There it is. Called it 4 days ago.

It's going to be interesting to see how our resident Trump supporters are going to excuse that tweet away.

She isn't called "Occasional-Cortex" for nothing. There's nothing in her CV to indicate she's qualified for anything beyond the bar-work she once did, and quite a lot in her public declamations to indicate she isn't.

But her hawtness as a bosomy young woman, and the apparent egoism and lack of self-doubt that this has conferred her has got her quite a long way. So far.

You think a constitutional amendment is in order to ensure appropriate experience in prospective politicians? That's new, but interesting...

What life experience or qualifications would you say were essential for office?

(your style sounds familiar, have we talked before, on a different board?)

Even among pathetic dodges that is a pathetic dodge. Do you really think you are fooling anyone but yourself? Are you even fooling yourself?

I didn't ask that question because I thought it couldn't be answered. That question absolutely has an answer. There is indeed a way to know exactly who Trump was referring to. But I doubt most people on the left are honest enough to actually give it. Instead, they'll just dance around it or act offended.
 
Ziggurat said:
You have it wrong. There isn't ambiguity. I asked because the actual reason there isn't any ambiguity is itself enlightening.

Oh this is rich. I figured the Trumpers were gonna have to stretch reality really, really bad to figure out a way to defend their Messiah on this one, but this is just gold.

So please, enlighten me. Who was Trump obviously and without ambiguity talking to. Who needs to "go back where they came from?"

I asked first. You answer my question, and I'll answer yours.

You wouldn't care to actually say it out loud though, would you?

That sounds like personalisation and I have it on good authority that it's a big no-no.

I'm happy to. I want to see other people's answers first, though.

According to the forum rules, it's not personalization. The forum rules actively encourage you to insult large groups of people instead of individuals. So that is what I have done. And I'm far from alone in doing so in this thread, even on this page.

Why must others go first? Make your case. Otherwise it just sounds like you're making excuses, which doesn't inspire confidence that acting as you ask would net any concession anyway.

And according to some laws, marital rape is not rape. What's your point?
 
Ziggurat said:
Because I asked first. That's how it normally works.

Come on, Zig. We're not kids anymore.

That I'm playing by the same rules as everyone else. What's it to you?

I find it interesting that you're not interested in being better than that. Veiled insults thrown at a large group you happen to disagree with politically. That's not very civil, rules or not.

I've tried it. Being better than that doesn't work, it doesn't help, and nobody actually cares if I am.

Go tell that to everyone else in this thread hurling insults at large groups they happen to disagree with politically. I'm not interested in being the only one who plays by rules which aren't even rules.

Get to the point. Stop dodging. Make your case.

If someone were playing the game you are in the Conspiracy Theory subforum you'd be rightly blasting him.

We've been asking people to explain why Trump telling 4 non-white Congress people to "Go back where they came from" isn't racist for 4 days now in the Trump thread and the people who jump to defend his every fart haven't said a word.

Sod your "But nobody will answer my question"

Zigg is desperate for a gotcha moment that simply isn't there.
Click to expand...

Contra Zig, I think the gotcha is in the refusal of people who claim to know who Trump was talking about, to support their reasoning from the text of what Trump actually said. Incidentally, another big potential gotcha, that could blow up in Zig's face, would be if someone supported the claim that it was AOC, from the actual text of what was said.
