They’re real pieces of work Nancy, ain’t they just? How in hell am I supposed to remember where/when I read that comment attributed to Kirk?

Once in a discussion about slavery, some ass asked me to provide a “link”…my replywas that I’ve literally read hundreds of real, actual BOOKS on the US Civil War and related subjects such as slavery.

People 🙄

I agree, gypsy. I was once challenged by another commenter on a NYT’s article about some Jewish students feeling “uncomfortable” during the anti-genocide protests at Columbia by pointing point

out that the only students to have actually have been physically assaulted during the protests were pro-Palestinian. I repeated what I had read in a number of articles about several students having been hospitalized after being sprayed at close range with a chemical used in war by a number of IDF members who were also students at the university. The commenter accused me of making it up and said she wouldn’t believe it without citations. I responded that I had first seen the story reported on the front page of the NYT, the very paper in which we were commenting.
