Put thread here, because...


Jan 17, 2019, 8:42 AM

Well, theatrics...right?!? ;)

The vitriol directed at a President is easy to understand, albeit generally over-simplified and with no less than a LOT of bias! Targeting one person for blame is easy. Voters seldom blame their Representative or Senator because, they're perfect and, furthermore, they don't know the names of the other Representatives (even in their own state) or Senators...by and large.

It's simply amazing how 535 'we the peoples' representatives'' can live in visible anonymity and free of any accountability, yet the President is always the lightning rod.

Change...it starts at home, folks. Make them do their job. Make them. Oh...and without pay for as long as their fellow 'government workers' are without. I mean, those unpaid workers help place and support them there...with their tax dollars. Be the 'people'...feel their pain...it's only fair.

The President is the person responsible for the shutdown***

To a single issue. I simply cited how a branch of government is getting a pass for sitting on their haunches while another branch is the lightning rod. Right...wrong...indifferent...doesn't matter. 'We' put them all there...and 'we' are doing little more than bit-chin about what's happening. And...worse of all...we're at each others' throats...instead of targeting the ones we put in office to represent our views.

I'll summarize then shut the Hades up. This past ten days has watched this forum, a microcosm of this nation, devolve from a 'happy' time to immersion in misery once again. It's sad...it's pathetic...and it's proving to be a total waste of energy. Clemson won a title...and yet...with each passing day, I see less of 'Clemson Family' and more of the 'Sound of Silence'...everyone's talking...no one's listening.

Out...

Salty , Im not miserable . I don't get rung up over other's opinions or feelings that may differ from mine .

If anyone allows that to happen to themself there is still a lot of growth needed , as an individual .
Just my opinion .

Your entire last paragraph is clearly referring to the shutdown***

OK...you win...


Jan 17, 2019, 9:49 AM

I was trying the analogous route, but, take the win. Regardless, I appreciate your insight.

Dug, I'm not miserable either...and didn't mean that in the literal sense, but was sensing that as a general feeling. My faux pas. Still, it's generally dismaying to witness, regardless how one absorbs it personally.

Oh yeah , no I got what you were laying down .
I am always trying to avoid political discourse except if I am attending a meeting or standing at the voting booth .
Some folks just live for that stuff ... and that's an awful lot of wasted lifetime if you ask me .

Go Tigers !

Personally I'm more than ready to move on to something else***

Thanks for admitting the obvious. I don't see it as winning, though


Jan 17, 2019, 9:58 AM [ in reply to OK...you win... ]

It's just factually correct.
