Long time netizens of this board: What do you think of the new people?

He ran on being a white man.
The Democrats did not run a white man against him.
Trump has still never beaten a man.
You should probably let people form their own opinions before you start making up lies. I can and have at least admitted that I would have been myself but I also would have banned 50+% of the people that came over here. Which is basically the reason this all happened. The mod let certain posters do whatever they wanted. I called him out on it and he lied to me multiple times and I never once harassed his wife.
now tell them all about how 10 -15 posters harassed me and my family members every time I posted something. I’m sure they would like to hear that side of the story.
maybe share how @Torbee mentioned my toddler should be in war and that he would drown looking up at the sky when it was raining.
I am and I’m sure you can clearly see the hatred because I’m not in their clique. They can’t accept someone being different than them and they are clueless to it.
He's not even worth that type of response man.
since you asked, here's what I know about trump as a sexual predator...he was found liable for sexual assault of Jean Carroll. So that makes him a sexual abuser. Can't be any debate about that as long as the decicion stands.
I also know he has been accused of sexual assault in the Epstein case. But supposedly that was investigated and no charges have been filed.
Beyond that point I have no idea of trump's sexual life. And to be honest, it is not something that I have paid much attention to.
not sure which conclusion I have jumped to, especially a lot. But, I've been corrected before.
Insofar as my groupthink comment. I have been on this board for a while and another before this. Since the "migration" there have been more similar comments - not just likes - from the group than either this or the other board. Now, as someone pointed out the new group is more anti trump than pro and that might well be the reason. But, it just seems to me that there is not a lot of pushback from any of the new guys on the comments of the other posters. Now, admittedly, I haven't done a count, and don't intend to, but if you can point out the error of my ways, I certainly will pay attention.
calvary or cavalry?
did I pass??
to save time, I also believe Biden won in 2020....had to, he was president for 4 years.
Not so fast my friend. He's beaten himself plenty of times.
There was nothing to pass. Just checking on how much you're like both sides bins from our old board. Similarities are strong, which means we're gonna get along great
Have your read your post? It is full of hasty generalizations and logical fallacies of the undistributed middle.
just wanted to make sure there wasn't a cross in my future
if it helps seal the deal, when I first joined this board some referred to me as "both sides" and not in a loving wayThere was nothing to pass. Just checking on how much you're like both sides bins from our old board. Similarities are strong, which means we're gonna get along great
of course is general, as I said, I haven't counted the posts, and I don't intend to. But just so we get a long, whenever I come across as being unfair or too general just point it out. I'm more than willing to accept constructive criticism. I know I'm not always right, and am equally certain I'm not always wrong either.
If you're here for the GB, JHP and m.knox are right through the door, limbered up and ready to receive.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Ole mclovin responding to himself again, still can’t remember to switch handles before posting.
Ahhh - so you’ve figured out Ned. He’s our McGibbs.
so I assume that's an insult..interesting that tenacious - he who questioned my statement on groupthink - liked it.
so the mocking begins...
I liked someone agreeing with me. Jaw dropper. Lighten up.
So Ned’s a dude that can form his own thoughts and ideas? Sounds like a cool dude.
Second verse same as the first
it's only been a couple of days with the new guys and I can tell already that there's not a lot of that going on.
I guess schools these days don't teach critical thinking any more.
But, in fairness, it's only been a couple of days. I don't want to jump to conclusions too soon
Or, you haven’t part of the debate for years and rather than seeing how the sausage was made you are seeing conclusions.
I
It seems to me, without empirical evidence, that there are many who only accept that their conclusions are correct and that everybody else is wrong. I've been around longer than most on here, and I've yet to run across the individual who is always right. He might be out there, but I haven't met him yet.
I really don't need to see the sausage made...and I accept the conclusions as the specific belief of the person with the conclusion. . But, the difference is that sometimes, not all, my conclusions are different that those who made their own. I see things through the filter of my education and my life experiences, just as everybody else does. In most, or at least many, circumstances, reasonable people will try to figure out where the other person's conclusions come from, because it's just possible that his/hers conclusions are more correct than their own. As I have posted many times...I know I'm not always right, but I also know I'm not always wrong. It's entirely possible, and on some topics, likely, somebody knows more than I do. But the opposite of that is that I might just be more knowledgeable about a specific topic than another.

I will say this, there are a few of us here on the far left who I feel the same way about, as well as the far right. Truth holders in their own minds. I feel like most of us, like most of society, are somewhere in the middle of the ends of the spectrum. I think you are attributing truthholder status too broadly. If we are here long enough, that should become self evident.
Also, I might have missed it but I don’t seem to see a response to my question: As a retired vet, what do you think of what he’s done with NATO and Ukraine?
Old-timers have seen me post this before....I represented the US at NATO twice - once when I worked in Army Aviation R&D in the Pentagon and then later when I worked for a defense company as member of the NIAG (NATO Industrial Advisory Group).
I have probably a little different perspective than most..But in a nutshell, NATO countries have been using the US as the bank for decades. There is a common funding requirement that covers basic expenses, overhead and then of course the direct funding for defense budgets. The US pays the highest % of this common budget - 16% - and one of the highest, if not the highest % of GDP for direct funding, and bears the largest -2/3 - of the alliance's military capacity. . There are also some more expenses for shared R&D, studies and the like. In my experience NATO nations are all for shared excursions, studies, R&D, but when you get to the bottom line who pays, the shares change and everyone looks to the US. IMO, the US has been played for suckers for decades....but only because we felt in was in our best interests to put ourselves in that situation. But, all in all, no one can make a case that the US doesn't pay more than it's fair share
I'm all in favor of pushing our allies to live up to their individual state's defense funding commitments, and IMO they need to step up with some additional capacity. After all it is their defense at stake.
Now having said that, our president could, and should, handle his criticisms with a little more panache. Sticking fingers in our allies eyes is not the best way forward IMO
I've been out of the game for going on 20 years now, so my thoughts on Ukraine are not better or worse than anybody else that reads the news or watches TV. Couple of my thoughts though...once again Russia has been shown to be not the "giant bear" that have been made out to be: the war has changed the concept of operations in that drones have reshaped the battlefield: the US has not yet learned to fight war as a war - we watch as Russia attacks Ukrainian cities but limit how Ukraine uses the weapons we give them: I like the concept of the US selling weapons to European nations and letting them provide to Ukranians.
I don't know if the Ukranian blurb answers your question. I'm a firm proponent of the Powell doctine..if you're going to fight a war...fight the war...feel the same way about Iran, although you didn't ask.
