You almost never debate. You make proclamations with zero factual or evidentiary backing, proclaim yourself the winner and pat yourself on the back.

AGAIN - So the government has no obligation to protect the country against foreign attacks other than warning people about them?

Immigration, identity politics, parental rights, along with crazy Joe, Cackles and anti-American policies such as attacking Constitional rights and more, is what put Trump in office.

Dems put Trump in office.

#282 | Posted by BillJohnson

No fascist propaganda about those topics put trump in office. Hammered into your soft brain by the same billionaires who are now leaching off the king of corruption.

After 20 years of posting on this site thinking I was protected by the first amendment, republicans have dragged the country so far from its principles that I now realistically have to be worried about retaliation for years of speaking the truth about trump. Not that my words have any affect on the world, but that fascist AI will be sent to dig through everything anyone has ever said, any mistake on a tax return or loan application, any stolen netflix subscriptions, and use that to prosecute their enemies. In the larger purpose of scaring everyone into submission because they know they could be next. Now we're russia. Now we are a place where you can't criticize the ruler without fear of retribution.

How does that feel trumpers, knowing you have brought america to this place? This is literal fascism in action. You're sick of hearing the word fascism? That's your fault for being fascists. When it's raining I'm going to call it rain, not "water from the sky."

[dems did it first!]

No they didn't. Dems prosecuted idiots and fascists who stormed the capitol.

Dems asked social media companies to stop spreading russian propaganda - defending the nation from foreign attack. That enraged republicans because russian propaganda helps them so much.

Look at what you've become.

Now a dictator, the tech billionaires, the media billionaires, the bank billionaires, and the oil billionares have all teamed up, and you're ------- rooting for it.

And then you whine that we shouldn't call you stupid.

Speak,

"You're the one choosing to ignore everything jesus ever said."

Obviously it went over your head.

I am not responsible for the behavior of anyone but me.

Yea...there are some pretty strict Christians who claim I should only vote for someone who professes to be a Christian.

So you're dishing out that same sanctimonious nonsense.

I can vote for whomever I want.

#265 | Posted by BillJohnson

Exactly. And YOU CHOOSE to ignore jesus' teachings and elect a leader who is the opposite of everything jesus ever taught.

YOU are responsible for that choice and you will have to explain that choice when you try to plead your way into heaven. I doubt st peter is going to play your semantic games.

Speak,

"If you believe christ is real why do you ignore all his teachings and support a leader who does the exact opposite?"

Why do you think I should get the blame for what someone else does?

I'm responsible for my actions, not his, and not yours. Just mine.

There's no blaming someone else for my faults, like some people like to do.

You're confusing secular politics and Christian faith.

#260 | Posted by BillJohnson

I didn't say the word blame or discuss the topic of blame.

I asked why YOU empower a man to lead us who is the exact opposite of everything christ taught?

The only blame I'm placing is on you. You're the one choosing to ignore everything jesus ever said.

You need to ask Gal about this, she seemed to feel Charlie Kirk getting assassinated was "karma".

#258 | Posted by oneironaut

Well in that case it would apply. Since he was the one saying shootings are worth it, and that children should witness public executions.

Now what did Kimmel say or do that would make his firing "karma?"

"Your party thrives on ignorance and an intense dislike of people like me"

It's their ignorance that makes them hate people who speak the truth.

They call it Karma....-----

#255 | Posted by Javelin

Karma would imply he did something to deserve it. Can you name what that is or do you just bark at whoever your master commands?

And honestly...who on the right do you expect to like someone like speaksoftly when you see how he refers to them?

#49 | Posted by eberly

I refer to them correctly, as fascists. You're the one who says they're too stupid to know what that means.

True, and one of the reasons is because they don't know they're embracing fascism. Rather, they think they are owning libs.

That's how much you're hated, suck. Just to rub ---- in your case, people are willing to support fascist moves without even realizing they are doing it.

#47 | Posted by eberly

That's the reason republicans hate education. You can't get people to support your fascist uprising if they've learned about what fascist uprisings look like and where they lead.

Your party thrives on ignorance.

Men need to get over themselves.

#3 | Posted by RightisTrite

That attitude is the reason trump is president. Keep it going if you want to never regain power.

I've said this before and now repeating myself.

If you are going to accept and believe that the antichrist is real, then you must believe Christ is real.

#248 | Posted by BillJohnson

If you believe christ is real why do you ignore all his teachings and support a leader who does the exact opposite?

I am not religious, but I would be you can't pick and choose your rules and morals, like a taco Bell menu

#242 | Posted by oneironaut

Your entire party ignores every thing jesus ever said, under the justification that abortion is the most important thing to them, even though jesus never mentioned it.

Now its bad that young people are listening to Charlie Kirk and liking what they hear and from a professing Christian.

#236 | Posted by BillJohnson

It's bad that those young people never learned what fascism is so that they would know where it leads.

Trump getting elected after bragging about sexual assault made people feel they had to do something against sexual assault.

So they wore pink ----- hats and came up with the MEETOO movement.

But that movement overreached and became - men are evil and should be considered guilty until proven innocent, and they should step aside and let women lead.

If you're a 18 year old male voting for the first time, who are you going to vote for - the side that tells your time has passed and you're a rapist unless you can prove otherwise? Or the side that ISNT saying that?

I said at the time that meetoo was going to drive dumb young men to vote republican. I hate being right all the time.

"That's why we use the word NAZI,"

nobody cares anymore.

that term has been so overused it's invisible.

#45 | Posted by eberly

So you admit that magats are too dumb to understand accurate word FASCISM, then whine that using the metaphorical language they WILL understand has been overused.

What has been overused is the republican embrace of fascism, not the left calling it what it is.

"Terror networks" have to be established. With this shooter it looks like others were aware the attempt was going to be made. Accessories? I don't know. But it need# to be looked into. During Biden, Catholics, school parents and people praying by abortion clinics were deemed terrorists.

#39 | Posted by BellRinger

In a fascist dicatorship, terror networks are whoever the dictator says they are.

Provide proof of your second claim.

-Hey ----, NO ONE is saying there isn't violence by people with left wing ideologies.

Jimmy just tried to.

FAFO

#35 | Posted by eberly

Quote him saying that.

Most folks don't have a clue what fascism means anyway.

#31 | Posted by eberly

That's why we use the word NAZI, then you whine about that too.

Fascism is the most accurate term, but we gotta dumb it down for the morons in your party.

Encourage the likes of community notes and trust its citizens to call out obvious BS.

#22 | Posted by BellRinger

So the government has no obligation to protect the country against foreign attacks other than warning people about them?

You've been given tons of evidence. Twitter files. Zuckerberg's own admission. For starters. More has come out since. I can lead you to water but can't make you drink.

Between you and I this discussion long ago became circular.

#19 | Posted by BellRinger

Then I'll tag in.

If the government finds that online platforms are being used by america's enemies to harm america, what is the government's duty in that situation?

Biden set a bad president.

It's too bad ----------- didn't tell them to pound sand. What he did then and what he's doing now is ----, but I digress.

There are better solutions for dealing with -------- who present demonstrateable -------- as legitimate news.

But, like a lot of things these days, this is unhinged.

#16 | Posted by horstngraben

Biden should have kicked fox news out of the white house when they pled in court that they're just entertainment not news.

As for him asking facebook and twitter to censor russian propaganda, what is the problem with that. He actually did far too little to combat russia's espionage attacks.

I cannot believe how dumb you are sometimes. Charlie Kirk was assassinated on the heels of two attempts against Trump, Jews fire bombed during a small protest, 2 Israeli staffers gunned down 5o shouts of "Free Palestine!" Brian Thompson, The GOP softball game attempted massacre ... .all of this during a nonstop drumbeat from numerous elected Democrats including those at the highest levels characterizing conservatives and Republicans as Nazi's, Hitler, fascists, evil, killers of Democracy, etc ... .

And yet, here we are, with zero self awareness, we have a thread of lefties whining that they are being characterized as terrorists. This coming on the heels of, again, prominent members in the media and somewhat influential commentators claiming he got what he deserved. Some Democrats couldn't just condemn the violence, it always came with a "but" and then blaming Trump for bad rhetoric.

#26 | Posted by BellRinger

Democrats CORRECTLY describing the republican turn to fascism as FASCISM is not an incitement to violence. It is a recognition of reality. When your party loses and election and decides to try and topple democracy, it is YOUR fault that people say your party hates democracy.

You're like OJ Simpson whining that people yelled "murderer!" at him.

If you can't admit that trump amped up the hateful rhetoric in this country more than any other modern politician then you are either a moron or a liar.

Gays today just don't get it that 20 years ago things was very different for gay people.

#168 | Posted by BillJohnson

Wow and after all that you support the party that will make life so much harder for gays instead of the one that fights to give them equality.

You are truly ------ in the head.

I oppose ALL efforts by our government to engage in censorship regardless of which party is making the effort.

#11 | Posted by BellRinger

Yeah you oppose them so hard by voting for the con man traitor who TOLD YOU AHEAD OF TIME he'd attack the free press.
