Theory NO MORE!

[LtLaszlo]

So, if you still think the 2020 (and 2022) elections were no rigged/stolen, you're not an Idiot, you're a complete MORON! If you don't get it after this week revelations, all hope is lost for you. And this doesn't even factor the other cheating, stuffing ballot boxes (2000 mules) and other shady BS that people resorted to.

Sources? Meaning the report itself that says an election was stolen or rigged? Or, as always, was this some partisan talking head spinning the report to say exactly what he wants you to hear? Or maybe more specifically, what you yourself decided what you want to hear?

Based on the FNC admission in the last settled case, how do you know that this isnt another liar that they knew was doing so but consider it newsworthy? Their words not mine. You would think they learned their extremely expensive lesson and there are two possibilities. They again knowingly put another liar on air considering it newsworthy. Or... they believe it. We the public have no way or knowing whether or not they do. Im sure their lawyers said 'keep your mouth shut'.

I certainly wouldnt use some talking head on their channel, nor any of their competitors,  to try and make my case.

Move it to political forum.   Do you go to politics forums to talk gaming?

[Sammy]

Some people say that this whole thing is a very bad game. Best uninstalled, starting by cancelling cable.

But yes, please go ahead and move.

Expected responses, except for the PDF (good stuff Mc), so at least some are trying to wake up the sheep. Easier to game and stay in the Happy Bubble I guess, until you can't. Oh, well, carry on! The arrest coming will be entertaining. Then maybe peeps will listen and get the picture. Just say NO to NWO!

I downloaded the report & will poke thru it at my leisure. Just wanted to grab a copy before it gets memory holed like so many other documents. You can lead a horse to water, but the majority are content being told they aren't thirsty.

Lincoln said the only way this nation could fall was by its' own hand. Sure looks like he was correct.

The report proves also that the Dems are pushing their communist agenda.  1st action of any communist plot.... imbed commies to sway elections and court cases by taking over all branches of government.  Then military enforcement of their will !!   Its the beginning of the end !!

I think the republicans are a brainwashed cult of complete lunacy and childish ineptitude, but that's just me. You should see what most of the republican politicians say on Twitter, its a goldmine of bullshit and entertainment, and a LOT of political extremists. That stupid march they all did last year on a political building was nothing short of a terror attack. Extremism doesn't have to be religious, or from external sources like the Middle East (which we had NO right to be in). Your biggest enemy is the one from within. I will say, that Republican supporters/cultists cry over spilt milk, and try to make everything swing their way, and act like complete children. Very quick to blame someone else, and make a big song and dance about it.  

The tough thing is, that people will believe what they want to believe, and when you have been exposed to a certain way of thinking for such a long time, you get conditioned to believe that's what is right; someone's political agenda fits what you would like, and what you believe should be right; but it doesn't mean it IS right. 

Though, this is someone from another country with their own shitty government, watching yours fall apart at the seams. You're all welcome to believe what you wanna believe, and I believe your entire country is fucked, and shit out of luck. Just like ours!  

Not to cause problems or offense but your government, much like mine, is ran by people too old and out of touch and very much in a class division to understand what the country needs. Don't give me the tripe of "they're older and more experienced." Our Tory party is such an out of touch, money grabbing and toxic scum sucking group that have no idea what is right for this place. As long as they line their pockets, its okay right? The older generation are a lot less accepting of change and new ideas, and want things how they were, not what they are or may be. Where as my generation, and the ones that follow are more accepting and open, championing inclusivity. Though saying that, we have our share of people that take it wayyy to far and make it all about them, and think that everything said against them is a personal attack and play the victim card. Those people piss me the hell off. 

 

Though, what can I say, I am an outsider looking in, and its different when you're in the situation! 

[TheLastColdBeer]

On that note, I'll sing in agreement. We have a load of Octogenarian people in government that just WON'T back away from the trough. They've made multiple millions grifting off the system, and they can't get enough, even though they're one foot in the grave. Show them the door, let somebody with a life left make decisions.

Side posty, most folks are conditioned now to apply a label to anyone that disagrees with them, even once. That automatically removes at least half the population from discussion. Bad move, and it's by design.

You are assuming younger politicians, raised on cable television and the internet, would do any better. Foolishness and zero critical thinking has no age requirement.

Since one side gets to compare the party they don’t like to a communist country, which in this case would be the USSR, the other side gets to compare the other to modern Russia. Far left, far right.
 

They are both arguably true. It’s old anyways and tired of hearing their propaganda meant only to take power even though unfortunately it’s working.  It’s more important to think about how the millions and millions in that country got rid of one only to be replaced by the other and what they are living with. Don’t want people to dissent? Pass a law that sends them to prison. And no real courts as a check. No appeals.

A good question is which side wants to fashion the courts in their own image. The answer is both. Do we really want either side, right and left, to succeed? The parties say it’s about the law when in fact it’s about what they want as the law. Partisans want this also. However the courts were meant to be, from the beginning, a check against partisans not enablers.

 

I suppose we can call the far left Bolshevik’s and the far right National Socialists. Wouldn’t be far from the truth. An interesting point is that who is the democrats Lenin and who is the republicans Hitler. The true believers. And both said they were on the side of ‘the people’… not including ‘them’. Each side had their own ‘them’.

On the subject of courts, a unanimous decision today held that tech firms cannot be held liable for the posts of its users in a specific example. In this case terrorism. The case basically asserted that Google etc were guilty of aiding and abetting. The court said otherwise. It’s a limited decision and doesn’t specifically address the political… and thus power seeking… attempts to make them responsible. That is to say, responsible for people that say things they don’t like nor want you to discuss.

Since it was unanimous, including the conservative majority, will be interesting to see what the partisans say. The court sided with the ‘big tech’ republican boogeyman. Of course both complain about big tech but republicans more so.

As much of a cess pool and propaganda filled mess that social media is, I wouldn’t want it to eventually go down the road of Russia, China, Iran, or any of the other usual suspects where companies like Google can be convicted of a state crime. Don’t forget Google getting into bed with the PRC’s state censorship.

On the other hand a state outright banned TikTok today. National security, decided by a state not federal, and privacy. Good propaganda since it will never work. And the SC decision suggests it will never survive even a single court challenge. So this question becomes, do you want the state to decide what apps you can use? Such as politically powerful big states Texas and California? This governor and legislature under direction of their party seem to think yes they do have that power.

Strictly speaking, it was signed into law as state security not national. But that term would not go over so well since it would show exactly what it is. State security over freedom.
