So sorry to hear Grampy, Prayers for you and your brother.....

Happy Birthday!!

Scorpyd!

Nice Gman, you could open your property for ecological tours......Really awesome!

What does per capita have to do with it? If one area of the per capita is committing most of the crime. Nobody wants to have ever have an honest discussion. They just try to fit the facts to fit their agenda. What nobody seems willing to say is very simple: If you follow the law, you will never have an interaction with the police no matter what color you are...…. Somehow I have made it to 47 and my only interactions with police have been traffic violations a couple time. Did I like getting a ticket? Heck no. Did I give the cop a hard time. No, I used yes sir, no sir, thank you sir, have nice day..... My best friend is Mexican and I have a really good black friend. I pick on them both and they pick on me for being white. Its all joking between good friends. Neither of them have had a run in with the police because of their ethnicity. Neither of them support BLM and they are both Trump supporters. Most importantly they are two of the best people I have ever met and I would trust either with anything. They are both disgusted by what is happening and both have made firearm purchases recently with a lot of input from me.

It was a 3 month paycheck protection program. So whatever their payroll is x 3 months in return for not laying anyone off. You had to prove that your business was deeply effected by the shutdown which at least for me was very simple....

Thank you for the response. Your part number 1. Of course there is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to systematic racism. I can't agree more. There is room for improvement in a facet of life. As far as you never hear of unarmed white guys getting shot. That isn't true. More unarmed white men were shot in 2019 than black men. That is a fact. Was it that way 10 years ago? Probably not but saying more unarmed black men are killed today than unarmed white men isn't true. The overwhelming majority of police are good people. Nobody is saying what happened to George Floyd was ok. I believe like Martin Luther King said. People should be judged by their character and not the color of their skin. I believe there are scumbags, in every walk of life and good people in every walk of life. Your part number 2: I agree with you that police unions have too much power. I think Unions in general have to much power from the police union to the teachers union etc. IMO, at some point, unions went from addressing working conditions for the worker to protecting the bad apples. They have created their own downfall. Democrats are the ones that always back unions. Your part number 3. I am not really sure how to respond to that. I didn't grow up in the ghetto so I have no idea what they are thinking. What I do believe is, you can't government people into prosperity. This has been proven over and over again. I believe there are people in the Ghetto that want to get out and work hard to accomplish that. There are plenty of examples of this. I also believe there are a lot of people that would rather sell drugs then work at McDonalds like I did. (I actually worked at Dairy Queen) Where they have to show up at a specific time and answer to someone. I think there are a lot of people that don't want to leave the ghetto as well. Its the life they know and like. Why do football players that make millions of dollars go right back to the ghetto and get arrested in the off season if all they wanted to do was get out. Why don't the people in the ghetto speak out about all the crime and shootings in their neighborhood? Why don't they protest that crime and violence? I don't know the answer to those questions. Your part number 4. Racism bubbling back up under Obama was true and I 100% disagree that Obama was a moderate. Obama had the opportunity to unite this country like no other president. His message could have been to all the black people out there, see what America can do if you are a black person and you work for it? You can obtain anything you want to if you try, even become president of the United States. I would have respected the hell out of him if that was his message even when I wasn't liking his policies. Instead his message was the exact opposite of that. His wife said it was the first time she was ever proud of her country. I have no idea how you can say Obama was a moderate. Everything he did was to try and equalize people through taxes and health care and the middle class took the brunt of it. How did Obama better your life? In your opinion Trump embraces the right wing white folks, IMO he is just the only one that speaks with common sense. He is the only one saying that the overwhelming majority of police officers are good people. He is saying that what happened to George Floyd was atrocious and has never said anything but that. He is saying that we need law and order in this country. Somehow saying all lives matter has become racist. How is tearing down our history helpful? How is letting looters and rioters tear down our history a good thing? I agree it is a scary time, but not because of Trump. I would still love to hear how Obama improved your life.....

It's a free country, although it is becoming less free everyday. What have you contributed to the thread other than calling people names that don't agree with you? I would love to have an intelligent conversation with someone with the opposite political views as myself but that doesn't ever seem possible. I have replied respectfully to several of your posts with my feelings in regards to them with no response. Are you still looking for an article where voter fraud went for the conservative candidate? I find it hard to believe that if you are a middle class American like most of us here that Obama didn't negatively affect your life. If he was a positive I would love to hear how. What do you want to see as a direction for this country? IMO it should be well proven that you can't government people into prosperity. Do you agree with Black Lives Matter and defunding the police? Do you agree with tearing down our history? Do you agree with CHAZ in Seattle and think those people are patriots? Do you agree that police are killing unarmed black men even though every statistic says that isn't true? How do you think Biden will better your life over Trump? If your going to join the discussion.... Actually join the discussion..

That is awesome! Probably my favorite from all the ones you have done!

The business I run got a little over 50k and we would be out of business if we didn't.....

Lucky you, I had to change health insurance from a great HMO that became unaffordable thanks to Obama care to a 80/20 plan that is making me go broke taking care of my health issues. On top of that he raised my taxes. His urban sprawl program made a tax payer funded bus route from Schenectady to Saratoga so now I get to follow busses like I live in the city and look at all the garbage these people leave at the bus stops. I could go on but it just makes me mad....

How would it be the end of democracy if he proves the election was rigged? IMO, it would save the democracy.....

This is the main reason I love him. Stay out of my life, out of my pockets and don't infringe on my freedoms.....!!! No democrats ever stay out of my life....

Because they always do.....Can you find an article that voter fraud went toward the Republican candidate? I have tried because I was curious.....Hundreds of articles if you search....This is what they find when nobody is even looking for voter fraud....

I don't know either but I seem to run out all the time

@BowmanMike I have respectfully disagreed with several of your posts, pointed out why I thought they were incorrect. Never once said you were dumb or idiotic. Why is it I think you can be untitled to your own opinion and respect that no matter how wrong I believe they are but you disagree and people are dumb? I 100% agree with the Russell meme. I have 100% disagreed with every post you have put in this thread but not once have I said you were dumb or idiotic

Hope was what we had 30 years ago. I didn't like Clinton and disagreed with 90% of his policies. But even I can admit that when he decided to work with good old Newt some good things happened. Mainly welfare reform. Now both sides just attack each other trying to regain power instead of working together. There has become no common ground because heaven forbid you let the enemy get a win. I have had Democrat friends tout welfare reform to me in the past. Like it would have ever happened without Newt but Clinton gets credit. Can let that happen any more.

I think it was 6 feet of film. I could have done the barrel and receiver but I never intended too.

All done! The first pic is off Weatherbys website. The stock was much lighter gray than it looks in the picture. It isn't perfect but for $69 bucks and some time I am happy with it.

I haven't been able to purchase several guns I would like too in the last 10 years. And I had to modify guns I already owned because I would have become a felon had I not. Not to mention all the handgun magazines that held over 10 rounds. Not acceptable imo when the only thing I have ever been in court for is a minor traffic violation.

Really, it makes you laugh that there IS voter fraud. And this is the stuff they find when they don't even look for it..... https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/05/26/voter-fraud-michigan-democratic-official-charged-with-altering-ballots-in-2018-election-n2569417 https://www.dailycommercial.com/news/20200305/woman-arrested-in-voter-fraud-investigation https://nypost.com/2020/05/21/ex-philly-election-official-pleads-guilty-to-voter-fraud/ Those are just the first 3 I found in about 2 seconds......There should be 0 voter fraud.....

They were following the law when the DNC paid someone to lie about Russian Collusion? They were following the law when the FBI used that known lie to spy on a campaign? They were following the law when the were telling the Media and anyone that would listen that there was definitive proof of Russian Collusion, That Trump was in Putins pocket and is guilty of treason? They were following the law when they Ruined Michael Flynn and his family for doing nothing but love and support his country?

I'm not creating an account with the crappy NYTIMES to read an article with a title that ends in a question mark....(an opinion piece from a liberal newspaper. And your other link is based on testimony from Michael Cohen.....Come on...….

I am a Trump supporter but I can also recognize the fact that he is a polarizing figure. But how is he any more polarizing than say, idk, black lives matter or even Obama. If Obama wanted to unite this Country he is probably the only president in recent history that could have. I disagreed with all of his policies but if he had said and touted the fact that yes, an African American man can succeed in the country. Even become president. Martin Luther King was right when he said judge a man by his Character and not the color of his skin. This is America, if you want it bad enough, it is in reach for everyone. Then I may not have agreed with his policies but I would have respected the heck out of the guy. That was never his message. In fact it was the opposite. How are monuments and statues of our history polarizing but painting Black Lives Matter down city streets and on buildings etc isn't.??

Umm, I pretty sure that was exactly their intent
