I did not.

Remedial reading classes may be in your future.

I see, apparently, the […] was inserted by an automated forum software:

Maybe you should take remedial lying classes to lie better.

Pitiful.

Look at the first half of my remarks in the comment you’re supposedly quoting from …

I saw that the first time you posted it. I have read hundreds (or more) high school essays, and many college application essays. This one was really good - and shows that he had an understanding of the nature of contemporary politics in 2000. It’s pretty impressive.

But what it says about him in 2019, and emphatic posting of an old high school essay, I am not sure.

But what it says about him in 2019,

Well, we know he’s smart and a good communicator. It’s a mixed bag though when you look back at past presidents; Reagan was pretty dense but an excellent communicator, Carter had both but put people to sleep, Bush Jr had neither while Obama had both and it got him into the WH. And on it goes.

Jeebus, wolander’s here? Haven’t run into him at all. Time to get out before:

Fair enough. I have only just started paying attention to him. May be I am impressed/pleased in part, because for the most part when folks from this state get into a national political spotlight - its people who were far right Senators or congressman/governor who become really horrible vice presidents. Mayor Pete gives a different representation of Indiana.

Just came to me. He would make a perfect V.P. pick. He seems not to be in too much of a rush for the brass ring.

As I have started watching him (really recently) that has crossed my mind. But I jump ahead of myself. I try to let all of the pre-primary period to pass before I start thinking seriously about my choice(s).

There was a very specific and very deliberate linkage of American government and American Jewish community while accusing both of allegiance to Israel.

No one in this whole discussion linked American government and American Muslim community while accusing them of allegiance to Saudi Arabia (or any other Muslim American country). That would have been bigoted.
No one in this whole discussion linked accused American government and American Russian community while accusing them in allegiance to Russia. That would have been bigoted.
No one in this whole discussion linked American government and American Turkish community in allegiance to Turkey. That would have been bigoted.
The list goes on – there is also American Japanese community which was accused of allegiance to Japan in the past. I wonder, will you defend actions of American citizens in that shameful episode of our history as “a patriotic duty”?

So what’s pitiful is your attempt at pretending that conversation was never about Jews while simultaneously accusing Jews specifically – and now openly – of allegiance to a foreign country. You really don’t want to admit being a certain kind of a bigot, but you are running out of explanations.

I hear ya wo, I hear ya!!

I’m excited to be heard by our thoughtful and progressive troll.

our thoughtful and progressive troll.

I don’t know if I like you liberally associating me to anything you’re a member of. Think I’d stand a better chance walking through the front door all by myself. Of course I would acknowledge your standing and position - if asked.

I’m a member of this forum, are you saying that you are not?

I wonder if I hurt your fragile ego recently or it’s a residual pain from 2016 conversations?

He’s all yours @cervantes Enjoy. Gotta go.

@chelsea530 You don’t need to know 7 foreign languages to make Trump look like a drooling baby. Basic English literacy should suffice

That’s possible, sure.

Also possible, and more in line with the evidence you’ve helpfully provided above, is that you are an extremely careless reader.

Another possibility goes well beyond carelessness; I’ll leave it at that.

You win the internet IN MY OPINION for the WEEK.

Just, YOU ROCK, khaaannn

I am on this discussion group every day, and I don’t recognize a lot of the posters who are denouncing CHELSEA CLINTON for being a problem.

Do the rest of you recognize these people?

Golly a lot of Dem-on-Dem violence here.

@darsy Yes, Omar has been trafficking in antisemitic tropes, and has been rightly called on that (whether she ment AIPAC, or Jews in general). Kudos to Chelsea for adding her voice with a mild rebuke. Disgust to the assholes that accosted her.
