Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The moments we have waited for are approaching, and as joyous as this is, I find it somewhat saddening. This country is more polarized than I have ever seen it, and even though it had to come to this, something deep inside tells me it didn't have to be this way. I have lost friends in the fight, and family members have eschewed my wife and I, but we are happy in our own little corner of Tennessee. From now on [as if I haven't been doing so already] I will look forward to the dawn of a New Republic, and maybe I will live long enough to see the pride come back to our nation.
I know what you mean about "moments we've been waiting for". I thought to myself the other day, Trump's speech on winning from 2016. He was right. There hasn't been much winning for us poor slobs taxed and worked to death...
And then we got RvW chucked... and this week, we got the debate... and presidential immunity, and the BIG ONE - Chevron Deference aka deep state bureaucracy chucked - and I realized - this is winning and "it feels good man"!!!
But I have to admit...it was a little weird - because we haven't won much in so long it was like some weird version of Stockholm syndrome or something, yanno? Like a part of me was waiting for the catch...the other shoe to drop or that damned Lucy to pull the ball at the last second...but no. This time it's for real.
