Sure they are; and the biggest difference just may be the skin color of those protesting????? But there are also similarities between the two, and responses to those situations, regardless of where they occur, need to be addressed. But no one here wanted to point out the issues with the armed protests. In fact, the only things I saw were support for them here. Yelling and screaming, while heavily armed inside a State Capitol? Absolutely....is sitting on the ground while being a minority a violent act?

Being the target of the comment; just exactly how is it juvenile to compare to other riots or protests? As someone who has been called out for being "selective" in my criticism by others; I was merely pointing to other riots that have occurred, and excluding the tea party one, that the other riots were never brought up here. I also added the disclaimer at the beginning of the post that I do not condone. Now that I have been called out again. I wonder what exactly was the point of posting about the riots at all? No posts about the murder of Floyd; in fact, the first comment made was AFTER a post about the rioting. I have also noticed that no one addressed the differences in protests I made in a follow up post. How is it that heavily armed militia and protesters can go inside a Statehouse (an illegal act) and yell and scream in the face of law enforcement, while many innocent protesters (excluding the looters and others causing destruction) were tear gassed and attacked by law enforcement in full riot gear (something law enforcement at various Statehouses apparently did not need).

I think I am being targeted now. 😄 https://allstarview.com/products/apollo-space-rocket-lamp?fbclid=IwAR1rXE9rnc-_lOu50KKgjCbTd3EXV6NYQdX4TXFmdqpw9_KWjikPueX0xmg

Potentially some problematic issues with this technology.

On a similar note; how does this guy and his friends get away with this (armed; heavily armed INSIDE the Statehouse mind you)? But these unarmed protesters get tear gassed?

Not condoning the riots at all; buuuuuuuuuut

That will be one question I am NOT asking next school year. 🤣

Having been a lifelong Peanuts fan, I think this is an awesome idea, and will likely be spending some dough here. https://ikonick.com/collections/peanuts?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=UN_DR_US_EN_Peanuts_CostCap&utm_content=UN_DR_US_CA_EN_Con_DTM_Auto_Peanuts_7DC1DV_A2265%2B&utm_term=VID_MOUNTAINGETBACKON_1&WickedSource=Facebook&WickedID=23844850460310372

Sorry....still not seeing what you are seeing. If she said something along the lines of “so by all means, you keep taking it Mr. President” as a following up, that would be considered mocking. All she said was they claim.....

I get that, but the post I replied to made the effort to point out some level of hypocrisy. If they were both taking the drug for the same reason, a preventative measure, then that point would be valid. But, as it is, there is no case for anyone being a hypocrite here.

Taking it for treatment of the virus and taking it as a preventive measure are two COMPLETELY different things.

Just wait until someone tells them they can't get in free. 😄 They will have to shout from outside.

I have long respected Eisenhower, as a General in WWII and as a President. I remember finding this article recently when talking with friends about him. http://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/the-underrated-eisenhower-coalition/http://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/the-underrated-eisenhower-coalition/

To be fair, Joe has had a LOT more time in public office to pile up the stats on gaffes. The ones in the video I posted from his 88 campaign are classic.. 😀 Now, if we want to compare the quality of the gaffes.....could be fun. 😂

It is hard telling from that story who went first. Did Trump decide to not have the ceremony? Or did Obama refuse to go first?

Feelings are not hurt at all. I read the original feedback; disagreed with it and stated my reasoning for doing so. I gave you feedback on your feedback, and you keep responding. I am not complaining about it at all. I am simply clarifying the critical point in your feedback. You claimed there was bias in who I choose to give feedback to. I pointed out the flaws in your thinking (feedback). That is it; nothing more. I am a moderator; so now you and Howe get to set the standards for how moderators are supposed to behave? As I replied to him, Muda is a moderator as well. You gonna call him out too?

So, based on that thinking....Muda is a moderator in this forum. Should he be neutral as well? he posts a LOT more than I do as far as opinions and articles. And to think that the few who have responded to you about your posting style being lefties is pretty funny....delusional, but funny.

For someone that really does not care about the various things I have mentioned, you sure have spent a LOT of time responding. Again, I am not the only one who singled him out; yet you chose to provide "feedback" for me......but cannot handle it when I respond in kind. And yet, I am the one who may have to give up my man card....laughable at best.

Had fun watching some last night. A friend of mine on the Snider staff was giving the perspective from their side of it as well. Pretty cool to hear coaches on both sides giving their perspectives.

“Can you let go?” = let me post my negative comments about you and you should not respond......I get it. You like to accuse me of not being able to handle the feedback, yet here you are showing you cannot handle it. lol I am guessing that you assume that gonzo is the one I was referring to as far as who I was texting?

What’s the matter? You can call someone out, but don’t like the feedback you get in return? hmmmmmm....sounds familiar. Either accept the feedback that YOU are selective or don’t. Are you going to try and say you are balanced In who you call out? I have not seen it. I am not the only one that has called him out for his tone here, yet you single me out, and I only see you go after one or two other members other than me recently. I provided examples of times I have called others out. It is you that decided to shift the goal posts with the added terms of recently and in the last few days. And the fact is, you even made reference to post I made about the tone of name calling, and yet you still feel I am selective, and even avoiding calling out friends here. The fact is that is not accurate at all.

Well that changes everything........I apologize for misinterpreting the sit and spin reaction then. 😄
