The mid term elections won't stop Trump.

RiverRick comments on Nov 7, 2018:

Of course he will blame Democrats for everything... He has since Day 1. Dems have subpoena power now and will be able to get to the bottom of lots of things. Mueller will be coming out strong! Don't be a buzzkill!

Flashbacks of the 2016 election

RiverRick comments on Nov 6, 2018:

I have never identified with either party and have voted Republican almost as much as Democrat. However... I smelled the stench of Trump coming from miles away. I felt the same anguish as you. BUT... I thought, "He is my president so I will fall in behind him!" Then he opened his stupid mouth and there was no way I could support ANYTHING he said or did! I am hoping for the Blue Wave tonight to take some of that bad taste out of my mouth!

Why do I keep hearing that voting conservative is good for your money?

RiverRick comments on Nov 6, 2018:

Because Republicans (so they say) want to cut taxes so you keep more of your paycheck... Also (they say) they give you more favorable tax rates if you own a business or sometimes even investments. The fact is.... It's BS. I will make less this year after the Republicans take their toll. I bring more home... But they erased about $25k of write-offs for me. I have, at different points in my life, paid more in taxes than most people make. I have never once complained or tried to cheat the IRS... But I do object to the waste of tax dollars.. Some obvious and some cleverly disguised graft.

I've never understood why people talk on the phone in places like stores.

RiverRick comments on Nov 6, 2018:

I am with you... Or how about the people that come dressed to the store with their pajamas and slippers on? I use my cell for business (sales) during waking hours.... So when it rings, I answer regardless where I am. Unless I am on a first date...

This would make the world so much better...

Conservatives, What is it that you don't like about people that are liberals, progressive or social ...

RiverRick comments on Nov 5, 2018:

I have found over almost 57 years that conservatives are borrow-and-spend, under-educated bullies, strong on defense and they want everyone to look out for themselves because, you know, you live in the greatest country on Earth and you have freedom! "Don't worry... The church can help you with that!" Liberals are tax-and-spend, over-educated, whiny assed pussies who always want to build some sort of consensus because, you know, we all get along better if we all agree. They usually get slaughtered while consensus building then want to whine about it all day! "Don't worry, we have a program for that!" On every political plotter I end up as Libertarian... But I do not identify as Libertarian because most Libertarians I have talked to or watched are batshit crazy. I have always voted for the person, regardless of party. Except this time.... I am voting straight Democrat down the line in an effort to out the Chump out of office!

Do you miss going to Church on Sundays?

RiverRick comments on Nov 5, 2018:

The last time I went to church as part of a family unit, weddings not counting... I think I was 4-5 years old. My parents raised me with information and told me I would need to find my own place... But they would answer any question I had as fairly as possible or try to steer me in the right direction. I have gone to church with others throughout my life. I was always uncomfortable there... Especially the long Catholic masses or the fire and brimstone Baptist type. I've been to just about every type of church over the years in my quest. So to answer your question.... I don't miss it at all. I'd rather be splitting wood!

Important atheist question: When you die, would you let them bury your body or cremate it.

Any suggestions on how to get over the anger and feeling of betrayal from your mother and brothers ...

RiverRick comments on Nov 4, 2018:

Only worry about what you can control. And the only thing you can control here is your attitude! I have lost friends over this administration... They want to preach EVERY time I see them. I also have a sister who supports Trump (A traumatic brain injury 20 years ago... Go figure!) But we decide not to talk about it and we move along. So to me it's like this... I don't listen to anyone preach. I don't care if they are christian, republican or druid... I don't put up with it. NOBODY likes to be preached to. Find middle ground! You know... Like Kanye West is an asshole. Everyone agrees on that!

I’m ashamed to have been a part of the Christian Right, all those years ago..

Ford Prepares for Mass Layoffs After Losing $1 Billion to Trump's Trade Tariffs, Report Says

I really have a hard time believing that anyone is stupid enough to believe a thing that comes out of Trump's mouth! His tariffs have done nothing but hurt all involved. He hasn't brought back coal... He hasn't help open any steel plants... The only thing he has done is give a huge chunk of his voting block a welfare package so they wouldn't feel the pinch of his tariffs. Deplorables? How about ignoramuses!

Pissed Off Hunters Are Ready for Real Gun Control Despite the NRA [vice.com]

RiverRick comments on Nov 3, 2018:

I am not a hunter but I love target shooting. I used to be a member of the NRA until Wayne LaPierre came on the scene. I immediately quit and won't go back. The NRA must certainly know if they don't bend a little on common sense gun legislation that they will break completely. I have several ARs, 9mms, .45s, .22s, and shotguns of all flavors. I feel there is a need to regulate some areas a little better. But they need to enforce what is on the books already.

How come "I don't take off my shoes" is missing as an option? I have quartersawn white oak floors and tile. I hate carpeting for so many reasons! I think the only person who removed their shoes is a neighbor that just came from their horse pasture and had horse shit all over their boots. Other than that... Wipe your feet and come on in. Obviously I remove my hiking boots if I go hiking and they are really muddy. I'll kick them off in the garage or beside the laundry room and let them dry. I have a backpack vacuum that works great.
