-Why should I have any compassion for these people when compassion lead us to this point?

I have no idea where you think compassion lead us to the reality of this (or any other) rural WV town ravaged by poverty and all the characteristics that accompany such reality. lack of education, out of wedlock births, low wages, unemployment, crime, drug addiction, etc.....all the same things that you also find in similar communities.

compassion is what you show people after they make poor life choices and there is really no alternative except to help them.

To me, there is no difference between this community and the inner city ghetto with similar problems (generational poverty) and a clear voting pattern.

but it's different to you dumfuqs.

how they vote seems to make all the difference.

Compassion has nothing to do with votes. The starting point of compassion isn't first getting something you think you're owed by these people

You think you're owed something in exchange for your compassion.

Just admit it, twoothy......you have no clue what the concept means.

What I've learned in this thread is that some of you here are so dependent upon others for your well-being that you include the poor, minorities, gays, disabled, elderly, basically everybody in the group of people who owe you something.

I didn't know it was possible for a poor coal Miner to owe you something

But here we are, where you're all getting screwed by literally everybody

"Piggy has killed my belief in the goodness of the average man."

Looking in the mirror is evidence of that for you.

No compassion for children born into poverty.

And why? Because of the choices made by their parents. Inside the voting booth.

Nevermind the choices outside the voting booth represent 99% of why they live in squalor.

I think Kelly is pretty despicable for those comments.

Of course, the inconsistency, the delay, the text messages, etc. is all gonna get debated and and discussed, but she of all people should cut through that and defend this girl regardless.

-Jeff is a horrible human being

He's got a really good dental practice though

"Duke lacrosse 2.0"

Well.....let's get further into this before we make that comparison.

Duke had a prosecutor who was operating way outside the bounds of proper procedure.

Hopefully there isn't any kind of that going on here.

"You should get life in front of a firing squad!!"

never underestimate the ability to admit when you're wrong and be an arrogant ----- at the same time.

"you're incapable of admitting you were wrong."

that's pretty rare here.

I admitted I was wrong on Roe and that's on a short list of acknowledgements.

And people don't respect it when you admit you're wrong. They wish they did but they don't.

People are too tribal and proud for that.

I want all of us to live long enough to see this.

and by "this" I mean all the things that will come to a democratic party controlled senate....not just a potential SOCTUS candidate.

Let's face it....if the democrats take the senate....none of those conservative justices are retiring....

-Do you have any doubt a Dem-led Senate would shoot down any nominee

Can they tolerate being called obstructionists at the same time? Letting the court and the American people suffer for their own political gain?

We'll see.......

All true. It's a sporting event to many people.

It's not really about their lives (despite their insistence on such)

It's about being on a team. And winning.

"I receive a 30% discount on property taxes from my town because I am over 65 and I meet the income levels. I've no issue with that."

they cut your property taxes because you qualify and you have no issue with that.

color me shocked.

"You ------- troll!!!!!!"

-But none of those are Trump's really big problem. It's this: he's just not fun anymore.

The fun the right had in watching Trump drive the left crazy has faded or it's almost completely gone.

okay.....I was able to read it. Thanks for the clarification.

The GOP doesn't seem to be able to scare the moderates away from the democratic party candidates like they've usually been able to in the past.

I'm seeing "We don't want their california liberalism blah blah" being used but it's not like the normal way in which a voter is being told they are going to lose something if this democrat wins.

I'm used to seeing higher taxes, gun restrictions, performing abortions in your middle school, etc...you know....---- like that being thrown out.

The moderate who is capable of voting for a democrat is not really having the ---- scared out of them this time.

Obviously they can't use high gas prices or inflation against the democrat like usual.

Yes. I'm always proudly of mine educations I gotz here's in Kansas.

I'm sure this is a good article....but unfortunately I can't read it.

But you're not worried about getting locked up for it, right? Fired from your job? Any kind of material consequence?

-I've no problem believing it....

LOL

you're demented. why be so desperate? Any objective person would immediately reject that -------- story.

He's tried to sell it for a while now. He's been dying for someone to respond his doctor visit story which is why he's repeated it.

-Some of the Nixon program would be considered communist by today's gooberish MAGAts,

probably but that wasn't my point.

The acts of the republicans may have changed.....but the response from the left hasn't. That's been the same no matter what.

-but professionals with leanings toward reasonableness were in charge"

Also true but, again....not the point. The response from the left was precisely the same as it is now.

And please.....don't start in with what's fair. I don't care what's fair. It's all fair.

Doc, so you believe some doctor goes off on commie democrats in front of a patient he is woefully unaware is going to take massive offense at?

Of course not.

-Yes some Democrats support Socialism..

of course they do. some republicans support it as well, obviously.

But when you call it Socialism......then it gets sticky.

This is the attention span and intelligence of the American voter.

-I went to my doctors two weeks ago and he started in on the communism of the democrats

FFS sakes...tell the truth.

You went to the doctors 2 weeks ago and YOU started in on the fascism of the republicans.

Was this the first time you've been to this doctor because if he knows you enough to get into politics then he wouldn't have gone down that road. He knows what a tightly wound little tasmanian devil you are regarding politics. No way he just blindly starts in on democrats like that.

Stop lying.

did speakstupid write that first line you referenced? doesn't matter. I don't really care.

I don't give a ---- what MAGA is worried of being accused of. They aren't worried about it either. That's such a worthless deflection.

the right has been accused of being Nazis my entire life. It's a 100% guarantee that's going to happen. Believe me the right knows it coming no matter what.....so the last thing they are worried about is that. they count on it.

Seriously........wages, taxes, social security, medicare, medicaid, minimum wage, education, health care, trade policy, etc....no matter the issue.....the GOP is starving kids, pushing grannies over cliffs in their wheelchairs, denying services, voter suppression, etc...literally everything they are being accused of today.

It's all fair game. This is what drives psychos like Clownshack crazy.....he thinks I'm defending what the GOP is doing. I'm not. I'm only pointing out that this whole dynamic never changes.

I don't care if the GOP feels as though the accusations and labels are fair. I don't care if it is fair or not.

Simply being a republican is justification to be called a racist, nazi, fascist. There are simply no other qualifications necessary.

And that's not changed for 50 years.

All morons like lampshack have is this......."yeah....but this time we really mean it. You really are a racist, nazi, and a fascist. Yeah, you've been called that forever but we were mostly just kidding all those previous times....but this time it's for real!!!"
