Sorry I missed this interesting discussion earlier. I was busy voting for Biden/Harris.

While I disagree with the tactics of anti-Trumpists early in his presidency, it is clear that almost anybody but Trump would do a better job running the country. I am voting for Biden.

Once again, I applaud your ability to "ignore" me

---

Where is your basic human decency? At least out of pity, can't you stop asking him to ignore you? Based on the context of his posts, does it seem like he has led an interesting life or has anything else to occupy him? Why would you deprive him of this little bit of joy he gets from life? You can just choose to ignore him as I have, only seeing his drivel when someone quotes him.

---

I'm not asking him to ignore me. I'm laughing at his claim that he does ignore me. Almost all of his posts are about me.

And no, there isn't anything interesting about him.

I see that you went to the same charm school as T.

T: Get the seniors to relate to me by equating being a senior with being senile.

calbear93: Get the "old" people on BI to relate to me by telling them they have uninteresting lives and need to look at shiny objects and other mindless amusements to help them focus on something other than how sad their lives have become.

---

Does it seem like I care whether the likes of you and those who think like you relate to me? Is that what you got, that I care about you or what you think of me? Does it seem like I care what idiots like you who thinks posting pictures of Hitler is some clever retort thinks? I bet you were the kind of stalker who, when a girl told you to **** off, took that to mean that she was interested.

But it does seem like you care quite a bit, and you are milking your Photoshop skills that may have been interesting in early 2000 for couple of decades now.

---

So, actually, yes, your posts absolutely make it seem like you care. If you didn't care you wouldn't respond and keep increasing the insults. The opposite of love is not hate. It is apathy.

If you follow a woman ("girl"? What is this the 80's? Hope he's not following minors hoping to score) and she tells you to eff off, she is not interested. If the woman comes to your house every day to scream eff off at you, she may not be interested, but she cares about something.

---

OK, should have been clearer. I don't care whether, as he wrote, he and his kind "relate to me", I hope we are not in the same spectrum that he and I can relate to each other. Now, if some stranger you don't care about otherwise came up to you and insulted you and your wife, and you yelled at him back, that does not mean you care about him. But you care that some meaningless person insulted you and your wife.

---

The meaningless person just put your name on a list of people he thought were voting for Trump. He did not come up to you and insult you. He most definitely didn't insult your wife. He didn't insult you at all.

My wife, a diehard Bernie voter was having lunch with some colleagues who said they thought she'd support Mayor Pete. She politely told them she was supporting Bernie and then came home to me and said "CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY THOUGHT I'D VOTE FOR THAT IDIOT?!" She did not tell them they were class clowns with no marketable value.

I like her already

Glad to have you on board, Oski.

Clearly, you have no idea how the ignore function works. Not surprising, since you are unclear about how many things in this world work.

I can see that you have posted in threads. I can see that you have responded to me. If I wanted to waste a few seconds of my life, I could click on a post to expand it and read it. I would rather watch grass grow.

I can also read the random Yogi Patel Professor Adams post when another poster quotes you in their post. See how easy it is to ignore all the stupid crybaby posts and still have a couple find their way through my DeltaBravo shield?

Trust me: I spend as little time as possible reading anything you post. Because everything I've seen of yours makes me think of this:

Sent in a vote awhile ago for Biden and against anyone local or national who referenced support for Trump as a positive. Had the easiest time filling out my ballot in a long time. My vote for Biden won't matter but the local ones will matter, and we need to root out Trumpism at its root and get back to debate on ideas and not on personality and cultish worship.

Bravo. It's literally country over party now. I eagerly look forward to someday having good faith discussions about policy. This period will go down as a dark stain in our history. Trumpism must be rooted out of our lives, political and otherwise.

Good read, OTB. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate that you're a good writer. Sentences flow well (important when you're 99th percentile in average BI post length).

Seriously, I often read and enjoy his prose even when it's about the ins and outs of law careers or whatever.

It will come as no surprise that for the first time ever I voted Dem right down the ballot.

I will not stand with any person belonging to the party that enabled this travesty, and then did NOTHING to curb it as it escalated. GOP has lost all credibility as a political party in service of the nation rather than itself. Next election, I will return to evaluation by each person's actions. This one was rightfully all about affiliation and a price paid for complicit silence. I hope all the traitors, and that is what they are, will be investigated and convicted.

Which Republicans were you voting for before? I haven't had a Republican candidate worth considering since I thought Dubya might be OK (that was a huge mistake) and not in California since Deukmejian.

We got Grandma Pearl.

In my effort to kill a joke, I will say this is totally out of character for Homer. If he remembered even one tenth of that, he would have to forget his family members' names and how to drink Duff beer. He is the type of voter who would forget everything from the last four years and vote based on a 30 second TV ad appealing to our basest emotions. So, basically a member of Trump's core base.

Bill Maher's New Rules rant in the next thread from 2016 seems to ring even more true on the eve of the 2020 Election.

But he's not remembering it, they're flashing the words in front of him right before he votes. So it tracks.

Sounds like you are calling for people to be convicted of political crimes but that just furthers the abasement of our country internationally. I don't disagree that there will and should be some investigations to understand how to improve our political system and make it so that our checks and balances are capable of protecting us with something more than "norms", but I have no interest in anyone going to jail for political activity unless it is truly beyond the pale.

I have no doubt that Trump crossed the line but I think most of the weak willed free riders in congress and throughout the administration were merely complicit and deserve our ire rather than jail time. After 4 years of this ragtag banana republic, I'm hopeful that we could actually become a semi-respectable democracy. It will take a long time to rehabilitate our image and once again become a beacon for democracy worldwide and I'm no longer sure we have the culture to get it done. Maybe with enough high quality immigrants. I guess anything is possible.

Obstruction of justice. Conspiracy. Espionage. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Campaign finance. Slander. Treason? These are not political crimes in the sense that everyone does it and it is jailing your opposition as payback. These are crimes against the nation that those who have betrayed us in their party over country quest for power must be held to account.

Sorry bro but this is too Trumpian for me. Making blanket charges of espionage, money laundering, tax evasion, etc. without any basis is not a good look. Also, given that we arguably aren't at war with anyone, it may not be possible to commit treason at this point in time. Finally I would note that slander isn't a crime, it's a civil question.

I think a lot of these people are crooks and there have been and will continue to be individual investigations. I have no doubt that some of these insider trading stories will turn out to be for real and that there are other shenanigans going on which people should account for, but the notion that there should be some forced broad-based investigation of everyone who supported Trump is far too McCarthy and will reinforce the precedent that Trump is trying to set of politically motivated investigations. That's banana republic BS and not something anyone in the US should aspire too.

I like you but you missed the mark here.

Just as one example. Do we ignore those individuals who lied under oath? Do those who hid evidence and participated in the obstruction of justice with regard to Mueller or deliberately spread lies and disinformation to the American public suffer no consequences?
