It was a little slow through the winter but since the weather started warming up my partner and I have not had time to wind our watches smile The good news is it is fun and satisfying work and keeps me out of the bars lol
If you built one for yourself in your backyard, it looks like you brought the bar to you. Well done!

The Racist Biden Administration gets hit for 3rd time from another judge.

Your party has been lying about it for decades though and you personally have voiced it several times on this forum....
You fell for the straw man. This topic is about the misleading Daily Wire article about the Farm Aid bill that Davis swallowed hook, line, and sinker. James correctly explained the bill and its faults.  So instead of admitting his mistake, Davis brings up the KKK, Jim Crow, party switching, and a bunch of other crap that has nothing to do with the topic. Classic straw man.

The title of the thread IS what I made it, which is the racist Biden Administration and the racist Democrat party over the centuries.  Does that click with you?

Apparently, you don't get it.  I didn't change the topic, I made the topic. Get it?

So there wasn't any diversion or mistake by me as you're implying, I used the Farm Bill knock down by 3 different judges, to cement a point about the Racism of the Democrat Party over the decades.  

That was the subject of my posting.  Look at the body of my posting. 

So there is NO straw man, because I dictated the subject.  Wow, your brain power is just something to behold at time.  

And since you claim that the Daily Wire article is misleading, go and explain what was misleading in the article.

My guess is that you'll be scratching your head.  
LOL. The first line of your screed reads: "Being that the left has become (well they always were) the party of racism and racists, is it no surprise that a 3rd judge recently struck down the racist farm aid program that Joe Biden put in place."  Then you provide a link to the article. James did a great job explaining what was misleading about the article (you might want to read it again). Then of course your "but the KK, but Jim Crow!"

Right. And with that, no more time to waste on you.

Three States Cause 40% Of Covid Cases

That said, it cracks me up how you always fall for the administration's spin.  Did you know that yesterday 42% of all US cases were in three states?  Yep, shame on you and yours.
Ok, that made me laugh. Thanks!

Which "Offical" Trump Card Will You Buy?

How can anyone forget all the homophobic vitriol he hurled at Eric Gage a while back?  It's too bad all that history was erased.

And she doesn't "head the NIH". She teaches ethics at the NIH, among other things. She has nothing to do with drug approval.

Two seconds of research.

Complete Chaos and Getting Worse, so says H.R. McMaster

I asked all RINOs and those who voted for Biden a question and you haven't answered it yet.

When you answer mine, I'll answer yours.  Got it.

The only person who has been hiding under his desk is you for the last week or so.

Are you happy you voted for this loser because your tender little mind couldn't handle all the mean tweets from the big bad orange man? 

You in fact were the one who told us that nothing would really change and the nation could handle 4 years of Joe Biden's screw ups.

That's playing out well isn't it.

Brilliant! 

Here are a few facts for you to chew on.

1.  Joe Biden on DAY 1, cancelled the Keystone Pipeline yet he left the Russians to build their pipeline, encouraged it even.  I don't where you live but my gas prices have DOUBLED since Jan.  

2.  Joe Biden OPENED the borders wide and we have the biggest influx of illegal aliens in well over a decade, perhaps more.  Yep, those MS13 gang members and the increase in Drugs coming across that southern border are a really good thing, right?  Also, all the COVID positive illegals are being shipped all over the nation. 

3.  Joe Biden screwed up the Afghanistan situation.  Are you one of those who are blaming Donald Trump for this disaster? 

Those are simply a few things off the top of my head.

Congratulations for your brilliant move in voting in Joe Biden, really smart..  
Wow, this sounds like your imitation of Jim's imitation of you. This thread has turned out to be laugh out loud funny!  Thank you for the laughs you two.

You're doing a terrific impersonation (I read your later posts). Keep up the good work - funny stuff!

I know many, many veterans who have some common sense.  They are outraged over what Joe Biden did.

What's your take on it?  

I've yet to have any of my buddies say, this guy did it right.

So have at it.  

I'll expect the sound of crickets.  wink
Ok, serious answer to your question here - no I am not. I'm also not deluded enough to think that Trump would have done any better. Probably much worse based on how he handled everything else that required intelligence and finesse.

You may now proceed with your name-calling.
