  2. Guys it's Gary Peterson. It's all photoshopped. That's like his whole thing
  3. This is exactly why many Americans are supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine.

    This is patently untrue. The problem, as it has been discussed ad nauseum, is that one of our major political parties peddles untruths, conspiracy theories, and racist/anti-Semitic narratives. Exclusively. Can you provide an example of a contemporary GOP principal that does NOT demonize or villify a group? -The media is the enemy of the people -Immigrants "poison the blood of our country" -Democrats are the party of pedophiles -Gay people want to groom our kids. they are also pedophiles -Trans people want to groom our kids. They are also pedophiles. -Leftists want to indoctrinate children. They are also pedophiles. -College Professors are leftist agitators trying to indoctrinate students. -The 2020 election was stolen by Democrats! -Joe Biden is an illegal president. He should be imprisoned or executed. -Women should be imprisoned or executed if they have an abortion. Even if its to save their own life. -Muslims should not be allowed to enter the country. -Russia is a good, Christian nation and they are only defending themselves from Ukrainian Nazis. -Vaccines are dangerous. -Climate change is a hoax perpetuated by Democrats to push their green narrative. The above are not just positions you see in conspiracy theory chat rooms. They are the mainstream, national political positions of the GOP, echoed by the leader of the GOP and his minions on a regular basis. So, if you are a member or ally to ANY of the above groups, and someone tells you that "yes, Muslims should not be able to enter our country," or "hey, you're probably ok, but I don't trust the Trans community and see no problem with people exercising their 2nd amendment rights outside gatherings of Trans individuals," or "gay people probably shouldn't be telling their students that they're gay" then its hard to see how its anything but a direct attack on you and your way of life. Gone are the days where we sit around arguing about marginal tax rates, military spending, and the role of the government at large. What does constructive dialogue look like between a member of a targeted group and someone seeking their removal or erasure?

  6. Well, guess I know why he didn't address this one. He doesn't think it's a lie.
  7. Yeah, truly enlightened now that you've shared that we should "get back to killing all the communists and progressives." Nice diversity of opinion. What was your previous username(s)?
  8. Lol at Pronghorn finally feeling safe enough to make political posts in the DT now that his buds have all arrived
  9. In retrospect, maybe. But not necessarily at the time. Hell, in a Gallup poll taken shortly after 4 college students were killed by the national guard while protesting, 58 percent of respondents blamed the students. Also this:
  10. Well, you guys need somewhere to discuss leftist group think, and we've seen how scary the CR can be. You're safe here.
  11. This is my main beef with Hartzell - that the governor of the State publicly supported the arrests of ALL of the protestors based on the content of their message. And Hartzell just fucking sat there. THAT is the moment when a University President is supposed to lead.
  12. Can you name a Biden lie that is equal-to-or-worse than the continued assertion that Joe Biden and the Democratic party illegally rigged the 2020 presidential election in multiple states to override the will of the people and install Biden as an unelected despot?
  13. I saw what happened the last time a large group of people wearing MAGA gear marched on a building. We can't let that happen again, obviously, so we should start cracking skulls when they start to gather. Ok, I'm sold.
  14. fine, we'll get opaque tents
  15. Anyone ever been to Mian? Not new, I guess, but I just learned that they have a Houston location. Is one of my favorite noodle/szechuan shops in all of LA. https://www.yelp.com/biz/mian-houston
  16. its the internet, stupid. The rise of anonymous social media platforms allowed individuals to discuss and celebrate what had heretofore been markers of failure and shame. See, 2chan in Japan and the Otaku. See, 4chan in the west and Incels.
  17. Damn, I've never had co-counsel on a single trial. The best is when you get to leave your client alone at the table while you go into chambers for a sidebar. I've come back several times to have the bailiff whisper in my ear that my client was doing some weird shit by himself while the jurors just watched in silence.
  18. Belichick? The guy who waited 6 rounds to draft Tom Brady?
  19. This really looks like an AI image for some reason
  20. Curious why you think that the alumni at UT are so out of step with the majority of Americans. Especially when you consider that the majority of UT Alumni are white with college degrees? A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel’s military actions in Gaza, in a pronounced shift from November, according to a new poll released by Gallup on Wednesday. In a survey conducted from March 1-20, 55 percent of U.S. adults said they disapproved of Israel’s military actions — a jump of 10 percentage points from four months earlier, Gallup found. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/27/world/middleeast/military-action-americans-gaza.html
  21. I guess this is a good place as any to remind folks that many Americans were HAPPY with the 4 dead at Kent State. Seeing college students protesting really breaks brains for some reason.
  22. I'm a limited government guy! I whine about college censorship! Also, will the State please crack these protesters skulls because I disagree with their message.
