    This describes our liberal Fidonet friends pretty accurately.

    Let me see if I got this right. There's obviously a new definition here, does it look like this (the old one 1. and 2. the new one 3.)

    liberal noun:
    plural noun: liberals

    1. a supporter of socially progressive policies that promote social welfare.

    2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

    MAGA addition:

    3. a socialist, globalist, Marxist shit pig bastard who'll take away all your freedom and your money, rape your wife and daughters and then kill you

    Shall 3. replace 1. and 2. or shall stay this way, just as a reminder of the crazy MAGA cult time.

    What a crazy conspiracy theory. You know this how? Because your orange deity, Ayatollah Trump, told you so?

    Please cite the actual laws that those liberals passed. You *do* know that passing laws is the *only* tool that Congress has available? Except, of course, executive order from the POTUS, but he's not a liberal.

    In fact, you have fewer than a dozen liberals on the Hill -- true liberals, as defined in 1. and 2.

    Liberals voted for Biden, and Biden immediately began replacing American born citizens with foreign born undocumented migrants. Congress has refused to deal with migrants for decades. It's been handled by Obama, Trump, and Biden. Trump had the lowest number of border-crossings and Biden has the highest.

    Congress should handle it, but they don't. But if liberals didn't vote for Biden, then we'd still have the border under control. This mess should be blamed on liberals; people who watch too much tv.

    Everyone has a different definition of everything. To me, a vaccine is something that gives immunity against infection, and a liberal is a person

    Smallpox vaccines and polio vaccines were also a badge of honor, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't a political issue.

    Considering the vaccinations for covid were developed and deployed under Trump's administration, I'm really surprised at how many Republicans refused to get one. Trump even said people should!

    Is there no end to the cowardice of MAGAts?

    If this Third definition is of our time. OR if this is how you and others (people who think, just the way you do) see me and my people on the right. Then consider, there is an action for every reaction - a counterpoint.

    Where liberals promote woke-ism, The problem with wokeness is that it doesn't inspire action; it freezes it. To be woke is first and foremost to put yourself on display. To make a problem seem massively intractable is to inspire separation building a wall between you and the problem not a solution.

    Remember Black Lives Matter - another woke idea that failed. The neighborhoods and the people within never saw the benefits of what was promised in BLM and yet the same urban folks tend to vote for democratic again and again and what they are left with are broken promises made by democratic politicians.
    They feel initially feel euphoric with "Yes we can" then reality sets in and it becomes "No you can't" and this somehow is the fault of the Caucasians?

    Woke Liberals will never run out of victims that need saving.
    The problem is with woke-ism is that there are no solutions, it's always
    easier to blame someone else.

    Thank you, Greg, for reminding me of another word that needs to be revised in the 1984 edition. It's also a typical example of how the MAGA cult takes one word, twists it 180 degrees, and declares to the World that this is the true definition.

    The original definition is from the black movement a century ago, when agitators wanted the oppressed black people to wake up (and they *woke* in large numbers. It went like this:

    1. being aware of social injustice and acting and doing something about it.

    2. standing up and recognizing, articulating and explaining the traumas happening to them.

    For further reference about the Black Equity fight a century ago, start with Marcus Garvey circa 1923.

    Does this include burning down cities or the chaos seen when department stores are looted. Many department stores and even the biggest retailers like Wal*Mart are closing locations due to this behavior.

    Where is the audio and/or video footage of Trump making phonecalls to house members to ask them to keep the border open? We need to proof because it sounds like a fake story.

    This is the reason why the Democrats are trying to stop Trump with these phony indictments.
    It's at least two fold - it is very likely more then two fold.
    1. The left is trying to change the American public opinion of Trump, so that he is viewed as unfavorable and not win the Presidency. They will FAIL!
    The media is sharing the very same bed as the Democratic Party.
    All of these so called Trump charges will be proven as a scam and a injustice. (just as the Russian Dossier was proven to be hoax, just as the Robert Mueller investigation did not have result that was intended.
    The the allocations that grew into 2 impeachments...
    The facts speak for themselves as Trump was acquitted twice.
    All of these so called indictments against Trump will have the same fate. Failure. Trump will be exonerated in every single solitary charge.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    This describes our liberal Fidonet friends pretty accurately.

    Let me see if I got this right. There's obviously a new definition here, does it look like this (the old one 1. and 2. the new one 3.)

    liberal noun:
    plural noun: liberals

    So far, so good ...

    1. a supporter of socially progressive policies that promote social welfare.

    Depends on whose social welfare you are talking about.

    2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

    Everyone can promote whatever they want. It is who must provide
    that is the question. Of course, we all know that everything ought
    to be free. But who is man enough to admit it?

    MAGA addition:

    3. a socialist, globalist, Marxist shit pig bastard who'll take away all your freedom and your money, rape your wife and daughters and then kill you

    Trump is right. Trump is always right. How many times do I have
    to tell you that? Haven't you heard it enough times by the MAGA
    crowd? You know they are telling the truth. As found on Trump's
    own site - Truth Social.

    Shall 3. replace 1. and 2. or shall stay this way, just as a reminder of the
    crazy MAGA cult time.

    Shall is a power word. Not a wimpy word like "should". Remembeer
    that, and you'll be just fine.

    Straight from MAGAland,
    Lee

    Hello Mike,

    Liberals voted for Biden, and Biden immediately began replacing
    American born citizens with foreign born undocumented migrants.
    Congress has

    HAHAHAHA! I suppose planes are spraying us with chemtrails, we never went to the moon, and the earth is flat. Satellites don't exist either, right?

    Please. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Everybody knows about
    those chemtrails, and what is in them, protecting us all from the
    effects of global warming. And Stanley Kubrick's short film series
    about men walking on the Moon (all made in Las Vegas). And let's
    not forget about the four corners of the Earth, proving the Earth
    is flat as a pancake.

    refused to deal with migrants for decades. It's been handled by Obama,
    Trump, and Biden. Trump had the lowest number of border-crossings and
    Biden has the highest.

    Congress should handle it, but they don't.

    Congress had the opportunity to do so. But Trump told them not to, so that he could use the border as a campaign issue.

    Trump had a Republican-controlled Congress and he still could not
    get it done. Wny not? Because Trump does not want a comprehensive
    border control deal to be made. Better to blame Democrats for all
    his failures as a POTUS.

    Biden offered Republicans a way out, but they refused the deal after
    they had accepted it - just like they are pretending to be in favor of
    helping Ukraine in its war against Russia.

    It could be better right now, but because MAGA cultists are more afraid of Trump than anything, it isn't.

    You would be afraid of a fat man who smears his face with brown
    stuff every time he makes an appearance, too. Not just afraid, but
    very afraid.

    Biden, then we'd still have the border under control. This mess AT>should
    be blamed on liberals; people who watch too much tv.

    In fact, you have fewer than a dozen liberals on the Hill -- true
    liberals, as defined in 1. and 2.

    Everyone has a different definition of everything. To me, a vaccine is
    something that gives immunity against infection, and a liberal is a

    No vaccine has ever conferred 100% immunity against anything in 100% of vaccinated individuals, So your definition is flawed.

    There is only one vaccine that confers 100% immunity against
    infection - and we all know what that is. Those who are unable
    to figure it out are excused.

    who votes for wasteful Democrats, but to a liberal, a vaccine is a
    badge
    of honor, and a liberal is a conservative.

    Smallpox vaccines and polio vaccines were also a badge of honor, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't a political issue.

    It was, and is, a political issue. Containers of the smallpox
    virus are kept by the USA and Russia, but presumably not to be
    used as weapons. Polio affected many in this country, including
    a president, and remains an issue to this day. The MMR vaccine
    has been around, but some folks refuse to get vaccinated or
    have their children vaccinated.

    Yes, this is a very political issue.

    Considering the vaccinations for covid were developed and deployed under Trump's administration, I'm really surprised at how many Republicans refused to get one. Trump even said people should!

    There have been problems with the covid vaccines/boosters. Not all
    persons should get vaccinated, and maybe it is time to discontinue
    this mad policy of mass vaccinatiion. Not that RFK, Jr. knows what
    he is talking about.

    Is there no end to the cowardice of MAGAts?

    Relax. Trump is 78 years old. Or will be, very soon. Almost as old
    as Biden. And you know what happens when people get old ...

    There's no coincidence, only collusion. All Democrats are on board wi The Great Replacement.

    This is the reason why the Democrats are trying to stop Trump with these phony indictments.
    It's at least two fold - it is very likely more then two fold.

    Definitely. But here's the good that comes out of it: From now on, when we're not sure who we want for president, we just have to go with whichever candidate gets the most hate from Democrats and from the media. Whoever makes them sweat the most, that's our guy.

    For a brief moment on inauguration day in 2017, I pictured Trump being
    sworn in with his hair trimmed short, no bronzer, a properly fitting, conservative suit and tie, and imagined him being a celebrity president
    who chose and listened to an intelligent, experienced cabinet to make
    policy.

    Boy, was I wrong.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    You would be afraid of a fat man who smears his face with brown
    stuff every time he makes an appearance, too. Not just afraid, but
    very afraid.

    His ears show his proper colour. Around the eyes, he looks like someone who
    played golf in bright sunshine for hours with sunglasses on.

    Wearing sunglasses while playing golf makes all the sense in the
    world. But only if the shades are blue, making it easier to spot the
    balls that you hit (hopefully onto the fairway). Of course, there is
    nothing you can do about the balls that go into the water ...

    Japanese know better than to play golf with sunglasses or in bright
    sunlight. At the end of their working day, they hop onto a plane and
    go to Hawai'i, where they play golf at night. And then, they go into
    the clubhouse and have breakfast, before heading back home on an
    airplane to Japan.

    Can you imagine the jury members, who must be in the same room all day for weeks, maybe months? I bet they can't resist stealing a glance at him and wondering what kind of scary monster lures behind that hideous, smeared mask.

    He says he is going to testify. Forcing everybody to look his way.
    Assuming he does not plead the fifth, his side of the story might
    prove to be very interesting ...

    His lawyers will never allow it. He's a pathological liar, so he can't help himself -- he just *has* to tell lies every time he opens his mouth.
    He can't tell the difference between lying in public or on national TV and lying in a courtroom, but I guess he could soon find out...

    Hello Bj”rn,

    He says he is going to testify.

    His lawyers will never allow it. He's a pathological liar, so he can't help
    himself -- he just *has* to tell lies every time he opens his mouth.

    One potential juror walked into the courthouse, saw him sitting
    at a table, and could not stop herself from laughing out loud.
    She could wind up on the jury, deciding his fate.

    He can't tell the difference between lying in public or on national TV and lying in a courtroom, but I guess he could soon find out...

    I do not know the psychiatric term for pathological liar.
    But whatever it is, it would render him criminally insane,
    thus ensuring a jury's verdict of "not guilty" by reason
    of insanity.

    For Life,
    Lee
