Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Flagpole just got OWNED! What I love is how Flagpole told Atlanta dude how he likes to research everything extensively but he was saying 6 months ago he was looking to retire in Southern calif. And now he is listing why he wouldn't like calif. - smog,etc.,- so he either didn't research calif or is just a bald-faced liar who never planned on going to calif. He is never leaving Cleveland and will just retire in his Double-wide. The guy has no money. All talk.

JFC FB loves to help trump

1) My wife and I moved around the country after college chasing graduate degrees and then jobs. We moved back to Ohio after we had our first kid to be closer to the grandparents.

2) Again...had kids, wanted to be close to extended family. Will not retire in Ohio.

3) I AM a planner, but 30 years goes by quickly, and again once we move, we don't plan to move again.

4) I became financially able to retire when the Dow reached 20,000. I own my own business and have cut my hours to 30 a week. A year from now, I will be done with a project for my biggest client, and at that point I will be at about 10 hours per week. Financially I do not need to work anymore. I still do because I get SOME satisfaction out of it, and right now I have one more year to go on a big project for my biggest client that I have been working on for 5 years. Would kind of like to see that through. We own our house outright and have zero debt. My wife is a college professor, and she wants to work 6 more years. We could EASILY live on her income if we wanted to. So yeah, I could retire now if I wanted to. There's no getting to it. I am already there financially. You do know that most people wait until 65 to retire, right? I will retire at age 57. That's still pretty early. Obviously, I don't want to retire until then as I could now but choose not to. I suspect perhaps you are trolling me here, so I won't respond if you want to take this up further.

5) You are an odd person. Most flights I have taken out of the country have left from airports in other states. Detroit, New York, Tampa...a few others.

6) You make a lot of assumptions. I do not plan to take care of my parents or in-laws. They have insurance and money to have care provided. What I MIGHT want to do though is to be closer to them in their very last moments just to be able to spend time with them. That's not a novel concept, brother. Regarding stairs, do you know any person who buys a home to retire to that has lots of stairs? Why would I do that? Just because you apparently can't plan for the future doesn't mean that I worry to be able to do so. I am actually not a worrier at all. I just know what I want and make it happen. No worrying involved.

7) My community is actually very nice and very liberal for Ohio...no Trump flags or other stuff like that. I want to make sure that anywhere I move to is the same.

What a weird person you are. Too much weirdness for me for one day. Reply if you like, but I've had my fill of this insanity for one day.

Flagpole's middle name is "Adventure" and he lives in Cleveland. He and his wife hate the winters in Cleveland yet they have lived there for their entire lives. Funniest thing I have ever heard. Flagpole I can help out with you moving from Cleveland. Will pay whatever you need.

No one cares. You and Flaggy can go **** each other off in a different thread. You guys are like high schoolers obsessed with each other!

Flagpole - please tell me which foreign cities you have travelled to. This is going to be a doozy!!

haven't read the piece, but think of it like tesla.

tesla would never had made it without big government subsidies.

so some would have said 'tesla is a stupid zombie company - it can't survive on its own.'

but the subsidies worked - tesla has proven that people want electric cars and they can be made profitably. Suddenly there are tons of companies entering the business.

Paris is like that. If an international accord can hold together with support, more can be done in the future.

EV subsidies worked well because it was a good idea with tangible benefits up front.

Paris is basically sitting around a trillion dollar campfire (paid for exclusively by US taxpayers) and singing kumbaya.

If the US was serious then we should throw our economic weight around more and start figuring our carbon taxes that aren't poor taxes

The Paris agreement is not "paid for exclusively by US taxpayers". That's pure bull. In fact, 10 other nations have higher per capita obligations than the US.

I agree with you that carbon taxes are a good approach generally. Are you talking about some sort of international carbon tax?

[As an aside, I don't know which EV subsidies you are talking about, but the ones in the US need a major overhaul. Right now, Tesla and GM vehicles are no longer eligible because they already sold over 200,000 electrified vehicles. So now almost all the subsidies are going to foreign car makers instead of US makers. I am very hopeful that this will be addressed in the new administration. Some Republicans want it fixed as well, but it's something Trump would never touch.]

I would add one thing. Biden definitely has one big advantage over Obama and Hillary when it comes to getting some people listen to him. And everyone knows what I mean.

I certainly think he’s more likable than HRC, but I think at least for this election it was mostly just picking a guy who can beat trump. Come on, no one was that excited about Biden or any other candidate, we were all excited about removing the turd.

CORRECT! Amy Klobuchar was my favorite with Kamala Harris second, but I recognized that Biden was likely the best choice to beat Trump, and that was the prime objective. Biden is vanilla ice cream, but after getting a sh!t sandwich for 4 years, vanilla ice cream sounds quite delectable.

I don't come to LRC for the Sally Flaggy 69 show every day. It's not as cute as you guys think it is :D

I will write a Flaggy Sally erotic short story if there's enough support!

So is the GOP still a willing hostage to trump because they think it will help them in the future or because they are afraid to lose Georgia? I thought they were handed a real gift with his loss making their disassociation from him easier but I suppose they can’t just cut the umbilical cord overnight or it will spook the base.

Maybe they will "strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike..."

Maybe they hear the sound of an abundance of rain?

yes

Flagpole I've known ye for years and years and years and do appreciate your presence here, but you really really shouldn't feel you have to get the last word on trivial things. Let it go. Let it wash over your head. The thread will progress another 3 pages and you'll remember it not one bit if the other guy gets in the last word. But you will feel better and you'll annoy fellow threadsters a lot less.

merde I meant to say YES to this thread:

Trump is poking around the fences, looking for soft spots in democracy he can attack.

The R party is traitorous.

You must live in a sh!thole neighborhood or community if you're worried about someone flying Trump (or whatever) flags around you. Any respectable community prohibits that type of thing.

.

Flagpole said recently on here that his neighbors have a bunch of workout equipment in their yard, mow their own grass with their shirts off, and shoot bottle rockets out of their butt cracks. He’s also said his house is worth around 200K.

The likelihood that he could buy your house is ZERO.

He’s trolling you with his vast financial holdings.

What am I attempting to get the last word on right now?

Ha! No workout equipment, but some mowing of grass sans shirts happens, and some of them did shoot bottle rockets out of their butt cracks...that group of people is no longer living in that house.

But, no, my house is not worth around $200,000. It is worth more than that.

My wealth is not tied up in my house anyway...but yes, I could buy a $2 million house if I wanted to...in fact, if we end up moving to CA as planned, that is in the range of house price we would be considering...houses out there are expensive you know.

I actually couldn't care less if I annoy "fellow threadsters" at all. I mean, not even the slightest of bits.
