Ok... this was an exercise in how someone can say something, and someone else can take it out of context, then give it a new meaning that has nothing to do with the original intent. That's how I looked at it, and I'm sure Horace saw it too.
This is exactly how Trump bashers come up with 99.9% of the shit they throw at Trump. Now Cats knows what it feels like to have ones words taken out of context and then getting smeared with the new meaning, and how Trump supporters feel when they see it being done.
This same shit gets done almost daily here to Trump, and I am certain it's not because those doing it aren't smart enough to know better. So let's examine it:
Cats told someone (paraphrasing) they needed to get off the internet, take a walk". It was quite obvious that her intention was to convey a concern that the person needed to de- stress a bit, and "take a walk" was meant as a suggestion as to how he might relax a bit. That intent was obvious. BUT - she DID say "take a walk", and it's not for sure that Horace restated it with a new and negative meaning. What IS for sure is that Cats thought he did, and instead of clarifying her intent, she jumped Horace's ass. His natural reaction was to bite back.
This is how you Trump bashers do every time you say something about Trump or one of his supporters. An example: just today one of you Trump bashers took Gohmert's comment about how touching his mask might be how he caught the virus. You twisted his words to make it appear that he was, as you think of us, another knuckle dragging Trump supporter who thinks masks don't work. And the thing is, the person who did it is far too intelligent to even believe that. The person KNEW better. He knew that what the man said was that he might have gotten the virus on his hands and then transferred it to his mask because he had had to remove the mask several times. A perfectly logical, perfectly innocent comment twisted around for the purpose of taking a shit on the man, on Trump, and on everyone who supports Trump.
You TDS sufferers are past being ridiculous with this shit, and this incident shows you what it's like to have it done to you.
Now - somebody make me a damn sammich.

Good post, Larry. You gave a great assessment.
That's why I come here. I don't agree with everyone, which is why everyone comes here. Great place to hear different perspectives, and occasionally to discuss those perspectives.
The fights go nowhere, ever. -

Id like to kick the ass of whoever set up the spellchecker on this forum. And dont even try to tell me it doesnt have one because this is the only place ive ever typed stuff into and watched as it replaced correctly spelled words with a completely different word. I have to go back 2 or 3 times to fix things in every single post i make thats longer than 2 sentences.
Now... where's my sammich!?!?!?

A small price to pay to not have the fucking obscenity filter, though.

I reckon it was Klaus. What you're describing is basically the German language.

I think that borrowed from the Merchant of Venice - the pound of flesh idea was pinched

Does "fat" qualify as "flesh?"

Random observations:
Many of the jack-booted thugs are probably ICE folks that aren’t used to dealing with citizens with video cameras.
This was a strategic error for DHS. They’ll never get the Trump stink off of themselves and they’ll pay for it when the Dems control government again.
Trump poured gasoline on a dwindling flame. Too stupid to realize that? Or is that an electoral strategy?

Good, dismantle it. Wasn't it formed in the flurry of histrionic over-reactions to 9/11?
Education is extremely important.

In other words they are calling for a massive govt re-org. This is electioneering. Under Biden there will be a multi year study on what to do.
