The BRD ignore function is by definition selective: Fake moderators like Sicko cannot be ignored, and when a fake moderator quotes an ignored "person", that content also cannot be ignored.
Maybe if you think real hard, you can comprehend these facts.
Really?
I don't think anyone knew that.
Why don't you tell us all more about it please?
You claim to be a mod here and you don't know how the ignore funciton works (or doesn't work)?
Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Clueless useless. Wanna bet that he was the kid who couldn't figure out why everyone was kicking him until someone told him that there was a sign on his back asking people to kick him.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

House Judiciary Committee Republicans claimed in a letter on Wednesday that the FBI conducted investigations into Americans based on allegations that they threatened local school boards, citing whistleblowers from the agency....
Most Americans want threats against school boards to be investigated, no matter who is making them. Good on Garland and the FBI.

You, like me, seem to have missed the 1976 incident.
But anyway, reporting that Clapton says he thinks Britain should be an all-white country or that he favors a particular politician is not the same as reporting that Clapton says vaccines kill people.
It occurred to me, though, as I read about the 1976 rant, that people were much more willing to let stuff like that blow over than they are now. Today, anybody saying anything close to that would be dead in the water. Hell, today, anybody who said something like that 30 years ago is still in jeopardy.
Dead in the water . . . or a former staffer for the former PINO, or a congressperson from WNC, Panhandle FL, rural GA or western CO.
Well, yeah, they could be those. But smelly fish might also be considered "dead in the water." I was thinking more in terms of entertainers who get "cancelled" for their comments.
[note for Ulysses: the people referenced as "congressperson" are not really smelly fish]
Is that giving Useless a metaphorical smelly fish slap?
... Those living in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of counties that voted in comparable percentages for Biden, NPR reported....
According to an analysis released by Brown University this month, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated.
And political affiliation continues to be the largest predictor of vaccination status, according to the non-partisan think tank the Kaiser Family Foundation. In the NPR study, 81% of adults were vaccinated in the counties that went strongly for Biden, compared to 60% of adults in counties that went for Trump.
The Brown study found that states that went most heavily for Trump ― including West Virginia and Wyoming ― had among the highest rates of preventable deaths. States that voted heavily for Biden ― such as Massachusetts and Vermont ― had among the lowest.
Democratic areas initially suffered some of the highest death rates from the pandemic because COVID-19 first hit hardest in major metropolitan areas. But Republican areas surpassed those death rates once vaccines became available and residents there opted not to get them.
Many COVID-19 deaths occurred in 2020 before vaccines were available. But half of the deaths after that could have been averted if all adults in an area were vaccinated, according to the Brown study.
After the beginnings of the pandemic, which hit cities hardest, statistics gathered in various studies have consistently demonstrated significantly higher COVID-19 cases and death rates in Republican areas over Democratic areas....
Are there races where this discrepancy will make the difference?

The USA Special Olympics lifted its COVID-19 vaccine requirement for athletes on June 2 after the state of Florida threatened to fine the organization $27.5 million for a violation of state law, according to a letter obtained by ABC News reporter Jay O’Brien.
The Florida Department of Health argued that state law prohibited the organization from barring unvaccinated athletes from competing in the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games in Orlando this weekend. The department planned to assess 5,500 fines of $5,000 unless the Special Olympics pulled its vaccine mandate, per the letter.
...
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been a staunch opponent of virtually every COVID-19 restriction since the virus surfaced in early 2020, applauded the Special Olympics' decision to reverse its vaccine mandate on Friday.
"Finally, we can report that all the athletes will be allowed to compete regardless of vaccination status," he said at a news conference. "This will be a relief to a lot of athletes."
DeSantis was named an honorary co-chair of the 2022 Special Olympics last year.
This isn't the first time DeSantis has strong-armed an organization because of differing opinions. He recently blocked $35 million in state funding for a new Tampa Bay Rays training facility after the team spoke out against gun violence this week. DeSantis also changed Disney's special governing status in Florida because the company publicly opposed a state law that banned classrooms from teaching students about sexual orientation and gender identity.
Has DeSantis no shame? Can we expect a "Special" superspreader event among an especially vulnerable population?

Bet the vast majority of the athletes are vaccinated.
Probably, but vaccination is not 100% protection and there's also family, friends, caregivers, spectators, media, vendors and facilities staff. Pretty large pool of Covid reservoirs and potential sufferers.
DeSantis doesn't care. He knows that vaccine mandates won't be the end of the world. If the courts fish slap him he'll just whine about them being "librul", and he'll remain a hero to the COVIDiot masses in the 2024 primaries.
