Hey mags. Let's get off all this impeachment stuff as this is a coronavirus thread. Sound fair enough? I'm done discussing anything on impeachment. I admire your attempt at deflecting though.

 

[magnifier661]

Abuse of power falls under other high crimes and misdemeanors....keep on spinning.

Actually, no it doesn't. There was no actual "criminal statute" presented to congress or the Senate. Keep on spinning...

 

[wizenheimer]

Where is your condemnation of these posts?

in my original post

Okay... Definitely taking this thread off track. I'll stop.

Let's talk about what an asshole I am!

I'll start.

I'm an asshole!

I'm an asshole!

But I'm also innocent.

There is no such thing as innocence. Being just a little bit asshole is a part of what makes us human. Ask any proctologist.

I'm not seeing anything in those posts that is insulting to you personally.

Calvin Natt I did PM him last night and asked him to stop with the personal insults.

I never said he did. He just insults every one who doesn't agree with him in general.

Hi, welcome! You must be new to the internets. The internets are a series of insulting tubes....

Now why do you have to insult me like that?

Well, that’s one way of forcing mitigation...


Indonesia deploying ‘ghosts’ to scare people into staying inside and it’s actually terrifying
Evie Breese2 days ago

A village on the island of Java have recruited volunteer ghosts to scare people in to staying at home, but for some, they've had the opposite effect.

Indonesia's leaders including President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) have been slow to react to the coronavirus pandemic and resisting a national lockdown. The capital Jakarta has ordered a two-week closure of offices, and banned gatherings of more than five people but has not directly ordered people to stay at home, as reported by VOA.

Instead, there have been information campaigns to urge individuals to practise social distancing and good hygiene. But with the highest rate of coronavirus deaths in Asia after China, some communities have decided to take matters into their own (washed) hands.

And since Indonesian's love all things horror – the archipelago's folklore contains hundreds of tales of ghosts and gouls – what better tool to keep people indoors than... GHOSTS!

Yes! And my point is its me who gets called out for so little, when others do so much more...

Im done with this convo....

 

[e_blazer]

Now why do you have to insult me like that?

Good news! I checked with a vet and you're included in the a-hole positive group.

is it better to be a positive asshole than a negative one?

 

[yankeesince59]

Okay, what did I say then? You told me that I said Trump got a approval spike during the impeachment hearings. RCP proves that.

You pointed to Sondland's testimony in your reply to @Sly...Sondland's testimony was in November. As far as the impeachment hearings, you must have forgotten how long they lasted...so which day during the hearings are you claiming that gave Trump this supposed "bump"?

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Let's talk about what an asshole I am!

I'll start.

I'm an asshole!

I was going to tell the forum what your wife calls us both but I didn't want to be an asshole.

But......

She nicknamed me Classic and I didn't get it at first.

Then she told me she calls you Cock Zero because it tastes like the real thing but is less filling.

 

[yankeesince59]

is it better to be a positive asshole than a negative one?

Yes, but negative assholes apply only to non-GOP supporters.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Who has received their stimulus check? The IRS status thingy says I'm supposed to have it direct deposited today but most of my friends and coworkers got theirs at midnight which I find a bit odd.

I already said I wouldn’t go on with this, but I’ll stop with after this one.

I already responded that his polling got a bump in November as well. Look at the RCP list. It goes back that far.

My sister, friends and some family members got theirs when they checked this morning.

I wonder if they are getting distributed at different points of the day.

LOL...That was pretty f'n funny.

I don’t know. Could be quite possible.

Sigh...again, if you're so inclined, go back and read the convo with Sly. And I'm VERY familiar with RCP and how it works.

But if you wanna let it go, that's OK too.

Trump Announces He Has Hidden 5 Golden Tickets Among Stimulus Checks
April 15th, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Trump has built up a lot of buzz over the coming stimulus payments, saying he has hidden five golden tickets among the checks heading to Americans this week.

Anyone who gets a golden ticket will win a free tour of Mar-a-Lago. Rumor has it that Trump will be watching them closely to see which of the winners has the qualities he looks for in a manager, with the best candidate getting hired as Mar-a-Lago's onsite McDonald's manager.

"Who will win? Nobody knows!" Trump said gleefully as he carefully signed each of the golden tickets before hiding them among the stimulus checks. "I, Donald Trump, have decided to allow five Americans — just five, mind you, and no more — to visit my resort this year. These lucky five will be shown around personally by me, and they will be allowed to see all the secrets and the magic of my hotel and golf resort -- the best golf, maybe ever. Then, at the end of the tour, as a special present, all of them will be given Season 1 of The Apprentice on DVD!"

"So watch out for the Golden Tickets! Five Golden Tickets have been printed on golden paper, and these five Golden Tickets have been hidden in your stimulus checks. These five may be anywhere — in any mailbox in the country. And the five lucky finders of these five Golden Tickets are the only ones who will be allowed to visit my Mar-a-Lago during the lockdown. Good luck to you all!"

Unfortunately, he put all five golden tickets in a stimulus envelope addressed to Jim Acosta.

Pretty sure that assholes work adequately either way.

My sister, friends and some family members got theirs when they checked this morning.

My Brother in Law and a nephew got theirs today via EFT/direct deposit...looks like mine and my wife's will be much later, because we filed jointly and had to pay in last year.
