You can feel what you feel, but you have no right to insult.

If you are living a life consumed by anger, I feel sorry for you and I hope you get the help you need.

He has every right to insult, you twat. You may dispute the call to insult, but the right to insult is pretty well established, especially when the insult is well earned, dingleberry.

Ye shall reap what ye shall sow.

There is no right to insult.

You are confused, and are showing no real understanding of what it means to entertain a different point of view than your own, without taking personal offense. So you feel justified to go to the gutter.

It's extremely immature to be so quick to embrace your own ego in order to throw yet another adolescent snit, but especially when you do it in order to defend another's illegitimacy; it's exactly what TRUMP does.

You're really no different than who you profess to loathe.

And typical of many who reside on the extreme ends of the political spectra.

I’ll insult you when I feel like it.

 

Then you will earn the retribution you deserve, Lawrence of (ironically) Amity.

Uno, I have deep sympathy for you, child. I sincerely believe that if you start working you can get somewhere.

This might be related to America’s growing understanding that republicans are terrible for the economy.

“This is a good shorting spot.

In fact, we fell yet another 1,800 point to 21,600 just recently but it was an overshoot and we quickly took back the strong retrace and the weak retrace and now we're back at 27,000 but the real question is – where should we be? 

Let's consider that 18,000 was a realistic base.  The economy was going well under Obama, America was at full employment and a respected World leader and the deficit was getting under control – all good things that help a market stay strong.  The Dollar was strong too, it was at 102 in 2017 and Americans enjoyed great buying power and my kids loved going to the Dollar store to get knick knacks. 

Trump took office in January of 2017 and he cut taxes drastically for Corporations and people in the Top 1% and the Dollar dove all the way to 0.88 a year later, a 14% collapse that we've only recovered half of 2.5 years later.  Losing 7% of the buying power on every penny you've saved your entire life is a devastating shock to the average American, who was not able to offset the loss of buying power through their stock market gains. 

Still the weak Dollar is also good for our Corporate Citizens (thanks Citizens United!) as well as for the Top 1%, whose stock prices were jacked up by the weak dollar which, of course, makes our exports cheaper too.  This is how we make America Great, by devaluing our currency, running up the deficit and putting profits over people time and time again.  Surely that's worth a 20% boost in the Dow, isn't it?”

Seriously...

Fuck this guy.

Yeah - I think Barr is wrong

None of this current stuff is about George Floyd - or any man killed by police action.

It's not about any specific individual killed by police action.

It is about many people killed by police action.

It is about systemic racism.

It is about abuse of power.

Nice rant, and very well on track for criticizing Trump.

Still, it is unrelated to being able to handle someone disagreeing with you, which is what the topic was.

And FTR, if you read my posts, you'd see that I am not your enemy. I may not be your best friend, but I am not your enemy.

But AOC swiftly indicated on Twitter that she did not accept the apology.


She wrote that Yoho didn't "apologize or name any action he did," didn't "accept responsibility," and lied about their interaction -- saying "this was not a 'conversation,' it was verbal assault



LETS GO!!!!

Interesting -


Hannah Brown: A rap song got the "Bachelorette" star in hot water. She had to apologize for using the N-word while attempting to rap the lyrics of DaBaby's "Rockstar" on her Instagram Live. The whole situation resurfaced debate as to whether it's ever appropriate for White people to use that word. Here's a clue: It's not

The people calling out racism are just like the racists.

Your shtick is tired, UNO.  We've seen it here before, and know that every single poster here sees through it.

Well, the problem is that I put your quote: "Malatov cocktail throwing protesters should be dealt with by law enforcement" through a search and nothing came up.

So, post a link. Quotes always have a context. Responding to something without its context is like asking Andrea Bocelli to judge if it was a fastball or a curve that DeGromm just threw.

So, Linkee, or forgetee.
