If one is not a “friend” of Bulldog, the system won’t let you post there (per the Chihuahua’s settings)

I

I would rather be on the ground looking up

What are you talking about, Chihuahua?

Explain then why I can’t post there?

Really, Phart?

Maybe I should have said the white guy looked like a plumber?🤣🤣

I can’t? You’ve been asleep for the past 50 yrs?

In May 2023, while he was out of office, a jury found that Trump sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll in 1996. He is still trying to get that verdict overturned.

Jan 10, 2025 — Today, President-elect Trump was sentenced by a New York state court on 34 felony convictions. The following is a statement from Common ...
Well?

Biden didn’t get a pass. He was pilloried during his whole presidency. But, I see you punted. You brought the old argument “Well, he did it too”. Stick to the present if we are going to discuss the failings of the worst president ever. This one. The one that took office on 1/20/2025. Anything else is history.

And you are right. I don’t have an argument. I’m a typical lefty and you shouldn’t be surprised that I pivoted to the “left” and deflected.

starving
/ˈstärviNG/
adjective
suffering from starvation; severely affected by lack of food.

See the world, be happy?😊

I would assume that if I didn’t care it’s not needed.

No. A description is not racist. If I had said, “He’s a fu..king Nig…r, that would be racist. If it was a white man I would have described him as a white man with what seemed wearing a hoodie and pants that were falling off.

You are a rabid Somali chihuahua

He puts restrictions on who can post here. That is indiscriminate
blocking

Okay, so you don’t want me to post here anymore?

It’s funny how you complain about me blocking you for three days while you block everyone who is not your friend all the time.

I’m talking about the balloons

Oh, yeah! Now, thanks to you, I’ve got to change my wet knickers. Bad boy.

Sure, Lookatmine2. The first paragraph doesn’t have traction. I know of plenty of people who need critical meds and can’t afford them and food at the same time. Many times they skip meals in order to afford meds. Have you heard of Meals on Wheels? How about soup kitchens for destitute people? Starvation doesn’t mean dea.th. It means not enough food to subsist healthy.
The rest of your diatribe is not worth my time rebutting it. You are a diehard……something. I’m not sure what. That’s okay.

I would describe him as a Black man who was dressed in a hoodie and wore his pants lowered down to mid derrière. How would you describe him?

He sexually molested women. He is a convicted felon. He’s using his office to enrich his family by billions of dollars. He’s trashing the Federal Government. He’s put the health of this country in jeopardy with his pick of health secretary. He’s destroying our economy with his tariff policies. That’s more than enough.

The difference is in the content.

Exactly

All I’m saying is that depending on the culture, what you think is okay is really offensive

Laugh at an idiot

That would depend on whom you are referring to. I voted for Reagan. That was the last time any Republican intereusted me.
There’s no such thing as a radical left. Just the left.
Your side are the ones that brought The Tea Party in 2007. This movement morphed into Trumpism and MAGA. EXTREME FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS. I suppose you are going to bring up Obama and Biden. Both were fairly middle of the road democrats. And, let me remind you that for big portions of those administrations the Congress was either under the Republican contraorden split down the middle. The last three wars were started by Republican presidents. The last big disaster of the economy started during a Republican president. And now? Biden left the Clown in a fairly good place. It wasn’t perfect but, with a little work it could have been a really good economy. What did we get? Well, I don’t think you are blind.
However, what I or you or anyone has done in the past, the present is what counts.
Please, tell us what great things or designs has the current president done or plans to keep a big chunk of the electorate from starving.

Phart, I copy/pasted this because it’s easier than writing it out myself.

The word "Negro" comes from Spanish/Portuguese for "black" but is now generally considered dated and often offensive in English, largely replaced by "Black" or "African American" since the 1960s, though it was once a term of dignity used by leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois; exceptions exist for historical contexts or specific organizations (like the UNCF or Negro Leagues Baseball Museum) where it's part of the official name.

Should he have auditioned on “The Apprentice”?

This is the real one.

Lonely, I am Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home, through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I wish that I could go back home.

Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed.

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home, through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I wish that I could go back home.

Mama’s bad.

Yes, it is. This is your soapbox so I’ll let you suggest ways to make a difference. I plan to vote against these people in any election that I’m legally allowed to vote in.

🤣🤣🤣are you serious?

Phart, I owe you an apology. I experienced a brain fart. The Somali thing, for some reason I totally forgot about the fraud happening in Minnesota. I was thinking Africa. Yes, these people stole federal funds. Yes, they need to be prosecuted. Yes, about this I do care. However, what do you want me to do other than cheer for the prosecution?

You mean all 7? 🤣🤣🤣

Then go and tell all those that love my pics that and see what they think about you.

I don’t care what the Somalis did with their money.
Nor do I care how generous the Clown was before he became a criminal

Phart, I copy/paste because I do research to find agreement on what I believe and post. I don’t
judge everything as WRONG and dumb and illegal and God only knows what else, just that that is. I know there’s more that can be done, but, not by I or me.
Yes, I can demonstrate, write letters to editors, post here and other places, but, the real work has to be done, en mass, by people that have the power, hopefully in agreement with my views. Right now there’s no such group. The Congress is controlled by the Republicans and they follow the Clown without question. So, maybe you are right and I’m just superfluous.
Now, I gather that you believe what many have said here that I don’t know anything. That all I can do is copy/paste other people’s thoughts and opinions. Fair enough. Maybe I’m an idiot with a thumb, but, I know that what I post is the truth. It doesn’t matter if I came up with it or someone else did.
Here, for the record, are my opinions formed by what I see. The price of beef is obscene. In the last 11 months steak prices doubled. It started because of Trump tariffs making imported beef more expensive. I saw this. Not NBC or the New York Times or any one else. Electricity is up at least 10%. Not saying it because I copy/pasted. I say it because I pay every month.
You want to know what I think about the problem of illegal aliens? I think it’s a distraction to keep uninformed a,,holes voting for a Republican Clown. As long as they are kept stupid they won’t know how ignorant their president is. I believe that the best way to handle the problem of illegals is to get them temporary visas and then create a whole department of judges that handle nothing but this. I believe we have to quadruple the number of judges for this. These judges should be concentrated in the southwest part of the country. I believe that the process should be legal and enforcement should be swift. Perhaps establish a government run airline.
Okay. Let me start with healthcare. I believe that doctors should be regulated to keep their income lower. It’s indecent that people are dying while they vacation in Europe. I also want pharmaceutical companies to not be able to hold a patent for more than ten years. After that, competition would be able to produce similar products at a lower cost. But, the biggest issue, in my opinion, is that they use us to subsidize the cost of meds in other countries. They should be forced to charge for medicines what they charge in foreign countries.
I believe that tariffs are a tax on US, the American consumer. Any idiot with a two year college degree in economics can tell you that, but, that idiot that is our Prez, the great businessman that bankrupted a casino and five other companies, doesn’t know shit about economics.
As far as voting rights I believe that everyone that is a citizen of this country should be allowed to vote. If a case can be made that a person is not competent by qualified medical professionals or if the person is a lawbreaker, then, they should be excluded. There should be NO OTHER REASON to keep a citizen from voting.

Okay, Phart, I given you my thoughts and, frankly, I don’t see why it matters that I did or went to Google and copy/pasted something that mirrors my take on things.
Now, I’m going to flip this conversation. Why is it that you take umbrage with my lack of personal information about my opinions yet, you never tell us how YOU would try to resolve these problems.
BTW, I was a Girl Scout troop leader. I was on call, on campus, during hurricanes for twenty years working at Baptist Hospital. Until 2019 I was a volunteer beach cleaner every year. I participated in toy drives for vets at Christmas. I always donate to the homeless (when I have change). I’m a good neighbor. I keep my home neat and clean and I have helped neighbors who were in need, especially if they had children. So, please, don’t make it sound like I don’t care.

First sentence, supposedly the almighty’s first rule is procreate. You are saying it’s a question of morals. The sanctity of marriage is a well known attribute in our country. Most households consist of a family united in that endeavor.
As to the second part of your post, the story itself is ABOUT FRAUDSTERS. Senator Rick Scott ‘s company defrauded the National Government of untold millions while he was CEO, yet, he’s a Senator from the state of Florida. The Clown was found guilty of banking fraud, yet, he’s President.
Instead of posting negative and limited wrongs, why don’t you post about the good that’s being done?

You make some good points, and the enphesis is on some, but listing these points, or problems, doesn’t constitute to a solution. I read in your blog that you are suggesting a revolution. Maybe you are right, but, a revolution without purpose leads to another Cuba or the Congo. We need more than that. I admit I don’t have much more than waiting until the midterms.

Sorry, are you saying we should have had machine pillboxes set up every 50 yards?

So don’t walk away. They want to be helpful. I’ve been using YouTube premium for years and most of the time they come up with a very good selection of videos I like. The more you use it the more they get it right.

Phart, we all know your views on government help for the poor but, we are taking about something else.

Phart, you are grouping two different actions, combining them, into something that can be true for both situations. A person can care deeply for a bleeding or dead victim and, be also concerned about the LEGAL RIGHTS of a supposed criminal no matter how certain it is that that person is guilty. That is the way the law works and it’s the law we have agreed to abide by. To believe in this is not the actions of a low IQ individual. If anything, this view of yours qualifies you for that tag.

This applies to illegal immigrants too. You don’t want them here? That’s fine. You want to send them back? That’s fine too, but, it has to be done in a legal way. If you don’t like the current laws then work to change them through the participation of Congress and not by the use of a signature of one individual. If you believe this is okay then, this, too qualifies you for that tag.

I can’t change your opinions. I just think that you should consider that the way these problems are being handled are not in alignment with the great majority of the electorate from both political parties. What’s more, this administration has made a huge mess of the economy. Don’t bring Biden into this. That ship has sailed. Along with everything else they’ve destroyed or crippled it’s going to take years, literally years, to fix this by administrations from both political parties.

Phart, you are right. It’s crazy.

Look to me, you are putting the cart before the horse. Government stepped in BECAUSE those cities were out of control. However, in what form did they step in? Bigger police forces? More funds for education? Fighting poverty? More employment? Higher minimum wages? Fairer voter participation?
Those family units that are virtually non-existent are a huge problem. I agree, but, without Big Government, how do you propose we deal with it? And before you say there’s too much red tape and waste of resources (and I agree with that), remember, nothing is perfect but something has to be done. Individual help is needed but it’s nowhere enough. Government help has to be.

That is your opinion, but, don’t you think that 50 +/- yrs, with so many Republicans in power, that that supposedly bad advice would have been given the boot? Even today, a yr after the Clown got re-elected, I don’t hear him saying, “Johnson was wrong”.
