Just a few lines? Did you comprehend what he said in those paragraphs?

Add to this:"Sen. Lindsey Graham's reelection campaign posted an advertisement to Facebook earlier this month featuring a digitally altered image of his opponent -- who is Black -- with a darker skin tone."
The campaign ad, uploaded to Graham's Facebook on July 23, includes an image of his Senate rival Jaime Harrison that was originally published in the New York Times. The version of the image in Graham's ad, however, shows Harrison surrounded by a dark, portrait-style background effect with a notably darker skin tone."

I will admit that a clear thinking person who is straight with himself would not fixate on a single off the cuff remark and not let it go, post after post after post, etc...

Your observations? Lol Did you watch Biden field questions from the audience during his townhall meetings? Of course you didn't.Did you watch Biden fielding questions from reporters last month? Of course you didn't. Did you watch him yesterday on CNN? Of course you didn't. You fixate on a sentence and that's all you know...

Before you cut and run, I don't believe you watched him on the venues I've noted and, if you did, state the specific areas in those segments as evidence of what you claim...

Let me explain and I'll try to be as brief as possible. 

I indicated that you have adopted the tactics of the left and the above is proof positive that you have, since you just cannot fathom my response back to you.

Have you ever even considered that some people are just tired of dealing w/people like you?  smile

I guess it must just come naturally when people turn more left leaning, as you obviously have over the course of time I've known you on this forum.

The left has always been this way.  They for 3 years literally tried to DESTROY Donald Trump, not just throw him out of office, but DESTROY everything in his life.

They used the FULL FORCE Of the most powerful law enforcement agency in the most corrupt way they could as a way to lie about him, obtain FISA warrants against him, SPY on him, and they perjured themselves in the process by lying to the FISA court and getting a process to SPY on his campaign, sanctioned by the FISA court.

When they couldn't achieve their hoped for result that way, through Robert Mueller, they then attacked him through Stormy Daniels.

When that fell flat, they Impeached the man on ZERO grounds.  Even Alan Dershowitz was disgusted with them and said in no uncertain terms there was nothing to Impeach upon.

They then went after his family.

Now they are going after William Barr, one of the most honest AGs ever to serve and they are planning on Impeaching him.

Now after all of this that THEY DID to DESTROY Donald Trump, they have the gall to appear shocked beyond belief that he may not want to work w/them or even have anything to do with them.  I find that amazing that the Democrat party seems to think that when they castigate someone in the most VILE terms, and with the most hateful actions towards said person, and that person tells them in essence to F off, they are left scratching their heads.

So back to you, me, and the leftists here.  You say "You really cannot play the victim card".

I'm not, I'm not interested in BEING a victim.  I'm simply pointing out that I don't care what you think of me.

However, I'm not a fool either.  Now listen carefully here and maybe you'll get it, but I seriously doubt it. You conveniently and intellectually dishonestly ignored what I think was the most important part of my response back to you.

Why would I WANT to have anything to do with these leftist fools here?  Why would I WANT to have any dialogue with you?

Virtually every leftist here has used every derogatory term in the book to insult me.  You seem to want to gloss over the fact that you told me less than 2 weeks ago, what a lowlife SOB I was.  tongue

You told me that you wouldn't want to have anything to do with me and that you hoped you never ran into me on the street. 

Your implication of me was very clear, and now you deny what you were CLEARLY implying about me, my character, my temperament, and my personality?? 

LOL! 

The part that just amazes me, is your self-importance that you apparently feel about yourself. 

So let me get this straight.  You tell me off, then YOU unilaterally decide YOU are willing to lower yourself to condescend to me in offering your Olive branch of "friendship", and if I don't glom onto it and say "Thank GOD he wants to be my friend", you are taken aback and you cannot understand my dismissal of you?

Really?  Your ego is that large that you don't get it?

I just don't care.  What don't you get about that. 

I'm not interested in being friends with people who would spit in my face if they had the chance. 

And this isn't me "playing victim".  It is simply an explanation of what I think of your extended hand of friendship.

I'm just not interested Dude.

I know this might just blow your mind when I say it, but here it is; I really don't give a shit about you and your olive branch.

Neither do I have anything against you personally.  I'm just not that desperate to have a friend.   

I have plenty of friends and some I consider here on this forum to be friends from Afar, but friends nonetheless.

You and the leftists here, just don't happen to be one of them.  smile
"Let me explain and I'll try to be as brief as possible." Lol!

Looks like we're having a Flynn/Justice depart redux, too:
"A federal appeals court in Washington, DC, agreed to rehear arguments about the judicial branch's ability to question the Justice Department's decision to drop the prosecution of Michael Flynn, keeping the the controversial case against the former national security adviser alive.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday said it would throw out a previous ruling to dismiss Flynn's criminal charge and hear more arguments about a lower court judge's attempt to probe the Justice Department's move to dismiss the case in May."

"The union, which represents 2 million workers, says it will launch a 40-state, “Essential for Joe” voter turnout campaign."
