trump is a terrible negotiator. You always go into a negotiation with multiple outs. trump had only one out so the dems had him by the balls. No wonder he has had so many companies go bankrupt.

Congrats on the win Manic. Figured it would end this way, for now at least. Big waste of frigging time, as usual.

It was supposed to be a friendly wager. Sad to see anyone leave this forum, as it's members slowly dwindle in numbers (at least that's the impression I get). I hope welfare will return. I would hope the same for Manic if he had lost. Welfare appears to be a man of word, worthy of more respect than he ever received here.

Manic, good job.
I'll be honest, I've kinda found your diligence admirable.
I think maybe you're gonna miss it. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Catch y'all on the flip side.
Peace

I feel bad for the kid, any single one of us can easily step on the wrong side of one of these social media assassination attempts in this day and age.
That said, you're asking for it these days wearing that hat given what it's identified with. Why not just throw your BoSox one on and be done with it instead of always trying to make a statement unless you're fully prepared to deal with the fallout. |
Literally wearing a red hat that says "Make American Great Again" is viewed along the same lines as wearing a white hood. That's what Donald Trump brought to the table. Wear that hat in certain neighbourhoods in the states, you will get your ass handed to you.
Funny thing, the native guy across the kid is a known liar and troll.
Now, even with folks who have not seen the video, the media has antagonized the kid as the bad guy because he was wearing the MAGA hat. Like you said, if you watch the video, other than wearing that fucking hat, I don't think the kid did anything wrong.

I see a fair amount of support from hispanics and african americans for trump too (no, not kanye)

30% is a shitty stat man. i wouldn't want to go up against that.
remember, they're humans. they'll figure ways out to fuck u up without guns, or even showing their faces.

30% of 360 million people is 120 million. No army in the world is that large and well armed to beat that.

USA has 325 million citizens and approximately 30% own at least one firearm according to 2017 statistics (and about 42% have access to a gun in their household).
So 97.5 million people with at least one gun.

Also only about 6% of the 97.5 million gun owners are NRA members. Guns don't seem like a big priority to a lot of people who own guns.

Also only about 6% of the 97.5 million gun owners are NRA members. Guns don't seem like a big priority to a lot of people who own guns. | Guns in America: Attitudes and Experiences of Americans | Pew Research Center Quote:
Roughly three-quarters of Americans who currently own a gun (73%) say they can’t see themselves ever not owning one, and this is the case among majorities of gun owners across demographic groups.
Perhaps not surprisingly, those who see owning a gun as central to their overall identity are particularly committed to gun ownership. For example, 89% of gun owners who see owning a gun as very or somewhat important to their overall identity say they can’t see themselves ever not owning a gun, compared with 58% of those who say owning a gun is not too important or not at all important their sense of identity.
And while 85% of gun owners who say the right to own guns is essential to their sense of freedom say they can’t see themselves ever not owning a gun at some point, 41% of those who don’t see the right to own guns as essential say the same.
| It's a substantial number of people. Keep in mind that US private citizens own more guns than the next 25 countries combined.
