Deficit Soars

@wallstreetcappers

 I really do think you have reading comprehension issues.  I clearly outlined the subjective nature of my comment and my definition of the use of the term.  

"Fupah won't answer you" LMAO really ??  Never realized that after the past four years.  I know that, I don't ask to converse with him, I don't pose any question to him.  Again, if someone makes a completely asinine comment I can call it out as I see fit, while following the rules & guidelines of this site.  

I "replied" to him because I am highlighting his comment.  You know, the really intelligent analogy that uses the death of 6mm Jewish individuals to compare the potential prosecution of some scum bag politicians.  Ya know, that one.  

This is representative of the gaslighting the left employs. When they are wrong, they tell you it's actually you that is wrong. You just don't realize it. When you offer proof bolstering your opinion, they discount said proof without offerering any countering evidence of their own. They will literally tell you what your own opinions are. Your own feelings. If you say you don't find Kamala Harris fit for office, they'll tell you you're actually racist and/or sexist. If you say you prefer Trump over the Democratic nominee, they'll say that you're "in a cult" and probably stormed the Capitol. Correct their misuse of a phrase and they'll tell you you simply are unfamiliar with their use, even though their use of said phrase literally doesn't exist anywhere in recorded history. And I didn't even check. I didn't "Google" it. I wouldn't waste my time. I know good and well it doesn't exist. That you are simply mispronouncing au contraire, mon frère, a French phrase that has been a part of everyday English parlance for longer than I have been alive.

@wallstreetcappers

 Yep.  I don't know it and neither do you.  It is imaginary.  Or you could simply provide it.  But that is fine with me.

You just coined it.  We can add it to the Covers esoteric jargon now.

@wallstreetcappers

 So you are admitting you were wrong to say I insult Mid ??  

Come on, just this one time.... it is OK to admit one's mistakes.  We all make them..... 

@Raiders22

 Just move on already...stop hen pecking a topic and trying to force your perspective.

Move forward please and knock off the jabs, I am not doing this to you and for the last time end this nonsense and do something else.

@kcblitzkrieg

 How can I reply to that when you are a different person than I am? You consider calling me a bleeding heart mod to be carefully considered words and to me that is no further from the truth. You consider taking someones message and crafting a narrative as conversation. I do not share your view of what is reasonable and considerate. I do not share your view on how you have interacted with him or really ANY member who does not share your political views. I think you try to bully members as a way to try and get what you want, look at this very thread right here...you and several others have tried to bully me about two topics to get what you want rather than be considerate and try to avoid conflict.

I think midnight puts up with plenty from you AND several others that he really does not need to or deserve to because several of you use these bully strategies to intimidate and antagonize others.

I kinda think you already know this, it isnt the first time we have discussed the topic.

I would ask for you to not engage with members who are actually intentionally avoiding you especially when your replies are made to cause conflict and provoke. Your reply served no purpose for conversation with that member and you are completely taking his words out of context and exaggerating what he said/says to try and craft a narrative.

Notice that I did not say any digs in this reply regarding your lacking reading comprehension, I see no reason to personally insult your intelligence in order to try and gain an advantage in a topical discussion. 

I fully get his reference point and why he uses certain correlative examples, I think you do as well and since he is not MEMBER TO MEMBER attacking you the best thing for you is to stop interacting with him or them. 

@kcblitzkrieg

Cool.  Just hope you took my reply to you as a simple joke about it as well.  All good

I jump into this thread and simply asked if WSC was aware of the error in his wording and his response was to call me "chirpy chirp". This same person, in this same thread, accuses others of insulting and being combative. I'm done on the subject. I'm not going to keep beating a dead horse.

Holy shit did this thread go down the crapper in a hurry.

Just got home from Christmas shopping. There are some beautiful people out there. Nice, real nice.

So I go out to the patio to cap tomorrow's ponies but thought let me drop by the penal colony & 20 minutes later hear I am.

To set the record straight, kc & I are good & have never been bad in my memory. He'll serve something up & I'll return the serve. When it's over we shake hands at the net. There are others here I try to avoid. 

Now everybody take a chill pill, pour your favorite adult beverage & give your honey a kiss on the neck.  They'll enjoy it & so will you. 

Was that so hard??

 That fact you think this way about laying traps and then demand conversation and answers in other threads, take me off your interaction list.

But first your words in my thread:

"You made the thread so you explain yourself when the thread you made elicits responses and questions. So can you answer the question and if not why make the thread at all?"

You made the reference so explain yourself when the reference elicits responses and questions.  Can you even explain your reference and if not why even make a reference at all?

My bro's always the voice of reason. I'm in California so i'll have to postpone that kiss but I did drop of gifts and play trains with twin two year olds. They're technically jewish but they still get to celebrate Christmas.

Do you guys realize Hanukkah starts on Christmas this year? I never remember it starting this late. We can't have anything. 

@StumpTownStu

 Not ready for Christmas which is also my birthday.

Thanksgiving came real late this year & Christmas snuck up on me.

Just did a nice bowl, watched Gold Rush with my bride & reread my post.

I know it's "here" & it's not "hear." I also realized this thread is in the Politics forum not the Penalty Box.

Mind & fingers not always in sync.

@Midnight1

 Happy birthday 

Oh my God, I forgot your Bday was on Christmas. Yeah, late Thanksgiving was crazy. I went to get the tree right after. There are Christmas tree farms everywhere out there. Ended up with a Nordmann again. Beautiful trees but they don't smell. I need that smell. This thing isn't drinking much either. So it goes. One of these years I would like a blue spruce. No farms grow them around here. It's not like other places where the trees are coming from out of state. I live in a tree producing state.

How are you doing for gifts for the lady? It's hard to come up with stuff after so many years. I've hot nothing but stuff she's asked for specifically.

@Midnight1

 You're from New York, so you can appreciate this. With Hanukkah starting on Christmas, what's that do to the Chinese restaurants?
