"Small group of agitators" responsible for French unrest.

Imagine that.

[LarryBnDC]

Where did I find gas chambers and  ZyklonB funny?

In your off the cuff response to Utley

Similar results without the expense of contracting for gas chambers and zyklnB

Your casual indifference to the extermination of 6 million people was disgusting.

You should be ashamed of yourself for that.

Fuck off you pissy bitch.

LMAO

I told Josh I'd be nice to you

We both use facts in our discussions and attempts to persuade. You with Red and me recently with knicks.

Banks, I would readily agree to facts, but you mistake your OPINION for facts when you’re hectoring me.

Knicks as demonstrated by your unwillingness to suppport your opinion with your data seems to contradict your sudden beliief in facts.

And

You recently compared an airborn virus , an act of nature to a 15 year demonic plan to exterminate European Jews (and other undesriables).

And IIRC you said that the difference was covid was more efficient in killing than poison gas and gas chambers.

I thought it little cold and callous at this time of we give thanks and count our blessings

But I guess you give thanks to different things that I do.

And knicks years in equity research taught me to back up my opinions with facts
old habits are hard to break
particularly good habits

What facts, Banks?

You’re disgusted by comparisons? Fine. That is an opinion.


“Knicks as demonstrated by your unwillingness to suppport your opinion with your data seems to contradict your sudden beliief in facts.”

I was unwilling to jump and dance to Utley’s tune.

You stepped in with your JENNA bullshit because I wouldn’t respond to UTLEY.

That is a fact, bud.

I posted the entire paper.

How much money has this Administration invested in spreading the Covid19 aside from the tax money send in transporting the president and providing personal security to the super spreader in chief?

So in eight months we’ve lost a quarter million people and riding through shear malfeasance.

Want to do a cost analysis on how much it cost kill a quarter million people?

The FACT is every time Banks wants to go ape shit on me it is NEVER about facts

It’s about how I refuse to bend to his will.

I’ll never argue a fact but I’ll wrestle you to the floor over some bullshit option.

BTW

Enough of the Anti Semite bullshit.

Going by the American rules of race I’m more Jew than Sammy Davis was.

And this is where you leave the land of facts, Banks.

It was not the airborne virus and "act of nature" that was the comparison, no matter how frequently you insist that it was.

It was the intentional withholding of aid by the federal government after Jared realized that it was predominantly hitting blue states and especially Blacks that was compared to Hitler's efforts, while acknowledging that it was not the same.

And you are unlikely to admit that, either, because you don't back down very well.

But that was what happened in multiple views, even if you don't see it.

Another GOP bogus case down the tubes:

Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismisses another election case brought by Republicans

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit Saturday night from US Rep. Mike Kelly and other Republicans, after they had tried to invalidate absentee voting and block the certification of votes in recent weeks.

The dismissal adds to a growing number of losses in court for Republicans and supporters of President Donald Trump, who have tried to attack voting systems in the wake of President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The lawsuits have failed almost uniformly.

The court was unanimous in deciding against Kelly and others, and refusing to block vote certification on Saturday. Five of the seven judges wrote that they believed the lawsuit had been filed far too late, a year after absentee voting procedures had been established in the state and weeks after millions of Pennsylvanians voted in good faith.

"It is beyond cavil that Petitioners failed to act with due diligence in presenting the instant claim," the court wrote in its majority opinion.

The high court said the Republicans couldn't reconfigure their complaints and try again.

Lower courts in the state had said the lawsuit, which was filed weeks after Election Day, could stop counties from certifying votes, but that move had essentially become irrelevant.

Pennsylvania counties had already certified their vote counts, making Biden the winner of the battleground state by an 80,000-vote margin.

"Beyond cavil."

Report: Public School Enrollment Dropping Across The Country

Fewer students are enrolled in public schools across the country amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
According to The New York Times, Massachusetts public schools have seen 37,000 fewer students(4%) in North Carolina, 4 fewer students were enrolled, while in Massachusetts, specifically, enrollment for pre-kindergarten students is 30% lower over previous years, and enrollment for kindergarten-age students is 12% lower.
In some cases, the charter schools are taking them, in some cases privates and parochials,” Glenn Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, told The New York Times in an interview. “The bigger tragedy is that some kids aren’t getting anything, because they’ve fallen off the map.
Across the Unites  in places such as Montana, Wisconsin, and Missouri, public schools are also experiencing a drop in enrollment. Last month, other news outlets reported a similar phenomenon in other areas, such as Utah, Washington, D.C., and Houston, Texas.
In New York City, which recently held optional in-person learning for some students for roughly two months, public school enrollment has declined about 3.2% from past years. The public school system has since closed for in-person learning.
The closures have been a blow to parents, many of whom have expressed outrage at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to shutter schools.

Maybe the misguided actions of politicians closing schools will be a boon to legislators finally realizing that putting the educational needs of kids  into  the hands of parents fortified with vouchers will finally catch hold.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

and thats a rhetorical question as you seem to be dancing to the tune of holocaust denial and I'm franky surprised.

But dance if you must.

No one is denying for a second that Trump fucked this up in all sorts of ways, from lieing, withholding information, denying science, providing no leadership on the issue, and seemingly encouraging ther spread for what he thought was for his political gain. He didn't want to hurt the economy or the market. He was half-right. The market miraculously held value. Of course it took the Fed and $3 trillion of stimulus to pump the motherfucker up.

But the comparison at the time that this was Trump's Final solution.

A Final Solution to what-pesky Democrats?

we'll just kill the libs!

I hate Trump almost as much as the next guy, but I don't beleive in fucking insane conspiracy theories.

Most understand what Hitler Final Solution was, at least the big picture.

it was the planned extermination of 10 million European Jews and other non-desirables, like gypsies, homosexuals.



And it exterminated about two-thirds of the European Jews.

It was planned, very specfic and an act of a mad-man, carried out over 15 or so years.

The comparison of the holocaust to trump's ineptitude handling the public health issues was gross and minimized the holocaust.

and Josh there is nothing for me to back down from those are facts and no amount of your bullshit misplaced condescension will change the sad history of either Germany from 1932-1945 nor America in 2020 when an airborne virus killed 250,000 (and rising) and that with a competent president providing competent leadership could have controlled.

As it was elsewhere.

Holocaust denial?

Motherfucker.


You’re a lying sack of shit.



You act as if this virus was just an “Oopsie!”  by an incompetent asshole and that couldn’t be further from the truth.


Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, with its vows to enforce state violence against Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and black Americans, was built on a promise to enforce terms of the racial contract that Barack Obama had ostensibly neglected, or violated by his presence. Trump’s administration, in carrying out an explicitly discriminatory agenda that valorizes cruelty, war crimes, and the entrenchment of white political power, represents a revitalized commitment to the racial contract.

But the pandemic has introduced a new clause to the racial contract. The lives of disproportionately black and brown workers are being sacrificed to fuel the engine of a faltering economy, by a president who disdains them. This is the COVID contract.

You’re stuck in a cycle of denial to the point where you make up a fact and defend it as gospel.

No actually we debated your opinion, (the abstract and conclusion) when you would not provide facts when asked several  times.

I generally provide facts to support my opinions when I'm trying to make a case.

For example, in the above post I deflated your factless opinion that covid-19 was Trumps Final Solution by comparing it with the facts of the what most understand was Hitler's Final Solution.

Given that I have said nothing that touches within a country mile of holocaust denial, your issues with this are yours, not mine.

I'm done pretending that you and I are discussing anything in common.

You are inventing arguments out of thin air while denying straight forward statements. It's beyond "more sensitive to the holocaust than they are."

I will leave you to get your last word in, because you always want to get the last word in, then this topic is over.
