US Presidential election

And I watched the video - no, that falls an awful long way off "proof" of
infiltrators in my opinion. The first obvious question I would ask is why people would be wearing "black block" (?), supposedly ANTIFA clothing, if they were "infiltrating" someone else's demonstration? That obviously makes no sense. And some people stopping other people, again that is no proof of anything. I did agree with something that Tarian said, in that my first thought was that it was odd that someone was using the US flag as a battering tool, but people do act odd.

What I will say is that the video is no different to the ones posted (by Buddha and maybe others) of supposed infiltrators acting "oddly" at BLM demos. the reaction to the videos on the forum is different though

Poor old, inoffensive Michael. What's he done now to upset people?
Not really my cup of tea but puzzled how so many seem to be so irritated by him since he became massively popular.

Your last sentence has explained it. He has become massively popular, which leads to jealousy

Would have loved Sanders but he would have stood absolutely no chance. That's why I was glad they chose Biden as at least he "isn't Trump".

I know that's negative thinking but it's realistic. No way were the USA going to vote in someone who actually referred to themselves as being Socialist. As we've seen in the UK, a fan base of a few hundred thousand believers isn't enough (although Sanders came across as more competent than Corbyn).

At least the world's climate will deteriorate slightly less rapidly.

Bernies voters are actually in the millions. For the second time the dems hierarchy stitched them up and forced him out of the race.
The billionaires got together and threatened to out advertise him as bernies money comes from millions of small donations. Formal emails in 2016 from senior dem leaders admitted as much.
Many of his supporters were split into reluctantly voting for trump or biden or not voting. Not sure what biden promised him to make him step down.

Gonna be a difficult task - the measure of success might yet be the time taken to restore some calm. But, on the matter of Pardons & Commutations, I must admit to not realising the depth and scale of prerogative open to the outgoing POTUS. Not to mention the contrast between the political bequeath of the UK Premier, in influencing a dozen or so knighthoods, compared to that of the POTUS, in influencing several hundred night hoods !

You said "you're a fucking moron if you believe that video" in response to Tarian posting the video. You are therefore calling him a "fucking moron" IMO

If you had said "someone who believed that video would have to be a fucking moron", then that is a potentially "suggested" insult towards Tarian, but it's not a direct insult.

I hope that is helpful, and will help you avoid any potential misinterpretations in the future

"you're a fucking moron if you believe that video"
"someone who believed that video would have to be a fucking moron"

Those two sentences have LITERALLY the same meaning. The only difference is that the syntax is reversed.

Who taught you how to read and speak English?

MM I can't follow this as I assume the other half is one of the "fab four" I've blocked. I'll hazard a private guess as which one. I suggest you press the ignore button, as I did. Much more relaxing.

If it's who I suspect, he'll love you taking the bait. Reminds me of a tiny handful of kids I had to deal with when teaching. Like Trump, he craves attention.

Edit: funnily enough I was typing the message above before you posted your request. I think I'll stick to what I've already suggested.

'58 any ideas?

I know that if you verbally started a sentence to me with the words "you're a fucking moron" you wouldn't get to complete it

I'm just trying to be helpful, you may think the sentences are the same, but in the first sentence the "you" is the person that you are responding to, not "anyone in general that may hold the same view".

Maybe '58 will be able to give the definitive response (but he will need to "view ignored comments")
 
Ref Biden
One thing that is for sure is that it’s going to be a fucking boring four years.
Jeeez.
World leader my arse.
Zzzzzzzzz 😉

Basically the person in question doesn't understand what the word "if" means
