My administration has given me accolades, my colleagues respect me, and my kids love me because they know I am genuine and do my best for them.

What do you do for a living?

If you look real close, you can see the word “was”.

I like Chez. I do miss the guy. Hopefully, he is let back in for 2024 when it will be Nikki Haley vs Kamala Harris.

But, yeah, how come you never denounced all those posts?

You call yourself a 'heckler'. It's a gentler term for troll. You are aware of this.

To have a job in special education, which requires a lot of empathy .. And then to troll, which is characterized by the lack thereof.. is kind of baffling. Maybe it has to do with there being more than one kind of empathy. ..https://qz.com/1021205/psychologists...rolls-so-mean/ .. Science!

I don't have any interest in sharing that much personal information. I wouldn't care if you felt the same.

He still drops his garbage in Seneca (right now, he's calling people sheep for wearing masks to protect others). If he was still allowed in here, he'd be constantly posting insane Q memes, and you wouldn't be saying a word about any of those either, which was the point.
He's on your team, which is Q's team, which is Trump's team.
Own it.

His campaign also welcomed foreign interference to help him win the election. And it is still going on! If, after knowing just those two things, a friend or family member who still votes for that bum, well, I don’t want to deal that person anymore. He has made me money (even though regulations protect us) but I prefer a leader who is a good, kind person with grit. And remember, kindness does not equal weakness.

How come you never denounced the QAnon nonsense when it was prevalent in this thread? You are always hounding others (and rightfully so) for research and documentation but turned a blind eye with conspiracy theories.

BTW, I never said I caused your temper tantrum. I think it was jd who shook you up several times.

Remember when Qanon was touting that crazy conspiracy theory that Jeffrey Epstein was running a global pedophile ring for elites? Can you believe people actually fell for that? Qtards.

Are you really trying to grasp at post denouncing morality?

It's like saying that any post you HAVEN'T directly responded to implies agreement. Similar to what we've seen now - the "If you don't say you support BLM, you're racist" line of thinking. It's incredibly stupid.

I speak only for myself. The fact that you see opinions as teams speaks pretty loudly.

Your effort to claim this as a form of self-placement on a mythical moral high ground is exactly what I was talking about.

“High levels of cognitive empathy make these people adept at recognizing what will upset someone, and knowing when they’ve pushed the right buttons. The lack of affective empathy allows trolls not to experience or internalize the emotional experience of their victims.”

So I did offend you? I pushed your buttons? You’re a victim?

Come on, man.

It also says that me, being a so called troll, makes me not empathetic. You can see that is just not true.

Yeah, when I tried to tell Frenzy just last night that I didn't want to speak for the motivations of others regarding the removal of Confederate tributes on public land and only wished to give my own view, you accused me of struggling to give an answer.

How loud does that speak?

You can spin it however you want, call it a gentler term, make it instead about how you envision that your posts make others feel, but .. You troll.

Is it possible that when your line of thinking is that you can't be friends with someone based solely on if they vote for Trump .. that your ability for empathy in your own mind doesn't match your ability (or want to, really) for empathy in the real world?

Not as loud as you telling me about these teams.

You gave non-answers. Technically, they are still answers.

Oh, no!
Despite employing his trademark precise wording, hairysasquatch was somehow misunderstood!

I knew exactly what/who you meant, but don't worry, that answer wasn't intended for you.

They were direct answers, just not the ones he wanted, which is why he so shamelessly mischaracterized them earlier today. He actually did a lot of what you do: taking things people actually say and "rephrasing" them in a way that renders them unrecognizable from the original intent.

Are you sure he's not on your team?

"There were things I did" is also a direct answer to "What'd you do yesterday?"

Got a lot of time on your hands. You seem pretty focused on this thread.


I will extend the friendly invitation again. You are welcome to PM me and we can discuss.

You are a study in self-absorption.

It's an open forum. No need for a PM in this situation, really. Let 'er rip.

Will Trump confront Putin about Russia paying bounties to Taliban to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan? This is generally the type of thing that would be denounced by a President of the United States. Is it true he's known since March?

Wow, Trump playing buddies with Putin while he allows bounties to be put on our soldiers. Sick, you Trump supporters are really dug in to let this one go too, just add it to the list of treasonous acts...don't bother responding, it's all lies, spin, and nonsense out of your mouths at this point...

It is true he has known it, and also true that he will do nothing, beyond continuing to insist Russia be allowed back into the G-7.
He values his relationship with his campaign manager Putin more than he values the lives of American soldiers.
Trump is a Russian puppet. This is the final proof of it.

This is why you don't get responses that you say you want.

[blackbears86]

I'm genuinely wondering what the trump lovers/defenders think about the bounty story. Especially if the trump administration has known this has been going on for 3+ months?



Seriously, how does this not make you upset?

No worry Uncle Joe will fix Russia as long as they wire Hunter $$ for his advice.

Thanks for your thoughtful insight.



and in case you haven't seen my previous posts: Biden sucks too, but I would think he wouldn't repeatedly bend over for putin like trump does.
