1- Everything you have said about the "Chicago Exchange" is true. Good job. 2- What you think I said about leaving Chicago when I was a kid didn't happen. I will be nice and tell you don't waste your time looking for it. 3- Guessing about whether I live in Florida or Texas is a waste of your time. I do my best not to provide personal information on the Internet. You consistently saying that I hate blacks because of what they have done to me and my family is close. I don't hate them. I just find some of them do not deserve my respect. Same with other races who do crime, I do not like them either. It doesn't matter what color they are. 4- Where did I say that I thought you were the only member here at ET who is a veteran? I have never said that. 5- I am aware of how your nick changed from Nihaba to wrbtrader. It's a nice story. I also like your old nickname, Nihaba. 6- Emmet Moore is an ass. Sorry about what I said in that regards earlier. 7- Glad you didn't pick the name "Scull". That would of never fit you like wrbtrader does. 8- I didn't realize you are a 4th generation Catholic. 9- Not too sure about what you are talking about the paratroopers landing in Georgia thing? But that's okay. 10- I once had a friend with an accent who lived in Chicago for most of his life. I was one of only a few who could understand him. And yes, he was black. One of my very good friends from my past. 11- Great that girls liked your accent. Whatever works! 12- Interesting that you know the spoken language of the Lakota and it helped you when you were in the Military. 13- I just read an article the other day claiming Biden will not follow the science of Covid-19. I almost started a thread about. I will go look and see if can find it. IF I do, (I think I know where it is) I will start a thread about it and you can counter what is in the article) And no, not misinformation about 2 million dying as Joe and his party would not of shut down as fast as Trump did. You can find things on the Internet about how what they thought Trump was doing was actually racist. (Pelosi dancing in Chinese area streets, ect). 14- Yes, Trump said it was war against the Wuhan Virus and people laughed at him for claiming he was a war President. WTF. It was not funny at all. 15- Confirmed deaths with Covid-19 are all over the map. It is claimed that you have to have some other problem to die from it. I wouldn't trust any reporting in this area. Example: If you crash your motorcycle and die and you had Covid-19, Covid-19 is claimed as the cause of death on your death certificate. There are many other examples of this type of reporting. 16- So S. Korea did not lockdown? Good for them because in the U.S.A, the Democratic governor's did lock downs and millions upon millions of people lost their jobs. Biden keeps going back and forth over the lockdown issue and he isn't even President yet. I think I posted a thread about it. 17- IF you want to continue following the Socialist Democrats (that is what the Dems are, not just Omar, AOC, ect) go ahead be my guest as a permanent full time citizen of the USA with no pledges to other countries that are opposed to the USA in different areas we give you that right. In the USA, we are supposedly free to do what we want, think, ect, even though free speech is being attacked at all levels due to the Nazi's of the Leftist Agenda. Welcome to your party where big Tech giants like Google, Twitter, YouTube, are stifling free speech. The Dems also want to take away guns from the people. As a vet, I would think this is appalling for you to see, to say the least. Dems want this country to be Socialist and have Capitalism crushed. I am horrified just to think of it. 18- IF for some reason you can't travel to the US right now, it is not the fault of the Republicans, it is the fault of the Democrats and their continuing paranoia of the Wuhan Virus or perhaps the policies of the Canadian government.
You read my reply to easymon1 too fast. I stated there's video of Trump attacking Republican George Bush for being shot down. I then posted the video of his interview in which he factually stated such in front of a live audience. The Republican party including the RNC were furious. The reason why I posted that video and Trump's other comments against Republican leadership that were military veterans was to show Trump's corrosive habit of attacking military veterans. This is something he did too prior to him entering politics (links posted a long time ago). All the above is why I often refer to Trump as a Trojan Horse because he's a member of the Reform Party that use to aggressively go after the Republican party / Democratic party. Yet, he couldn't get his foot in the door that way in which he ran before but lost the nomination. Simply, he tried again a different way (Trojan Horse) via getting nominated as a Republican when in reality he's a reformist. That's why he had so many conflicts with military veterans like George Bush and John McCain... To show the timeline why the comments by Trump Administration people in Paris, France in which the reporter Jennifer Griffin from Fox News had reported about (Losers and Suckers) is believable based upon Trump history of attacking GOP military veterans. Simply, you mixed that up with the video I posted of Trump attacking Republican military veterans with something I NEVER stated there was a video of him saying Losers an Suckers. Instead, I stated a reporter from Fox News by the name of Jennifer Griffin reported that he stated those comments (Suckers and Losers) via her sources within the Trump Administration that was with him in Paris, France...names still not yet revealed but I suspect someone from within his party will be writing a tell all book after January 20th 2021. Thus, I'm implying that I suspect that reporter has not released the names of her sources is because it must be someone that's still working in the Trump Administration... Fox News must know the identity of the person that stated they heard what Trump said that was reported by their reporter. My guess is that it must be someone very credible from within the Trump administration for Fox News to back Jennifer Griffin and not fire her when Trump wanted Fox News to fire her for reporting about the comments (Losers and Suckers). A little different than another story about the "Anonymous" guy that wrote that story and than hid within Trump Administration in which Trump and Reporters couldn't determine whom outed Trump like that. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/anonymous-identity-revealed-miles-taylor-1.5780612 That's another reason why I enjoy making the "wolves circling Trump / Family" commentary is because his own Administration are going after him and I think its because they know he's a Trojan Horse (reform party)...not a true Republican. Wolves kill their own or drive out a member of their own pack to ensure survival of the pack. Trump is a wounded member...he's now the weak link in the Republican party since 2018. By the way, I voted for all the Bush's Presidential elections and my family members (all Republicans) in Arizona voted heavily in favor of John McCain...the same Republicans that did what it takes to bring in a Democrat to help root out problematic Republicans that follow Trump like some cult. Only two Democrats have ever won Arizona...its a Republican stronghold. There's many reason why Biden is now one of those Democrats to flip Arizona. Latinos didn't want Trump and the wolves (Republicans military leadership) didn't want Trump the Trojan Horse. Georgia flipped for different reasons...not anything to do with John McCain but more about the military and its veterans. Trump made a mistake with the military. The military protect their own when someone goes after it...publicly or privately. Its a tree that someone should not bark up. Too many military have died for United States of America for Democracy...its sacred blood loss to family members of the military. Changing the story a little...I will bring it up because it ties into the failure of Turmp supporting our military via talking bad about the military...is Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie. He supports Trump but Wilkie is also someone that fought hard to keep Nazis soldiers with their Swastika buried in next to our war dead in American cemeteries...under the close watch by a guy put into his position by Trump. One of my grandfather's brother's is buried at that cemetery. He was a 1st Lieutenant that died in WWII. I would always go to that cemetery to put flowers on his grave after visiting relatives in Arizona. Tough pill for me to swallow to walk by those Nazi graves...I was in a little shock the first time I saw it... I thought I was seeing things @ https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...d-from-us-veterans-cemeteries-va-leaders-say/ I told one of my grandfather's remaining living brothers what I saw at that cemetery... He cried uncontrollably and our entire family / military brothers are outrage. We wrote letters to any military leader we personally knew and others got the story out to the media. Just as shockingly...those tombstones had been there for 80 years or so. I didn't notice them when I was a teenager but then again...I didn't visit every tombstone and never heard anyone else complain about them. My point about me, its not about Republican and Democrats...its about the military and coronavirus (not addressed above). P.S. Someone read my message post to you about Chicago...after reading it a few times...I can see where we thought in error that you said you left Chicago when you were a kid...my apologies from several French speakers here at ET that misunderstood your message post. P.S.S. We can not project upon how many people would have died from Covid-19 under a Biden / Harris administration considering Trump / Pence administration were in charge. Yet, we can look at any past administration involving Biden and a Pandemic. If we did that...they did very good in a prior Pandemic without shutting down the economy. Going forward, I can say that Biden / Harris are impress by South Korea's Covid-19 performance and the simple science being used. It's the reason why I showed statistical graphs of South Korea's performance in my prior message post... They are very impress because South Korea and United States had their first Covid-19 death on the exact same day. P.S.S.S. I grew up in Evanston (north suburbs of Chicago) but as a habit by those that lived near Chicago...we say we grew up in the Chicago Area especially if we hang out there. Many of my childhood friends actually lived in the downtown area of Chicago what is now known as the Magnificent Mile area and some lived nearby in a suburb known as Oak Park...I know a lot of Italians (old money). wrbtrader
What strikes me the most in your reply is that Nazi soldiers were (or still are)? buried amongst American soldiers. I have never heard of this before. It shocks and dismays me. As far as the "I live in Chicago" thing, I can see where it looked like I did come from Chicago since those 2 sentences were so close to each other. And for Trump, I hope he isn't as bad as people say he is when it comes to the Military. I am just glad he didn't get us into a war or anything. I hope Biden does the same.
Nazi headstones will be removed from US veterans cemeteries, VA leaders say June 1, 2020 https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...d-from-us-veterans-cemeteries-va-leaders-say/
Hey ... buddy ... election's over. 60 years after the war ends, two soldiers emerge from the jungle https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/may/28/secondworldwar.japan
It's the primary reason why Trump wasn't prepared for Biden / Harris nor prepared for managing a Pandemic... They were still focus on Obama / Clinton even though those were elections years ago. They are living in the past instead of in what's happening today. People like that (e.g. Trump) have a personal vendetta that they are willing to let sink the entire WhiteHouse administration and Democracy to get payback. Also, its the reason why Covid-19 snuck into the WhiteHouse...they were still fixated on everything associated with the Democrats that they thought Covid-19 was a "Democrat Hoax" and/or they were fixated on trying to convince their followers (the base) that it was a "Democrat Hoax" just to garner more votes. I can still remember those rallies in which Trump was giving speeches as if he was a comedian...cracking jokes...all those people laughing about the "Covid-19 Democratic Hoax" and not wearing face masks not social distancing and making fun of Joe Biden rallies at those indoor rallies... @Wallet himself did it too here at ET...laughed about Biden's rallies. They are not laughing any more. In fact, the laughter stopped just before the November 3rd elections when Trump became infected...shit got serious then for the base. They realized the huge election mistake and even more today with our hospitals reaching over capacity levels with a screwed up vaccine distribution after all those "promises" that 20 million will be vaccinated by year end just to garner more votes. With that said, I still have faith in the Republicans...they will regroup but must do it without the Trumpism that's destroying Democracy or maybe trying to twist it into something that makes the United States look like a joke to other countries. Right now, a bigger mountain to take control...Covid-19 and the problematic distribution problems that's nowhere near the outline goals by the Trump administration of 20 million people vaccinated by end of December. I think the United States was only able to get 2 - 3 million vaccinated plus a lot of vulnerable people (e.g. elderly) not able to get vaccinated while Covid-19 naysayers in congress were able to get vaccinated. Happy New Year and hopefully it will be better than the Pandemic 2020. wrbtrader
