Not like 'ol times, is it?

Not much online time these days. Between the health issues, pandemic, kiddo doing the distance learning for school AND the job, it's a rare thing indeed to be able to pop online and have some uninterrupted time.

When I can find it in my calibers... :-(

I got a .22lr kit for my rifle so I can practice at 8 cents/round instead of at 50+ cents/round with "the real stuff." Picked up 300 rounds of .22lr yesterday.

I'd love to have discussions where both sides listen and reason. It kind of kills the mood when some start off with out-and-out dismissals and/or insults.

Really? Which political party was yelling about "Trump stole the election" in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020? Which political party demanded and got a special prosecutor who took 18 months and hundreds of millions of dollars to find a few process crimes, none of which touched Trump? Trump is 2-0 vs. Pelosi in Impeachments, the basis of both were as substantive as hard vacuum.

And don't the citizens of this country have the freedom to choose? Or should they just roll up their sleeves take the shot, then bend over and spread their ass cheeks just because Big Daddy Government says so? You do know we fought a war about 245 years ago because someone told us to bend over and we said "NO." Why don't you just start referring to President Houseplant as King Joe I?

Of course you and your ilk must dismiss positions that differ from yours out-of-hand and insult and denigrate the people with the message, you don't have the facts to back up your bluster and caterwauling. The only difference between you radicals and Hitler's Brownshirts is they were better dressed. Young Leftist radicals wound up by Leftist professors go out and disrupt meetings of Those They Don't Like, shout down any unapproved viewpoint, beat up little old ladies, try to burn down occupied buildings.... Shall I go on? And as an aside, the only reason occupied buildings didn't burn is the assholes who started the fires were also grossly incompetent.

And if you think Voter ID laws that require prospective voters to present a government-issued ID are "racist," all I can say to that is "How racist do you have to be to think Black people are too stupid to obtain and have an ID? You can't hold a job, legally drive a vehicle or get government handouts without one, along with a hundred more things to be able to function in society today."

And here's a bunch of Democrats talking about voting machines. Did those issues get fixed for the last election? I don't think so. Or is it your standard double-standard, "It's not cheating if the Democrat wins." Please, can you point out at any time in our history where when a president is up for reelection, his party picks up NINE seats in the House and he yet loses his reelection? Where 19 of 20 bellweather counties (that haven't had 19 wrongs total out of the past 100+ years) were wrong for the same election? You've got the expert-level research chops, please, make your case. I will seriously consider your evidence, as long as you don't use Wikipedia, the NYT, Washington ComPost or CNN as your sources.
