What criminal? Do you have any concept of the bail system? What it is and why it exists? There is a presumption of innocence in this country. Accused people are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. People who are judged not a flight risk and not to pose imminent threat should not have to forfeit their freedom, or their financial security, or their family lives unless they are found guilty of a crime. People should be free to facilitate their own defense in court. An accusation should not materially destroy someone. That's the justice system at work, and justice writ large as well. It's staggering that an adult doesn't know these things.

1. Claimed harm 2. Harm 3. WTF? 4. Harm. You don't have even an inkling of how to formulate a logical argument, do you?

It's like someone invented a bail system. Fascinating.

If something is a natural state of affairs, clearly it is "supposed to be" in nature. And if there is no harm then there is no justification for a post-natural civilization to attack that behavior. What definition would you like to invent for "supposed to be."🙄

You're just trumpeting your ignorance to the world? No evidence? Unwinnable case? The lawyers must know A LOT that you don't know. They secured unanimous jury verdicts--twice. And they have won the appeals cases--twice. Unwinnable? lol Stick to your day job.

This is not new news, but you are super bad at logic. You: Homosexuality is not "supposed to be" Me: Well, it's harmless and abundant in nature You: Well murder exists in nature and it's not right Me: Murder is a harmful, not harmless, so it's not a valid point of comparison

You started the thread with a statement "ain't suppose to be" which, bumbling grammar aside, is a teleological question. And certainly we'd look to nature to consider such a question. You assert that men aren't "supposed to be" with men and women aren't "supposed to be" with women, but both human history and the natural world dramatically undermine your poorly articulated hunch. Things that aren't "supposed to be" don't survive the long arc of natural selection. Yet here we are, just as we've always been, with a significant population of same-sex attracted people. Seems very much like it's "supposed to be." Hey, crazypants. You've drifted wildly off topic in your own thread. And right into pure fiction.

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with being gay. You're grasping at straws. Not to mention that for individuals seeking to limit such growth, that does not constitute harm.

Not surprised that your ignorance also extends to zoology, but there are quite a few species that do have sex for pleasure rather than for reproduction. Most primates, several aquatic mammals, penguins, giraffes--on and on. Hell, if you've ever had a male dog, chances are that he had a favorite toy or pillow. Different evolutionary courses have led to quite a diversity of reproductive strategies. I don't care what consenting adults do in their bedrooms either, but I'd prefer that a lot of you don't do things that risk reproduction. Still not trying to pass laws against it. 💡

Is murder also harmless? No? Then it's a pretty dumb comparison. Rejected.

Bullshit. You're lying on both counts. Nobody was prosecuted for just standing outside. Nobody. And you think that's a generalization? -- The only people prosecuted were those who broke into and marauded around the capitol and those who were violent or instigating outside of the capitol. And those who were guilty of lesser offenses were NOT given maximum sentences. They were given things like probation or home confinement. You are lying because the facts make it clear that there was no vindictive prosecution.

You are farking delusional. He didn't even remotely imply killing. And he's just a private citizen. Meanwhile your Orange Overlord has explicitly and actively tried to overthrow democracy and purged non-loyalists from government through extraordinary and unprecedented means. I wonder what word they used? President Donald Trump: "We’ll seek ’em out. We’ll get rid of ’em. At every agency you have scum... We need to make it much easier to fire rogue bureaucrats who are deliberately undermining democracy." – MSN / HuffPost Reporting on Agency Purges American Accountability Foundation Watchlists: "If you see yourself on this list and wish to be removed, please forward us evidence that you've resigned or been fired." – Reuters Investigation into the "Subversive Worker" Purge Chris Christie (On early Trump administration proposals): "One of the things I have suggested to Donald is that we have to immediately ask the Republican Congress to change the civil service laws. Because if they do, it will make it a lot easier to fire those people... [and] purge government of Obama appointees." – Reuters

It's a generalization? You mentioned a specific "grandma who stood outside with a sign" and a proposed prison sentence as an example of "insane" prosecutions. But it never happened. The fact is that nobody, grandma or otherwise was prosecuted for standing outside. The only people who were prosecuted were people who occupied the capitol and a handful of violent people or instigators who did not go in. My best guess is that you "remembered" it from Twitter and tried to look it up, found there was no such thing, and are now trying to pass it off as a generalization. But fabrications with no relationship to reality are not generalizations. They are not generally representative of anything whatsoever. They are simply lies. Now this "Maga Granny" is worth applauding. Former ‘Maga Granny’ refuses to accept Trump’s pardon for actions on January 6 Pamela Hemphill insists on taking responsibility for role she played in trying to overturn the 2020 election results “Absolutely not,” Hemphill, 71, told the Guardian on Thursday. “It’s an insult to the Capitol police officers and to the rule of law and to the nation. It contributes to the propaganda that it was a peaceful protest, that the DoJ is weaponized against them and against Trump.” During the Capitol riot, Hemphill said she was pushed down, trampled on, and had her glasses smashed. She credits the Capitol police for saving her life. ... Hemphill, who has been sober since 1979 and is now a substance abuse counselor, compared her addiction to alcohol to the Maga ideology. She said undergoing therapy shifted her perspective; she now sees herself as a volunteer, not a victim. “This Maga cult and these J6 criminals and all their family are very upset that I am bringing the facts when they say something,” Hemphill said. “It’s just like working with an alcoholic – when you’re in denial, you get real upset.”

To whom are you referring? Pretty sure that's another fabrication. The pardons are evidence that Trump approves of violence against America--including legislators and law enforcement--in support of his personal interests. Self before country, always. A literal endorsement of political violence.

Homosexuality has always existed among humans, just as it has in most other coupling species. You can look around at the world and observe that homosexuality is, indeed, quite natural. Like any coupling, it brings benefit to the participants and has no external costs to anyone else--is joyful and harmless. So there's not a single rational reason in the world to believe that it's not "supposed" to be. Happy pride month to all who celebrate. Sorry that they have to put to with irrational hatred from the primitives.

"Take a moment and explain how the request for commentary on a specific video was absurd..."🙄 I showed you exactly why it was absurd. It's a dead issue because it was already a dead issue, and an absurd request. It just took you a half dozen posts to catch on to the fact.

Jeebus. Because why would I watch a specific (and favorable) video of Kirk? To what end? Do the shitty things he said not exist if they are not in that video? If you don't understand the VERY basic logic of this, again, go watch the Hitler video and cite evidence from that video that he's racist or fascist.

🤣 I see you've caught on to how utterly absurd your request was. But instead of saying, "Thanks for the lesson," you lash out. Go figure. Teaching is thankless work.

AI is like your mom, in that a lot of guys have used it and it will always tell you that you are smart, handsome and special. It's optimized for engagement. The sooner you internalize this information, the safer you'll be.

I swear, you people can't manage even baaaaaasic logic. You think Hitler was racist? Fascist? Really? Challenge: I challenge you to watch this video and cite specific examples that prove Hitler was racist and fascist. Go on. I'll wait. 🙄

Did your incessant gooning over Charlie Kirk finally break your brain? You say stupid shit here constantly. Yes, the world would be better off if you didn't say stupid shit--if nobody said stupid shit. But I don't think that someone killing you is the best way to rid the world of stupid shit. Can you think of any alternatives? Are you so farking simple that it's a binary proposition for you? That ugly rhetoric and political wrongness can only be ended by killing? No, nobody is that dumb. But you are DEFINITELY that dishonest, as you keep doubling/tripling/quadrupling down on right here.

Night is day. Black is white. Up is down. If you want to have a conversation with someone, try not lying about what they say. Your dishonesty is your choice.
