It's me, Agip, of 15+ years and 40,000 posts. Lately absent.
Fact is, I wasn't planning to be absent, but I unjustly got a lifetime ban. I asked to be restored, but whatever LRC did to unban me didn't work, so I remain banned.
I'm writing from a library computer.
I think it is better if I stay banned. I've been arguing with strangers in these parts for years...and you know what...doing so hasn't made me feel any better. No one here is going to change his mind, the trolls will continue to rile up the people.
I think I have more peace of mind without daily yelling at strangers and reading their shameless lies.
So I'm not swearing off this place - if a dramatic change were to happen in US politics, I'll probably try to figure out how to get unbanned. Maybe in the leadup to midterms.
I have in no way changed my politics. Trump and m'aga have done more damage to this nation than any group since the Confederacy. What his critics predicted would happen hasn't been as bad as the reality.
I will miss some of you and consider you internet friends. I wish the good eggs well.
But I'm better off avoiding the conflict on this board, so for now the six-legged doggo is out.

Just a reminder that libraries are woke. You're best to stay away from them.
We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Is this real?
The actual President of the United States posted this on social media?
Yes. The president announced the United States is directly at war with another country.... on social media.
Imagine thinking Trump is smart. How embarrassing. That’s basically admitting you’re functionally retarded if you admire Trump’s “intellectual”
As has been observed, Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of rich, a weak man's idea of strong, and a dumb man's idea of smart.
And Harris/ Waltz are what? A poor man's idea of being poor? A trans-man's idea of strong? A state-school educated man's idea of being appointed? Clown.
Uneducated lady without a college degree marries the son of Sam Walton, who dies in a homemade ultralight aircraft he made in his home garage, inherits billions from a store who caters to poor minorities, now thinks she has a foot in the door with politics. Take her advice, folks! She's smart!!

You minority. You liar. I've literally posted info including congressional hearings from the police chief, Steven Sund, and you ignore it. See post #29855 on page # 1493 and post #30049 ON PAGE #1503. Then you bring up J6 again. Then you ignore the data and testimony and evidence. Then you bring it up again. Then you ignore it. Then you bring it up again. Then you ignore.
Steven Sund, Former US Capitol Police Chief of Police, written testimony before Congress (2/23/21).

The Wharton grad is stupid? The person worth almost $10 billion is poor?
I would say that the following might not make him “stupid,” but they indicate how foolish it is for some people to use “Wharton grad” as evidence of being “smart”:
— What was the acceptance rate at Wharton when Mr. Trump attended? What were the likely credentials of those admitted?
— Did he have the credentials to be admitted directly out of secondary school?
— Is there any credible evidence that his admission was at least partially the product of family connections rather than merit (or, say, family connections more than merit)?
— this was still roughly in the era of the “gentleman’s C” in the Ivies. Think something akin to “social promotion” for the wealthy.
— you have a guy who loves to boast and loves even more to throw things in the face of his opponents (perceived enemies, etc). If he had any clear evidence whatsoever that he was very bright — U Penn transcripts, an IQ test, or whatever, what are the odds that he’s keep those under wraps?
Has he made those available? Here’s a better question: Are there credible allegations that he has taken measures to suppress similar info?
Oh, but “person, woman, man, camera, tv”! He’ll give you unambiguous detail about that mental feat!
Every time you call him smart on the basis of his educational background, you really come across as gullible at best, and conceivably as downright foolish. You’ve heard the guy talk, right?

Agip? Banned? That's beyond crazy.
Agip has always been one of the best posters on these boards. Always very civil, honest and with high content posts.
Agip, ER and nonnequals are the three best posters on this thread.
You will be missed, my Internet friend - Real Obvi (lifetime banned, multiple times), Bigfoot Investments, P
The word here in France (I'm in France, bonjour!) is that Trump left the G7 because Macron and Carney were making jokes about Trump behind his back. Probably in French.
Is the USA media reporting this? It seems like Trump said he was leaving because his phone wasn't secure. But isn't Trump now SELLING phones? Are those phones secure?
