Regarding binau's comments, they are far more reasonable and worthy of thoughtful responses (should you choose to respond) than so many others here. Given historical patterns demonstrated on this board, it is no surprise not everyone who has chosen to respond is capable of thoughtful responses.



MysteriousLady made a comment about Sutton Ross that has since been deleted. It is peculiar what the moderators will allow (kdogg's??) and what they won't. For the record MysteriousLady, I believe your comments about Sutton Ross were based on what you have (accurately) observed of him/her."

You make a lot of excellent points Paul. Binau is always interesting even when I disagree with him. Others (who I will not name but we all know) simply create a toxic atmosphere.

Seconded.

Edit- post #49, that is.

Re: Kamala owning a gun, I guess at first I couldn’t fathom why a VP protected by the secret service would even need or want a gun. Thinking about it, I guess it dates back to her days as a prosecutor and the inherent risks that came with that.

Shrug. I’m still saddened.

I kept it on, I taped it, and once he just starting going off the rails I shut it off. I may pop back in with my finger on the FF button to see the rest. I just can't listen to him for more than a minute. In my opinion, we really don't need a second debate. It will be the same thing. Just do the VP debate and be done with them. JMO"

Wow, this is really interesting. This is the first criticism of Linsey or David I have heard. I thought they were so much better than Jake and Dana because they called Trump out on most of his lies and corrected him. That is why I liked them better. Although thinking back, David called him "President Trump" which someone should have corrected. I don't think they'll debate again (no need) but I am looking forward to the insanity of the VP one. Jesus.

Following last night's debate, Tim Walz was interviewed on MSNBC. Once again, I was impressed by how articulate he is. Although there were two other possible candidates (both military veterans) I had hoped Kamala Harris would choose to be by her side as VP, boy, am I happy she selected Tim Walz.

We Are Not Going Back

He hunts?

Yes, he is so Midwestern. Ha. And I say that as a compliment. Kamala knew she needed someone like him since she's a fabulous Coastal Elite and having that combination is really important. He is grounded and you know he'll bust out some hilarious jokes at JD's expense. Couches and cats come to mind 😉

Oh and I completely agree with you on that poster being sexist regarding the gun question. The fact that they started a (deleted) thread and stated "I just want a better understanding of why Kamala carries!" but has judged her and is now coming for Tim Walz? Talk about predictable and sad.

Hunting is legal. So is being a responsible gun owner. Just an FYI for people pretending that they don't understand that.

Seems not.

How DARE I attempt to discuss the contents of last night’s debate in a Debates thread. Guns repulse me. Pheasant-hunting repulses me.

Harris Walz still have my vote, just not my undying admiration and stanhood at all times on every issue. The gun problem was not touched on at all, except for Kamala reassuring gun-owners they had nothing to worry about. This resulted in my ass being filled with my head, apologies.

i don’t think you really understand the point of the criticism. To raise a question why a progressive leadership own guns does not mean they are being accused of a ‘gun hoarding lunatic’. These arguments are so binary and so shallow. Not everyone thinks that people should own guns and they are trying to express that point. Clearly you don’t agree and don’t really want to engage in the discussion about it. Fine.

I’m sorry you thought I was being disingenuous. I wasn’t.

I’ll phrase my question another way.

Why does Tim Walz want to kill Bambi’s mother ?

It’s just not normal… to me. I can semi-understand a farmer who uses a gun to protect his chickens from foxes. I genuinely don’t understand why people kill for sport.

Animals do make me emotional, what can I say. Humans too.

I gave up meat completely only recently, perhaps I am hyper-aware of this subject right now. I’m considering going vegan. Perhaps my good friend Highland Guy can give me some advice.

Anyway, I’m not calling for Tim Walz to be publicly stoned. Both he and Kamala are good and kind people, I recognize that. Don Jr and Eric are scum.

The truth is that all three hunt vulnerable animals for sport. A sad fact. Walz launched a deer-hunting festival in Minnesota. I can not begin to comprehend the appeal of that. I acknowledge that elephants and lions are the rarer species, but still, a life’s a life.

I’m not pear clutching.

They don’t do it to eat, be real. They do it for sport, for the thrill of killing. It makes them feel all caveman-like.
