    yum yum yum yum
    that jam looks nice
    blue berry jam on cream cheese on gluten free rice flour lightly toasted crackers would be divine !
    you could even do low fat cream cheese if you dare
    or maybe swap it out for feta which might be a bit too strong for the blue berries
    Feta lightly toasted with saffron & touch of white pepper to lift it slightly with paprika on a slice of organic gently fried(in 1st press virgin olive oil) chicken(or Tofu)


    EU leaders have gathered for a third day of discussions over a massive post-coronavirus economic recovery plan.

    Kinda think all that flew out the window following Obama's election--or are you gonna feign amnesia on that account, as well?

    Anyways, what happened to your lot? They were pretty open and blatant with the, uh, "thinly-veiled threat(s)/incitement(s) to kill" during the Obama administration, yet, now, with a president enthusiastically taking them out, one by one, they've fallen silent. Why is that?

    No, my "lot" has never made even the slightest implication of threat or incitement to violence or murder. You trying to justify your illegal behavior with a tu quoque fallacy doesn't help you any. And whatever extremists may have made threats against Obama were never endorsed by me, nor anyone I know. So you're the only extremist here.

    President taking who out, one by one? The fevered imaginings you use to justify felonies?

    I'm about as convinced of the veracity of these claims as I am about your claim that Trump supporters know when he's "joking." (However, I suspect, despite appearances to the contrary, that you probably know when I am joking.)
    And weren't you previously championing "freedom of expression," or something along those lines?

    I really don't care what goes on in your fevered imaginings. Probably whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your own objectively bad behavior.

    And? Everyone is free to just say stuff and bs on social media. It's your own personal problem if you take it all as gospel truth.

    It's probably your own fevered imaginations about many things including the way society should be that needs to be looked into and questioned.

    Well obviously the vast majority of posters on this forum certainly reject your own personal problems and bullshit even if under the banner of your so called rights.

    "Fevered imaginings?" And "objectively bad behavior?" I suppose that's somewhat like depictions of a penis being "objectively pornographic." I'm not so sure that I ought to be the one overly concerned with fever-induced delirium here.
    Are you addressing me here, or was that intended as a "note to self?"

    i tried to put a little distance in between your posts and the thread subject so the thread is not concisely directed off track to become another penis measuring competition between Ego manic political extremists

    but you seem determined to fight it out

    remember Sarah palin putting cross hairs on people as part of her election
    the republicans started it
    the dems complained
    then some dem did it
    and the republicans threw their toys out of the cot like the spoilt children they are
    more so after the base ball game incident

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Congressional_baseball_shooting


    [personally, i was amazed that only the assailant was killed, i think they realised that the guy was probably a really poor shot and/or so old & on meds he could not shoot straight anyway i bet the women that was run over by the nazi in the car and killed did not get the same level of medical attention]
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottesville_car_attack







    so yes parmalee has a point


    could you please start a thread about that separately

    Fevered imaginings, like your incredulity about what Trump supporters know.
    Objectively bad behavior, like committing felonies.

    If you doubt an image of a penis (not your straw man "depiction", like in an anatomy text) is objectively graphic material, go ahead, try posting one on this forum and see how soon you are suspended.

    Depends on if you're foolish enough to take everything Trump says seriously. I don't.

    Fine--an image of a penis then. But you do realize that "objectively graphic material" is not the same as "objectively pornographic," yeah?

    Could you provide some simple guidelines then for making such an assessment?

    Perhaps you could try using the confederate flag as an avatar and see what happens?


    so you think the president of the USA was elected and is being paid to be a comedian?
    A comedian who has a direct responsibility for the USA's lack of a united strategy towards mitigating this pandemic.
    I am sure the ICU staff across the USA think he is seriously trivial...

    The objectively graphic includes the objectively pornographic (hence the suffix -graphic).

    Sure, it's called the principle of charity. If it seems outlandish or hyperbolic, it's likely not 100% serious. And if you can't make that distinction between anything Trump says (believing it all to be either 100% serious or 100% outlandish), the problem likely lies with your failure to comprehend views unlike your own. If so, maybe try getting out of your bubble.

    Hmm...

    What word is more offensive: "nigger" or "penis"?

    The problem with Trump is that much of what he says is outlandish, or - more often - just plain wrong.

    If you're advising that he should rarely be taken seriously, no doubt you'll get lots of agreement about that. On the other hand, the problem is that he's the President, so what he says ought to matter. What's the point of having an incompetent idiot in the White House?

    What a bizarre thing to suggest...
    That the audience is to blame if the speaker is talking gibberish...or that the audience is responsible for misinterpreting the incoherent ramblings of a lunatic.
    How would you interpret a president that states that to solve the pandemic one only needs to stop testing for it? Then going out of his way to say that he was not joking...
    "I don't kid" ~Trump

    What's funny about the Trump supporters constantly trying to reinterpret what Trump says (to make him sound sane) is how often he tosses them right under the bus.

    After his suggestion about injecting disinfectant, several Trump supporters posted things about chemotherapy and experimental UV therapies. "Trump was being SMART! Chemo drugs are just like disinfectants. Don't you feel stupid now!" - only to have him say a day later that he was being sarcastic.

    After his announcement that asked the CDC to slow down testing, faithful Trump supporters said exactly what you said. "Geez, if you don't know when someone is kidding - get a life, loser!" Only to have him say the next day "I don't kid."

    It's a way to actually get Trump's supporters to look stupider than he does himself - which is remarkable.

    You may be close enough to "believing it all to be either 100% serious or 100% outlandish" that there's no effective difference. Again, "the problem likely lies with your failure to comprehend views unlike your own".


    No, the audience is to blame when they always stubbornly insist on the least charitable take on anything said, but hypocritically only from political opponents.
    The President never said less testing would solve the pandemic, but morons do believe any misleading headline that suits their bias (and they don't tend to read beyond what confirms said bias).
    The fact is that the number of cases doesn't mean much when the number of cases is diverging from the number of hospitalizations and deaths.


    You trying to lump me in with people who've said things I never have is transparently intellectually dishonest. I never said Trump was joking about less testing. I said what I just told QQ: "The fact is that the number of cases doesn't mean much when the number of cases is diverging from the number of hospitalizations and deaths. "
    But don't let that get in the way of your repeated and demonstrable lying. We all know you don't have the integrity to do otherwise.
