8. Hi

I was upset when the supreme court handed the keys to the White House to GWB in 2000 hence 8643.
I joined DU initially around late 2001 or 2002 DU was very new. I thought of using NIX_47 as my new ID as NIX means the same thing as 86.

Acting AG big-T little-Odd B know very well what 86 means he's just playing ignorant which seems to be naturally easy for members of this administration.

And then there is the enemies list.
But I'm preaching to the choir.

Thanks again snowybirdie

I really thought Obama was an indication that better times were ahead, I was so proud of my country.
That very night Mitch McConnell swore that Obama would be a one term president. Thats when the GOP offically embraced full-on hate. IMHO of course.

Skittles, I remember you!

It's nice to be back

You can understand I was excited to return right? And you were able to construe when I left even though I had the length of time incorrect.
But you Are the first one to correct me, that makes you special, stick around I always have misspellings you can correct.
Thanks Again

Don't worry about typo's, we all make them.


There was someone here that liked to correct my grammar. The same person made an abundance of spelling mistakes themselves and I take screenshots of it, just in case they want to make an issue out of my mistakes. lol
