  1. I can't see any other way to interpret this post other than you are saying everything McConnell does is right. But you claim to be a centreist. WTF, bro?
  2. I missed the bit where FDR claimed to be the fittest, healthiest president ever. I also didn't miss the bit where YOU started this conversation by judging Biden's health. Kinda takes the wind out of your not being a partisan hypocrite sails, doesn't it?
  3. Lol, right. You believe what Fox tells you might have happened in an alternate reality, I'll believe what really happened in this one.
  4. But no. He was suffocated by a policeman. There is no dodge you can use to make that not true.
  5. Do you think every one on the end of heavy handed police tactics was stood next to a brick thrower? Are you really that naive?
  6. The hardcore Trumpeteers were already trying this way back in Feb/March. Nevermind that it requires believing that people would panic if they’re told COVID is dangerous and a lockdown is necessary or people will die, but they won’t panic if they’re told COVID is dangerous and a lockdown is necessary while thousands of people are already dying. Nevermind they’d also need to explain why the American people are such a bunch of cowardly snowflakes that they’d erupt into mass panic in a way that the citizens of no other western or developed country did when their leadership reacted strongly and early to the pandemic.
  7. What? So not only are you blaming him for being assassinated you’re blaming him for destroying civil rights leadership because he was assassinated? And Jessie Jackson? His major years of activist leadership came in the decades after King was murdered. Why would he suddenly have decided to be scared? “What should he have done differently is what most leaders are doing today....a better job of protection.“ How? He’s not a politician. He didn’t get The secret service To sort him out, and it’s not like the governors or police were interested in helping.
  8. What kind of bullshit victim blaming is that? He was a famous black man murdered by a racist mad man. What should he have done differently?
  9. But you have only bashed Joe and Kamala, while you've said good things about both Trump and Pence. You said that people who only said bad things about Trump were negative people. Are you a negative person too, or can you tell us the good things you expect from a Biden/Harris administation?
  10. Because you came into this thread simply to criticize Biden I guess you must be a negative folk also.
  11. There was a cop in the UK who was just suspended because not only was he caught on camera putting a suspect in a prolonged chokehold, he was repeatedly shouting loud enough for everyone in the street to hear, "stop struggling or you're going to sleep". Since I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to think that was a good idea in the current climate I can only assume he felt he would be immune from any consequences and could do whatever the fuck he wanted. That's what they need to learn, that they will be held accountable. First that has to happen.
  12. Then why did you say they didn't exist? Why lie? What made those the most significant ones? What made those few lines from a few people in Seattle the main demands of the entire national protest movement, overriding all others? What made them the most significant demands of the Kenosha protests, which are a response to events that occerued long after the CHAZ ceased to exist?
  13. Because innocent people will inevitably end up dead. Why don't you care about their lives? You chose the path of shooting innocent people. Why?
  14. So why did you say it? Seriously, when you have to call your own argument ridiculous it's time to give up. I've never seen anyone dig a hole this deep outside of a Murakami novel.
  15. What demands for segregation? Are you still talking about that one single guy with his miniature vegetable plots in Seattle?
  16. Because no one disagrees. There is literally no discussion to be had. You are the only person here who is partisan enough to suggest the other side loves arson just to make an inane right vs left point.
  17. Bollocks. You have defended Rittenhouse. You have applauded him for being there carrying a weapon. That you don't agree with him being underage with a gun is frankly a technicality. If his 18th birthday happened to have rolled around a little earlier there isn't a single thing he's done that you've disagreed with, up to and including shooting multiple people with no evidence that they had been doing anything wrong. No, because they'll end up shooting more innocent people and contribute to the breakdown of law and order throughout society.
  18. Consider that there is still a living survivor of the Tulsa race massacre, still suing the city for their active complicity in murdering scores of people and destroying an entire black neighbourhood (a fact which no sane person disputes), who has never yet seen a cent in damages. I don't even understand how that's possible, let alone understand how anyone could think it's right.
  19. Everything after the BUT is an invention that exists only in the minds of you, Turtlespeed and Tucker Carlson. No-one else here has said anything of the sort - your entire accusation is unfair, not just your tone. Does it though? The widespread protests this summer are bringing a level of commitment to institutional change from companies, organisations and governments both local and national that I have never seen in my lifetime. The accompanying riots don't seem to be deligitimizing anything, probably because most people aside from you and the T's can easily distinguish the legitimate protesters from the opportunist rioters.
  20. And kill people who are neither, because 'Merca!
  21. Of course not. But so what? By the way, notice that you've asked this question several times and it keeps getting answered the same way. Notice also that you've been asked a lot of questions over the last page or so and you've ignored almost all of them - fairly obviously because you have no answers. At what point do you realise you're defending the indefensible?
