It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.

Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

    Sounds like Trump to me.

    Yet another firmly held belief tossed aside to allow you to continue supporting Trump.

    See the record breaking $1 TRILLION added to the debt as another example.

    His failure on the debt is aggravating, but what is more aggravating is that although I care regardless of whom the president is you only care because who this specific president is.

      Whether DM cares or not is irrelevant, but I'm sure you realized as much when you decided to trot out this super clever "gotcha"!

      That's right, I'd feel the same way about any president (any local pols too) with a background in real estate development. Haven't met a developer yet that I could trust, but we've met many that said one thing (about what they were going to build or the effect on our neighborhood) and did another.

    I only support him when you make absurd claims that can't be supported by anything but denial of reality. Which, really, isn't so much supporting him as ripping on you.

      Your subconscious is doing things without your knowledge then. Weird cause you'd think typing the words out would be a but TOOO noticeable.
