OH PLEASE.

You are a fake as fuck conservative. The fact that you can't go past a pro-liberal argument that you won't defend, shows what you are.

Keep telling yourself that Biden is better than Trump.

You voted for Honest Joe and Camel Toe, so you don't get to say anything bad about them, not that you ever would.

You remind me of those "fag for Islam". You are so desperate to virtue signal that you are willing to shit all over yourself, everyone else, and the country.

You have no memory or no brain (I'll let you decide).

I've written extensively in these forums about the peril we are in with all the spending Biden is proposing, and the inflation that will inevitably result.

Biden is bad... Trump was worse. Not for me personally, but for our country.

Country before Party before self!

Your TDS is so extreme that you view everything through those lenses.

By law, the BBC is required to be neutral in its reporting, but they have a heavy leftist bias. I'm sure the ABC has similar requirements.

You are so blinded by your opposition to me, you can't see the IDIOCY of what you speak.

My posting said that ALL news organizations have a bias - if only in their choice of what stories to "publish".

• When I choose to report (factually) about the black officer shooting a white man, but choose to NOT report about the black officer shooting a black man - there is a bias. Even if the reporting itself is totally factual and unbiased, the choice of what to report and what NOT to report is going to have a bias - it has to, people are people.

The BBC has many legal requirements - it is state-owned and operated. The ABC (Australian) is actually (on purpose) molded after the BBC model. Both have a reputation for being somewhat Liberal in their editorial bias, but both also have strong reputations for reporting truthfully and fairly.

But to be fair to both - what's "liberal" in the UK and AU is not necessarily aligned with what's considered "liberal" in the US. (Typical of US residents to "Americanize" all other parts of the world - a little surprised to find you guilty of that as well, in that you live overseas).

In Germany, DW (Deutsche Welle) is also considered "slightly left center", but it's hard to get English Language (I don't read German) news from Gernany (arguably the strongest EU member nation)...

Also, as I stated in my original posting - and repeated just today - this isn't a "complete list" of sites I scan for news... but they are the more well-known. In Australia there is also Sky News (their version of Fox News) - but I often read those articles mainly when I'm interested in the internal politics of Australia - where the biases of both mostly appears.

When you limit yourself to a single viewpoint (when you choose to put yourself into an echo-chamber of like-minded people), you miss opportunities for personal and intellectual growth.

That said, I have no interest in either side's ultra-partisan "news" outlets.. Mother Jones and OAN alike! I'm not hyper-partisan, and I don't like the hyper-partisan "spin" outlets like these use to spin (and sometimes blatantly falsify) their reporting (they BOTH do it!).

You like to say that I have "TDS" (assumed to be something like "Trump Dysliexia Syndrome" or some other D-word)... but I'm not AUTHORING posts against Trump! I'm replying to YOUR posts that are spouting pro-Trump propaganda...

For posts you make about non-Trump items, we've been in agreement on multiple occasions. But when you (and others like you) spout off right-wing conspiracy theory laden tales of military coups and magical returns to power, I DO reply - because it is dangerous to let such things go unchallenged.

Honestly, other than when replying to your hyper-Trump blitherings, I don't think about Trump any more than I do about Obama or Carter or the Clintons or the Bushes... they're all historical footnotes waiting around to die and let History grade their lives... I'm more interested in the future than the past.

@manhandler said in I could sit at home and make $1K a week.:

@bi4smooth Yea, I thought about that, but. I don't want mass murderers running the show. They'll own all the property by default, so your landlord will be a group of mafiosos. Looks like we won't have much choice anyway.

It's all partisan bullshit....

• To the liberals, all the unvaccinated Trumpites will die of covid and the world will be a better place without them
• To the Trumpites, all the vaccinated liberals will die because of the vaccines and the world will be a better place without them

I don't buy either line - because I'm not a liberal, and I'm not a Trumpite!

Another false dichotomy - not being one, doesn't MAKE you the other!

@manhandler said in Joe Biden WRECKS the Economy:

@bi4smooth Uh, yea, and the real shit is exactly what I said. Now we have to pay for pollution to ship the oil overseas instead of our nice clean pipelines (that don't leak because we have technology and steel.) Biden then lifted the sanctions on the Russia pipeline so Russia can get their gas to Germany. The idea that Biden has no say in the matter is really unfounded.

Um... unfounded...

Pipelines leak - they all do, it's in their nature. The newer technology doesn't involve steel, and it doesn't prevent ALL leaks: what the newer pipelines do is make leak DETECTION better, so that when it DOES leak (and it will), it is detected faster, repaired faster, and the environmental damage is less.

BTW: the energy-based environmental impact of a pipeline vs a tanker (truck or ship) aren't as great as you might think... those pipelines have a LOT of motors in them to keep the stuff flowing!

To another point... WE are the EXPORTER... WE don't "pay" for the transportation costs, the CONSUMER does (like when we bought all our oil from the Middle East!)...

Your understanding of economics, physics (power consumption), and technology in general is equivalent to a 3rd grader... do some research before you spout off about things you literally know nothing about!

@raphjd said in Keep that mask on your face you dirty human.:

@bi4smooth

I hope you realize that according to your boy Honest Joe's own words, he is far more of a dictator than Trump ever was.

Honest Joe is more of a dictator in that he is going through the military, Secret Service, National Guard, and Capitol Police and chucking out those that are not loyal to him personally.

I'm not sure how you get the idea that I'm pro-Biden!
NOT liking Trump is NOT the same as LIKING Biden! You present a false dichotomy (not at all unlike you, BTW.... just sayin'!)

Biden is bad

Trump would have been worse

We are where we are because we had options of bad and worse available to us... that's the system though!

@manhandler said in Where is the Conservative Outrage?:

@bi4smooth Can you demonstrate what you just stated in more detail so that we can fact check it ourselves?

Start reading non-US news accounts... Try some of these:

• http://www.dw.com (German)
• http://www/bbc.com (British)
• http://www.abc.net.au (Australia)

I also read translated news from the Middle East and Japan...

I don't know the German site, but the other 2 are leftist shite.

Anything that doesn't toe the Trump line is shite to you... I understand...
ALL news organizations have an editorial bias to one degree or another (in LEGIT ones, it mostly shows in the choice of stories they run, not so much in the facts of the stories themselves).

The point of listing those sites was to say: don't get ALL of your news from US sources - in the US, I read articles on CNN.com as well as FoxNews.com... and multiple other US sources... (yes, I read a lot - I get PAID (in my job) to read a lot! LOL)

Those sites are INTERNATIONAL sites I get news from... that's all...

@manhandler said in Joe Biden WRECKS the Economy:

Nevermind that now we have to pay for pollution, to ship the oil overseas rather than just streamline it through a gaspipe (like the very people we're buying it from do)... shutting down the XL pipeline, then a hack on the NE pipeline, then Whitmer cancelling another Canadian pipeline, then shutting off Alaska pipelines today!!! Then another hack today on farms. All in the name of reducing CO2 that is OXYGEN to TREES and INCREASES vegetation. It's upside down world. And the solar and all those alternatives like batteries and electric power rely on a lot more pollution. The nickel I think is one of the big factors in electric cars. Very bad for the environment to go green, worse than just with "green tech." Which isn't green at all one single bit! I almost forgot! Joe Biden also cut sanctions from Germany to Russia so now Russia can supply their gas and oil to Germany, while the US pays for Germany's protection from Russia. Russia gets the same kind of Keystone Pipeline that the US needed but it's ok. When the price of gas and food skyrocket, don't complain to me about it. You are the ones promoting this racial and socio-economic warfare.

Joe Biden is a crime-in-action against our economy... but not for ANY of the reasons you espouse above!

Biden's making a LOT of mistakes... and doing a LOT of crazy shit! But let's call him out of the REAL stuff, not the made-up shit, OK?

His economic stimulus plan is already causing inflation - and since all of our economic indicators for inflation are "trailing" indicators, it'll take weeks or months for us to realize just how bad it is... but you can see it YOURSELF now:

• Gas prices are skyrocketing
• Car and home prices are skyrocketing
• food and energy prices are falling - oh wait, no! They're going thru the roof!

And now they want to pump ANOTHER $2T (and another $2T after THAT!) into this economy? F****G fools! (It's time to switch to precious metals...)

The US is already a net exporter of (natural) gas and (crude) oil, not to mention the largest refiner of oil in the world... but we'd be downright stupid if we didn't see the "writing on the wall" that the "energy future" isn't oil & gas, it's renewables like solar and wind. All it's gonna take is a significant LEAP in battery and/or solar power conversion and we'll see oil & gas consumption start to fall quickly. We can prepare for it, or face absolute ruin (like the Saudis) when it comes!

This may come as a surprise to you, but Joe Biden has (and had) no say in the matter of Germany and Russia's gas economy. Nope... just... No... not in the power of the Presidency (no matter what Trump may have thought when he was there).

The list could go on, but I'm tired....

Biden's a schmuck ... but let's call him out on his REAL shit, not some made-up shit!

@manhandler said in I could sit at home and make $1K a week.:

I work my ass off. I make money. I fund the government. My compadres who take a check to sit at home are who I'm paying. Communist nations through history have killed off the useless. These are the vaccinated today. I hate it because I know that the vaccinated are going to die within a few years. Then we'll be left to deal with the cleanup.

When all the vaccinated people die in a few years, think of the AWESOME real estate bargains you'll have available!

@manhandler said in Where is the Conservative Outrage?:

@bi4smooth Dude, the first sentence again was delusional and I couldn't read past it. You just don't get how the world works. Just because there isn't precedent doesn't mean that it can't be done. Do you think all the other times there wasn't precedent -until there was- people argued that? It's basic common sense, fraud cannot stand. There is that precedent anyway.

Your understanding of US law is ...

well, let's just say I'm underwhelmed.

I suggest you go back to the Military Coup idea... it is more plausible! LOL

@manhandler said in The left is eating itself.:

@bi4smooth Are you serious? That's insane. If it kills thousands, but saves billions. It's already known that 99.7% of those who can get it will live. That's not ages 20-55. Of those outside that age group, 99.7 percent will be just fine. The idea that the virus doesn't kill people and the vaccine is, is the obvious factor here that you aren't getting.

You do you... you be your own deluded, self-important self.

Math lies.. it's corrupt and anti-Trump.
ALL of the scientists are in a cabal dedicated to the fall of Trump!
All of the ELITIST college-educated folk are conspiring against Trump!

Why, it's DOCUMENTED! 81 MILLION Chinese and Russian ballots were snuck into the country... 81 MILLION people colluded and conspired against Donald Trump - mostly on Nov 3, 2020! All in an effort to get him out of power!

You call it a conspiracy - I call it an election!

@manhandler said in Keep that mask on your face you dirty human.:

@bi4smooth Oh yes, Obama didn't meet that criteria! LOL and yes I do like Trump's personality. "You shut up, you're stupid, you go fuck yourself..." I like that, because I understand how corrupt those assholes are.

Rice is racist because it's white

@manhandler said in Where is the Conservative Outrage?:

@bi4smooth All of our laws are based on the fact that fraud is null and void, nunc pro tunc. That is the basis for civilization, and you are trying to make excuses for when it comes out, that it's just too bad. That's so pathetic and disturbing.

There is precedence for re-running an election due to fraud. There is none for overturning one. And in the case of re-running the elections, the candidate who committed the fraud was convicted - in court - of perpetrating that fraud. As I've said (and as Donald Trump demonstrated in his pathetic 1-term in office) - the American Presidency is immune from prosecution while in office.

Next election - maybe even the one after that... that's when you'll have your chance in court!

@manhandler said in The left is eating itself.:

@bi4smooth Exactly. Which means that you are the first HUMAN trial and the guinea pig! Congratulations. It's already killed thousands. And the number is growing.

If it does kill thousands, but saves billions - I think that's a reasonable trade-off in scientific terms!

But you do you... eschew the masks, decline the vaccines!
COVID-19 may not KILL you... but your risks are a LOT higher than mine!

@manhandler said in Keep that mask on your face you dirty human.:

@bi4smooth No that's what you're doing. You're saying that American Nationalism is Fascist by nature. You are the one conflating the two, I'm the one pointing out that Nationalism isn't fascist by nature. There's a difference. When Chinese Nationalism - is brought into the conversation, Nationalism in the way that you describe it loses the profundity you associated with it. Why don't you just be more specific in what you're really trying to say. Why don't you just be honest. You MEAN to say, straight white men are Hitler. You're just being very sneaky in the way you go about it.

I don't claim Trumism is Nationalist - I claim it is a cult of personality, and that it meets all of the criteria to be Nationalist Fascism.

The 2 words go together to mean something more specific than either of them alone.

@manhandler said in Where is the Conservative Outrage?:

@bi4smooth And you've proven over multiple messages that you aren't discussing the topic, that there was a double digit fraudulent count of ballots. When a pallet of ballots says there are 500 ballots inside this box, and there's only 350, or there's 650, something is off, and your side sent hundreds of lawyers to shut down finding out what exactly was "off." Why it was 650 instead of 500. "We need to shut that down." No. We are not going to stop until we find out WHY. So get over it.

Look - the AZ Republican Party runs the Secretary of State's office there... they did their own audit (with Republican and Democrat witnesses).

BUT, as I've stated before... let's say you find 5million missing ballots in AZ, all of which are marked for Trump... there is nothing in our Constitution that allows for the Electoral College to re-vote. The Electoral College of 2020 met, voted (in mostly videotaped fashion), and the new President was inaugurated! It is a fait accompli!

The ONLY thing you can do to get Biden out of the White House now is:

• His death - in which case, the 25th Amendment kicks in
• His impeachment & conviction - in which case, the 25th Amendment kicks in

Under no feasible way - other than the 2024 election - will Donald Trump be returned to the White House as President!

This is a waste of time and a fantasy! All to support a cult of personality that is Donald Trump - still working to become the undisputed worst President in US History!

@manhandler said in The left is eating itself.:

@bi4smooth No what you're proposing is upside down world. It has killed lots of people, and it's on record.

If you had the ability to comprehend timelines and science, I'd bother to try to explain it to you again... but I'll just say again... these COVID-19 vaccines are the first of their kind... EVER.

@manhandler said in Keep that mask on your face you dirty human.:

@bi4smooth Yes well your argument falls to pieces because China is pure nationalist.

Nationalist yes, but Nationalism is not the same as Racism... you sure can conflate different topics, can't you...

@manhandler said in Where is the Conservative Outrage?:

@bi4smooth No you need to put it in your own words.

You're too lazy to actually read what I write anyway... you've proven that over multiple threads!

@manhandler said in The left is eating itself.:

@bi4smooth You are delusional. It has killed more people than all vaccines combined in the last ten years.

The mRNA vaccines have not killed anyone! While there have been some deaths that occurred shortly after the vaccine, there is no known link to the nRNA vaccines, and - more importantly - those deaths fall well within what statisticians say would be expected of people IN GENERAL of the ages that were getting the earliest doses of the mRNA vaccines.

But - and I know this is a bit harsh - if you want to eschew the new mRNA vaccines, I'm all for it! The faster your ilk die off from unprotected COVID-19, and soon (as-in 10-15 years) a multitude of other mRNA related treatments (not all will be technically vaccines), the better off the country will be as a whole. This is Darwinism at its core!

I want to be clear here: I don't wish any one person ill, and truly wish all could be helped... but when people refuse the treatments and die - essentially by their own hand - well, that's the Darwin effect! Survival of the fittest and the smartest!
