It's strange that only I only ever hear what Qanon believes from liberals.
I'm guessing you guys get your news from Democratic Underground.
Your lack of curiosity re: Q-Anon is telling... afraid you'll find your source material and discover just how much bullshit you've been "consuming" lately?
@raphjd said in Libs claim (incorrectly) that MTG "refused" to applaud Ukranian Pres. Zelensky:
I do love how you can't post without digs at me.
Of course I can, darling - but since you take every liberty to claim my bias is towards Liberals, how wrong would it be of me to post an anti-Liberal message and NOT mention you to draw your attention?
come come - the lady (and I use that term quite loosely) doth protest too much, methinks!
In as much as I am constantly berating @raphjd for posting fake-news (not fake, as-in: unimportant, but fake, as-in: false!), I thought it only fair to point out that Trumpites and Q-Anoners arennot the only ones who use this deplorable "tactic" of "internet mudslinging" these days.
On March 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a virtual speech to the US Congress, where he requested additional American support in his attempts to defend his country from Russian invasion.
The Liberal media quickly started sending out notices - including edited video - claiming that Marjory Taylor Greene (MTG for short) "refused to applaud" for Zelensky.
This is a classic case of inventing worse behavior because the bad behavior you object to just isn't bad enough (a tactic often used by the Russian misinformation propagandists)....
The TRUTH IS: She applauded, just as (and at the same times as) virtually all of her Congressional compatriots did... Republicans & Democrats alike! Maybe not so enthusiastically, but she can be seen in several news media reports clapping.... at lest 4 times, if Snopes.com is to be believed. (I largely trust them, even if @raphjd does not.)
What has Lib's knickers in a bundle is that MTG has spoken AGAINST further American support of Ukraine. In her words: “If we truly care about suffering and death on our television screens, we cannot fund more of it by sending money and weaponry to fight a war they cannot possibly win … The only effect of more arms and more money from America will be to prolong the war.”

I don't agree with MTG's position - indeed, I feel that the West's appeasement and broadcast fear of escalating the conflict has emboldened Putin - a man no less despotic and World-domination-hungry than Hitler himself - into being far more aggressive and destructive (to civilian populations) than he was originally planning. IMHO, we can stop him here, or we can fight a much broader battle later. That said, there is logic in her stance. Pessimistic & myopic as it may be, it's a legitimate "America First" argument...
But this isn't about my views...
MTG and I disagree... about quite a bit, given that we're both Republicans, but on the whole there is more that we agree on than what we do not. She's not a moral pillar of the Republican Party, but she is a Republican, and a Patriot (albeit an extremist one).... and she doesn't deserve to be lied about in the MSM (though many of them have since retracted some of their reporting).
Just as @raphjd and the Russians shouldn't just "make shit up" to make Biden look bad (because, especially so in his case, there is so much REAL shit to throw!), the Left shouldn't be making shit up about MTG... attack her if you will - she's a favorite target - but attack her for things she HAS said and done, not for made-up shit...

@serenity said in Why people need to lead by example:
@raphjd Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded another. That is a fact, that even his defender didn't say that he didn't. The question was, if it was murder or self defense.
What? are you saying he murdered the survivor?
(Just pulling a @raphjd on you there!)
Can we get back to the original post? You posted a doctored photo in support of your "everyone else is as racist - or more so - than me" theory... and got called out on it.
I think if I were you, I'd just delete the whole conversation here... call it a mea culpa, and move on... you have the power LOL
The dismembered body of a woman (cis-female) was found in Brooklyn in early March... Cops knew where to look for the killer, and forensic science confirmed it: 83 y/o Harvey Marcelin, a trans-woman and convicted murder.
Marcelin had 2 prior murder convictions (2 other cis-women), for whose killings she had already served time, and was on "lifetime parole" for the other killings.
For the record, 3 similar killings makes Marcelin a "serial killer" (a definition, not just my thinking)...
As I always say: cite a LOCAL SOURCE!
I don't know whether @raphjd would consider either act a "hate crime" or "being racist", but somehow this shit always happens in my back-yard! (I live in Central Florida, USA).
So here's the gist:
In an odd (for Florida) twist, the black Pujols was offered a plea deal: 2-years house arrest, 3 years probation afterwards, 2,000 hours of community service, and he must take an anger management class. [The State of Florida has a long and colorful history of race-based criminal justice. A black man killing a white man - regardless of circumstances - is almost always a murder charge and 20+ years in prison here! It's also the underlying cause (triggering event) for our oft-abused "stand your ground" laws].
In an ironic twist, it turns out Cook was a registered sex offender - he liked to lure young men (and boys - which is what got him into trouble in 2006) to his home, ply them candy & video games, sexually molest them - and video tape the whole thing! (Who knows, maybe some of his vids are on here somewhere?)
Anyway - as I've always suggested: get the facts from LOCAL sources, not the national media: Here is the story from the local newspaper.
Did you see the SIZE of the "tumbler" that was in her bladder?
And they say it was likely placed there by "sounding"!!
I'm flabbergasted! LOL
@raphjd said in Always pay attention to the label, when shopping:
That's crazy!
But labeling gets outta hand sometimes - like there is ACTUALLY a label in my granddaughter's stroller that warns: 'Remove child before folding!'
What ARE we coming to when we have to put warning labels on hot beverages - that the contents may be hot!
@raphjd said in Why people need to lead by example:
Kyle didn't kill 3 people, so you got that wrong too. You were trying to make it racist by claiming that he killed blacks. You got sucked into the DNC narrative of "white supremacy".
Fauci, Biden, the CDC, the Mayo Clinic, and many others said that if you get the vaccine, you will not get or spread covid. That is the actual wording. Leave it to you to make up your own meaning to what was actually said.
I knew it was a lie from the start because that's not how vaccines work, but your fellow liberals got butt hurt and said it would because St Fauci, et al said it would.
You really do have selective memory don't you! We weren't discussing "killing black men" we were discussing "shooting victims" - the fact that one survived didn't change the fact that he (too) was a victim...
Yeah! That's the ticket! You KNEW all along what they REALLY meant, but it was the LIBERALS who got it wrong.
The fact is, a LOT of Liberal politicians got the "science" wrong - and some of them DID claim that the vaccines could/would do things no other vaccine could/would do... but not the scientists... they never claimed the vaccines were 100% effective, they never claimed "if you get the vaccine, you won't get the virus" - indeed, they didn't even claim "if you get the vaccine, you won't get sick"!! As with most science, they talked in percentages and likelihoods... not absolutes.
But at the time, the politician we were all listening to was Trump, not Pelosi or Schumer or Biden....
@hubrys said in Clinton-Backed Haiti Pastor Indicted on Child Sex Charges.:
I don't understand what the point of this post is supposed to be. Are you trying to allege that the Clintons knew Corrigan Clay was a child molester when they started working with his ex-wife's charitable organizations? What's your evidence for that?
If that's not your point, then how does this man being a child molester in any way tarnish the charitable good that the Clinton Foundation attempted to do here?
Are you just taking joy in the fact that a minor was physically, sexually, and emotionally damaged because it might, in your twisted mind, harm the Clintons? Geez, you mean your hatred of the Clinton's is greater than your empathy for children? Shame on you!
No, he's taking joy in the fact that the sicko child molester was - in any way or at any time - associated with the Clinton's.
Guilt by association - a common Trumpite tactic...
@raphjd said in Wyoming state Senate voted to end gender studies program:
It's your buddies in the DNC that want us to pay for people to study this shit.
Why? What political gain is there to studying the differences between genders?
YOU are politicizing something apolitical...
Why are you on the side of the "Big Gov't" here?
What was wrong with allowing the University System to decide what topics were worth academic study, instead of politicians?
Just so we're clear:
That makes perfect sense - IF, as you've demonstrated before, ALL of your morals are situational and politically centered...
@raphjd said in Why people need to lead by example:
Those are the places, that I know of, that claimed Kylke Rittenhouse killed 3 black men, even after the trial. Maybe you got your news from some "news" outlet I never heard of.
You also REFUSED to read the actual arrest affidavit that I linked to but claimed I was lying.
Likewise, you did the same with other links only to claim I was lying.
You can't even read the exact words written on a website without claiming it says the opposite of what is actually written on the page; ie Mayo Clinic.
you shit-for-brains moron
@raphjd said in Portland antifa riot bomber sentenced to 90 days in halfway house:
From Andy Ngo;
Portland antifa riot bomber sentenced to 90 days in halfway house
Gabriel Agard-Berryhill, the convicted rioter who threw a bomb at the Portland federal courthouse besieged by antifa in July 2020, has been sentenced to only 90 days in a halfway house and 2-years probation. When he was originally released bail-free soon after arrest, he violated those release conditions by returning to a riot.
I previously interviewed his grandmother in an exclusive report for the New York Post. She was the one who accidentally outed her grandson through a review she posted online for the protective vest she bought him. Gabriel had a tragic and dysfunctional upbringing. He said in court that he was handed the explosive by an unknown person. I witnessed myself at riots in Portland how antifa members would hand out explosives and weapons to random people. The goal was for these random protesters to take the fall if there was ever any prosecution.

++++
You guys might remember that this guy was outed by his grandma when she reviewed the fake bulletproof vest she bought him so he could go LARPing.
Have you seen the ugly old men who fuck those boys in the halfway house? 90-days of having to fuck them is cruel and unusual punishment! LOL
You're always smarter than the educated people, aren't you? In this case, you (and in this case, I mean Andy Ngo) - by virtue of your Russian News Media Feeds - know more about this case than the judge who sat through the trial!
And this is the guy you (@raphjd) post about today, and not the nut-job Jussie Smollett (fake hate-crime victim) who got himself an actual "Get out of Jail Free** card today?
@raphjd said in Wyoming state Senate voted to end gender studies program:
And again, you are defending a liberal shit course.
I'm defending academia... yes, there are bullshit courses, and no, some of what they "research" in "gender studies" likely isn't worth "researching" - but if you don't look, you don't find! (But the corollary is NOT true: if you don't look, it doesn't mean it isn't there).
Of course, you see ALL things with a "is it Liberal or Conservative?" overriding label requirement...
I don't think of academia (and Gov't intrusion on it) as a Liberal / Conservative issue.
I like mayo on my hamburgers... is that a Liberal thing, too?
@raphjd said in Why people need to lead by example:
Says the person who gets his news from Joy "I was hacked" Reid, The Root, Slate, and Salon.
That's the ticket! If you don't like the news, point out how bad the TV is!
For the record, I've never quoted from any of those places (and still know next-to-nothing of Joy "why-does-@raphjd-hate-me-so-much" Reid) LOL
@raphjd said in Wyoming state Senate voted to end gender studies program:
Yeah - that's the ticket! Pretend the genders are all alike, and prohibit any scientific study that might increase our understanding of why gender issues arise.
No! If you don't study it, it won't exist!
Nearly as absurdly STUPID as when Trump said we needed to test less to lower the COVID-19 numbers!
If you never walk into the forest, are the trees really there?
(In a word: YES!)
Prohibiting "gender studies" will not make trans people disappear!
@raphjd said in Why people need to lead by example:
Are you saying we haven't heard that kind of thing from white liberals before?
No, he's saying the image you posted was, like much of your material, FAKE
Why would it be incumbent on someone who simply showed your image to be fake to otherwise completely dismantle your "argument" - you posted a FAKE photo in support of a flawed (and racist) argument... he doesn't have to go farther!
@raphjd said in Trudeau says Canada will stand against authoritarianism:
Blah, blah, blah
You weren't active until very late into Trump's Presidency.
Trudeau is still an authoritarian, as are Putin and Biden. Just because they are not exactly the same does not negate their authoritarianism. Even you have said this exact kind of thing before, about others.
You pretend to be an expert in everything.
I post links and you refuse to look at them, even when they are official government records because it doesn't fit with your narrative.
By your definition, Trump was an authoritarian as well!
I am an expert at very little (mostly IT-related issues) - however, I'm a pretty good researcher, and I make my living using "critical thinking" to solve problems for my clients.
You, on the other hand, spout Russian propaganda as-if it's religious material and refuse to admit to as much as a typo of a mistake!
@lololulu19 said in Black middle school students are charged with a hate crime for 'beating up white students in revenge for slavery':
oh.. their punishment will be a 30 minute detention, and be hailed as heroes.
Maybe in your twisted world...
As I've suggested you should do in these cases, look for the LOCAL COVERAGE

BTW: At least as-of today, the video of the reporter (who interviewed 1 parent of an attacker and 1 parent of a victim) is followed online by a story about a dude who whipped out his junk in a Starbucks in Miami and started following these girls around....literally beating off while walking behind them! The girls took videos while the store called 9-1-1...
Florida Man is alive and well! I live in one CRAZY-ASS State! (People used to think if CA as the "land of fruits and nuts" - we've got more nuts in FL, I believe!)
