What are you talking about? Who would think looting small businesses doesn't inflict economic damage?

Hey, you thought Defund the Police wasn't really happening and said "who believes that was ever a good idea" - so anything is possible. Sky's the limit with you!

So much for miracle of "Blue" education. It apparently takes a genius to defund the police. There's intelligence in this life.......and there's common sense.

Where did you learn to argue like this? Throwing in a crazy straw man & adding a couple of red herrings doesn't a winning argument make.

You mean what you just did in response to my accurate portrayal of what you actually said? haha


See, this is why I stopped bothering to debate you. We always get to this point where you go off track.


At least you had a decent run this time, by your standards.


Arrivederci.

I simply called out I-Man for pretending that Defund the Police isn't really a thing.


And, yes, it's absolutely absurd that it is a thing, and it has spread all the way to little Burlington.

Dude, I wasn't being sarcastic or referring to your comment. I saw it on the news and it was said by several people interviewed that Burlington has become a dangerous place. They won't go out after dark now.

Well said.
Everyone needs to eat!
Show some respect to a few remaining in the US producing businesses

Haven’t heard for a while about “team working together”- it is time for Americans to work as a team, find some common ground and build from there.

I am not a fan of Foulkes, but I am curious as to what you're blaming her for.

Or is this an attempt at humor?
