Political Wasteland

[lagunasecaballs]

Everyone will always find a reason to bitch. My lesbian co-worker has been doing nothing but bitching about Trump for the past week. This morning she was bitching that he didn't accept the presidential salary. "How fucking big is his ego? Why doesn't he just take the salary and donate it to charity, like a LBGT group?"

see, thats the type of person that wont even acknowlege a single thing they do even if they aree.

If he nominates a pro life pro LBGT SC justice, they will bitch that that person is pro 2A.

Cant please them AT ALL

Not having FB or TV has been so, so great. I didn't have to hear or read about a single political thing all weekend. It was 5/7.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I don't think I'm going to use facebook much again. I'm over it.

Yeah, that's when you acknowledge that getting into it with them would be like arguing with an anti-vaccer. Just nod and let them go on their merry way.

I quit it last year in September ish. My life is way better without it.

I might as well quit it. I basically never look at it, and my only contribution is to occasionally jump on and throw some recent photos up for family to enjoy.

[goIftdibrad]

I should quit bookface.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I should quit bookface.

I stopped on Wednesday after it blew up with the election. Gotta say, life is pretty great without it.

[Johnny_P]

Oh, and Trump not taking the presidential salary?
breh. at all.

He doesn't need to. He's president with a red legislative branch. He's working to reduce the EPA down to nothing and reduce green energy spending. Oil company profits will skyrocket. What do you think his personal stock portfolio is made of?

He will make WAY WAY more money through this than $400k. So he can look good on the surface and to the media.

[Johnny_P]

I should quit bookface.

I only have it to keep in contact with family.

I find this kind of ridiculous. I post a few things about political shit basically saying everyone who thinks Trump is going to fuck everything up needs to calm down it is not that bad and everyone loses their fucking minds over it and calls me out, either indirectly or directly - whether half joking or not. Since when did one view of things be the way it is on here? I seriously thought it was a nice discussion, then it blew up. I had no anger, hate or malicious intent, but it seems I was the only one. Sorry that my view of not being hateful towards someone based off of what the media wants you to believe and thinking we should just all relax was so bad. I thought DFD was fun and obviously we all have different views and shit but damn. Say some political things and everything goes to shit.

I won't ever express my views on here about that ever again if that is how it is handled. Not on OT, not on the political punchbowl either.

Back to your regularly scheduled NEEK content-less posts. Being annoying is better than pissing people off.

And there is no draconian rule here. Nobody was censored or silenced. Just discussion taken to a more appropriate on-topic sub forum. Sounds reasonable to me

All my racing/car people are on there, friends from all over... etc.... I just use the filters. no i dont want to see this, fuck this shit, unfollow you, etc... it works well.

Mine exploded so badly from people I didn't even expect. If I used filters, my FB would be blank.

People are allowed to have their own reactions. Which is why we have different forums.

I moved the posts because they don't belong in OT. When they are in OT, people that want to avoid them cannot. Posts were moved to political forum for continued discussion.

On topic discussion was on topic and that has a place in the forum. Seemed like a perfectly reasonable action to take.

Yeah unfollow works well and doesn't make people to see you unfriended them.

So ridiculous. Such 1st world problems. <-- x30

I don't care that they were moved. Only that the perception has become that I was the issue. I didn't get upset. I guess I ruffled some feathers, and the wrong ones to ruffle. C'est la vie.

Mine has been littered with those inspirational picture quote things that say "we will rebuild" and "we have a lot of work to do"

You have work to do? What work are you doing? You have different politicians to elect in 2 years, ok I'll take that. But work?

Come on.

Fwiw President investment go into a blind trust, usually a simply index fund.

Just saying, the man is very money motivated. He wouldn't be not taking a salary if he wasn't going to make it back and more some other way.

I told my wife she should volunteer yesterday. Nope. Excuse city.

Volunteer for what

Protesting is not work. That won't change anything and won't solve anything. And the change.org petitions to get the electors to vote HRC.... yeah NGH get over that too. Trump is president that's that. Get involved in your party if you want to change anything I guess but you have 2 years to go before the next election cycle.
