...and why is that necessary? are Democrats supposed to defend anything any party member does? right or wrong? it's too weird - acting as if this is some 'reality show'?

if anything, there is little connection between what americans, and what the Rs & Ds, wanted or signed up for.

it's a paradox that in the US we have wanted better systems for education, health, or elections that reflexed our true needs...and the government thought they could do it there...while we are STILL waiting to get it here?!!

dude, the truth is what matters. maybe alternative reality is your gig, but some of us rather deal in the IS and not blind faith.

If...and that is a huge 'if'...you want some real light on the subject...try this;

we were there to win hearts and minds, and we had a Republican administration to leave that charge?

see the example of a member of t͟h͟a͟t͟ glee and chess club above ˣ

signed up for rubbing out Bin Laden [and his pals], and after he was 'sleeping w/the fishes', our attention should have turned to the problems at home.

EX: again, see the comments above ˣ

didn't jump on the bandwagon for 'nation building' - especially when our nation is/was in need of repair at all most every level imaginable.

EX: like education...to repeat, referred to the example of the commentator above ˣ

Finally, to quote the author of the article, "What happened last week was inevitable, and anyone saying differently is still lying to you."


[To the others, can anyone explain the 'beijing biden' thing? is it one of those off-right things? like covid not being dangerous? or masks are oppression? would ask him to explain but that's too much like asking a heavy one-legged gal to a slow dance.]


BTW: give some odds on the '22 and '24 races!

Good gravy, a fight has broken out in the chess club!

The chess club thinks so.
(upvote)

I upvoted in honor of my brother, the former vice president of the Chess Club, junior year in high school.

I even watched the whole thing, not understanding much of it.

Grins...you're a smart one...*eyes your juicy, chess club brain*
I too, think it would be a blast to meet bunches of sifters! (Yeah, that's the weekend I meant, btw...I tried to change my plans around after your offer, with no luck.)

I'm game for another gathering though, sure!

In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
While i am suspicious of someone who would start the "death" channel, I'm really eager to meet some of the blokes from over the pond. It isn't this weekend, it's next, 7-9th i believe but ohhhh wellll. Perhaps we can organize a sift up for us easterners sometime soon.

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were serious!
I would love to road trip, but sadly that weekend I already have plans.

How sweet of you to ask me!

In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
*cough* Errr... I'm serious? Would you be down for a road trip?

He stole my line - I've used it since high school Chess club.

I happen to be one of the latter and I'm tired of being villainized by narrow-minded twits like you.

>>> Villanized? Are there villains in the chess club?

quantumushroom, thank you for your serv.....oh, never mind.

That's right, numbnuts, make a personal attack. I mean, what else do you have? What else does any liberal ever bring to the table except higher taxes, less freedom, moral relativism and just plain excuses for NOT getting the job done?

My Service was Active Duty from 1993 to 2000. Where's yours? The Trotsky Chess Club?
