I honestly don’t understand where this hostility’s coming from. I “can carry on.. you see me”. This has gotten too weird for me. I’m out man. This is Twilight Zone stuff at this point.
I’m not upset, KD. You’ve never upset me. I’m also not the one who had a meltdown today. I just find the cognitive dissonance between how you see yourself and then the behavior you actually display fascinating to watch.
I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I don’t think you’re capable of challenging anything I write if we’re being honest.
We were going back and forth in relative agreement for several posts. I was adding context and backing up my argument with examples of the tactics Carlson is using to expand his audience and political influence. You somehow completely spaced out on all of that, invented an entirely different argument in your head, convinced yourself I made it, and lost your mind over it.
So what exactly am I supposed to defend here? The made up conversation in your head?
I understand there was a lot of damage. My point is that saying the cities were destroyed is not true. Extremist rhetoric comes to mind.
My contention with your post about Carlson is if he targeted any other group besides Jews you would dismiss him as a monstrous bigot. No nuance, no context. And then when I skim over your essay there’s a couple of paragraphs dedicated to Carlson, then a couple for Israel.
It’s not “made up”. Your posts are for all to see

If you owned a business, how would you feel? Mostly peaceful or destroyed? See where we’re going here?
I don’t give a **** what Tucker Carlson is doing. He’s a monster. The End. If his sole focus was demonizing any other group, you wouldn’t be worried about him “expanding his audience” or influence
It doesn’t matter how anybody feels. We’re talking about objective reality. If you were a Minneapolis business owner whose livelihood was affected, you have every right to be pissed, but if you tell the world your entire city was destroyed, you’d be lying. How is this hard to understand?
This is a bizarre statement, KD. You brought Tucker into the conversation, wrote multiple posts about him, and then specifically asked me questions about him just yesterday. Did you forget that?
I answered your questions, you didn’t like my answer, proceeded with your meltdown, then randomly started attacking other people referencing statements you seemingly made up in your head. I’ve never defended Tucker Carlson. You’ve completely invented that as well.
This is the second time this month you’ve gotten completely lost in a conversation, invented things to get mad about, and displayed genuinely erratic behavior in the process. Are you okay? Does this happen to you in the real world too?

What part of $500 million in damages and destroyed is extremist rhetoric? Plus 1,500 businesses damaged. Who will be footing the bill? What about insurance premiums? Are you and @BOOGIEMAN1914 related?
Kid, saying cities were not destroyed is like saying “he only lost one arm, he still had the other one, so quit exaggerating!”
If this happened under Republican leadership they would be screaming an entirely different tune. That’s the difference between thinking for yourself and being a sheep.
Spot on. Liberals, radical leftists, or whatever, should be honestly treated for mental illness. To say it again, if the truth ever comes out on how corrupt our media has been, there will be many of them that have mental breakdowns.
Well, let’s start with the definition of “destroyed.” It means damaged beyond repair. Are all of those businesses permanently closed? Do you not understand there’s a difference between damaged and destroyed. What does it matter who bears the cost when distinguishing between something being damaged or destroyed? It’s irrelevant.
Your ‘analogy’ is ridiculous. Claude tells me there are between 20-25,000 registered business establishments in Minneapolis, so that means maybe 8% of them were damaged and you’re saying the city was destroyed/equating that to a human being permanently losing an arm. You don’t think that’s a little extreme? How many residences were wiped out during the destruction of Minneapolis? How many people lost an arm?
It’s the difference between sounding like an unhinged lunatic and sounding like someone capable of an honest debate. Which I know you’re not, I’ve read enough of your posts. I can’t believe I let myself get sucked in.
What are you so mad about? I don’t get it. Not all of my posts are award caliber I’ll grant you that, but the anger I don’t get.
My internet service is spotty right now. If you could repost our relevant correspondence without trying to 5150 my *** I’d be grateful.
If it were prolifers setting things on fire, looting stores, etc. how long until they called the National Guard in?
You’re playing word salad. It’s what you libs do. We went through this fiasco over a movie related to human trafficking a few weeks back. Now here you are nitpicking words used over protests from 2021. You should have simply said “yeah those were some very awful things that happened across the country.”
You guys wonder why rational people don’t take you seriously.
Instead of condemning all political violence, he’s looking for receipts as to whether whole cities were burned or just half the cities. It’s a weird hill to die on, to be sure, but this is what we’ve come to expect.
Meanwhile, apparently I’ve hurt Boogie’s feelings. Duckdevil is his therapist now and is privy to insight the rest of us lack. I’m tired of playing wet nurse to these lunatics honestly.
He said he’s done with me. Best I can tell, I had the audacity to suggest that someone other than white Europeans owned slaves and still do in the Mid East and Africa. And he mumbled a few things and hit the road.
Just never know about folks I guess.
Maybe Haywood can fill the void in the meantime.
Could you point to my post that has offended you so terribly? I’d like to examine this issue further, but apparently what I did is so horrific that it can’t be discussed.
We all like a good pout now and then, but this is ridiculous.
“It doesn’t matter how anybody feels”.
Talk about a disconnect from reality when the looting and property damage was justified specifically based on the rioters’ feelings. Weird comment.
“What does it matter who bears the cost”? Clearly you’ve never run a business. If the city of Minneapolis fails to protect its businesses from looting and a temper tantrum from those with low IQs and a predisposition towards criminal behavior anyway, why should the business owners incur the financial penalty? The businesses likely face high losses due to shoplifting on a good day, and now they have to pony up the money to rebuild because Minnesota is chock full of liberal weenies who worship disfunction and grift.
Yep. You sound like an unhinged lunatic.
Dismissing burning and looting as if that’s normal and peaceful behavior. I guess you’re another one of those people who want to defund or abolish the police.
The ugly pattern developing here is your nonsensical posts and your creepy patronization of the only Black poster on this board. It’s clear his approval is important to you, which is great, but what’s sad is when someone’s too dumb to realize they’re being tokenized. This is a sad and pathetic dynamic we’ve seen for decades now.
They think it’s cute when certain groups do it: generational PTSD and all. When whites do it, they sing a different tune.
lol. He says he can’t believe he got sucked in. I can. You can only lurk for so long in the closet until eventually you’ll want to put your two cents on the table. I guess he figured Yoda wasn’t coming back anytime soon, so he might as well throw caution to the wind.
I agree. The liberals are the biggest virtue signalers there are. I remember driving through Davidson and seeing lots of signs in people’s yards such as George Floyd, BLM, and the rainbow flag. It’s all for appearances only.
I didn’t have a problem with the ‘Mean People Suck’ brigade at Duke. Seemed harmless enough at the time. Problem is, they’ve spawned and had DSA piglets.
We have a few delusional posters on here. Duckey and Haywood are the new breed of the left. You can tell they're younger than Datt and Boogie. More dangerous with their thinking too. To be worse than the older two is a scary thought. The scarier part? There will be some coming along in a few years that are even worse than these two kids. Our two newer posters are they byproducts of tolerance. They've been given a voice, and spew way too much lunacy. I get that everyone is allowed a voice, but when the person is allowed to say unhinged and scary things, and gets to vote? God pray for all of us.
Twenty five years ago next Friday is the sad anniversary of 9/11. I fully believe if that happened now, there would be defenders of the terrorists by a few on here. Look at who the mayor is of NYC. He is nothing more than the result of that word 'tolerance' that's been shoved down our throats over time. He would have never been elected fifteen years ago.

Mike Johnson and Republican leadership have now canceled the final two weeks of scheduled votes and sent the House home until after the midterms in November. Republicans have passed only one signature piece of legislation despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress for the last two years: a massive tax cut for billionaires.
They leave for vacation with diesel prices at all time highs, food prices at record highs, soaring borrowing costs, and a hot war with Iran with no end in sight.

Do you not understand that our country has been on a slow decline for decades, not a year and a half? Maybe it will put some pressure on these eggheads at Fed Reserve to lowers rates.
See how it plays out first kiddo. I know you're dribbling down your leg over a possible bad Trump idea, and all, but...
I’m curious, @Mac9192, can you tell me what would happen if the Fed listened to the President and lowered interest rates right now?
This shouldn’t be too hard a question for you to answer. I think it might be good for you to work through the consequences of such an action in this moment.
