Fact is the article was pretty well balanced. What it proved was that when you claim your opinions are facts, that is only half true. You only present facts that support your assertion and as we see, that’s not all the facts. That’s not the whole truth. That’s half truths. In other words, merely opinion.gounion wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 7:01 am The article did NOT agree with your assertions. But, like any good conservative, you lead with ideology, instead of letting the facts guide you. You pick and choose what agrees with your ideology, and ignore the rest.
What you asserted about the virus outdoors doesn't fit the facts. Trump's outdoor superspreader event proves it false. Hell, they even made everyone take tests, and it happened anyway.

She didn’t. She used the IRS as a political weapon.
Lib asked for someone who successfully ignored a legal congressional subpoena and I gave him a name. Of course she had help. The DOJ sat on its hands and did nothing to enforce the subpoena.
It’s good to have the DOJ run by a “wingman” of the administration and not a real AG.

AOC’s ‘Woke’ Whine Is Why the Dems Can’t Stop Losing
AOC’s ‘Woke’ Whine Is Why the Dems Can’t Stop Losing
Maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should have skipped the lecture, and just tweeted “OK, boomer.”
In case you missed it, AOC responded to James Carville’s blaming “stupid wokeness” for Democratic electoral losses and clapped back by saying wokeness “is a term almost exclusively used by older people these days,” adding that “the average audience for people seriously using the word ‘woke’ in a 2021 political discussion are James Carville and Fox News pundits[,] so that should tell you all you need to know.”
Rather than confronting Carville’s actual argument—that left-wing political correctness is turning off a lot of Americans and hurting Democrats at the ballot box—she’s smearing him by association and suggesting he’s out of touch with today’s youth.
Guess what? He is!
But Carville is in touch with the broader electorate, which is not representative of AOC’s New York district.

what a stupid opinion piece.

Young, liberal, Brown, and Black. You guys are as primed for white replacement theory as your MAGA cousins. Instead of blaming your own cowardice and indifference in stopping your cousins, it’s a lot easier to just scapegoat “AOC” the cartoon character for Virginia. That also means it’s easy to ignore the Dem wins.

And you want to cry about wingmen? See Bill Barr, who you never once had issue with.

"If you don't like it...." No, it's you who doesn't like it. Tough.
Bill Barr is perhaps the most corrupt AG in history. He was Trump's personal lawyer, and he buried the Mueller Investigation which cites 10 counts of obstruction of justice. But you don't give a shit. You totally ignored it.
You're the one that always plays a stupid both sides games. Then you always show you have no clue what's even going on.
Your comparison is like comparing jaywalking to murder.
It doesn't matter how low the Republican party goes, you will ignore it and claim ignorance, or put up some serious bullshit both sidism tripe.

I highly doubt it would matter to you what the underlying investigation is about. If it doesn’t benefit you politically then to you it’s jaywalking. That’s the problem with double standards. They really aren’t standards at all.
So don’t expect me to get all worked up because something doesn’t measure up to your standards. I doubt seriously you even know what they are.

You're pushing a false equivalence, as I said. The Bannon case is about over throwing the government. But you just don't care so you try to paint a both side reality, like you always do.
This isn't about my political views. If a Democratic President attempted to overthrow the government with his team of coupsters, I'd want action. You just don't care and you're projecting.
You don't even understand the apples and oranges context.

Re: The Critical Race Theory/so-called Cancel Culture Thread
As conservatives wring their hands about so-called CRT and cancel culture and woke, this is what their cousins are doing on trial for Charlottesville.
Neo-Nazis Are Trying to Hijack the Unite the Right Trial and Turn It Into a Horrible Podcast - Vice
Neo-Nazis Are Trying to Hijack the Unite the Right Trial and Turn It Into a Horrible Podcast - Vice
.Last week when he questioned defendant Matthew Heimbach, head of the now-defunct neo-Nazi group Traditionalist Worker Party, he took it as an opportunity to riff with a like-minded individual about antisemitic memes, Nazi Germany, and more. “What’s your favorite Holocaust joke,” Cantwell asked Heimbach. There was a pause, and Heimbach laughed. Cantwell decided to withdraw the question.
The fact that Cantwell and Spencer appear to have rather long leashes in court, and routinely seem to amble well beyond the facts of the case when questioning witnesses or delivering testimony without reprimand, isn’t unusual given that they’re representing themselves, explained Brian Levin, who heads the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. Judges tend to give pro se defendants a bit more flexibility.
“While it may seem, and often is, that the defendants are using their appearances to platform bigotry and troll the court, they do so at their own legal risk,” said Levin. “Key to legal representation is client control, and while ideology is admissible in the case, an exposition of it in a particularly offensive way is going to leave a jury with a bad taste in their mouth as they attempt to digest a lot of information. No lawyerwould advise them to discuss Holocaust jokes and other vile banter because it does nothing to help their defense.”
The trial is slated to last through November 19th, though there is some concern from both parties in the case about their ability to make their cases and give the jury sufficient time to deliberate in such a short period.
