  1. Trump won WV by 39 points. This shot isn’t complicated
  2. You are triggered when folks point out excessive cancel culture is dumb? You think the Dems should embrace cancel culture and run with it at the top of the platform?
  3. I don’t think Babayaga is an idiot in terms of not being able to differentiate his pillow case from toilet paper. However, he clearly has been captured by right wing propaganda in this case. Was he also captured by Qanon, Jade helm, trump resuming office in August, CRT phobia, ukrainegate, Hillary’s emails, and Benghazi? Probably some of it. Everyone is susceptible to propaganda to a certain extent. Some are more vulnerable than others. Not everyone has an education and job experiences that allow for fine tuned critical thinking skills. Has our basic education system failed at preparing people for today’s information world? Hopefully not for the young. For older folks, their education clearly didn’t prepare them for this world. What do we do about that? Ideally, folks recognize they have a problem and have been duped at some point. Hopefully, they realize they are in a rabbit hole. That seems like a big step IMO. After that, it seems obvious they should cut out the blatant propaganda from their media diet - Tucker, daily caller, random you tubers, random twitter accounts, Facebook, and Fox News. And replace that with more moderate sources - WSJ, PBS, NPR, Texas tribune, Post, Times, AP, Reuters, austin American statesman.
  4. Warnock’s seat is up. His win was a special election since the previous dude resigned midway through his term
  5. I’m not thinking about WV and Manchin’s seat other than it is wild he is able to win there. WV doesn’t have a senate seat up for election in 2022. I’m thinking about NC, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Arizona in 2022.
  6. Manchin wins statewide elections as a democrat in a state that went for Trump by 39 points. Think about that for a second. WV was Trump’s second strongest showing, only behind Wyoming. There shouldn’t be an expectation that he totes 100% of the party line. The reality is that the GOP over performed expectations in 2020 and the Dems did not make enough gains in the Senate (Maine, North Carolina) to make the kind of drastic reforms needed. It sucks. It sucks a lot. Everyone knew it sucked immediately after the election. What is going on now shouldn’t be a surprise. I’m hopeful something happens. But I’m not expecting anything grand at this point. Hopes for true drastic democratic reforms such as DC and PR statehood, For the People Act, etc. will require Dem gains in the Senate in 2022.
  7. This isn't about a transaction. The DOJ isn't doing this so Biden can get some political win down the line. This is about a non-partisan DOJ doing what a non-partisan does. They determined trump was acting as a federal employee and are defending him as such. The courts may not allow it, which is fine. Having non-partisan agencies following established procedures is what we want from government. We don't want them driven by shifting political winds.
  8. Barr's DOJ set the precedent in this case. Statement by the plaintiff's attorney, "The DOJ’s position is not only legally wrong, it is morally wrong since it would give federal officials free license to cover up private sexual misconduct by publicly brutalizing any woman who has the courage to come forward." The DOJ may lose their appeal. That would be great IMO. However, this is what a non-partisan DOJ looks like.
  9. It is rather obvious that is what is going on here. Do you have source to the contrary? https://www.npr.org/2021/06/08/1004340386/biden-doj-plans-to-continue-to-defend-trump-in-e-jean-carrolls-defamation-lawsui
  10. One perceived downfall of putting Biden in office is that his team takes governing seriously and instead of playing politics, they follow regs, established guidance and procedures, and precedent. I’m assuming that is what the DOJ is doing here. I’m assuming there is established procedure on determining when an action by POTUS should be considered an action by a government employee and thus when it shouldn’t be defended by the government. We want our agencies to follow procedures rather than politics. I get is feels shitty. I get it is something to be embarrassed and ashamed about. I’m embarrassed that our gov attorneys are wasting tax money on this. If we don’t want to be embarrassed by this kind of stuff, we shouldn’t elect an utter clown to office.
  11. I’m more interested in your background. How would you describe your underlying education and experience in dealing with information? Where do you get most of your current information? I see you’ve shared some daily caller and another conspiracy site. You may have been the person that linked a video of Tucker Carlson. Do you get a lot of information from youtube? Twitter? Facebook?
  12. BabaYaga. What's your story? It seems possible you've been taken for a ride down the rabbit hole. Do you care to open up and tell us about yourself? FYI: The times published a great podcast about how folks get into the rabbit hole of misinformation. There was an good segment about a guy that was pushed into it by youtube's algorithms. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rabbit-hole/id1507423923
  13. Bullshit. “Sticks and stones” was taught to school age children. Gramps didn’t need a safe space. Gramps didn’t whine about name calling. Gramps wouldn’t have allowed himself to adopt the victimhood mentality that Trump sold to too many weak minded pussies. There are people on here literally complaining about name calling and folks defending them. I feel ashamed by this.
  14. Not only are you a victim of name calling on a message board, but you are also a victim in the real world!!!! Yes. We get it. You feel like a victim. That is the problem. Stop being a gaping pussy.
  15. My gramps sure as shit wouldn't be whining about being called a name on a message board. It is ok to be a gaping victim and whine about name calling on a message board because the other side thinks about ways to address wealth inequality? What is wrong with you?
  16. Holy fucking shit. My grandpa served during WWII and was a top notch man's man. Dude built his house with his own hands. He passed what he knew down to his grandkids. He was a true reflection of one of our greatest generations. I am so fucking glad he is no longer around to see how "conservative" Americans have turned into such gaping pussies. You are concerned about being called names? You are concerned about being misunderstood? Are you fucking for real? Please tell me you are being sarcastic and just trolling. Please! And people are upvoting your weakass shit. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Seriously. Where did all of this victimhood come from? Do you ever look in the mirror and think to yourself, "Oh my god! I am giant pussy!" Have you ever pondered on why you turned out this way? Was it the way you were raised? Did mommy tell you that you were always right? Is it the cable news show you watch nightly? Maybe the social media you consume? Whatever happened, please share so we can dissect and understand so that our children don't turn into giant gaping pussies.
  17. If he ends up running for governor, does he have to show his birth certificate?
  18. Ok. Thanks for providing. The accusation against fauci is that he lied to congress by saying he didn’t know the origin when he actually did know. The source you provided indicates scientist said the virus looked potentially engendered, but then a few months later published a paper saying the virus was not engineered. That interesting stuff but isn’t evidence he lied, from my understanding.
  19. Your claim was that Fauci stated to congress that he didn’t know the origin but that the emails prove he did know and that he was lying. At least, that was what it seemed you were claiming. I didn’t see that claim supported by the NY post article. Can you point where? Did it link the subject email, but I missed it?
  20. This is the second time I’ve asked for sources about various accusations. Both times the response is hand wave. You conspiracy theory guys suck at conspiracy theories.
  21. Do you have a source for this?
  22. It is possible you've cracked this thing wide open. I'm thinking of the Pelican Brief. It would be in your interest to lay low for a while. Paste this isn't a word document on a secure laptop. Then add sources. Get back to us if they haven't gotten you by then.
  23. Wow man. At first glance, this looks crazy as shit. Are all of these facts readily known by people here? Do you have any sources? Where were you first exposed to these ideas and this narrative? I'm not saying this isn't true, but feels a bit batshit without context or support.
