Show me where in this conversation I used "Legal Immigrants". I stated that just because someone seeks something, it doesn't mean they are approved for it. That is not a straw-anything. Let's try not to be sexist, shall we? There are a lot of sensitive liberals around. Edited June 27, 2020 by turtlespeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have the right to go downtown and ask for a million dollars a week from city hall. That's legal. They have the right to say no. Asylum seekers have the right to come to the US and ask for asylum. That's also legal. They also have the right to say no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was three hours ago, and you specifically said it was specifically what you were talking about. This is not a criticism but a genuine concern - I really think you should get an appointment with your doctor to check for early onset dementia because you keep doing this over and over again. It shouldn't be a constant struggle to get someone to remember their part of a conversation that only just happened. Edited June 27, 2020 by jakee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the numbers will drop to zero. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the same conversation. You were replying to me talking about the strawman Kallend pointed out. That is the strawman Kallend pointed out. It is also what you specifically pointed out as the topic of the conversation less than a handful of hours earlier. The fact that you would even need to go back to find out if you said it is again something you should probably have checked. Seriously, I'm somewhat worried for you. Quote I guess I don't take this all as serious as you do. I have more life than that. If you didn't take it seriously you'd probably be able to admit a mistake without having to add in nonsensical justifications and passive-aggressive attacks.

Hi Mark, From the following link: ‘On Saturday, Trump tweeted that a vote for him will be a vote to protect "our Heritage, History and LAW & ORDER!"’ https://www.bing.com/search?q=Trump+tweeted+a+white+power+video+this+morning&cvid=9ce6e893a92c4910857be0863a0bdd6f&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=U531 I would guess that Trump & I have different ideas on what LAW & ORDER! means.

From yesterday: Yesterday, Trump tweeted “I was going to go to Bedminster, New Jersey, this weekend, but wanted to stay in Washington, D.C to make sure LAW & ORDER is enforced. The arsonists, anarchists, looters and agitators have been largely stopped….” Today, Trump spent the day at his golf course in Sterling, Virginia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would hou be hating on someone with Crones disease, or diverticulitis? What about people in wheelchairs?
