In reply to the discussion: WaPo: On the 2008 bailout, Biden is right and Sanders is wrong [View all]NurseJackie

... the fact remains that you publicly and openly insinuated that I was dishonest or a liar or dumb. Rather than apologize, there's always a justification, always an excuse, always another hair to split. This behavior is much the same as what we see when it comes to Bernie's poor decisions too. No matter what, there's an excuse, or reason, or justification, or whatabout.
I think I'm beginning to see the problem here. Ugh.
I've raise three children of my own... I've seen this type of behavior before. Denials and justifications and excuse-making and trying to play turn-about and what about. Failure to accept personal responsibility. So confident that the entire world is wrong. This is nothing new to me.
I'm curious to know what people here think about this.
Oh good lord! Time to call in reinforcements? That's amusing and sad at the same time.
Do I appear to be calling anyone a liar, or stupid?
Yes... accusing me of pulling something out of my ass (or words to that effect) does indeed mean that you think I'm a liar, or stupid. (And I'm neither.) It's an insult, it's a put-down. I've not insulted you, I've not attacked you. But you have done that to me... and made excuses for it... and tried to justify it... and now trying to get others to take-sides it on your behalf.
You may think I'm stupid. You may think I'm a liar. But one thing you'll come to learn is that I'm no fool.

Sanders was not demanding prosecutions. But he wanted the bailout financed differently.

If the bailout didn't occur and the banks failed, MILLIONS of Americans in the 99% would have lost..

Brady bill. (And I'm sure there's a "reasonable excuse" for that as well, eh?)

Yes... because my response of "HIPAA" may have been referring to something other than HIPAA.
