Biden thread III: Still Robinette after all these years

[JonnyA]

Removed some posts and deleted some insults. Try to argue without resorting to name-calling every post.

Then you’d know that it wasn’t a goal post shift and you’d know that Ikes took one sentence and argued against it, even though the point of my post was that Trump and Biden are different on immigration as a whole. You should have been able to tell that because Ikes is a fucking idiot and responded before finishing even that short post, he was not even arguing with what I said, but with what he imagined I said.

And now you’re saying I’m shifting goal posts!!!

You said Biden was not better than Trump on the border, then you ripped into Ikes when he provided examples of things related to immigration more generally than the border. He then said that Biden was better in the border too, and you posted an article and he pointed out a part of the policy identified in the article that certainly makes it look like Biden is doing something regardless of whether it’s enough, that is objectively better than Trump. You then blow up again and start taking about how Biden is horrible, leaving behind the comparison between Biden and Trump. Seems like a goalpost shift. But, whatever, how is that equivalent or worse than Trump?

I also said, in the original post

@microbet

Better in some ways and worse in others.

which anticipates all this bullshit from the very beginning, but then it wasn’t in the first sentence so Ikes definitely didn’t read it.

I’ve explained this already. Dunno if you read much either. Prohibiting people from applying for asylum because they crossed through Mexico is worse than prohibiting asylum applications because of the COVID epidemic.

Me too, but I wish they’d do one about how he’s not being prosecuted because he’s running, but he’s running to avoid being prosecuted. Stop that lie in it’s tracks

They could also point out that he’s facing two more major criminal trials

Keep posting baby!

It’s incredible the mods feel responsibility to protect Ike’s from himself

It’s more about keeping the thread readable and interesting for everybody considering most people expect to see Biden related content in the Biden thread, not you and microbet continuing your crusade.

Please tell me this is a troll

[Thickcut]

Interesting that you characterize it as a crusade. I like Ike’s posting here. Watching him flail around and make a fool of himself is entertaining.

I’m sure he is glad to have you in his corner.

Keeping the thread readable, despite several posters demonstrating that they don’t actually read

[Cactus]

I’ve been trying to follow this most recent back and forth and still can’t figure out what Ikes means

[Yuv]

ikes is the old 2p2 sn of CaffeineNeeded

[NotBruceZ]

I thought Cactus didn’t understand the meaning of posts by ikes/CN.

No I didn’t understand why microbet was calling caffeineneeded Ikes. From his tone it sounded to me like some kind of an inside insult that I wasn’t in on

Wait, you don’t know the story of ikes? Like at all?

[Cactus]

Nope. But I noticed it wasn’t just microbet calling him that. Others were too so I literally googled Ikes to see if it was some insulting acronym I wasn’t privy to. I was so confused…
