[Old School Hound]

I'm not going to engage in insults and name-calling over politics. I think politicians are crooked on both sides and I don't have much respect for most of the crooks in Washington. I am thankful to the few who speak up and show courage, even when they know it's political suicide. You can count on one hand how many have done that. Ms. Cheney is one of the few.

Again, I'm just going to say I have a difference of opinion on a lot of the issues but because I like and respect you all I am not about to label anyone liars or morons or brainwashed idiots. I just have my opinions, just like you folks do. Let's leave it that. I will say this- when you back up what you say with indisputable proof, I will absolutely believe you. I believe that you believe what you say but I also believe that much of what you say comes from very biased sources. And that's not proof.

For example, I could say Donald Trump phoned the Georgia SOS and presssured Raffy to "find" him 11,780 votes. If I just read that claim on a far left website, that's not good evidence. If I actually heard the conversation on tape for myself(which I did), that's good evidence. When the President or someone from his administration does something evil or criminal and I hear it for myself( as in an actual phone call), I'll believe it. Claims from right-biased websites are not proof.

Again, I'm not gonna spend a bunch of time in here listening to name-calling and belittling of those who disagree with my viewpoints. There are, like, three people who post in this forum now. It has become an extremely boring place that no one seems to care about anymore. Myself and a few others left it behind because of the negativity and the personal insults. I engaged in some of that , too, back then and for that I am very sorry. It is not my intent to cast aspersions on anyone's character. I won't be doing that. No one wants to come here and be belittled. In fact, I will probably only check in every once in awhile whenever something interesting is going on in politics. Politics is corrupt and polarizing and our society is suffering from its divisiveness.
