"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
Never thought of it this way. I always took "Draining the Swamp" as getting rid of all these people. But when you drain the swamp, you're actually left with all the swamp creatures, now fully exposed and no where to hide.
Here's how they're fighting mis/disinformation now:
- Censorship - You know, stuff like █████████ and ██████, not to mention ███████ which is the worst one.
- Ad Hominem - You are racist/sexist/transphobic etc..
- Appeal to Emotion - These migrants are just looking for a better life
- Appeal to Authority - Official sources, CDC, WHO, DOJ, FBI, etc..
- Appeal to Ridicule - People that do X are uneducated hicks
- Argument from Repetition - Say it enough and it becomes true, 4am talking points
- Argumentum ad Populum - All the European countries have already tackled X problem successfully
- Bandwagon - 99% of scientists agree
- Begging the Question - Trump must be guilty, why else would he have so many indictments?
- Burden of Proof - You can't prove that all the "died suddenly" was from vaccines, there it's not true
- Circular Reasoning - You are what you identify as, because why would you identify as that if you're not that?
- Equivocation - Using misleading terms of more than one meaning, the left loves this one. They redefine words to win arguments.
- Etymological Fallacy - poses that a certain term's original meaning applies to its colloquial and modern understanding. Saying "See you guys later" is bad because women are present
- Fallacy of Quoting Out of Context - Trump said white supremacists are very fine people!
- Fallacy of Composition and Division - Banning guns. Apparently criminal murderers will follow those laws.
- False Dilemma - Chop your child's dick off, or you want them to commit suicide
- Ignoratio Elenchi - Yeah things were better under Trump, but he is a facist
- Inflation of Conflict - Do you have a degree in X? No? then your opinion is irrelevant no matter how much research you did
- Kettle Logic - You must support the war in Ukraine to defend democracy
- Loaded Question - Do you think Trump should have presidential immunity from all the crimes he committed?
- Middle Ground - Don't like LGBTQAIPP2S and critical race theory indoctrination for 8 year olds? Okay maybe we should wait until they are 10
- No True Scotsman - America was built by immigrants, if you don't want them pouring into the county you are anti-american
- Personal Incredulity - We can't possibly be ruled by satanic pedos, why would anyone do that?
- Proving Too Much - That white guy is racist, therefor white people are racist
- Red Herring - Pretty much all of climate change
- Retrospective Determinism - America had slavery in the past, therefor systemic racism
- Slippery Slope - If Donald Trump gets elected for a second term, he will show his true colors as a nazi dictator, abolish the U.S. democratic republic, and appoint himself as emperor.
- Special Pleading - Yeah lockdown ruined many peoples lives, but we were facing a health crisis!
- Strawman - Opposing abortion means you don't respect woman's rights. Opposing gun control means you want dead children.
This is crazy. I think Hillary Clinton is one of the most evil human being to ever walk the earth, but I'd be pissed if she was assassinated, I want her to face justice! Yet these people talk about assassinating Trump with glee, they have no morals.
Haha, I meant suite. Or maybe I meant the special sweet suite, yeah that's it
So foreign governments stayed at his hotels and had to pay the bill? I don't see that as a problem, they shouldn't even need to donate that money to the treasury. I could only see this being an issue if it was some scheme like "Oh we'll sign you up for the special sweet, that will be $10,000,000" (kind of like the book deal schemes that democrats do).
That did not happen here though. Not to mention Trump is a billionaire, he is not bribable. For all intents and purposes he already has infinite money.
Don't have to believe in God to believe in good and evil. Do you only do or strive to do good because you are hoping for a reward in the afterlife? or fear punishment otherwise? Or do you try and fight for good because that's what you want to do? If so, you just so happen to include God in what you consider to be good.
Sometimes religious people make me double take because when they talk about this issue they make it seem like God is the only thing stopping them from raping and killing people. (Not really an atheist myself, although I don't believe in joining or belonging to an organized religion because I think they're all corrupt)
Even if the universe was just "random happenstance" as you put it, it can still be meaningful to the individual. Maybe even more meaningful because it is so fleeting. You can still strive for justice and good, although some people think God is the only one who can know what that is. I have a conscience, and if God is real he gave me that conscience, so I'm going to use it.
Great article worth the read. Here's another video in the same vein if you'd rather just listen: D-I-E must DIE
It's insane how wide spread this has become, and if you resist at all you are demonized. I think it's mainly from entities like BlackRock and Vanguard in combination with ESG scores, there is no other reason that companies would be dumping all this money in programs like this. I don't know a single person that actually wants any of this, even people that are ideologically aligned with DEI don't like what it's become in the corporate world.
Anybody who works with a company that does business nation wide already knows what a pain it is to work with California or New York! You'll have business processes that work with the entire nation, then separate processes for California and New York (often those are different from each other)
I'm sorry for your loss. Time heals all wounds.. and I believe you'll see her again
I don't believe for a second that any of these people actually got vaccinated. But for the sorry souls who did, it makes you even more likely to catch it.
The article:
Special counsel Jack Smith, who filed court documents calling for former President Donald Trump to be banned from making "political attacks" in his upcoming trial, "should be scared," Trump attorney Alina Habba said Wednesday on Newsmax.
"This is a due process violation," Habba on Newsmax's "Greg Kelly Reports," saying that Smith is "running scared."
"They do it in the form of a gag order," Habba said. "He doesn't want, basically, any defense being brought by the defense. It's what happened with the last trial I tried. It's what will happen with the next one I try."
Judges, Habba said, will "gag you" while trying to use Trump's "popularity and his voice as a way to work against us and the American people so that people cannot hear the truth."
Smith, in papers filed Wednesday, said Trump should be barred during his federal trial on election subversion charges from telling jurors that he is being selectively prosecuted.
"Through public statements, filings, and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial," senior assistant special counsel Molly Gaston wrote in the papers. "Although the court can recognize these efforts for what they are and disregard them, the jury — if subjected to them — may not."
Trump's trial is scheduled to start March 4, and will be the first trial on the criminal charges filed against him as he is campaigning for the 2024 presidential election.
"That's saying you cannot put your own defense," Habba said. "That's like saying you can't have an expert on the [New York Attorney General] Letitia James case or gagging his lawyers, which has happened to me. I was gagged in the courtroom. I could not put on a defense on the record for the appellate division. I couldn't say things that needed to be said. That is what our country has come to."
Habba said Smith also shows he's running scared with his attempt to get the Supreme Court to rule quickly on whether Trump has immunity as a former president.
"The only urgency that Jack Smith has, and all of them have, is election interference, and trying to stop him before November 2024, which clearly they cannot do," said Habba. "If you look at the polls, the American people the independents are switching because they see what is happening, and they're afraid."
Meanwhile, Habba said that if judges would start applying the law in Trump cases, "they would see that he has done nothing wrong. The only thing that's going wrong is these [George] Soros-backed AGs and DAs that are trying to make a name for themselves."
Trump can't be stopped in the polls, Habba added, so "they're trying to stop him with these judges and AGs … you can look at who is funding this. It is one funding after another by people that are Soros-backed."
Habba added that James is "absolutely determined to take him down ant any cost because the Trump name gets you votes whether you're for him or against him. He is an epic individual and this is really political motivation in lawfare."
Pretty sure they are referring to this:
LEAKED: CEO of IBM Coerces Employees, Threatens to Cut Bonuses Unless They Discriminate in Hiring
Nice work, I think with the Elon X logo number people were really reading more into it than was warranted. People saying there is that "17" in there for some purpose, when really it's just to make it a prime number.
parents who do not vaccinate their children should be liable if their child transmits a vaccine-preventable disease to other people
Either vaccines work and the vaccinated have nothing to worry about; or they don't work and there would be no difference between catching it from some vaxxed person vs some unvaxxed person.
I don't watch sports, and I'm with you on the whole "wokeness ruins everything" idea. But..:
dinner party ruined tonight with our late 20-something sons and a couple of their friends in attendance now (probably) glued to the TV
..That's not the NFL ruining anything. The NFL is not forcing them to watch, they are choosing to. So whatever problem that causes it's on them
Yeah shouldn't "egregiously low-quality, low effort posts" just fall off naturally by no one upvoting?
I guess it could potentially clog up "New", but that would only be if the person is making tons of said posts, in which case go ahead and do the ban.
But I don't have to moderate anything, so it's prob easy for me to criticize
And just to clarify what I mean by "You can visually see how that would be the case":
I mean the letters "rn" is very close to "m" in terms of OCR. You can easily see how an OCR system could misread "rn" as "m". Then even if that was done on purpose you could just say "The OCR system messed up"
True, but that makes sense in the context of OCR (Optical Character Recognition), you can visually see how that would be the case, and would provide cover saying it was just an OCR error.
Polsi to Pelosi, I'm not seeing that. That is all I am saying. Not saying it's nothing, just that it's not very convincing to me.
So I'd definitely recommend reading the original thread this refers to: https://greatawakening.win/p/17rmEoyIar/an-interesting-and-long-x-thread/c/ Super interesting!
But I'm not really convinced by the whole "If you take this word and add missing letters, and rearrange them, then it spells this other word!" You could do that with thousands of words to make them say whatever you want.
I really do like Jordan Peterson, and I'd agree that this is a very meaningful and important speech.
So their poison accidently had other poison that's not supposed to be in the original poison?
I'd be interested to know what other people think about this in the context of "Is Xi a white hat?" I know that theory has been floating around for a while.
It's a shame that pretty much everything said here was already known within the first weeks of this incident.
EVs only make sense for a very specific and small subset of the population, for specific uses. EVs have lots of issues:
