It must be nice, having so much money that you can afford to pay attention only to yourself.
I don't know if you're fat, I don't know if you're drunk, but you sure are stupid, SECOND. AND an asshole. That much is evident!

Quote:Furst was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 17. He reached a weight of 320 pounds and had uncontrolled type 2 diabetes by the age of 40. After almost needing to have his left foot amputated due to diabetes complications in 1996, Furst reduced his weight. Furst said, "I thought I was more powerful than the disease of diabetes, but in reality, I was letting it take control of me. Now, I've decided to take control of my life." And then he lost control of his weight, again. He blamed Obama and voted for Trump in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Furst

What's your point about Furst?
I haven't had a drink for 15 months next week and I'm regularly weighing under 160 lbs right now and I haven't worked out at all. That was just from not drinking and getting a job where I'm active.
I've fixed a lot of relationships and have a good support group. I hardly have any real stress in my life. I've taken up projects that are very fulfilling to me and so I hardly even play any games or watch any TV or movies in my free time.
None of that was due to any president or any politician.
You seem pretty miserable everyday man. Maybe you should start taking care of your own home before worrying about all the shit in the world you are powerless to do anything about. You'd probably be happier.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Do you remember that this is about the Deep State and the Main Stream Media bringing down Trump? Except people believing that are Trump Supporters and Defenders, while actual facts don't back that delusion in the minds of fat, drunk, and/or stupid Republicans.
Republicans have got a real mental weakness toward shifting blame for their personal failures and lousy judgment of people. Remember, 6ixStringJack, you are the genius that voted for Trump. All those stories about him that were true before election? They are still true. And if you can't figure out Mister Obviously Crooked Trump and make accurate predictions about him, how the hell can you understand and make useful predictions about ordinary, decent people who can either help or hurt you in Indiana? You've got more information about Trump then anybody but your own family, and you still are not condemning him to Hell. You are not paying attention.

Yanno, it would be sad if you weren't so wildly ... and I mean wildly ... off-target!

lol... Second has gone off the deep end and isn't even worth replying to anymore.
I actually feel sorry for him.
I said that this was happening to him and T especially. They've made this their life, and now that things aren't going the way they'd hoped it's driving them insane because they're so invested in it.
Good for T for taking a step back from it all. I hope T actually takes some time to improve his own life and minimizes his exposure to the news for a while.

Well, the reason why I find SECOND so funny is because of the people that I personally know who voted for Trump:
******
My hubby, a multi-talented researcher working at a major university
and his co-worker ...
An American-born son of Mexican immigrants; a colleague of my husband's who is a multi-talented technical support guy, professional musician and occasional triathlete
His coworker's brother, a hardworking HVAC guy, his coworker's older sister (teacher) and younger sister (housewife)
His Taiwanese-born aerospace engineer-wife, who is also a triathlete
Another colleague, a naturalized Armenian-born research technician
****
My dog-walking buddies-
A Japananese-born agnostic naturalized citizen who is a professional translator, and who has traveled all around the USA and to Japan, performing medical and legal translations.
Her husband, who is an American-born white-guy from OK, who worked for the gas company as a supervisor/troubleshooter for decades before he retired
A VERY culturally-Taiwanese-born small business-owner. I was honored to have been invited by her to a Buddhist New Year Blessing ceremony, which dd and I attended.
*****
My ex-coworkers (at a government regulatory agency)...
A devout Christian Burmese woman, a technician. In the winter, her church feeds the homeless once a month; I've seen her drag her ass in after a weekend of cooking industrial-sized pot roasts, chopping up mounds of vegetables, and cleaning up for hours afterwards.
A white guy secretary from Idaho, and his mainland-Chinese-born wife who is a regional sale manager for a department-store product line
A white professional female chemist
Another Taiwanese-born female chemist
*****
People who voted for Hillary tend to be white liberals. And the thing driving the Trump vote (here, at least) seemed to be ... wait for it ... illegal immigration.
Now, very few of these people match SECOND's view of the "typical" Trump voter ... many of them aren't white, more than half are women, ALL of them are well-educated, many of them aren't even American-born, none of them could be called "lazy" or uninformed ...
I think SECOND is just whack-a-doodle.

My stepdad is 2nd generation Mexican immigrant and he voted for Trump.
Illegal immigration infuriates him. He grew up in a train boxcar for a home and picked cotton before he went on to be the first person in his family to graduate college and become a project manager for Ma Bell and not only marry 1, but 2 white women.
It doesn't surprise me at all when I hear immigrants who did it legitimately get angry when the subject of illegal immigration comes up. Especially from countries where it's a lot harder to get here legally than it is from Mexico.
Most of the people I know who voted for Hillary were white lefties. I make a distinction between Leftists and Liberals these days since there is a huge difference.

It starts off about guns and goes into the politics of today. No deep state in the direction your debaters are pointing. It's a bit long but worth the view. Check it out buddy.

Let's cut through your bullshit, Signym. Would these people vote for Trump now? Did they vote for Trump in the primary? And be sure to ask them what actions in Trump's first year have kept them as defenders of Trump's vision for America. #MAGA
Do these Trump voters think Mueller is on a witch-hunt? Ask about the FBI. Ask them to explain exactly why they think that. Don't give your reasons placed in their mouths, Signym.
And for the record, I got what I expected from Trump, without voting for the GOP. It is a multi-million dollar tax cut for me. Remember how excited Paul Ryan was about that public school employee getting an extra $1.50 per week?
Famous Democrat Warren Buffett’s multinational conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, made an extra $29 billion in 2017 thanks to the Republican tax bill, the billionaire investor said in his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday. www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2017ltr.pdf
“A large portion of our gain did not come from anything we accomplished at Berkshire,” Buffett, 87, wrote. Of the $65 billion the company made last year, $36 billion was from its operations. The rest was thanks to the GOP tax cut, passed in December, which dropped the corporate income tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent.
That the tax bill would make such an enormous difference for Berkshire Hathaway, which as of 2017 has $702 billion in total assets, is not a surprise: That is largely how it was designed. The bill is most beneficial to corporations, including Berkshire, and the wealthy, particularly the ultra-wealthy, such as Buffett.
Buffett was critical of the Republican tax plan before it was passed, even though he acknowledged it would be good for him and for his company. “We have a lot of businesses... I don’t think any of them are non-competitive in the world because of the corporate tax rate,” Buffett told CNBC in October.
