7 pointsThe funny thing is that at exactly the same time Brent is arguing that Fascism is Socialism, Winsor is arguing you should vote Fascist to prevent Socialism, and they will both back each other up without a hint of irony.

6 pointsReally? Biden created more jobs than Trump Biden created more manufacturing jobs than Trump Biden drilled more oil than Trump Biden had better stock market performance than Trump Biden added less debt than Trump The economy does better under Democrats and Democrats generally add less to the debt than Republicans. But sure, you don't go by feels, you go by facts.

5 pointsIt’s really quite simple: you start with the conclusion, for example “Trump good, Libs bad”, and you just work backwards from there to try and twist the facts into that form…Pro Tip: this is easier if you do it with a complete disregard for facts and/or previous statements that you yourself have asserted as facts. It truly is a flawless strategy.

5 pointsPeople who state Harris can’t articulate anything seem to have prejudice/misogyny, comprehension problems or the inability to speak English. As for Joe 2.0, he’s done a pretty good job, peacefully handed over the reigns to a younger candidate. I’d say he’s a pretty good act to follow.

5 pointsA Rabbi is teaching his student the Talmud and explains god created everything in this world to be appreciated, since everything is here to teach us a lesson. The clever student asks “What lesson can we learn from atheists? Why did god create them?” The Rabbi responds “God created atheists to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone who is in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that god commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality. And look at the kindness he can bestow upon others simply because he feels it to be right.” “This means” the Rabbi continued “that when someone reaches out to you for help, you should never say ‘I pray that god will help you.’ instead for the moment, you should become an atheist, imagine that there is no god who can help, and say ‘I will help you.'”

4 pointsIn the 1930s, if you didn't support Hitler, the Jews would win and destroy you. Today, if you don't support Trump, the Marxists/immigrants/RINOs/liberals will win and destroy you. Same story, different year.

4 pointsBill, thanks as always for your efforts. But the sad truth is that those of us here who are vehement anti Trumpers have long been too aware of how autocrats are made and wouldn’t trade our freedom or anyone else’s for a few more coins in the purse. The rest of us here either don’t care or don’t have the capacity to understand what the new reality would be living under Trump ver.2. Sadder is that all we can do now is hope.

4 pointsYeah I thought that was uncalled for too. But it happened after you started slinging shit at everyone else and dodging any kind of discussion of the point you supposedly came here to make. But it makes sense - every now and then you get to the point where you realise your faith and your politics are completely incompatible, so you come here and start a different fight to distract yourself until it goes away again.
-
4 pointsYep. No one is better at that than you, who have been claiming victimhood over a "DEI hire" for years. So, again, welcome to being woke (by your definition this time.) Fellow conservatives have followed suit: -Trump is a victim of the deep state who stole the 2020 election, and this justifies insurrections like Jan 6th. -Middle class Americans are victims of the New World Order, and this justifies violence against immigrants. -Conservatives are victims of evil journalists, and this justifies removing protections for a free press. -Whites are victims of the "poisoning of the blood" of America by lesser races, and this justifies murdering protesters. Victimhood is a central requirement for being a conservative these days.

4 pointsToday a filing by prosecutors was unsealed to allow the next indictment against Trump to begin. It had to be re-filed since the Supreme Court sought to shield Trump from culpability by claiming that the attempt to overthow the government was part of his official duties, and thus he was protected against prosecution. The filing states: "Although the defendant was the incumbent President during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one. Working with a team of private co-conspirators, the defendant acted as a candidate when he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, through fraud and deceit, the government function by which votes are collected and counted — a function in which the defendant, as President, had no official role. When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office."

3 pointsHeadlines today, “GOP concerned that fallout from Madison Square Garden rally will just distract from Trump’s message” I am pretty sure that the racist tripe that was spouted at Madison Square Garden is in fact… Trump‘s message.

3 pointsIf you like, but that ostensible truth doesn't void the fact that whatever was the brain chemistry rebalance, or sudden electrical storm, that caused the subject to grab a gun and murder his family is still a mystery. Nor does it void the fact that a butcher knife has the same utility. Of course the proliferation of guns in America is a huge contributor to these events, you won't get an argument from me, but clearly there is a lot more involved that can't be known from making a few jumps together or giving them a good look over. As I recall, Ted Bundy was a rather benign and pleasant looking fellow who preferred bludgeoning over shooting.

3 pointsWoke or un-woke, gender or mis-gendered, Trump loving or not, homosexual or straight or some variation, or sadly the feeling that you must kill those closest to you to escape, and on and on. What goes on at the level of the brain defies any possible current understanding. It might be intellectually satisfying to be reductionist, and certain, but things and our personal understandings are always more complex. The truth is that we really don't have a clue why we feel the way we do or why we act on those feelings the way we do. But we each and every one of us is always on the precipice of being something other than we think we are. Hence, judge not your fellow beings for their quirks because you just cannot know whether or not you are next up.

3 pointsOld couple had been married for 65 years and he was on his death bed. He tells the wife the combination to a safe that he had always told her to never look in. Inside the safe was $40,000 and three eggs. This of course puzzled her. She asked him what the three eggs & the $40,000 meant. He said, ‘Every time I was unfaithful to you I put an egg in the safe.’ She was not happy but said, 'I guess that’s not too bad for 35 years.' He continued, 'Every time I got a dozen eggs I sold them. That’s where the $40,000 came from.’ Jerry Baumchen

3 pointsWith all due respect to the very sincere and well intentioned people, I really think America needs to stop saying that they set the global standard for decorum, rule of law and democracy in the world. Yes once upon a time that was true, but American politics is now a clown show. Trump is the ring master, but the list is endless JD Vance, Mike Johnson, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell… The Supreme Court, Elon Musk, The so called rule of law has been shown to be an illusion- if it wasn’t Trump would be in jail many years ago. Empires rise and fall, the American public are the biggest victims, it will hurt the rest of the world as well. Sorry Kamala but I disagree with your view that America still sets the standard. It’s incredible that in the past 25 years we have had 9/11, Global Financial Crisis, Brexit, and Covid. Yet the current American crisis feels like all of those pale in comparison.

3 pointsA 15-year-old boy accused of killing his parents and three siblings at their home in Washington state shot them and then called police to claim that one of the victims killed his family and then himself, according to court documents. The boy was charged Thursday with five counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the slayings Monday morning in Fall City. Two adults and three children — 7, 9 and 13 years old — were found dead shortly before 5 a.m. Monday after a shooting was reported at a home in the Lake Alice Road neighborhood in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/15-year-old-charged-killing-parents-3-siblings-washington-rcna176893 "The surviving 11-year-old sibling told police that her 15-year-old brother shot her and her family with a Glock handgun that belonged to their father, the probable cause statement says." The gun most likely to kill you is one that you own.

3 pointsYes, that's how Hitler worked it. "You are victims of the immigrants/liberals/woke people/Marxists who are stealing your jobs and killing you!" Never mind that Germans were killing THEM - indeed, one of the planks Hitler campaigned on was that he would not seek the death penalty for Germans who murdered immigrants. Trump is following the same path. Oh, Harris absolutely can. She is not a rapist or a felon. No one in her administration is now in jail for crimes against the United States. That is objectively "sucking less." Of course, that is only true in reality. In the MAGAverse where immigrants are eating all the cats and dogs, thousands of children are being forcibly converted to the opposite sex every day and Mexicans (not Trump) are raping American women - it all makes perfect sense. But how to mislead the people on that scale? Both Hitler and Trump have what Hitler called "the Big Lie." Hitler postulated that ordinary people wouldn't believe that he "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." And indeed many did not; many Germans honestly believed that Jews were poisoning the blood of Germany, and would lead to its collapse. Trump has his "they are eating the dogs! They are eating the cats!" - and indeed, his followers regularly state things like "come on! He wouldn't lie about something like THAT." Goebbels put it this way: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." But to get the Big Lie out there you need a media apparatus, to "shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie." Hitler had Hugenberg, a media mogul who owned several newspapers and movie houses. They published papers and made movies about Hitler, all glowing and positive. Hitler playing with children. Hitler hiking, enjoying the beauty of nature. Hitler fighting for the common man. Trump, of course, has Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, who does the same thing for Trump. Trump working at a McDonald's just like ordinary Americans. Trump protecting Americans from MS13. Regular announcements how Trump won this debate or that poll. Supporting Trump because he's doing as good a job as Hitler did is not, IMO, a wise course to take. Even if he does promise to deal with the evil, scheming, criminal Jews immigrants.
-
3 pointsYes, clearly there are many Americans who would prefer a right wing dictator over social change that involves treating people of all kinds with respect and dignity. Hitler also was able to tap into people's innate tribalism and distrust of others. You have shown that you understand Trump's appeal and that of the MAGA fear mongers. What side are you going to choose? And please stop with the communist/socialist boogeyman drivel. In the current two party system in the US there is no socialist option. Just two different choices each dominated by capitalist ideology and each supported by various billionaires trying to become trillionaires.

3 pointsIncorrect. If none of those things existed, they would just make up some other boogieman to hate on.... kinda like you do. You cannot have fear and hatred without creating something to fear and hate

3 pointsI’m not going to say I’m surprised that you are a literal Nazi apologist, but I didn’t expect you to let your facade slip far enough to actually say it out loud. See that is actually a great point seeing as Harris is a paid up member of Antifa and BLM. Wait, she actually has nothing to do with them and you’re talking utter shite as usual? Go figure.

3 pointsHow is calling Trump supporters 'Deplorables' unacceptable? It was those people who tried to run a Biden campaign bus off the road in Texas. The sheriff who didn't respond to calls for help settled a lawsuit. The participants are facing one. It was those people who made death threats against the poll workers Trumpty Dumpty and his minions claimed falsified ballots. Giuliani lost a large lawsuit over that. And it was 'baskets of deplorables' who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6. What in those people's (and a LOT of others) behavior doesn't constitute 'deplorable'? It's one thing to point out behaviors that are not acceptable. It's 'a whole 'nother thing' to accuse people who don't agree with you of being 'enemies' and to threaten to send the military to kill them.

3 pointsOver 31,000 well documented LIES from Trump during his presidency. Tell us how Trump kept his word about having a plan to replace Obamacare. Tell us how Trump kept his word about releasing his tax returns. Tell us how Trump kept his word about Mexico paying for his wall. He said he wouldn’t have time to play golf if elected president. But he made more than 250 visits to his golf clubs — a record for any president. He promised to be “the voice” of American workers. He wasn’t. His administration stripped workers of their rights, repealed overtime protections, rolled back workplace safety rules, and turned a blind eye to employers who steal their workers’ wages. He promised that the average American family would see a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Trickle down didn't happen. He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs and said drug companies are “getting away with murder.” He didn't do it. He promised to revive the coal industry and bring back lost coal mining jobs. The coal industry lost jobs. He promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private email server. He didn’t. Instead, Trump used his personal cellphone for official business, and several members of his own administration, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka, used private email in the White House. He promised “six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.” He didn’t. He promised to bring an end to Kim Jong Un’s nuclear program. Kim expanded North Korea’s nuclear program. He said he would distance himself from his businesses while in office. He didn't. He promised that tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations would spur economic growth and pay for themselves. His tax cuts added $2 trillion to the federal deficit. The list of broken Trump promises goes on and on. And fools continue to believe him

3 pointsThis dude doesn't have much of a backbone to stand up straight. "I don't want a king" but I support total immunity for Trump Trump: there is a concerted effort to bring him down. He is such a victim Clinton: If you've got money and power, you can get out of stuff. You'll say anything to keep your own biases alive. You don't stand for any facts, you don't understand truths, you just bend in the wind like a mindless drone. No wonder you are so excited by neuralink.

3 pointsYou said that you think Trump can bring you a conservative view of America. I have a couple of questions -- one, why didn't he last time, particularly when he had the House and Senate too? Why wasn't he willing to deal with the Democrats who were willing to deal with him, and giving him a part-of-the-cake bill for border control? And why was he unwilling to have the bipartisan border deal go through this year? He plays hardball politics, at the expense of the American people, and I see that as a problem. The second on is what do you see as a conservative-led America? Do I have the same rights I did before? Do I have the same respect as a human being as I had before, or am I more subject to someone else's norms? I see a country where people can, in fact, be gay and happy about it; a country where access and opportunity are there, rather than controlled so that only the 'right' decisions can be made (even when those decisions don't take modern situations or technology, or even human nature, into account). I see a country where fear isn't a driving force. I see a country where the transition of power for each and every publicly elected job is peaceful, rather than dependent on who has the deepest pockets to sue for victory. To me, that last is one of the single most important things that makes America great; I've lived where that wasn't true, and there was a lot more fear. Fear weakens and destroys people; it's a blunt tool of limited power. Wendy P.

3 pointsI share the logical end-point from which your post is coming….I wish I shared your confidence that the outcome will be logical. Seems almost certain that Harris will win the popular vote, but to Nigel’s point: the electoral college and GOP Tom-fuckery will likely result in a nail-biter. It’s a sad truth.

3 pointsto his base? It makes zero difference. They have been making excuses for shitty & criminal behavior since 'grab em by the pussy'. If Donald Trump raped their children in front of them, they would find a way to justify it.

3 pointsWhen I was 13 my life expectancy was given in minutes and I was given enough pain killer meds to knock out a horse. I survived with some minor insight into addiction. One effect of those drugs is profound indifference. Things that should matter simply don't. Getting clean requires faith - not so much in a Prime Mover of the Universe as that the trials and tribulations of life can be faced with serenity. Things don't change but we can. My last beer was when Ronald Reagan was in office so my experience is dated, but the weird thing is that being clean and sober has precisely nothing to do with drink or drugs and everything to do with living life on life's terms. With a good support system and the willingness to change, he has a shot. Good luck, Winsor

3 pointsOk, let me dig through my AAD files for early 2011...because I'm pretty sure I downloaded whatever was linked to from this thread 13 years ago. I don't know what exactly was linked to from here, but I have a couple candidate files, uploaded here, that are both anonymous: -- One is a big attack on CYPRES. (I haven't looked at it lately but I think some of the criticism may be valid even if overdone overall. Cypres certainly had its issues in the early days, like never admitting errors unless it had to, and including a bad sensor issue or claiming you'd never be able to fire it in a swoop -- until Adrian Nicholas died.) -- One is a big attack on VIGIL. (They were having all sorts of issues & bulletins back then. ) -- I have also attached a 3rd document, one by Kirk Smith at ParaConcepts. Mostly about Argus, but also about cutter designs in general. I think that document is pretty well thought out and not a partisan attack. It also came out in that era of the AAD Wars as I call it. ( 2011 was particularly busy, judging by the number of AAD related files with a 2011 date on my hard drive.) VIGIL INCIDENTS HISTORY (Anti vigil - mostly cut from other reports).pdf CYPRES_AAD_FACT_SHEET (odd independent criticism by someone).pdf Whats Going On With AADs Kirk Smith.pdf

3 pointsWho in the Great Wide Fuck is hoping for any of this?!?!? Stronger storms are a reality of climate change. The science is pretty clear, and actually pretty easy to understand for anybody willing to pull their fingers out of their ears long enough to learn about it. Nobody is hoping that you're wrong and that more people suffer devastation...some people are trying to point out how ass-backwards your predictions are, but methinks they're underestimating how dug in you are....I know I gave up a while ago

3 pointsTrump on disaster funding for hurricane Helene victims: "The Harris-Biden administration says they don’t have any money [for hurricane relief]. … They spent it all on illegal migrants. … They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them." Reality: DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. . . .We are meeting the moment. We have the immediate needs right now, on a continuing resolution." So why did he make that claim? Because there's _another_ FEMA program called the Shelter and Services program that give funds to nonprofits to house immigrants. DHS again: "FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters. The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA’s disaster-related authorities or funding streams.” Did any president actually do this? Why yes - Trump did. In 2019, Trump informed Congress that he was taking $155 million from the disaster fund to pay for temporary US hearing locations for asylum seekers who have been forced to wait in Mexico. “The U.S. is facing a security and humanitarian crisis on the Southern border,” a Trump spokesperson said in its notice that it was redirecting the funds. This left them shorthanded, as there were 18 storms that affected the US that year, killing 121 people. As always, with republicans, accusation is confession.

Nobody recognizes them as a tax and a source of inflation. The courts don't work and poor Donald is a victim of the weaponization of the DOJ. On and on. There are exceptions to the trump cult and Liz Cheney comes to mind. But for every Cheney there is a Elon Musk. Which goes to show that eternal vigilance for the perversion of a good government is necessary. The need for a free press and free vote.
