“I finally retired this month, and now I finally have to answer the question “What do I want to be when I grow up?””

Enjoy it, in good health, if at all possible…

Welcome to retirement, LifeSavor.

I suggest Retirees have three new hobbies, just to keep you busy. Three of mine are reloading, protecting the local (small-c) church and the BIG-C Church, and giving away to the (verified – no Somalis here) poor.

Congrats on answering the question, “What do I want to be when I grow up?”

“Then, his demeanor instantly changes. His eyes open wide, his voice gets louder, his words get sharper, and his face gets redder. Instant anger.”

Oh yeah, I’ve run into those types. Just the mere mention of the name ‘Trump’ is enough to send them over the edge sometimes. I like to have a little fun with it at times, like chanting ‘Trump Trump Trump’ to the left wingers that inhabit the outdoors tables at a local coffee place, man, if looks were daggers they would have stabbed me to death but they start screaming how Trump is (what ever they can come up with from what they have been fed as they try to scream it and spit and sputter their words) and all red faced and animated and I think I caused one guy to maybe have some kind of cardiac event one day ’cause as I was driving off he suddenly stopped screaming at me and I could see him in the rear view mirror bent over clutching his chest then he fell.

Hey, .40!

I have not been commenting much here on SNW or on TTAG, but I do read your posts (and others, of course). Here is an anecdotal illustration of your comment about rage driving the left:

My neighbor is a retired college professor. We get along very well as long as I ignore the fact that he coats his gardens with carcinogenic chemicals. (By the way, he has cancer). Other than that, he is very pleasant and very grateful for the help I provide….unless Trump’s name comes up. (I NEVER mention it). Then, his demeanor instantly changes. His eyes open wide, his voice gets louder, his words get sharper, and his face gets redder. Instant anger. I learned a long time ago not to beat my head against a brick wall.

Anyway, why am I not posting much here or on TTAG? Well, I finally retired this month, and now I finally have to answer the question “What do I want to be when I grow up?”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Social Media Provides Sickening Proof of Just How Far Left Healthcare Has Become.

I’ve been warning of this for years. I have personally seen how unhinged and prone to violent acts these types of left wingers become.

We used to have a very large left winger anti-gun contingent here. They did not mind one little bit getting right up in your face, pushing and shoving. One even tried to stab me in a store one day – she actually grabbed a kitchen type knife from the store shelf and came at me with it, she was angry that I was armed – lucky for her I did not shoot her because store security just so happen to have seen what was happening and tackled her but I already had my gun coming out of the holster when they piled onto her but if they had not I would have for a fact shot her if she persisted in her attack.

Over time I’ve also seen the rioting and protesting left wingers.

I’ve looked in their eyes when they are triggered, its not reason or logic or even signs of intelligence – its rage and wanting to harm or kill plain and simple. And even when not triggered they are looking for a reason to get triggered.

These people operate on emotional confirmation bias, not reason or logic or common sense. And even when they are not being triggered they are looking for some way to get triggered – they have this constant need to be validated, to be affirmed, to be a ‘victim’, for their inner self manufactured rage and angst to be satiated, and they view everything through the filter of emotionally driven confirmation bias and completely ignore context and reason and logic. They are not stable people, you can not reason with them, when you encounter them get away from them fast because if you do not you may need to end up shooting them.

Ok, wanna play that huh…. are you really sure?

Ya sure do talk tough and stupid when the camera is on you trying to get others to do your dirty work for you. Make sure its on you and you are talking tough and stupid when someone walks up behind you and kills you – its gonna be a heck of a selfie.
