The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Umm, where, exactly, did I write that "the economy is fine, the border is secure, and crime is in retreat?" - CO

You didn't, you only denied the crime part. Lets review...

LM posted this,

“There is a hilarious YouTube video titled What NYC is Now mocking the disgraceful state of the city’s lawless state that is now a haven for criminals. --- LM

then You dismissed the criminal sentiment in her post the usual way of dismissing her source....

But sure, you saw something on YouTube and in American Thinker, rated "Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources, and several failed fact checks." - CO

My reply was a reminder that there are other realities your side regularly denies in addition to crime, genuine issues regular ol' people can plainly see, eg crime, open border, stresses on family finances.

In fairness, this is analogous to your side not understanding how conservatives cannot see the genuine reality that Trump is Hitler and will set about ending our democracy if given any chance at all. I have heard he may be making up a hit list to give to Seal Team 6.
