    Just need to explain. People like Sean Hannity call these fascists liberals. They are as far from that as possible so I refuse to do that. Might as well call Kim Jong-un a liberal.

    A real liberal believes in civil liberties and is tolerant of the views of others. No democrat is like that.

    Why do I get the feeling that by Bill of Rights you mean guns, GUNS and even more GUNS, and by economic freedoms you mean the freedom to keep every penny of profit you make while meanwhile charging all public costs, particularly the environmental ones, entirely to all the rest of us?

    I mean the right to speak and have an opinion with out being oppressed. I mean a right to a free press. I mean a right to worship any way you wish.

    You actually think a country that has only had 26 Covid deaths has the right to go full totalitarian over that virus? What the hell is wrong with you? Wear a mask if you want. Hide in your little hole of an apartment and avoid contact with other people. How about hand washing?

    So no not just guns.

    As far as economic freedoms you libos want a total government takeover of huge sectors of our economy. Sorry I do not want a bunch of corrupt low lifes like Biden having that power.

    As far as companies keeping their profits? So what? Individuals still have to pay income tax and other taxes. What if a company never reported a profit?

    You are worse than Livia Soprano with the drama. So the presence of a virus that kills less than 2% of those infected is worth destroying our whole country?

    Does it look like the whole country is destroyed? Why be such drama queen?

    Yes.

    If we can be 'destroyed" that easily we would easily be knocked over by the first war that came along.

    I really would have liked to have seen your type in WWII. "What, ration books? and no tires for my new Packard? Aw **** those guys in Pearl Harbor, they shouldn't have been all that way overseas anyway"

    He didn't hold one. He held a scripted meeting with some members of the press.

    Not so. There was a video showing the crib sheet in Biden's hand, with the scripted reporters listed in order. It was available for everyone to see. It is sad with a president can't even decide for himself which reporter to choose.

    Please cite where the 'crib sheet' is revealed as such

    And please cite where Biden started to go off rambling on how we should all chug Clorox and windmills cause cancer.

    Your spelling on "I made it up" is a little off.

    Why not? How can it hurt? Conservatives have even less credibility than your average party dj

    You get frustrated when people don't do your bidding. Why?

    I get frustrated when people make stuff up and then act as if just repeating it over and over even when they're proven wrong will somehow make it true. Reality is not malleable and doesn't respond to bullshit about it at all. Thinking it will is a textbook case of insanity and the President is a clear victim and he's beginning to drive his minions insane right along with him. He has to be charged, indicted, incarcerated and imprisoned as soon as possible

    I never saw the movie "Gaslight" and so I don't know what happened to the poor woman. I hope the gaslighter got his just desserts, just like I hope it happens to Trump and in a metaphorical sense to the Republican Party for trying to do it to us all these past years.

    That anybody has proven me wrong is an opinion. Sorry.

    That's an opinion too and facts don't care about your ****ing opinions

    Wrong or right are matters of objective fact. Reality is not a matter of opinion and saying it is, is the first principle of gaslighting. Trump has driven all of his followers crazy using it but most of us are not so easily gulled

    There aren't many objective facts in politics. Mostly just opinions.

    Ok, so he held one but it doesn't count because he held a piece of paper. Got it. LOL.

    Sure I did. He held a press conference you don't count it because he had a pice of paper in his hand. Its fine, don't count it. Should anyone care if you count it or not? I sure don't care, and nor do I care about anyone else whining about how mane press conferences he holds or doesn't hold. Partisan bickering doesn't get any worse than this.

    I fail to see how pointing out the truth is whining but you can call it what you like. Nobody cares.

    Its true. He held a piece of paper in his hand. I'm not saying its not true.

    However, when you argue that the piece of paper somehow disqualifies the event as "press conference" it pretty much defines the word "WHINING" or "CRYING"

    Whine away amigo.

    OK. The crib sheet isn't the issue. The issue is that the meeting with reporters was scripted - pre engineered. It wasn't a traditional news conference. They aren't going to let the figurehead face the press. I don't really care and I'm not whining. I just wanted to correct the claim that it was a press conference. It was a made for TV event.
