Yeah, indeed, so good to see it gone. Phew. Was worried for a second there. The thing I'd disagree with in the article is the phrase "he actually wants people to believe this". I don't think that's accurate. He doesn't want people to believe it, he just wants people to repeat it anyway. It only astonishes those that still think truth matters. It does not in a religious dispute, which this is. RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - Nately120 - 02-24-2021 Side note, if the people cheering on Trump and decked out in Trump attire and flags at the capitol weren't really Trump supporters, is it possible all the Trump supporters at his huge rallies that prove he couldn't have lost to Biden weren't Trump supporters either? Is it possible liberals have just trolled Trump into thinking he has a rabid fanbase? Is Trump 2020 the ultimate "Bronx Cheer" recipient?

And I didn't think I was known for arguing "both sides do it." Rather the opposite. So it appears you were not reacting to Johnson's revision of the Capitol siege, which my parody addressed (it was a parody, right?), but some other issues you believed you saw in the post.

Quote:So it appears you were not reacting to Johnson's revision of the Capitol siege, which my parody addressed (it was a parody, right?), No. You consistently ignore or excuse violence from those sharing your political bent and focus solely on the violence committed by those who do not. Just pointing it out for others to see.

Of course there are no examples or they would be quoted. Mind you other people will be directly accused of being "dishonest and will always try and make it seem like you said something you did not". It's why I choose not to engage. To the topic at hand there is no proof of what Johnson was rambling about. It's sad that we even have to have that part of the conversation. But there just can't be a discussion of an actual event without others trying to do a "what about" to make their side seem better. It's sad.

Yes, it is, just not in the way you think. BTW, can you stop with your gif sigs? You're the only person who uses them and it's obnoxious as hell. It's the equivalent of wearing shorts with a belt and a tucked in shirt while simultaneously wearing sandals with socks. All of which I can absolutely see you doing.

Certainly no "excusing violence" of any kind. Without evidence, unsupported accusations "point out" nothing. And repeating such accusations does not make them true.

Yes, somebody missed the point. --saw the word "ANTIFA" and free-associated an equation between right and left wing violence that had to be "called out." Back to the topic of Right wing Trump supporters revising what happened on Jan. 6: Last night Tucker Carlson flew the banner "Left disinformation campaign" across the screen, by which he meant MSM discussion/concern over the Qanon conspiracy which motivated may who stormed the Capitol. He claimed he and his staff could find not any QAnon person, nor any QAnon Website--hence QAnon did not exist! https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/02/24/tucker-carlsons-we-could-not-find-qanon-comment-was-worse-than-it-appears/ The clip that quickly traveled across social media was bizarre, as is often the case with clips that travel quickly across social media. Here was Tucker Carlson, the brightest star in Fox News’s prime-time opinion lineup, seemingly denying that QAnon exists. “So it’s worth finding out where the public is getting all this false information — this ‘disinformation,’ as we’ll call it,” Carlson says in the clip from his show on Tuesday night. “So we checked. We spent all day trying to locate the famous QAnon, which in the end we learned is not even a website. If it’s out there, we could not find it.”... Fox News maintains that Carlson wasn’t literally looking for QAnon but was, instead, saying that CNN and others in the media do more damage than QAnon — a far more toxic and ridiculous claim. Carlson was making a joke about how the “disinformation” that the mainstream media laments doesn’t have a centralized source, while the media’s own disinformation does. But the root of the joke was deeply ironic, given that it sat squarely in a sweeping effort by Carlson to offer disinformation about one of his favorite targets of scorn: concern about systemic racism in the United States. In broad strokes, Carlson’s argument was one that itself could have come from a fervent QAnon adherent. “Freelance thinking is what they hate most; it’s a threat to their monopoly,” he said of the media. “They can’t say that out loud, so instead they call it ‘disinformation.’ ” He asked viewers to imagine working as a mechanic when GM produced a car that can be easily repaired at home. .................................................................................... QAnon conspiracy is "freelance thinking," which concerns the MSM only because it breaks some "monopoly"?

Tucker was railing about this too--the FBI capturing Congressional communications without authorization! What kind of "investigation" of the Capitol insurrection are we going to get if Boebert and friends get a say in what gets investigated and how far?

RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - GMDino - 03-02-2021 Given my limited understand of these things I had heard that a lot of the "bigger" charges would come after they had people in custody, found them, etc. I think we will see more details about this and who was behind it as we go forward obviously.
RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - GMDino - 03-02-2021 Hearings going on today and some in the gqp are having a hard time with reality.

I was having an interesting thought at the end of this clip. Think back to four years ago, when those on the left side of the aisle were being mocked, and were being told we were trying to delegitimize the president even though that wasn't what any of us were saying. None of us disputed the outcomes of the election (that I am aware of) but yet we were told we were, were mocked for it, and told to "get over it." Now, we have a not-insignificant portion of the country that is doing that very thing, and they are the ones that were mocking the left four years ago! It's just baffling how much irony exists in this whole situation. RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - Belsnickel - 03-04-2021 Also, just saw this: https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-capitol-siege-politics-riots-c1b4973dce1b48c17c3dca7f5fb6e5fb?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP Apparently, security threats have caused the Capitol Police to request the continued presence of the ARNG. That is concerning. |
