HERE IT IS... my post #100,000
WOW. I hit the milestone. It took me almost 20 years to get to this point.
From mistakes I made I have lost a few DU friends. Saying I'm sorry probably won't reestablish friendship with those many DUers. I am sorry for the mistakes I've made. There have been too many to list.
High points for me on the DU include sharing my diagnosis for dementia several years ago. I'm still going strong. Having the Labor Group named after me. Raising $2.4 million for Biden/Harris 4 years ago. Lots of nature pictures I used to post. Being a long time host. Meeting Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and talking about the DU. You get the idea. Feel free to add to this list.
I doubt I'll have another 20 years on the DU. That doesn't mean I won't try.
In solidarity,
OS

SHOCKING? German Leftists Downgrade Child Porn from a Felony to a Misdemeanor
...Leftists are perverts. It is in Germany, the same nation that gave us Nazis Germany.
They know their base has no memory. Greg Palast is a moonbat political writer who wrote about how W stole Florida way back in 2000, said 2016 was rigged for the Republican candidate, but the string pullers just didn't expect Trump to get the candidacy. He then released a book in the summer of 2020 called "How Trump Stole The Election". Haven't read it yet, but I also haven't seen his retraction either.
The article author doesn't have much of a memory either. He calls for a general strike if Trump wins, even legitimately. When has there ever been a general strike in the US? Never. Yes, various industry specific strikes over the last century, but there's not going to be any general strike, especially with so many people living payday to three days before payday. He's also missed the big divide still in the GOP over Trump. The party not going to rally behind Trump, a slight majority may grudgingly follow him, but especially if there's a mess like 2020, most will likely stay quiet and "neutral".
That's not his pitch, Cryano. In fact, in his remarks in the Bronx yesterday, he said "the harder you work, the luckier you get." And also stressed the importance of never losing your momentum. This is not "free drinks" rhetoric.
