You are so fucking boring.

Just go back to licking Fauci's mangina.

You're so repetitive - and did I say you say the same shit over and over again? Oh, and you repeat yourself.

@raphjd said in DNC and Hillary Campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann indicted for lying to FBI:

@bi4smooth

You are so fucking boring.

I'm only boring because you're so repetitive! (and predictable!)

Oh, and you repeat yourself

Over and over again - you buy into the Trumpist idea that if you claim it often enough, people will start to believe it!

I'm not people...

Every time you re-spout the same lie, I'll re-write the factual rebuttal... and you'll keep calling me a liberal, a RINO, or some other useless name... as-if my political stances affected the FACTS!

@raphjd said in Snopes released from Fed lawsuit - with a vengeance:

@bi4smooth

Yeah, SNOPES has gotten things wrong before, because they are biased.

They play word games to justify their "false" claims.

There are plenty of videos out there that show it.

Anything not 100% in support of your Trumpist views is "biased"... Snopes is, in my experience, one of the LEAST biased sites out there...

• when a fact can be supported, they say so
• when a fact can be disprove, they say so
• when there isn't enough to say definitely one way or the other, they say so!

Videos from right-wing (or left-wing, for that matter) sites who don't like Snopes setting the record straight are hardly "unbiased" reviews...

So here we are: 9-months into a Biden Presidency... one that, as has been the norm very recently, coincided with his own party being in control of BOTH houses of congress...and what have they accomplished?

• We got out of Afghanistan! (We looked totally incompetent doing so, but we are out!)
• We gave out more Federal Money in an unnecessary 3rd Stimulus - leading to inflation numbers we haven't seen since the 1970's (yay?)
• We passed a (insert here) bill... oh, no... wait... we're still trying to "negotiate" between a Dem Senator (or 2) and a Dem Rep who is as liberal as they come and won't accept ANY partial victory! (You GO Girl!)

The end result is, Biden's poll numbers are (almost) historically low...

Here are the Presidents of the past 50 years RANKED by their poll numbers at 9-months into their (1st) terms:

• George W Bush - 2001 - 88% (mind you, this is admittedly inflated, coming just after 9/11)
• George HW Bush - 1989 - 70% (also admittedly inflated, coming just after Tienanmen Sq)
• Jimmy Carter - 1977 - 54%
• Ronald Reagan - 1981 - 53%
• Barack Obama - 2009 - 52%
• Bill Clinton - 1993 - 47%
• Joe Biden - 2001 - 42%
• Donald Trump - 2017 - 37%

That ranks him 7th out of the past 8 Presidents...

Is it just me, or are the Dems (excluding Trump-the-outlier) always on the bottom there? 8 Presidents, and 3-of-the-4-lowest are all Dems!

Here's to hoping the Dems can't find a way to get off their own dicks, and continue in this "do nothing" Congress...

If it weren't for the incredible shrinking Republican Party (still killing ourselves over stupid COVID-19 denial bullshit), I'd say we Republicans were looking PRETTY GOOD at getting BOTH CHAMBERS of Congress back in 2023!

Suck on those lemons, AOC and Manchin!

@lololulu19 said in Cock blocking servers:

Recently, I noticed that I have been unable to access some of my favorite sites. In some cases, I would get pop ups on my screen explaining that the sites were blocked because they contained pornography. That is shocking, because I only come to this site to chat in the forum. Who knew that there were images of naked men on this site?

Anyway.. I found out WHY I was getting blocked. It was due to DNS servers. One way to get around that is to use a proxy server - at the cost of having very slow speeds. A much better way is to run the utility DNSBENCH (remove the redirecting servers) run that, and select the 2 or 3 fastest DNS servers. Then, go into your ethernet and wifi adapter, and insert those DNS addresses into the IPV4 section. A much better option is if you use a router.. go into it's setup, which is typically 192.168.x.x (in my case it is 192.168.1.1 but it can also be something like 192.168.1.100... the x's always seem to be either a 1, 0, or 100) Then, go to the local connectivity and insert the DNS addresses there. The DNS addresses which were blocking me were 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.123 which are identified as being "opendns"

NEVER use your ISP's DNS servers... that you were using OpenDNS tells me that someone (maybe even you, accidentally) turned on their "safe browsing mode" - a specific DNS service designed for people who legitimately DO NOT want to see naked people in their Internet feed (or parents, perhaps)...

Some excellent choices of "alternate" DNS servers are:

• Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1
• Google: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
• OpenNic: 206.125.173.29 & 45.32.230.225
• Level3: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.3 & 4.2.2.4

And there are the "standard" OpenDNS (Cisco) servers (without the filtering): 208.67.220.220 & 208.67.222.222

I personally use the Cloudflare ones: 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1

@raphjd said in Snopes released from Fed lawsuit - with a vengeance:

@bi4smooth

Snopes has been proven to have lied on several occasions. There are threads here on the subject. Tim Pool and many others on YouTube have made videos about it.

Of course, you being a Chinese operative, want us to worship Chop Suey Joe.

Snopes has gotten things wrong in the past - and when proven wrong, they have corrected their site! Not with some little add-on later... they update the original post so that anyone ELSE who searches for it, only gets the correct content.

If you want infallibility, look to FOX NEWS!

If you want provable facts, Snopes isn't a bad place to start. And if you're butt-hurt because they expose your Russian Troll Farm dirt, so be it!

They expose Leftist lies as much as they do Rightist lies - and the research shows that to be true!

@raphjd said in DNC and Hillary Campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann indicted for lying to FBI:

@bi4smooth

It's funny how you have nothing worth posting, so you keep claiming I'm a Russian troll.

Say hi to Feng Feng for me. Does her vag taste like Swallwell's cock?

If you would just stop re-transmitting the KGB's mis-information news-feed, we'd all spend less time arguing about your Russian ties...

@raphjd said in Colin Powell dead at 84 due to COVID-19:

Are you saying I'm getting my info from you?

Take the focus off of YOUR bogus and inflated claims by pointing the finger at me!

Yeah, that's the ticket!

@raphjd said in St Fauci, yet again, proves he's evil:

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/medical-advances/578086-bipartisan-legislators-demand-answers-from-fauci

Dr. Fauci is a man - just a man. Not the Devil incarnate, not inhabited by an evil spirit, and not someone intent on harming people. That said, he is apparently the focus of many a nightmare for @raphjd!

Still, I'm pretty sure Fauci didn't drug any puppies himself - but he is answerable for the actions of his Department! If these allegations prove true, there will be hell-to-pay from MOC. Read carefully tho - "part of a $375K grant" could mean $100 to cover phone bills, for all we know yet! That doesn't mean the NIH role was minimal, just that it really hasn't been outlined AT ALL except to say "part of a $375K grant" went to this lab.

The sad part is, tho even if this is entirely TRUE, in all its worst forms - the lab in Tunisia likely didn't break any laws in Tunisia, and because the NIH sent this grant money "over there", they likely didn't break any US Laws either (albeint they certainly would be guilty of breaking "human decency" laws-of-common-sense)!

As a society, we rely HEAVILY on testing: food safety testing, cosmetics testing (remember the rabbits with their eyes propped open revealed in the 70's or 80's?), drug testing, you name it!

It's more expensive (and slower) to test without using (abusing) animals... but, while THAT is the morally right thing to do, but with businesses today hyper-focused on short-term-profits, it's not surprising that they'd take "shortcuts"...

Gov't doesn't answer to shareholders, tho - there should be no excuse for taking shortcuts with Gov't funded research!

MOC are demanding answers... for now, we can all share our moral outrage that this happened at all (if it, indeed, really DID happen - it's not unlike special-interest groups to highly exaggerate Gov't actions (or in-actions) to get attention for their cause!)... and wait for the outcome of the investigations!

It must be difficult for you, being a Femcel.

@raphjd said in DNC and Hillary Campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann indicted for lying to FBI:

AND YET AGAIN, you prove you know more about Russia than I do.

Clearly, you are engaging in misdirection, badly, hoping people won't find you out.

It's just like how you know a lot more about Qanon than I do, but you keep accusing me of being a member.

I wonder which of us is using misdirection - the one who gets his "news" from Russian Troll Farms, or the one who is technically skilled enough to figure out Google Translate...

Who is more believable: the one who seldom provides sources (because they're Russian made-up lies!), or the one who regularly credits sources (I took Composition in High School - I know how to credit sources!)

I'm satisfied to let our gentle readers make that determination on their own...

@raphjd said in Colin Powell dead at 84 due to COVID-19:

@bi4smooth

I concede nothing.

Oddly enough, yet again you accuse me of being a Russian troll, yet you know more about Russian than I do.

I believe the term is "misdirection".

Indeed it is - we've shown the paths from your misinformation and lies from Russing Troll Farms... the fact that can use Google Translate to create Russian text is an apparent admission that your own Russian to English translator is so bad... but your Russian Handlers won't avail you of such a simple (and far superior) tool!

@raphjd said in Beetlejuice calls cops insurrectionists:

Once again, you prove you know more about Russia than I do.

It's just like how your side had much more Russian collusion than Trump ever did.

I know you are, but what am I?

Yeah! That's the ticket!

As you may know, Snopes.com has been a favorite whipping-boy of the Trumpist movements - including a member of their own board of directors (Christopher Richmond)!

In a stinging rebuke of Richmond (and his Atty: Matthew Hrutkay), a Federal Judge ruled in late Sept that their lawsuits were "without merit" and were a clear attempt to harass the company. As a result, not only was the suit dismissed, but the Court also sanctioned the plaintiffs - they have to pay Snope's legal fees, among other penalties.

Background
Snopes.com has a well-earned reputation for UNBIASED evaluation of FACTS. Founded by a husband & wife (now divorced), in 1994, and becoming Snopes.com in 2003, it established itself as a defacto reference for debunking "urban legends" and "myths". It has been referenced by many major media outlets over the years.

Things with Snopes.com got "dicey" in 2014 when the couple were divorced - they split the "company." Then, in 2016, the ex-wife sold her shares to Christopher Richmond (and another investor, essentially the principles of Proper Media - the company that provided them with hosting and website design/maintenance). They (Richmond, et. al) promptly put themselves on the board of directors at Snopes.

But fireworks between original owner, David Mikkelson, and Richmod resulted in Snopes.com FIRING Proper Media in 2017. (Richmond was not happy? LOL)

Richmond sued his own company in California court - and lost (that case is being appealed), but then (after the CA court loss) also in Federal court.

The issue (and why this is important HERE!) is that Snopes.com has debunked dozens or even hundreds of Trumpist lies (ok, claims - but Snopes agrees they're false!), and our resident Trump Extremists (aka: Trumpists) like to point to this litigation as-if it was proof that the site was biased.

In truth, the site has been evaluated for fairness many times - and in each case, they have been shown to have demonstrated NO POLITICAL BIAS.

Jan Harold Brunvand, a folklorist who has written a number of books on urban legends and modern folklore, considered the site so comprehensive that in 2004 he decided not to launch one of his own to similarly discuss the accuracy of various legends and rumors.

In 2009, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes' responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases.[30][31] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy. Mikkelson has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias, but added that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends.

Or, maybe you're ass-ininely butt-hurt because I pointed out "You're With Bernie" on this one?

@raphjd said in Lie in Court or Be Fired! - Crazy Qualified Immunity Case:

@bi4smooth

State and local level employees only have Qualified Immunity, while federal employees have Absolute Immunity.

Judges, at any level, also have Absolute Immunity.

In the UK, every government employee, regardless of the level of gov they work for, has Absolute Immunity. I forget the legal term they actually use, but due to the influence of the US, everyone commonly calls it Absolute Immunity.

The idea of some level of immunity for police & Government officials - in so far as, they shouldn't be held liable for an act they didn't KNOW was illegal - is fine. What's been lost is the common sense ... the litmus test should not be "is there case law," as that means it has to be an exact repeat of the earlier event.

Think: "No, this ISN'T the same as the George Floyd case, your honor - because I didn't use my KNEE to choke him to death, I used my ELBOW! No one has ever killed killed a suspect in custody with their elbow before, so I get IMMUNITY! I didn't know you couldn't kill them - WITH YOUR ELBOW! I thought it was just with your knee! My bad! Can I go back to work now? I want to see if killing suspects in custody with an ARTIFICIAL knee is illegal, too..."
