Poor old pixiechick everyone is picking on her.  Quit playing the victim.  Its getting old. 

You were simply asked to provide the facts to what you were claiming and refused to do so and then you get all pissy because no one is buying what you are selling.

Now if you want to claim what you are spouting is just your opinion then fine. My response would be you are entitled to your opinion and I disagree with your opinion.  End of discussion.

But you can’t do that can you because you always have to be right.

And let me give you a piece of advice, you are always going to lose when making comparisons using trump, the majority of his supporters and the majority of Republicans who hold elected offices.

Thought this was very appropriate to the way some on this thread are posting:

I see a lot of people who I follow responding to this tweet (substitute post), so maybe it’s time to talk about outrage trolls. These accounts are not bots; they’re people who post intentionally inflammatory, over-the-top statements...

They want you to respond. That’s the whole point....

Outrage trolls don’t want dialogue, and you aren’t going to get one. They exist to waste your time and your followers’ time, to pollute your feed, to distract you from more important issues, and to make you angry enough to say something you regret.

These people exist to hijack your attention — and if you’re a large account, to hijack your followers’ attention, too. When you engage with them, you are giving them control of the discourse and allowing them to decide what you (and your followers) talk (or don’t talk) about.

Honest-to-goodness dialogue. Yes, please.

Posters who have no interest in reading and responding to specific points in the direct line of the discussion. No, thank you.

Much as the virus has changed form and presented new challenges, our fight against it has also needed to evolve.

Our best plays? Get vaccinated, get boosted and wear masks.

Most experts predicted early on that herd immunity could be reached at somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the population vaccinated. Some suggested it could be as low as 70 percent. But we’ve suffered from both poor luck and poor effort.

A year after covid vaccinations become available in the United States, our vaccination rate sits at a dismal 62 percent — far from even the most optimistic estimates of herd immunity.

oh, BS. You’ve been insisting this entire thread that Democratic violence is equivalent to Republican violence. Only you can’t back up that claim with actual facts, so now that’s not the argument you were making.

Your video clips of random small bits of rioting are in no way equal to an attempt to overthrow a lawful election. Sorry.

Claim by Jody Hice…

“Democrats “spent 4 years refusing to acknowledge Trump’s 2016 victory.”


We rate this claim False.”

pixiechick Science is a continual and ongoing process of change. With a new virus, it has and will continually change as scientists learn more and more. It's also akin to progress.

Hundreds arrested for storming the capitol on January 6th and hundreds arrested for violently protesting Trump defies your claim of immorality on one side only.

The Left is just as guilty of mass violence in several instances -just in the last few years, despite the claim of your OP.

Biden calling Trump an illegitimate president, along with many others doing so publicly, trying to undo a peaceful transfer of power for 4 years even before he was even sworn in and when he was days away from leaving office, defies your claim of the Left being gracious in defeat.

Did trump ever concede defeat?

1.  Where are your examples of “mass violence” by the left.  Mass violence that had to do with the election or specifically the trump presidency.

Well, I disagree.  My perception was that they initially said that vaccines were going to be the answer to stopping the virus, and that vaccinated people wouldn't get it. That is why they made such a big deal of professional athletes and other vaccinated people testing positive.  Perhaps the drug companies didn't focus on that, but the media sure did.  I'm sure that there were threads here that discussed that as well.  But, you can go on thinking that I and others who thought that initially are idiots like you want to portray.   It really doesn't matter.  That isn't where we are at with the vaccines now, but trying to say that there hasn't been different information given about the vaccine and how effective it is at preventing infection (or if people who were vaccinated could be spreaders) has changed is false.  

And TRUMP spent more than 4 years ranting about how the 2020 election was going to be rigged. He started before he even was sworn in. He talked about primaries he lost being rigged. He spent years drilling this into peoples heads, with zero proof. But yeah, of course, you will defend him. You always do. 

they said I could wear theirs over mine

So what was your point in posting? Since you don't care to engage in any meaningful conversation, just throwing random updates at us, it seems pretty obvious you just wanted to stir the pot, maybe test us to see how we'd respond or whatever. There is a happy medium between arguing and just ignoring people.

So - you had some incredibly kind words and support from the Peas as we always do when someone is down, but there's been no thanks from you, no recognition of that, just obtuse posts about chess etc. 

So, are you happy now? Did you achieve what you wanted?

Dec 9, 2021 7:41pm-    Thank you all for your responses. I was able to talk to him yesterday and he sounded good. It breaks my heart to think of how this great kid really has been abandoned by his parents. His bio mom left when he was two years old, took a plane to California, and never looked back. Then my daughter married his father (way too soon, I think) and cared for him since then. His father was cheating on my daughter several times and she finally divorced him. When she left him she took both kids (she and he had a child together as well) and he was ok with it. Over time he visited less and stopped calling. Now he doesn't visit or call and my daughter even emailed him several times and mentioned that he was in the hospital. No response. My grandson told the therapist that the only reason he is still alive is because of my daughter. He knows that she loves him. I always tell him that I do too. I'm so thankful that he asked for help, and we have an opportunity to show him that we love him no matter what. He's a really good kid. <3

Yes, and I’m glad that he did. It gave businesses the backbone to demand Covid vaccines. So in the end, in my opinion, it was the right thing to do. See, that’s an *opinion.* As has been explained to you a tiresome number of times, and yet you keep ignoring it, smaller companies were exempt because it was felt that many of them lacked the administrative setup to enforce it. I am ok with that. Oh look, another opinion of mine.

Biden changed course after it was clear that a lot of jackasses were not getting that “newfangled vaccine.” Hey, they’re fine with taking those monoclonal antibodies-also newfangled-once they get sick, aren’t they? Odd how that works.

So we have established that Biden changed his mind and decided that mandates were needed. Yes, those are facts. Clearly you disapprove of mandates and feel that all companies should have been included. That is your opinion. See the difference?

You keep repeating the same things. Obviously you are Big Mad about the mandates. Hey, there’s my opinion again.

As for Afghanistan, where did that come from? Are you just free-ranging ranting about Biden?

Now, I can see that you are going to keep typing the same things over and over, interspersed with words like “nope” and “lies.” It’s all very tedious, so go ahead and have the last word.

You made a list.  Where are your facts to back up what you are claiming.

By the way my feelings about Nate Silver has to do with basketball and the Golden State Warriors and not politics.   In case you missed it, last night Steph Curry became the player with the most three point baskets in the NBA and he did it faster then the previous holder of that title Allen.




 

You are making assumptions & accusations with no facts to back them up once again.  Without facts they are just meaningless words.
