So here we have a GOP committee headed by Jim Jordan, who disrespected Congressional subpoenas when he ignored one issued to him by the Jan. 6th Committee, complaining that Mark Pomerantz disrespected Congressional subpoenas...which now that Jim Jordan is the one issuing them, totally should be respected now.

Now, tell me you're not an attorney without telling me you're not an attorney.

@blablarg18 said in Former Prosecutor Against Trump Takes the Fifth in Deposition Before GOP Committee:

USA "5th Amendment" only lets you refuse questions WHEN. ANSWERS. WOULD. INCRIMINATE. YOU.

Nope.

@blablarg18 said in Former Prosecutor Against Trump Takes the Fifth in Deposition Before GOP Committee:

USA 5th does NOT allow refuse questions because you feel like it.

I'll give you this one.

@blablarg18 said in Former Prosecutor Against Trump Takes the Fifth in Deposition Before GOP Committee:

Only because your target of a criminal case - which Pomerantz isn't yet

This hasn't been true since the 1800's.

@blablarg18 said in Former Prosecutor Against Trump Takes the Fifth in Deposition Before GOP Committee:

and answes would incriminate u more, like making u testify against urself.

Nope.

First, good on the police for catching a sex offender.

Second, I'm pretty sure drag queens right now, just like everyone else, can't perform in retirement homes because virtually all of them are still on COVID lockdown, i.e., no one in or out unless you're visiting a specific resident. I know before my grandmother passed, we were reduced to seeing/speaking with her through glass like a prison.

And third, this trans person's last sexual crime is interesting in the sense that I don't think they would even have been prosecuted here in my state. They were a 19 year old having consensual gay sex with a 17 year old. I think my state's version of a Romeo & Juliet statute would render that not a crime.

@raphjd I'm not her fan and I carry no water for her; however, it is particularly rich of him to criticize her for accepting lavish gifts in the same monologue within which he praised and defended Clarence Thomas.

@raphjd said in Are liberals really that stupid?! (banning guns):

St Obama of Racial Division was a gun runner and the ATF was his bitches.

I love the selective memories of conservatives. The gun walking programs of the ATF, which were started in 2006, are surely all Obama's fault...you know, the guy that wasn't President until 2009.

@raphjd said in Whiny liberal member wants me removed so he can have an echo chamber.:

Oddly, the most recent liberal bragged about how great he has been on the site, to justify why he should get his way. WHen I checked his account, the site says he is using multiple IP addresses.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the liberal you're talking about, but just wanted to comment that couldn't the multiple IP addresses be explained by a VPN service?

Also, it's rich for the conservatives here to be complaining about echo chambers. This portion of the Forum is basically a conservative echo chamber/circle jerk 99 days out of 100. Frankly, I just come here to post every so often just to kick that hornet's nest and laugh at the insane responses from @raphjd, his sock puppets, and parrots.

House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden

@blablarg18 I imagine it's because, despite your bullshit news sources choice of headline words, it isn't a "massive legal victory." The case is not over; it was just a decision on a preliminary motion to dismiss, within which the rules of civil procedure state that the judge must presume, for purposes of deciding the motion, that the facts alleged by the non-moving party are true.

In other words, The Dustin Inman Society haven't proven their allegations as true. The court had to presume them true for purposes of deciding the motion.

Far from a massive legal victory, the lawsuit has barely even started.

How is this thread not duplicative of my post, which was posted first?

Do we get two posts about the trial? One with an article from an actual newspaper and another from whatever bullshit @blablarg18 reads?

Jury Finds Trump Liable for Sexual Abuse and Defamation

So, the presumptive GOP nominee for President in 2024 has now been found to be a sexual abuser and defamer.

Imagine trying to portray yourself as the Party of High Morals and Christianity, and having such a person be your party's leader.

These Are the Charges Against George Santos

Posted here because the conservatives here previously decided that they support Santos and refuse to acknowledge he did anything wrong.

He had political donors donate approximately $50,000 to a fake super-PAC (RedStone Strategies), which he then transferred to himself and paid off his car and credit cards as well as purchased luxury goods and designer clothing.

He has also been scamming the State of New York out of unemployment benefits since June 2020 by hiding the fact that he was employed by a Florida-based investment firm, illegally collecting more than $25,000 in benefits.

Also, he lied to Congress on his financial disclosures by overstating his income from one business and failed to disclose the salary from the Florida-based investment firm. It also appears that his claim to have been paid $750,000 (plus $1 to $5 million in dividend payments) from Devolder Organization never happened.

He claimed to have used these payments as the source of funds for the over $700,000 personal donation to his second House campaign. So, where did the money come from, then?

Having said the above, I now cue the conservatives to run into this post and post their "But what about..." in order to ignore the crimes committed by one of the GOP's representatives.

@blablarg18 said in Gay Pride Flag & Woke-fascism:

For instance, another thread, you post a pic of EMPTY DESTROYED pregnancy and go "Ha that's a child (pregnancy) pic and conservatives so dumb for even beginning to think it's a child" in full self-contradiction mode.

What the fuck are you talking about, you moron? The photo I uploaded was a photograph of a blastocyst pulled directly from a blog entry on the University of North Carolina's fertility center's website.

See the original here

Man, you got to stop lying here on this Forum. It's like you're nearly incapable of a rational, truthful conversation. Instead, you think fighting me is a continuation of a fight you were having with someone else, or maybe a fight with one of the voices in your head.

Maybe libs meme poorly to you because the libs underestimate how dumb you are.

@raphjd said in Gay Pride Flag & Woke-fascism:

Clearly, you believe what your cult tells you.

Clearly, you do as well. You have no gnosis, secret knowledge, that the rest of us do not.

@blablarg18 said in Gay Pride Flag & Woke-fascism:

Hey genius, you just admitted J6 "insurrection" was fake.

So, are you retarded or something? Did your mother drop you one-too-many times on your head?

The cartoon is mocking the GOP's beliefs about the named things, not insinuating that those things don't exist in the first place.

For example, clearly Critical Race Theory exists; it's taught in colleges across the country. But the GOP's ideas that our children in grade schools are being indoctrinated in it is the nonsense.

I don't think the cartoon has to be explained to anyone here but you. Libs aren't bad at memes; conservatives are just bad at interpreting. I guess that's why so many conservative memes just come straight out and say things; no similes or metaphors.

The problem is that dumb asses like you all keep calling the following a child:

@blablarg18 It was my understanding that only the brown stripe represents communities of color. The blue/pink stripes are the trans community and the black stripe represents our community lost to AIDS.

Imagine having to live with so much internalized homophobia.

@blablarg18 said in Detransitioner speaks:

As I've explained elsewhere, Trans so-called "science" is famously, FAMOUSLY, politicized, biased, whitewashed.

So, what I'm reading is that you reject modern statistical science, and instead think we should rely on cherry-picked anecdotal science. I see...you're a moron then? Well, that's cleared up then.

Update: So, it looks like prior to the Dominion lawsuit, FOX hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (fyi, one of the largest law firms and THE most profitable one in America) to investigate Tucker Carlson, his show, and his staff. Looks like it was WLRK's reporting that prompted Carlson's firing. So much for everyone's conspiracy theories.
