Setting aside the obvious apples to oranges comparison, unless MTG believes that flight 93 was actually shot down. Given that she’s questioned what happened at the Pentagon I wouldn’t put it past her.

You also have to consider that the government probably wanted to have a sense of where this stuff would come down for several reasons. First, minimize risk of debris impact. Second, the intel community would presumably want to get access to it first. I would think the intel people want to get a sense of where it will land so they could get their people in place to gather it before souvenir hunters. Part of why there are all those Area 51 conspiracies has to do with experimental aircraft that go off course, crash land and the military has to rush onto some rancher’s property to collect the items before some classified details get leaked. we we don’t know what else was in that balloon. Our phones have heavy metals and other chemicals we don’t want getting in our soil or water. Now imagine what something the size of a school bus would have? Imagine this thing lands in a farmer’s field or leaches into a community’s groundwater?

@Zinnia #154751

I’m actually not so sure it’s all that inconsistent when you factor in that their worldview genuinely precludes people from actually being any shade of queer and actively tries to deny or suppress evidence to the contrary.

When you look at it through this perspective then the only reason that somebody could be queer is if they have been manipulated into it. Hence, their focus on queer adults as “groomers”.

~~The region is close to Lake Tahoe and was home to the 1960 Olympics so I’m guessing that there’s also a lot of money at stake for various resort related businesses.~~

Update: seems that’s a different part of California which already changed its name to Olympic Valley.

That said, the opponents of this had over two years to raise objections with the state and federal governments. No doubt they would have taken those things into consideration before making the final ruling. So it’s totally dishonest for him to claim that nobody was listening.

They didn’t hang her but during World War II the UK used an eighteenth century law to send a medium away for nine months. Mostly because she had found out through the grapevine about a classified sinking of a Royal Navy ship.

Well let’s see this old history book. What’s that? Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia were independent countries between 1918 and 1940? What could possibly have happened? Maybe an illegal annexation following a secret alliance between the worlds worst two men?

Huh and it says here something about the brief emergence of a Ukrainian state following the fall of the Czar.

And what’s this? Moldova was previously a part of Romania?

The central Asian republics have histories and cultures stretching back thousands of years!? WHO’s have guessed!?

To be fair James Madison’s objection to the Bill of Rights was that he believed that people with assume that by listing all the rights out in the text it would make people think that those are the only rights the we have. Like how the current SCOTUS thinks about things like body autonomy, voting, and non discrimination. Hence, vague ones like the 9th and 10th amendments.

various commenters #transphobia

Let’s have a look at Dr. Gregory Staton’s 10 Stages:

i. Classification: Creating an “us vs. them” dynamic. Rather than attempting to look for commonalities you seek to divide trans people from the rest of us.
ii. Symbolization: The language that you have been using. I don’t have space to list every one of your slurs.
iii. Discrimination: Bathroom bills. Laws prohibiting gender affirming care.
iv. Dehumanization: All of the times you’ve compared them to animals. Utilizing “groomer” language against them.
v. Organization: The times you’ve cheered on those paramilitaries showing up at drag shows or pride parades. The various legal armies who are dedicated to appealing to the stacked courts to deny people their rights.
vi. Polarization: Political leaders talking about trans existence like it’s a question and constantly promoting “groomer” lies.
vii. Preparation: The Texas attorney general’s office demanding information on anybody who changed their sex markers on their driver’s license for “reasons”.

So I guess that means we’re up to…
viii. Persecution: The first parent or doctor prosecuted for “child abuse” for affirming care for their kids will be this stage.

And what’s left?
ix. Extermination
x. Denial

Tomi Lahren #conspiracy #wingnut

Go back to late early April of 2020 and everybody regardless of their political views was on board with masks and strict public health measures. What changed is that an orange felon suddenly got concerned with reelection chances and put his short-term political interests ahead of the long term needs of the country. Pretty soon pretty much every Republican followed in his footsteps and became hostile to masks and COVID controls.

So Tomi, who exactly is in control of who?

I think your response is fair even if you no longer identify as a Christian. This person has laid claim to the entirety of Christianity which is a hugely diverse thing and asserted that it’s main purpose is to deny queer people rights in society. Really, who the hell do people like this think they are? And if he feels like he has the right to decide for all of his co-religionists odds are he also feels like he has the right to decide for everybody else too.

Donald J Trump & various commenters #wingnut

They put those content warnings on everything because the archives’ holdings are so vast there aren’t enough interns in the world to adequately screen those materials. Hence its easier to just put a blanket warning for all digitized documents even if that means mundane things get flagged.

The problem here is the extent to which you have sacralized the founding charters. Rather than reading them, understanding them and interpreting them in light of both their original and current contexts as they were originally intended to be. Instead you act as if they only have one possible meaning and surprise surprise it always just happens to be the way you interpret it. It is no surprise that if you are a “originalist” you are also a A biblical literalist.

The earliest reference to “vox populi” comes from Alcuin off York who writes:

“Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.“

I don’t know if there are any Republicans who read this site, somehow I doubt it. But if there are than know that once you let this genie out of its bottle it would never go back in. The only way to purge it is to never vote for a Republican again. You don’t have to vote democrat but you cannot continue to vote for people who will not accept defeat in an election, regardless of what you think about things like tax policy.

Iran was no feminist paradise under the Shah and most of the revolutionaries who participated in his ouster weren’t looking for theocracy, your side just happened to be the best organized. One of the things that Pahlavi dynasty was famous for was liberation of women. There were women MPs, cabinet ministers, and diplomats. They had many more opportunities for advancement. Sounds like grandmothers and mothers have kept those stories alive to the daughters, granddaughters, and yes their sons who don’t need you to think for them.

While your broader point is right, I should point out that in North America DOs basically undergo the same training as MDs. I understand it’s different in many other parts of the world, however. Still, I agree with you that this was totally ideologically driven. I think the best approach for now needs to be on getting people out of red states and reducing the cost of living in blue ones so there are some parts of the country were people can realistically get to freedom.

If Sandy Hoax crisis actors can sue people for saying they’re lying, why can’t the Holohoaxers sue people for questioning mattresses made of human hair, roller coasters into the inferno, or subjecting people to eye color change?

I believe that in some European countries that is a viable reason to sue somebody.

Alex never even went in and accused individual crisis actors of hoaxing.

Because he would have needed to provide evidence of that. Good luck overcoming things like birth and death certificates, witnesses, family members, etc.

But even if he did – they are public figures![…]

First the law recognizes that not all “public figures” are the same but beyond that he was actually being malicious.

What harm has been done? Did they lose acting jobs because they were exposed as being bad actors, who start laughing when they’re supposed to be crying?[…]

Once again, no proof they were “crisis actors”. On top of losing their children, multiple people were forced to quit their jobs and move from their homes and at least one couple divorced due to the stress of the situation.

Donald J. Trump #wingnut

Since 1888, no incumbent President has gained votes and lost reelection. I received many millions more votes in 2020 than I did in 2016, unheard of in our political History.

There’s a first time for everything. I’m sure you can find firsts and lasts for each election going back every four years.

When you win Ohio, Florida, and Iowa, which I did in a landslide, no President has lost the General Election since 1960. We swept all four bellwether States (Iowa, Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina) that have correctly predicted Election winners since 1896.

You’ve just contradicted yourself. Also Romney won NC in 2012 little good it did him. HW Bush won it in 1992.

I won 18 of the 19 bellwether counties

Talk to Hillary Clinton who won 16 out of 35 bellwethers in 2016. Although it’s a bit more complicated when it comes to an election, any gambler will tell you that streaks begin and streaks come to an end.

my coattails secured the Victories of 27 out of 27 “toss up” House races, and the Democrats did not flip a single State Legislature.

Setting the gerrymandering aside for the moment, if they were trying to rig it why not also do that, why not expand the house majority, why wait until Georgia’s runoffs to claim the Senate?

Yet somehow Biden beat Obama with the Black population in select Swing State cities, but nowhere else.

Why that focus on the Black vote?

TL/DR: You’re drawing a conclusion based on very little. This is the equivalent of me suing my homeowners insurance company for failing to replace my house just because my smoke detector sounded. I have to provide evidence that my house burned down.

Finally, go ahead and testify before the committee and try this crap. You’ll be collared for contempt of congress so fast it wouldn’t be funny… and I’m sure that there are plenty of Capitol Police Department Officers more than ready to have some one-on-one time with you.

Candace Owens #wingnut

They repeat this so often that it’s a thought terminating cliche. That said, I’ll take the bait anyway.

I agree Candice, so does this mean that you support plans to expand health coverage to millions of working class Americans, especially Black Americans who have a much higher rate of negative pregnancy outcomes than their white counterparts. Expand access to affordable maternal care or even simply have one in their communities. This has been true when you equalize for things like income and education levels so maybe there’s a kind of racism in the healthcare system that needs addressing? Also, we know that environmental toxins have can cause serious birth defects, increased risk of fetal mortality and other negative pregnancy outcomes. Black people often to live in neighborhoods with increased exposures to various toxic chemicals including lead. I’m guessing you support increasing funding to the EPA and giving it and its state and local partners stronger powers to address that crisis too?

No? Really? I thought you said it was so dangerous to be in the womb? What gives?

Sadly, too many survivors from that country have been targeted by fascist groups here in the states and used to make misleading claims that AOC = Kim. Perhaps they need to do their own due diligence to realize they’re still being manipulated.

They are pages from the 9/11 commission report which were only partial declassified. From what we know about what’s in them, they allegedly link the Saudi government as financial backers for several of the attackers. That’s not to say that Saudi Arabia necessarily directed these people to do it, but, rather that there are and we’re sympathizers to AQ And one of the United States’ is closest partners in the Middle East, especially under the Bush 2 years.

Declan Hayes #transphobia #wingnut #conspiracy

Every word you say is a spit in the eye to Magnus Hirschfeld and his Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, one of the Nazis very first targets. The subject of a moral panic, they went into his institute, destroyed research proving the basic humanity of queer people and showing nothing was wrong with them. The Nazis fanned the exact same moral panic, using much of the exact same language that you and your ilk are using today in order to otherwise, harass, vilify them for no good reason. They then stormed his building, burned, his research, and publicly humiliated his study participants - many of whom would later be murdered by the regime as it tightened their grip on power.

The attacks on what was then called “homosexuals” and “transsexuals” and what we now call the LGBTQI community was an integral part of the Holocaust, not some side story that has been too often buried.
