Apparently, it's the ruination of a good bottle of champagne.

All I did was hit the quote button. I didn't change a single character of your post. Nothing dishonest about that. Yet you call me dishonest now... And you speak of shame...
@DB
BS. You accused me of needing a safe space. I need no such thing and said nothing about a safe space. That is  dishonesty. and yes, shame on you for not admitting it.

Here's what you said regarding honesty: "What is unbelievable is that post was a quote taken from I post I made and you make it look like I posted it. How dishonest of you."

You said I altered what you posted to make you look bad and that I had no shame because of that.

I changed nothing which is self evident. Talk about dishonest.

You can't even admit you made a mistake. You instead twist it into something else. I expected more from you.

Wow.

There is a quote (with quotation marks *****rollingeyes*****) in the article.

I simply asked if that was what he really said (no one has claimed otherwise).

What is quoted is confusing at best, and open to multiple interpretations.

Several here clearly interpret his word soup in the most positive light they can.... and clearly you are among them.

I just think that, since he is unable to speak cogently, he should be at the ready to have an interpreter around to say what he really meant to say.

Perhaps you should volunteer.  wink777
Am not sure what quote you are referring to.  One does not need to place "If he said it" if one has a direct quote.  Where is that quote?

Unlike your assertion of my bias, I am simply asking where is the quote that backs up the claim?

I looked in the article and cannot see a quote that backs up the headline.

Thanks...

I try so hard here to make everyone happy....I have had people give me ultimatums that they would leave unless I ban people...I have had a what I supposed a dear friend leave and start her own forum for Trump fans only yet she lets people in that she has told me she couldn't stand and wanted them banned...the hypocrisy is breathtaking...

I have had enough of this shit of walking on a tightrope trying to please...All I can say if you hate it here just leave you don't contribute anything here but angst and stomach pains for me.

I can't take it anymore.

If you take the time to read though this thread, you will find that the vast majority of thread contributors are challenging the veracity of the claim.  And they do so without having to denigrate the entire site.  Nothing toxic about that.

For my Mimosas, I use cheap-ass California Sparkling White, with Sunny-D-Lite.  No point in ruining good bubbly.

There is also Tequila Sunrise Mimosas.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

   @ArneFufkin you never seem to amaze me in your ability to display your dislike, in general at times, for this site and its members.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I have no idea what a mimosa is.  :shrug: :tongue2:

You can make your own version of course but:

Mimosas are supremely simple bubbly cocktails made with sparkling wine and orange juice. They’re light, fizzy and easy to sip.

When I first started dating my hubby his family invited me over for Easter brunch.  We started at 10:00 after the church service and they went through a case of champagne drinking Mimosas by noon. I had to take a nap by 1:00.  Those were the good ole days!

@ArneFufkin   --- come on -- and join us for some bottomless Mimosas -- do you prefer plain or the tequila sunrise version?

That is so low.

There are sites out there that would have zotted someone for saying that.

Some people you will never please.  I'm reasonably sure they are miserable people whose whole purpose in life is to make everyone else just as miserable as they are.

I think you and the other mods do an excellent job of keeping this site going as a place to exchange political views. As you said, if anyone is that unhappy with this site, they can always go elsewhere.  I'll even hold the door open for them.

Hogwash! This forum welcomes those who agree with everything the President does, those who disagree with everything the President does and those who are somewhere in the middle.

That is an outright lie.

And a stupid one at that.

I looked in the article and cannot see a quote that backs up the headline.

Here is the quote in the article....  (in quotes)

“If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better, and then when you do have a death, like you’ve had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York,"

I didn't say that it "backed up the headline." 

I said it was word soup that needed an interpreter to make it clear as to what he was actually trying to say. (It is, and it does).

The part about your being the interpreter was a joke.

End of discussion.
