Apparently, sexual masochism is one of the tell-tale signs of being a MAGAt.

My #2 is underscored by bell boi's #3.

The end.

#30 You claim that this site is now a "a left wing echo chamber"?

#31 Nope.

This site has always been left.

And as for "meaningful" discussions, you mean like this:

I get it now... you don't really understand English that well. That is why you keep repeated the same tired -------- over and over. Here let me get out my English/Lobotomese dictionary and translate for you: ARRRrrrrrrr.... UUURrrRGgggghhh... Ooorrrrrffff fRrreuuuuughhh

"MooManFL

Or this:

It's 4:34 in the morning and you're still arguing..."

"AmericanUnity, on the ravages of addiction

Or this:

You're just misdirecting the facts by not producing some statistics of your own...University of Missouri, St. Louis, indicates that there are 2-3% of men, and 2-4% of women who are gay...That is less than 1% of total American population.


"Tadowe, on people who are neither men nor women.

I believe that most people that are gay are just lazy about relationships. Having a relationship with a woman is hard work, both to get some lovin and then to maintain the relationship through time as men and women are just wired different. Most of my gay friends have had experiences with both men and women but have decided to go the gay route based on ease of relationships...Given that, I could see therapy 'working' in the sense that people fight the urge to be lazy to better conform to society.

"Real_Story, one

Or this:

Guy pulls a gun first--takes your gun. I would say any criminal that tries to hold someone up with a knife is a fool, but if he has a knife and you make a move, you could be sliced pretty bad and there's no guarantee you shoot him or don't have the gun used on you. No guarantee the bullet won't go through him and kill someone else. I'd rather have a car antennae than a gun in that situation. Even a rock or a club.

"Buffalo_bOoB

What you stupid ------ seem to miss, is that the idea of Make Drudge Great Again went the way of these people:

I need to start doing something else with my time......The daily toll of fighting off gay stalkers and carrying this blog for a ungrateful Rcade is starting to wear on me......So I think I am going to go ahead and retire while I am still relatively young...I am an gomaniac with a god complex......Do you really think I would end my own life.....? Not while I am intentionally sober....


"Rex Zitgrease, reflecting on his life situation.

The Political War Zone (partially archived) was born and promoted as a response to the supposedly fascist moderation policies on the Retort. In actuality, it was a cheap stunt for attention, driven by delusion, desperation, and -- most especially -- epic fail (lol).

This Blog was started by five guys (RZ, JA, DKIA, STP & H) who simply got tired of all the BS of the supposed wonderland of Open Expression on the 'Net. The Leftists claim they adore & stand for Free Speech & then use it to hammer anyone who doesn't agree with them right before they take it away. They'd rather tell you how immoral you are for standing up for what you think is true than to actually debate.

"Some failfags, on epic butthurt.

#36 Thanks for the compliment, Eb.

And thanks for your excellent post.

#41 Actually, it flew just fine in 2008.

What's changed is the fact that there were once multiple threads (on the front and back pages) with 100s of retorts, with some even breaking 1,000 comments.

While a person was composing a retort to a comment, by the time they hit the "Publish Comment" button, there might be several (or more) comments already there.

What people are missing is not the dearth of right or left posters here.

What's missing in the Retort today is a dearth of posters, of any stripe.

#50 I doubt bell boi has had an original thought in his life.

Meanwhile, you seem to overlook the points I made in my #42.

Right now, on the Front page and the Back page:

There are 26 threads on the Front page, there are 32 threads on the Back page.

Between both pages there are approximately 1,200 comments/retorts, or an average of 20 comments/reports per thread.

I haven't looked at the number of repeat posters (same poster posting on multiple threads), but I suspect that number is small, too.

There were times when a single thread would have 1,200+ comments/retorts.

Today, 20 comments/retorts is the average (which is somewhat skewed by the presence of just 2 Front page threads exceeding 100 comments/retorts each).

And do tell us, bell boi, exactly which "sites are banned as thread material" here on the Retort.

I know, for example, that the Space Nazi will not properly resolve articles posted there from Substack. But at least you can still post such things.

Which sites has our host banned here?

Or is this part of you people's continued persecution complex based on nothing?

#50 You state, "Post one thread that is critical of a Democrat and lefties on this site lose their minds."

Isn't that what you live for, bell boi?

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

Just a reminder in case anyone want to give jeff the benefit of the doubt

As to the question, I have no idea, I cannot get into the headspace of someone who would do something like that. Pathetic just doesn't begin to describe it.

And then you bemoan the dearth of posters here.

#59 Alas, not directed at you, or even the room, Eb.

That was specific to bell boi.

But, since you mention it, I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with our host blocking obvious misinformation on COVID or climate change.

He pays the light bill, he makes the rules.

If a guest here doesn't like it, well, there's always Twitter, Truth Social, Stormfront, etc.

Or, there's always this option:

At least three of the miserable ----- founders came crawling back after realizing that nobody cares about their internet psychodrama, thus laying waste to their grandstanding and -------- claims. So, what does the internets think of Rex, his butt buddies, and his ------ failed blog?

#60 Oh, look, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut comes to the defense of berll boi.

How sweet.

Perhaps the two of you should get a room and swap bodily fluids.

Would accomplish more than what you're attempting to accomplish here.

You're most welcome, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.

#70 "You sure you didn't say the same thing when GWB was in the WH?"

Indeed, Eb.

And there's a real lesson in there, somewhere.

Yep. A real lesson.

Let us don our thinking caps and contemplate the answer.

#77 & #80 As I understand it, Eb lives in a closed-primary state, where if his vote is to have any effect, it has to be in the primaries. If one does not register with a political party, then one cannot vote in the primaries for Republican or Democrat (except for nominally non-partisan elections and votes on issues).

At least that's my understanding.

#90 Separating the chaff from the wheat.

Thank you.
