  1. You know, Biden is actually a man of faith and a dutiful Christian (I don’t have to tell you that Trump is neither) … but yeah don’t vote for Biden if you want a president who’s going support the blending of theology and constitution. Biden will respect the separation of Church and State
  2. You can’t suggest I live under a bridge and then get your panties up in a bunch over what you perceive to be condescension. I’ve made it clear that my goal is not to sway anybody’s political views. There are better ways to do that than on an online forum. I’m merely providing a different and more balanced perspective, one that is definitely prominent among less vocal hunters, that makes it clear that one need not have a regressive ideology to be a hunter. You’re asking for pro-Biden bullet points? Well, I don’t know if you have children or not, but if you have a daughter, the very fact that Biden and his administration will fight for her right to retain autonomy and ownership over her body should be reason enough to push you over.
  3. No, the cacophony of Republicans jumping from Trump’s sinking ship for substantive reasons is too loud to single out the “Trump is an asshole” crowd. I can’t counsel you atm on strategies for hiring or growing your business, but plenty of resources out there.
  4. Democrats are plenty excited about Biden and his platform. What’s more telling is the never ending list of lifelong Republicans that have endorsed Biden, not because they agree with his platform, but because of how detrimental to America they have concluded Trump to be.
  5. I’ve never heard of anyone rejecting Trump because he’s and ahole. It’s his ineptitude and inability to rise to the challenge and grown into the job that make folks disqualify him.
  6. I’ve covered this already but it must not have been too compelling to you. Maybe you’ll find the answer from former Republican national security officials more compelling than mine: For the following reasons, we have concluded that Donald Trump has failed our country and that Vice President Joe Biden should be elected the next President of the United States. Donald Trump has gravely damaged America’s role as a world leader. Trump has disgraced America’s global reputation and undermined our nation’s moral and diplomatic influence. He has called NATO “obsolete,” branded Europe a “foe,” mocked the leaders of America’s closest friends, and threatened to terminate longstanding US alliances. Other global leaders, friends and foes alike, view him as unreliable, unstable, and unworthy of respect. Donald Trump has shown that he is unfit to lead during a national crisis. Instead of rallying the American people and the world to confront the coronavirus, Trump has spent the past half year spreading misinformation, undermining public health experts, attacking state and local officials, and wallowing in self-pity. He has demonstrated far greater concern about the fate of his reelection than the health of the American people. Donald Trump has solicited foreign influence and undermined confidence in our presidential elections. Trump publicly asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to assist his 2016 campaign, called on Chinese president Xi Jinping to “start an investigation” into his current political opponent, and pressured the president of Ukraine to act against his opponent. Citing exaggerated claims of voter fraud, he has challenged the integrity of this year’s election, even suggesting that it be postponed. Donald Trump has aligned himself with dictators and failed to stand up for American values. Trump has regularly praised the actions of dictators and human rights abusers. He proclaimed his “love” and “great respect” for North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un, endorsed “brilliant leader” Xi Jinping’s move to serve as China’s president for life, repeatedly sided with Vladimir Putin against our own intelligence community, and pronounced himself a “big fan” of Turkish president Recep Erdogan despite his crackdown on democracy. Donald Trump has disparaged our armed forces, intelligence agencies, and diplomats. Trump has attacked Gold Star families, scoffed at American prisoners of war, interfered in the military justice system, and embroiled our military in domestic politics. He has ridiculed US intelligence agencies and falsely branded our nation’s diplomats as the “deep state.” Donald Trump has undermined the rule of law. Trump has compromised the independence of the Department of Justice, repeatedly attacked federal judges, and punished government officials who have sought to uphold the law. To protect himself from accountability, he has fired officials who launched investigations or testified against him, threatened whistleblowers, dangled pardons as incentives to stay silent, and blocked prison time for a political crony convicted of lying on his behalf. He has impugned journalists investigating his misconduct and has repeatedly denounced the press as the “enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has dishonored the office of the presidency. Trump engages in childish name-calling, mocks the disabled, belittles women, persistently lies, peddles baseless conspiracy theories, and continually embarrasses Americans in the eyes of the world. Donald Trump has divided our nation and preached a dark and pessimistic view of America. Trump consistently seeks to incite political, racial, and ethnic divisions, weakening our nation and delighting our adversaries. In contrast to Reagan’s vision of America as a “shining city on a hill,” Trump speaks of “American carnage,” pits Americans against each other, and stokes fears that “angry mobs” and “anarchists” are destroying our country. Donald Trump has attacked and vilified immigrants to our country. Trump routinely denigrates immigrants and inflames prejudices as he seeks support for his reelection. Despite America’s legacy as a nation of immigrants, he has demonized Americans who come from other countries, even telling members of Congress whose families immigrated to the United States to “go back” to the “crime-infested places” from which they came. Donald Trump has imperiled America’s security by mismanaging his national security team. Trump has dismissed or replaced — often by tweet — the secretaries of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, the Attorney General, the Directors of National Intelligence and the FBI, three National Security Advisors, and other senior officials in critical national security positions, many because they refused to cover for his misdeeds or demonstrate sufficient personal loyalty. While we – like all Americans – had hoped that Donald Trump would govern wisely, he has disappointed millions of voters who put their faith in him and has demonstrated that he is dangerously unfit to serve another term. In contrast, we believe Joe Biden has the character, experience, and temperament to lead this nation. We believe he will restore the dignity of the presidency, bring Americans together, reassert America’s role as a global leader, and inspire our nation to live up to its ideals. While some of us hold policy positions that differ from those of Joe Biden and his party, the time to debate those policy differences will come later. For now, it is imperative that we stop Trump’s assault on our nation’s values and institutions and reinstate the moral foundations of our democracy. To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him. https://www.defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-security/
  7. He also opened up a lot of that land to the energy industry. https://www.outsideonline.com/2277446/public-lands-war-timeline
  8. If you want a relevant video, here's one from Pence's top aid, another lifelong Republican:
  9. Right, and while it remains in the "god only knows" realm, it's just your fantasy. On the other hand, we have direct evidence of Trump's corruption. Here you go, another list of prominent lifelong Republicans endorsing Biden: https://www.defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-security/
  10. God you’re sensitive. “I don’t like this! Post over there!” Get a grip. This is the political section of the forum and we're in a politically relevant time
  11. No you’ve got it wrong, I’m correcting the bullshit. Maybe come November my ratio will shift some. But only some
  12. Truly unprecedented: https://repair45.org/ https://www.defendingdemocracytogether.org/
  13. Ok, one last time. In the absence of evidence that widespread mask use was essential in preventing the spread of Covid, recommending mask use exclusively to frontline workers (circulating air in hospital spaces, frequent interactions with Covid patiens, etc.) is not lying. Once clear that widespread mask use would help prevent the spread, the word was out. Now, I’m not going to be an apologist for this hamstrung version of the CDC. You saw just yesterday Trump once more undermining the agency…this is detrimental. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/16/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-masks-health-experts/index.html
  14. You know, it was the president who paid off hookers so that they wouldn't come forward...
  15. There's nothing contradictory in what I said. I can't keep rewording things for you to understand.
  16. What is there to buy? That Ryan Busse (BHA) is actually a hunter? Or George Cooper (TRCP)?
  17. No, the recommendation was based on a scarcity of evidence at the time that universal mask wearing was necessary. Furthermore, maintaining a healthy hospital staff was essential to prevent the collapse of our healthcare system. The recommendations made sense given what we knew at the time. Where I place blame is in the poor communications strategy, where all these points should have been clearly spelled out. As we’re seeing now, a bunch of idiots are throwing science out the window because subsequent evidence (now very old) showed that respiratory transmission is a much more effective form of transmission than fomites.
  18. That may work at home (though I doubt it) but the "because I said so" argument doesn't hold water in the real world.
