  1. See even that was a farce because watergate was hardly Nixon’s greatest crime. He intensified COINTELPRO (there are people even on this board today that have no idea what that is), J Edgar Hoover was never questioned about it before Congress, they ended up retracting the Cambodia bombing from the impeachment articles, etc. Watergate was comparatively a minor crime but it was morphed into a major one in its presentation and for one reason: because instead attacking poor Cambodian peasants or Black Panther leaders (in some cases having them murdered in their sleep), which was apparently seen as good; with Watergate, he was attacking one half of the power system in Washington DC, and was evidently seen as bad.
  2. Fucking disgusting little creatures Oh but by all means let’s keep supporting them!
  3. And this actually ties back to a subject that was covered earlier: this idea that Charlie Kirk was all for open debate/discussion. Yeah, no. Sorry. I’m here to call absolute bullshit on that one. The entire premise of his debate format was exactly in the title: “prove me wrong.” That in itself is logically fallacious. That’s shifting the burden of proof. When I first saw him doing that shit, my first reaction was exactly what it is today: “no, motherfucker. That’s not how it works. You have to prove that you’re right and then you get to ask if we can disprove you.” ”Prove me wrong” wasn’t just some label that he used either. Just watch that video and many others like it and you’ll notice the same problem: Charlie Kirk never met that challenge. All he ever did was bloviate his stupid and ignorant opinions to college kids. There’s no need to “prove him wrong,” there. He failed to live up to the burden of proof to demonstrate his positions as factual/accurate/true. Every. Single. Time. For example, when he says “prowling blacks go around for fun targeting white people. That’s a fact!” How was it a fact? Had he presented credible evidence to establish such a fact? Or was he just blowing more of his horseshit out there and packaging it as “fact,” as so many right wingers just love to do? Well it’s hard to assume the former because I actually did watch a few formats of this “engage the college kids” nonsense and he never did that. It was just drive-by internet troll horseshit. In doing these ridiculous presentations and editing out the few actual strong rebuttals he would encounter along the way, through the miracle of social media, he was able to convince millions of rubes that he was smart. He was able to convince people that he had powerful points. He was able to convince people that because college kids couldn’t prove a negative, his general political persuasion was the right one. It was intellectual fakery to the absolute max. So no, I will not concede the point that this piece of shit was a champion of open discourse. He infected open discourse with the intellectual equivalent of AIDS, cancer and Alzheimer’s all rolled into one.
  4. Either that or they had to do their best impression of Steven from Django Unchained. You can’t tell me that David Clarke met any sort of meaningful requirements other than “appeal to racists, morons and conspiracy nuts.”
  5. Yeah they kinda weren’t the only ones that left, and it’s not accurate to say “well the others left because of them.” No it was because the PAC12 had a shitty media rights structure and it just so happened that UCLA and USC left first. But the Arizona schools, Oregon, Washington, etc were going to leave as well and for the same reason the LA-based schools did
  6. Hell, anyone left of Attila the fucking Hun
  7. Oh that’s a phrase that’s used by so-called conservative Christians. It’s the new “homosexual agenda.”
  8. Take the word “internet” out and it still applies
  9. Fred and Malcolm weren’t internet trolls
  10. They really don’t, least of all Jesse fucking Waters or anyone he’d have on his chickenshit little program
  11. The troll is tired. See him to his chambers.
  12. It’s actually worse than you think. Charlie Kirk was not a political commentator. To be a political commentator would require at least some minimal knowledge about public policy and he had none. What we’re talking about here is putting flags at half mast for an Internet troll.
  13. Oh he has no idea whats happening right now with all our resident MAGA folk is exactly what I predicted the second I saw how bad that shot really was. I predicted that they would get hysterically angry, that they would scream bloody murder about people who had nothing to do with this and are not cheerleading this, and that they will accuse us of everything this side of the Lindbergh kidnapping. This is just what they do. In their own tiny minds, they are victims 24 hours a day.
  14. Just stop. Stop acting like you’re tough while you’re a coward. Stop acting like you’re strong while you’re weak. And most of all, stop acting like you’re smart when you’re clearly fucking stupid, not to mention a goddamned liar. As I said when this thread began, this assassination doesn’t help any of us. The vast majority of those on the left (real or imagined) clearly understand that as demonstrated by the tweets that have been posted here, among other things. As to this idea of civil war, just fucking stop it. Even if there was a blue vs red state civil war, the red states would get absolutely crushed
  15. I was actually thinking about that exact video when I read that comment
  16. Yeah that had to have been an almost instantaneous kill shot. Blood loss was overwhelming
  17. Trump’s fate will be paved by factors that have nothing to do with this. Either SCOTUS will say he can run for a third term, at which case his re-re-elect will be entirely their fault, or they won’t and he’s out of office anyways. Even if the D’s do take back Congress in ‘26, they won’t have a senate majority large enough to secure a removal via impeachment proceedings and prosecution post-presidency has already proven to be tedious and cumbersome.
  18. Was thinking the same thing. The right wing is going to be absolutely fanatic, fervid and relentless in its pursuit of every single possible way to blame the people they already hate anyways, and of course they’ll use this worthless sack of horseshit as a fucking martyr next November. Whether he survives this or not, no one has been helped by this at all, least of all the fucking moron who decided it’s be a good idea to attend this fruit bat event and fire a fucking shot
  19. Last I checked
  20. I do not disagree with this. War department is far more accurate. I mean I don’t like the connection it makes to MAGA because we used to have an actual War Department and this really is just a harkening back to those times…but again, it’s also more honest. Trump does a lot of shit things, and this is a shit thing in the big picture, but among all his shit things, this thing is the least shit.
  21. Oh great here come the sissy apologists with their effeminate excuses: ”Only Hamas militants are starving, they’re lying about it, Hamas caused the famine, they’re lying about it, Hamas prevented aid from coming in, but the IDF had to prevent it because they were trying to smuggle in weapons, but we were only targeting Hamas with the famine but they used civilians as human shields.” They’re about to sing all their greatest hits and once again will demand us to love them and will accuse us of being antisemitic if we hate this situation and the US/Israeli policy.
