I'm afraid my words would be censored so cannot say.

(11,142 posts)Let's say it is at a place like Fuddrucker's, or Portillo's or another such place where they call out your name when your food is ready. I would make sure to have my order for 'Mr. Couch' and take my sweet time going up to the counter. Some of the places like this are rather aggressive when it comes to getting the orders 'out the window', so they will say it over and over.

(1,172 posts)I remember the last time my dad forced one of us as kids to eat a dish we didn't like. My little brother ate the beans and then lost the beans all over the dinner table. So, no words from me, just involuntary 🤮 as I passed JD's table while trying to escape a forced encounter.

(15,399 posts)The only thing I'd ask him is "as a practicing, devout Catholic, which level of Dante's Hell does he expect to go to, or is he delusional enough to think he's going to end up in Limbo?"
Because he sure as hell isn't speaking or acting like a devout Catholic. He's acting like a Cafeteria Casual Christian, making deals with the God he supposedly believes in and ignoring the established rules of that God if he doesn't think it matters or benefits him.
The logical nature of Blasphemy is not simply taking God's name in vain.
Blasphemy is claiming you know the will of God and interpret it solely for your benefit, forcing others to obey you in God's name. Blasphemy is claiming you speak for God.

(5,101 posts)1. Your book was terrible and does not reflect Appalachia. While you may have summered with your "mamaw, " you obviously didn't live the experience. You're a dilettante. Your book was a self-congratulatory paean that trashed an entire people whose community you only really lived on the edges of.
2. You talked about how proud you were to have an Ivy League education and that your "mamaw" helped you get it. When you went to Yale Law School, you'd had a tour with the Marines and an undergraduate degree from OSU. You were a grown-ass man and shouldn't have had to sponge off of your grandmother to go to law school. Shameful if you ask me. I thought Republicans had their own bootstraps.
3. Speaking of "mamaw," you really should stop using that word. Coming from someone with an Appalachian accent, it sounds genuine. Coming from you, it sounds contrived. It's pronounced "mamAW" with a hard "W," not "mam-ahh."
4. How do you live with yourself? You are willing to do anything and say anything in service of Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. Are you able to taste the food, or is all the shit you've eaten getting in the way? You know what you're saying is wrong when you say it. It's easy to see in your eyes. Doesn't it haunt you? Don't you know your kids are going to see these videos and know you for what you are? Are you as utterly amoral as Donald Trump? Do you want to raise kids that are as utterly amoral as his?
5. Stop talking. Shut the fuck up. I don't want to hear another self-justifying word from you.

I would talk anout the American apologists for Malmedy, where during WWII in Dec 1944 captive US soldiers were viciously murdered, and then Americans of his bent supported the Nazis that did it. ?si=In3NJBLic1cazsnY
Warning, it is hard on the nerves. Trigger warning.
I would tell him we see him. We will not let them take us back.

(11,203 posts)Ask him about how he was so easily manipulated by the right (I believe he included a lot of it in his book and that is why I found it such a frustrating read). Ask him if he can remember a time when he was truly happy and not filled with hate.
Pretty sure he would agree with everything I said, but then return to agreeing with everything his bankrollers and think tank buddies say.

(5,345 posts)Were the things that, Jesus Christ, the man you profess to follow, preached like forgiveness and love, just too woke for you? If your answer is yes, are you sure, you're being honest with yourself and the public about actually being a Christian?
Zoomie1986
(1,213 posts)Maybe you're the one who needs to read all of what he said and did. Start with that classic MAGA act of that lard and savior assaulting the money lenders for offending him.
Nearly every Christian I've encountered not only bragged about him doing that, but thought attacking those moneylenders was a good and proper thing to do. So much for meek and mild and turning the other cheek.
And that's not the only instance of horrible behavior from him.
But yeah, keep propping up that fantasy that there is no relation between the behavior of hateful, violent people who follow a person who committed a hateful violent act like that.

I have one message for you: You will soon be history and a cautionary tale to future generations of how we must remain forever vigilant against all who threaten the true American values represented in our declaration of independence and constitution.

(18,613 posts)I'd ask him how he went from USMC to meeting Peter Thiel, becoming a Venture Capitalist and ending up in GOP politics.
His book reads like a BIO of a Democratic politician...
(for those that don't know... the book ends before that stage of his life)
