'berate': to criticize or speak in an angry manner to someone
'Being criticized, berated or scolded creates stress, and stress can have a big impact on your health'.
Those who berate are emotional abusers.

i have to agree with Agip on this one. It is a matter of degree, and while not an ideal use of the word, not completely wrong.
This is exactly the same arguement I have about Faucci and his recommendations and the range of percentages he uses to reach herd immunity. A slight bias of degrees is not an outright lie.

Emotional abusers do that.
Sally gets to choose one of the many female fans sleeping on her porch for a night of sex. But that is not abusing her Chinese virus wife. It is 'teasing'.

You also have no clue what abuse is and how emotional abuser dish it out. The problem you locked yourself in with agip is that you both are will to give a 'pass' to Sally who is one of the most abusive people on LRC. That is one reason she earned a multiyear IP ban from LRC.

As far as being a liar. LL always accuses me of being a liar. I don't lie but sometimes people will correct me and I might not remember that correction so will repeat that wrong thing. Not intentional.
As far as you being a liar:
You tell a lie.
You get called out on that lie.
Then you tell that same exact lie again later.
Claiming ignorance and forgetfulness doesn’t excuse the lies.
In fact, I think you are lying when you say it is not intentional.

Yes, this whole "thing" was boring almost immediately. Folks, if that's your biggest criticism of SV then you have *not* been paying attention.
Sounds like Trump is gonna sign the bill after making a stink (even though he had a few weeks to discussion the 2k with congress/repubs).
This guy seriously is the #1 worst president of the US ever, in the history. Fails, and 83IQ supporters.
It's not going to happen here, but if America can't find a way to discuss this problem, I'm not sure the urban crime/poverty cycle can be broken.
WSJ, about NYC:
Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 20, the city recorded 1,824 shooting victims, up nearly 104% from 896 during the same period a year earlier, according to NYPD data.
The number of shootings increased to 1,493 for the year so far, compared with 754 for the same time in 2019, the data showed.
...
An analysis of NYPD data by that office showed that 1,440 of 1,495 shooting victims between Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, or 96%, were either Black or Hispanic. During that period, 29 shooting victims were white.
While the number of victims has increased in 2020, the racial breakdown of shooting victims follows patterns in previous years, the analysis showed.
*************
So you can look at the increased crime stats and say cities are unlivable, or you can say that if you are white or Asian there have only been around 50 shooting victims of people look like you. Or you can say that if you are black or hispanic there are 1,440 shootings per year of people who look like you.
But none of this can be talked about - it's all taboo, for not terrible reasons. Multi-ethnic nations have real challenges that may not be solvable. We're all so tribal.
What trump claims he got.
nothing real. Loser.

Come on dude. Seriously? I have said numerous times that I mistakenly used the term "berate" when I meant to say "tease." I teased my wife about China and for not telling the world about the Coronavirus. China knew about the virus and withheld the information causing millions of deaths. My wife agreed that China screwed up big time. That is the MO for China. Let it rest.
Would an extremely intelligent person type berate when they mean tease?
Would you agree that Joe Biden is extremely intelligent. He said his son was AG of the US when he was AG of Delaware. You want that guy running your country?

One final huge fail of a terrible 4 years.
If you go on Breitbart and other ring wing messageboards, they are abandoning ship. They thought this was Trump's Last Stand, but he gave in like a little mouse.
Truly a terrible, ineffective, divisive President.
I love a good fruitcake. (Yeah, yeah, I know: You are what you eat.)
But nowadays if I *look* at one I can feel an artery close.
Still going with Section 230 BS. Still doesn’t understand that the protections in it is the only reason 99% of his stuff only gets flags instead of deleted.
If 230 goes away he won’t make it more than a week before he gets a full Twitter ban.

I love how he dangles the possibility of a bigger stimulus check coming to keep his minions tuning in while you know damned well that McConnell isn't even going to consider it. The question is, will this promise and McConnell's inaction heavily damage Perdue and Loeffler? A lot of rural GOP voters were probably elated to hear that Donnie was fighting to get them $2000 each and they need that money. This will crush them and they may not bother to vote on 1/5.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/nov/04/facebook-posts/battleground-states-did-not-stop-counting-votes-el/So the consensus is that vote countring did not stop, even though it did, and if it did, then so what? It doesn't mean anything.
Is that where you're all at?
BTW, just the video evidence of all the Republicans being sent home and then seeing the hidden cases of ballots being pulled out from under a table and being stuffed into the counting machines is way more evidence than anyone had for the Russian collusion hoax. Way more. WAY more. WAAAAAAAAAAAY more!
Remember, we had a 3+ year investigation into Russian collusion. There has been no high level investigation into all the evidence of election fraud. No Special Counsel has been named. No one has been dragged out of their home at 5 am with CNN cameras present. No breathless coverage of how all this means our elections have been compromised and that many are certainly going to jail.
This deserves at least a 3 year investigation with the most hard core Republican lawyers running free with unlimited funds and access. Why aren't we getting that?
You aren't getting that because no one has come up with evidence that a competent, ethical attorney, even a competent, ethical attorney who badly wants Trump as President, believes is credible enough to present to a court. The internet is filled with various accusations, Rudy tosses wile theories around, but when Trump's lawyers are invited by the courts to show their case, they back off all those theories -- even when appearing before a judge appointed by Trump.
Most people claiming that there is evidence really have little or no idea of what constitutes sufficient evidence.
And quite frankly, Rudy, Powell, Wood and Ellis have unwittingly become an anchor around Trump's efforts. Ultimately, that is irrelevant because there no real evidence of widespread fraud has emerged.
Disco, did T just make a huge mistake?
I can not believe he signed that pork bill. Is the Escobar amendment in that?
