Reflecting on the bullshit from Ward and his comrades with regard to the All Star game and the voting laws in Georgia vs. Colorado:

”Tell us, Larry, if she were still here today, would you still beat your wife?


FUN stuff.”


You are literally a slag heap of human excrement.

But next time I go to the Cathedral I’m going to light a candle for you.

Hey, it was EXACTLY the same kind of  "argument" that was made by you to justify the label racist.

No.

Nothing at all.

Then we agree to disagree.

No.

I don’t agree to anything.

You’re wrong.

No. You're obstinate. My take is just different, and you have trouble accepting points of view that don't confirm to yours or confirm your own biases.

The end.

Hundreds of cars lined up along Hwy 18 into Mission, South Dakota as the remains of Native children were returned to their homelands.

Some terrorist site bemoaning the mistreatment of indians a century ago. Spreading the guilt? Something like that could not possibly happen in European or Muslim or banana republic countries? Wrong!

I never commented on the difference between voting laws in Georgia and Colorado because they are irrelevant and immaterial to the movement off the All Star game.
Anyone who read that article would draw the same conclusion.

And this, my liege, is why I believe the earth to be banana-shaped.

Insulting the intelligence: Reading the biased media you would have to come to the conclusion that overwhelmingly most Americans are for an influx of tens of millions of anchor babies and their extended families. Just a few meanies holding up the process?  No problem. Housing, jobs, social programs bursting at the seams, forget about it.

The articles The Daily Wire publishes don't normally include falsehoods (with some exceptions), and the site said it is committed to "truthful, accurate and ethical reporting."

But as Settle explains, by only covering specific stories that bolster the conservative agenda (such as negative reports about socialist countries and polarizing ones about race and sexuality issues) and only including certain facts, readers still come away from The Daily Wire's content with the impression that Republican politicians can do little wrong and cancel culture is among the nation's greatest threats.

An NPR review of stories on The Daily Wire about the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two months found numerous stories about potential side effects from COVID-19 vaccines, but none that portrayed the scientifically demonstrated efficacy of the vaccines or that focused explicitly on the hesitancy that has slowed the U.S. rollout.

Often the site's headlines seem like a conglomeration of conservative buzzwords: "CNN Medical Expert Urges We Must Make Life 'Hard' For Unvaccinated, Test Them Twice-Weekly" and "DeSantis Team Offers 'Don't Fauci My Florida' T-Shirt, Triggers Leftists."

NewsGuard, a company started by journalists that rates the credibility of news sites based on a number of factors, scores The Daily Wire a 34.5/100.

"They tend to not provide very much context for the information that they are providing," Settle said. "If you've stripped enough context away, any piece of truth can become a piece of misinformation."

Why can't you address the topic? Why is "what about X place?" relevant?

And this is not about a century ago, Luee. This is stuff that was happening in our lifetimes.

We have a number of posters who do this all the time simply so they can live with themselves and convince themselves they can support the country and a hostile fascist takeover of the country at the same time.

Those posters either support republicans or parrot republican talking points all the time. They contradict themselves and sound like assholes all the time. They are babies using their own turds as bath toys. As much fun as they are having splashing around like that, they don’t leave the water smelling very good.

Pediatricians call for masks in schools.

I imagine this will work much the same way the vaccinations have been working.

Yep.  Once people are hooked on Outrage News and its biased selection and context void, then we are deep in the Post-Truth Era. 

Post-Truth = Pre-Fascism.  Always has.

We need voter protections strong enough to be worth killing the filibuster for.

Keep marching.

Always punch a fascist.
