Quick Update

Yeah, I noticed that. And you lost the avatar of Obama for what looks like a conspiracy nutjob avatar.

Sweet!

Glad to have you back.

Actually it was Obama burning the Constitution. Nothing conspiratorial about that. Should Trump try the 'pen and phone' end around, I'll make HIM burning the Constitution my avatar.

 

[BitterPill]

I still don't know what racist statement you're referring to...

Sounds to me like you're just following the party line?

Fair enough.

Whatever happened to that Constitution you had Obama burning?

I bet Putin's going to be wiping with it.

What about making the relationship with Putin better is un-Constitutional?

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations...entangling alliances with none”

Hey, it's only our Constitution.

I can hardly fathom the transformation from security hawks to appeasers in the GOP.

How do you do that? As vehement as you were against, you're now so vehement for.

Was it Breitbart, R/T?

Wrong answer. I've always favored trade over interventionism. Always.

I notice you don't add free trade in there.

Interesting... well, I'm out of here, got to take the kids to school. Speaking of school, it's never too late.

 

[marvin martian]

Gwen Iffil passed, and so the bad news keeps accumulating.

It's Trump's fault. Or Bush's. Or something...

 

[marvin martian]

Yep. He's free as a bird to post here. It just doesn't pay what it used to, that's all.

Shills gotta shill...

I don't think he's a socialist.

 

[Capitalist]

Don't sweat it. The fact you are ready to defend Trump's racist and bigoted statements is enough.

Thanks.

Said the guy who refuses to say anything about Clinton's own personal War on Women.

Hypocrisy much?

Yes that's right. Hypocrite you. Embrace it.

Tell me. Do you think it helps to call Trump supporters racist bigots? You think you're going to gain anything by it?

Or are you just pushing more people away from you and towards him?

What does your big fat shoe say about that?

 

[Deleted member 21794]

You're absent? I hadn't noticed...

So you're going to post on what you believe is more fertile ground? A liberal echo chamber? Good for you!

I think I know the PERFECT place for him to post.

I, the Giant Shoe, who just made you the mouse to my cat who wields that giant shoe, don't know what a metaphor is.

Stomping you was, or is, not going to be the payoff I had hoped - that is evident. Yet my incipient exit may have to wait a while if you, the mouse, another metaphor, continues to provoke me with a silly, "Wot?'

See how the mouse plays with the cat? Yet another metaphor though definitely mixed some.



So, a metaphor, in your view, is comparing a person's appearance, looks, to retaining a position while leading over a great bloodletting never seen since 1924, not because of talent, but because of gobs of cash given to loyal minions.

That's not a metaphor; that is drivel.

Bring it on, little mouse, that's a metaphor by the way, because thanks to you, perhaps, the Giant Shoe might not take a break - another metaphor.

Anyway, pending a reply from the little mouse, metaphorically speaking, I will be taking a break from this forum.

Also, I'm going to continue my op-ed to the end since I feel I owe it to the people who have viewed and responded to it, and more importantly, there are questions and concerns I also feel compelled to answer. I'm just that way. The obligations I've made to myself and others hold sway over my emotion... for the most part. I am human after all.

Mr. Bitter,

Wow, all that blather, and you still haven't addressed the original point.

You liberals do love your non sequiturs, wot?

I often pointed out that it was unlikely that any poster here, liberal or conservative, was a paid activist, for the simple reason that Political Jack would be a poor target for paid work, given its small audience of mostly hard-core partisans. You could post here for years and be lucky to sway a single vote. It would be more cost-effective to target forums with a lot more people, or at least people who are less entrenched in their positions. That point has a broader implication. Posting about politics here is self-indulgent, in that the same time and effort would do a lot more good elsewhere. So, if people are curious about my absence, that's the reason. I'm going to be more strategic about where and how I post.

I figured you were either in mourning or rehab. Good idea though; there are plenty of forums around the internet, in far more dire need, than PJ, of Liberal bullshit that you can provide.

We've known each other for a good ten years and over several forums....
I have always had words of praise for your contributions but found that dealing with you on a one to one basis was certainly much less than self indulgent.
Your Avatar says it all about you....you really do see yourself as descending from on high and follow the typical lefty mantra of no retreat, no admission, no apologies. I have enjoyed reading your stuff nonetheless.

Frankly I find this particular post rather disingenuous. If you reason for being here was self indulgent....what exactly has changed and why do you feel the need to explain? Curious really.

As far a PJ being a poor target I totally disagree. PJ is probably one of the best places on the web to try out a political hack line to see what it might stir up in the way of a sample reaction from the other side.

There is no doubt in my mind that the constant level of droning at the pace and sophistication that has been generated on this board over the past two years is not privately sourced. I have noted more than once prosaic simile that screams " SAME AUTHOR WITH A DIFFERENT MONIKER " specifically on this sub-forum. I took it to mean that I was posting in the presence of professionals who do propaganda and spin for a living.

Good luck with the progressive Agenda...say hi to your supervisor for me will you?

I agree. Seems like more than just an end to a self-indulgent hobby.

And "convincing minds?" That's his goal? If so, he doesn't know what self-indulgent means and political forums in general are about the worst choice.

If he really wants to convince minds he needs to generate false videos on Youtube that promote his brand of communism. Themes like managers and capitalists eating babies. But that requires more time and money. . .which he just ran out of.

A farewell from a computer bank unplugged due to DNC meltdown?

 

[Barbella]

I think I know the PERFECT place for him to post.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I wouldn't doubt he's there... LOL. Those idiots will lap up his drivel adoringly and put him on a pedestal for his amazing, mind-boggling 'intelligence'...

Gee, one would think a person with an IQ of 160 would have realized the time to be more strategic was BEFORE the election.
