    Most of it was Reddit, but the language is horrible.

    Starlight linked to her Twitter account. She appears to be claiming C) from my list.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Frankly...none of this has much interest for me. I think maybe I'll unsubscribe from the thread...

              Actually... I'm not as dumb as YOU look.


              And, with that - consider me unsubscribed. This thread is somewhat pointless...

                Are you calling me a liar?

                And after spending so many years on this site dealing with lowlifes like you
                I think you're the worst person on this site, so I find it difficult to believe that it's the other people on this site that have brought you down.

                there is no other way for me to interpret what you posted.
                As I said, it says something about you that you interpret it that way. You attribute such character failings on your part to years dealing with bad people. Okay. But they are still character failings on your part whatever their origins.

                  4. You're just a joke if you think wearing some clothes in a photoshoot is relevant to politics. It's beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel, it's more a commentary on you than on her.
                  Ask Nancy Reagan[1] if accepting clothes isn't relevant to politics.




                  1. Figuratively speaking of course.

                      There's not much to explain. Someone's personal spending habits have nothing to do with federal and corporate financial equality laws/regulations/systems.

                          Wow, you sure weighed in an awful lot for something in which you have "not much interest"!

                            Against her word you have... no evidence whatsoever.

                              Yes, all politicians tell the truth 100% of the time - especially when they get caught in a flap.

                                5) Why are Trump supporters jealous of the economic success of democratic socialism?
                                6) So? What do clothes have to do with her politics? Should she wear rough spun wool robes? Would you vote for her then?

                                ...

                                All I can find are excuses for why it's perfectly OK for her to do a "I'm just a working girl hanging out with construction workers" photo shoot dressed "to the 9's" (whatever that means)
                                I never disputed it.

                                Also 2, D, and 6, seem to be spot on. And if its C then the whole thing is moot.
