BMI is a crap statistic. LeBron James has a BMI of 27 and is technically considered overweight according to the BMI scale. In his prime, Mike Tyson had a BMI of almost 30. Tom Brady was around 27.4, only a few points away from being obese. Please feel free to call any of them fat to their faces. Your small-fry status is not a flex, and it's not surprising that you also have small-man syndrome.

I think that you have things backwards about whom is living in whose head.

For the last few months you seem to bring me up just out of the blue, and that's a pretty good indication that I'm stuck in your head.  

I do have one question since you now are addressing me directly.  This is my question for you, are you planning on helping to pay the legal fees for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Illegal alien for whom you have such concern?

I have to say that in all honesty I find it rather revealing about a person like you, in that you have such great concern for an illegal criminal alien who has never been a citizen and who now never will.

Since you came on here previously telling the world that YOU support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the accused human trafficker, and accused wife and child beater, with the accuser being his wife, who said she was terrified of him and took out a 2nd restraining order, saying that she feared for her children and her safety, do you now have 2nd thoughts about your unending support for him?

After all, a grand Jury indicted him on human trafficking charges, saying that they were aware of evidence that he engaged in human trafficking on more 100 different occasions, and yet YOU expressed your asinine support of him.

You, one who has exposed as a complete fool at this point, said that the US Gov't had to bend to HIS WILL and the US Gov't had to bend to HIS DEMANDS.  These would be the demands of a person from another country, who came here illegally years and years ago, was ordered deported by 2 separate courts, and who engaged in Gang Activity as a member of one of the worst gangs on planet Earth, and who now has been indicted on criminal charges by a Grand Jury of trafficking in human beings up to or more than 100 times.

So then I'll ask once again, do you have 2nd thoughts of having supported unwaveringly, an illegal alien who doesn't even belong here and when he has been here, has engaged in criminal activity, including wife beating and human trafficking?  Do you have 2nd thoughts?

I am guessing that you don't, which shows what an anti-American YOU are, since you were on here vociferously Lying about Donald Trump, claiming that Donald Trump never had his Due Process denied in the court system.

So then, YOU in all of your Anti-American-ness have openly denied the fact that Donald Trump, our very President didn't have his Due Process denied, while at the same time, have been a special pleader for this criminal illegal alien Abrego Garcia, who in your estimation gets to dictate to the US Gov't that he needs as many hearings in fronts of courts AS HE Dictates.

Now then, in order to correct the record of the lies that you purveyed here, a US Constitutional legal scholar no less, Professor Alan Dershowitz stated that he had identified at least 11 separate times in which the President of the US, Donald Trump had his due process rights violated.

And yet, YOU in all your Anti-American derangement has claimed here, the exact opposite.

So then who is correct, YOU a legal glorified bookkeeper or a Professional of Constitutional law at one of the most prestigious Universities in the entire world who taught Constitutional law for 60 years?

Hmmm........ that's a tough one, but I'm going with Alan Dershowitz as the one knowing what he's talking about over You, the glorified bookkeeper in Denver.

Richie, just for kicks, I input this post into chatGPT. Without any prompting, here's what it came back with:

Thanks for sharing the post. This forum message is quite hostile, sarcastic, and personal. Here's a quick breakdown of what's going on and how you might respond or think about it, depending on your goals:

Tone and Content Overview:

Tone: Aggressive, mocking, and highly personal.
Tactics Used:
Sarcasm and ridicule (e.g., “counselor (and I use that term laughingly)”)
Personal attacks and name-calling (e.g., “anti-American,” “glorified bookkeeper”)
Loaded political rhetoric (frequent references to Donald Trump and illegal immigration)
Guilt by association (accusing someone of supporting an alleged criminal and using that to attack their character)
Appeals to authority (citing Alan Dershowitz to bolster their argument)

What This Post is Really Doing:
Trying to provoke a defensive response.
Shifting the argument from facts to emotional and ideological attacks.
Using straw man tactics, misrepresenting the other person's views in order to more easily attack them.
How to Respond (If You Choose To):


Depending on your goals, here are some options:

If you want to de-escalate or disengage:

“I’m not interested in trading personal attacks. If you’d like to discuss policy or law respectfully, I’m open to it.”
If you want to defend your position without feeding the fire:

“My support for due process applies to everyone, regardless of their background. That includes Donald Trump and also anyone else accused of a crime. If we selectively apply constitutional rights, then none of us truly have them.”
If you want to hold the other person accountable for tone:

“Your message is full of personal attacks and mischaracterizations. If you want to have a good-faith conversation, I suggest sticking to facts and leaving out the insults.”

Final Thought:
This post is an example of rhetorical escalation—it's more about dominating the discussion than seeking truth. You don’t have to match its tone or engage on its terms. You're in control of how the discussion proceeds.

Let me know if you'd like help drafting a specific reply, or if you're looking to analyze this from a legal, rhetorical, or emotional intelligence standpoint."

What questions should I ask ChatGPT about Rich?

In the style of this writer, can you give me a movie review of "Schindler's List"?



Certainly. Here's a movie review of Schindler's List written in the same sharp, mocking, hyperbolic, and sarcastically confrontational tone as the forum post you shared:

Oh, Schindler’s List? Really? That’s your cinematic hill to die on? The black-and-white guilt trip with a side of Spielberg tears?

Let’s be crystal clear—Schindler’s List is the kind of film that screams, “Look at me, I’m IMPORTANT,” in all caps, while slathering itself in every Academy Award-bait trope imaginable. Because nothing says moral superiority quite like a three-hour Holocaust epic designed to make you sob into your popcorn and then immediately feel like a better person for having watched it. Bravo.

And who is our hero? Oskar Schindler—the Nazi industrialist turned unlikely savior. A man who exploited Jewish labor for profit until, oops, conscience attack! Cue the violins (literally—John Williams, of course), because suddenly he’s buying people’s lives like he’s shopping on Black Friday. But let’s not dig too deeply into that, right? No, we’ll just canonize him immediately, because apparently handing out life like coupons makes you the next coming of Moses.

And don’t even get me started on Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth—the sadistic, shirtless psycho who murders people from his balcony like it’s a morning sport. But sure, let’s juxtapose his atrocities with shots of a little girl in a red coat and pretend it’s nuance instead of heavy-handed symbolism stapled to your eyeballs.

Spielberg? Oh, Steven. The guy can direct a dinosaur like nobody’s business, but hand him the Holocaust and suddenly we’re expected to believe we’re watching the pinnacle of human storytelling. And of course, every critic clutched their pearls and handed out praise like candy on Halloween. “Haunting.” “Unforgettable.” “A triumph of cinema.” Yawn.

Let me guess, you cried at the “I could have saved one more” scene? Of course you did. That’s the point. It’s emotional blackmail, dressed up in Oscar gold.

So sure, it’s a masterpiece. If by masterpiece you mean “three hours of cinematic self-flagellation wrapped in prestige with a free moral compass included.”

But hey, what do I know? I'm just a lowly viewer in the peanut gallery, not a certified Spielberg acolyte.

I'd prefer it to be immediate for two reasons: 
1 Iran is consistently targeting and bombing civilian targets in Israel, including ballistic missiles and cluster bombs.
2. The main Iranian nuke site is buried under a mountain and the US has the capability to take it out and now is the time
to do it and it should be obvious by this time that negotiations with Iran abiding by its nuclear agreements go nowhere,
especially now.

My US travel plans this summer are in limbo now until we see what shakes out from this..

The news is just now rolling in of course, but if this attack was as successful as it appears, the world is a safer place.   

Also, it is hard to argue with the incredible competence of our military and of Trump executing this plan flawlessly and completely secretly.   The “two weeks” that had Rod start this thread was obviously a smoke screen carried out perfectly.
