  1. It's wild to see them just using the same tactics as they ever did: filter their talking points through an overly credulous news organization and then present it to the public as fact. This was the EXACT mechanism and tactic used to gin up the concern that "many people are saying" about the election in 2020
  2. Definitely don't keep the app(s) on your phone, they're surveillance capitalism tools. Their whole business model is selling access to their user profile of individuals so that advertisers can further microtarget their ads
  3. wow I forgot he was trying to start beef with Miss Rachel - what an absolute culture warrior.
  4. They (Steven Miller) already told us: they don't give a shit about facts, they're using this murder as their cudgel to do their fascism
  5. He literally bussed several hundred people to the Capital on January 6th that went on to assault and injure police officers and interrupt the peaceful transition of power?
  6. He just kept doing what he was doing. And nobody stopped him. You're describing consequences, not cancellation. And it wasn't the office of President advocating for specific, targeted actions
  7. "Being fired for their beliefs" is a weasel word way to conflate then and now. Biden firing people for saying "COVID isn't real" is not in the same solar system as "Kirk supported what happened to Kirk". There are beliefs that are actually WRONG and dangerous to hold in a leadership position. If you dEePlY bElIeVe that injecting yourself with bleach is a cure for COVID, should you be allowed to hold a public health related office? I think "cancelling" is bullshit in general and used as a false grievance by shithead culture warriors. Shane Gillis was cancelled? Suuuuuure lol
  8. I don't agree with your framing at all. For one, it's republican administrations in both cases not #bOtHsIdEs. For two, there were not members of the Bush administration going around giving statements and speaking from the White House about how they are going to use this to crush their political opposition with force. You're comparing apples to assholes
  9. It cannot be overstated how Miller is the modern Goebbels. They both just have opinions and want to share them with the world! And punish you if you don't tow the Party line
  10. Gotta say, it's chilling to see the fascist thought police and state sponsored cancel culture in action. People are being tattled on to employers for perfectly legal statements, and the employers are going along with it and punishing anyone who thinks contrary to the Party line. It's downright Orwellian and the height of irony to be coming from the Party that claims to love free speech and hate cancel culture
  11. Hey wait a minute, whatabout freeze peach and CANCEL CULTURE (!!!) ?
  12. It's highlighting a historical parallel? And please, elucidate for me your point because you're building up to something but won't say it
  13. What's my obvious political purpose, then? The IDF is literally doing a lebensraum to Palestine
  14. Calling back to Vince, he turned that corner when GDGD and butterteeth finally let him just ball and they stopped trying to cram him into a box. Sark has not given any indication of making such a change or even thinking that what he's doing is wrong. He's doing his Herman impression of doubling down on a failing idea
  15. Someone turning themselves in doesn't count as law enforcement "catching" them, IMO. If his dad hadn't owned up to his parenting failure, the kid would be on the lam still. A podcaster and a 23 year old gardener aren't exactly the A-team. It's impossible to KNOW if something would have ABSOLUTELY had a specific effect. However we can infer that an action makes a situation be a greater or lesser threat. Those actions to fire the SAC and everyone else who failed the Presidential Purity Test absolutely did NOT reduce risk, or make things more difficult for someone seeking to do harm. I would argue that in fact made things easier for "bad guys" to do bad things. Plus, ya know, the President explicitly saying that he's alright with the "right violence" really gives a blank check and a rhetorical nod to anyone else thinking of doing something evil and violent. With a couple of slapdicks in charge of law enforcement and counterterrorism
  16. The south end zone frat dudebros were the guys getting the boo birds out first but good lord the whole south end of the stadium was happy to join in. Not great, Bob. I have more concerns than I did last week
  17. Well for starters you probably don't empty out the local FBI office full of counterterrorism and counterintelligence experts that do exactly that type of work you're gesturing at. And, not having the President of the United States egging them on would be helpful too
  18. Have you figured out what is and isn't AI yet? Or find any more disinformation to bring to the thread? You're pitching a perfect game so far in terms of hits
  19. This is working for my folks https://thetvapp.to/event/utep-miners-texas-longhorns-9f28051e129f9d7c9b1592843975f35e/
  20. Lol it just takes 5 tries to score from the 1yd line
  21. Our defense is so fucking good, it breaks my heart that Arch can't fucking complete a fucking wide open pass
  22. Arch is trying too fucking hard
  23. Cool P40 flyover
  24. I don't understand, are you arguing he is frequently counter-factual like TPUSA? Or that his plain reading of the article y'all have desperately posted a dozen times turns out to be bullshit?
