It looks to me like a lot of posts here are trying to square the circle: pedes are convinced the vax is bad, but then confused by hearing Trump vouch for it. That confusion kinda looks like contradiction, I'd say.
Honest question -- What do you consider the difference between a pentagram and a normal star/circle design?
Agreed:
French Israeli Six Day War commemorative medal, 1967; struck in silver (marked 999 on rim); no artist/maker mark; weight: 13.1g; size: 33mm: Back: Flag of Israel with sword and olive branch on either side and a variation of the French national motto ("Liberty, Brotherhood, Equality) rendered here as "Freedom, Peace, Brotherhood", the Hebrew word "Bazak" ("swift") and "Under the Star of David, Campaign of 6 Days" and the period underneath;
Front: a legend in Hebrew along the edge "With G-d's Will Was Saved the Peace of the World" with images of a plane, a tank and the Torah.
Possibly issued by French-Jewish volunteers in the war effort.

Franken is also a deadpan comedian, careful there
Pokemon cards kinda deflates the issue.
"These people are going to have a real rude awaking pretty soon, and we, the patriots are about to administer it to them if the jab doesn't kill them first"
Meaning what?
All of it.
I feel the same way on the other side, when the hospital is airing Fox News -- it's like a glimpse into a parallel universe of fear. "Geez, how can people believe this propaganda, why not come over to our side, where it's nice and comfy and non-scary?"
TV news really speaks to its base with sledgehammer force. It's only gonna get worse too...
The cabal used HAM radios, what? Like the kind you can buy at Fry's?
Color me... suspicious.
Ah, gotcha, name origins.
The name Donald John Trump means "the ruler of the world, graced by God and a descendant of a war drummer."
In what?
It's the roids.
Misinformation has a powerful reach, and we all want a quick fix after a year of waiting -- logic is touch-and-go these days.
Maybe my Rat Pack is blending together.
Do you believe the human trafficking is happening and being severely covered up?
I believe human trafficking is indeed happening and is a humanitarian crisis, and I believe there are definitely people in positions of power that use this network, abuse kids, and cover up their actions -- we've exposed a few of them, over the decades.
But I also think the bigger a secret gets, and the more people that get involved, the harder the secret is to keep. I guess I subscribe to the lone wolf theory of sexual predators: Do I believe in a global cabal operating like a well-oiled machine, abusing kids, harvesting adreno, and selling it? No. Do I believe in individual powerful people with individual sick urges, finding different ways to fulfill their needs? I'll buy that any day.
At least I dare to believe most humans are morally good.
100% agree, always have, always will.
The martini glass is the giveaway for me.
This is going to get into some personal opinions on media, so forgive me if I start relentlessly bullshitting/pontificating or whatnot. But with this:
liberals/democrats look like an anarchist death cult
I think the operative words are
look like
Right-wing news portrays liberals as anarchist monsters, the same way left-wing news portrays conservatives as backwards rednecks. Rachel Maddow frames the news for her base, Laura Ingraham frames the news for hers.
And the picture of liberals/conservatives that spreads is the loudest, most offensive picture, because it's the easiest to encapsulate in a segment, an image, or a tweet, and have something snarky to say about it. The most colorful targets are the easiest targets -- that's the blue-haired SJWs, and the red-hat MAGAs.
The result is a sort of funhouse mirror representation of the other side. I've had trouble with it my whole life -- I grew up on the West Coast, knowing zero conservative folks, and my only experience with the political right was seeing it mocked on The Daily Show.
I'm curious why anyone would choose to be a liberal? What attracts people to it?
I didn't really choose to be a liberal, I just saw the dem party ideology lined up the nicest with my personal set of beliefs. I didn't choose to be a liberal any more than I chose to be a size 13 mens shoe.
What attracts people to it? Not sure, I haven't met a lot of liberal-converts. But what attracts anyone to any ideology? It just clicks, right?
Why do liberals highjack language and squash differing opinions like they do?
I hate to play the "everybody does it" card, but I could make those exact same accusations about the conservative side, or any party. Hijacking language is good politics, and squashing differing opinions is a pretty handy way of maintaining power. Cynical, but hey, I'm a liberal.
I have seen that evidence (this is my actual commenting account, I've been lurking since 2019) and this is where it gets to be a Rorschach test: you and me can look at the evidence, and we'll reach complete opposite conclusions.
I swore I wouldn't get argumentative so I'll tread lightly here, but what I see in those videos/evidence is an unfathomably complicated process that is ripe for conflicting interpretations (not to mention honest misunderstandings, and some bad faith trolls spreading misinformation).
Amen to that, brother.
Tennessee Unmasked! sounds like a slick scandalous expose, Thursday at 8/9C on FOX.
According to the journalists I follow on Twitter, the fencing is coming down kinda area-by-area. It came down around Lafayette Park, still up in other areas.
I'll be here!
Right on -- this is a "time will tell" kind of era we're living in.
lol it's more of an open secret.
Turn the other cheek, fren: you won't convince her and she won't convince you. When two sides are trying to make each feel stupid in a Facebook fight, the only way to win is to refuse to play.
