Transition lines? what do you mean?

No, no , no , Lefty; stay on topic now !! We’re talking about how great Trump was and making fun of Alfred e Neumann (a.k.a) Pete Buttegieg!!

Tell me about it !! He’s smart , competent , accomplished AND Funny!! I think you should vote for him next time around !!! https://youtu.be/WGWDzpUnnys

Uhhhh...no; he got smoked. Methinks Massie masterfully pointed out how shortsighted and imprudent their EV policy is and since buttegieg is Tranpsortation secretary , he's the point guy on this!! NO WAY the current grid infrastructure will be capable of handling that electrical usage load, especially in the summertime when people are using AC all the time. I wouldnt hire this guy to run a lemonade stand!! As my man Trump so artfully put it: Alfred E. Newman will NOT be President!! Lets hope his words are prophetic!! (Talk about a punchable face, right!!!)

I do believe that Buttiegieg got smoked big time last month by My man Rep. Massie from Kentucky when he appeared before congress to defend the administrations Ill conceived hare brained policy decision to force mass conversion of the American auto fleet from gas to electric in like , 10 years or something ? Check it !!

Youre in error- they are very studly

Why do you say that , Lefty ?It doesn’t make you uncomfortable when a guy calls another guy a stud, does it?

Desantis be another Stud in my pantheon of Studeities ; Right behind my man Trump !!

That’s cuz they livin in a red state , Sir !! Lol

Yes, me too .

You got me there Splitear!!

But we can move away from it by calling each other out on boorish behavior , and that’s what I’m trying to say here !! In response to your query about Cheney being called an asshat , again , it a little different because Lefty pulled out a politician from the right that wasn’t even part of the original discussion !! However , I see you’re point and won’t deny it would bother me less if she was called one by a never on my political side because I actually do think she is one lol) but wouldn’t not choose to use that kind of diction in my discussion because , again , it’s is counterproductive . I do feel that as always , you and I are NOT that far apart in terms of our view of proper decorum , even if we may disagree politically and could have a robust debate without disrespecting one another .

Well , Lefty , according to you they don’t - I happen to disagree.

But you don’t what I’m referring to here and jumped into the fray before understanding fully . I was talking about sound mature , political discourse when we converse with each other ; that’s what I’m referring to . Look: anybody can jump on here and start calling each other or any politician from the “ other side “ names - that’s easy . My point was that it’s unproductive and a waste of time . Earlier on in the thread , Lefty was refuting my claim that Cheney was a traitor and posted an ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT missive on party loyalty / factionalism and what’s wrong with the system . I was impressed and was going to concede his point ; unfortunately, he follows it up in a subsequent post with an out of left field ( get it ?) attack on Rand Paul who wasn’t even part of the original convo , calling him an Asshat!! That’s what I’m referring to . And I don’t care what you say , in my opinion , that kind of foolishness is almost always done by posters here arguing from the lefts POV . When they argue , they resort to name calling - I don’t like that and find that counterproductive.

Go back to energy independence like we were under Trump would be nice !!

Well, since youve injected yourself into the dialogue , my friend, I would recommend you go back and read the entire thread and see for yourself what Im referring to; if your as objective and fair as you claim ( and I actuaslly think you are more often than not) , you will see that it is not quite the same thing

I dont know if Id characterize my defense of him here in this thread as "hanging my hat on him"; I just think hes a solid stand up guy and a very good leader of the party - intelligent, pricnipled , etc. In regards to the Boehner thing, I have not; can you give me a brief overview , though? Even if youre right about the cuckold thing ,whioh is highly debateble, Im sure, is that what leads you to conclude hes an Asshat? are there any other reasons you can point out why you would characterize him as such? With buttegieg , its simple: Hes an environmental wacko extremist who doesnt have a clue ( in my opinion) how the economy works and who also prioritizes enviornmental policy over people. I do believe that the citizens of South Bend were not overly saddened to see him depart when he left for washington some time back.

Thats in the Political humor section Leland and is meant to be for political memes (I think). Im talking about specific and direct dialogue between members engaged in a discussion. btw, I dont think I ever stated that both sides cant be guilty of going low; I just think its more common to be perped by those on the Left but if im wrong, show me!!

Now Im forced to pay you a compliment: you dont look it from your pic!!

Dunno , Man, but if youre right, that is too bad.

I think that Im understanding your cuckolding reference thing you mentioned earlier now!! Are you talking about when Cruz and Trump debated back in '16?

Sorry, just using your language here lol.

I think hes an Asshat. Whats your hangup with Paul whom I would describe in the same manner as you did Buttegieg?

Maybe youre right, IDK; do you have the numbers? Id like to see that, if possible.

Mike, it really doesnt matter to me; youre the one who brought it up as if it was bothering you that Im calling out Lefties for childish name calling but not Conservatives. I asked for an example and if you can, I would agree with you and concede; balls in your court so ,whenever you can find the time, I guess.
