No. Your authenticity is what you'd lose. And nobody cowers on the internet, except there ARE those who get paid to stir the ****, create discord amongst Americans, etc. Promote a civil war amongst us. Know anyone who does that?

I can buy authenticity as a valid argument...but an authentic what? Maybe on large social media sites there are paid trolls to stir the pot but here? No. How many active posters in the non-sports are there, twelve? Perhaps there are three times that amount who passively read. Nobody is going to pay coin of the realm to reach an audience of 50.

Besides, he's not creating discord. Neither is rsp nor bronx nor all3 nor the two of us, for that matter. Not a single mind has been changed with all of this bravado. I think the Internet causes people to want to feel big and important in a world where they are decidedly small and unimportant. That's a fair definition for all of us. Some just handle the truth (that they are irrelevant) better than others.

“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute,” Trump said during Thursday’s coronavirus press briefing. “And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”

Defend it, Condemn it or STFU!

I won't do either but I can see what he was trying to say. As usual, his mode of expression is bizarre but it doesn't seem as outrageous to me as was first reported. My assumption is that he was employing a metaphor and not being literal.

Stop giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. As President during a Pandemic, it is his job either to be perfectly clear, or own what he says. He doesn't get to rephrase his words later.

Well said. But I'd like to not underestimate the will/desire of our adversaries. I don't do ANY other social websites for example............no Facebook, no Twitter, No Instagram, whatever.........NONE.

Do the Russkies (or the Chinese or whoever) care to "influence" nobody me personally?, of course not. But are you gonna pay folks to do a job but ignore smaller sites that focus on older baseball fanatics. In my view Nope. You're gonna say, go at em all..........you're sitting at a PC of some sort, do any that you can. That would be my instruction.

I wasn't trying to. I watched the majority of the press briefing right before positing this comment and my impression of what I heard/saw is above.

I guess it's possible, although it seems like a waste of resources to me. I also have not bothered with Twitter, Facebook, etc. That is a legitimate waste of resources...my time.

I'm not sure doug is my adversary...

I hope that's true actually.............but some of your posting would suggest otherwise.
IF you're a viet nam vet I salute you and then we ARE on the same side................and something is terribly wrong when we view world events so differently.

I'm certain we are not. I can't remember a cross word. HOWEVER:

Go back just a bit. I'm accused of being a bot. A BOT? really? And a Russian. DA! (not by you)

Although I am ancient Vietnam vet...I do know what a bot is. But I'm not that damned smart.

I'm smart enough to copy and paste. Smart enough to watch CNN and FOX.

I'm patient enough to listen to RUSH LIMBAUGH and NPR. I care to compare.

Some are not.

Then you SHOULD be perfectly capable of issuing a defense of Capt. Injection and Light. You didn’t answer, you get no say.

November...Tick Tock

Should conservatives and Republicans ALWAYS defer to the left?

And why won't you stand against the slander and lies from the left?

IF YOU GOT A BACKBONE...then stick around. You'll get belly full of hate from the left.

I wasn't able to serve (Gulf War era) because I couldn't pass the medical exam. Thank you for doing your part.

I don't want your thanks. We're all gonna die. While we're here...I want a little equity.

I have no problem outnumbering the opposition 1 to 10. They are outnumbered and surrounded.

I do have a problem with fake news. It's propaganda for rich people and idiots.

I have a problem when google deletes stuff or 90% of media is now propaganda.

I have a problem when the boards aren't even close to 50-50.

I have a problem when redlines are ignored and liberal twits carry on as normal. That's the end of civilization.

That's what I have a problem with.

That’s the second time today a conservative ******* pulled out the “I’m a veteran” card. I’m not impressed. It doesn’t give you a license to be a complete fucktard incapable of a legitimate defense of his feckless leaders stupidity.

Go talk **** in your own threads. There are hundreds of them because you’re a hypocrite attention whore with no actual power of ANY sort. Not here, not in your ineffectual life of cats and deadbawl.

that's the way rsp talks.
