  1. I think deflection also applies here. I think there are ... 3 GOP led investigations into the oranges of the investigation of trump. what is going to be interesting is that those investigations will more than likely find NOTHING damning (nitpicky things, sure) but nothing truly damning and the GOP will all be THIS IS PROOF BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!! blah blah blah.... yet nothing from the Mueller report- it is going to be ******* maddening... yet totally expected. Its going to be a weaponized version of the nunes report...
  2. Clips from a CNN (which I believe Lemon works at) townhall is a completely different animal than a trump political rally. That difference matters. A lot.
  3. That is a great policy! But... there's gotta be some sort of catch, no? oh yeah, take money from poor students...
  4. This is an awesome animation dipicting how massive the largest black hole is.. https://www.businessinsider.com/black-hole-how-big-largest-universe-2019-5?jwsource=cl
  5. She states that she gets a calm feeling when she thinks about how she loves "the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that [safe haven], in many ways.” for Jews after the Holocaust. "There’s, you know, there’s a kind of a calming feeling, I always tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence, in many ways, had been wiped out," Tlaib said on Yahoo News’s “Skullduggery” podcast. "I mean, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time," she continued, before noting that she loves "the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that [safe haven], in many ways.”
  6. Is this the same dude who claimed that "Hundreds of papers published in 2017 prove that global warming is a myth." ? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/400-papers-published-in-2017-prove-that-global-warming-is-myth/ Questionable science from NTZ, but Snopes' description of the site is spot on though: " regurgitated material from a blog called the “No Tricks Zone” (NTZ), which highlights out-of-context sentences from (in most cases) legitimate scientific studies that the author of the blog incorrectly thinks dispute the tenets of anthropogenic global warming. The 400 studies in this latest piece cover topics wholly irrelevant to the question of anthropogenic global warming, including, for example, a study on the effect of wind turbines upon the viability of migratory bat populations." And also, I think there is shady stuff going on with the data: "numerous scientists listed in the report pointed out their their graphs had been digitally altered by NTZ to omit data, and that NTZ had either misinterpreted their papers or read them so superficially that the author of the post did not realize he was sometimes quoting from general background material and not the actual findings of the papers themselves." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/400-papers-published-in-2017-prove-that-global-warming-is-myth/ The list of dodgey practices and misrepresentation on that site is LENGTHY. So why should anyone take the site at face value and not just outright reject the falsehoods and lies from that site? Is that not the most sane thing to do when dealing with a serial liar that profits from those lies?
  7. SOrry... you quoted the evidence vs proof post of mine- I am not sure what this has to do with hamas.... or how facebook enforces their ToS. Maybe take up my suggestion for a free/hate speech thread- seems like an appropriate place for the above quoted post. Or feel free to shoot me a PM and we can discuss why facebook is not enforcing their ToS with hamas. If you want to continue with U.S. politics in this thread- I am all in!
  8. https://pediaa.com/difference-between-evidence-and-proof/
  9. No it's not- it is evidence.
  10. Hey- can you two take your twitter beef to PM, please. Or make a free speech thread to continue your discussion about free/hate speech? This is the U.S. politics thread, can we try and keep it on topic please?
  11. case in point, the recent banning in facebook and instagram: 4 of the 6 banned were loudmouthed white males, one Black man and a white woman.
  12. Wait, wiat, wait, a second... I thought "case closed"?
  13. Please show me where in this thread that someone called out hate speech just because they disagreed with a poster... I have not seen that all. I don't think anyone here has. And please just PM me the example and/or response. Just so we can continue on topic here. I tried to pm you but was unable to.
  14. Don't take the bait. Just let it play out or use ignore. I wish there was an ignore function for specific people for specific threads.
  15. There is always the ignore function. If these people are offending you, you should exercise your right to ignore them.
  16. When someone use a toothache simile for the N-word... it shouldn't be an even playing field... it shouldn't be a matter of "very fine people on both sides" Anyways... before this thread gets locked, let's all get back on track. Will the Dems impeach trump? Should they? How do you guys think the electorate is going to go if the begin impeachment?
  17. But holy ****... let's get back on track here. Wide Left is totaly right... just more deflection from real issues. Uhm... war with Iran anyone? Is it just me or is The USA pretty much has decided to go to war and is just trying to set the narrative before it "preemptively" Strikes Iran thus completing The bargain with UAE and Isreal?
  18. In an American politics thread? While everyone is talking about the 2016 American election... Hilary... trump... You quoting someone referencing the 2016 American Election... Yeah it makes sense that you were talking about the 2015 Canadian Election... Please forgive me for being so obtuse...
  19. I just can't like this post enough.... We need more vote buttons! Thanks for posting this.
  20. Funny... You are technically correct yet nobody refers to it as the 2015 election. Everyone refers to it as the 2016 election. I'll stick to 2016 so there is no confusion.
  21. I do want to mention that the scene with Tyrion and Jamie was awesome.
