ARGH, the crazy exclamation point lady is at it again: in celebrities: Malala got married!

I mean an exclamation point is ok if you know Malala and are excited for her. Otherwise it is just news. No need for exclamation.

ALSO, I am currently SICK of the poster who is hell bent that Alec Baldwin was to blame and should go to jail. I don't know if he is, because I do not work in the film industry and have never seen the safety rules on sets. This crazed poster does not know either, but cannot stop posting about it, despite knowing nothing about what actually happened.

Posters who use misogynistic terms like Karen and Jan to try to shut other women up.

How about Chad, Tad and Brad? They’re available. [/quote]

“Sure, Jan” is not like calling someone a Karen. It’s simply a response, and can be directed at a man or a woman.[/quote]

It’s obviously a put down. Don’t play dumb. [/quote]

No one said it wasn’t a put down. It’s not a misogynist insult meant to “shut other women up”, though. [/quote]

+1. It's a Marcia Brady reference, and it applies equally to men and women.[/quote]

It most certainly does not apply equally to men and women. If it did, we’d have “Sure, Peter” or “Sure, Greg” or “Sure, Bobby” because those guys made stuff up too.

Stop with the misogyny already. [/quote]

It's an actual line from the Brady Bunch. No one on BB said it about Greg, Peter, or Bobby. They had other stuff going on. "Sure, Jan" means someone is lying about something, trying to make themselves look good.

They need to come out as a Republican already.

Because there’s no room for them in your party? Because they’re not using the words “dog whistle” enough yet?

Because they are transparently not actually Democrats and they are just sh**-stirring. And it's annoying.

+1,000,000. Several of them routinely parrot Right Wing media talking points word for word and the post always starts with "I voted for Biden, but."

To annoy another PP in this thread: Sure you did, Jan.

Not the Jan poster, but you’re just making my point. Are you saying that a Biden voter can’t have buyer’s remorse? That they had all kinds of hope for this administration and voted for him, but ten months in, are disgusted and disappointed? Because this is every moderate Democrat I know right now. No, they’re not Trump fans and they’re not interested in switching teams, but they’re beyond frustrated with what their party has become, with all the pandering to the progressives and focus on issues that the rank and file American doesn’t give a crap about. But they couldn’t possibly be Democrats?! Or they are no longer allowed to be? Or are you inferring they’re lying about voting for Biden? Why would they need to on an anonymous board?

Of course no one is saying that. What we are saying is that the proliferation of these posts - that just happen to use right wing talking points and language - do not read as authentic. They read as agitators being agitators. And it is annoying! It's one reason that the political forum is so useless anymore.

Hey maybe there's just dozens of disappointed Biden voters who happen to sound like they spend all day in the Fox news comments segments. I don't think there are, and I think the people pretending are annoying. Do you want us to find them less annoying?

1) The racist who blame the white man or woman for everything gone wrong in their lives instead of taking ownership.

2) The idiots who try to change our vocabulary to avoid accountability. For example. Calling a obvious riot....a peaceful protest! I think when I see people throwing large objects at another and trying to run them down...that's a crime. Or the thugs beating up the innocent person are somehow elevated to the victim when clearly it's quite the opposite.

3) People that blame Trump for everything despite statistics and facts showing otherwise. They have some sort of Trump OCD, yet ignore our current presidents failings.

4) The sexless guy who obviously needs therapy. Another OCD in extreme.

People who interject Trump into completely unrelated posts. Come on the guy is gone....

Most sound pretty accurate unless you fall into those categories.

Yes! This one is the winner.

OP: "My mom beat us senseless as children, starved us, locked us in closets and left us alone for weeks at a time while she ran around with with her drug dealer ex con boyfriend. Now out of nowhere this year she calls and wants to come to our house for Christmas dinner. WTF?"

At least 3 sanctimonious old biddies: "Well, I'd LOVE to have Christmas dinner with my mom, but I CANT, because she's DEAD."

So you’re saying, Um is code for “I’m right and you’re an idiot.” Which is your basic DCUM aggressive yet childish idiot’s move. I say this as someone who hates Trump as much as you do.

Um… pat yourself on the back for signaling that you’re a basic playground b***?

Meh. Don’t think that’s what she’s trying to say.
