Just how did I insult his children, by asking Why post a picture of your children?
I can see how he insulted mine, but I know better and I'm not as unstable as you.

You are the easiest Magae to wind up and watch lose his mind.

As an aside I hear that many people say that PB said: Sir...I'm hearing that the newest version of the Chinese made MAGA hat - not only has a tin foil liner for avoiding the truth, but also has been upgraded to protect from all pandemics.
You better upgrade.

But I do believe that when the story is finally written, we’ll come to understand that tens of thousands of lives were placed at risk because of a political decision made by PsychoBozo to attempt to save the worlds oldest bullmarket that had been on life support for the past couple of years.

His comments about my mother got under my skin (my bad) because we almost lost her last month, but that worked out fine.

I'm asking why the liberals here, apply such ridiculously different standards, in terms of what's tolerated? As the most rational liberal here (which isn't exactly stiff competition, but I do know how smart you are), perhaps you could offer an opinion as to why that is?

For me, it is because I don't read Pete's posts, even before he was on ignore. He and I probably agree on a lot, but it gets old. As far as why they called 'conservatives' out, maybe it is bias, but go look at the shear volume of posts that are insulting vs content... it sure skews one way vs another...

i concede that if you ignore the liberal posts that are insulting, that it appears that conservatives have a monopoly on being insulting.

we can raise the bar...

I only ignore one poster officially.
I basically ignore the two posters on the right that just post insults and snark.

Give me a break. You constantly insult liberals here. You always have and continue to. You just can't help yourself - as evident by the dig above. You start by commenting on the issue and then start with the "liberals this" and "liberals that". And that is why I've said you're an angry person.

Would you want you kid(s) seeing your posts here?

You're blind if you think the liberals here are as insulting as the conservatives here.

you specifically said you don’t care what pete posts. so why do you care what i post or Dangles? Why do you only care what the right leaning folks post? very curious to see the answer to that.

my kids are young, so no, i wouldn’t want them to see what i post here. but i like buffalo wings and don’t let my kids eat that. i like watching Better Call Saul and dont let them watch that. some scientists feel that children and adults are different.

you’ve tried many times to say i’m angry and constantly insulting. not close to true. i don’t know that i’ve ever insulted anyone here off the bat, i don’t do that. if someone repeatedly refuses to support a claim or answer a question, then yes.

again, it’s only a character flaw to you, when conservatives behave this way.

if i let my 8 year old here for ten seconds,,he’d see thy hypocrisy.

You would think this was the Onion
Ahead of coronavirus spending bill vote, GOP FL Rep Matt Gaetz is sitting on the floor, wearing a biohazard mask
Congressman Gaetz was informed today that he came into contact with a CPAC attendee 11 days ago who tested positive for COVID-19.
Gaetz was on Air Force One with Trump roughly an hour ago.

I guess we could just quarantine all the republicans who were at CPAC.
In a moment of irony, Mitt Romney is safe.

Great interview asking if anyone coming in under the new travel ban can bring in the virus and Trump being unable to not lie and spin, claims everyone coming in is tested and of course boasting about the outstanding testing in place. You red hat boys still defending him, still going to say how well this administration has handled this, even when the science experts tell congress the testing has been a failure. The economy is headed for the toilet, we are sheltering in place guarding our TP supply and Trump keeps lying and spinning to keep his 2020 run alive. He and this administration is a joke.

Trump* tweeted another but Obama pile of baloney

“The Obama White House had to immediately issue an apology for Joe Biden’s remarks, and any alarm that he might have caused, an alarm about a Swine Flu outbreak that took 6 months for President Obama to declare a National Emergency, and that killed 12,000 Americans.”

Lies again

H1N1 was first diagnosed in US April 15, 2009.

CDC activated emergency operations April 22.

1 million tests released by May 15.

Prototype vaccine completed by end August 2009.

477 people in US died from H1N1

Big difference between picking fun and being completely inappropriate, but you like Trump have no filter so I expect no change.

“We have it totally under control."

“It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

Donald Trump*, Jan. 22, 2020, on Coronavirus

Jan. = same time S. Korea took quick action:

U.S. has 327 million people:
As of March 11, CDC, state and public health labs have conducted more than 11,000 tests since mid-January.

S. Korea, 51 million people:
has tested more than 200,000 of its population since January.

We shortly will reach the point in the movie where the malignant President (played by Donald Sutherland) is fretfully watching tv scenes of overrun hospitals and looted grocery stores ... and his dry raspy cough leads him to realize that HE has been infected with the killer virus.

My sister sent me a text with a picture of the paper goods isle at Costco yesterday. Everyone buying TP was like 70 - 80 years old.

Gen. Abrams says USFK can get as many people tested "as necessary" for COVID-19.

He credits the Republic of Korea with how they've handled testing, pointing to things like drive-through testing centers. He says they're able to do up to 18,000 tests a day.

USFK has 9 people who have tested positive — including 1 service member, and 2 active-duty dependents.

All 9 of them live off-base.

China's richest man Jack Ma donates one million face masks and 500,000 coronavirus test kits to the US as Beijing and Washington accuse each other of being the origin of the disease
Ma, the founder of Alibaba, announced the donation today through social media
'Hopefully, these supplies can help some people in the United States,' he wrote
