Finland is ranked as the Happiest Countries in the World by the UN-sponsored World Happiness Report, holding the top spot for multiple consecutive years.

Why Finland Ranks High

• • Life Evaluation: The ranking measures overall life satisfaction and contentment, rather than daily bursts of joy or constant smiling.
  • Social Trust: Citizens experience a high-trust society where they rely on public institutions and believe strangers are honest.
  • Welfare Systems: Strong social safety nets, free education, and universal healthcare reduce everyday financial stress.
  • Access to Nature: Ample green spaces and outdoor access support personal well-being. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Well that was definately an interseting read, but what am I missing?
We all know Ohio was not happy with the election, but Kerry had nothing to do with it.

Where in that text does Kerry actually contest the results?

If you go back and read my post again, you will see that I didn't say Kerry himself contested the results. I said "Democrats." To be fair, I did say "remember Kerry." I can see where you could interpret that as my saying that Kerry contested the results. Kerry, in fact, stepped aside gracefully. The Democrats didn't. They pitched a btch fit over it, even though he accepted the loss.

tRump, in a fit of lying the other day about his budget deficit, blamed the dispersal of covid stimulus checks entirely on Joe Biden. When I know for a fact that the first round of checks was dispersed by him. Reason being? Well, he absolutely, positively, had to have his signature on them.
So, do you think our "Commander in-Competent" has "BDS" (Biden Derangement Syndrome)? He's already made it patently obvious he has. "ODS" (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

LoL!
Not going to disagree with you on that.

 

[bigreddyde]

Oh wait. Ok, I'm still waiting for an answer. Cause it ain't in that text that I can tell.
Oh wait. Did the MAGA lie to make a false point? That's very out of character for them. Huh?

Then you misunderstood the point that I was making.

 

[captaincranky]

Then you misunderstood the point that I was making.

Well, you've managed to conflate any disagreement with election results by the Democrats, with a lying psychopath whipping his followers into a frenzy, having them storm the Capitol, sh!t on the floors, kill two Policemen, and erect a gallows to hang the VP, Mike Pence to prevent him certifying Biden as president.

We've had to "overlook" Diaper Don's phone call asking a state governor to "find 11,000 votes for him".

We've had to endure 4 years of the turdster whimpering and whining the "2020 election was, "rigged". The scary part is, he believes it himself. Not because there's any truth to it, but because he's a pathological liar.

We've had to endure some mutt turn the White House into a gold plated kennel of his own fantasies.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, "His Psychopathy", has never truly won an election. Hillary Clinton beat him in the popular vote. This time around ho got less than 50% of the popular vote. If the Electoral College had actually done its assigned job, which is to install a buffer between an election's result, and a major voting mistake by the populace, his, "highkneeness", would be in jail, not in the White House.

I actually voted AGAINST Hillary Clinton in 2016. When I saw the first press conference, with some a**hole proclaiming every question as "fake news", I immediately realized what an enormous blunder I had made..

So, for this entire thread you've been trying to turn Poopie Pants' "disagreement" with the 2020 election results, with the Democrats' settling the issue civilly in a court of law into, "a distinction without a difference". Sorry, it just ain't gonna happen, no matter how many posts it takes, or until the thread is locked, whichever comes first.

@scavengerspc As I watch OTA TV, I've had to endure the typical mudslinging campaign ads by both parties. I've come to the conclusion that politicians are all crooked liars. As a result, I'm going to vote on something as simple as a "change of color, from red to blue", as to who's running the madhouse.

I think we need another, "no kings rally": before the midterms". Unfortunately, I suck at organizing such things, as I have my own APD to contend with.

Well ok then. If I missed that, and I believe you when you say I did, I honestly apologize.

I'm not fully sure that page after page of trying to interpret a somewhat obscure, Democratic election dispute, versus turning a day long Capitol attack and riot, combined with listening to four yours of some a**hole whining about "having the election stolen", warrants an apology. Along with a thread long attempt by, @bigreddyde to turn the two disparate events into, "a distinction without a difference", warrants an apology either. But, you gotta do you.

Cheers..!

I did nothing of the sort. YOU are the one who is so fkn obsessed with Donny boy that YOU have to make everything about him. I said that Democrats are just as bad as Republicans when it comes to denying election results. Truth be told, until our most recent commander in beef, they were FAR worse... I am done with you...

No need to apologize. I probably could have done a better job of making my point clear.

Well numerically, perhaps you're correct. In severity, there's simply no comparison. Perhaps the results of this election should have been contested as well. After all, Faux News paid 3/4 of a billion dollar settlement for lying about voting machine integrity in the 2020 election.

Musk managed to coerce the "turd in charge", into office. With the technical empire he has at his disposal, perhaps the Dems should have contested the 2024 election more vigorously.

IMO, comparing Democrats' contesting elections with an attack on the Capitol and 4 years, now 6 years, of railing the 2020 election was rigged, is a >STRAW MAN< argument, plain and simple.

As for you being "done with me", pick one:
A: So f***ing what
B: Oh goody, now I don't have to type as much.
C: Both of the above.

To the best of my knowledge, the office of the presidency has an obligation to "serve all the people", not just red hatted cult members, along with KKK members and Proud Boys turned ICE agents.

Trust me, I know what Diaper Don will do before 90+ percent of the public does. Reason being, I'm a massively overindulged only child, that suffers an almost complete lack of empathy for other humans. In other words, "it takes a sociopath to know one".

I can give the benefit of the doubt with zero belief in someone's underlying message.
I absolutely still disagree 100% that the left has been worse at voter fraud, and there is ZERO proof to back it up.

I think it comes from the right-wing media constant lies and scare tactics to its own people.
Let's review some of the hits.

"Paying immigrants to come here" Bullshit. The only payout for immigrants is, TA-DA! Homeland Security offers financial assistance and free flight home for undocumented that self deport.

"Democrats are going to take your guns away" 80 years since it began. Bullshit.
Dems have never even tried, but Donnie banned bump stocks.

"Stolen 2020 election" (Everyone stop laughing) Bullshit.
As debunked in a couple hundred ways. Just another MAGA fantasy world.

"Tax cuts mostly benefit lower classes and do not drive debt" Bullshit.
The Congressional Budget Office always found big right wing tax legislation greatly benefits the upper income people and businesses alike while massively boosting the federal deficit.
And seriously, we knew "trickle down" was just more right wing garbage since the 80s.

I have much more!

As do we all..!

I used to believe that the "off" and "sleep" buttons on these cheap Micro Center keyboards I use, were a "boon". As this is a complete retype after dropping a vape mod on the off button, I've come to the conclusion that they're more of a bane. Now, back to something remotely related to the topic:

With regard to the, "subtle art of internet trolling", there's one technique that stands out as particularly effective. That's taking both sides of an argument. (Sorry, I meant "discussion/") That way, you're always right, and the other party is always wrong, or at least forced to defend or regret their position.

Moving on to off topic again, I'm banned from "AGF" (Acoustic Guitar Forum), for life, largely on the perception of my screen name's implications.I have no problem with not participating there. People ask questions for the sake of asking questions. Basically, people longing for attention post the most inane queries.

What finalized my ban, (something the mods were literally chaffing at the bit to do), was my answer to this little "gem". "What's your favorite instrument?" I replied, "the Aeolian Skinner pipe organ". Strike three, you're outta here.

FWIW, "strike two" was, after listening through yet another acoustic interpretation of "Stairway to Heaven", I mentioned something about the individual's rendering of the outro chords. I stated that Mr. Page doesn't stop dead on each chord, (Am, G, F, (Frets 5 > 3 >1)), but rather simply clamps the barre on at the beat, while continuously muted rhythm -strumming through the sequence. Apparently, that was a completely unwelcome statement of unvarnished fact.

In any event, I too have developed the (ostensibly) same bad habit of reading, "through", scre-en names as well, in an attempt to form an opinion of the individual's character beneath it.

When you post something, you should add a disclaimer informing the reader you're using your own definitions of the commonly accepted terms.

Well what do you know, former president Harry Truman knows even less how "Socialism" is used in today's context. It's a damned crying shame you weren't around in 1952 to straighten him out either..

I wouldn't argue against any of this. What you've said here is pretty much on the money. Despite what some may think, I am not a Republican, not a Trump supporter. I am also not a Democrat. My "opinion" is that they are ALL liars and crooks.... ALL...
they all contest election results. They all manipulate the voters. They all deceive. I don't like ANY of them.

All of that is very true. However, "independents", sometimes feel they're justified in voting for 3rd party candidates.

That's not the way to protest, nor is staying home. Elections in the US are determined by who most people vote against, not who they vote for.

Which is why R.F.K Jr. stayed on the ballot. He siphoned enough votes away from Kamela Harris, to allow tRump to sneak in with less than 50% of the popular voter. Strangely enough, he wound up as the completely unqualified secretary of HHS.

As for our now, "commander in-continent", somebody hand that man-boy a fiddle, I think I smell smoke. Seriously, the piece of crap we accidentally elected president, has, long ago, crossed the Rubicon.

In any case, it is imperative that the House of Representatives turns blue come November. As it stands, nothing has been accomplished in session of congress. At least with a Democratic house, formulating, negotiating, and arguing about articles of impeachment, can cripple the rest of poopie pants' term.

The bitter irony of politics, is that decent people become corrupted after getting involved in it, and truly decent people wouldn't touch running for office with a ten foot pole. Verily, politicians versus common citizens, is a predator versus prey dynamic.

I have to go now. I'm late for my daily "erotic art fix". I wonder if I can use AI to visualize today's fantasy, Hakeem Jeffries bending little Mikey Johnson over a railing in the House chamber, with Mikey bleating like a lost lamb.
