Based on your comments here concerning this bill I have to politely disagree with your statement about understanding what it says.
Where does it say that in this bill? Or in any sort of legislation?
It's pretty concerning that you think that someone wanting people to know the facts concerning the issue is equivalent to excusing anyone of wrong doing.
I get the impression some people are more interested in just finding something to be outraged over and don't mind fudging the truth on a topic to be able to do that.
Hence why normies so often accuse us of spreading disinformation which leads to people dismissing us out of hand, no matter the topic.
You understand that this bill only applies to anti-discrimination laws, right?
Why do you think pointing out things that are factually wrong made in posts here, and then providing evidence to support those claims is the same as "defending the criminals in Congress"?
You can criticize foreign governments all you want to. This bill deals exclusively with anti-discrimination laws.
I'm curious, did you look into the accuracy of that Twitter/X post in any way, or did you automatically accept it as fact?
I'm not trying to call you out or embarrass you. I'm trying to understand why people seem to automatically believe these posts made by complete strangers. I find it particularly odd that people here do that, considering this is claimed to be an elite research forum.
This bill is exclusively about anti-discrimination laws. Freedom of Speech does not apply there.

Well said.
Pizzas? Really, pizzas?
I thought that pizza was a secret code for pedophiles and child sex slaves.
This doesn't seem to be matching what I'm reading concerning this bill.
From what I understand, this bill is adopting a standardized definition of antisemitism to be applied to actions that violate anti-discrimination laws. It doesn't involve the freedom of speech of ordinary citizens.
It's always been illegal to discriminate against someone because of their race, ethnicity, or religion.
It seems like the bill is making the definition of antisemitism a standard across the board because there has been so much disagreement over what exactly can be considered antisemitic.
Here's the bill:

And here is what the adopted definition of antisemitism will be:

Edited to add:
I'm curious as to how many people took the time to look up what the Bill actually says instead of just automatically accepting what some stranger typed into a Twitter/X message and then getting outraged about it.
Reading through this thread indicates it's not very many.
Sigh. Yeah, but it just feels like I've been doing this a LOT recently. Like every time I engage with a post, I'm calling out in the voice of the skeptical Devil's Avocado.
I know exactly how you feel. I agree that it's gotten worse recently, but I've been playing Devil's Advocate for years here. (This is not my original account, before someone points out the join date for this name.)
It's so incredibly frustrating to see so many people just automatically believing something, no matter how outlandish, just because some random person posted a screenshot of some other random person making some claim with zero evidence to support it. It really is disheartening to see that here, where people should know better.
And it really takes it to the the point of absurdity when I point out that there is zero evidence to support whatever the OP is claiming just to be called a shill and get deported and banned for it. And the cherry on the top is to see those same people involved bragging about how this is an elite research board and pat themselves on the back for their awesome research skills.๐คฆโโ๏ธ
If this is how people are dealing with fellow Anons (and I 100% believe Q is real) who either disagree with them or are pointing out that there is zero evidence for their claims, I can just imagine how they interact with any normies they're able to engage with about Q. If it's anything like what I've experienced here there's no wondering why we have had such problems with redpilling normies.
There really should be some sort of a basic training program that teaches people how to verify information before spreading it, how to avoid confirmation bias, and how to make logical, persuasive arguments without getting upset or angry because someone doesn't just automatically accept what they're being told.
And dear God, I really wish people would take a little time to really learn about whatever it is they're trying to convince others of before making fools of themselves, and all other Anons by extension.
It is beyond embarrassing to see those "gotcha" type videos of liberals interviewing Q/Trump supporters and making them look idiotic because they don't really understand what they're talking about. If you want to see examples of what I'm talking about, just look up videos of Jordan Klepper or the YouTube Channel Rebel HQ.
I wish more OPs would be even half as diligent as your are about verifying information before they post it. Things like this just bolster the claims against us that we just spread misinformation. It certainly doesn't help our credibility with the normies.
And it's especially embarrassing since we claim to be an elite research board.
Why would he delete it?
Well, that's certainly convenient...
Well said. ๐๐๐
So then he's the one responsible for all the military aid we're sending to Ukraine? And the shit show in Afghanistan?
So are we going with the narrative that this is the real HRC now, and not a clone/lookalike?
Even if it was the real HRC, I don't see why she would be worried personally. President Trump had 4 years to deal with her, and never did. (If we're going with the narrative this is the real HRC.)
Excellent rundown of the issue. There's nothing I can add that you haven't already covered. Great post.
Oh, I understand. You're saying they need to be sold over the counter without a prescription. Well, that's certainly an interesting idea.
Then don't say they stopped all immigration. Severely limiting immigrants from select countries is not at all the same thing as stopping "all migration for 50 years".
Why even bother making such an outlandish and easily refuted comment? We're already said to be spreading disinformation enough as it is. Why give them ammunition to back up that claim?
Prescription drugs are already legalized...
We have never stopped all immigrants from entering the country. Ever.
Where are you getting this?
I don't see anything in that post that details what people are saying here.
It's very difficult for me to have much sympathy for people who choose to drink and drive and then get upset about the consequences of those actions.
I was hit by a drunk driver the summer after graduating high school and it has impacted my life horribly. I almost lost a leg, have had metal pins and rods placed in it and have had around 9 surgeries on it over the years, and I still need more. I've had to have my hip replaced because of complications from limping for so long on that leg.
I'm 46 now. I've been dealing with chronic pain from that car wreck for almost THIRTY YEARS. Add to that both short term and long term memory problems from head trauma and neck and back problems caused by the wreck.
I had to delay going to college because of being in the hospital and then going through re-hab. I was a scholarship student before the accident and after it I have trouble remembering simple things. The career I was hoping for before the accident never panned out because I couldn't handle the academic courses because of my memory problems.
The money I got from the accident barely covered the hospital bills from the first hospital stay. It certainly hasn't paid for all of the additional surgeries, hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, or medication costs I've had after that. I would estimate that all of those have cost me around $100,000 over the last 30 years just in co-pays.
That doesn't even touch on the quality of life issues I've dealt with like having to cope with living with chronic pain for decades. And unless you've dealt with chronic pain and the issues surrounding it, you really can't understand how debilitating it is. I've missed out on so much of my children's childhoods because I was hurting too much to play with them, or go for walks, or kick balls, etc...
So it's never as cut and dried as "Oh, they got money from the accident so they'll be fine."
At least I never had to deal with having to listen to the drunk driver who hit me complaining about having to spend a few months in jail because he died at the scene. So thank God for small mercies, I suppose, because if I had to deal with listening to him complain about having to serve a few months for essentially ruining my life, I'm sure I would have been homicidal.
So, yeah, that's why I think it's in bad taste to complain about having to serve a few months for hurting others and endangering lives of innocents for choosing to drive drunk. I don't care how much anyone tries to rationalize it, it's just the epitome of self-centeredness and disregard for the lives of others.
