    Perfectly stated. It has less to do with politics and just how he has come off as a person over the course of YEARS. He is more of a professional fence sitter, taking sides only when it is convenient to him, and the reasoning invariably comes back to the "I got mine, don't give a about you" mentality, as you said.

    I haven't been a longtime poster in the politics forum, but I've lurked since 2007 and Darrin is one of those guys who always came off as the selfish boomer type. Gotta' agree that this is probably temporary. Guy is probably maskless and coughing on low wage workers in the drive-thru, picking up his morning mimosa to temper his hangover as we speak.

    Part and parcel of this is his denial of climate science. Years and years of getting your talking points demolished or shown to be flawed...

    no revision of position.

    A blast from 2010, arguing that there hasn't been any warming trends "in the last 15 years".

    Directly contradicted shortly thereafter by someone posting a link to study showing just that.

    How many people did you give covid to. You said you had it. You posted about how you had a fever and lost your taste and smell and you still went to work. That is irresponsible.

    I am disappointed that it takes one on-camera police murder and over 100,000 off camera deaths and an economic freefall for some to realize that the US still has big problems. I am encouraged that the ascendant generations seem like they'll be less stupid than previous ones. Hopefully it's not too late.

    OTOH, anyone still trying to argue Trump is doing a good job deserves every bit of ridicule coming to him.

    Wait----you think that is what this thread is about?

    Darrin thinks Trump is godlike. He still likes and supports him. Would vote for him twice if he could.

    Well-Rounded QAnon Kook Marjorie Taylor Greene Also A Gross Racist

    Why lookie here what kind of person Republican voters seem to love.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene, who posed with an assault rifle in a campaign ad, is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in Georgia's 14th Congressional District. She's a QAnon conspiracy crackpot, but unlike that wackadoodle in Oregon, she's running for a seat so deep red that Democrats didn't bother contesting it in 2014 and 2016. Even during the 2018 blue wave, in bent Tom Graves spanked the Democratic challenger by more than 50 points.
    https://www.wonkette.com/well-rounde...a-gross-racist

    Tea Party has been replaced by something more sinister and more stupid.

    That is one thing that makes ME depressed for America.


    Barring something unlikely this gross nutball will be in Congress, making Matt Gaetz look like a very stable genius in comparison.

    Republican leaders are STOKED about her.

    Greene's closet compe or in last week's primary was Dr. John Cowan, who eked out just 19 percent of the vote to Greene's 41 percent. She needed a majority to win outright, but that's not an issue in the August 11 runoff. Republican leadership is already distancing themselves from the bigot who called Jewish Holocaust survivor George Soros a Nazi.

    "
    These comments are appalling, and Leader McCarthy has no tolerance for them," said Drew Florio, a spokesman for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

    House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) went further, throwing his weight behind Greene's opponent.
    "The comments made by Ms. Greene are disgusting and don't reflect the values of equality and decency that make our country great," Scalise said in a statement. "I will be supporting Dr. Cowan." [...]

    While the National Republican Congressional Committee does not get involved in primaries, NRCC spokesman Chris Pack said Chairman Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is "personally disgusted by this rhetoric and condemns it in the strongest possible terms."

    And a spokesman for GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) — who forcefully rebuked King and called on him to step down — said, "obviously, Rep. Cheney opposes these offensive and bigoted comments."

    Unfortunately, none of these Republican leaders can vote against Greene, and it would require an epic collapse for her to lose. If she wins the runoff, she'll face Democratic sacrificial lamb Kevin Van Ausdal in a district with a Republican partisan lean of 27 points. Let's hope for the best in both upcoming races. Otherwise, Republicans will have a conspiracy peddling racist in Congress, which I guess is better than the White House.

    Still too many people trying to "win" and not really talking to each other. I'm guilty myself.

    Social media (and mainstream media) are total cancers.

    I seriously fear that's going to happen. Some right wing group is going to confront these left wing loons and it's not going to end well.

    Sounds like fake news. But if it isn't, this is great news for her. Wrongful termination suit should be a nice payday
