"You're not rattling my chain."

...he pretends for the SEVENTH time....

"I already have some opinions about a few of them."

Without knowing if they're true or not, as you've admitted up front.

Sounds like someone prioritizes feelings over facts.

"The list is actually kind of silly."

People died, -------.

"Dan, it has become apparant that I seem to really rattle old BJ Boi's chains,"

The truth does that to him.

Watch: ask why, after almost six years, he still doesn't have ANY proof for his theory housemates were purloining mailed ballots to vote Biden in 2020.

"I would have to do a little research to find out what is factual and what is fabricated."

Spoiler Alert: ALL of them are true.

" Are you high? Dont type anhigh. If youre high"

Ya gotta love the self-retorting retort!

" If I responded I would have to respond to each one. I would have to do a little research to find out what is factual and what is fabricated. About half of the stuff I see from liberals complaining and blaming Trump is exaggerations"

So ... you'd have to do research because you (admittedly) don't know what's true or not ...

... but you're sure half isn't true.

Do you realize how incredibly STUPID that is???

"He speaks calmly"

Easy to do when you ignore facts that prove you wrong.

" Bill Johnson is either not alert enough, not smart enough or not sincere enough to be taken seriously."

Bilge was told by the Navy recruiter he was smart.

The irony of the matter: He's too dumb to realize that's what they tell EVERY recruit.

George Carlin had a great line: Ya know how dumb the average American is? Well, half the people are dumber than him!

Bilge reminds us there has to be a dumbest 10% as well.

" I've read all that before. Not my problem."

Translation: Bilge isn't about to face any truth. He'll run away, or refuse to read ANYTHING that doesn't compart with his fee-fees.

Those facts you listed? He'll pretend they don't exist.

"So why wasn't Trump given more credit at the time?"

Because he was undermining the actual science. Also, not really LISTENING, to the point where he suggested UV lights up the wazoo.

Where were you when the rest of us were living through Trump's inadequacy?

"Based on your wording before, I don't think I care to see another of your posts on this thread."

You're such a whiner.

What is this, five? Or is it six times you've responded to me since you said you'd never respond again? I've lost count.

If you're so afraid of facing the truth, be sure to SIGN IN, so you don't have to get your fee-fees ruffled.

"But now you're saying Trump had already shaped the masking, distancing, and closure debate before Biden even took office."

I lived through it. Where TF were you?

"Heard nothing praising Trump."

That's because Trump was endorsing behavior that put others at fatal risk. All while secretly getting vaccinated, and getting MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES when NO ONE was getting that protocol.

"But Biden this and Biden that."

That's because sense is better than nonsense.

Just ask Trump-appointed Dr. Birx, who basically claimed all but the first 100,000 deaths should be laid at Trump's feet. No doubt part of it was politicizing actions like masks or distancing...suddenly, folks didn't want a vaccine, so they could own "teh libz"...all the way to the morgue.

"But blaming Trump for every alleged vaccine problem or for the mandates and coercive policies imposed later under Biden makes little sense."

Was your head up your ass???

By the time Biden took over, Trump had politicized masking, distancing, and closures. It became a political act to refuse guidelines ... just ask Herman Caine.

Remember when HRC made $100,000 on cattle futures?

Seems quaint now, doesn't it.

"Who has the upper hand?"

Xi, who has his hand up Putin's arse, who has his hand up Trump's arse.

"Jeanine Pirro needs to be thrown in prison."

Here's the rub: Pirro had no evidence. So the grandiose statements she made OUTSIDE the courtroom must be treated as puffery or free speech.

However, once INSIDE the courtroom, Pickled Pirro knows she needs EVIDENCE to even UTTER certain words. "Vandalized" is probably one of those words.

"Fraud" definitely IS one, hence the fact Team Trump screeches FRAUD from every podium, yet to date has NEVER UTTERED that word in court, except to say to the judge they were decidedly NOT claiming fraud.

Thank God I wasn't drinking coffee!

My guess, for history:

Rand Paul has access to classified information Fauci has been associated with GoF experiments in the past. Frankly, America's leaders would be bereft if we didn't.

Paul asks Fauci a question he knows Fauci can't legally answer truthfully, without violating his (Higher) loyalty to Top Secrets.

Conclusion: Rand Paul's an -------, whose ego is larger than his concern for the safety of America or Americans.

"Because he was lied to and didn't know it"

What a moron.

He was explained the science, and recounted to the country they should consider UV lights up their arsenal.

"How was Trump supposed to know how much he was lying?"

Let's say. for argument's sake, America was doing some (still Top Secret) GoF?

What do you, new American, want Fauci to answer?

"The creation of SS and Medicare is why the debt is so large"

Admit you don't understand math, without using those specific words.

"SS, Medicare, and Medicaid are 41% of the budget, not 2/3."

Ah, the easy DEMONCRAT mistake. According to Republican Math, 2/3rds IS 41%. Prove Me Wrong, My Supreme Court!

(Narrator: Clearance Thomas wrote the majority opinion: "YES, 2/3rds IS 41%". It was their final, most essential command.)

"entitlements are 2/3rd of the US budget."

And how much of the revenues?

The only real effect is the gap between income and outgo. That's why nobody complained between the time Reagan raised rates to over-collect, until the time the equation went South around 2011...something we'd seen coming for roughly half a century.

Right now. an additional point for both the worker and the employer would put the SS equation into a stable position for the next 75 years...aka "perpetuity" in the actuarial world. It's costly (a 16% increase), but the alternatives are reduced payouts. We'll probably go to a means-test for it as well.

BTW, anyone who uses the term "Ponzi scheme" when referring to SS doesn't understand the definition. Or the math.

"The creation of SS and Medicare is why the debt is so large"

Nonsense. The spending of the payments which should've gone into the funds is why the debt is so large. That, and Republican-authored tax cuts.

Basic math question: If you're running deficit budgets, and you extend otherwise expiring tax cuts...does that represent 100% NEW borrowing?

Yes or No?
