I brought up an event that happened. I never mentioned anyone specifically simply his encounter with law enforcement over a domestic battery type situation as an example of an apparent propensity to bully others with whom he disagrees with which seems consistent with posts he’s made here in the past directed at people with whom he disagrees.

The fact that you were around at point in time and know the players in the drama is one thing. But if you were not present when the event occurred then you have no direct knowledge of the actual incident in question. If you are privy to an affidavit of probable cause, witness statements and follow-up investigation narratives then I’ll stipulate that you know what happened. Absent that your opinion of my summation is just that an opinion.

One thing that I do seem to recall, perhaps I’m confused, was a post that John made here many, many months ago where stated that either him or his wife was going to jail and he decided he’d go because he felt he could handle it better. That doesn’t fit the narrative in the story he told most recently. The most recent story didn’t include any discussion of anything she did that would warrant her going to jail. So again I’m confused.

That said, I’m perfectly content to drop this. In fact, I had no intention of posting anything more regarding this a few posts back. But if someone wants to lecture me I’ll respond in kind. Otherwise consider this my last post on the subject.

By the way Thomas as I recall you and the person who brought this up the last time spent quite a bit of time hanging out together when the two of you lived near each other. In fact I recall him slipping a pic past the mods of a guy lying on the ground behind the two of you masterbating for which he earned a timeout. I don’t seem to recall you lecturing him back then. Not that it really matters.

Since I do intend this to be my last post unless…. In response to being called lowlife I’d like to say for the record it takes a real low life to physically assault a family member.

I really don't care either way. That's my opinion and I really don't see it changing.

On the other hand, if you want to have a civil debate on the subject of bullying and the residual affects of such we can do that all day long. There is an abundant amount of research that supports my conclusion. But if it's unrelated to the specific issue being discussed in this thread at this time I think another thread that is generic in scope should be started. I'll defer to you to start that thread if you want to have that discussion.

Biden camp suggests president quickly endorsed Kamala Harris to defy Barack Obama



There’s buzz swirling within the Biden camp that the president’s swift endorsement of Kamala Harris was his revenge on prominent party leaders — including Barack Obama — who pressured him to bow out of the race against his will, sources told The Post.

Joe Biden, who said he was dropping out ā€œin defense of democracyā€ during his public address Wednesday, had been told by Obama to allow delegates at next month’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago to decide a new candidate, a source close to the Biden family claimed.

ā€œIt was Joe’s big f–k you,ā€ the source said. ā€œJoe said, ā€˜If I’m out, then I am endorsing her.'ā€

Talk among insiders is that Biden saw this as a final way to assert some control over his ouster.

A well-placed Democratic Party source said they have heard the same, telling The Post that Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York Senator Chuck Schumer wanted to hold ā€œa mini primaryā€ which Obama believed Harris would not win.

Multiple sources told The Post that Obama had wanted Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly ā€œat the top of the ticketā€ at the convention.

On Sunday, Biden resigned from the 2024 presidential campaign in a statement posted to X and almost immediately followed up with a social-media endorsement of Vice-President Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Biden’s endorsement of Harris was ā€œJoe truly knifing Obama and Pelosi in the back for making him stand down,ā€ the Democratic Party source told The Post.

Another longtime Washington insider revealed that Biden plans on taking an active role in Harris’s campaign.

ā€œIt allows Biden to retain leverage as a much more experienced hand at national politics, which will be good for her,ā€ the Washington insider said. ā€œIt means her campaign won’t be run by a bunch of insular advisors.ā€

There have long been ā€œsimmering tensionsā€ between Obama and Biden, which began in 2015 when Obama convinced Biden not to run for president in the 2016 race, the well-placed Democratic Party source said.

Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama officially endorsed Harris on Friday.

NBC previously reported that the former president waited because he did not want to overshadow Biden’s televised address to Americans on Wednesday.

The knives were out for Biden, 81, after his disastrous debate with Republican nominee for president Donald Trump last month.

According to a source close to the Biden family, prominent Democrats threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution and urge the vice president and the cabinet to remove Biden from office, the source said.

The source said that the belief within the family is that Obama wanted to get Biden out of the race — and an op-ed written by George Clooney in the New York Times, asking him to step aside, was a part of that plan.

Calls to the offices of Obama and Biden, as well as the Democratic National Committee, were not returned.

Obama persuading Biden not to run for the presidency in 2016, allowing Hillary Clinton a shot at the Oval Office, has since been a sticking point between the two men, according to reports.

What do you think? Post a comment.

ā€œHe was not encouraging,ā€ Biden later told the New York Times, referring to Obama.

As for the race ahead, Obama has little faith in Harris, the source close to the Biden family claimed.

ā€œObama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance,ā€ the source said.

ā€œShe cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.ā€

So does Joe believe he's going to run now that someone left office???

Below you will find all of my comments in this thread since you attacked Russ. Before you look back through them there are a few things that would be worth noting.

I've stated that you were arrested for some sort of domestic abuse type situation and even said I didn't know the details. In fact, my remarks regarding your arrest are consistent with what you have said. So your assumption that I'm harping on you doing something that I do not know about is false because I've been very careful not accuse you of anything specific.

I've stated that you bully people who don't share your beliefs. If you want, I'll be happy to dig back through your 50,000+ posts you've made here. You can delete some of them but I'm fairly certain I can come up with a few gems.

I don't think I've been oblique or hinted at anything. In fact, I think I have been quite clear.

I stated that you have a propensity for name calling and how that is an indicator of someone who has esteem issues and even gave references for that assumption. Do I need to post examples of the alleged name calling?


We had a short herf in Orlando. Certainly, nowhere near enough time to go into details. In fact, I do not even recall this topic coming up for discussion because I know i wouldn't want to spend what little time, we had with the other person there discussing your trials and tribulations, but more mutually inclusive subjects. However, whatever details you may or may not have shared would have been your version of what happened which may or may not be completely true.

Since you also tied that with sharing with me because I was going through a divorce, I'll have to drop the BS flag because I didn't even separate from my wife until more than 2 years after. Therefore, I'll have to rate that narrative as false.

What’s worse a person is believed to need mental help by someone who probably doesn’t have the appropriate training or credentials to make such an assessment or a guy that gets arrested for beating a family member?

Abrignac wrote:



Actually I found out the details when you and Victor got into a pissing match which led to him posted the link here. Not from any alleged ā€œsharingā€ encounter.

As far your opinion of me I could care less. I care more about the slime a snail leaves in its trail than you or your opinions.

Why did I bring it up? That’s simple. Russ posted something and what did you do? You attacked him by posting that he needed mental help. It seems you attack anyone who disagrees with you. It’s seems you’ve done constantly since I joined the board twelve or so years ago. It would be my guess this is behavior that’s gone on far longer, but I don’t know, nor do I care. So I simply put it in to perspective of what sort of person you seem to be.

I don’t know the details of what led to your encounter with law enforcement regarding the matter. Nor am I interested in hearing your side. I worked in law enforcement long enough to know there are ALWAYS two sides to every story and the truth lies somewhere between them. But from what information has been available to me it seems it’s consistent with how you conduct yourself here which that of a person who attacks those with whom you don’t see eye to eye.

In terms of how the ā€œboardā€ views me that also is of no concern to me. For better or worse I am who I am and I live my life the way I see fit. If someone has a problem then they are free to block my comments. If someone disagrees with me, fine. I understand that people will disagree over all sorts of ideas. So I won’t lose a moment’s sleep either way.

Abrignac wrote:



This may or may not be 100% accurate. Who knows? You lied when you stated that shared this story with me in front of witnesses.

There are always two sides to every story. Usually when someone tells a story they tell it a way that shows them in the best light possible especially when it involves them being arrested. So absent a full copy of the court file including things like an affidavit of probable cause, witness statements and narratives of any follow-up investigation all we have is your version. Maybe this is accurate. Maybe this is a complete fabrication.

Considering all of the stuff I've done with my life...especially in my 20's and 30's...whoa. What mighta cudda never did but it went down stuff. Never stopped me from buying an AR-pistol nor the M&P 9MM and Rock Island M1911 I just bought this week...oh how to destroy your little narrative. Never took a carry conceal away either. What's that say about me? Says more about You!

Yeah, read it all. You type like a lunatic Anthony. It's a bunch of garbage, effluvia, dreck and make-believe. I only told you to read it not type your crap twice!!!!

Like I said before, you hold no sway in my life. You hold nothing over me. Whatever it is you think you have is a fart in your face. You're hellbent on showing everyone here what a first class d!ck you can be by picking scabs in the name of Protector of Russ. Tried to get you to stop, you even said you would. Here you are typing away meandering all over the place trying to smear my reputation in a Pedo Joe thread about his administration!


PS: Russ doesn't need your help nor did he ask for it here. As you can clearly see, I was really worried, stated my reasons. He's cool with me. I'm cool with him. You can take that massively exalted rambling anti-bully excrement and shove it back up where it came out! Keep your nose in your own lane and it wouldn't get bent as hard. NOBODY ASKED FOR YOUR .02 CENTS!

Code of ethics?
Bullying?
Differing accounts are just opinion unless it’s an affidavit, yet your opinion is beyond reproach?
Nobody had the balls to call him out….maybe because it wasn’t our GD business because it hadn’t reached a line not to be crossed.
Do you think I enjoyed telling your blind ass that you were being classless?

I will tell you something I used to tell Victor and Ben in jest (to humor them) I’m praying for you buddy.

I don’t have an opinion to be beyond reproach as to what caused John to get arrested. I’ve stated more than once but like him just can’t seem to comprehend the fact that I have said that numerous times.

No need to hold my hand by telling my seeing-impaired ass anything. I’ve walked on my own since I was a toddler. I don’t need your help. If you don’t like what I post use the ignore button. Doesn’t matter to me either way.

In my most humorous voice, please save your prayers for someone who wants them. I neither believe in nor seek salvation.

President Biden – A Single Point of Failure for America


In the military, we operate under the principle that failure is not an option. It’s time for our leaders to adopt the same mindset. The security and future of our nation depends on it.

Last Sunday, President Joe Biden made the appropriate decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race amid pressure and a soft coup attempt from Democrats. While dropping out, Biden, our sitting commander-in-chief, hid in Delaware for almost a week without being seen by the American people, prompting ā€œproof of lifeā€ demands. Unfortunately, this past week is not the first time this has happened before – Joe Biden has been missing in action for the last four years as our country has been falling apart around him.

As a retired Navy SEAL and former Marine, I’ve had the honor and duty of serving this country in some of the most challenging and dangerous situations imaginable. Our missions demanded precision, adaptability, and unwavering leadership. Any failure, any gap in our planning or execution, could cost lives. That’s why it is deeply troubling to see the current state of leadership under President Biden, who has become a ā€œsingle point of failureā€ as our commander-in-chief. His weakness continues to put America in grave danger as our enemies seek to capitalize from America’s missing leader.

It’s no secret that the Biden administration has admitted that the president can only take meetings and function in a presidential capacity from 8 AM to 4 PM. This startling admission should be a wake-up call for all Americans. The presidency is not a 9-to-5 job; it demands constant vigilance and the ability to respond to crises at any hour. The world doesn’t stop turning when the president clocks out, nor do the threats to our national security. It begs the question many have been asking: if Biden can’t serve another four years in office, why should he be allowed to serve another three and a half months in office?

In the military, redundancy is a core principle, particularly in the SEALs. Every mission, every piece of gear, and every communication line has a backup. This ensures that no single failure can jeopardize the entire operation. If one plan falters, another is ready to be executed immediately. This redundancy is crucial for maintaining the integrity and success of our missions.

Unfortunately, this principle is missing from the current administration. The fact that President Biden is limited to such a narrow window of availability and missing from the public eye for nearly a week straight after announcing on ā€œXā€ that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race raises serious questions about the continuity of government operations. What happens during the hours he is unavailable? Who has been in charge for the last week? Who makes critical decisions in times of crisis? In a time of crisis, the inability to contact top officials can have catastrophic consequences.

Only the president can fulfill numerous critical roles. He alone has the authority to make final decisions on national security matters, launch nuclear missiles, sign executive orders, and serve as the armed forces commander-in-chief. The president is also the primary representative of the United States on the global stage, engaging with foreign leaders and making decisions that affect international relations. These responsibilities demand a leader who is always fully engaged and capable.


Our success as SEALs relies on our trust in our leadership and the systems that support us. Knowing that the president is limited in his capacity to lead effectively erodes that trust. It’s akin to entering a mission without knowing if our commander is fully prepared or even present. The American people deserve a leader who is always ready to act in their best interests, not one who is only partially available.

The absence of a clear plan or redundancy for such scenarios is troubling. In times of emergency, there must be a seamless transition of authority and decision-making capabilities. The current state of affairs suggests that there is no adequate backup and contingency plan. This lack of foresight and preparation is not just a managerial oversight but a national security risk.as a nation, we cannot afford to have our highest office and critical government positions operating under such constraints. The world is watching, and our adversaries are keenly aware of any weaknesses. We need an administration that understands the importance of redundancy and has plans to ensure the continuity of leadership and operations.

Right now, America’s leaders are asleep at the wheel. We have no idea who is truly running our country as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have actively tried to bring down the greatest country in history. In the military, we operate under the principle that failure is not an option. It’s time for our leaders to adopt the same mindset. The security and future of our nation depends on it.

Biden has been limited as a leader due to his mental decline, Harris is never going to be ready to be any kind of leader because she's created nothing and is abhorrently wrong for every government position she's ever held. Even when she was running she never cracked 4% and was on her way to losing a primary in her own home state! She cannot run on a record with any favorable outcome tied to it because she has been an abject failure in it all. Even with the media scrubbing websites and yanking down videos where she's trying to claim she was never appointed by Bide to be "Border Czar", you can still find those links.. It's just more lying to you and them putting the full weight of the Free Press on the scale.

Putin vows ā€˜mirror measures’ if US puts missiles in Germany in 2026, as planned


Russian dictator Vladimir Putin promised to ā€œmirror measuresā€ if the United States follows through on plans to station longer-range and hypersonic missiles in Germany — claiming the move would free Russia from a moratorium on deploying its own long-range, lethal weapons.

Speaking Sunday at a naval parade in St. Petersburg, Putin said Russia may deploy the missiles in response to a US announcement earlier this month that it would affirm its commitment to NATO — and the defense of Europe — by installing its weapons in Germany, starting in 2026.

ā€œIf the U.S. implements such plans, we will consider ourselves free from the previously imposed unilateral moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter-range strike weapons, including increasing the capability of the coastal forces of our navy,ā€ Putin said.

He also claimed Moscow is in the final stages of developing such systems.

Ground-based, intermediate-range weaponry was banned for decades after a 1987 treaty between the US and the Soviet Union.

But America backed out of the agreement in 2019 after claiming the Russians had conducted missile tests that broke its tenets. Russia denied the allegations.

Since then — and especially over the last few weeks — both sides have seemed more willing to deploy the weapons, even as they resurrect spine-chilling Cold War memories.

The US military is expected to place a cornucopia of munitions in Germany, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, SM-6 missiles and ā€œdevelopmental hypersonic weapons,ā€ some of which have a much longer range than others already deployed in Europe, according to a joint statement from Washington and Berlin.

For years, Putin has decried such deployments as aggressive moves that sought to kneecap Moscow’s own abilities.

Last week, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said the Kremlin isn’t ruling out new deployments of nuclear missiles, either.

Most of Russia’s missile systems are capable of carrying either conventional or nuclear warheads.

Our current President is funding Ukraine when their own neighbors scoff at them. Billions of dollars sent with ZERO accountability.

Especially when a time we're also funding illegal aliens breaking our laws and invading our nation.

All at the hands of this administration, and to make matters worse...the VP that's currently running for CIC...she was used as a "threat" to Biden to end his candidacy as she was going to use the 25th Amendment against him for his dereliction to duty and being unfit to serve. Well, she didn't and he's still President all while she's running!

https://reason.com/podcast/2024/07/25/alex-thompson-why-did-biden-drop-out/ [/i][/color]

Why is he still in office? He has proved he cannot do the job and is dragging the nation and the entire world close to World War III.
