wow. yeh i dont see that.At worst, you’re in it with them.
I would say both things are true, dependent on the other, and self-perpetuating.
I do, plain as day. It's not a recent development with Glennfs, either.
Some people say.but, its apparent that some come here just to fight and screw with other posters.
well, that sure is vague.which i suspect causes more stress
which is just what those dont respond well to.
sigh.
i see more bullshit arguing here than i have in a long time. it comes and goes and now its here again.
good for ignore.
If the poster is implying you or gounion or myself and drak etc are the ones screwing with others, FUCK THATcarmenjonze wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:50 pm I do, plain as day. It's not a recent development with Glennfs, either.

You might or may not have noticed what's been happening in the country over the past year, or that there are those of us in this country who won't be "screwed with" by the Rittenhouses, Gosars, Greenes, Boeberts, Rogerses, insurrectionist confederates, their mouthpieces, or their so-called moderate fellow travelers demanding "civility."
Be they online, or off.

Well..it doesn't take a whole lot of forethought to take vague swipes at imagined opponents from behind the skirts of the ignore function, if that's what she's doing. Who knows wth she's even talking about half the time, anyway.

Censures of this sort cant happen with McCarthy in charge, unless a Democrat puts his or her feet on a desk, maybe then.carmenjonze wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:36 pm Well..it doesn't take a whole lot of forethought to take vague swipes at imagined opponents from behind the skirts of the ignore function, if that's what she's doing.

MAGA are deadly and they're getting more deadly by the day. This is the second time another one of these white-replacement Republicans has been censured and stripped of committees this year, also for extremist threats, including against AOC.
This Republican-propped-up Rittenhouse person went to Kenosha to shoot 'em up, murdered people, and he's about to walk thanks to a flagrantly anti-Black defense lawyer (who also appropriates cvilrights-styl rhetoric when it suits them.)
But by all means, let's continue to sit around and gripe that RFL 2021 isn't RFL 2011, as if 10 violent years of increasingly-unhinged conservatism haven't actually taken place. :problem:
Yeah I misspoke - Greene wasn't actually censured. But there were a ton of bills about it!Libertas wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:40 pm Censures of this sort cant happen with McCarthy in charge, unless a Democrat puts his or her feet on a desk, maybe then.
I cant imagine how violent and ugly this country will be after the GOP refuses to certify the elections they lose next year and if somehow they take back the House.
Reminds me of someone today playing video of Chris Christie assuring us the traitor would accept the results of the election...and somehow he is back in the news and being given credibility. Christie would have sat there while Pence was killed, and even if he wanted to do something, BECAUSE he gave traitor the benefit of the doubt, he wouldn't be able to!carmenjonze wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:52 pm Yeah I misspoke - Greene wasn't actually censured.

So...let me see if a Big Dummy like me can understand this. The Republican Party has allowed itself to deteriorate to this state, certainly since Bush43, definitely since Obama, and undoubtedly since Donald Trump.
And yet we're supposed to sit around and sing kumbaya with them, or else.
In this thread, conservatives admonish everyone else to do what Republicans say, take Republican campaign advice, and quit uttering a three-word slogan that make Republicans nervous. Or else Republicans win!

It's like there is a gang of horses asses around here ganging up on the middle and the other side, and you are one of the leaders of that pack.
I don't generally harass and berate, however I do bitch back when bitched at. Carmen is an out and out race troll. Most of what she says about me is pure made up bullshit!
So stuff your god damned complaint!
Ya, i caught that but expected more than just the end of the chase.
[bold]The way it's being reported makes it sound like Rittenhouse had been pointing his weapon at "protesters" before the chase even began. i have yet to see any footage of Rittenhouse pointing his gun at "protesters" before the shooting.Prosecutor Thomas Binger said they should be able to view any video they wanted as many times as they wanted, while defense attorney Mark Richards said he would object to the jury viewing video taken by a drone that prosecutors said showed Rittenhouse pointing his gun at protesters before the shootings.
I said this in another thread where that ridiculous post came up. viewtopic.php?p=4690#p4690
This kid will make a nice comfortable living monetizing the hero worship the right has of him. He'll (ghost) write a book about how wonderful it felt murdering those damned liberals.
He really does symbolize vindication for them. Much like the people who run over protesters, and these neonazis on trial for Charlottesville, where that exact thing happened.

Conservative whites have been itching to do this since the Civil Rights movement put what the cops did in the March on Selma on the 6:00 news for the entire planet to see.
What's really interesting to me is, 60 years later, 30 years after Rodney King, these people are still in vociferous denial about that level of police brutality, even when it's up on youtube, dashcam, and bodycam like, yesterday. It's because they agree with it, and do not see it as brutality or civil/human rights abuses.
They never did, and don't now, either. Killing protesters (bradman labels them "protesters") against cops shooting people in the back is part of their rights as everyone's superiors. They've thought this since the cops were the slave patrols, and people were of the property-objects Kyle Rittenhouse ran up there to "protect."

I'm sorry brad. Can you clarify this statement. Who do you class as " non protesters" and which of those do you think he was pointing his gun at?
Self-deputized, armed conservative white males determine some other person is a criminal. They then self-deputize themselves to murder them.ProfX wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 6:32 pm I'm sorry brad.

There may have been people engaging in what Rittenhouse thought was criminal activity, but that doesn't mean they hadn't come there to protest.
Also, BTW, unless you are a security guard or officer of the peace, even if you see people doing criminal stuff like looting or setting a dumpster on fire, that does not give you a "right" to point your weapon at them and threaten them. Vigilantism is not supposed to be an encouraged behavior.
Ahmaud Arbery's killers also said they were trying to do a "citizen's arrest" on him - haven't seen any evidence he was doing anything criminal at the time (and again even if he was, they had no right to use lethal force to stop him).
