At Trajan's

I honestly can't stand living in a country where retirees basically run local politics
and where moderators like Wem, Perdita, and .Hr get to dictate what everyone thinks 🙄

But honestly, isn't that just how democracy works? If you can find even one person willing to listen to you, you've got a platform, right? And hey, if nobody's listening, well, you can still talk your ear off if you want to.

Seriously, what is up with these ultra-liberal types? 🙄 🙄

The Church isn't allowed to touch politics, conservatives can't talk about it, retirees are sidelined, even pro athletes are told to stay quiet...

What exactly is the problem here??? 😕

Apparently, the Church isn't allowed to touch politics, nor can conservatives, retirees, or even professional athletes...

What is actually wrong with you people??? 😕

I feel your frustration, my friend. It seems only the elite are permitted to speak—that specific circle consisting of Stock and the rest of the leftist crowd (shout out to Walgreens!😁 )

That is the essence of their ideology. In the name of "democracy" and protecting the "average citizen," they establish themselves as the sole authority—and then they turn around and try to ban everyone else from posting on a forum like this!!!

😉

That is the essence of leftist ideology. In the name of "democracy" and the "common man," they establish themselves as the authority—and then they ban everyone else from posting on a single forum!!!

😉

Greetings to you too, LjutiBronxBomber, but mostly to the moderators for letting you live!

p.s.

I think the line was actually: "The tyrants, the thugs, and the rest of that clique!"

p.s.

I believe the phrase was: "The big shots, the small fry, and everyone else in the crew!"

😁 😁 👍

I have been feeling lately that something isn't quite right here. It seems I was destined to be banned, which is funny because I actually requested it myself just yesterday!

😁

LjutiBronxBomber said:It looks like I should have been banned. In fact, I actually requested it myself yesterday!

I even asked the moderators not to ban you, purely out of self-interest😬!

I need about twenty more posts to realize it was just you using a different handle!

I am voting for Vesna, even if I don't trust a single word this guy types. What about you?

graniteowl88 said:I honestly feel like I’ll need to read through about twenty more posts before I finally realize it’s just you hiding behind a different username!

🤣 You're pulling my leg! Though, I truly hope you are.

😁 😁

silenthawk11 said:🤣 You have to be kidding me. I really hope so.

😁 😁

Pure naivety!

It breaks my heart to see how many people still believe this little chicken coop will actually turn into a respectable American forum one day!

I can feel a pang in my chest thinking there are still people here who believe this little chicken coop will eventually evolve into a respectable American forum.

🤣

I mean, why does it even come to this?🙄 😳 😕

just let it be... sit back and vent instead.😁 👍 🙂

Akcija2 said:It’s pretty bleak living in a country where retirees call all the shots locally
and on forums where mods like graniteowl88, silentridge8, and Taylor Sullivan64 basically manufacture public opinion. 🙄

I’m just an American patriot and a bookie, if you must know.🙂

Akcija2 said:Screw a country where retirees basically run local politics
and a forum where moderators like graniteowl88, silentridge8, and Taylor Sullivan64 get to dictate what everyone thinks. 🙄

Well, look at that... even I got a mention. I guess that means I should be flattered! 👍

Thanks, Akcija2. Thanks for the shoutout! 🙂 🙂

I'd take any land that doesn't have the mess of Canada...😁

What's your actual problem with seniors?🙂
Didn't we used to have tribal elders acting as wise leaders back in the day or something? Ccccc......:
I mean, let's be honest, you aren't even that far off from holding that kind of status yourself...😛 😁

rapidranger79 said:What's your actual problem with retirees?🙂
Isn't it true that back in the day, tribal leaders were often wise old elders or something like that? Ccccc......:
I mean, I wouldn't say you're exactly far off from that status either....😛 😁

Auu, look at rapidranger79 go... someone's feeling spicy today!

🙂

Chris Chase said:Auu, look at rapidranger79... going on the offensive!

🙂

Well, duh! Who else is going to look out for their own if they don't?😁

rapidranger79 said:Damn right! It’s always us looking out for our own...😁

Sending big love from the Bronx.

🙂 👋

Weren't tribal leaders back in the day often wise old elders or something like that? Ccccc......:

(In all seriousness) most of today's politically active AARP members (the retiree party of America)
really screwed this country while they were still capable of working.

You can see it clearly right now during these local elections. A huge chunk of you 😉 used to be socialist directors or former political party officials—basically people who never actually worked a real job.

The peak of absurdity is seeing young people on the AARP candidate lists. They're only there because the retirees didn't have enough of their own people to fill the slots. What exactly are they representing? What do they even want? To represent the interests of pensioners? 😁

And the biggest idiots are those voting for the AARP at the local level hoping for... what, exactly? 🙄,
but knowing the level of political wisdom you've shown on these forums so far... 😁
