BTW I see you glossed right over my choice of justice over "justice."

Is that because you don't actually understand it?

Why?

Couldn't stand to see your own reflection?

Hey dumbf*&^, I literally answered "why."

your methods of direct action"

Holy f*&^ you're stupid.

I don't find you laughable and pathetic because I want to avoid direct action. I find you laughable and pathetic because the "direct action" you partake in a) never works b) usually costs Dems at large electorally and c) eventually devolves into peripheral, irrelevant purity pony bulls*&^.

You're just never ready to fight for it

No, I just find people like you to be a millstone around the neck of the slim chance to achieve anything close to that.

I dislike you because you claim to be an "ally" but you're just a multi-faceted impediment. A Swiss Army knife of constant self-sabotage, perpetual blunders and endless seemingly intentionally stomping on your own d*&^.

People like you LOSE every single damn time you're elected out of disgust for the other side. Then, in record time, you disgust those same voters so much so quickly they vote for the MAGA s*&^bags again.

For good measure, you ensured the election of Trump by taking your ball and going home on election night because you thought you could be supremely smug about it afterwards; about how if only people were as moral as you they could have had your support.

Sad fact is. Instead of supporting progressives, you fled to a progressive nation where others have already fixed it and you don't have to do anything.

No, dubmf*&^, I went somewhere that aligned with my ideals better.

It's not "progressiveism" in the manner your pathetic a&& thinks it is. It's my kind of progressiveism via pragmatism.

Drugs are legal so that people don't die so often and the product isn't unregulated.
Prostitution is legal so that the workers can do it clearly and safely.
Things are more heavily regulated because it turns out cleaner food, air and water are good things.
More PTO and holidays means people aren't burned out and miserable, leading to better performance and overall societal health.
Medical care isn't prohibitively expense.
Safety nets exist because it turns out people don't commit crimes as often if they don't have to.
ect ect ect

Where I live now isn't some pie in they sky pink hair Utopia. It's just a better run version of the US.

You mean his body was finally booted from the morgue?

He still hasn't been seen publicly as far as I've seen/read.

He funded science even after Obama issued temporary funding moratorium on new federal grants for gain-of-function research involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses due to safety concerns.

He? The director of NIAID personally approved grants that nobody else saw?!?!

Or is this just another area of knowledge that you're spewing garbage about but don't know a damn thing in regards to real knowledge?

You're such a pathetic pile of s*&^.

I like you finally giving in to your true feelings and going on a massive, gay tryst bender to get it all out of your system, then either shutting the f*&^ up about it or disappearing entirely to embrace your true self.

Either way, you're not funny, original or interesting. So kindly f*&^ off.

who is more devoted to "order" than to justice;

I stopped reading here. If there's a line you think is worthwhile after that, C&P it because otherwise I don't care.

The biggest problem with current "progressives" is they always think it's about "justice," even when it's the smallest most stupid pile of s*&^ nonsense they've hung themselves up on (birthing people vs people who produce eggs vs blah blah blah).

When I lived in Texas, my most conservative friend (name is Gary, great guy) once told me (probably slightly mocking but mostly just matter of fact) that I have a "keen sense of justice." It's that "keen sense of justice" that makes me recoil from most "progressives." Why? Because they've misused and abused the word to the point of disgusting absurdity.

You're quoting a man who was fighting against second class status that ran so deep they could be hung for a non-existent crime from the tree in the town square and there would be photographs of a sea of white faces looking on with indifference if not amusement.

Meanwhile, expulsion worthy offenses these days is something as simple as using a wrong word because you don't realize the person you're speaking to has adopted some made up word as their pronoun or, since someone may have a life, hobbies and real s*&^ to think about, they inadvertently "exclude" someone who has made some extremely minute thing the basis of their personality and it was missed.

No, I don't choose "order" over "justice." I choose justice over "justice."

It all comes back to Trump saving them from the liberals.

Probably. Because their thought (use the word lightly) processes aren't tethered to reality.

I'm sure we'll get lucky and they'll throw in some conspiracy theories about the WHO as well to smooth over the gaps in their "knowledge."

Oh, and BTW moron, I already left.

But since you've apparently never left what ever red state s*&^hole you reside in, you're unaware that Europe has the internet and it actually functions at the speed you pay for (less than half the price without the currency conversion BTW) both WiFi and mobile.

So while it may be shocking to you, I'm currently sitting on my back patio looking at stars, enjoying exceptionally comfortable if not slightly cool temperatures while drinking a Cote de Rhone that would probably cost 3-4 times as much in the states just to suffer the reminder that somewhere always there is some worthless skidmark wandering around sucking up resources and channeling their miserable existence into misery for everyone else around them instead of simply walking off into the nearest wild place and letting their betters live their lives while you piss off and disappear.

You just don't want to play nice with people Inclined to Actually Vote Democratic.

I don't want to positively reinforce the petulant child wing of the Dem base who are too self absorbed and self-righteous to see that their actions (ie taking their ball and going home) not only work against their own stated goals but actually hurt their objectives more than if they'd simply stopped being puling piles of petulant dips*&^s.

You're so wrapped up in your bubble of self-enamored amazement at your own morality and superior character that you spit these nonsensical "insults" that are nothing more than an admission of your own unthinking, uncritical conformity.

but they would really rather lose to another Republican than allow a Progressive or Democratic Socialist a shot at the Presidentcy.

And without any further prompting, you prove every single word above true.

You just can't help yourself.

I thought you found CO2 so benign you were going to tie a bag around your head and go to bed?

Oh, and when this is all said and done, I hope Rand Paul suffers every manner of consequences for this garbage.

I'm tired of that fake piece of s*&^ leeching off the US populace while doing absolutely nothing of worth or note.

F*&^ him and his hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.

Sorry, not sorry, St. Fauci is no saint.

Herein lies your problem. You, consciously or not, view Trump in a very cultish manner.

So, you assume others must view his perceived adversary in a similarly cultish manner.

But we don't. In fact, the main argument in favor of Fauci is very much that he was a human making human decisions on what information he had available and some was mistaken and corrected as more information came out.

The one thing you stupid s*&^bags always neglect to account for is how countries around the world enacted similar policies and control measures. Was Fauci so all powerful he was also forcing nearly the entire world to follow his whims?

No, of course not. He was proscribing standard public health mitigation measures.

In his diary he mentions a meeting in which 10 out of 12 scientists believe that not only was it a lab leak but that the virus appeared to have been artificially manipulated. What did he say publicly at that time?

Link to it.

Because I have a feeling you're full of s*&^ and are just regurgitating a bad interpretation that's been fed to you.

We about to find out what that pre-emptive pardon is really worth.

#27 | Posted by lfthndthrds

No, you're about to find out how unAmerican and anti-constitution you and the people you vote for are.

Because that's all this is.

And, pathetically, it's all in absolute support and adoration of an actual criminal that you swallowed endless excuses and BS rationales for ignoring their criminal conduct.

Call me when they issue a special extention to the statute of limitations or file charges based on the memo field of a personal check.

Call me when you realize the extension wasn't unique or that said memo constitutes physical evidence.

Serious question: other than being a stupid pile of s*&^, what exactly is broken in your brain that you're so deadset on clinging to a complete pile of semi-solid dog s*&^n like Donald Trump? I mean, God damn the whole ------- Reagan's corpse thing was creepy and stupid, but you can go back to that if it means abandoning the current piece of s*&^ you think exemplifies a decent human being (and, therefore, showing what an indecent, absolutely s*&^bag human being you are...).
