You believe that.

Do you think that we're not people? What the **** is the matter with you?

Someone rattle their zipper and wake you up?

“Rattle their zipper”?

No, you're people. But, you've adopted an authoritarian streak that can't accept opposing viewpoint to leftist ideology...

 

[d0gbreath]

Yes, believe it or not, he used to be pretty good and debating without pissing you off with insult. And he was mildly open to having his mind changed...These days his whole existence is to just make 8th grade, childish diversion that means nothing...

I don't insult much, and never call people names.

I smell irony.

America is not facing a civil war like 1860, but a fracturing as the competing sects that have been nurtured fight to break free.

I agree

The level of hate on both sides is much like 1860

But the country is less divided geogrsphically

The “war” is shaping up quite differently

Think about it biscuit lips....

Kind of hopeless.

Make Asylums Great Again.

How long do you think effective treatment will take?

Donald Trump is not worth a civil war.

Not to worry, by the time he gets done wrecking the economy, all but the craziest MAGA will have turned on him.

Calm down. It’s just a suggestion for a VERY common topic. So common that it could use its own sub-forum.

Yeah, usually they wait until the voters have flushed them before they start talking about dividing the nation.

That the thread exists speaks to the undercurrent of dis-satisfaction with the blob.

The next civil war will occur under Democrat Party leadership.
Guaranteed.
And Trump isn't "wrecking the economy". Only silly leftist spread that nonsense.

Whats the price of diesel today?

Whats the price of diesel today?

I see that there is a new trucker shortage on the horizon. Truck owners who own one or two trucks are not able to negotiate lower fuel prices and are not able to take long over-the-road loads any more. I read where about 1/2 the freight is done by private carriers. Of that group, about a quarter are truck owners--operator/owners in some cases. Ninety percent of that same group has less than 6 trucks are are in danger due to the blob's actions. That goes away and the price of shipping goes up.

Your chart forgot to mention the price of diesel. Rail and trucking companies will all be jacking their shipping prices due to rising fuel prices. Of course we all know that cost will be passed onto the consumer.

Mass layoffs.
Mass closings of chain resturants
Gasoline approaching $5.00 a gallon.

Consider your economy wrecked.

And you blame Trump for that?
It's further of how totally deranged you are.

Oh, have we moved on from "The economy is fine" to "the economy is messed up, but it's totally not Trump's fault!!!

Trump imposed unnecessary tariffs.
Trump started an unnecessary war.

Trump wrecked the economy.
