Wherever you get certificates to call those who don't share your worldview a "racist-in-chief". I have no idea. Ask Zelwhateverhisnameis.

I really pity you Zelwhateveryournameis. You obviously are a certified half-wit. I wish you a speedy recovery. May the Schwartz be with you. Your friend, Charles

LMAO. And Rachel Maddow is open-minded? Gimme a break.

Amen brother. Amen. Hopefully better days lie ahead.

Just click into an open space in the box. Don't click on "explain".

Yes, I've read about the friendliness of the CHOP. It looks very inviting.

Well darn Johnboy. I was trying to agree with you that life would be perfect under Democrat rule all the time. And now you've hurt my feelings. I was considering moving to Seattle to enjoy the Utopia with you. But I'm having second thoughts now.

They weren't when I posted the question last night. They're back this morning. Temporary glitch I guess.

Other than Main and Relaxed?

You obviously missed my point which is not unsurprising since you are the same guy who has argued here previously that "at least" and "at most" mean exactly the same thing. So here is (probably an ill-fated) attempt to clarify it for you: Adam stated My retort was the video of Nancy Pelosi. It appeared to me that she was saying in that interview that she was serving her constituents during the pandemic by eating Godiva chocolate and Jeni's ice cream. And in my view that is an admission of elitism. I hope this helps.

Of course not. But I do remember Nancy Pelosi consoling herself with $12/pint Jeni's ice cream while suffering through her quarantine. Poor pooby!

Perhaps not. But I do remember Obama saying, "They cling to their Bibles and their guns." Granted one Democrat is not a "significant number", but Obama was a fairly "significant" Democrat. I also remember HRC's pronouncement about "a basket of deplorables". Perhaps not significant but in my view it signals the elites' view of ordinary Americans.

The following letter was published in our local newspaper today. I didn't write it. I wish I had. I put it here fwiw. Why do some send letters to the editor of this newspaper with strong political and religious views, many rancorous and with vitriol? Surely, opinions of others will not be changed — maybe it is just vanity or to look good to their own group of like-minded friends or simply to degrade and provoke others. The result invariably seems to be a further polarization and inflammation of our citizenry. While not proposing a particular political or pious point of view, I only ask that writers of letters to this editor simply be more civil and respectful to all others, no matter their beliefs. Democrats have been denounced by writers and others as godless Satan worshipers, immoral, radical, insurrectionist, misguided, corrupt, elitist, election-stealing, looting, lazy, welfare dependent, sniveling complainers, squanderers of our tax dollars, socialists — and pernicious people wanting to propel us to Chinese communist rule. Republicans have been castigated locally and elsewhere as intractable, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, ignorant, immature, gun-toting, trigger-happy, baseless-conspiracy-believing, climate-denying, voter-suppressing, white-supremacist-supporting, COVID-refuting, mask-refusing, rich-rewarding, gerrymandering religious zealots. If political ads are to be believed, all politicians are crooks and liars. Words matter, and this language by both sides, including letters to the editor, does not bring our community together. We must do better. While we all have a First Amendment right to express our views; we ought to be able to disagree with dignity, state our policies and positions, explain what can be improved and inspire others, while refraining from attacking, castigating and demonizing those with whom we disagree. At the same time, we can promote our positions without impugning people — if we just try. We should not get the news solely from Fox, Newsmax, OAN or from other far-right sites just to reinforce our preexisting beliefs, nor should we get news only from MSNBC, Huffington Post or other liberal sites. Try listening to the other side; get your news from multiple reputable sources — you just might learn something and better understand others. Vet those conspiracy theories; use some critical, rational thinking. Watch out for far-left and far-right sources. Learn what is “news” and what is “opinion.” Let us not try to criticize and demonize others just because they do not think like us, believe what we do or even look like us. I may be tilting at windmills, but maybe someone, just someone, might be moved to change their behavior and be more civil to others. That would be a good start.

I hope he nominates you for Secretary of Common Sense.

An astute observation of the blatantly obvious.

Fare thee well pilgrim.

Well the TV commercials here are nauseating. I'm glad you don't have to suffer through them in Massachusetts. Warnock's, primarily, are "Kelly Loeffler made money in the stock market." Loeffler's, primarily, are "Warnock ran over his wife's foot in a domestic dispute." Ossoff's, primarily, are "Perdue made money in the stock market." Perdue's, primarily, are "Ossof's a communist." Sadly, the useful idiots on both sides of the spectrum buy into this kind of bullshit. It's very depressing. I may start drinking.

Yes. Let's send John Kerry over there with James Taylor to do a lengthy rendition of "You've Got A Friend". I'm all for it.

I love Dave Barry.

I have a question. And I'm not looking for a fight; I'm looking for enlightenment. Exactly how do you see life improving for the average American on January 21, 2020? What do you think Harris/Biden will do to make things "all better" for all of us? Ken, you go first. I respect your opinion.

That was not what was intended. It was just a Happy Holidays wish and my opinion that life goes on and that there are things more important than the occupant of the White House. Best regards to you and Becky.

Merry Christmas guys. Or Hanukkah. Or Ramadan. Or Kwanzaa. Or whatever pushes your hot button. May your holidays be filled with love of family and your fellow man. We survived four years of Jimmy Carter, eight years of Barack Obama, four years of Donald Trump; we are all Americans and I'm confident we can survive four years of Joe Biden. Best wishes.
