.”
Quote:
The state attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal, started an investigation and in June charged four men, including Mr. Mendez and another councilman, with the unauthorized possession of ballots. The two elected officials were accused of delivering mail-in ballots that were not theirs and of submitting voter registration applications for people who were not eligible to vote.

Eight years prior, a Paterson councilman and his wife were charged with conspiring to collect and submit fraudulent ballots during a 2010 local election.
Does this mean Trump's mailed in ballot, which he had a 3rd party deliver, doesn't count?
I believe this was the only significant election voting fraud in recent history:

The largest case of election fraud in recent U.S. history took place during the 2018 midterm elections and involved third-party ballot collection. A GOP operative illegally collected and potentially tampered with ballots in a U.S. House race in North Carolina, eventually leading state authorities to overturn the election results.
Facts??? We don't need no stinking facts.Quote:

You are truly sanctimonious.

I believe you then accused me of being a “Trumper” and not knowing what good behavior is all about, in so many words.
Allow me to suggest, if you are going to attempt to correct someone whose behavior you believe to be inappropriate, while otherwise labeling them in a certain fashion, that you have sufficient information about them for the labeling piece and don’t use inappropriate behavior on your part to make your point.
Perhaps you believe your behavior is justified, because you are enlightened? Well, it isn’t. You jumped into the gutter with me. Besides, the Left disparages conservatives all the time. Those recently posted pictures of Palin t-shirts are vicious examples of that. Admit it: you enjoyed and laughed at those pictures. What goes around sometimes comes back around, and it is going to come back around A LOT with Creepy Joe and Harris. It’s going to be bumpy from now until the election. Of course, it will continue to be bumpy from then on in this world we now live in.
So, you came from a good family and you did well and had a good career. As a fellow Xavier graduate, I am truly happy for you. I’m serious about that.
As far as I go, I only achieved success at a prestigious commercial bank, and then at a prestigious investment bank subsidiary, and then I formed a bank holding company with a founder group of five individuals that went on to own a bank (industrial charter; Utah) and mortgage company, and followed that up with other entrepreneurial opportunities, a couple which worked and a couple of which failed (no one bats a thousand, as they say). I did that through my Xavier education, hard work and through a reputation that was built on good character and decorum. I was appointed by the Mayor of Jacksonville to serve on one of the city’s committees. I won’t bother to list some other stuff. Oh, and I came from a good, strong family, too.
You didn’t share where you stand on philanthropy (I really don’t care, since you didn’t find it important enough to post about that initially). As I’ve noted before on this board, my life also has involved philanthropic efforts that primarily include time, treasure and talent provided in the form of board involvement and donations to Florida’s oldest child services agency, efforts on behalf of and structured and miscellaneous contributions to Xavier (to the tune of multiple commitments that have involved six-digit giving), the Catholic Church, and other worthy opportunities presented to us from time to time.
Liberals talk a big game when it comes to charity, and some back up their talk. Others cut checks and feel good and righteous. Same thing happens on the other side of the aisle. I just know that, in my case, beyond the board involvement and the giving to the child services agency, I’ve actually had the pleasure and the eye-opening experience of spending time with the children. These are all highly disadvantaged children and families of all races. If anyone doesn’t understand what our Xavier education is partially about, then I’ll invite them to join me in, as one example, reading a book to a wonderful 9-year old black boy who was looking for love, but whose father put a cigarette out on his forehead and beat him before he was taken into protective custody through the state and placed into this private agency.
