Showing your youth again AMS. Accepting the fact that you are mortal and, like everyone on the planet, will die one day is not the same as wanting to die. The strange ones are those that think they will live forever, death is just as natural as birth and there is nothing we can do to stop it. No matter how many supplements you take, how often you go to the gym and how many marathons you run there is well under a 35% chance that you will see 90 let alone 100 years of age. At least one study has found that accepting your mortality is a factor in living longer.

It's only election denial if you're Pro-Trump.

Would you agree that there IS a lot of election denial but also that Trump went a tad further than that?

I believe he could be innocent on all counts.

That's the pattern I see.


Have to disregard all MSM because they're biased.

So that leaves the interpretation to the MAGA conservative reporters for processing the correct information.


Like Fani Willis' father being a Back Panther, etc.

While Trump was taking the virus serious the Democrats were more worried about it being called "China Virus" and making it as political as possible.


In terms of Federal Government, the Democrats weren't really in a position to do much about it.

If something unfortunate is going on in the country (or state or city, if that level), then the party not in power is going to try to poke holes in what the party in power is doing, or saying, to improve their chances in the next election. Always has been; will always be.

Maybe the reason Donny lost is because his fanboys like Duffman don’t actually live in the real world?


You'd think they'd be in favor of absentee ballots, if that's the case.

The Trump haters think we should have spot welded people inside their homes like they did in China.


No. I hate Trump and I don't think state governments should have ordered business closures whatsoever.

If Biden even won, he'd be the worst President we ever had in the history of Earth.

But he didn't win.

It wasn't even close.


I guess the hypothetical isn't necessary; evidently, he can be the worst POTUS ever (according to you) in the history of Earth whether he won or not.

Do you NOT believe that you'll eventually die? By that logic, everyone should kill themselves. It's not a question of desire; it's a question of inevitability. DRich knows that his death is inevitable, so there's no reason to be concerned about it. Once dead, there will be no reason for him to be concerned about anything (including the future of humanity) as there will be no HIM to even have concern.

Nihilism-lite doesn't mean you should just kill yourself. What a fallacy!
