  1. Sounds like pure fiction (or FOX news). I don't recall any indication that Clinton talked to Steele, let alone to the Russians. A law firm working for her campaign hired a Washington, D.C. political research outfit that was being hired by Republicans and Democrats. Any chance you can back up this claim? That's incorrect, and the Mueller report was just the first report and by Mueller's own words did not exonerate Trump. It has since been confirmed by Senate and Treasury reports that Trump's campaign chair met with a Russian intelligence officer (who was involved in the Russian election interference effort) to share proprietary polling data and campaign strategy info--which was then delivered to the Kremlin and presumably used to target and influence Americans. And more. The Trump-Russia collusion is a verified fact. You can cover your eyes and ears as much as you like, but it happened and is part of the historical record.
  2. Yes, I absolutely would have preferred that a non-story be, not so much suppressed, but left alone as a non-story. What kind of weirdo thinks that the head of the FBI should be holding press conferences about non-stories on the eve of a presidential election? And the only thing different about 2020 is that people were properly cautious about the Hunter Biden laptop story. All this whining about suppression when we're talking about a couple of days of being careful and responsible. It's insane the there are people who think the media (or anyone else) should have gone all in on an incredibly sketchy story from the NYP. What a world they imagine, where elections are primarily driven not by facts, but by whichever side can made the most outrageous allegations in October and ask people to vote before any such allegations can be verified.
  3. No, the moral of the story is that the head of the FBI shouldn't hold a press conference until he's confirmed that he has something press-worthy to say. That goes for anyone else. Just basic responsible behavior. Comey was more worried about himself than he was worried about tilting the election, and America paid the price for it. Lesson learned for 2020.
  4. He's not afraid of lying. He's just afraid that technology can do it so much faster that it will "take his job."
  5. That's crap. Comey felt the "need" to announce just before the election that they had found more potentially damning emails on Anthony Weiners laptop. But it turns out they were just the same emails that had already been investigated. Too late. Damage done.
  6. You are incorrect. They can help to prevent infection. They can help to prevent illness. They can mitigate symptoms and risks. There is a flu vaccine every year aimed specifically at reducing hospitalization and death among the infected. You don't get to redefine words for the sake of political convenience.
  7. "AP called the 2016 election for Donald Trump at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, and Clinton called Trump to congratulate him about 10 minutes later."
  8. False. Plainly false. Dishonest as always.
  9. Do you have trouble reading. Again, the distinction is that Clinton and co NEVER impugned the integrity and security of the electoral process. She never tried to convince Americans that their votes don't count or that they can't trust election results. You fail.
  10. Provide the quote, man up or weasel out. 3 options.
  11. Okay. Please quote even a single instance in which Clinton claimed election fraud or impugned the security of the voting process. I won't hold my breath. And based on past experience, I also don't think you will have the backbone to admit you were wrong when you come up empty. Clinton did decry some of the foul play during the campaign--Comey's unnecessary October surprise, voter suppression efforts, and the Russian interference (which the Trump campaign aided) but she never undermined the integrity of the electoral process. That claim is a lie.
  12. The numbers show, clearly and indisputably, that vaccinated people who contract COVID are dramatically less likely to be hospitalized and dramatically less likely to die. Your numbers may be right but you're not looking at the right numbers. It's as simple as that. Any given individuals odds are much better with the vax.
  13. This is a lie. Clinton never claimed election fraud or in any way undermined faith in the election system. Her version of "stolen" is that she got farked over by Comey. which is true.
  14. Jeebus. You'the like a bullshit factory, mass producing the same crap posts months after month. Do you have macros set up? As always, a mix of half-truths, lies and misinformation, and most debunked many times over. But full points for consistency. ?
  15. It's not just the pandemic with him. It's vaccines in general. Like full on, Jenny McCarthy crazy. Hasb been for many years. It's about the only thing he's known for publicly. Well, that and the name.
  16. I can't stand listening to this buffoon any longer. Just go away. Preferably to prison. I'm sure we're going to round up the homeless and ship them to Mexico where they'll be enlisted as forced labor to build a border wall that Mexico will pay for.
  17. Nobody is "silencing" him. FOX is lying to you. His candidacy is well publicized. Anyone anywhere can read about his anti-vax nutball views. He's just a distraction riding on a famous name. He's getting all the coverage he deserves.
  18. That is definitely NOT the only explanation. People are still tuning in because in a world full of real news, FOX viewers still, as always, love hearing coverage designed solely to confirm their narrow biases. FOX never was a source for quality journalism. It was never intended to be anything more than lucrative infotainment. They hire personalities instead of journalists, their award shelf is bare, but the revenue is real and that's all that matters to them.
  19. Aww. I wish Dominion had held out to give the bastards a taste of their own medicine. Watching Fox people say terrible (and finally true) things about Fox would have been so much fun.
  20. Close. It really seems to be that transgender people shouldn't be allowed.
  21. Can you imagine being such a deeply insecure loser that a company adding one trans influencer (out of dozens if not hundreds) to their roster, that it would deeply affect your brand affinity? Most people's identities and affections just aren't that fragile. Nah, this is just loud noise from the culture warriors. And if the conservative America is really this fragile I'm going to start a fund to have Mulvaney endorse AR-15s.
  22. Personally, I think this whole story is silly. A case of post hoc ergo propter hoc. To believe it deliberate is to imagine, implausibly, that people care enough about a sponsored social media post from a little-known trans influencer is enough to get people to change their beer of choice or their investment strategy in a blue chip company. Are bud light drinkers so transphobic that this sponsorship will induce then to switch beers? Not at scale. Are InBev investors so transphobic that they will dump stock over a post - or do they believe Bud Light drinkers are so transphobic that they will switch brands over this? Not at scale. No this is just a stock blip that is being politicized by the transphobic culture warriors.
  23. Once again, the GOP is making David Frum into a bona fide futurist. "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy," -- David Frum
  24. Is it weird? No, not actually. News sources cover news. Actual information. Not conspiracy and innuendo. Luckily you've got a network that will insinuate and "just ask questions" that you find very super compelling. But to be fair, everyone that I've ever played golf with has told me the intricacies of their business dealings. That's definitely what we talk about. ? My absolute favorite part about all of this is that your vivid imagination is entirely partisan. The documented fact of Trump's campaign chair sharing proprietary polling (targeting) information with Russian intelligence operatives involved in election interference scheme is no big deal, not evidence of anything. But, Joe Biden playing a round of golf with his son and an associate means he's corrupt for sure and lying about everything!!!111!! -- You're such a joke.
  25. ^^ This just isn't grounded in any sort of reality. 1. It's not even clear what this sentence means, but I have never seen any trans activist trying to abolish men or women as a gender. Overwhelmingly they want to BE part of one gender or another. 2. "Feminizing men" deserves a huge. ? And inclusive language is precise specifically to make room for everyone. I don't particularly understand "chestfeeding" as necessary in that "breast" is not gendered term in the first place, but "menstruating person" makes plenty of sense in that there are people who menstruate who identify as men. So why not use language that includes those people? Is there any harm in it? Is it harder to say "menstruating person" than "menstruating woman"? Is that burning extra calories? Costing extra dollars? No. So what's the damn problem? The only consequence is that people in that category can be addressed and included as well. Great. 3. Yes, all this nonsense about the pain of social exclusion and the abuses they suffere and the heartwrenching desire to be accepted and tolerated in society is a clever ruse. Their real mission is to confuse you about what gender is (it's about you, of course, not them). It's all about the lolz. They're just trolling you. Some would say that gender reassignment surgery is too far to go for the sake of a practical joke, but these are some committed mischief makers. Epic farking prank.
