Glory to the martyrs
It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.
I frankly couldn’t care less about what order they show up in.
Fair enough, but my point wasn’t that I was shocked how he voted.
Well if he wasn’t pardoned he wouldn’t be voting at all.
Trump legitimately pardoned Cuellar because it means an extra vote for the GOP 🤣
And I don’t disagree with anything you or even Akiva was necessarily saying or pointing out, but let’s not pedantry prance our way around it. He used the fallacy.
From the interaction I shared, it was an attempt to color a long history of empirical events and actions taken by America as “un American” specifically because no American would go against the creed that was, funnily enough, a contradiction the moment it was written on parchment.
I shared the interaction of exactly that…
So you do get it
If you say “Those things are un American because they’re antithetical to real America” as a response to “These things have happened repeatedly throughout the history of America,” then it is absolutely a use of the fallacy.
What would you call it if you said “Those things were un-American because they’re antithetical to the real America”?
“Each of those things were also un-American. Not because they weren’t done by Americans, and by America, but because they were always contradictory to what America creed-ally appeared to be.”
They’re telling you these things are American and your response is textbook use of the fallacy.
How many times do these things need to happen before people realize it’s baked-in?
You’ve used “no true Scotsman” multiple times here.
Maybe it’s you who is blind to the history of empirical events lol
If Schumer hasn’t changed his tune about funding being off the table, then this is useless chest thumping from Jeffries.
How many times do people need to fall for Jeffries’ messaging correctly for house votes to then get undermined by Schumer before realizing this is all theater?
Car horns are designed to warn others of an imminent danger.
Car alarms are designed to draw attention to potential criminal activity.
Both are used to prevent unnecessary injury/damage.
Tactic: Approved
It’s honestly wild to me that some people can’t grasp how I both despise Tom Homan now and also despised him when he reported to Obama.
LFG
Some really mixed signals from the white house
I mean this is just stunning:
you don’t hold these people in enough contempt, imo
liberals need to think long and hard about what these guys consider communism before they start thinking they're safe
If people want to understand what best conveys the aura of the Atlanta Falcons - it’s not the 28-3 Super Bowl.
It’s that the final game of the season against your biggest rival decides the division, yet neither of you can win it.
Quote from Owned by Eoin Higgins: Ultimately, Owned is a meditation on the question of power. People like Greenwald, Taibbi, Musk, Thiel, and Andreessen announce, over and over again, that they believe in “free speech.” But that has always been a smoke screen. Whether journalists like Greenwald and Taibbi genuinely believe in open discourse isn’t the point. They’ve partnered with those who only want certain kinds of speech and any critique disappeared, whether that’s shutting down accounts or crushing hostile media outlets. They’ve chosen personal preservation over cause.
I can’t stop laughing at the fact that just the action of Matt Taibbi bringing a defamation suit against Higgins for this book is validating Higgin’s thesis
Everyone tells me they hate Lisa Barlow and halfway through season three it just seems like she’s constantly being bullied by these ladies.
One would absolutely think that…but she also said some wild shit.
I didn’t realize she was an “all lives matter,” gal
