  1. Fox knows its audience. I’m actually surprised by their somewhat more reasonable coverage of the vote counting process. I hope they don’t revert to lunacy once Biden officially claims victory and Trump refuses to concede.
  2. No, not at all. This was predicted long before the count. Trump discouraged his supporters from voting by mail, so it’s no surprise that mailed ballots lean Blue. This basement storyline is so dumb. Get over it. Biden can’t get an audience of 5?? Don’t play the crowd size game for Trump, it’s pathetic. How is it possible that Biden won the black vote? Is that seriously your question??
  3. Sure, moron can be a mean word... I'm delighted to see that you're no longer insulted, only annoyed. Progress! You're in the political section on a thread titled "looks like democrats going to try and steal the election." Don't be such a fragile (and sanctimonious) snowflake.
  4. Lol! You’re really struggling there. I did prefer vaginal hunter - it reminded me of my long gone single days. Vagi-boy has a pedophilic ring to it. I thought you QAnon guys didn’t like pedophiles.
  5. Glad you’re out of the woods... and hopefully you can get back in ‘em soon
  6. I thought it was for < 0.5%? Let’s see how the rest shakes out. Hopefully the margin’s wide enough that this wont turn into a protracted mess
  7. SteubenJ! Kinky! I’ve got some friends in the city you may like to meet. ...Try not to be so easily insulted.
  8. What a bunch of cry babies! "Moron" really hurt your feelings, huh? Articulate an argument that I lost, let's see if you're capable. Anyways, Biden takes Wisconsin. If he seals Michigan we won't even have to wait for PA to count all the votes. For now, the count continues.
  9. Good one. I would never advocate for institutionally mandated silencing. Rather I’m advocating for shame to do the job. The hope is that once the #1 cheerleader for the dumb and misinformed is gone from bully pulpit, those who embrace bullshit belief structures will be less cavalier in voicing them.
  10. More unintelligible gibberish. There is no “both sides.” Whatever nonsense comparison you’re struggling to draw is a total false equivalence. I really hope this clown loses if only to give the Republican party a chance to do some extensive damage control and to silence the morons who have no business chiming in. But alas, we wait
  11. Beating an incumbent outside of a landslide is a loss? Let’s wait the count out before resuming the brainless back and forth
  12. I agree, Trump has missed many messaging and leadership opportunities. Let’s hope his tenure ends today.
  13. Cute Edit add-on. I like the message but don’t get emotional. I am a member of both (plus a few others). Here’s what these have to say about the Trump admin: https://www.backcountryhunters.org/forest_service_moves_to_open_development_in_alaska_roadless_area https://www.trcp.org/2020/10/29/major-conservation-rollbacks-finalized-alaska-despite-opposition-hunters-anglers/ https://www.backcountryhunters.org/acting_blm_director_pendley_removed_following_lawsuit_bha_responds
  14. I don’t know what you’re trying to argue... It doesn’t get you very far if you expand public land acreage and then remove its protections. The bill was bipartisan and that was the only way it was going to get through. How great would it be if more necessary bills brought the parties together? Nevertheless, you credit Trump with signing it. We should be clear that whatever pat on the back you want to dole out to Trump comes with the caveat that not only was he not engaged in negotiating the bill, he was actually clueless about it.
  15. Trump gets credit for not blundering the opportunity to sign a terrific bipartisan bill that protects public access. In the days leading up it, Trump was asked about the bill at a press conference and he said he didn’t know about it. We can give Trump JR credit for informing his father by speaking in his language (tweet). This Republican Administration has been disastrous for public lands. From opening industry access to protected lands to the debacles with the department of interior and bureau of land management, their actions have been a huge setback. Here are a couple of a good examples: https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/policy-and-legislation/how-changes-to-the-clean-water-act-affect-hunters-and-anglers https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2020/oct/26/revealed-trump-public-lands-oil-drilling
  16. Republicans have been working hard to chip away at public lands. If you’re concerned about hunting access, vote for Biden. The American model of conservation (public access and public, not private, ownership of wildlife) is nothing like the European model. But I understand your fears. The Republicans have been trying hard to erode our access to public lands for the profit of a small group of folks providing campaign funds.
  17. 2A has nothing to do, with hunting . -Not at all what I said Gun owners outnumber hunters by 20 fold , if hunters don’t want to support 2A then we’ll crush hunting . -Let’s be honestly your crushing days are long behind you The AR is the number one rifle in the US , you really want us on your side , but whatever , I certainly can get behind banning the “ sniper rifles “ that hunters use . -ARs are popular but constitute a small fraction of total firearms out there. The AR is badly losing the PR battle and tantrums like yours certainly don’t help its cause. I’m of the mindset that groups who urge us to arm teachers and clowns who regard the AR as a central part of their identity actually taint gun ownership and imperil gun rights in this country. oh and someday added restrictions, lol where have you been ? -Fingers crossed that Biden wins today! If you’re concerned about your mag capacity, write a letter to your reps. Certainly more useful than threatening retribution to hunters and sportsman and fantasizing about your “crushing” days.
  18. I am an outspoken advocate for legal access to firearms for hunters and sportsmen and women. I don’t lose much sleep at the prospect that doomsday preppers or AR aficionados may someday have to contend with added restrictions. My statement “ I would take some minor legislative hurdles and a healthy ecosystem any day over unregulated access to firearms and nothing to hunt.” refers to opposing trajectories effectively articulated/implied by the 2 parties. Compel your Republican officials to take the environment seriously and you may actually alter this binary trajectory. You mention several legislative hurdles dealing with folks transferring guns to family, etc, as common. I maintain that these challenges are rare and easy to a navigate through if the gun owner/recipient are legal (ie. no criminal record). Gun owners are not all hapless observers. This notion that the only obvious next step will be to disarm America is ridiculous. That is the actual fiction that you’re being fed and that you must guard against. If the goal is to safeguard the 2nd amendment, I guarantee you that fighting for unfettered access to high capacity magazines will not get you there. I propose the alternative to ensuring legal access to firearms: Act to normalize gun ownership by 1- not being a nut, 2- welcoming and introducing diverse members of your local non-shooting community to the sport that we at huntingNY enjoy so much, shooting and hunting.
