    Let's be a little more precise; retail stores have always come and gone and these days it's more a matter of online sales changing the dynamic, the way people shop. With that cleanup out of the way; here's what you probably wanted to write but accepting hard truths would be a challenge:

    Trump Freaking Out Over Kamala Harris's Surge, Unfortunately He Won't Listen To Advisor's Pleading With Him To Campaign Rather Than Whining About Everything.

    That reads more closer to the truth. You're welcome.

    Please do not use your words to speak for me. You stand for everything I despise. A vote for Harris/Walz is a vote for child genitalia mutilation without parental consent. Look at Shiloh Jolie Pitt. She wanted to be called John, dressed like a boy, cut her hair like a boy. The freakazoids on the left would have let her cut off her breasts if she wanted to. Now look at her. A beautiful teen girl who wears pretty dresses and makeup and wants to be called Shiloh.

    Minnesota had to repeal Waltz' born alive bill re abortion. He wanted and signed into law "comfort care only" for born alive late term abortions. Liberals are sick people. You care more about abandoned animals than babies. Imagine an 8 month old baby, fully formed, breathing left to die due to a botched late term abortion.

    You and your ilk make me want to vomit. You stand for
    Child genitalia mutilation
    Killing babies
    Socialism/Communism
    Healthcare for illegals
    Leaving our veterans live on the streets................and a host of other things that are killing this country. ​

    You are foul to the core and I wish I never met you. Sometimes I wonder when I read your comments if you are this hateful, angry and spiteful sober what in the hell were you like when you were a drunk. Or maybe you are still a closet drinker, you sure don't speak or act like anyone who has truly worked the program as you say you did.

    As I said before If Harris wins I will still be poor, no big deal. If Trump wins I will be back to where I was when he was POTUS. More money in my pocket.

    I know how you cannot survive without trying to convince everyone on social media how smart you are, and your absolute desperate need to have the last word.

    The page is yours!

    You are correct. It’s time to investigate Jared and find all about that hedge fund he put together with Saudi money after he left the White House. Gee I bet tossing around Donnie’s name helped influence the deal. Then there are the “Peace Accords” he maneuvered. How can you have peace accords with countries you were not at war with? Those accords were mostly trade accords with airplane flight cooperation.

    Somewhere Hunter Biden is laughing his ass off because of the Special Prosecutor ruling from that dipshit judge in Florida. The whole case would have to be dropped if her ruling is upheld. So if President Harris appoints a Special Prosecutor that is approved by the Senate, does the government want to try him a third time? Bill, do you find it frightening that I have more experience in Federal Court than that stupid judge has on the bench? I know I do.

    Greg Gutfield is the result of Tucker Carlson and Jessie Watters having a learning impaired son. There is a reason he is on late night Fox, nobody watches him except the studio audience made up of Fox employees.

    Watched part of the Trumper’s press conference today, aside from the lying bullshit he was spewing, I could tell he is really scared of the Democrats. This guy wants three debates in September, why? Face it people won’t remember anything of them by the middle of October. Also, he will start throwing hissy fits over the rules, like cutting off his mic after time is up. Glad to see he has had a miraculous recovery from the gushing blood owie on his ear.

    Cannon is an interesting creature Dave, certainly in way over her head. Lot's to shake out as this moves forward.

    The question was posed, why did i return? As you may have noted, nary a post in the Sun City thread. I only came back because a poster started turning this site into a support trump shit show. She already does it on a local Facebook page with about 5 followers, so when she started here, i fired up the keyboard.

    That was last Sunday, 5 short days ago. In that time i never once attacked anyone posting on this site personally. I despise trump and all he stands for. I feel sorry for those who have bought into his con game. They are grown-ups and who they want to support is their choice, as it should be.

    We disagree on a lot but i always try and remain civil. I quit the site because i saw no upside in arguing with fellow Sun City residents. It wasn't until the trump crap started flowing that i began pushing back. There are volumes of trump's crazy statements that can be found with the click of the mouse. I don't have to make any of it up, it's all right there.

    There's statements from former cabinet members and staffers. Truth social posts and the jackpot of all are the daily press conferences during the pandemic. I haven't even begun to reach back into that treasure trove for his best hits. Then if we really want to get nasty, there's hundreds of videos from January 6. Each and every one of them reminders of trump's last days in office and how graciously he accepted defeat. And to be clear, he lost.

    My preference is to do none of it. Frankly after the latest rant, the ugly accusations of who and what i am (oh by the way, she posted it on the Facebook page), it would be better for everyone involved if it ended here. We're not going to change anyone's mind by what we post. To have anyone say the awful things posted above about those of us who are voting blue is just pitiful and pathetic. It is what it is.

    To be clear, i celebrate the Sun City way of life every day. I have no malice towards anyone. I dislike trump, immensely. After 48 years of sobriety i say thanks to my higher power every night when my head hits the pillow. I'm voting blue because i choose joy. Thanks to Harris and Walz for bringing it back.

    To further compound my doubts, i've been involved with a Facebook group, Sun City Chat Arizona for a couple of years now. The past year i've helped out as an administrator. I try to post at something at least daily, sometimes more. Mostly history, but also community events and stuff.

    This past weekend, i did something strange; i grabbed a screen shot of Mad's Alfred E Neumann (of "What Me Worry" fame) and asked the simple question about Sun City: Does Anyone Care? It was a test and honestly gang, most of you failed. I got 11 responses and even less likes. No, i don't care about likes, i care about whether the members of that site care enough to respond. Because if not, the paradigm shift is dead in the water.

    Nobody gives even one shit who you are; no one. Your self-inflated sense of worth is almost beyond comprehension. It's fine to love yourself, expecting others to when your whole purpose is to blow stuff up is crazy.

    BPearson, Jan 14, 2024

    Stop already Tom, go spew your bullshit on other sites where the crap has some crazy followers who want to eat your crap sandwiches. Sun City will be just fine long after you and i are both dead. Is there no level to the fear mongering by the right wing crazies? Why bother asking? Just go celebrate the hatred with Green, Santos, Beobert and that whole cast of nut jobs from Arizona.

    You know the answer to all of our problems already Tom...more freaking guns. See, problems solved.


    BPearson, Feb 23, 2023


    Bill, I am tiring of you standing in judgement of everyone else. Please express your opinions without trying to slight other people or claim the moral high ground. (Anyone familiar with organizational structure in non-profits...) And yes, I am acutely aware members of this board seek your advice on board matters. A fact I am not comfortable with, but it is what it is.

    So on to the subject at hand. I have had many meaningful conversations with highly respected members who held Board leadership positions and the conclusion we come to is this. This Board just needs to stop or be stopped before they do too much financial harm to the RCSC. No libraries, an indoor dog training facility and an orchestra pit show just how out of touch the board is with its members.

    John Fast, Apr 11, 2024Report

    My real angst comes from your hollier than thou attitude as you've thrown all kinds of their sins out and ignored your own. Sorry John, we all make them. As i watched you do this i felt compelled to share with the world yours, but for what purpose? You were in a position to make a difference and you elected to resign. Which by the way, is not by any means unusual.

    BPearson, Apr 11, 2024

    The later it gets in the evening, the more incoherent you become John. Wonder why? Oh wait, the stories are legendary about the late night missives that rambled on and on. Don't bother wasting your time responding John. I could care less about all of your legal training and the amazing things your body language coaches taught you. If you were half as good as you thought you were you would have stayed on the board and made a difference.

    You didn't. You "resigned." Please note how i acquiesced and used your terminology as opposed to mine. You're welcome.

    So very kind and civil. There is so much more but I am tired. How do you fit your shirt over your sweet angel wings.

    Who asked that? Another imaginary question/idea floating around in your head? Works with your idea of civility and lack of malice.

    There was ZERO reason to come back. This is posted in the NON-SUN CITY FORUM. Zip, Zero nothing to do with you or Sun City. You just have to be the big time bully on the playground and someone else was taking your place. Insecure much?

    Always fun to see partial quotes and not what led up to those responses. I've made no bones about it, i simply don't take crap from people. I could care less about responding to anything you posted that i have said. I simply don't care. I have no malice for you, as i said to you in one of my responses, no one gives two shits who you are, or for that matter, who i am or for that matter, what we post.

    I have never gone looking for fights, but when attacked i will push back. I left this site on counsel from my best friend who pointed out there was no upside in arguing with you. He was right, so when i came back i was pointed at trump et al and not you. But alas, as always you cast ugly stones and then whine about how people are mean to you.

    Here's one of the things i learned early in my sobriety, look in the mirror first, You've never ever done that, never taken responsibility or accountability for your actions. Not my job to point them out, though it sure sounds so much like your hero djt; it's always someone else's fault. Take ownership, it is amazing how that works/

    Curious, you said you were done and here you are. You said you blocked me and here you are. You want to keep slinging mud, knock yourself out, my focus will be trump and the material the man has provided me with can fill a 1000 pages.

    Your choice kiddo.

    To answer your question, in 1980 Hall and Davis got 43,871 thousand votes, but your rebuttal is a classic “Let’s change what we are discussing” tactic. Trump, according to you, tweeted, “This is the most Radical Left duo in American history. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again.” So I pointed out Hall and Davis. Clearly more radical that Harris and Walz. Your reply that they did not get many votes is irrelevant. Also, running for the Socialist Party in 1912 Eugene V. Debs and Emil Seidel got over 900,000 votes and they were clearly farther left that Harris and Walz. Unless you’d like a argue otherwise, of course.

    You really do not understand do you. You are not that bright at all. You only care about belittling people so you look big and tough. It has nothing to do with Trump. I am a Constitutional Conservative, period. It would not matter who the candidate was/is, but they must believe in the constitution and 2nd amendment and not allow children to be mutilated. 21 and want to slice your penis off? Fine with me. Leave the children alone.

    That moment when someone says, "I can't believe you would vote for Trump.”
    I simply reply, “I'm not voting for Trump.”
    I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech.
    I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.
    I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
    I’m voting for the continued growth of my retirement 401K and the stock market.
    I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.
    I'm voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.
    I'm voting for the Police to be respected once again and to ensure Law & Order.
    I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
    I’m voting for our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over again to China, Mexico and other foreign countries.
    I’m voting for secure borders and legal immigration.
    I'm voting for the Military & the Veterans who fought for this Country to give the American people their freedoms.
    I’m voting for continued peace progress in the Middle East.
    I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking.
    I'm voting for Freedom of Religion.
    I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored.
    I'm not just voting for one person, I'm voting for the future of my Country.
    I'm voting FOR MY CHILDREN AND MY GRANDCHILDREN to ensure their freedoms and their future.

    Interesting post on what your voting for. I didn’t realize that list was running under their own party banner, maybe I missed that on Newsmax. I know sure as hell you won’t find that on the Republican ticket with the Trumper and his increasingly weird news conferences from Mar-a-Lago or as I call it, Lois XIV’s wet dream. If you have been to Versailles you would understand. Again to paraphrase that great American philosopher, Yogi Berra, “You can’t force people not to be stupid if they don’t want to be.”

    1. Can't find where he said that
    2. He was not a great philosopher, just a great ball player.
    3. So sad people were actually making fun of him for his lack of grammar skills and education.
    4. Richie B. says:May 13, 2014, at 2:12 am Oh please. Celebrate baseball and celebrate the man if you must for his place in it… but to try and suggest the guy was a philosophical genius is ridiculous. He was an idiot. Of course you can make a case that the things he said made sense because you want them to make sense. Or in some ways some of what he said did… but the way he said them certainly did not. Let’s not mince words here. He was not a genius… and he certainly was not wise.

    What makes you and why do you speak like that? I understand pubescent boys speaking like that because they haven't reached adulthood yet and they think it's cool. But why a self proclaimed well educated historian? Does it make you feel good about yourself? Are you trying for "shock factor"? One thing for sure you make me appreciate my husband who is far too much of a man to speak like that. Granted I can't attest to how he spoke when on the golf course with the boys, but at business functions, at home, out at the local pub always a gentleman. Came from good family values. Also had MBA from Northwestern. Very smart, respectful, kind.

    I have not made this a "Trump shit show". You did. The only personal reference I made about Trump was that I didn't care for his rhetoric. Find more that pertain to him and good luck. Not a single reason for you to return to this site other than you wanted to. It bothers the heck out of you that you are not an admin on this site and you can't control/remove/ban people and yes you said that here. You also tout your ability to remove posts and ban people on SC Chat. You are the Nicolás Maduro of social media where you can be. You must like his politics and you probably will get them.

    I am sorry no one cares who you are, I don't care that you don't give a shit about me, however saying no one does is a blatant lie. I don't recommend it, but get really sick sometime and you will find out who your true friends are.

    This is a little odd coming from someone who posts so much scatological stuff, most recently, "Trading Biden for Harris is like crapping your pants and changing your shirt."

    Wow, just wow. I spent more than a dozen years on this site talking about Sun City issues. We stayed away from the politics of nasty, it simply served no purpose. On the rare occasion someone introduced a thread, we pushed back. There simply was no added value in trying to build a sense of community when it occurred. There's thousands of political sites out there to comment on. Sites that like and want that kind of acrimony, it draws eyes and clicks.

    Since you brought it up, let's be really straight-forward: You showed up here because you got booted by both Nextdoor and Sun City Chat. Neither solicit or allow the ugly political rhetoric. I was one of the admins on Chat and i did boot you for failing to follow groups rules. I no longer am, but the same rules still apply and crap posters are still being booted.

    You are right about this, there is no administration on here and oddly we all survived nicely without the current ugliness. That all came once you showed up. You came intent on proving to everyone you had been wronged. You weren't, the rules are for everyone. The Sun City Facebook group page you still post on allows the crap posts and for you to take screen shots from here and other sites and display them, along with other volatile crap. It's tacky, but it is what it is.

    The real tragedy of your behavior is your constant and incessant accusations of being wronged and how you never instigate anything. You are always just the poor victim. Death threats? Really? Hyperbole is your best asset and you're accusing others of what you are doing is both boring and tiring. You are the mirror image of the donald.

    As far as me starting this, take a look at the Non-Sun City Related Topics. You started the top 5 and all are of a political bent. Of course we all now know you love, love love triggering libs, so you tell me who started the shit show again? There's absolutely no upside to this pissing contest, at least for me. I've spent 21 years in this community trying to be a value added member. You on the other hand told us all you couldn't wait to leave it.

    I'll die here, contented with a life well lived in a community i (and most others) love. Hopefully you'll find that kind of contentment. The difference is, i'll have it no matter who is president. This election isn't life or death for me. The serenity prayer has been my guide since the day i sobered up, it still is. You should read it, it just might help.

    Sometimes you have to speak the language of the person you are responding to for them to understand. If you paid attention my signature changes regularly. Could not resist that one. It is mild compared to the way others speak here.

    Wow, just Wow! I guess you forgot about all the political trash you posted in 2016 and 2020 on the main Sun City Page, but then you would. Selective memory. You were the worst, but then you can post whatever you like and it's fine. Anyone disagrees and you trash them and when possible, delete and ban.

    One of the requirements of lying is a good memory. Here is a list of all the times you did not speak politics on the main page. The search was "Trump" posted by "BPearson" on the
    Sun City General Discussions page. Wonder what else is out there? Enjoy.
