Hi folks. I'm Anti-Opusing, that is to say, I departed FR for a while, and this marks my return. I'm not a big believer in Opusing. I consider it a demonstration of outsized ego. Opuses are routinely mocked, and they should be.
So instead of Opusing, I just quietly stopped posting (while contacting everyone on my ping lists so I could stay in touch).
Frankly, Anti-Opusing might show outsized ego, too. I mean, who the heck am I? The forum did just fine without me. And another frank admission: I actually enjoyed my time away from the forum. I've been a consistent poster since 1999. This is the first time in DECADES that I stayed off FR. It was refreshing, really.
I won't go too deep into why I bailed for a while, except to say there is one Admin Mod who was quite insulting. I don't need to put up with that.
This Anti-Opus has a dual purpose: One, to inform my friends I'm back, and also to relay a meme I created as regards yesterday's severe and surprising defeat. Yeah, I expected we'd get destroyed in an explosion, but I expected TNT, not a nuclear weapon.
Okay. On to the meme. Enjoy and pass it around.
What’s up brother?
I too, have been posting less and less, and that AM has been a bit of a punk towards several other freepers
Anyway, my take on last night
BTW, obama and clinton lost by bigger margins in the second term of their presidency
We will manage this just fine. Until the next election cycle, mike, we always do
LOL
Nothing much will change from the White House
Trump will continue to govern the same he and all other presidents govern with a congress hostile to their agenda.
and therefor didn’t require house approval.
Obligated us in the Paris climate accord, for the sole purpose of disadvantaging the USA.
Trump will continue his presidency in the same vein as Clinton/Obama
Internationally, he hasn’t required much interaction from Congress and will likely continue to issue executive orders on the domestic agenda.
There really wasn’t a plan for major legislation in the next two years, and he will have to accept congress will absolutely not approve any nominations during the same period.
Everyone will continue to carp about the other side, as has been the hallmark of this Great Nation for the last 250 years.
There ain’t going to be coalition of 61 votes in opposition to the veto pen.
Sohhhh….Ain’t nothing changing except the whining.
Onward to 2028
May the best ideas win…
“Hello Opus.”
Quote from that great movie “A Wish for Wings that Worked”.
BTW, obama and clinton lost by bigger margins in the second term of their presidency
Congress, yes. But the States were an absolute massacre.
Welcome back...stop opussing already...
:]
Welcome back, Laz!😀
I'd like to volunteer The Hildabeast...
I’ll start- Sphincter
It's going to be a tight race...
I hadn’t noticed either...
Wait. I don’t see lowering gas prices and winning the war in Iran. Because that was what this election was all about. 🙄
Was it something I said? Something I did? Because I can change.
Good to hear from you again Laz. I was afraid that you wouldn’t “hit it” any longer.
Can’t spell Opus without pus.
Welcome back.
Hi, LAX. I have not been here often for quite a while. We knew the day would come when illegal immigrants would overwhelm our ability to preserve our culture. Biden accelerated the process at a record pace. Dependent people will always vote for the ones who will give them goodies. I do not see a way to put the genie in the bottle to stop what is happening. It won’t happen, but it would be a master stroke if Alito and Thomas immediately retired and we rammed home 2 true conservatives who are very young with little or no debate.
Glad to see you back. :-)
Sorta like quietly drifting on, is it still okay with you if when a FReeper kicks the bucket/croaks that a notification is posted to FR?
It’s good that you are back, Lazamataz.
Youre in luck. Laz is back!
Welcome back! 🤍
