OOTB's Political Thread . ..

So you didnt speak on it when your team did it, let's not pretend your values are any better. If you're trying to convince anyone you aren't for or against anything then I call "Bullshit. You're perfectly fine with it as long as your side gets away with it just like the other side gets away with it. Church-it-up to make the bitter pill taste better, if you want."
My value AREN'T any better, or worse, than anyone else's. You got me!
 
You failed to address @UNC '92 ’s point; the same point I’ve often made with you. It’s that you are quick to admonish the right/Trump and chastise that side’s supporters but it is rare when your takes do the same for the left.

We’d just like to see you be consistent. But I imagine I’m about to get a response from you that just muddies the waters where you lecture us on how nobody is “right or left all the time” and you still won’t acknowledge that you rarely, if ever, hold the left/Dems to the same standards you hold the right/Trump/GOP.
Ohhhh, I'm sorry. "We" would like that? That's good news!

I think I've been pretty critical of the "other side" on here, when it mattered. I've gone right at those who try to impose some kind of moral superiority on here... like when they head for the office and try to get people banned or the thread terminated.

Forgive me for interrupting the post-election revelry, and do-si-do.
 
whatever, Ricky Retardo.

To be exact, I think they are bs and shouldn't be done. I guess there are some very limited circumstances where they have to be made, but it seems like they could change/craft the rules to address it just for those circumstances.

However, it's the existing system and it's just silly to say one side can take full advantage of it and the other shouldn't be allowed to do so due to some notion of moral high ground. It's the system. I'm all for consistency and if something is wrong or acceptable, that's a two-way street for everyone. It's a bit like prosecuting someone for having secret documents under the claim that they shouldn't and they just happen to be your worst political enemy and a nightmare for you. You know, the same exact thing you've been doing, but worse since you did it in political position(s) where you absolutely had no right to do any of it? Can you imagine if they went after every congress person, senator, cabinet member, staff member, military member, or vp who still had documents that they weren't authorized to have? They'd probably have to build an entirely new courthouse and jail for all the cases. It doesn't make it right or acceptable, but it is the way it is and the rules don't just apply to one side depending on who is temporarily in power.
please just don't say goose/gander or we might have another minor eruption.

Not sure you have any "value".
Well... all of you like to follow me around. So, that's of some value to all of you! Hey, in your case, you get to personify "the squad", by using me! You're terrified of these women in the US Congress, based on the propaganda you consume, and... you need some kind of way to vent your frustration. So, you've projected them onto me, and a few others on here. Lots and lots of value, if you just pay attention.

lol yeah, we follow you around. It isn't like you interject or anything.

And isn't it you who's always questioning how we can somehow manage to speak the minds of others? The better question is how can you deign to do that while speaking the minds of others yourself. We know you're a world-class virtue-signaler. Wouldn't this make you a world-class hypocrite as well?

Deign? I don't deign to do anything. I have absolutely no problem with being a virtue signaler. Especially to somebody who gets his history from antebellum journals, and the memoirs of John C Calhoun.

Sorry for interjecting. Go back to jerking each other off. It must have been quiet here. I offered one small observation, and it was like a cow in the starving velociraptor cage. You need more diversity in the cast.

I think he resigned to keep the congressional report from coming out.
In the stuff that I've seen recently, they indicate that the committee lost their jurisdiction to further investigate the moment he resigned. Tradition has been in such situations that the report, drafts, etc. would not be released. However, there will undoubtedly be those Senators who demand access to everything regardless if a report has in fact been prepared.

ABC is now reporting through those always unnamed sources that a woman who is in her 20's testified to the committee that she was 17 when she had sex with Gaetz. That, of course, doesn't begin to address the other issues concerning how the woman had represented herself as an adult and that these allegations were all part of another guy's plea bargain who admitted to trafficking this and other women. Gaetz has always said unequivocally that this did not happen. Seems to me that if this had been so easy to prove, DOJ would have hammered him, yet they didn't even charge him.

you deign. You definitely deign.

You obviously have no problem virtue-signalling, but you might have a problem understanding that virtue-signalling is actually not a virtue. Another non-virtue is repeatedly assigning unfounded negative connotations to the assertions of those who, by not going along with your wacky preconceived notions, have stepped on your toes a little.

You don't have to apologize for something you haven't been criticized for. You claimed to be followed around and I corrected you by suggesting that in fact it was you interjecting. Just an observation. Nothing to get all cow-in-the-bug-cage about.

You're the epitome of someone who projects his feelings onto others. It's literally all you do here. And yes, you're the AOC of the board's Squad.
Trey Gowdy would be a great pick for AG.
Yessir!
