This is why we must split the country

One side plays balls to the walls and the other plays a wall flower.

This poor bastard will be out of business in a few weeks. As if Covid isn't enough.

I'd like to see some of these people literally get mugged by reality but there's a certain breed these days that don't change. Must feel too good to be an SJW.

Sometimes it does seem the best solution is to split the country but I don't know how it could be done geographically.

Mr Bosco has learned a painful lesson:

Never mix business with politics.

IMHO, splitting the country would be the complete end to the US.

Why is it nobody seems to understand that without UNIFIED military strength and presence, we'd not last long before being annexed by Russia and/or china?

Does everyone think that they'd just stand by waiting for us to get our stuff together?

That’s the biggest problem with it. Red Dawn Baby! Wolverines!

The cafe owner violated my most cherished rule of business:

"Although the customer is usually wrong...the business owner must act as if the customer is always right".

Exactly

My politics and my business will NEVER meet.
We have refused many groups on both sides of the abortion issue because they want to hang signage for their event...nope, no way, no how.

A favorite quote of mine from the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales, by the river boat pilot who took folks across the Missouri during the Civil War:
"I need to be able whistle Dixie and sing The Battle Hymn of The republic equally as well"
That says it all as far as I'm concerned.

At work we don't discuss politics, religion and women's reproductive rights. There is simply NO MIDDLE GROUND or room for mutual compromise on those issues.

The great country where freedom of speech was once PARAMOUNT...where people used to say "I don't agree with what you say, but I'll fight for your right to say it"...we all now cower in fear that we might say the wrong ****ing thing and lose our jobs...our businesses....or even worse.

And we cower in fear from a virus that at any other point of history would have been a footnote in the "strong flu" column....

Lots of COWERING going on in a once great nation.

Not a good look.

The concept of a foreign country forcibly taking land from another is so beyond the comprehension of the "woke" contingent.

Maybe...

However, I believe Native Americans have a pretty good grasp of the concept.

In other news...

The State of Oklahoma just lost 1/2 its territory.
