Every day. With a litany of lies, bulls##t and scapegoating. If he took his "war" seriously instead of an opportunity to pander to his base. Perhaps those that hate him would take a day off. Instead he supplies more and more ammunition. If you've ever gone to a gun range and there is free guns, free ammo. You're not likely to walk away till its all gone.

You just admitted to Billvon that you're intentionally biased in every response you make to someone you perceive as further left than you, yet elsewhere you keep insisting you're the only person who tries to eliminate their bias in how they post.

It is a provable fact that you read and responded to the ‘every’ part of Kallend’s original question, yet because you are now pretending it doesn’t exist your replies are all irrelevant nonsense. So why not stop trolling and be serious? Edited April 16, 2020 by jakee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know this. Turtle - before you disappear completely into the fog of your own smug condescencion and dishonesty lets just recap the solid facts. This is the direct line of your conversation with Kallend. It is a completely linear procession of post and response with no outside intervention or deviation. Kallend: I can only think of one person who fits every category I mentioned. You: Yes, yes, yes, we all know that Trump is all you can think of. Kallend: Suggest another. You: [Corruption Index] Take your pick Kallend: What part of "every" is it that you find hard to comprehend? You: In reference to what? You asked for another example.

You see how weak, transparent and utterly pointless it is for you to keep insisting that you're the only one genuinely responding to what was said? Do you think you could for at least this one time stop lying, stop trolling, stop picking stupid fights for no reason and just give an honest answer to an honest question like a normal grownup person? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question still stands, if it's shame on the Dems for not doing it again in that intervening time period, why is it not shame on the Reps for never doing it before then? And not that it's a competition but when this election runs through the Dems will be up 2-1 for Veep candidates and 1-0 for Pres, so again it's an odd direction to be throwing the only shame. Turtle admits he'll just post against the left no matter what, but what's your excuse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
