Do people really not grasp the importance of an established conflict of interest as it regards the specter of bias? Bias can manifest itself in myriad ways, one simply being the setting of priorities…
Yep: it’s good that I said nothing of the sort.
You insulted NYT/WP: I think I rightfully pointed out that there’s no substantive basis for that.
I don’t know about that last bit nor the first bit. You get weird results with weird input: GIGO. That’s not the fault of the person. However, when one party insists that anything “bad” is fake news and that you should only pay attention to them and nobody else… that leads to pretty fucked up realities.
I don’t recall suggesting that the average Republican voter is evil. I don’t recall saying that they’re stupid. I do think they’re living in an alternate factual reality, but there’s a clear system built up to enable that and that’s not their fault.
Refusing to think critically IS their fault, though, preppy.
Either that, or else they are incapable of it.
…which is their fault, too.
Pick a connotation.

straight from ya mans mouth.
here’s the story behind his bytch made tweets.
lol…his performances in helsinki, singapore and brussels says otherwise about his deal making skills. anyway, national unity isn’t why he signed it.
trump himself has made no secret of wanting to normalize relations with russia since he came into office and part of that process is eventually lifting sanctions. trump had have his hoe card pulled by congress because he can’t be trusted when it comes to putin. yet, you want to run up in here and claim he’s not putin’s bitch. lol…that’s funny.
i don’t blame you. if i ever had to defend trump. i wouldn’t want to talk specifics either given his history of flip flops and blowing up people foolish enough to attempt it.
it’s the come up of the century. 16 GOP presidential candidates (14 with political experience) to choose from and they get finessed by this transparent clown. lol.
strange? that’s an understatement. normally, when heads of states meet. there are no surprises because outcomes are predetermined long beforehand, but not with the trump administration. it turns into a shit show real quick. diplomatic protocols aren’t being followed. one hand does not know what the other is doing. trump says one thing. his administration says something else entirely. the result is garbled mixed messages and surprise “agreements”.
yeah, but i have no problem with it because it makes the thread entertaining. i mean, you have posters running up in here with their hot takes and attempting to argue a position in which they are either misinformed or uninformed. this is funny, but this isn’t the best part. the best part is their reaction where they:
-
stubbornly and hilariously continue to argue opinion as fact or even going to the extreme of posting conspiracy theories or easily demonstrable falsehoods as fact. i like it when they post something from facebook or a video of a random from youtube.
-
instead of rationally thinking,“hmmm…maybe i should fully inform myself of the facts (no, i’m not talking about youtube, facebook, infowars, etc”) if only for my own edification. instead, they get mad at the poster who clowned on them by daring to expose them to a fact. after all, why blame yourself when you can blame others for something totally under one’s control.

I do hope so.
There is a difference between electing not to read anything out of the history stacks, and skipping out on Illuminated Bible Stories.
…I’d have written “Illustrated”, but “Illuminated” is, no false modesty, great wordplay.
That, and I’d rather not diss John K. Samson by association.

You’re not the only one but the other’s that do, don’t have a convincing argument against him. mr. punk’s post are shorter, more concise and deal with the current matters. Shin Akuma’s posts are long as hell and have consistently read like someone who just found out that Christopher Columbus didn’t discover America…and it’s been like that for several years with no signs of changing.

I wouldn’t know. Both of 'em post in such a way that’s it looks like unreadable dreck no matter which way you spin it.
Bro, I don’t even bother with Twitter so why would I bother reading posts from a bot that aggregates tweets

Welp, the gun control debate is pretty much over now: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/19/us/3d-printed-gun-settlement-trnd/index.html
Was probably only a matter of time before some dumb ass thought it was a good idea to make 3D printed guns. Goes to show you how quickly technology is moving and how behind the law is when it comes to keeping up. I’d imagine the government will make a law in regards to 3D printed guns, but by then it may already be too late. IMO 3D printed guns should be outright illegal to own, print, and download.

the government has been on this for years now. Or did the lot of you forget the video that I posted on the evolution of 3d printed guns several months back?
Feel free to offer him as a sacrifice to the Altar of Civility & Both Sides, by putting him on ignore.

Whoever taught you that America was a Democratic Republic, obviously doesn’t know their shit.
“In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our Republic and transforming it into a Democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling America a Democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term, totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of American principles of government.”
— The Dan Smoot Report #556 - “A Republic, Not A Democracy”
By thoughtlessly accepting and using the term Democracy to describe America, you’ve let the totalitarian traitors win.
And just because certain amendments have been passed, it doesn’t magically make America a Democratic Republic.
“In a Constitutional Republic, which is what this country began, what it was supposed to be, and what it’s still supposed to be, even though many changes have been made that makes that doubtful… it is not, never was and was never intended to be a Democracy. A Democracy is what will help you become a slave quicker than anything. For Democracy is only a code word for “Socialism”, which leads ultimately, to dictatorship and slavery, degradation, slave labour camps, death squads, confiscation of property, the disillusion of the free market, destruction of the individual. That’s what Socialism really is. You can call it anything you want, spout off all the fancy sounding definitions that you want, but that, is what Socialism really is.”

Dude behind Pizzagate, was also behind GamerGate, is a hypocrite, a racist and an all around piece of shit. ‘Jokes’ about a minor being murdered and connects it to stopping a rapist.
Not really shocked…
