No shit. Great job, guys, in letting a bullshit obfuscation about “aLL pOliTiCIaNs aRe CorRUpt!!!!” derail discussion from the actual issue - a violent man fueled by right wing conspiracy theories and violent rhetoric from elected Republicans and their ubiquitous foreign owned media ecosystem beat an 80 year old man in the head with a hammer in an attempted assassination of the Speaker of the House.

Shocker, this article and the report it’s based on are full of mistranslations, misinterpretations, and shoddy methodology and conclusions. Here’s three threads that explain. (^Chinese-Anerican data scientist) (^Virologist and professor) (Journalist who reports on media bias and misinformation)

Yes the problem is Democrats with rich spouses and those of us who get angry and raise our voices in hyperbole against violent republican terrorists.

Obama has been stumping in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin all in the last 24 hours. And he’s been on FIRE. There’s a bunch of clips on that ^ Twitter account and they’re all spectacular.

Yang ran in the Democratic primary. So did Tulsi fucking Gabbard and Bernie Sanders. Doesn’t make any of them Democrats. You just decried politicians who run to get into politics to fleece Americans. Look no further than the “brilliant” Yang who started a stupid new “party” which coincidentally was announced on the publication date of his new book. A book that shares the same name of said stupid new “party”. Like I said, your opinions are good for a scoff and a giggle. Maybe you should try paying attention.

What in the Charlottesville is going on at A&M????

Oooooof. The fact that you see The Libertarian Party as positive and think Andrew Yang is brilliant or a Democrat tells me your opinions and arguments aren’t worthy of anything but a scornful giggle.

Yeahhhhhh I don’t like this.

Just this week, Ilhan Omar was absolutely blasted by right wing morons for having security at her home - the whole “YOU HATE GUNS YET YOU HAVE PRIVATE SECURITY!” bullshittery. Nancy Pelosi has been a powerful Democrat for literally decades - and a lightning rod for the right for just as long. But until Trump and his brigade of violent asshole minions, the day to day safety of her family wasn’t a real concern. Her husband has never really been part of her public political life - I doubt most people even knew what his first name was or what he looked like until now. This new breed of crazies - thanks to right wing online hate gatherings - research and spread their information. Now one dedicated nutso with good research skills (or access to law enforcement databases - Trumpy elements in the Secret Service or FBI or local agencies?) can spread their findings to thousands. I also imagine it’s pretty difficult to persuade a rich ass 80 year old man to allow security precautions to invade his home and life. Anyone trying to find a small crack to obfuscate and muddy the waters on what this actually is - an attempted assassination on the third in line to the presidency - is shitferret of the highest order.

If you’re in Houston, you might get a funny visitor at your door!

No worries. Everything is totally fine.

But it isn’t inconsequential. Rhaenerya is the Queen. But at the moment she needs to be in the war council her body betrays her and takes her out of the action. She’s already fighting against the societal idea that women can’t be rulers solely because they’re women. Giving birth is the sole domain of women and the fact that she has no choice but to remove herself at that moment gives credence to those who argue against her reign because she’s a woman. She not only has to fight The Greens but her own body. Daemon’s daughter is also being born but he has no restraint on his participation in the war council planning. Rhaenerya is the only one whose life is in imminent danger at that moment - because she’s a woman giving birth. A premature birth brought on by the betrayal of Alicent and the theft of her birthright. Maybe Rhaenerya flies to Storm’s End instead of Lucerys if she isn’t recovering. Maybe The Blacks get to Storm’s End before Aemond if their planning isn’t delayed by waiting on the birth and the funeral. The show told us in episode one - There are no inconsequential battles or births in the story.

Yeah no. “Policing our own”???? That’s just meaningless palaver to try and seem above it all. Playing nice just ensures the violent assholes steamroll the decent people and win. I’ll worry about that when an elected Democrat or Democratic candidate or pundit or liberal thought leader calls for violence.

He seems pretty pointed to me.

See?

I’m so glad he’s going to be campaigning.

Yes yes. An anonymous nobody on a University of Texas football message board is very equivalent to -A former president -Members of the former president’s administration -Sitting members of Congress -Every anchor and talking head guest on the most watched cable channel -85% of republicans running in elections to become representatives, senators, governors, and a multitude of state and local offices -The new owner of the most influential social media platform -Host of the biggest podcast on Spotify Etc etc etc etc

lol Funny, relaxed shade throwing Obama is the best Obama.

Pretty cool.

You could have the same plot points without showing the beheadings or the geldings or the removal of tongues or the battles. But no one is bitching about those graphic details or the other multiple painful bloody and ultimately fatal scenes of a child losing an eye or getting eaten by a dragon or being forced to battle other children in a fighting pit. A lot of the same folks fretting over bloody birth scenes are also complaining about not enough battles. And acknowledging this story revolves around two women and these births are a central element is not a “kink”. Viserys doesn’t name Rhaenerya his heir or spend the rest of his life consumed with guilt or marry Alicent if Aemma doesn’t die in childbirth. Rhaenerya doesn’t have the realm against her or have her legitimacy as Queen questioned and threatened without the birth of her first three sons. Daemon isn’t free to marry Rhaenerya if Laena doesn’t die in childbirth. Rhaenerya doesn’t hit rock bottom without losing her daughter in childbirth. There have been SIXTEEN pregnancies in this season (Aemma - 1, Alicent - 4, Laena - 3, Rhaenerya - 6, Helaena - 2) and we have seen four. No one loves these scenes but they are important.

Oh horseshit. Only one side is espousing and excusing violence. Only one side is using dehumanizing lies and conspiracy theories to paint the other side as subhuman and inspiring their followers to want to kidnap and assault and murder. Only one side is actively stripping women and gays and Black and Brown people of rights. Only one side attacked our government in a violent attempted coup. Only one side has political leaders excusing the violence and the most watched news network doing the same. So excuse the fuck out of the other side for reacting to threats and attacks and assaults and attempted murder and actual murder with rage. Y’all bitch and bitch and bitch about Democrats being pussies and weak messaging and yet fall for the “both sides” narrative and play right into these right wing terrorists hands by expecting one side to be fair and rise above it all and be the adults. This battle cannot be fought by being above it all and working within the old ways.

This poor poor man.

And don’t forget this cunt killed someone while driving drunk.
