    Whoever told you that should be ashamed.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Sometimes NOT doing something is an accomplishment!

        I don't believe you are. You claim to be equally disenchanted with both parties, but none of the posts I have ever read by you bear this out. This seems to be a disingenuous claim.

          They have no shame. As you know, I left that church.
          Thanks

            Ah, had forgotten all about that.

              I am absolutely shattered.

              Did I actually say 'equally'?

              This seems to be a disingenuous claim.
              Which claim?

                Yeah, actually you did.



                Which claim?
                The one I referred to in the previous sentence, Sherlock.

                  Then you'll be able to provide the actual quote.

                  You disputed that I was genuinely interested in an answer then you contested your own claim that I said I was equally disenchanted with both parties, Watson.

                    I mean - let's assume you agree that Trump is a low life scum bag and needs to be removed from office...

                    BESIDES THAT, what have the Democrats actually accomplished?
                    What can they point to to say "vote for us because we...." (and not what they promise, but what they DID)

                    Note: This is NOT A "I HATE TRUMP" thread - there are plenty of threads already for that.
                    There's S.R. 8. Universal Background Checks for gun sales that passed the House and has 90% approval among Americans polled.

                      Have you actually read the thread? It's wonderful that the Dems pass bills, but to actually accomplish anything, they have to also pass the Senate (or compromise with a similar bill) and be signed by POTUS.

                      I have already acknowledged that is a pretty stiff challenge, given the division and partisanship in our country, so - so far - the best we have is the Robocall Bill, it seems.

                        So, I just did a search (using Tweb's search function which isn't always reliable) for me saying either of the words "equally" or "disenchanted" up to 3 months back - nothing.

                        Perhaps you can be of assistance.

                          I'll look for it. You've said more than once that both parties are irremediably broken and disgusting, or words to that effect, and yet none of your posts that I read bear that out. If you're not careful, you may start to give some of us the impression of being a less than honest person!

                          I can see how that could be confusing. I thought the word "claim" would have clarified it. Your claim to be thoroughly disgusted with both parties appears to be dishonest.

                            Also there's somewhat of a bipartisan - if not effort - then at least an agreement on southern wall. The Democrats are against it, and The Republicans are not for it.

                              Okay, you never actually used the word "equally," but you have said that both parties stink to high heavens. Is that something that we really have to quantify?

                                Wow, you certainly take liberties with the words of other people!

                                I see you backed off the word "equally", though now you're adding "thoroughly" disgusted.

                                As I stated earlier in this very thread...
