Today In Biden Land

[NoSavingByTheBell]

I'll let you slide (again) on all your insults and say yes, you are invited, you always WERE invited, I emailed you a few times about that and ...hey, know what NOW THAT BEANZ HAS BOWED OUT, you no longer have that to damper your attendance, B. See, he was right the whole 6 months of Zooms, that in his view "many people" were avoiding the Zooms due to him. Even you on 2 occasions messaged me and said in so many words and I paraphrase here: "I cannot bring myself to attend a Zoom with a person who has for years thrown around so many personal insults to so many people, and then just turn a blind eye to it and pretend that everything is hunky-dory and attend a Zoom meeting with that person. " And hey, I told you on a few occasions I fully understand and respect that. And several other posters have told me they felt exactly the same. And understandably so. So yes you are invited, as usual, and it is totally up to you to join or not, but as I have always said from the beginning, it would be great to see you on there.

Listen, I'll pass... but good luck on your ongoing meetings.

Just to show you I'm not sore at you (although you still didn't admit to being a closet racist), I'll break my own rule and submit my one and only entry into the poetry department.

This is not small feat, because I'm more of a technical guy and don't do poetry.

But what the hell... keep in mind this was a quickie.

The Flip and the Flop

First it was Donald
Walks on water, does no wrong
According to Brock
To touch the Don, doth he long.
Peasants invading
To the borders we flock
Hordes of the toothless,
With glee Brock mocks.
Mow down these peasants,
Brock doth cry
What the Donald utters
We dare not deny
In everything Donald knows best
With Brock in tow
Not a moment of rest.
When suddenly COVID
Brings all to a stop
And Brock isn’t sure
Whether he’ll flip or whether he’ll flop
It’s not even Brock
As changes set in
A French guy instead
Has come in for a spin.
Get rid of the Donald!
This new guy rails
While head scratching Saddo’ers
Can’t make heads or tails.
At last it’s all stable
Or so we all quip
Without any notion
That Frenchy will flip.
Another flop was widely feared
While Frenchy’s alt change
Once again neared.
The flop was harsh
And again severe
As now NoSaving
Reversed course in high gear.
Again the Donald to the pinnacle soared
As New Guy flipped
And flopped many times o’er.
By now we know
The flip and the flop
Will always continue
With little hope of a stop.



Nobody worry. I won't quit my day job.

First off, great job, and I especially liked

It’s not even Brock

Always knew you had it in you B. Gotta say when you wrote:

.....Again the Donald to the pinnacle soared

And flopped many times o’er.

YOu nailed it with soared/o'er, brilliant rhyme scheme there, executed with a surprising past participle + adverb/preposition with apostrophe. Great!!!

No sarcasm intended, looking forward to a few more of these from you, and your day job?....... dont rule out making a switch, Im sure you could tolerate earning equal money for pumping out 6 or 7 of these a week. Seriously it was a great job and I know you put very little time or effort into it. YOu had the rhyme scheme AND the meter going on throughout. Nice work.

If several other posters have told you they will not take part because of my presence then attendance should have gone thru the roof. It hasn't though has it? You were lucky to get two or three people at most from the forum and i am afraid that has to be down to you and nothing else.

And I didn't bow out, I reacted perfectly rationally and reasonably after months and months of giving you the benefit of the doubt. You overstep boundaries and behave like a child. You go around attaching yourself to anyone and everyone who refuses to tell you to your face that you are being out of order. You gad about like a Mayfly without ever showing any real commitment or belief in anything and then you are confused when most other people turn out to have core beliefs and principles that they will not negotiate on.

Look at you reverting back to supporting Murdoch and Trump and the MSM in general.

You are an attention seeker and that for you comes before showing any kind of consistency or principles.

Look at how easily you are now referring to the vaccine as the 'Soros' vaccine. Like some 9 year old coughing 'Covd' at old people just to get a reaction.

In many ways you are just as gullible as El Kabong and so it is no surprise you have decided to defend him, the Proud Boys and all the fucking racist losers who like you think about and treat other people and their right to vote with disdain.

You may think moving to the suburbs to work and raise a family is for suckers who have given up, but you are in a very small minority of bitter fools who really are just jealous, angry and judgmental that you chose not to.

[El Kabong]

Ummm....you fucking serious with that shit? I mean I'm just not even addressing the BASELESS bullshit you sling at me....but you're accusing Brockton of supporting Murdoch & the MSM?


You're dumber than I thought you were, and I thought you were PLENTY dumb to start with. That is a SHOCKINGLY dumb accusation...added to which, Where, pray tell, do you get YOUR news from? What Non-MSM channel do you receive information on current events from?

It is a fact. Not a baseless accusation. Baseless accusations are the kind of thing Murdock and the Right wing MSM (Who incidentally you also get by the the majority of your news from) sling about all the time to try and cancle out people like Corbyn or Saunders or AOC.

The amount of meetings he had directly with Johnson and Gove and Sunak and Trump are all out their in the public domain.

The pair of you for all of your virtue signalling alternative news mantra are actually major Kool Aid drinkers hooked on outrage and the worst kind of shallow gutter tabloid headlines garnered from FOx News, Newsmax and all the other mainstream populist propaganda machines.

It is why you are so astoundingly stupid and naive to the point that you still can't bring yourself to admit that for 4 years you have been telling us their lies everyday with your QAnon bullshit.

Look at Brock and his disgusting excuses for Patel and Johnson and Trump. Straight from the MSM.

All the Tommy Robinson lies you both filled the forum with. Again British MSM right wing tabloids which make up the majority of newsmedia here and which you both seem to have a weird drooling obsession with.

Think for yourself for once and both of you just answer a straight forward question.



I certainly do not rely on the MSM for my information and never have. I read right across the board politically and certainly do not rely on the hyper biased YouTube opinion pieces that you have both used as a substitute personality for the last 10 years.

Hope this helps.

Why would you be upset about Corbyn, not like you supported him.....or did you change your mind AGAIN/suddenly remember you supported him? And all that despite the Anti-Semitism he allowed to build in Labour ..... your billions of relatives must have breathed a sigh of relief when Boris was elected PM

Saunders? Who? You mean Bernie Sanders? Who is trying to "cancle" him besides establishment Democrats?

AOC harms herself more than anyone else could harm her.


OK lump Fox News in with the rest of Mainstream Media, but Newsmax?!?! They're mainstream?


So you don't like populism? Well I guess you've nothing bad to say about the wealthy then.....or is that different


"I read right across the board politically".....ok for example, you read _____________? I mean The Guardian obviously, but what else?


"Think for yourself for once and both of you just answer a straight forward question"....what question, where's the question?

[Beanz]

So basically your argument boils down to


"Why are you not a blind celebrity obsessed partisan sheep like me"?



You seem utterly unable to engage any kind of judgement yourself unless you are told what to think. I am if nothing else a pragmatist. I can see quite clearly how Corbyn was a real threat to the establishment that you and your fellow Trump and Johnson fans have always supported, and that is why a campaign was orchestrated against him.

That does not mean he is some kind of perfect Messiah like Trump has become to you. Corbyn is a man with flaws like anyone else and i can point out his faults and those in his arguments without resorting to destroying the man. This seems to be what is holding you back from progressing beyond your teenage mindset. All or nothing for you because you are an idealogue.

I have voted for the Greens, the Labour Party and would back an independent if they had the right policies. We do not have a presidential system here, and so you vote for your local candidate, not the leader of their party.

When i talked to him Corbyn impressed me with his genuine interest in local affairs in my city and his unwillingness to be treated preferentially. That was in fact exactly why i got that opportunity to talk to him ahead of all the nationals.

That does not mean antisemitism does not exist, and it certainly exists on the left, and among many of Corbyns contemporaries and colleagues, but compared to the blatant racism of the Tories and our current Prime Minister it is not the endemic problem it is made out to be.

As a gesture of good faith i will send you a link to an article I wrote about it and maybe that will make my thinking a bit clearer for you.

I am not going to share with you the 20 odd bookmarked news sites and sources that I use professionally, but you can safely assume that there is everything there from right across the political spectrum, from the Financial Times to The Canary ( I buy the Sunday Times most weekends) even opinion pieces on the right like Unherd (even though i hate the thing, one of the contributors is a friend) so you can stop fantasizing that i am some easily dismissed clueless idealogue with childish notions.
