We see what we choose to see. And our reactions reinforce that vision.

Any hope that this administration will cool anger is foolish.

I’m sorry you see it that way. It must be anxiety provoking and wear you down.

Why would you think Joe is interested in reigning in the radicals in his party?

FMOCIE

Obamagate!

ag4cougs

1/20/21 1:02pm

Because he’s been a moderate all his life and the far left dislike him. A lot.

StalwartBraveTrue

Biden stopped being a moderate in Obama's administration.

FMOCIE

As a member of the right I realize that two wrongs don’t make a right.

Sorry, you sound like you've bought into the leftist propaganda

FMOCIE

What about any of the posts on this thread is leftist propaganda?

StalwartBraveTrue

Lieutenant America

There's no path for unity from my perspective and the left doesn't even want it

Ash

1/21/21 7:13am

Man... you really haven’t been paying attention at all the last 4 years.

Lieutenant America

1/21/21 8:17am

Unlike you I've paid attention since before 9/11.

Ash

1/21/21 6:38pm

Why is there always an attempt by democrats to unite when their candidate wins?

FMOCIE

1/20/21 8:49am

Agreed, why say "unite" when you really mean "submit?"

The irony of your perspective is laughable.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/21/21 7:12pm

Please educate us with details...what do you consider Trump's failures?

FMOCIE

1/22/21 9:37am

We can start with Nov 3 or work our way back from Jan 6. Which do you prefer?

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 10:23am

You are not serious. You just are filled with hate towards Trump, I pity you.

FMOCIE

1/22/21 9:30am

I am not a trump man. He lied to the American people for his political gain.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 10:12am

Again...no specifics, just Trump lied...

FMOCIE

1/22/21 10:24am

Generally I thought you were aware enough of the last few months that I didn’t

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 10:35am

So if you disagree with someone they are a liar?

FMOCIE

1/22/21 1:19pm

Did you not read the example I posted?

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 1:45pm

So Trump is the greatest liar because of one statement?

FMOCIE

1/22/21 2:27pm

I don't believe I called trump "the greatest liar"

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 8:29pm
