AOC back with her fake photo op acting again..

Would it be fair to take the above childish comment as representative of the intellectual level you wish to bring to this discussion, or should one be optimistic and assume you are capable of more mature reasoning?

You've not had your morning coffee?

Except that he's not the only one who has noticed this; I did too:
Hah!
One displaying severe prejudice lectures me on bias again.
You make claims about my posts you fail to actually quote.
If you have issue with a particular one, I'll address it.
Otherwise, it's just more illiberal sniping.
I'm no fan of Democrats or liberalism myself
Yet you continually pounce on their behalf.
...but when you have violent insurrectionists and their supporters on one side and those who believe such violence should be legally penalized on the other, any pretense of "urging cooperation" becomes little more than thinly veiled partisan apologetics.
I dislike Cruz, & find his behavior atrocious.
I've said so....but you ignore this, & make the
false claim of apologetics. Perhaps because
you want to deflect from the thread's issue of
AOC's being disingenuous?
Your approach is mere partisan vengeance.
Both Pubs & Dems have the job of governance,
which should take priority over personal hostilities.
If AOC cannot work with the opposition, she should
resign, & be replaced with someone who can.

I suppose calling out frequent apologetics and pretenses of "neutrality" is now "severe prejudice." Interesting.

Just a particular one? Not really: I'm talking about a long-term habit that stretches over too many posts to quote at once.

Yet you continually pounce on their behalf.

Just call it "urging cooperation" if that helps you see it as more palatable. Personally, I'm honest enough to admit I'm not urging such between a bunch of violent lunatics and their detractors.

You sure do a much better job of showing your disdain for AOC than you do Cruz and whatever "atrocious behavior" of his that you speak of. That you either don't notice or admit this is a separate issue--one that doesn't change how your arguments come across.

If AOC cannot work with the opposition, she should
resign, & be replaced with someone who can.

You can barely tolerate criticism of your arguments, yet you're asking a politician to simply work with someone whose actions and rhetoric have contributed to potential physical violence against her. That's a bizarre contrast in standards if I've ever seen one.

I'm not the one who made a middle-school-level comment about a politician's appearance, so your question is best directed elsewhere.

Just have to keep up the heavy tone.
Ok-

You said the same to all who
made orange-man comments?

No?

I dont like you either, and would keep you
on ig except you can take advantage of your status as a modulator.

Why do so many posters insist upon making
it clear that they dislike us? All that wasted anguish
over mere political differences...often just imagined.
(I once had a poster dis me for not believing evolution.)

Some here should spend more time in the joke &
game threads. There, we have friendly banter, even
with posters who find each other's politics evil.
Some of my best friends here are evil.

Women actually do that sort of thing you know.
No, not really. I just don't fall for things people happen to say out of the blue.

I'm not saying it didn't happen nor that it did happen.

Just that there are actually people out there who do that sort of thing all the time. Not everyone is honest you know.
All the time, eh?

Mm hm.

Because so much fame and fortune comes from reporting sexual assault. Just look how lovingly AOC is being treated on this thread.

Thanks for demonstrating the myriad reasons why people don't report sexual assault though. Remember that the next time you are putting someone down for not speaking up sooner or accusing someone of using assault to gain fain and fortune.

True dat.
Saint AOC doesn't lie...she just needs convoluted rationalizations
to explain how her counter-factual statements are true....sort of.

I think she really is smart.
But she's young & not quite ready for prime time.
At her age, I was even more immature than she.
So I cut her some slack....just some.

I'm sure if she said out of the blue this media darling of the left confessed was viciously probed by purple aliens, there would be guilt shaming of those who are justifiably skeptical.

You know, just because she says something, therefore all skeptical folks ought to be guilt shamed because a nutcase megalomaniac woman with a well documented reputation and history of never telling the truth and half truths is expected to be taken as gospel by everyone? Not everyone is dumb enough to believe everything any person says just on a basis that they said it. Especially someone with her history of lying all the time.

If not,

Where is the police report?

Who abused her?

Any names?


Its not about sexual abuse. Its all about her consistant lying/ half truth yapping drivin tirades as opportunities to propagandize.

Ted Cruz was out there riling up the insurrectionist crowd with the best of them, so I'm not sure how farfetched this really is.
Very farfetched. Cruz is a reckless guy, who is in my opinion
one of those responsible for increased hostility & violence.
However, AOC's charge was specific, ie, he's trying to kill her.
That is unreasonable.
Malicious falsehoods, whether by Cruz or AOC, should not be
excused or justified.

The sexual abuse claim was being used as a tool in passing to prop up her alleged 'trauma' at the Capitol.

Even if true in terms of abuse, she was still focusing on making the Capitol riot out to be something that she herself experienced as if she was in the building at the time.

As many people already know, she was never in the Capitol.

Thats the propaganda.
A tool for what? What did she gain from it politically, or hope to gain, in your opinion? From where I stand, it doesn't look like she's gained a damn thing except for scorn and judgment. She said right in the video, by the way, "The reason I say this and the reason I'm getting emotional in this moment is because these folks who tell us to move on, that it's not a big deal, that we should forget what's happened, or even telling us to apologize. These are the same tactics of abusers. And, um, I'm a survivor of sexual assault."


"And I haven't told many people that in my life. But when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other. And so, whether you had a negligent or a neglectful parent, and -- or whether you had someone who was verbally abusive to you, whether you are a survivor of abuse, whether you experience any sort of trauma in your life, small to large -- these episodes can compound on one another."

And why do you put "trauma" in quotations as though someone couldn't be traumatized by the insurrection that happened at the Capitol building? And who are you to judge what someone is traumatized by? Do you have mind reading abilities?

No, I never claimed anything about AOC'S whereabouts during the insurrection... I didn't even know she wasn't at the Capitol building, I thought she was. And if she was across the street, it would still be like she was there to me.

So me and the OP aren't saying the same things. o_O
You know the Capitol is made up of a whole complex of adjoining buildings, right?
