Are you saying that I should take personal owner ship then when others display MAGA signs , wear hats or T-shirts , etc? Collective guilt ? Also , you mentioned the display of “flags” as an additional example of an insulting inflammatory act- what flag are you referring to ? Surely not the Stars and Stripes , correct as that is the symbol of our nation and should be revered by ALL of us , Repubs and Dems alike - right ?

It’s also an objective and completely measurable description - unlike the childish epithet “Asshat”.

And who’s displaying Hats , bumper stickers and tshirts ?

Calling someone a traitor is not the same as calling them an Asshat Virg- you know better than that , don’t you ?

If that is true, then whats the sense in discussing it unless youre trying to persuade others that youre POV is the correct one? No, it is possible to persuade others; IF they are open to taking in new information and adjusting their positions, that is. But youre certainly NOT going to persuade others via namecalling and personal attacks-thats for sure!!

Says who, Mike? I dont think true- mostly , maybe, but not entirely.

I could have sworn you told us before that you voted for Trump the first time around at least; maybe even the second.

And Did his known association with the Clintons prior to '16 prevent you from voting for him then, honestly now?

Wait: Youre disppointed that I put personality over country? Really? And who , praytell, is more abrasive and irascible than Donald J. Trump?? I have said -repeatedly, mind you- on here that personally, I probably would not like Trump very much in person; however, that is TOTALLY irrelevant to me . Whats important are his policies and his level of competence while President. The fasct is, that Trump SMOKED while Presdient and I want more of it!! Now, in regards to Cheney, personally, I liked her PRIOR to Jan 6th , but after that rdisplay of repugnant egregious conduct, no longer , Im afraid. To be honest, I was actually a bit disappointed in the followup post to your previous brilliant missive regarding the inherent problems with political parties -putting loyalty to party before duty and all that which was dead-on and I agreed with 100%. But then you lowered yourself by resorting to an ad hominem attack against Rand Paul. Cmon now Lefty, youre WAY better than that!! No one, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOONE writes better than you on here and you dont have to do that!! Keep it clean and respectable and youll convince alot more folks as opposed to stooping to zesty exchanges of insulting repartee. Think about what I'm saying .

Maybe- or, because of this: https://www.timesexaminer.com/political/10129-glenn-greenwald-goes-to-town-on-why-dick-and-liz-cheney-hate-trump-so-much

Completely disagree and unproductive commentary , to boot. To many of us, your description of Paul fits Cheney perfectly ( as well as most demoscrats :)).

Read an article last night in NAW about rerouting deer in order to draw them in closer to a prime stand location that was intersting. The author talked about placing obstructions in current heavily trodden paths and opening up other lanes where you want them to go. Potentially, this could be useful for me in one of the places I hunt , but sounds like a lot of work. Another thing he mentions is using smelly shirts loaded with BO to reroute them; anyone ever try this before and if so, was it worth it?

I always struggle with finding a Bucks bedroom, although Ive located counltess doe beds in the past (easier, in my opinion). What consititutes good bedding for a Buck?

Nice scope on that 22 Bud!! How old is it? Im planning on doing some squirrel this season , time permitting, of course. Prtoblem is, it tends to conflict with Salmon/Steelhead!!

I found a mobile ground blind last season that looked abondoned. Had a bicycle lock secuting it to a tree but was completely borken down from the weather; probably had beenb there at least a year or more.

This is an example, I believe of what concerns me about Cheney and her motives for undermining President Trump; the fact is that she never liked him , same as her Father , primarily due to his foreign policy positions. Im afraid THIS is what motivated her and NOT Principle, Duty, Patriotism or any other noble sounding inducements. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/elizabeth-cheney-never-trumper-gop-war-hawk/2019/09/12/id/932443/

I concur (well, except the andti Trump lickspittle rehetoric) , but would you also agree that the following individuals also showed courage in putting Principles/Personal convictions over party fealty and should be commended for it? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-new-jersey-representative-who-switched-parties-criticizes-radical-democrats https://spectatorworld.com/topic/left-tulsi-gabbard/

Virg , you got me there Baby !! I think you’re right ; I’m celebrating her downfall cuz I’m a Trump fanboy AMD ALSO , because I truly believe that what she did was wrong and she was selling out her party and her constituents . May I, in turn , askyou something : are you a big Liz Cheney supporter now BECAUSE she hates Trump or because you agree with her policy positions ( or maybe both )?

I don’t know if id go that far left ( get it ? Lol) Lefty , my friend , but I do see you’re point and concede that I was certainly a little over the top in my rhetoric . You have me there , Sir .

Ok , so maybe i laid it on a little too thick

I do....

Sure she was....

Shes tarred and feathered because she allowed her personal feelings about the former Prez to cloud her judgement, consume all of her professional time and energy, rather than spending it where it should have been- effectively representing the people of Wyoming.

Dont know about that, but there definitely was tons of evidence in the '20 election !!

I was quite pleased when I saw on the news this am that Traitor Liz was soundly defeated in her bid for relection in Wyoming. This is a vile, treacherous person who is more than a little deserving of a good drubbing, considering she has ignored the will of her constituents the past 2 years in order to wage her personal vendetta campaign against Donald Trump. I believe she was defeated by a 69-29% margin (2% other candidates)? Pretty clear message that the people of Wyoming did not agree with her stance on Trump/Jan 6th in my book!! What say you?
