No Rob I just know how you are...

I don't care about what nationality someone is. That's not what makes someone a decent person or not

Yet you think it's racist to ask someone their nationality.
Why? You think people should be ashamed, and must keep it a secret?
Odd.

Listen bigot, what if I identify as "we"? Exactly now stfu.

Weak attempt. If you did. you would never have identified yourself as "I".

To vote for Trump. Ahh, I have succeeded with MY plan. Now it is up to Trump.

So you don't know how to do it, and elected a guy who failed at it.
Proof that our education system needs improvement.
And your POTUS choice is appointing an ex-wrestler, who lied about getting a bachelor's degree in education and failed in her role as SBA administrator, to head up the DOE.
Amazing what a $13,000,000.00 donation can do for a career, huh?

Tell me why you are such an argumentative and negative person. You are so damn bitter about everything.

There you go again, equating facts with feelings.
Maybe learn to separate the two. It might help you come up with some cogent responses to challenges that face you.

I am still trying to figure out why you come to a car audio forum to bash the right under the guise of political discussions. Why is that RobGMN?

I'm trying to figure out why you come to a car audio forum to bash the left, under the guise of political discussion. Why is that, ThxOne?
Why does it upset you that others on this forum do the EXACT same thing you do, but better?
If it upsets you so much, maybe avoid coming to the subforum where it's been happening for years. Or are you a masochist (contrary to your belief, it's masochist, not sadist)
Maybe you are one of those "Rules are for thee, but not for me" hypocrites?

But we are going way off track here. Let's get back to business:

What is YOUR plan to "take care of America" other than refusing to assist our allies. (Like Trump attempted in order to coerce Kiev to help him the last time he ran for POTUS).

Tell me all about the "many more ways to offset tariffs", and why (the "many more ways") they couldn't be used to offset other cost increases.

Tell me more about "when we are importing less energy". What is Trump going to do in order to produce more energy here? Drilling leases went UP under Biden.
Do you think Trump is going to assume control of the privately-owned energy sector, and increase supply in order to reduce prices and profits?
Or do you think he will halt importing oil?

As for "more manufacturing here", employment in the mfg sector dropped while he was POTUS, with the decline starting well before the pandemic. Mfg jobs increase under Biden and are higher now than they ever were under Trump.
What makes you confident he's going to create manufacturing jobs THIS time around?

Because he'd get ran off any place that does politics seriously

That's an insult to some of the people here who actually understand the concepts discussed, in lieu of seeing life through memes created by idiots.

I know you were pulling that because it was Trump shirt...spin all over the place Rob but you know full well you only asked about race because the shirt said trump...

Odd.

You are the one that ask him if he was Latino. What do you care?

Weak attempt. If you did. you would never have identified yourself as "I".

I/we am multi-identifiable.

So you don't know how to do it, and elected a guy who failed at it.

My civil duty to make America better is to elect those people who will do so on my behalf. Donald J. Trump. Don't hate.

There you go again, equating facts with feelings.
Maybe learn to separate the two. It might help you come up with some cogent responses to challenges that face you.

You are the one with the inclination to say everyone is wrong.

Maybe you are one of those "Rules are for thee, but not for me" hypocrites?

I was here before you. You came here with intent.

But we are going way off track here. Let's get back to business:

Business? Are you paying me?

What is YOUR plan to "take care of America" other than refusing to assist our allies. (Like Trump attempted in order to coerce Kiev to help him the last time he ran for POTUS).

To elect Trump.

Tell me all about the "many more ways to offset tariffs", and why (the "many more ways") they couldn't be used to offset other cost increases.

There are many.

Tell me more about "when we are importing less energy". What is Trump going to do in order to produce more energy here? Drilling leases went UP under Biden.
Do you think Trump is going to assume control of the privately-owned energy sector, and increase supply in order to reduce prices and profits?

We were energy independent under Trump. We will be again.

Guess we will just have to see huh?

Seems like you're the only one taking offense and hiding behind a group statement to cover your feelings

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

You are the one that ask him if he was Latino. What do you care?

He said he bought a Latinos for Trump shirt. Is he a Latino?

I/we am multi-identifiable.

Do you pay taxes for each "you", or do you identify as "I" when it comes to that part of life?

My civil duty to make America better is to elect those people who will do so on my behalf. Donald J. Trump. Don't hate.

He failed on his first try. So you're willing to risk more failure just to "own the libs". And when it backfires, you'll blame the libs for your mistake.
I hate failure.

You are the one with the inclination to say everyone is wrong.

I only say it when they are wrong. If people want to be snowflakes and cry when they are wrong and it gets pointed out, oh well.
Isn't the new new mantra of the country "F**k your feelings"?
Or is that only for the right-wing to do, but not have done to them?

I was here before you. You came here with intent.

This subformnum and this thread are what they are, and what they were before I got here.
If you hate them, you could start your own, or avoid them.
You have the free will and the power to do so.
Assuming you can get all of your personalities to agree, or act based on majority decision.

Business? Are you paying me?

"Business at hand". It's an idiom. Look up "idiom" if that's a new word for you.

To elect Trump.

As I expected. Can't even produce an inkling of your own plan.

There are many.

And I'll bet they are "direct and indirect", and "may or may not" work.
In other words, you trapped yourself again.

We were energy independent under Trump. We will be again.

The LOWEST amount we imported under Trump was 7.9 million barrels of oil PER DAY.
"Import" means coming from OUTSIDE of the United States.
PER DAY.
That is not "independence" by any stretch of the imagination, even yours.

Guess we will just have to see huh?

So you accept a promise and use that promise as your statement of what will happen, but have no idea of the HOW.
And you disregard a previous failure for that promise to be kept by Trump, and call Biden a failure for achieving what Trump failed to achieve.
So it's just hate in your heart for Biden, not a dislike of his achievements.

Mfg jobs started to decline as of Jan 2019, a full year before COVID 19 hit, and continued to decline until COVID crushed the sector.
They recovered under Biden until they matched Trump's BEST, and then went higher and stayed there.

Got it.

Seems like you're the only one taking offense and hiding behind a group statement to cover your feelings

"A group statement"? I didn't realize either you or Speedchaser were "a group".
How many people are represented by your individual user names?
Is it like a bot farm, or a troll farm, or...?

 

[spokey9 5,000+ posts]

He said he bought a Latinos for Trump shirt. Is he a Latino?

Why does it matter?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

He said he bought a Latinos for Trump shirt. Is he a Latino?

So, maybe he supports Latino's. Maybe he is Latino. What do you care?

Do you pay taxes for each "you", or do you identify as "I" when it comes to that part of life?

Again, why the double standard Rob?

He failed on his first try. So you're willing to risk more failure just to "own the libs". And when it backfires, you'll blame the libs for your mistake.
I hate failure.

According to you. You are nobody so who cares what you think or how you FEEL about Trump.

I only say it when they are wrong. If people want to be snowflakes and cry when they are wrong and it gets pointed out, oh well.
Isn't the new new mantra of the country "F**k your feelings"?
Or is that only for the right-wing to do, but not have done to them?

Your logic is flawed. You claim everyone is wrong and then you argue endlessly trying to prove you are right. You cannot be right all the time. You are delusional.

This subformnum and this thread are what they are, and what they were before I got here.
If you hate them, you could start your own, or avoid them.
You have the free will and the power to do so.

Thanks Captain obvious. I know what this forum is.

"Business at hand". It's an idiom. Look up "idiom" if that's a new word for you.

Again, I know moron. I was being sarcastic. Or are you a robot?

As I expected. Can't even produce an inkling of your own plan.

I executed my plan and voted for Trump.

And I'll bet they are "direct and indirect", and "may or may not" work.
In other words, you trapped yourself again.

Bet all you want. You won't win anything.

The LOWEST amount we imported under Trump was 7.9 million barrels of oil PER DAY.
"Import" means coming from OUTSIDE of the United States.
PER DAY.
That is not "independence" by any stretch of the imagination, even yours.

As some of us on this forum educated you before, OIL is not the only source of energy. You narrow minded troglodyte.

So you accept a promise and use that promise as your statement of what will happen, but have no idea of the HOW.
And you disregard a previous failure for that promise to be kept by Trump, and call Biden a failure for achieving what Trump failed to achieve.
So it's just hate in your heart for Biden, not a dislike of his achievements.

I am not going to praise Biden for inflation. His achievement. Or the risk of WW3, his attempted achievement.

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

So, maybe he supports Latino's. Maybe he is Latino. What do you care?

Because he posted it. If he didn't want us to care, he wouldn't have posted it publicly.

Again, why the double standard Rob?

"Double standard" is if you want to be considered multiple people, but only pay taxes as a singular person.
Kind of like not wanted to be taxed on unrealized gains, but wanting to use those unrealized gains in order to buy another asset.
Kind of like not paying taxes, but demanding a voice in how the government is run.

According to you. You are nobody so who cares what you think or how you FEEL about Trump.

Back to your confusion between feelings and facts.
Too bad you don't feel that you are invincible and can step into traffic without being injured.
Although you do have that special advantage over the rest of humanity that has nerves in their bones.
It wouldn't hurt as much when a vehicles smacks you.

Your logic is flawed. You claim everyone is wrong and then you argue endlessly trying to prove you are right. You cannot be right all the time. You are delusional.

My logic is flawed when someone is wrong, I tell them they are wrong, then I provide proof of it?
OK, cool. Go back to the discussion of cost reduction increasing sales and profits.
The one where I proved mathematically that you were wrong.
Show me the flaw in logic.

Thanks Captain obvious. I know what this forum is.

Then why are you bitching about it? If you hate what happens here, why are you here? Is it just so you have something to ***** about?

Again, I know moron. I was being sarcastic. Or are you a robot?

You know moron? interesting.
Ahhh, was it humorous sarcasm, or just sarcasm?
Great excuses for when you screw up.

I executed my plan and voted for Trump.

Piss poor planning.

Bet all you want. You won't win anything.

Sure do.
Are you a weirdo who doesn't consider it a success to be correct about something?
You should try it. You might end up being wrong less.

As some of us on this forum educated you before, OIL is not the only source of energy. You narrow minded troglodyte.

Independence means "free from outside control" and "not needing others".
Importing 7.9 million barrels PER DAY is not "free from outside control" and doesn't mean "not needing others".
We were under the control of foreign entities who provided the oil. We needed that oil, else we would not have imported it.
We were not "independent" by any stretch of the imagination.

I am not going to praise Biden for inflation. His achievement. Or the risk of WW3, his attempted achievement.

But you praise Trump for reducing the number of manufacturing jobs in the country.
You praise Trump for risking WW3 with North Korea.
You praise Trump for doubling inflation from the get-go, and keeping it there except for when he pushed us into recession, then pushing it right back up as soon as he could, but not putting stops in place to KEEP it from going up
You praise Trump for taking a direct action to increase gas prices.
You proactively praise Trump for reducing prices, which will end up reducing wages and causing job losses.
Weird.

But why does it matter so much to you?

You need to know so you can decide how best to attack his character?

"Double standard" is if you want to be considered multiple people, but only pay taxes as a singular person.

Yeah, double standard. So if I am physically a man but my brain says I am a woman, you should have no problem with me taking benefits for both right?

Back to your confusion between feelings and facts.
Too bad you don't feel that you are invincible and can step into traffic without being injured.

Wow, see what I mean, a bitter, sad liberal who's side lost. Now you feel it would be better if I stepped out into traffic. But you have a problem with me suggesting a rope or a .357 would cure your woe's. You ******* hypocrite. lol

Although you do have that special advantage over the rest of humanity that has nerves in their bones.
It wouldn't hurt as much when a vehicles smacks you.

And you with your advantage of a smaller than normal brain as the bullet would go in and out with no resistance from grey matter having missed the entire brain.

My logic is flawed when someone is wrong, I tell them they are wrong, then I provide proof of it?
OK, cool. Go back to the discussion of cost reduction increasing sales and profits.
The one where I proved mathematically that you were wrong.
Show me the flaw in logic.

You didn't actually.

Then why are you bitching about it? If you hate what happens here, why are you here? Is it just so you have something to ***** about?

Just to get under your tender liberal skin. Also, to waste your post count.

You know moron? interesting.
Ahhh, was it humorous sarcasm, or just sarcasm?
Great excuses for when you screw up.

Piss poor planning.

Again, your opinion matters not.

Sure do.
Are you a weirdo who doesn't consider it a success to be correct about something?
You should try it. You might end up being wrong less.

Are you so insecure that you have to reassure yourself that you are right all the time?

Independence means "free from outside control" and "not needing others".
Importing 7.9 million barrels PER DAY is not "free from outside control" and doesn't mean "not needing others".
We were under the control of foreign entities who provided the oil. We needed that oil, else we would not have imported it.
We were not "independent" by any stretch of the imagination.

I am sure energy independence means we are exporting more than we are importing of ALL TYPES OF ENERGY.

But you praise Trump for reducing the number of manufacturing jobs in the country.

Show me that praise.

You praise Trump for risking WW3 with North Korea.

Show me that praise.

You praise Trump for doubling inflation from the get-go, and keeping it there except for when he pushed us into recession, then pushing it right back up as soon as he could, but not putting stops in place to KEEP it from going up

COVID caused the recession you speak of, not Trump. Show me the praise.

You praise Trump for taking a direct action to increase gas prices.

Show me the praise.

You proactively praise Trump for reducing prices, which will end up reducing wages and causing job losses.
Weird.

We will see huh.

In typical fashion, Rob stupidity has no bounds. I can post "I took a shit" Does that mean I want people to care about my shit or does that mean I am just saying what I did?
Anyways I am sadly Latino, no I don't support Latinos I have no reason to, I just think the shirt is funny and sadly my wetbacks for trump shirt got ripped so I had to get a new one.

I wouldn't be sad about it. My daughter is part some kind of Latino/Italian/Indian mix according to her mother. Plus whatever I am. She's seems ok as a person lol.

I don't drink(well I have exceptions like social events ) and I prefer to take my clothes off and rub my nuts on glass shards before dealing with a Latina.
