Which is dumb because she didn't look at the context. Again, it's ironic that she couldn't bother. (/s)



I don't come here because I'm upset, lol.

I will concede that I sometimes write sloppily for a variety of reasons, but there has been no miscommunication.
What the f$%k you talking about?
you stopped making sense like 10 post ago...

You didn't give any context to look at.

Also, the extent to which you double down, project, and throw insults all while arguing in defense of a (soon to be former) president who does the very same indicates that you are quite upset.

Finally, saying there has been "no miscommunication" is just obviously wrong. You do realize that communication requires at least two people, yes? Because you have repeatedly failed to make your meaning clear, and then acted confused and hostile when other people haven't deciphered what you were thinking.

Then where did you get this idea that I misquoted someone from? It was taken from somewhere.

Where did that happen? Context please.

Your intention is clear and my intention was clear. We aren't going to agree.

When you quoted the first sentence of a post while leaving the rest out, changing its meaning. In other words, the thing I first responded to you about.

Just about every single thing you've posted ever would probably qualify, but for a fairly recent example:

Don't be a coward. The question is: how does @AmandaRose 's stupid quote read when posted in response to that other thing you described?

You guys want to "wah wah" all the time and not be accountable for your own actions.


I've not done that either.

Everything you've written is recorded here, so even though you apparently have the memory of a goldfish, pretending that haven't been making a fool of yourself for what appears to be literal weeks on end isn't going to work either.

Yes. And the fact that it was presented as a response to something specific is the context, which you decided to reject.

False.

That has nothing to do with the president. Being a coward your perogative. Amanda saying stupid things and being a hypocrite is her perogative. So if those things are insulting to you, then maybe you would consider the behaviors, themselves, to be the infractions.

Universal Health Care is terrible especially here in Scotland where absolutely everything is 100% free.

I think the person you were quoting is exceptionally out of their depth when it comes to the relevant knowledge of [...] economics

Honesty would look good on you, imo.

Donald trumps highest approval rating EVER was 49% (2020-01-29, 2020-02-16, 2020-03-22, 2020-04-28, 2020-05-13).

Joe Biden has a higher approval rating than trump ever did, without even being sworn in yet.
I think even a pet rock could get 52%. It's like I was telling tabzer previously, Trump never had the consent of the governed to begin with, or throughout his entire presidency.

He couldn't be bought.
By big poor? Because he stole their tax dollars and continues to grift his supporters of donation money to "stop the steal," aka "pay for my future personal defense fund." And big rich gave him plenty of money to gut regulations, allow more drilling for oil on federal lands, etc and so forth x1000. But by the third or fourth year of his presidency, even some of them were starting to hate him.

I guess he had the consent of enough people in the right places, and the American government-but only about %28 of eligible voters. Apparently 10 million more people voted this year, and he gained votes... so take whatever you will from that.

Because he stole their tax dollars

How did he steal tax dollars?

Hmm, that sounds very familiar..... where did I hear that from before????

Oh yeah:

Bernie Sanders Raised $16 Million From the Unemployed

I guess Bernie supporters were giving him their unemployment checks in the hopes he would give them "free" money. Whatever happened to all that donation money? Did it go to buy his 4th home? No, the "payoff money" from the DNC to quit running paid for that.

He overcharged secret service at his hotels and properties, for entrance, for food and drinks, for everything. Congress had to pass a funding extension for the secret service in Trump's first two years IIRC. His inaugural committee alone stole $1 million for him and Ivanka. There's more, but I'd have to dig it up and I don't feel like it right now.

(Oh, the wall of course, of which he built two new miles and pocketed the rest of the emergency use authorization money.)

Whatever happened to all that donation money?
What wasn't spent on the campaign was donated to charity, and then he did several charity fundraisers even after he was out of the race. Only "charity" Trump would do that for is the Trump foundation, which was shut down for fraud. Hell, Trump Jr. used it to steal from children with cancer. Not a great look.

I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Oh, btw, did you know that the 2020 election is a complete scam?

Any sources to back that up?

Also, I keep getting your Leaders mixed up as you are all commies. I guess we are talking about Biden here:
Biden asks for money for presidential transition, told to go to OnlyFans instead

Asking for donations to cheat and steal this election wasn't enough, he had to ask his sheep (or uninformed voters as they're usually called) to tighten their belts more to pay for transition money during a pandemic when Pedocrat states/cities are forcing small businesses to stay closed when there is already a transition fund, but greedy people are also very impatient (well, considering Biden is on borrowed time, I guess I can understand a little).

intentionally dragging the Secret service and others to his properties, and charged more than the normal rate while he did it?

trump has a history of grifting with charities.

https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/201...ed-2-million-illegally-using-trump-foundation

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ald-trump-bought-with-20000-from-his-charity/

"The Washington Post has reported other instances in which Trump may have violated those rules. He used $258,000 from the foundation to pay off legal settlements that involved his for-profit businesses. He spent $12,000 from the charity's coffers to buy a football helmet signed by then-Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.


And he spent $10,000 to buy another portrait of himself in 2014. In that case, Trump paid $10,000 for the portrait. It was later found hanging on the wall of a sports bar at Trump's Doral golf resort. A spokesman for Trump, Boris Epshteyn, said later that Trump's business was actually just "storing" the portrait, on the charity's behalf. Tax experts said that does not cut it."

Spending tax dollars on stupid shit should be infuriating. But considering that politicians (both those elected and not elected) have been spending so much more, for so long, doesn't it make his behavior to look like trolling? Trump spends $10,000K on a portrait of himself and "donate" it to a sportsbar. It really seems like he is making fun of the political establishment. I suppose that it is possible that he feels like that's all he can get away with. But why? Because he's narcissistic and poor, but more importantly narcissistic?

Regarding the Cancer charity there is this: there is more evidence of a fraud election occurring in 2020. What's the standard of proof here? I'm not saying that it's impossible that he did it. He may have. But what's more important at this point? Is there evidence of a fraud election, or is there not? Can we apply this same logic to these articles that have even more ambiguous sources of evidence? It just seems like Trump would turn into such a great guy if the evidence was equally evaluated across the spectrum.

If evidence was equally evaluated the new narrative would shift into,"Trump is great, but we just (really really) prefer Biden".

That starts to become tricky, you need to have people on the ground in a lot of places in the US. Those people would be evidence.
Yes, that's tricky but not impossible. Air gaping these machines and blocking all their USB ports should be good enough.
