Sounds like she was being polite... As in, "would you like more tea?" With the response being, "no, thank you." This is what women have long been taught to do in "polite society" and perhaps you are over-thinking???

Paul4747 replies on Feb 7, 2019:

@Trajan61 Let's address the estate tax BS issue once again. The individual exemption, *before* the Trump tax cut for the rich, was $5.5 *million* for individuals, $11 million for couples. Farm real estate averaged just over $3000 an acre last year according to the Farm Journal https://www.agweb.com/article/farm-real-estate-value-averaging-3140acre-for-2018/. If you can do math, that means (just as a rough example) you can have a farm of almost 2000 acres before paying a dime of estate tax as an individual. The average farm size, according to the 2012 census, is 434 acres. If you have a 2000 acre farm, you're not a small farmer. If you're paying estate tax, even with the cost of machinery and buildings, you're not a small farmer. A small farm is not worth $5.5 million dollars. Even the Farm Bureau couldn't find a single family farm that was lost because the family had to come up with money for the estate tax. Here's some information from a few years ago, from Americans for Tax Fairness: these figures refer to 2013. "The estate tax raised $8.5 billion in 2012 — less than 1% of the $1.2 trillion inherited that year. Only 1 out of every 700 deaths results in paying the federal estate tax today. The vast majority of estates — 99.9% — do not pay federal estate taxes. The estate tax will raise $225 billion over the next 10 years. This is more than the $164 billion 10-year shortfall in the highway and mass transit trust funds. The Walton family — which owns half of Walmart — has exploited a loophole in the estate tax to avoid paying $3 billion in estate taxes. This could increase by tens of billions in the future. Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson has exploited a loophole that allowed him to pass $8 billion to family members and avoid $2.8 billion in estate taxes." One of the biggest scams the Republican party ever pulled was tricking average working people into believing they're among the top 0.1% richest in the nation and therefore have to be afraid of the big bad estate tax. It's only the super-wealthy that pay this tax, and that's who it is explicitly intended for. That's the only people Democrats want to have this tax apply to. Will you Republicans *please* FFS drop the estate tax crap, or else just admit you stand for rich people not paying taxes and you don't give a shit about anyone else.

My point still stands: *Learn to use standard English*, please. That would prevent such easily preventable misunderstandings. You would communicate what points you have more clearly. This is part of the reason the current occupant of the White House seems like an imbecile; he writes misspelled and unpunctuated posts on Twitter which would fail a 6th grade English exam.

@BD66 Unskilled labor costs the same no matter who's doing it. Immigration is not the problem. The fact that you've swallowed that red herring just means that I shouldn't waste my time with you. But I'm going to anyway, because I hope that even you can understand: The change in the business ethos (which Trump perfectly embodies) is the problem. In the 50s, you hired into a company, did your time, were rewarded with a living wage, benefits, and after 25 or 30 years, a pension. But the relentless demand for more and faster profits, not just yearly, but quarterly, and regardless of the long-term health of the company, led to a stripping away of everything that did not maximize profits. Companies were torn apart and sold off for their assets, the employees left to fend for themselves. Greed was good. Now everything is geared to the short term, and the only rewards go to those at the top, for wringing the most money out of the company, the most productivity out of every employee, the best numbers out of the quarterly statement. And if the company goes bankrupt, somehow the top management still come out millionaires.The only losers are the employees. Government is supposed to negate the worst excesses of the capitalist economy, not encourage them. But under the Republicans, and especially Trump, we have a group who actively cheer for the wealthy and tell everyone else, "If you're poor, it's your fault for not being born into the right family, for not being in the right place at the right time, for not being good enough." They don't have the guts to come right out and say it, of course, but that's the message of the Republican prosperity gospel; if you're not rich, it's because God hates you.

@Trajan61 I don't know why I waste my time replying to you, but: 1) Iran *has been living up to their side of the agreement*, even after Trump's imposition of sanctions. That will likely end soon, however, as there is now much less incentive for them to do so. The agreement, as several have pointed out, was international, it wasn't simply President Obama; the deal was with the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Counsel plus Germany. The UK, Germany, Italy, Oman, South Korea, Pakistan, and the Vatican all expressed their support and confidence in the agreement. In other words, a bunch of diplomats and statesmen who are much more skilled in world affairs than either of us. I tend to put my stock in them, not in you. 2) The President does not "make" regulations. The Congress passes bills, the President signs them. Check your Civics 101 textbook. If President Obama's term was so harmful to business, please explain how he presided over our recovery from the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. 2.A Operation Fast & Furious was a gunwalking sting operation carried out under the Arizona office of the ATF, and was targeted at so-called "straw purchasers", in other words, people who buy guns and then illegally resell them to someone else. 'According to twenty-year ATF veteran Jay Wachtel, letting guns "walk" has been a practice done in a controlled manner that involved surveillance and eventual seizure of the weapons. "The idea was that you would follow it long enough until you were sure you had enough probable cause".' The idea was to track the guns to the cartels and then arrest the cartel leaders. The operation was poorly carried out and guns were lost. Tragically, one of them was used to kill Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. President Obama had no part in authorizing the operation, your statement is a right-wing fantasy, 3) He does favor a ban on certain types of guns, with which I disagree. He also favors improved background checks, with which I agree wholeheartedly. Don't you? But whatever his opinions, the fact remains that not a single proposal for any gun ban was proposed by President Obama during any of his eight years in office, not even a renewal of the Brady Bill. And he never proposed confiscation of anyone's legally owned guns. In fact, gun ownership skyrocketed during his term. President Obama was the best thing to ever happen to the gun industry. 4) He favored lower taxes on the middle class and no taxes on the poor. He favored getting government out of our private lives. Regulating industrial polluters and the financial sector, on the other hand, where billionaires get rich by ripping off small investors (sort of the way Trump made his money), is another story. 5) Here are President Obama's full remarks on the ...

He thinks the negative replies are just jealousy... he doesn't actually believe there's such a thing as honest intellectual criticism in this world. People don't disagree with his opinions, they hate him personally. Of course, there's a considerable overlap there...

I still don't understand why someone hasn't taken away his phone. Seriously. Just tell him "no, you can't tweet anymore", and be done with it. His twitter usage has proven to be a national security threat. The NSA would be within it's rights to snatch that phone away from him, and not give him ...

Slate Ann Coulter on Her Support of Trump: “OK, I’m a Very Stupid Girl”

Let's be clear, she's not admitting that supporting Trump was stupid; she's saying she was stupid to believe his promises not to fold on the Wall standoff.

@PalacinkyPDX I don't feel like I put it ahead of anything else. I said, "IF she weren't a rabid Republican mouthpiece". The rabies negates all else for me. Sort of the way it's really, really hard for me to watch a Mel Gibson movie anymore, knowing the things he has said.

@SilviaPark The way you ask the question tells me you won't agree with any answer I give. Many individuals, no matter their ethnicity, no matter their gender, have great lives in America. Oprah?

Katharine Graham? Michelle Obama? How about Michelle Obama? More powerful women and persons of color (and I dare say more powerful women of color) live and work in the United States than in any other nation. Our history is what it is, but our progress is incredible. It still needs to be better, so that more share in the progress.
