  1. I am taking a break from the hostility. Message when the nonsense has concluded.
  2. Hey Troy what is the chance of Trump not finishing in your mind. 100 to 1.
  3. Thank you. @Pioneer1 @Troy does it still seem farfetched that Trump won't finish the year. That's pretty tight. Most people don't see this distinction.
  4. Apparently Nixon considered pardoning himself. When he found out that wasn't possible he resigned the following day.
  5. http://time.com/5300067/trump-tweets-pardon-himself/
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/02/trump-department-of-justice-robert-mueller-crisis
  7. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-06-01/trump-s-pardon-of-dinesh-d-souza-undermines-the-rule-of-law The Feds are piecing together a shredded document from Michael Cohen's office.
  8. We are witnessing a geopolitical switch and it is revolutionary. The US Dollar will no longer be the currency that oil is traded in the commodity markets. I think you underestimate people. I think by 2025 it will be clear whose view of the future is more valid.
  9. @Troy there's a widening wealth gap amongst whites as well
  10. Trump will be ousted for breaking the rule of law which is problematic for the powers that be, I have said it earlier he will be the most important President ever. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/31/us/politics/dsouza-pardon.html
  11. Your words put someone in prison for 8 years. Yet you are annoyed that I don't want to take your well meaning advice. The road to hell is paved with (fill in the _ _ _ _ _ _ _)
  12. Reread my post. Unsolicited is an important word. I give you too much credit thinking you would get the point. I have stated directly my issue yet you want to deflect and offer more unsolicited advice and assessments. This post is to clarify my issue with your words. Since both Troy and Cynique are under different assumptions of my peevishness. An entire American culture tries to dminish everyone who isn't a white male. Your duplicitous advice mixed with criticism is not up to par. So I am sitting out the subsequent rounds of golf. You're still talking at me.
  13. You give advice that is myopic. You gave a friend advice and she ended up in jail. That's my issue with you. You give unsolicited advice and make assessments that are useless. And by your own account detrimental.
  14. Thanks Troy but K2 seems to think I need more education or have some mental slowness. I am out of this particular round. Will post some news about Cohen and Trump.
  15. K2 your check has bounced, again.
  16. K2 you are the only person I have met in my entire life who thought I needed more education. So I was more questioning your powers of observation. Once again I have no idea what you mean by mentioning I have been to Troy's house. Hie are you going to defend Cynique. Despite the fact she hasn't asked nor requires. You also make more references to gay men. You may write but you don't seem like a journalist. If you want to fix a mess start with your writing . How I. The name of all that is profane can you even consider comparing your self to Cynique.
  17. @Cynique o said there are no facts and objectivity. Before you go can you explain. Cynique you questioned K2 claim as a writer no you are holding him up. You may be projecting here. I said his admission of his shortcomings was humble and honest. I also said that I can't recall him admitting he was wrong . So a person can be humble and honest in their self assessment . Yet be a braggart art in conversation. That's not a subtle point because especially since Pioneer explained it overtly. Cynique your recent post are uncharacteristically off note. I am too high strung and get annoyed to easily to see myself as being compassionate.
  18. Why I am explaining basic sentence structure to a "writer". I won't insult your intelligence you writing is doing it for me.
  19. Can someone explain what K2 is trying to say. It's not maybe. Cynique is a writer and a critical thinker. You can't compare yourself to ... anyone ... at least not rationally. Although that doesn't seem to be an issue with you.
  20. I could have an irrational paranoia that isn't based on anything. I have included the Oxford English Dictionary (OED I sense I will need to use this abbreviation on a regular basis (and it's not for Pioneer ) Unjustified suspicion and mistrust of other people. K2 You may want to use the Oxford thesaurus as well. astrology The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. astronomy The branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole Can someone other than K2 explain these sentence fragments. To be fair the last one is a sentence. A sentence at minimum requires a Noun then a verb. Your first fragment in addition to not making sense doesn't have a verb. Your second fragment has an object without a subject.
  21. Troy do you require further elucidation. I said it just yesterday you conflate things I say, and don't see the subtlety. I use my gut And my brain. K2 the word you mean to use is astrological not astronomical.
  22. Gold. I rest my case gentlemen and K2. K2 I don't respond because I can't make sense of your verbage typos and grammatical spaghetti. Half the active posters don't want to converse with you. Troy nice bait but I am not biting. ..this time.
  23. I love your mind too much. I think you need conflict. Towards the end you have been prickly in general. I don't look forward to conversations but your absence is worse. However you may be tired of hearing your own cranky raves. So do not project that onto me. I am more than capable of making nonsensical comments on my own. That is the epitome of condescension. Troy. But you may too arrogant to see that to be true. I agree on the first part. The second part is a display of your intellectual superiority to me. I miss her cranky ass. Who do you believe is needing or expecting an apology from you.
  24. I am not certain why acknowledging one person is a slight to someone else. I had a lot of issues with Pioneer's statements. Until you said he doesn't think conceptually, and then when he stated how he approached a subject of was struck by his statements. I don't often see people conceding the point in most discussions. However Pioneer will often ask a a question or ask for proof to either refute his position or prove the opposing position. You also ask questions because you want clarification. Some of Troy's questions don't have that same inquisitive feel. Mel questions are more about shaping the answer to the question. Clearly that's my perception. However I can't recall Pioneer admitting he was mistaken. Which Troy K2 will do more readily. Part of my past frustration was with Pioneer's style and content. It is a bit elitist of me to reject discourse and opinions that seem less attractive or polished. I am cool and detached until I care. So you are correct and wrong at the same time. I have sat done or talked with the following "people ": prostitutes, strippers, a transformation prostitute, transwoman, Ceo, Presidential candidate, former drug dealer. bouncers, bar manager, entrepreneurs, tattoo artist, Dj, performance artist, artist. plumber programmer, composer, dancers, astrologers, wizard, witch, teacher, administrators, bar tenders, actor , rock star. Researchers.
  25. @Cynique you are mistaken. Firstly your disagreement or agreement is not where your value lies. It's in your perspective. Pioneer had stated that he doesn't have the collegiate education so he argues simply. That is an honest and humble self assessment. I will post more rebuttals. However I have been struggling more with how Troy and K2 argue. At times I find them condescending. However wanting them to argue more like myself is just a different type of I am right you are wrong. I am also contemplating the point of any conversation. The binary is people agree or they don't. So I almost don't see the point. Except the one my partner made. Which was that doesn't sound good for a person who likes thinking to stop talking.
