Honestly, there's nothing you can do with Spicy. She gets triggered and hostile whenever someone mentions something she doesn't agree with.

Ignoring her is usually a good strategy, though she does not actually explode upon every person who she finds disagreement on.

He basically had his watch beep, spouted off a long line of insults at put-downs at her, practically calling her responsible for the violence, then got on his phone right in front of her and left without letting her say anything.

That's not even horribly rude, that's just something beyond. Even if his messages were perfect, that train wreck of an ending would have ruined it.

She actually talked with him through all of his pretty nutty points, he then just suddenly insulted her put his phone to his ear and left in the middle of the conversation


I just don't even know what that thought process is

Anyone willing to do an interview with Sizemore for a CBS piece?

Note: he is a moderate conservative, and he's kinda sleazy, so make of that what you will.
I am a person.

Moderate, Independent, Christian, Anti-Trump, Pro-Bernie, and a bunch of other stuff.

And his message was far from perfect

I'd ignore her in RL, but Smith can't resist arguing with her.

I mean...he managed to get a meeting and have her actually listen to him, which was crazy, and then he had those just straight up weird plans, all right, but the fact that he cut the thing off with that whole fit-I don't even know what to make of it.

I don't think it's going to really hurt him publicly, but he made an enemy for no reason, and ruined a miracle opportunity for himself

I ignored her when she tweeted at me one time, and she never tweeted again, so this works.

The fact that a random city councilman libertarian socialist from Brooklyn got a chance for an honest meeting with the Majority Whip to discuss policy

Not that they agree on a lot, but there was a huge chance to find something they did even slightly, and let him catapult himself, or at the very least not tick her off, and maybe get a chance at a job through it

Was I rude yes, but the alarm went off and I had to go. Did I take a phone call, yea but that will come into play later. And my points are backed with research and fact. Her point was 'no you're wrong'. Instead of saying well here's what I think we should do about the situation she's literally turning a blind eye to the situation and to me think it's just going to fade out.
