Damn, that's real shitty (hah). Thanks for the explanation!

I agree 100%! We are in agreement.

But it would be very odd for even a good chunk of those Biden voters to agree with the police chief's "let's go Brandon" stance. The Venn diagram of Biden voters and people who dislike Biden is by no means a circle (I should know--I'm one of them), but as far as I'm aware, the "let's go Brandon" crowd does not include very many Biden voters.

🤦🏻

it has worked for me for over 40 years

Some would argue that anyone who is still a member of the Republican Party at this point is obviously fully embracing the ignorant hate and fascist politics that has become the Republican brand. You are the company you keep, after all. You don’t get to kick your feet up and claim to not be a part of something that you fully support with your vote.

This is also the biggest issue our society is dealing with. Tolerating far too much intolerance. You don’t have to take my word for it, folks like MLK and many others have been trying to get everyone to understand this for generations. Brush up on his thoughts about moderates in his letter from Birmingham jail.

:) Ya whomever. Just about zero interest in either but ya you are correct Great White at the Lancaster Fair last year.

We could use you back.

I’m from Utah and it was big news out there.

Not only that, but it’s been bad since the 90’s. And every few years I’m like “I’m gonna give it another try” and then come up disappointed that I didn’t cross the parking lot and get Pie in the Sky.

That St. Albans one has got to be the worst one that there is in all of pizza huts there nasty there

That's bad ass.

When I was a kid - in the early 80s - some drunks were smashing shantys with their truck in the middle of the night and they killed a guy sleeping in one.

What I did a couple times - admittedly completely asshole move and deserved for the fisherman to beat the shit outta me - was borrow my brother's Big Red Three-Wheeler (yeah, I'm that old) and ride down a line of tip-ups snapping them like twigs while doors busted open on shantys and some angry ass Vermonter would come flying out howling at me. I know it's bad but I'm laughing right now at it because that memory is so damn vivid. Good times.

Of course, as an adult, I got my jeep stolen in DC, so, y'know...karma.

" Town manager Jeff Schulz said Northfield has looked into complaints about its police chief and will continue to do so. Schulz declined to say whether the town would take any action, calling the situation a personnel issue."

I mostly disagree with his politics but he's got a first amendment right to express them. Northfield residents calling for his firing had better be prepared for their taxes to go up owning to the lawsuit they're going to have to pay out when he sues the town for unfair and illegal termination.

Just because you voted for Biden doesn’t mean you’re not a racist.

You haven’t responded to half of what I’ve written dude. This “I’m just trying to have a conversation” bullshit is exhausting. GLHF

I may be mistaken but I don’t think you understand what male/female means. And I can absolutely guarantee that you don’t understand it on a biological level. I think your point is ignorant not bigoted because bigoted would suggest understanding.

In no way am I a victim. I'm just pointing out that instead of responding to what I said you spent two paragraphs mischaracterizing what I said or attacking other comments I made.

It is what happens when someone sees your point and can't come up with a good response.

Again, none of my points are based around the idea of not accepting or trusting trans people. I just believe that we have valued exclusive male/female spaces for hundreds of years and if we want to abolish that we should be able to have a reasonable discussion about the pros and cons.

If election results are any indicator, then that's not true.

The town has a lot of very vocal and visible jackasses, but if we're talking about the number of people, they are the smaller group, measurably so.

Lol. Honey republicans AND democrats have changed their allegiances quite a bit since Lincoln's time. They are not the same parties.

Ok, if someone feels there are circumstances where male/female exclusive spaces have value, is that an inherently bigoted position?

I would blast top speed up the channel on a snowmobile when I was young and dumb.

Yeah I used to follow lots of local news sites but their feeds are so full of this crap now I can only do VPR, digger, 7D, and The Islander.

>It’s not as good as it was in the 80’s

That's damn right.

Yep. It’s a rigged system to keep those in charge in charge.
I’m not sure how it is even legal in todays world. Our old Secretary of State supported town meeting floor votes and our new Secretary does as well.

> Now I have no shorts.

now you have no balls. Piranhas eat flesh, not clothing.

Haven’t read it in years. First they fired all but a few reporters. Then they hired an editor who thought it was ok to not report on violent crimes and wrote an editorial about it that was on their website for a year
