Spin Zone / Re: Trump Just Hit Feinstein and Harris With Payback
« on: October 15, 2018, 05:50:38 AM »
We have noticed that Trump repeatedly seems to manage the news cycle with the timing of his announcements and activities. He literally has to do it that way, since the media repeatedly runs altered, biased reports about same. At the last rally he gave a speech where he mentioned generals Grant and Lee, and ABC had to issue a retraction on their cut-up video and report that he praised a horrible, mean general. Trump tweeted about the correction, but the damage was done as the leftie audiences gobble up stuff like this and take it as truth.

Although I am pleased with President Trump, and he has my loyalty and vote, I’d like to see two things ... debt reduction and much more swamp draining. If he is re-elected in 2020, that might be the time to let those hammers start falling in earnest.

Thanks Steingar. You just admitted what we all suspected about manmade climate change “data.”  No one is looking behind the curtain. No wonder “the debate is over.”

The term "Settled Science" should be Kryponite to a legit scholar.

I've been considering registering here as four or five other anon posters, and assuming some identities, but - that might not be in the spirit of board protocol.  8)

Besides, more than likely I'd getting into a pissing contest with some of my multiple personalities, and one of them would get banned. That would upset me, and me, and me too. Stop that! You first asshat. Who are you calling asshat you jerkwad! (etc, ad-infinitum).

A guy actually did that years ago on the red board.

I can’t remember his name, just that he started arguments with himself and would get all nuts about what he just posted.

His name might have been Ken something’...

I think we need to put together a moderator budget to purchase participation trophies for those who, through no fault of our own, weren’t chosen to be Supreme Leaders of the Galaxy (a/k/a “moderators”) yet still need to be validated as being important and valued members of this board.

Let me direct you to my new seminar on being an adult: Click Here. For only $49.95 per course, I will soon release the following additional seminars -

  • Telling the Future for Dummies® - An in-depth analysis of why announcing moderators on an unmoderated forum might cause unrest
  • Circling the Wagons - Why it has no place on the moderation team
  • Transparency - Not just for windows

I've stayed out of this shit storm until now.  Is Shamalamadingdong a bot or real person?  It's been mentioned that folks feel it is Bryan from PoA, based on what evidence?  If it is a real person, should they not be allowed to post and if they do post, why should any of their posts be deleted?
Continue your shit storm.

I agree, with one exception: Mitch McConnell erred in saying (I think it was yesterday) that Kavanaugh was going to be on the Supreme Court. But yes, they are giving her every chance to agree to appear this week, and if she doesn't, there's really nothing they can do but hold the vote and of course, with only an uncorroborated allegation, from an accuser who refuses to make a statement under oath, he will (and should) be confirmed.

As you might expect, my perspective on this is a little different than most here. I doubt her accusation was politically motivated (mostly because as I understand it, her revealing the incident to a therapist in 2012 has been confirmed as true), and I can understand her reluctance to jump into a partisan maelstrom, especially if, as it seems, she was an anti-Trump demonstrator. I also wonder how certain she is that it was Kavanaugh. My guess is that this is probably a case of mistaken identity. But if not, and she is 100% certain, then I hope she'll take the deal and testify. She'll have a hard time living with herself if she is right and he gets confirmed. Worse for the country, if corroborating evidence comes out after he is on the Court, then things get very messy.
I appreciate your deference for giving Ford the benefit of the doubt, but I have so such compulsion.  People are capable of making up stories to therapists if it means defending their actions or inactions in matters involving marriage.  Imagine a male spouse wanting to go to a therapist because his wife wouldn’t have sex with him. Wife needs an excuse, and concocts a unverifiable story of a high school incident that provides her an excuse for her behavior. I’m not saying that was the situation, but I’m trying to demonstrate that an alleged admission to a therapist is not dispositive.

Further, do we know that Judge Kavanaugh was specifically named in that therapy session?  That’s what is implied, but to my knowledge we have no idea. It actually seems odd to name a specific individual in a therapy session.

Lastly, I have zero patience for a 35 year old story being told to a congressman or a senator instead of the police. That put the wires story into the political realm, with no turning back.

I give her no quarter in this case.

So I'll modify my statement to say that while not all persons present may have been on the same repugnant moral ground, plenty on both sides were.
You have to be careful.  Trump stirred up a shit storm when he said there was fault on both sides.  Those "tolerant" liberals won't tolerate talk like that.

I don't agree that historically important statues should be torn down either, but chanting "Jews shall not replace us" and other racist slogans vs. protesting racism and anti-semitism on the same moral plane? Seriously? We must live in parallel universes, you and I.

My impression was that the protests got violent when a large group of neo-nazis surrounded a smaller group of student counterprotestors who were standing near one of the statues. I have no idea who threw the first punch, but to me, a larger group surrounding a smaller group is clearly a threatening move. And James Fields, who allegedly drove the car that killed Heather Heyer, was I believe part of the Unite the Right demonstration.

I think we might move in parallel universes if we get our news from different sides. There is no objective news outlet anymore.

My understanding is that the Unite the Right group consisted of several sub groups, only one or a few were neo-Nazi or white supremacist. Those would be the ones shouting "Jews shall not replace us" and are the sick extremists to which I refer. On the other side, some or all are hateful and intolerant  of anyone that disagrees with them and "privileged white males" in particular. Their hatred is just as vicious and evil and violence against their targets is even publicly encouraged by their elected leaders (Maxine Waters).

So I'll modify my statement to say that while not all persons present may have been on the same repugnant moral ground, plenty on both sides were.

Which brings us back to your made up four pillars of socialism. If #1 is correct, then I guess I'll have to deal with being one quarter socialist. Oh well.

All poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.
Even if all socialists and communists are atheists, that doesn't mean that all atheists are socialists or communists.

Negative. None of us were evicted from POA. The unmoderated SZ was shut down, and what was left of the site was moderated.
Spin it any way you want it.  Pilot Spin was created because POA ran off the Spin Zone. 

Funny that POA itself was created because of overzealous moderation but they too succumbed to the disease of power.

The Media today is more in the business of making a narrative FIT their Progressive agenda.  They are Leftist propagandists, with a few exceptions.  The large bulk of the media are there to mold opinions to what THEY believe, not disseminate facts, or news.  Even Cronkite admitted that, but he was very good at convincingly, misleading people.

Another scenario that could play out:  The EU ambassador will come with a new trade proposal that will allow Trump to waive the tariffs and avert a trade war, in which case, the US will be better off.  Remember, Europeans are much more practiced at surrendering than we are (except for recent history).  But Trump is changing that.
It's not a done deal yet, and I don't want to say I told you so, but I did.
