@raphjd said in DNC and Hillary Campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann indicted for lying to FBI:
https://nypost.com/2021/09/17/michael-sussmann-indicted-pleads-not-guilty-in-alleged-fbi-lie/
Of course, our fake conservative will make up some justification for Sussman lying to the FBI, claiming he's innocent because "Orange Man Bad".
Not surprisingly, the RWM (Right Wing Media) touts this is more "Crooked Hillary" evidence come-to-light (give it a rest: you won the election... that dragon is dead!), and the LWM (Left Wing Media) is claiming the same stuff the RWM did as Trump officials were indicted: "its just an indictment, there's no proof, they'll fail in court"...
And the truth is somewhere in the middle. Did Sussman lie about the fact that his information came at the behest of the Clinton campaign (in 2016, people!) - maybe, maybe not - that's why there are charges filed.
Did that mischaracterization lead to anything untoward? No! The FBI looked into the allegations (about a Russian bank - probably not @raphjd's personal bank - with supposed ties to Trump) and found them without sufficient evidence. NOTE: That happened BEFORE Trump took office, so .... even without undue political influence, the system worked... they made an allegation, the FBI looked into it, and it was found "wanting for evidence"...
Long story short - indictments in Washington are like white-chocolate milk-duds... they're not everywhere, but they're not hard to get either!
We'll see whether a trial (or a plead to a lesser charge - which is common also) results - or an exoneration? Who can tell with all the spinning on all sides.
Can't wait to see how the positions change when it's Trump era officials being indicted a few years from now (Justice is slow!) - and they WILL change!
@raphjd said in UK Conservative MP stabbed to death:
But there has been stuff removed due to cancel culture.
True - but the one he was remarking about wasn't one of them.
@raphjd said in Part of the Covid lie:
OY, DUMBASS, the death figures are falsely inflated, as I pointed out.
I never said it's entirely a lie, but there have been massive lies told about it since August 2019.
You keep being a liberal tool of "build back better", "you will own nothing and you will be happy" and all the other bullshit, that covid is being used as a shield for.
OK, so you are still drunk of Pelosi's gin-soaked pussy farts. If they died from other means, then they do not count as covid. It's not that difficult, except for people like you.
Comrade, your constant redirection of the topics - especially the tactic of bringing up an old topic and claiming I had a different position - is so transparent!
Let's get back to the point: You claim they are intentionally inflating the COVID-19 numbers... let's run with that:
Just like when the Dems complained about Trump's southern border policies: it's easy to complain about how it's being done - but it's a whole other story when you have to actually find a better way yourself. The southern border crisis is a Dem problem now (comes with the power!)... and they're not only not better than Trump (they're keeping a lot of the Trump-Era policies) - no, they're making it even worse by NOT effectively stopping them from coming in the first place. FAIL
But I'm not complaining about that SHIT SHOW - because I don't have a better idea, and just complaining (like you're doing, Comrade) is like looking in the mirror in the morning and complaining about how fat you are, then going into the kitchen and eating a half-dozen donuts for breakfast!
So Comrade, your complaining "Their shit stinks," when your shit stinks just as badly is worthless drivel... Honestly, it's beneath even your flawed KGB training. You need to do better!
As for the Dem's "Build Back Better" - I've was warning for MONTHS ahead of time that their policies would create inflation... that the last $Trillion "stimulus" was unwarranted and inflationary... and was I wrong? (HINT: no, Comrade, I was not wrong)
I pray to the gods of economics that this Dem $Trillion spending monstrosity stays dead in congress! All Hail the Dem BOOBS who insist on their way or the highway! Their self-immolation is for the benefit of us all!
Do we need to repair our roads and bridges? yes - OH HELL, YES - that is a part of our infrastructure (maintenance and replacement) that we've long overlooked: we build bridges with a planned 50-year lifespan, and then 50 years later, we have no plans (and no budget) to replace or even maintain them... we just hope and pray that we can make 50 years into 70 or 80... and now that 80 years has passed, we STILL aren't prepared to fix or replace them!
This is A COMPLETE FAILURE TO PLAN coupled with a FANTASTICAL BELIEF that the problem will just go away - And these are not Trump-era failings! These are Kennedy-Johnson, Nixon-Ford, Carter, Reagan-Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden issues!
Cudos to Biden for wanting to address the problem with more than lip-service and finger-crossing... but realizing the problem is already critical is no excuse for the $Trillions of EXTRA shit!
Biden's plan is like the surgeon who needs to repair a hernia, but says "while we're in there, let's look at everything from your ingrown toenail to your bald spot! And we'll fix that crooked nose, too! Oh, and how about some RED hair to cover the grey... and..." JUST STOP ALREADY! Let's start with the hernia... then we'll regroup and look at the other things... but I'll pass on the package deal!
Lastly: You keep accusing my of being a Nanci Pelosi fanatic... funny, but my ideals fall very much in line with Republican ones - even Trump ones - except for a few key areas:
The other areas on here where we differ, YOU are the liberal one:
I could go on, but what's the point?
What will you change the topic to this time to avoid acknowledging the validity of my arguments? Or, will you just call me names and open a new thread?
@raphjd said in Liberals storm US Interior Department - liberals remain silent on act of domestic terrorism:
Of course, you forgot storming the Senate building, as well as trying to storm the SCOTUS building. Not to mention all the other acts of domestic terrorism I posted, from Wikipedia that even they called domestic terrorism in DC.
You liberals will never change.
I didn't forget anything - I looked at the exact "comparison" you proposed and "dug deeper" - some might call that "critical thinking" - in that I didn't just take what you said as "gospel", but rather looked at what you wrote, applied other knowledge, and determined to what extent your post was true...
In the BIG points, it was true: there were activists who stormed the Interior department.
I'm not really sure this rose to the level of "domestic terrorism" - it was a sit-in, not a bombing. There were also no weapons found on the protesters.
But even if I gave you that point: there is a difference between "domestic terrorism" - which is awful...
and insurrection - which is treason.
YES: Jan 6 started as a protest - but these protesters brought weapons & threatened the lives of public officials. Also, these protesters didn't want a change in government policy, they wanted a change in government!
So, I didn't totally disagree with your post about the protest at the Interior Department... I just disagreed with your use of that protest to create a completely false comparison to the Jan 6 insurrection in a blatant attempt to "minimize" and "normalize" the Jan 6 events.
Sorry Comrade - that page on the KGB handbook was leaked & the tactic won't work here.
You cannot compare a planned sit-in with a planned insurrection. Not gonna fly!
You may as well compare the Cuban Missile Crisis with the Edward Snowden impasse...
@lololulu19 said in UK Conservative MP stabbed to death:
I'm shocked! I thought the people from Somalia were so peaceful.. although they are in a perpetual state of war, refuse to eat pork but will eat humans, execute people for being homosexuals, and when women are raped, they execute the woman for being a promiscuous whore.
Where else can you go if you need a head these days? Somalia is the place to go! They often have specials on heads. Two of theirs for one of yours! (That was a classic joke in Disney's "Jungle Cruise" ride until they removed that joke this year). How dare they refer to head hunters as being head hunters! We must respect their culture!
While I generally decry "political correctness", the Jungle Cruise rides at all of Disney parks were recently re-done - not JUST to update them, but also (and primarily) to add tie-ins to the new movie. (See Dwayne Johnson / Emily Blunt 2021 film).
So, while one who was so inclined might assume the worst, the fact is it's more a movie marketing thing than any attempt at political correctness....
@raphjd said in Norway "bow and arrow" terror attack:
Thanks for the update/correction.
It's weird that the UK news was saying the stuff I posted.
In my experience, it's not uncommon for media (MSM as well as right- and left-wing media) to get significant facts wrong when initially reporting on major events. They're in such a hurry to be first they bypass their own standards of fact-checking and verification.
Not finger-pointing at any one source or side here: it's universal!
The real crime is that they bury the corrections where no one will see them.
Ours is a FUCKED UP world these days... and Social Media and the 24-hour News Cycle is a big part of what's wrong with it!
IMHO, news outlets - whether professional or private (meaning even individuals posting "newsy" stories in social media) should have to pay a fine - commensurate with their level of profiteering - for getting facts wrong. The more facts you get wrong, higher the fines.
Want to write an opinion piece? Say it is that at the beginning. Writing a piece about breaking news? Say that your information is unverified.
Of course, this would be a "sticky mess" - after all, who decides whose "facts" are right these days? Not to mention it runs counter to the 1st Amendment...
A "perfect world" wouldn't include as many freedoms - because one of our most basic freedoms is the right to be wrong!
@raphjd said in Liberals storm US Interior Department - liberals remain silent on act of domestic terrorism:
Absolutely more proof that liberals are massive hypocrites.
Reminiscent of Jan 6 because they attempted to "sit in"?
Let's see:
Goal of the protest:
Total arrested on-scene:
Individual persons identified as "targets" by protesters - threatening bodily harm and death:
Weapons brandished by protesters:
Last time there was a protest at each location where people illegally entered (breached) the building:
So you're right! There is so much in common!
For one, the Capitol Police and Federal Protective Services DID NOT just sit back and let this happen: they actually ARRESTED people and took them to jail - ON THE SPOT, not days/weeks/months later. LESSON FROM JAN 6 learned!
The attempts to make comparisons between these 2 events is nothing more than an attempt - by insurrection supporters (who are anti-American, if you ask me!) look less treasonous.
We burned down a forest and killed 5 people, injuring hundreds of others, and causing millions in damages...
Yeah, but that other guy burned down a tree and hurt some people too! Shouldn't we be treated the same?
Should these protesters have been arrested? Yes - and they were...
Should they be compared to Jan 6 insurrectionists?
No, and attempting to do so is downright shameful.
@raphjd said in Part of the Covid lie:
All over the "western" world, governments have been lying to us about the number of people dying from Covid.
Originally, in the UK, if you ever tested positive for Covid and you later died, no matter the actual cause, you were listed as a Covid Death. After about 9 or 10 months, they reduced the time down to 6 months and later reduced that down to 1 month/4 weeks. They didn't remove anyone from the covid death list when they shortened the time frame.
So, you get a positive covid test and on the 28th day you commit suicide by hanging, you are now a covid statistic. It doesn't matter that you had battled depression your entire life and covid had nothing to do with your suicide.
Oddly, what they refuse to count as a covid death is all the people that died because they could not get the medical treatments they needed, because of covid restrictions.
Think about it, if you can't get life-saving treatments because of some government restrictions due to covid, you actually died due to covid. This is not the same with someone who tests positive for covid and 4 weeks later slips and falls off a roof.
Also, why did CNN remove the covid death counter from their website and tv screen overlay at 12 noon on 20 Jan 2021? I mean that had it up for over a year, but suddenly took it down for no reason. Hhhhmmmm.
So, if it's all been a LIE, will those people the Gov't chose to hide away and FAKE as COVID-19 "victims" come back? Or, were they MURDERED by by the Governments as part of a cover-up!
If it's all been a LIE (or a HOAX!) then how did they get LITERALLY EVERY COUNTRY in the world to go along? Russia & the US, China & Taiwan, N & S Korea, Iran & Israel... They ALL agreed to cooperate for this HOAX!
So, Mr. "I can do critical thinking": If your morgues and funeral homes are renting refrigerator trucks to store all the dead bodies... if your hospitals have no room... if you don't have the capacity to test everyone, even all of the sick, with full-blown, 100% sure-its-COVID-19-and-determine-which-variant-it-is tests... then, riddle me this, BAT-FUCKER-MAN:
... without taking away from care of the still living?
When a herd of lemmings runs off a cliff (yes, if you are a denier, you ARE a lemming!), you don't REALLY need to test EACH ONE to know that EACH ONE died from the fall... it REALLY IS sufficient to just count the bodies and ASSUME that most died from the fall...
But if we TRULY want to get MORBIDLY TRUTHFUL here: the new deaths (in the west, anyway) from this pandemic you call a hoax, are coming almost entirely (over 90%) from your fellow "COVID Deniers"... So truly, what the rest of us SHOULD do, rather than try to convince you that it's real, is just let y'all die off! Problem solved!

That would mean the "links" between your 2 accounts must be broken.

But it's you that demands we do exactly what Fauci says.
And you are a piece of shit.
Clearly, you needed to go there because you lost and that is all you had left.
That wasn't the question - which was: who keeps fixating on Fauci?
That's you, Comrade Karen!
And again, I'm not the "straw man" you're looking for!
I've never said Fauci was to be followed religiously! I said he represents the NIH and the CDC... Those scientists have recommendations, and we're fools if we don't CONSIDER them.
I've also said that the vaccines are safe and effective - 400-million doses is enough for me....
I've also said masks do work (studies say they do), they're harmless (Doctors and Nurses have been wearing them around hospitals for DECADES with no ill effects) and are a MINOR inconvenience given the public health benefits! That said, there ARE SOME who cannot and/or should not wear masks....
The fact that some of that aligns with Fauci is because we're RIGHT, not because we're in some secret society or that I'm secretly in love with him!
You, on the other hand, cannot get past his AZT past and if he recommended staying away from ARSENIC, you'd go buy as much as you could find just to spite him!

What do I think about the US fighting in Afghanistan for 20 years, and then pulling out like a teenager whose condom broke? (I might've tipped my hand there a little!)
Yeah - you only know the "straw man" you wish I was!
@cinemacapman said in QTM (Quick Torrent Maker) no longer works?:
I tried twice today to create and post a torrent (The Guy Site Halloween Special) using Quick Torrent Maker...and had to delete it twice because I got an error message when trying to load the .torrent into uTorrent. It said something about an "invalid torrent file" or something. I then successfully uploaded my torrent doing it directly on the site...and had no problems with it that way.
It's my considered thought that because of that certificate update on the site a week ago, QTM will no longer work, and needs to be revised/updated somehow to correctly work with the new certificate on the site. I've never had any issues using QTM in the past, and I think this certificate change is the reason I had the problem today.
Mods and Admins please take note, and has anyone else had an issue with QTM since the certificate change?
Please use the help desk to report site issues. Moderators seldom read through the forums looking for problems to solve...

No - you are discussing FREEDOMS: the freedom you have to post shit on YouTube and to have them pay you for it, and the loss of that freedom because YouTube determined that managing so many small producers was too expensive and stopped.
You are discussing the FREEDOM people have to post pics on Instagram, and the loss of that freedom when the owner of Instagram doesn't like your content. (Did the parable about the wall not help you at all?)
You haven't described ANYONE'S rights being trampled... only Social Media companies exercising their freedom in ways you do not like!

English is a foreign language to you - I get that. Either that or your Primary School teacher would be very upset with you.
Either way, Google is your friend... all those big words have special meanings... English as a language has a different word for many very similar things (thus, the need for a Thesaurus!). Then again, English also uses the same word for multiple meanings.... hence: read
