Hello cordeela,
You may do as you wish. I NEVER seek approval for what I say. I never seek for concessions for what I say. I never seek for conditions for what I say. Now, I hope this makes you happy during these sad times but if not then this will mean that you also never seek for approval or conditions .... strange world is it now.
Thank you for backing off and making a post without insulting me. What makes me happy is exchanging political views with others in a respectful way. I do not seek conditions for chatting politics online. I have instead defined them and posted them for all to see:
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
Yes, it is a very strange world. I know that offering respectful dialog on a site full of nastiness is unusual, so I have already accepted that I will have a very large Ignore List. I am on the left, so my list is mostly people on the right, but it also contains people on the left. It has zero to do with politics and everything to do with basic respect.
Some people are able to turn it on and turn it off at will. And they have full control of themselves. If you are able to maintain respect with me I will always return it. If not we won't be talking long. I hope we can share mutual respect from now on, and that we have many very interesting and thought-provoking discussions.
Basically, people come in here and think they have to 'be tough,' and 'able to take it.' And this gives them 'the right to dish it out.' btdt, tired of it.
I neither want to take it nor dish it out. I just want to talk politics and learn. If you want a diversion from all the insult contests and want to talk straight politics I'll be here for that.
You said you thought Biden is a fraudster. He has messed up and committed plagiarism in the past, but I feel he has learned his lesson and been very open and remorseful from it. I see him as a man who is able to recognize and learn from his mistakes. I see Trump as a man who is unable to ever admit he made a mistake, so he learns nothing and does not improve. His level of maturity is that of a 12 year old since he basically has not matured any more since that age.
Can you provide any reason for the claim that Biden has committed fraud? Trump has been accused of massive fraud. He had to settle just after he was elected in a very public fraud case related to his now defunct 'Trump University' which turned out to be little more than a fake school which was not accredited and offered no degree. There were no tests, no achievement. Only a few lectures in which the defrauded 'students' were promised to hear directly in person from Trump himself, but that never occurred. Thus, he was charged with fraud in a civil case, and forced to settle because he could not prove otherwise. He paid $25 million to reimburse those he bilked.
His presidency began in disgrace and now it is ending in disgrace. He is about to be impeached for the second time. Shame. We will be better off without him. He belongs in prison. He has brought disgrace and shame to the presidency and to the USA in the world view. Russia and China are making fun of us, pointing at Trump and saying: "See? The USA is terrible!"
