Presidential Money Laundering

Oh, absolutely.

I fail to understand what the attraction is to participate in a thread that you don't happen to have enough knowledge of the subject being discussed.But each to their own I guess.Maybe I should start participating in threads that cover your domestic policies ( shrug)

I asked you a question with civility, which is more than you have shown in return by accusing me of dictating what others respond to.

I’m guessing this was, in part, because you thought I was hand slapping you—I do apologize again that it was read that way, I swear it wasn’t meant like that at all. I tried to explain above.

Now, addressing my comments regarding Gia. I did not call her names, and I certainly did not refer to her or anyone here as an idiot, but yet I find myself being called out for it.


I stated, bereft of name calling, her opinions that were being stated as facts (citing of statutes etc.) as being untrue.

I think it is unfair that I’m often attributed to name calling or even just nastiness when I have not done it. Yes, I’ve had my moments in pea history—but that does not apply here.

If me posting that statements are untruthful (I purposely avoided saying she was liar/lying and used “nicer words”) has now become the “me being nasty and mean...” tag line...then I don’t know what to say, I guess I’m just an ugly, nasty horrible person.

What I stated was true, supported by facts, and did not contain name calling.

I keep trying to suggest this, but it falls on deaf ears. There are people that are trying to get a rise out of certain peas. It's so obvious. If we ignore them, they will go away. Better yet, why don't some people use the block feature?

Ok I've never heard of Claws. What channel is that on?

Thank you! 

Giant yes! Yes! Yes!

But this was your contribution on page 1:



On a thread that the OP specifically asked conservative peas their thoughts and for responses to be respectful. If don't recognize your contribution to the problem, you are myopic.  I mean seriously reread what you posted above about peas on the right.  You are one of the absolute worse offenders for both painting all conservatives with a broad brush (I read the conservative thread and there wasn't a single post justifying even half of the list you posted above about what "they want") and an absolute inability to not engage when a thread is going downhill.  You relish the drama - you are exactly what you hate on the other side. 

Yep I’m an awful, nasty, hateful pea because I was referencing the comments made by peas on the right on their slam & bash thread. I’m an island here, out on my own being called out for exactly what those on the right are posting on “their” thread.

Isn’t that always Gia’s excuse? Only responding to the other side’s commentary, and it sure is acceptable for her.

I stand by what I said where you first quoted—I did not call anyone an idiot, or other names here. Stating that someone is being snarky or snide is an observation, not name calling. Funny that you don’t address that my observation was actually factual, too!

I find your second response/quoting me extremely hypocritical, considering it is exactly what the basis of most of the conservative catch all was/is doing— and against the “rules” the OP of that thread laid out.

My “list” (your words) of what you speak of was not exclusive to just this message board—liberals are being attacked on many fronts—starting with the potus, the GOP, Facebook, Twitter, and other media. Never once did I say that it was the peas here that specifically or exclusively said all those things. The ONLY reference I made in that post about the peas on the conservative catch all thread was that given they were making snide and snarky comments regarding those of us on the left here, I didn’t think minds would be changed. (And I was right)

Not to mention my prior post had nothing to do with the exchange today. And now you’ve made it all fall on my shoulders that I’m the cause of all this. But funny how what I did say about “not likely to change their minds even if evidence was presented to be true” because in the exchange today, truthful, factual rebuttal statements were civilly presented, and it still did not matter to her, her mind was set and made up, period.

It’s good for you and the other conservatives to attack, mock, belittle, call people stupid, and hand slap but some on the left are not permitted to defend or even comment. Shoot—some conservative pea told compwalla that she was “crude as fuck” in a thread yesterday and not a peep from the usual on the right, not hand slapping one of their own.

What’s troubling to me is that not one of the conservatives here made note or commented on what myself and other peas pointed out—and civilly I might add—the untruthful, inaccurate statements. Nor did they contribute to topic, heck even I tried to post relevant-trump money laundering info to get it back on track which is more than what you or any other conservative did.

It’s so very easy to lay blame and hand slap here, but you might want to consider not casting such stones, Glass houses and all that jazz...

But the list of what right peas are interested in wasn’t true and wholly unsupportable by any post on that thread, but yet again facts don’t matter.

You attributed that “list” to specifically the peas on that thread, I did not. Not once did I say that it was specifically or exclusively peas nor did I attribute it to that thread (thus no quoting).

Liberals are being attacked daily from the potus, the GOP, Facebook, Twitter, the news, here, and other media. And yes, it is most certainly true, Including SOME peas.

There are some who will never change. There are clearly peas who don't like each other. I think the wounds are too deep and the damage has been done with some. It's up to the rest of us to either ignore it, or get involved in the fight. I'm going to ignore it. I will still discuss, vent when the administration something vent-worthy, share my concerns. It's not worth it to call names. And it certainly isn't going to change minds.

People have participated in threads here all the time who clarify that they don't know a lot about the subject, but enough to jump in and give an opinion on something that was said. Hell, someone on the Left did the exact same thing in this very thread, but when I do it, suddenly you have a problem with it. That makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever. It's a clearly prejudiced response to me.

I was just as civil to you as you were to me. You told me "what would be more appropriate for me to respond to". That IS dictating what I respond to.
If you don't like me saying that you did that, then don't do that and I won't say it. 

Completely agree. The "hair splitting" is maddening on both sides.
