Antifa is a terrorist organization?

[Smit]

I expected a better argument for your case than that.

Decentralized education? Trump is bullying them into doing what he wants. More centralized it looks like.

Ditto law firms.

What new gun laws have been passed? Everybody who wants a gun already has one. Can we have bazookas now? 'MURRICA!

Using the military in American cities? Check.

Brown people out, white south Africans are ok though. Poor guys.

Trumps covid policies? Alright.

Authoritarian power? Congress has laid down to give him what he wants. Good job boys and girls. Ditto to the Supreme Court.

Emergencies everywhere so he has more power? Sure why not?

Trying to seize control of independant government agencies? Check again.

Silencing critics? See ya Colbert and Kimmel. :wave:

THEY'RE EATING THE CATS AND DOGS!

I threw that in just for fun.

He doesn't check ALL the boxes but quite a few.

Why can't Republicans look at the overall evidence?

Is that better.

[Smit]

These threads are such a waste of time. No one is going to change their mind about anything based on any information received here.

That's something I think we can all agree on.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We've got another winner today....

Special attention drawn to your use of the word "received" above....lots of "transmission", not much "reception." We're mostly talking "at" each other these days (and not just here on this forum)!

You better watch it @Smit or this is going to go down on your permanent record! Off to the gulag with you and your ilk! Alcatraz! We don't need alligators-we've got the San Francisco Bay...colder than a witches tit!

Gator Gitmo has more panache though.

[Smit]

No worries, I saw the movie so I know how to get out.

[beej]

you mean this:
As of September 2025, the Donald Trump administration has been widely accused of "bullying" universities by threatening and cutting federal funding to influence policy on issues like antisemitism, free speech, and diversity. from chatGPT yeah, that is some kind of fascist trying to stomp out the anti-semitism and promote free speech.

What new gun laws have been passed? Everybody who wants a gun already has one. Can we have bazookas now? 'MURRICA!

We don't need new gun laws, we need the laws that we have enforced. and the 2nd ammendment defended. He has done both of those through law enforcement and selecting judges who would uphold the constitution

Using the military in American cities? Check.

I'll just give you this one because to defend it would take more typing than I care too. take the win.

Brown people out, white south Africans are ok though. Poor guys.

no idea what you are talking about here.

Authoritarian power?

I agree with this. both parties have been doing it, but I'm especially aggravated at the republican congress for not doing better.

Emergencies everywhere so he has more power? Sure why not?

yes, well, climate emergencies have seem to be on the top of the list as well. this is a draw

Trying to seize control of independant government agencies? Check again.

If he's doing that to reduce the size of them, that ain't fascist

Silencing critics? See ya Colbert and Kimmel. :wave:

did you type that with a straight face? have we already forgotten how the FBI put their thumb on twitter to stop the NY Post? How twitter kicked off the sitting president of the US? How youtube and google was caught restricting conservative content? you lost Jimmy Kimmel, oh wow! look him on youtube, he'll still be there.

[Smit]

How about the dogs and cats?

Gotcha there. 

I win.

@Zoffen to your point. 

[Zoffen]

Just two groups of people now.

Those who want to kill you for your ideas.

And those who don't want to kill you for your ideas.

Seems pretty simple to me. Which side are you on?

[Smit]

It looks that way on social media sometimes but I don't believe that.

If you check the in real world thread you'll find nobody has been abused for real. It's all social media.

Hopefully that will never bleed in to the real world.

[Zoffen]

If you check the in real world thread you'll find nobody has been abused for real.

Except for the guy who just got assassinated...

[Zoffen]

Hopefully that will never bleed in to the real world.

This right here is what peak delusion looks like....

...or AI ("another Indian")....

Back to wall staring...
