It was assigned to me years ago by Admin after an unintentional removal from the site after I posted a series of unusual music reviews which were so radical that M@x banned me after assuming my account had been hijacked.   I simply never corrected it.

At least for now all political threads are not being allowed due to complaints of abuse (personal attacks etc.). The rules are here. https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13083

Quote In my case, 'Pearland' is a fictitious location.
That's such a weird approach. You provide a fictional location on a forum, and then on the same forum you talk about "your country" and "your state" and expect people to take you seriously? Hahaha. That's just bonkers.

It's almost like you want to keep that "expert" mask online to make yourself seem smarter than in real life, right?

^ You keep wanting a fight, I'll keep giving one.   I like a good fight, and am more than happy to oblige you as long as you keep coming at me.   

I'm not in or from Texas, BTW.

Well, I'm from Wałbrzych, Dolnośląskie not from Pearland, Texas. Cultural differences, I guess. I do understand that some people want their favorite music forum to be a complete echo chamber of their own political views. But you gotta accept the fact you're not really entitled to get enraged and call people names when you find out it's not an echo chamber after all. ;) Cheers.

Yeah, why not beat him to the punch like you say. It won't happen though. He could now easily have his son Hunter exonerated but that won't happen either. Do you think if Trump was still president and Don Jr. or Eric was in Hunter's shoes the outcome would be the same? Ok, maybe for Eric.LOL

It seems obvious to me looking at the state of the world, the problems that having a megalomaniac in power creates.

Now it seems that the US is also intent on installing its own megalomaniac into power:

Deep inside, I really hope that Achron guy is really just trolling/ragebaiting. Being angry at one country's fate is NOT AN EXCUSE to be a rude prick, right, guys?

Acting like a jerk towards innocent users because SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED made you angry is a very cheap move if you ask me.

He wields some influence obviously.

Also…

Some research says that Biden Cannot be Replaced on Ballot in Three Swing States, GA, NV, and WI, Except for Death (Wisconsin) or 25th Amendment.

According to the 25 amendment it has to be brought up by the VP cabinet secretaries.
If successful th the VP becomes President.



I did not know that Biden could not be replaced in GA, NV, and WI.  It's somehow reassuring to know that different states have different rules.Wink

This ain't no popularity contest.   We're talking about the future of my country.   So take your spineless, useless commentary and shove it.

More likeable--?   No?   I'm crushed.

Oh shoot! Haha. Silly me! It's "achron" not "archon". For some reason I can't get that out of my head:
