I’d rather have a jerk dealing with China than someone who couldn’t remember they told North Korea the previous day.
Hi everyone please see below:
All,
Over the past 6 months we have seen a large increase in activity in the non weather related threads. We recognize as the board grows we will slowly transition from just a weather board to a community. With this transition we will be gaining new members with new interests and differing view points. With current global events these differing views and interests become magnified across the community as members express their thoughts, stances, and ideas. This has led us as staff to recognize the need for written guidelines for the board as a whole and independent within threads to ensure the overall climate of the board remains constructive and welcoming. With that being said we want to outline the following general rules:
#1 racist, sexist posts will be immediately deleted and you will be banned from the community
#2 using derogatory terms in posts will be immediately deleted, you will be banned from said thread for 72 hours for the first offense, 120 for the second, permanently for the 3rd.
#3 when you post statistics or something as a fact please cite your source, baseless facts will be subject to deletion.
#4 using the term snowflake, karen, maga to describe someone or a grouping of posters will be subject to deletion. Continual use will subject you to the thread suspensions in point 2.
#5 Drive by 1 liners with the purpose of getting a reaction will subject you to suspensions in point #2
#6 consistently posting the same subject matter over and over or outlandish posts will be deleted. If this continues after deletion you will be subject to suspensions in point #2
#7 posts that aren't directly related to the thread will be removed. Obviously there is a lot of crossover at this time between Corona, politics, sports. Please make sure that your placing your post in the correct thread.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns around any of the outlined points. Our goal isn't to silence you as members it's to make sure that we keep the community as a place folks want to visit as well as keeping the weather side of the board free from carry over issues.

But do you want a jerk to lead our country? A jerk may be good for business, but is a jerk good to be a caring, compassionate leader?

The vaccine itself won’t be the mark of the beast but having that chip in you signifying you have the vaccine very likely could be the mark.Kanye west doesn’t support president Trump anymore. And believes COVID-19 vaccines is mark of the beast. What y’all make of this? Is Kanye right?

On masks :
they should be used. They do help limit transmission of the virus. The confusion some are posting about the masks goes back to a time when there was a shortage for medical personnel.

chip? We don’t need to be chipped. We all are already carrying around a much more powerful device called a smartphone .
If everyone wears masks like I’ve seen people wearing them, it just speeds up heard immunity.

I liked Mr. Rodgers as a kid my man but I want Patton leading my country. Granted I don't want a Trump every 4 years (he isn't for the faint of heart) but I want someone who is "willing" to be a SOB (to his own party as well). I know many of you want and desire unity, but that just isn't reality in my opinion based on what I see around me. The far left isn't interested in unity and Im not interested at all in their vision of America. I believe my viison is a wee bit closer to mainstream

He seems to me to be a caring and or compassionate person. Now he is not towards the Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, and Chuck Shumers of the world, but they are divisive towards him as well.

Touché. However, not everyone has a smart phone especially more elderly people. There will be a way that it is notated on or in a person if they have been vaccinated.

I tell people all the time I am the nicest person in the world or the biggest A-Hole. The version you get depends on you....LOL. I think Trump is like that in many ways......

That doesn't make much sense man......Great business people are not all billionaires or even millionaires.
A chip when getting a vaccine? Sounds like some Alex Jones level garbage.
I was wrong. Psychopaths, not sociopaths.

When it comes to the corporate world, non-violent, corporate psychopaths are not running from the law, but instead, rushing to the executive suite.

He claims he's running for president. That might actually be a good thing for Trump. We'll see.
That doesn't surprise me. I've been sensing this for a few years now.I was wrong. Psychopaths, not sociopaths.

It actually makes sense. You have to have a drive inside you to succeed. The drive cannot have empathy or weakness. You have to be willing to be cutthroat and give zero fcks about everything except forwarding your business (and yourself) at the expense of everyone else.

Yep it helps a lot to get $400 million from daddy, without that money Trump would be a broke bad businessman......how much money he is actually worth is subject to much debate and the reason he does not want his taxes out there.......he is not even close to as wealthy as he claims, the man is a grifter and liar and millions of Americans bought his BS hook line and sinker.....Trump literally was losing more personal wealth than any other single person in the country at one point......he had to have his dad come to his casino's and buy 3.5 million in chips then not use them which is illegal.....I mean the guy is just a crook.....
Trump Castle Admits Gaming Law Violation
The Trump Castle Casino Resort, admitting that a $3.5-million loan from Donald J.
www.latimes.com
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. —
The Trump Castle Casino Resort, admitting that a $3.5-million loan from Donald J. Trump’s father violated state gaming laws, has agreed to a $30,000 penalty, officials said Tuesday.
As a Businessman, Trump Was the Biggest Loser of All
Many Americans still believe that the President is a savvy and successful businessman who knows what he is doing. But the actual record suggests the exact opposite.
“In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, the Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners,” Buettner and Craig write. “His core business losses in 1990 and 1991—more than $250 million each year—were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.”
In case you didn’t take all that in, here is a quick recap: when Trump was portraying himself as a newly minted billionaire and financial genius, his core businesses were losing money hand over fist. Assuming the Times reporters’ analysis of the I.R.S. data on high earners is accurate—and there is no apparent reason to doubt it—he was the biggest loser in the country for two years in a row.

Rags to riches, to riches to rags, back to riches. Not as bad as those failing alternative energy companies that use OUR bailout money to continue to go in the hole producing products the public won't purchase.

So a bad business man had an economy for a country of 330 million the best its ever been? Dang that’s impressive. Sounds like a bad businessman knows how to run a country better than a politician, can you believe it?!Yep it helps a lot to get $400 million from daddy, without that money Trump would be a broke bad businessman......how much money he is actually worth is subject to much debate and the reason he does not want his taxes out there.......he is not even close to as wealthy as he claims, the man is a grifter and liar and millions of Americans bought his BS hook line and sinker.....Trump literally was losing more personal wealth than any other single person in the country at one point......he had to have his dad come to his casino's and buy 3.5 million in chips then not use them which is illegal.....I mean the guy is just a crook.....

I would preferably support a presidential nominee who has served the military, and has been governor. I typically won't support a senator.

Kinda sounds familiar to a degree!.....lol. Although I am one of those guys whose SF experiences wont carry over to the business world I can assure you. Im just not much of a people person unfortunately. I have my moments but then that switch short circuits and things fly out of my mouth that arent supposed to. I have always envied old teammates that have transitioned to that world with great success. They certainly earned it.....
To say Trump, who built a worldwide brand, is a bad businessman is just comical. You don’t have 500 companies in 25 countries by being a bad businessman. To say otherwise is just blatant jealousy.Yep it helps a lot to get $400 million from daddy, without that money Trump would be a broke bad businessman......how much money he is actually worth is subject to much debate and the reason he does not want his taxes out there.......he is not even close to as wealthy as he claims, the man is a grifter and liar and millions of Americans bought his BS hook line and sinker.....Trump literally was losing more personal wealth than any other single person in the country at one point......he had to have his dad come to his casino's and buy 3.5 million in chips then not use them which is illegal.....I mean the guy is just a crook.....

What makes it the best economy that's ever been besides Trump telling you that trying to pump himself up?

But would not Biden’s son be in the same situation if it was not for his dad? Bottom line is every single person in politics has some type of corruption surrounding them and has skeletons in the closet. To win an election to even get in the politics you have to be corrupt and step on people to get there. Not defending Trump at all nor am I going to defend any politician.Yep it helps a lot to get $400 million from daddy, without that money Trump would be a broke bad businessman......how much money he is actually worth is subject to much debate and the reason he does not want his taxes out there.......he is not even close to as wealthy as he claims, the man is a grifter and liar and millions of Americans bought his BS hook line and sinker.....Trump literally was losing more personal wealth than any other single person in the country at one point......he had to have his dad come to his casino's and buy 3.5 million in chips then not use them which is illegal.....I mean the guy is just a crook.....
