Califan007 The Constipated

As many here have said before, we need to stop giving one single flying **** about what MAGA thinks lol...I honestly can't help but think it was edited to make this dude seem as ignorant as possible. Gotta be, right?

I watched some video (MSNBC, maybe?) where the news host said that when it comes to election schemes and Jan. 6th, state bar associations around the country might be the only ones so far holding people accountable for their actions.

There's no way this is real lol...

And yet another person suggested inserting a centerfold of Melania...

Youngkin:

Putting this here (no idea which thread anything I post should go in anymore lol):

Since this thread was on page 3, I'm gonna assume this wasn't posted yet lol... Maybe I should have put this in the GOP thread instead... EDIT: I put it in the GOP thread instead.

For the most part, the two go hand in hand, though... If we want politicians to stop looking solely at economic indicators and instead look at families' bank accounts and kitchen tables, then we also need families to stop looking only at their bank accounts and start paying attention to national economic indicators. Voters insist on the first, and laugh off the second. It should be possible to say both that I'm struggling financially but the country's economy is not. But that can feel like being in the middle of a lake drowning, and hearing someone say "Very few people ever drown in this lake, it's one of the safest lakes in the country"...

Which previous DA are you referring to and which charges were dropped?

No it didn't. New York pauses the statute of limitations when a defendant is out of the state for the majority of the time covered by the statute of limitations. That way criminals don't get to just cross state lines (or leave the country) for several years and escape prosecution.

Harvard Should Break up With the Harris Poll Harvard is lending its name to a methodologically flawed poll that often promotes a right-wing political agenda. https://www.thecrimson.com/column/forging-harvards-future/article/2024/3/26/bodnick-/ Every month, the Harvard-Harris Poll administers a public opinion survey that tracks Americans’ attitudes on a wide range of political and social issues. [...]To see this ideological slant, let’s take a look at a question in last month’s poll about (the) bipartisan immigration bill. In the prompt, the poll regurgitated Republican talking points, citing the number of migrants that would enter the country each day — a claim that is highly misleading — and stating that Trump has opposed the bill “to give the Biden administration any wins on an issue that he says they failed to do anything about.” The question failed to specify a single positive consequence of the bill. Naturally, as a result of this skewed framing, the results showed that a majority supported Trump’s position of blocking the bill from passing. [...]In addition to ideologically slanted wording, the poll frequently lacks a “don’t know” option. “That’s going to force respondents with different views to pick a side at random," criticized Will Jordan, a Democratic pollster. “But the numbers get shared as if they’re real attitudes.” [...]the Harvard-Harris poll sometimes sequences questions in ways that can confuse respondents. For instance, the Dec. poll also found that 67 percent of young adults agree that “Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors” — an eye-popping result. This finding aligned with a narrative pushed by many conservatives: that leftists and young people are deeply antisemitic. But that question was placed immediately after multiple questions about affirmative action and could have been easily misunderstood as a question about the way that Jews should be treated under an affirmative action system. The Harvard-Harris poll misleads Americans with its flawed methodology and right-wing political agenda, but it’s unfortunately widely cited by mainstream media in potentially misleading ways. For example, the finding that young adults believe Jews are oppressors was cited all over the news. ****************** For the record, the "Jews should be treated as oppressors" poll question the article mentions went something like this: - In Affirmative Action, certain segments of society have historically been oppressed - In Affirmative Action, the white majority has been considered oppressors - In society, oppressors tend to get all the breaks and benefits that the oppressed do not - (Follow-up poll question): Do you think Jews should be considered oppressors or be considered as being oppressed? News headlines: Poll Finds Young Americans Think Israel are the Oppressors in the Israel-Hamas War

Hell, even Conor Mcgregor told Dalton "There's something wrong with you" lol...it didn't really occur to me how on-the-nose that comment was until I read your post.

I think you meant to ask that of Bang lol... "I just noticed the 'arrest watch' thread is over a year old." -Bang I was only commenting on why the thread was started...and it was started because Trump said on Truth Social that he was mere days from being arrested, and the thread starter knew there could be a ton of posts about it spread over several different threads.

Not sure about what: if it was Trump floating the rumor that he was about to be arrested back then? Or not sure if we shouldn't have believed him?

I go with doing an artistic rendering...taking a photo could still leave you with time to save him lol...

And Trump was the one back then spreading the rumor that he was about to be arrested lol...we should have known it was a lie.

To me, understanding someone does not require amplifying their beliefs, giving them equal time, or giving their rhetoric legitimacy. You can understand someone without ever meeting them or talking to them. Someone walks into a bank with a ski mask on and a gun tucked into the waistband of their pants, trust me, we understand them completely lol...I don't think saying "Maybe it's cold outside, or maybe he just has a skin condition and that's why he's wearing the ski mask" is necessary at that point. We understand completely why that person with the ski mask and the gun just walked into the bank. This is why so many are angry at MSNBC--because we already understand and know the MAGA side and perspective all too well. And I think the more people that fully and completely understand who MAGA is and what it's about, the better. But understanding them does not require mainstream media outlet giving a paid position to one of MAGA's most vile propagandist who is devoted to spreading lies and misinformation, and who could realistically end up trying to gaslight your viewing audience.

Honest answer: What you just said, is you understanding them. So my follow-up question is this: why do you think it might be important for everyone to understand this about them?

That's not due to Trump, that's due to crappy plastic surgery, a vain woman trying to hold onto her youth and failing, and our society's mistaken belief that women must remain ****able at all costs. I mean, Trump didn't help any, that's for sure lol...but there's quite a bit of time in between those two images. Now, the mental/emotional damage could be chalked up to Trump...per her aide awhile back: "Guilfoyle spoke incessantly and luridly about her sex life, and on one occasion demanded a massage of her bare thighs; other times, she said, Guilfoyle told her to submit to a Fox employee’s demands for sexual favors, encouraged her to sleep with wealthy and powerful men, asked her to critique her naked body, demanded that she share a room with her on business trips, required her to sleep over at her apartment, and exposed herself to her, making her feel deeply uncomfortable."

Actually I disagree...we need to understand the other side. And by and large, we do understand them completely, and all too well.

I never have. Ever. I never have, ever. I never have. Ever.

I'm disappointed but not outraged or thinking he's getting special treatment: 1) I literally have no idea if reducing bonds and giving brief extensions is normal or not, so I have no clue whether or not this should be seen as Trump getting special treatment 2) I have no idea how they came up with a reduced figure of $175 Million, but doubting it's arbitrary 3) I have no idea if this is a figure Trump can come up with easily within 10 days But, dammit, I had my popcorn ready lol...

Completely agree with the part in bold. The movie starts with the ridiculous premise that bouncers are famous... ...and ends with a climatic fight scene featuring: - a car exploding in mid-air - a stuffed polar bear - someone throwing a spear, and; - this visual: I don't think the word "believable" should ever be used in connection to the original Road House lol...
