@manhandler said in FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm - the science doesn't matter:

@bi4smooth It's not really a joke though... is it?

I think you should consider Prochlorperazine - a leading drug in the treatment of Paranoid Schizophrenia ... but, then again, I'm not a Doctor (and neither are you).

I have as much business diagnosing your mental illness as you do anyone else - including Biden...

But dude, seriously consider your proposition: IF Pres Biden had Azaheimer's, eventually (very soon) Kamala Harris would become President! Do you think that would be BETTER

I do not...

Stick with the compliment on the joke...

@lololulu19 said in FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm - the science doesn't matter:

Biden is hoping that they have an Alzheimer's drug that will work for him!

ROFL - I appreciate a good joke

@lololulu19 said in US Supreme Court Rejects anti-sexism Draft case:

@raphjd someone needs to do a study of how many women in the military become pregnant whenever a war breaks out. They want to be in the military... EXCEPT when there is actual fighting going on.

One of my daughters serves in the US Army - to claim that women in uniform are not willing or able to fight - in battle - is ludicrous and shows an extreme lack of knowledge on your part. You're pathetic.

@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:

@bi4smooth Hah! And what I'm talking about is true, regardless of your personal feelings. Infowars is HUGE.

I think your definition of "huge" is different from mine...

@jsl76 said in Liberals love "whataboutisms" unless the other side does it:

Same logic goes for things like confirming SCOTUS nominees and nuking the filibusters -- a moral imperative when the Left is in power, and a Threat to Democracy when the Right does it.

Hypocrisy in Washington is as difficult to find as water in the Atlantic. But it is not the exclusive realm of Dems or Republicans...

@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:

@bi4smooth Yea? What's more offensive than this Joe Biden speaking the n word on tv? Or Hillary with her charity? Taking 90% for admin fees?

I don't defend Biden (nor Hillary) - but just what the f**k does this have to do with the rest of the conversation?

Look - if you'll re-read my comments, I think you'll find a common thread. I don't defend Democrats, I attack specious arguments based on conspiracy theories, and blatant lies. Sometimes I take the time to make it clear, sometimes not. C'est la vie.

Russian disinformation analyst, comfortably seated in a basement somewhere in the Moscow suburbs.

At least the Muscovite trolls can be comfortable in their basement; were they in the US, they'd be surrounded by cannibalistic pedophiles.

If the Democrat leadership is full of cannibalistic pedophiles, where are the multitudes of outraged parents whose children have gone missing?

I'm sorry - Democrats are (in general) pie-in-the-sky idealists, always sure of their moral superiority and surety that they know better than everyone else... They often cannot see the forest for the trees... but they're not evil and they're not (in general) cannibals or pedophiles (tho I wouldn't be surprised of there were some pedophiles on Capitol Hill... tho not likely more on the Democrat side than the Republican side... those sick bastards infiltrate the halls of power on both sides of the aisle.)

@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:

@bi4smooth You are clear. Let's see. You are anti-Trump, "Republican", and what else? Is there anything beyond that? Seems like you define yourself by where you stand with Trump.

Hmmm... and the restroom attendant at the hotel thinks all you ever do is pee and poop...

Did it ever occur to you that the only posts of mine you read are the ones in Politics? Or that 90%+ of my comments are responses to absurd or offensive Trumpite claims....

@eobox91103 said in "political" discussions in comments:

Thank you for your thoughtful posting.

@higgs said in "political" discussions in comments:

Recently, a thread was removed from a post because it had become the focus of "political" comments to do with a major geopolitical conflict.

I am curious what that post said. Perhaps you could describe in in "neutral terms" (whatever that means).

The moderator who removed the posts did so on the grounds that "this is a positive community."

This sounds out of character with the only forum moderator I'm aware of, who is filled with negativity, and when called out for a specious argument resorts to caustic insults of other forum participants. There are a couple of other minions/trolls who do the same thing with impunity.

I can see the point of discouraging disruptive or bad-tempered comments (I think the thread concerned was neither of these things).

I fully agree, although their are many toxic comments permitted here.

At the very least, much more clarity is needed about what is and is not acceptable.

I would like to see that, too. Perhaps someone can provide some intelligent clarity here, without resorting to insulting either of us.

You are conflating the Torrent side of the site (which is non-political - and it's in the rules), and the Forum side of the site - which actually has separate staffers (more than one)...

However, even the Forum side has rules that require political discussions to take place in the Politics section - so that people who don't want to read it don't have to!

@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:

@bi4smooth What's more impressive is your chameleon behavior. You are too afraid to come out and say what you really mean yet. We get it.

Chameleon... I don't know, I think I've been pretty clear...

For the record, the new mantra of Trumpites being focused on the inflation numbers is something I've been talking about for 2-months now...

Welcome to the Party - you're late.

@manhandler said in Mike Lindell, Another Billionaire, on Infowars.:

@jsl76 Silence Worm! The audit was completed today, we'll see what they have to report. You acting like you have some kind of premonition or foreknowledge of what they found is stupid and dumb. Especially when you haven't been keeping up with it from the beginning.

You think we don't already know their "findings"?

• Trump won AZ overwhelmingly
• hundreds of thousands of votes for Biden were counted, but shouldn't have
• There is a conspiracy of Democrats and Republicans - aimed solely at the defeat of Trump in2020

What's the big surprise?

Let's do another prediction: later this month, the Boston Red Sox are going to play the Tampa Bay Rays in baseball... I'm betting the Mayor of Boston will cheer for the Red Sox!

My prognostication is impressive, no?

@manhandler said in Joe Biden WRECKS the Economy:

@bi4smooth Oh please. Nobody is telling trans people that they don't have the right to transition and then seek out whatever makes them happy. Nobody is saying that.

Oh, but you (and @raphjd) want to be the arbiters of who is "really" trans and who is, I'm guessing, faking it?

@manhandler said in AZ Lawmaker tells Garland that he BETTER NOT touch AZ ballots.:

@bi4smooth A lot of that had to do with fraud in the RINO faction that paid for these machines, who don't want to be exposed for taking money to use fraudulent machines. People you are talking good about, like Mitt Romney and John McCain, who operate a ballot harvesting scheme. There is so much evidence, I have no doubt the Supreme Court will have to vote 9-0.

John McCain (who died in 2018) was truly instrumental in perpetrating the fraud of the 2020 election! So were Joan of Arc and Hippocrates! And don't get me started on the crazy shit Julius Caesar pulled in that one!

@manhandler said in I love Infowars and Donald Trump, and I'm Gay.:

I support Trump, and Infowars, and I'm gay. I'm tired of the lying left trying to use gay people for their agenda. They're racist, they're homophobic, they're sexual harrassers, they're economy destroyers, they're idiots. I do not like Joe Biden, he sucks. And if you don't like that, too fucking bad!!! We're not friends.

Congratulations! Your statement of principle is hyperbolic and straw-man... but the group of people waiting to hear how you stand... well, is truly... countable... on one hand....

@manhandler said in Joe Biden WRECKS the Economy:

@bi4smooth Yes. My mind is definitely closed. I would only date another natural born man. I identify as "Super Gay." I would never date a man that was born with a vagina.

I would no more expect you to become attracted to a trans person (of any ilk) than I would expect you to suddenly want to have sex with women (or walruses)

The issue isn't someone forcing you to be attracted to a trans person, but rather your acceptance that others do have the right to do so - without interference from you!

@manhandler said in Joe Biden WRECKS the Economy:

@bi4smooth Trans has to do with gender. Gay has to do with sexuality. Let's get that straight first.They are different. Most trans were gay so we accept them. But there are only two chromosome types, xx and xy. I think there's some xxy with like, ten people on the whole planet. I don't know, I just think changing sex is weird and gross. Sorry. That's how I feel. I would never be able to date a trans.

As usual, your Science facts are way off base...

• people with xxy chromosomes have Downs Syndrome. That is about 1 in 1000 people, world-wide - including a darling little girl that my daughter cares for.

As for your desire to date a trans - I suspect it is as distasteful for you as the idea of dating a woman.

But your application of sexual identity to gender identity is yet another example of how you just do not understand -- not at all unlike many older straight people who just cannot understand your desire for dick - even though you have one yourself.

I'm not surprised you cannot fathom these ideas - your mind is closed.

@manhandler said in Google's Head of Diversity - Oh My!!!:

@bi4smooth Oh, "Progress." Using democrat party terms and claiming to be Republican. Judge Joe Brown, a conservative black tv judge, said, "We're working on it." That describes it perfectly. There's no need to over-exaggerate. You're stating that equal rights is impossible to achieve. It's not. You're basically stating that civilization is impossible.

ROFL - your grasp of the English Language is wholly underwhelming...

Progress (in this case) is not even related to "Progressive" - the phrase is used to to acknowledge that perfection is not possible, but coming closer to the goal - in a repetitive, iterative process allows you to make inroads towards improvements - even if perfection is not possible.

There is absolutely no way that "Equal Rights" can possibly be achieved from each person's perspective. For every 1000 people, there are at least 1001 different ideas as to what "Equal Rights" would mean.

Civilization is not impossible... but a perfect civilization is...

I am sorry you have such a hard time with English. Perhaps if you'd paid better attention in school, or read material more challenging than the 5th-Grade readers... alas, that ship has passed...

@manhandler said in Everyone Wants to Be on INFOWARS:

@jsl76 You're lame. You're also gaslighting us. We know because it's obvious. You are a liar. Period.

The saying "Progress, not perfection is well established... both in science and in recovery from addiction.

Any computer program of reasonable complexity has at least one bug... the point of software engineering isn't to eliminate all bugs from a program - only to remove the ones you can. Eventually, you get it "good enough" that the pursuit of removing more bugs is cost prohibitive.

I'm sorry (for you) if your intellect insufficient to absorb the concept.

@raphjd said in AZ Lawmaker tells Garland that he BETTER NOT touch AZ ballots.:

@bi4smooth

Did I say any different?!

I accept that the election is done and over.

That has absolutely zero to do with making sure we get rid of any fraud in future elections.

If there was so much fraud in the 2020 election, should all those Republicans who won unexpectedly in the last election give up their wins?

How is it that such wide-spread election fraud was executed SOLELY in the Presidential vote?

I posit that your definition of Election Fraud is simply any election in which your candidate loses.

Can you imagine what all that formaldehyde would do to your sinuses?

Sigh - you continue to refer to your cause as Conservatism - even though you were never a Conservative before Trump, and Trumpsim is far more Authoritarian and Fascist than actual Conservatism.

If there's a RINO in this room, it's the ca. 2016 convert, not the one with a 30-year history in the party.
