OOTB's Political Thread . ..

[Heels Noir]

She sounds crazy because she had money troubles and emotional issues from being sexually assaulted? Geeze, not very sensitive of you. Did you go to the Hillary Clinton School of Public Relations?

No, she sounds crazy because of her multiple identities, duping her so-called friends, and refusal to pay her debts and expecting others to pay them for her. On top of that, what man in his right mind would make sexual advances on a sloppopotamus like her?

"A number of those in close contact with Reade over the past 12 years, a period in which she went by the names Tara Reade, Tara McCabe or Alexandra McCabe, laid out a familiar pattern: Reade ingratiated herself, explained she was down on her luck and needed help, and eventually took advantage of their goodwill to extract money, skip rent payments or walk out on other bills."

Politico bias rating 'lean left'


"Politico displays a Lean Left bias primarily through an overall tilt in coverage that focuses more on issues of importance to people on the political left, and sometimes describes issues in ways that match the left perspective."

where are the 'lives saved' and 'property defended' boards?

Tell me you did without telling me you did.

That's on the scoreboard unrelated to second amendment since you can save lives and defend property without guns.

 

[blazers]

The best defense is one so great it never has to be used.

damn right, is it legal yet to buy enriched uranium and diy nuke bomb kits?

Progress!

‘Raise the age’ gun bill passes out of committee after months of advocacy by Uvalde families

Two Republicans on the committee voted with all Democrats to pass the bill in a 8-5 vote.

I don’t think so. I’m on the waiting list and haven’t heard anything yet. I’ll let you know when I do.

Good luck with that.

Also, what’s your address?

That sounds like a lot like "She's not my type."

nice attempt to rationalize. Maybe you can save lives without guns, but you can also murder without them as well. Try again.

The difference is Joe Biden never said this to a reporter.

 

[prlyles]

good job catching that spelling error, your purpose in life has been served on this day. Woo hoo. Sorry you couldn't figure out the actual word though, I know you have some limitations with your vocabulary. I feel bad that it flummoxed you.

I didn't say that the number of nuts with guns is diminishing, I said the percentage of gun owners who are nut cases is vanishingly small. That means there aren't many of them.

And your first posit is just your usual idiocy, but I'll address it anyway. There was no endorsement of a knife or any other weapon, either intended or actual, and my wording doesn't imply any 'endorsement'. I simply referred to what the article said was used. The only problem is the usual one, your inability to understand the completely obvious.

It’s the guns you God damn fool, it’s the guns…..

 

[bluetoe]

It’s the guns you God damn fool, it’s the guns…..

what a thoughtful, well-considered and refreshing take on guns. It's the guns...you God damn fool...it's the guns.

It's the guns that just sit there hurting nothing and no one until someone fires them, you fvcking kumbaya singing simp. Human problems always involve humans. Duh.

 

[bluetoe]

damn right, is it legal yet to buy enriched uranium and diy nuke bomb kits?

we might have to get back to you on that since Hillary sold the rights to all of our uranium to the dastardly Russians, the Russians who are now threatening a nuclear holocaust, probably by using nukes with American uranium in them. With friends like Hillary, who needs enemas.

GOP is the party of fear. Their rhetoric is all about fear, hatred, anger, resentment, much of it cultural.

These people are spun-up and freaked out despite living in the best country at an amazing time, and their fingers are glued to their triggers.

How often have i posted something trans-related compared to you?

You're obsessed with that topic, just like RW media.

Left-wing doesn't bring it up unless it is to discuss Tx and Florida banning books or drag shows, the reason is because trans issues just aren't common. They're really rare so there isn't much to say about it aside for how MAGA is over-reacting about it instead of spending energy on more pressing matters.

They don't bring it up? They promote unqualified trans people to positions of power. They enact legislation that allows doctors to harm children. They require trainings to be sensitive to such mental disorders. They host children events with drag performers and then act offended when people are like, "WTF are you doing?"

Don't bring it up, my ass. Lol.

The U.S. Navy has a goddam drag queen as their face of recruitment and "digital ambassador".

Both parties thrive on fear. It's how they raise funds. Most of the emails or text say something like, "the (insert party here) are trying to take away your (insert something to scare them here). Donate now to stop them."

Go to foxnews.com then bbc.com

edit: or cnn.com. I chose fox since that seems the least extreme of the primarily conservative networks, and the one with the largest base.

 

[tarheel0910]

I like how selective you are with your websites. As if those are the only two websites that exist.

I don't understand the point. @tarheel0910 was saying that all parties are guilty of fear mongering and using it to drive their $$$ (which translates to power and success). Are you saying that fox is R on one side and that cnn and bbc are D on the other??? That would be a big admission for you to finally come into that realm of thought. How about just going to the rnc or the dnc sites?

Incidentally, I heard on the morning show of one of my local radio stations (the local nbc affiliate out of Balto, so not exactly gung ho conservative) that the immigration numbers had previously been 1400 per day, had gone to 2500 per day under Joe, and are expected to jump to 14,000 per day after Title 42 is gone on Thursday.

Should I be shocked that no one on here is talking about this being at least a minor problem?

Well, well. The Teflon "l just grab 'em by the pussy" Don can now grab his checkbook and
write out a check to E Jean Carroll for $5,000,000.00
It took the jury two whole hours to deliberate and decide he was liable for battery and sexual abuse.
What a shameful human being.

cnn is left leaning. BBC isn't, I initially chose BBC as something neutral to contrast with, but decided cnn was the better contrast.

The BBC definitely has a bias. I'm not saying their bias is the same as US media, but the British Broadcasting Company is absolutely profit-driven, there's always an agenda. Media has a huge stake in the outcome of... everything. It's calculated, all of it.

Justice has been served!

Legal experts were predicting two days of jury deliberation, not two hours. Trump totally incriminated himself during his deposition. What a complete dumbass!!

That's true, but as @pooponduke said that has nothing to do with the point I was making. The point was politicians use fear to raise money. No side has the copyright on that.

What do you wanna bet he never pays her a dollar? And still wins the Presidency in 24?

Ok, ok, that second part might be a stretch. We’ve already seen how the establishment won’t let him win. But we’re still hopeful.

If everything is running smoothly... they're not really all that necessary. And, it's important to remind, or if need be fabricate, just how bad things are so that they NEVER lose their... um... importance.

if he's guilty of actual sexual abuse, then I'm glad he was found guilty of that. But I doubt there was enough evidence to show beyond a reasonable doubt that he did anything. On the other hand, the defamation award IS wrong and disgusting and I doubt very much it will hold up to appeal. Trump has been defamed subjectively more than any other human being alive today, save maybe Putin, but he can't sue anyone because he is a politician and public figure. I don't mean he can't, I mean he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning. That's wrong and it should be changed.

YMMV, of course.

It's worth noting that according to BBC guidelines, "the broadcaster is committed to due impartiality."

Section 4: Impartiality - Introduction

Section 4.1

www.bbc.co.uk

Of course that might not mean very much to doubters, but also consider the constant complaining they endure from the left who insists they are biased to the right and vice versa.

It doesn't matter what you think. You weren't a member of the impartial jury.

Including the woman who is a Trump supporter who tactfully decided to leave her MAGA hat in her car during testimony (but still decided to rule against him)? True story. 🤣

BBC bias


-0.8 The division between center and lean left is -1, so the rating is far left center. But it's within the center range, so that's how they consider it, Asb it says below, last year it was a left lean.


After BBC was rated Lean Left in the Aug/Sept. 2022 Blind Bias Survey, AllSides conducted an Editorial Review. The panel determined that the bias of BBC's online news remains Center, with some slight Lean Left bias indicators.

If that's something like the Fairness Doctrine... that the USA used to have...then, that helps. But, it doesn't matter. This country has the lines drawn and trust was left behind a long, long time ago.
