WestCanMan Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Moira - the wife/mother in the Schitt's Creek series, played by Catherine O'Hara - loved using obscure old words, the most useful of which imo is pettifogging. It's a 1-word term for "ignoring the elephant in the room". Right now Trump is leading one of the most successful military campaigns in the history of the world *knock on wood*, and all leftists can talk about is anything else. Threads like "Twumpo did this 😭" and "Twumpy did that 😭" are all over the place here, but he actually never did any of "this or that", leftists are just lying as usual, and the sad fact is that there's not a leftist here who can say "the ayatollah was bad", or "Go 'Murica!". Ask a leftist if it's bad that women get whipped and sent to jail for showing some hair and they'll just change the topic. Then they wonder why we hate them more than cancer. 2 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Reg Volk Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Remember when these bums were calling Trump "TACO" - Trump Again Chickens Out" - because he wouldn't do something. Now of course, when he does something, they are crying and whining too. It never ends with these pettifogging fools. BTW - Lincoln used this phrase in the movie "Lincoln" (2012). He was talking about the "pettifogging Tammany Hall hucksters" that were preventing the 13th amendment from being passed to abolish slavery and free the slaves, from Democrats of course. 2 Quote As Democrat and Liberal governments fall, Republicans and Conservatives come to the rescue.

This is the same stupid--truly, deeply stupid-- specious argument that you people apply to everything: If you don't like masked ICE thugs terrorizing your cities, it means you are pro-pedophile! If you don't like waging a unilateral war of choice in the ME, it means you support the Ayatollah! If you don't like the voter suppression in the SAVE act, it means you want to cheat at elections! It's too simplistic to be sincere critical thinking error. Kids outgrow this kind of thinking around middle school. Functional adults aren't going to do it in earnest. No, this is cynical speciousness. You don't care if it's a dumb premise and you sound like a fool saying it, as long as you can demonize someone with whom you disagree and have a nice circle jerk with your buddies. -- Wouldn't it be more satisfying to acutally come up with an intelligent and defensible argument? For the record, I haven't seen anyone in the US say that the Ayatollah was anything but a villain. (Nobody was confused that Saddam Hussein was a bad guy either.) But--and I can't believe I have to say this explicitly--it is entirely possible to achieve "right" outcomes through "wrong" actions. And it's equally possible to achieve positive outcomes and still end up at a net negative. Edited March 2 by Hodad 1 Quote

WestCanMan Posted March 2 Author Report Posted March 2 It's telling that Hodad is so triggered by this thread.

It's not like we never knew they were BS spamming, or lying, and it's not like we haven't said it before. I honestly don't know why this strikes such a chord with her.

Protesters, primarily in Minneapolis, have repeatedly tried to stop ICE from apprehending illegals that were actually guilty of very serious crimes, including SA against children.

Meanwhile, back in old fashioned America some of us hang onto the old idea that the means are always--if not more--important than the ends. That's what the country is built on, core and fundamental to the founding philosophy. Apparently I'm a conservative now, trying to hang onto those principles. 1 Quote

I'm gonna take a second to congratulate you for telling the truth. Thank you for that. Quote Something I'd rather not replicate in the US, It happened here during covid. Pastors were arrested for holding church services, the police trampled peaceful protesters, peaceful protesters were beaten in the street here, the police stole gas from protesters, froze people's bank accounts, and our gov't was calling the unvaxed "racists and misogynists". I agree: it's not something that you would ever want in your country. Quote but with Trump's secret police force acting with brutality and impunity we're another step closer. Homan was also Obama's ICE director. He won awards for.... removing more people than he has under Trump so far. Secret police, hey? With the f'ing word "ICE" emblazoned all over them...
