Man, MiddleWay knocked it out of the park again with his response, so I will just add the following: I wouldn't put much credence in the manifesto of a raving paranoid domestic terrorist.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 30, 2020:

@Admin I will not budge from my opinion (even though it is more of a fact) that ANTIFA is an idea - as Biden said - not an organized group. If you want to label individuals who have caused harm & destruction as domestic terrorists, then go ahead. But there is no ANTIFA organization, unlike say Proud Boys or BLM. The attempt to label a concept like ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist group is an attempt to throw the "ANTIFA" label on any left-leaning protest against oppressive authority, allowing said oppressive authority to detain actually peaceful protesters without cause and strip away civil rights.

Satanists seen very enthusiastic about the left's activities. That's probably more of an indication of the left's motivations than many people are willing to accept. Personally, I'm ready to consider evil as a noun rather than an adjective these days.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 30, 2020:

@Triumph and to spell it out, as I said before, we don't care what you think or how you perceive us - that doesn't change the facts of who we are, why we are, and what we believe. All that is important is equal application of the law under a pluralistic society and personal freedom. I find many Christians to be phonies who like to cherry pick passages to judge other people and feel self-important, while ignoring anything that mildly inconveniences them - they are extremely un-Christ-like, and Christians in name only. I think many Christians only cling to their religion as an excuse to discriminate against people, much like Paul here. They might even be secret atheists, but are pretending to be Christian to fit in and exploit people and gain power ( *cough*Trump*cough* ). Yet I doubt you really care about my opinion of most Christians.

@Josf-Kelley I didn't restate or reinterpret anything you said. You accused Joe Biden of being a pedophile multiple times. You even accused people supporting Biden of supporting pedophilia. **"There were no children nearby to molest, but my guess is that those 'for Biden' are also for allowing pedos to have ready access to molest children."** I then provided evidence that Trump was a pedophile, while also agreeing Biden doesn't look innocent. My thesis was that Trump supporters are ignoring the credible pedophile claims against Trump while accusing Biden of pedophilia. This is much like Trump supporters saying that Biden can't be president because he once stabbed someone, while being actively stabbed by Trump. You agreed with this premise. You then continued to refer to Biden as "Pedo" but did not do so with Trump. I asked why, and you responded with a bunch of legalese. Those are the facts. Interpret them however you wish.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 30, 2020:

@Triumph ok... so Christians just get to dictate what we believe? We need to change our religious views because some other religion is a bunch of pearl-clutching snowflakes? "Satan" existed long before Christianity, we don't model our religion based on Christianity. But if we are going down that route... what about Christianity choosing Jesus as the symbol of their religion? Judaism says that Jesus was *not* the Messiah, he was a false prophet with no divinity. The very First Commandment is about "no other gods" and prohibits idolatry. By worshipping Jesus, Christians broke the very first Commandment. The Christians rejected the clear-as-day writing of the Old Testament about a vengeful and jealous God, and threw in nonsense about forgiveness from sin and "Jesus is Lord". So essentially, Christianity is nothing more than choosing a controversial figure of Judaism and using it as a symbol of religion. Why are Christians attacking Jews in this way? Why can't Christians choose a different name or a different symbol, one that isn't offensive to Jews? Hey, let's take it a step further - if Satan is the father of lies and tries to turn people away from God with the most devious tricks imaginable, what's to say that Jesus wasn't an agent of Satan used to try and turn people away from Judaism and commit the ultimate sin of idolatry? So why are Christians obeying Satan? So there's that. Or maybe you don't get to define how a different religion defines itself, and you can actually listen to the members of said religion for what they believe rather than forcing your views on them?

@Triumph "I just think there's something wrong with a Satanists thought processes." Sure sounds like religious bigotry. Would you be okay with someone saying "I just think there's something wrong with a Christians thought processes" as a point in debate? Perhaps it is because you are going off of lies, what religious bigots tell you about Satanism and not what Satanists actually believe? Satanists do not "worship an entity that historically is the embodiment of evil". Satanism is non-theistic. There is no belief in gods or any supernaturalism. The use of Satan is merely symbolic, going back to the original Hebrew translation of "adversary" and embracing the Romantic interpretation of authors like Milton, characterizing Satan as the ultimate freedom fighter against arbitrary oppressive authority. No mental gymnastics required, Satanism is merely altruism and individual freedom. I give no credence to crackpot theories of "the left" or Democrats embracing "evil spirits" or harvesting adrenochrome or engaging in Satanic Ritual Abuse in a pizza restaurant basement. Look up the Satanic Panic of the 80's ( or look at my Slug article on the matter https://slug.com/article/126147/q-anon-the-new-satanic-panic ) and see how this is no different.

@Andyman I am not a socialist, so there's your first error. Well there was a case in 1973 where Trump and his father were sued by the Justice Department for discriminating against black people in renting apartments. There is the time he called Nazis marching in Charlottesville "very fine people" (yes he did, no amount of mental gymnastics can change that). There was the time when he was endorsed by David Duke, and rather than rejecting the endorsement and condemning Duke, Trump just ignored it and said he didn't know who Duke was - he verifiably did, having spoken about him at length before. There is his slam-dunk opportunity to denounce white supremacy on the global stage last night, and he avoided the question and then told a specific organization of Nazis to "stand by" before then telling his supporters to go to polls and watch people. There is his "Muslim ban", the need to cross out "COVID-19" on public speeches to write in "China virus", his constant racist dog-whistles, his attacks on black football players, telling a group of Jews they must love to haggle, his weird comments about "protecting white moms in suburbs", his need to "review the case" before speaking out on a white terrorist attack but no hesitation to go on a rant when a case comes out with a black or Muslim aggressor...

@Triumph yes, I wanted Bernie over Biden, which is why I registered for the primary. Where I live, they have closed primaries, so I had no choice. I was unaffiliated prior to this January. I would have voted for a decent Republican over Hillary in 2016, but we were stuck with Trump. What is your point here? You accused me of sticking with the Democratic party after they "pushed aside a candidate who could have won..." and I am telling you I only just registered as Dem (which is on paper only) to vote for that candidate they pushed aside. Now you are deflecting and changing the subject. What about you? Are you a Republican? Are you sticking with the Republican party after they threw out any shred of dignity to unabashedly back a mentally-unstable narcissistic white supremacist con-man? One of my best friends is a life-long Republican - worked for several local Rep campaigns and is a member of local Republican groups. He also switched his party to Dem this year to vote in the primary, as he is embarrassed by what Trump has turned the Republican party into. Also, not sure what your religious bigotry against me has to do with anything? Care to elaborate?

I have no allegiance to either party. My vote is against Trump, and as we have a broken two party electoral college stranglehold system, the only true anti-Trump vote is for Biden.

@Josf-Kelley I agree that Biden has been accused of inappropriate behavior, and some pictures / video are creepy and inappropriate. It's not a great look, and Biden was certainly not my ideal candidate. Trump is also credibly accused of multiple occurrences of sexual misconduct, and there is a lot of footage of him bragging about this and acting inappropriately as well. They could certainly both be pedophiles. Calling attention to this is surely within the realm of relevant questions for electing someone to the highest office of the land, however it is mind-boggling how Trump sycophants will cling to this "Pedo Joe" narrative while completely ignoring the issues with their own candidate. It's like having John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer debate, and the Gacy supporters are trying to use "Dahmer is a murderer" as a debate tactic to elect Gacy. Now, I am not calling you a Trump sycophant, but it is odd that your primary rebuttal to my debate analysis was "pedo pedo pedo" as a deflection to anything of substance.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 30, 2020:

@SpikeTalon, I agree with you on everything except Antifa. I am on the side of Biden that Antifa is just an idea, not an actual organization. Of course there are people who are violent and borderline-fascist who identify as Antifa, and there are people who will organize an "Antifa Rally" on Facebook or something, but still it is just an ideology, not an organization. You cannot compare it to groups like the Proud Boys or even BLM, which have official organizations. My opinion is that the attempt to label Antifa as an organization, and then trying to identify it as a domestic terrorist group, is an attempt to throw the "Antifa" label on any left-leaning protest against oppressive authority, resulting in massive arrests and the destruction of civil rights. I am willing to accept that we may never come to an agreement on this. @Josf-Kelley wow, that is a lot to unpack... Let's start with your pedophilia claim. You really don't want to open this can of worms. If you want to attack Biden, you should probably stick with areas where Trump is not just as guilty or even more so. ** Trump in regards to Miss Teen USA: ** "Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis," Ms Dixon told CBS. "He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked." She added that people who worked for Mr Trump "pressured" the women to "fawn over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention" while still not fully dressed. Ms Dixon added the situation made them feel awkward and physically vulnerable. Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant also said the Republican used to walk in. Some of the girls were as young as 15. "Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it," Trump said during the interview. "You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that," - *Donald Trump* ** Trump on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell: ** "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy," Mr. Trump told New York magazine in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." "I don’t know – I haven't really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly," Trump responded.

@Triumph no, Wallace repeatedly told Trump he would have an opportunity to answer in his alloted time, even telling Trump he could say whatever he wanted and not even answer the question if he so chose. Wallace only shut down Trump when he was trying to speak during Biden's time, constantly interrupting and talking over him, or when Trump specifically asked a question but refused to let Biden answer. On multiple occasions Wallace stopped the conversation and didn't let Trump or Biden respond, and moved on to the next topic. The next debate, the moderators need to have the power to shut off their mics. Or stick shock collars on them or something. Anything to make the debates less chaotic.

@2FollowHim atheism means without theism. It means no belief in gods. It has nothing to do with evolution. As for "liberaltears" - the Conservapedia page showed that the last edit was by a user named "liberaltears" which doesn't sound like the most impartial thing.

Question... What do you all think about this ad from GA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene?

JacksonNought comments on Sep 27, 2020:

I wouldn't say there is a direct call for violence, though it's perhaps problematic to be holding a gun as a prop while calling to defeat Democrats. At least her ad isn't peddling Q nonsense.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 28, 2020:

@FEWI uh... I honesty don't even know what you are anymore. You attack an American born woman, saying she should go back to her "mother country" and is clearly not representing America, all because she criticized the President and used one swear word. Then you use different criteria to call Trump classy, even though he curses way more. Seems like racism / misogyny, yet you then say Omar has class? Or at least more? I honestly don't get you. You seem like a bi-polar racist.

@FEWI you are correct, I had her confused with Omar. Which brings even more confusion, since we are talking about Tlaib, and you basically told her to go back to her "mother country."

@FEWI yeah yeah, I know you will conflate this with typical "liberal" tactics and all... But dude, you are a racist. Why is it you choose to single out a Middle-Eastern woman when complaining about people being mean to the President, tell her to go back to her country and claiming her "disrespect" is an attempt to represent Palestine? She is an American, and a pretty great one at that. She is trying to uphold the "high regard" of the presidential office, one which used to stand for law and order and has been defiled with corruption and nepotism and treason. Of course you then say Trump has class. Trump, who brags about walking in on naked 15 year-olds, and falls in love with violent dictators, and feels the need to insult everybody who doesn't worship him, and calls Nazis "very fine people", and encourages his supporters to commit violence against his enemies... yeah he is such a classy guy, way more than Tlaib.

Should people call themselves "trans women" while presenting completely male / as a man?

JacksonNought replies on Sep 28, 2020:

@ThomasinaPaine you seem to be the one assuming that they are just activists, and not actually identifying as trans women. Once more, where is the harm in having their own reality on a dating app. This is the conversation at hand, the one Arielle is presenting while violating the privacy of these two individuals. And as I said before, by presenting as masculine they are 99% most likely to not try and go into women's spaces. Trans people aren't trying to get special privileges, they are trying to not get fired, kicked out of their homes, or murdered because of who they are. That is a myth that yes, the Christian right perpetuates, trying to make it seem as if big burly men with beards are trying to go watch your wife or daughter pee. Would you want Buck Angel to go into the girls bathroom since he has a vagina? Should Blaire White go into the men's room because she has a penis (she actually was kicked out of a restaurant once for going in the men's room to test this)? We've actually seen cases where "protectors" have assaulted biological women trying to go into female bathrooms because they didn't think they looked "feminine" enough, and accused them of being trans. If you don't think there are people who still have the whole "women must submit to men" and "barefoot / pregnant" worldview, you aren't paying attention. And of course you just skip over the question entirely. You also seem to want to label your "opinion" as fact, while everything else is mere opinion. There is actually a lot of factual scientific data stating that 1 - there are more than two sexes based on chromosome variations, and 2 - gender is a social construct which is fluid and separate from biological sex. This is just fact. You don't get to force your reality on someone else just because your opinion is different. I am not sure why you feel the need to make a bigoted religious attack against me. To equate my religion as just being an edgy Manson kid is just ignorant and offensive. Also, you think Satanists won? Is that why the President and his administration is supporting conspiracy theories about Democrats worshipping Satan and eating children? Is that why the Satanic Panic is still going on today, and people are still in jail from the 80's and 90's after being falsely accused of Satanic Ritual Abuse? If anyone is still winning, it is Conservative Christian theocrats. I also have no idea why you brought up Afghanistan? Are you saying we should be following their example?

@FEWI ok, if you have a problem with the vulgarity, then you should be 100x more critical of Trump's choice of words.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 27, 2020:

@Andyman I don't really consider myself a LaVeyan Satanist, as my values don't all line up with the Church of Satan. I am aligned with The Satanic Temple. As a previously stated, my version of Satanism is non-theistic, and doesn't believe in any supernaturalism. Based on that, I do not believe in witchcraft or sorcery. I enjoy them from an aesthetic viewpoint, and can appreciate the theatrics, but have no belief that they actually do anything - same way I feel about prayer.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 27, 2020:

@tracycoyle your thoughts are interesting, as Satanism is very much about the individual being sovereign. I also find your comparison of Islam vs Christian/Judaism interesting, as I see all three expousing extremely misogynistic, anti-gay, and anti-individual liberty edicts. As I previously said, reports of Barrett's congregation saying that they practice having women as second-class citizens, which again could be concerning if her husband is able to make decisions on important rulings. I am much more concerned about someone looking to religious dogma to make a decision on law versus secular rationality - as the dissenters on marriage equality seemed to do.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 27, 2020:

@tracycoyle @Andyman Satanism is a non-theistic religion. It doesn't actually believe in a literal Satan, nor any deities or supernaturalism. Satanists champion freedom and science, and would therefore be most likely to follow the law and rule impartially, compared to someone who may appeal to a higher power when ruling. Forcing a religious test for SCOTUS spits in the face of the Constitution. We have to hope that all justices can be impartial and follow the law and precedent, rather than following what their religion dictates. If a justice fails to set aside their faith, it can be disastrous. You may think it's good if they are Christan as a fallback, but that could hurt impartially when it comes to the freedom of others, such as in marriage equality issues. Don't Catholics pledge allegiance to the Pope, a foreign national? Would a devout Catholic justice be corrupted by allowing the Pope to weigh in on crucial decisions? According to reports, the religious group Barrett belongs to dictates that her husband is in charge and can make decisions for her - should we be concerned that confirming her is basically the same as confirming her husband, and allowing him to make rulings? If you think these are unfair characterizations or questions that shouldn't be asked of a justice, then there is absolutely no reason you should have a problem with a Muslim or Satanist being a Supreme Court justice either.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 26, 2020:

@tracycoyle so you think someone's faith can get in the way of ruling fairly, which you seem okay with, you just prefer it to be a faith you like? That actually seems antithetical to American Constitutional principles, as it flies in the face of the first Amendment to have a religious test. Often times Satanism is a lot more altruistic than the Abrahamic religions, so I think a Satanist or an atheist judge would be the most fair.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 25, 2020:

@ThomasinaPaine to the individuals in the pictures, their reality is that they are trans women. They aren't forcing people to accept their reality by posting their identity on a dating app. You don't know their personal lives, and as I said before, by presenting as masculine they most likely aren't trying to go into women's bathrooms or domestic violence shelters, so you don't know if they are trying to "force their reality" on people in daily life. If you don't want to be a part of their reality, you do not have to date them - and I am sure they would be happy for you to ignore them and move on. If someone was interested in them, and accepted their reality, they would be happy together and hurt no one. So there is literally no harm in posting their identity on a dating app. Arielle is the one in violation here, posting personal profiles of people for her audience to comment on / potentially ridicule. I am not sure what app that is, but they might have TOS that say you cannot publicly share people's profiles. On another point, how far can we push this reality thing? Some people's reality is that women should be barefoot and pregnant at home, and shouldn't vote or have careers. What if you have a job, and a man with that "reality" becomes your new boss - due to their reality, they fire you. Should we remove the EEOA because your are forcing your reality on him by working? Where do we start to draw the line?

The Death Of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Pushed Me To Join The Satanic Temple

camerakid61 comments on Sep 24, 2020:

Okaaaaay... I'm failing to see the connection. Help me out here!

JacksonNought replies on Sep 25, 2020:

Yeah, the article is a little odd, but it is nice to get more TST exposure. Basically what I think it boils down to is, with the death of RBG and the Republican hypocrisy in rushing through a replacement, it seems like Roe v Wade is at risk more than ever. Based on this fear, it pushed the author to finally decide to join The Satanic Temple, as they are leading the fighting for abortion rights against potential theocracy. The Satanic Temple is specifically fighting against arbitrary abortion restrictions, leveraging the *Burwell v. Hobby Lobby* decision. In *Burwell v. Hobby Lobby* the Supreme Court decided that based on the RFRA, closely held religious beliefs granted an exemption from following certain laws - Hobby Lobby didn't have to follow the Birth Control mandate of the ACA because it went against their religious beliefs. Based on this, The Satanic Temple avows that their deeply held religious beliefs allow for abortion - which is currently legal in the USA. However, some states put arbitrary restrictions on abortion, such as in Missouri where TST is currently suing for religious freedom rights. In Missouri, a woman seeking an abortion must wait 3 days after her request before she can undergo the procedure. She also must subject herself to mandatory in-person counseling, where she is given religious propaganda about abortion, as well as a state-mandated pelvic exam including an ultrasound, all in an attempt to persuade her to reconsider. Imagine making the difficult decision to abort, or even being forced to (my friend miscarried after 2 months and had to go through two separate abortions to remove the fetus because her body didn't do it for her) and then having to travel maybe 100 miles away because of a lack of clinics (due to other restrictions), being proselytized to, and then being forced to come back in 3 days. The Satanic Temple has made the case the Missouri restrictions present undue burdens on their religion, ones which the state has no compelling case for imposing, and therefore should be exempt. Their first case was dismissed because the plaintiff was no longer pregnant, and they are currently appealing a second case, which may go to the Supreme Court. Based on this, the author feels like joining The Satanic Temple is necessary to support religious freedom and bodily autonomy rights. That is why she wrote the article.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 24, 2020:

The problem of using sex reassignment surgery as a qualifier is that it can be classist. Not everyone who is trans can afford HRT or surgery. Does that mean Caitlyn Jenner gets to identify how she wants because she is a multi-multi-millionaire, but a trans woman who can barely afford to pay rent must live a lie? If we strictly base it on genitals, does that mean Buck Angel is still a woman, and should go into women's bathrooms and be allowed in rape shelters? Does that mean Blaire White is still a man, and should go into men's bathrooms?

JacksonNought replies on Sep 24, 2020:

Just speaking anecdotally, but any trans people I have accidentally mis-gendered, who presented as a gender they didn't identify, have been super cool about it. As long as you aren't being malicious and intentionally mis-gendering them, they are accepting that you may not have known or it is an honest slip up. MiddleWay already brought this up, but you can be a woman, born a woman, identify a woman, even be heterosexual, yet still have a stereotypically masculine appearance. As I already said in this thread, I've know women with facial hair. So of course you could make a mistake and refer to them as a man, and you would also be incorrect. Honest mistakes are natural, and when given the correct information, you can make an effort to be respectful. That is my take.

@Rick-A "Your hooligans are advocating defund and eliminate" um... first of all you once more prove you know nothing about me. Second, you and the meme-maker keep telling people they want to "eliminate" - which is a false narrative. You may have fringe individuals calling for elimination, but you have fringe individuals on "your side" who come right out and say bluntly they want to kill everyone who disagrees with them. So you can't claim one is representative without the other. And why don't you actually do the legwork and look up what defund actually means, from the groups who are promoting it? Here is a right-wing source for you: https://www.foxnews.com/us/what-would-it-look-like-to-defund-or-dismantle-the-police [poem] "Defunding the police force is usually intended to take part of the budget and apply it to other social services that could possibly be handled better than by a police department," said John DeCarlo, a retired chief of police and associate professor and director of the master's program in criminal justice at the University of New Haven. "[For instance,] responses to mental illness and other specialized needs of the community that are handled by police departments simply because the police departments are the last agencies in a line when there is no one else to respond." California prosecutor Wendy Patrick said not all "defund" calls are aimed at starving or replacing police forces. Some advocates simply seek to reexamine the way police departments allocate resources. "Communities are also calling for a reexamination of whether their police officers are performing functions that would be more appropriately delegated to other types of professionals, such as mental health experts, or school or job counselors, for example," Patrick said. "They point out there are are many types of community disputes that are better solved without the presence of a uniformed officer with a gun." [/poem] Here is a link that is slightly left of center, but has a "very high" factual reporting rating: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/06/19/what-does-defund-the-police-mean-and-does-it-have-merit/ [poem] “Defund the police” means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality. That’s it. It’s that simple. Defund does not mean abolish policing. And, even some who say abolish, do not necessarily mean to do away with law enforcement altogether. Rather, they want to see the rotten trees of policing chopped down and fresh roots replanted anew. Camden, New Jersey, is a good example. Nearly a decade ago, Camden disbanded (abolished) its police force and dissolved the local police union. This approach seems to be what Minneapolis will do in some form, though ...

JacksonNought replies on Sep 23, 2020:

@Rick-A You say "start by learning to read objectively" yet you keep mischaracterizing the concept of "defund the police." You also keep blaming "leftist hooligans" as if no right-wing groups have been responsible for violence. But back to your weak analysis. So cops protect the "hooligans" from the "victims"? Is that your thought? Is that why Rittenhouse just casually strolled past the cops after shooting 3 people? Typical the cops protect the victims, not the aggressors. So even if we "eliminated" the police, which is not even close to what "defund" means, the protection of criminals would not change. And even with cop protection, often time self defense of your lives and property is justified and won't lead to arrest. So, with all of that, the only possible conclusion to the idea of "without cops you aren't protected from me" is that it means he intends to be the aggressor and attack people. I welcome your counter analysis.

Right-Wing Pastor Says His Prayers Killed Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Machiavelliwar comments on Sep 23, 2020:

"Right wing Pastor".....do they know he is "right wing", because he is a Pastor? Is Praying for Death of RBG? Is Praying a "Right wing" thing to do, so this can be a certain characterization? What exactly makes you know, who is "Right wing"? Some one who did not like RBG, or her Judicial Opinions?...

JacksonNought replies on Sep 23, 2020:

He is a ardent Trump supporter, doesn't that usually mean right-wing? He has strong Conservative leanings, that is usually right-wing.

Where does he say that he wants to murder people? I Have needed the police on many occasions, however never for murder. Maybe a bit less putting up strawmen?

JacksonNought replies on Sep 23, 2020:

@Hanno I do not. Considering the police either stand idly and watch people like him beat up protesters (I have witnessed it first-hand) or the police are the ones actually beating up the protesters (also witnessed first-hand), I have no reason to believe he meant the police would protect protesters from people like him. Also considering he did not have a permit for conceal carry, and carelessly whipped his gun out in public and shot himself, I feel like it isn't a stretch to think he is a far-right gun nut who fantasizes about a civil war.

Anyone hear about this one yet?

I also found this: https://www.washingtonpost.com./opinions/2020/09/23/gops-own-star-witness-just-blew-up-trumps-huntergazi-smear/ ------ President Trump has spent over a year trying to “prove” that Joe Biden’s activities in Ukraine were corrupt. He and lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani schemed over this for many months, with Trump ultimately trying to strong-arm the Ukrainian president into announcing an investigation into those activities, which got Trump impeached even as the smears they manufactured crashed and burned. Now Trump has been counting on Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to validate these narratives, via an inquiry conducted by the Homeland Security committee, which Johnson chairs. The goal was to use the official sheen of a Senate probe — one also conducted with the Finance Committee — to manufacture the impression of wrongdoing on Biden’s part. But as befits this cast of bumblers and incompetents, the star witness in the GOP’s own investigation has actually further undermined those smears. Johnson has now released his long-awaited (by Trump, anyway) report on his investigation. One of its big revelations is supposed to be that George Kent, a top State Department official, testified that he “raised concerns” inside the Obama administration about appearances of conflicts of interest surrounding the business activities of the then-vice president’s son Hunter. But, while that itself is true, there’s a big problem here: Kent also gave the committee testimony that completely undermines the larger narrative that Trump and Republicans have tried to spin into political gold for over a year. The basic story they have long tried to tell goes like this. As vice president, Biden sought the ouster of a Ukrainian prosecutor to protect Burisma, an energy company that was paying Hunter Biden a lucrative salary to sit on its board, from investigation. Joe Biden also conditioned foreign aid on that prosecutor’s ouster. All this is supposed to show that Biden corrupted Obama administration foreign policy on his son’s behalf. But this “Hunterghazi” tale has been widely debunked. In reality, Burisma was not even being investigated at the time, and the vice president was working to oust that Ukrainian prosecutor because the prosecutor himself was corrupt. That was the actual Obama administration policy, and this goal was backed by international institutions precisely because they had a stake in a corruption-free Ukraine. GOP senators were briefed by Obama officials about this policy at the time, including about the conditioning of foreign aid, and had no objections to it. Kent himself — that would be the Republicans’ own star witness — has now confirmed much of this, in testimony to the committee as part of the GOP’s own...

@Rick-A I am supposed to give credence to his ignorance as to what "defund the police means"? I am supposed to consider his false narrative of "BLM & ANTIFA" trying to "eliminate" police? Yet you seem to completely skip over the fact that he wants to go around murdering people he disagrees with, the police are the only thing in his way. Perhaps because you have fantasies of the same? Seems like it is people on his side who really want to "eliminate the police" so they can act out their vigilante wet dreams.

JacksonNought replies on Sep 23, 2020:

@Hanno the point of the meme is to poke at Obama regarding Trump's constant attacks on his presidency, including his creation of "Birtherism". It isn't trying to make a point that Obama would be up for SCOTUS if he provided those items, it is an attack on Obama to call him unqualified and to question his competency in ever holding office. - The Obama's don't have active law licenses, as they retired. - Birth certificates aren't required, although Obama did provide his. Trump called it fake and refused to accept it, and claimed he sent private investigators to Hawaii who were discovering "unbelievable things" and would have a full report soon. Of course he never came out with any report, and finally held a press conference to claim "Obama was born in the USA" to help his campaign efforts. - College records aren't required. Trump famously had his "fixer" Cohen sue his old school to not release the records, as Trump cannot have them go public and allow people to see the truth. - Medical records aren't required. Though of course Trump has released his records calling him "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency" which is laughable, especially compared to the extremely athletic Obama.

@Lightman I never said Biden is 100% all there. I have said many times before that he isn't fit to be president. But he still has 10x more mental fortitude than Donald "mini-strokes" Trump. I watched video of Biden on a bike ride, looking pretty healthy. Trump, who said you would never catch him on a bicycle, has trouble walking down a ramp. Biden has a known stutter, and yeah he makes a few gaffes. Trump... well...he of course is a stable genius with such "great words" as "were going to Nars" and "United Shaysh" and "Tim Apple" and "infantroopen" and "foistered" and "lawmarkers" and "bipartiss solucious" and "slock rocket" and "oranges of the investigation". The same guy who talked about remembering "7/11" - where he bragged that he then had the tallest building in NYC. The same guy who though there were airports during the revolutionary war, and that the "1917" flu ended WWII.
