The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

[Anti-Trump Truth Socialite JD Vance Enjoying Juror]

Guns aren't permitted in that mall so there was no good guy with a gun because he was violating the rules of the premises he was on (no, the second amendment doesn't apply to private property). He saved no lives and the "it could have been worse" argument is weak.

I’m as pro-gun control as any other random red av, but this is just embarrassing. The guy who stopped the mass shooter is obviously the “good guy” in this scenario, and the situation obviously would have been worse without him there.

The event with the single biggest role in the rise of Donald John Trump, in my view, is the release of The Lego Movie in 2014. I believe that the film exposed to a generation how heavily urban elites influence the country, in the form of the main antagonist Lord Business. It's no coincidence that more young people then voted for Trump than any Republican in recent years, in direct reaction to this depiction of corporatism.

Dems need to hammer her on this hard and characterize this as the entire Republican Party

Their whole argument before Roe was overturned was 'parents can put their kids up for adoption if they don't want them' and allow parents to have kids to may not otherwise be able to but now that it's overturned, look, you have them suddenly attacking these very same people who they claimed should have a right to have children

No conservative is denigrating adoptive parents. Plenty on the left are.

Literally posting in a thread where a Conservative is doing exactly that.

You people are loony.

great thing about this forum is someone will make an hackish thread title and then someone will just assume it must be an objective interpretation and call you "loony" for not buying into it and it'll be recommended by a bunch of half-wits.

Yeah, she was mocking transgender parents from what I understand -- that makes it so much better.

Someone is really butthurt though.

Are you admitting I'm not loony or are you just moving the goalposts?

See, from your stand-point transgender people and parents are lesser than, so I'm sure that makes sense.

From my viewpoint, as someone who believes all people have equal worth, trans parents = parents.

Ok I will interpret that as a move of the goalposts.  I haven't said anything about transgender parents being lesser than.  My basic opinion is that if the person who birthed and has been raising you started saying they are a man, that person is still your mother. Maybe you think that's transphobic, idk and idc. I'm not interested in debating it with you, just don't impute opinions to me I haven't stated.

MTG was clearly deriding non cis-gender adoptive parents in her statement, no? You went on to say that no Conservative would ever deride adoptive parents, even though she clearly was. That isn't moving the goalposts whatsoever except for someone who believes that people who aren't heteronormative have lesser value as parents.

I likewise don't have interest in "debating" this with you, you're the one who was butthurt and had to go cry in this thread. Lmao.

Polls were wrong again, they flubbed the MD Gov race predicting FRANCHOT to win the D Primary he is in third place 35/27/21 ha so much for polling and Biden low Approvals

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am so glad polling made error again epic fàil by polling showing FRANCHOT winning, they're not the end all be all, D's can actually win, not just holding the Blue wall but win big on EDay

If voters despised Biden so much, when I lived in Cali they were waiting in 100 degrees heat to reregistration to vote

Whom trust polling more, than anyone it's the Rs because of low Approvals and we still have to vote and Trump had the same Approvals and he gained seats 😃😃😃

You never see Hollywood or Marty around when Ds do well , you only hear from them when they find polls that have 36%, where is Matty now, nowhere to be found because  he can't find a 33% Approvals

I don't want to talk that much about S019 since becoming a OH avatar not a NJ he has calmed down but PA going red, c'mon

When he was that NJ avatar lol, but now he is okay

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am not saying we are the prohibited favs to win Red states but D's have a 1/3 chance of winning red states just like Rs have a 1/3 chance of winning blue states but lol Rs whom haven't won a Blue state since 2016 thinks they are the prohibited Fav, I think Ryan is the prohibited fav to win OH, but now I think even moreso now and with FL and Crist or Fried, DeSantis always underperform when it comes to EDay just like he did and almost lost to socialist GILLUM

DeSantis isn't winning by 10 pts FL is an R plus 3 state not a 10 state

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

BUT, BUT, BUT THE POLLS, THE POLLS STRIKE AGAIN😃😃😃

And what are you doing but crying in this thread and constantly trying to shift the argument in order to dominate it one way or another? 

I was responding to Hammy, who made no mention of talking specifically about "non cis-gender adoptive parents," when you replied to me originally.  Am I supposed to believe now that you thought Hammy was talking about that specific tiny group of adoptive parents?  Ok, whatever, sure.....

Ah, where the Dem obsession with "insurrection" comes back to bite them in the a$$.

Putting that in scare quotes is a sign that this country is terminally f—ked. Genuinely disturbing how readily people have forgotten or stopped caring that a very real insurrection/coup was attempted and came far too close to succeeding. Nothing else — not this, not BLM protests, nothing — is comparable. Not in this country’s history, anyway. It was completely unprecedented and it’s chilling how people are shrugging it off and mocking those rightfully concerned about it and the implications for the future of our democracy now.

No, Jan. 6 was not a "very real insurrection/coup". It was a grassroots unarmed protest fired on by police without warning. People have protested election results for years, you could even say it's an American tradition. The main difference is that this one actually inconvenienced our dear political elites for one afternoon, rather than the regular yokels like us who usually get inconvenienced by protests. Ashli Babbitt wasn't some Patrick Henry. She was just some psychologically disturbed political activist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Honestly I would be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little bit worried that Trump would try to pull something over in late 2020, but it never happened. Most slides into dictatorships or authoritarian governments happen because the would-be-dictator is actually popular. Trump in his first term never had that going for him. I do think America's slide into authoritarianism is a real danger, and even likely this century, but it will most likely happen under conditions where the President is a popular figure with elite backing.

Do users know the EC map is following the 2018 model we won OH, AZ Sen and won NV, KS Gov and FL was very close with Andrew Gillum and Tammy Baldwin won by 10 and Casey and Wolf won by 9/19 pts and IA Reynolds only won by three but Franken was competetive and Sununu lead was cut in half and he won by 7 and Sununu was leading 55/29 now it's 43/33, and Evers best Walker narrowly We won NC Congress races that's why Beasley and Crist may win,  that's how we are gonna win the TRIFECTA split races

As far as Biden Approvals is concerned it's HOGWASH, THERE ARE POLLING ERRORS AS I said before they fouled up the PA R Primary and MD D Primary FRANCHOT was supposed to be the runaway winner I am not talking about Rs that recognize it's a 303 map I am talking about Rs that think they're gonna win 54 S Seats and 245 H seats

The ceiling for Rs is 235 and floor is 217 Ceiling and Floor for D's I'm Senate is 51/55 seats😊😊😊

It's a 303 map and Ryan can end up being winner it's following the 2018, cycles,, Brown and Sinema won, and Ryan, Wes Moore, Newsom will be 2028 contenders for Prez, again there are polling flaws in Biden Approvals, FRANCHOT was supposed to be runaway winner, but R nut mapers say, BUT THE POLLS, YEAH THEY WERE FLAWED 😊😊😊

Abe was right-wing by Japanese standards, meaning he was roughly on par with AOC politically.

If Democrats were smart, they would draft a celebrity candidate like the GOP did in 2016. Just a hunch, but I think Kim Kardashian would be just the one, since her status as a self-made businesswoman and lawyer would really resonate with middle America.

So people like Bannon should be allowed to get away with breaking the law because it bores you?

They let the Stephen Colbert insurrectionists get away with breaking the law because it bored the Dems.

This post is bad (on multiple levels) and you should feel bad.

Lol. No. I feel fine personally. I do feel bad for the brainwashed hacks who still keep claiming some idiots in buffalo horns trapsing around the Capitol like buffoons were terrorist insturrectionists intent on murderering hundreds of congresspeople on camera with their flagpoles.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Trump said as soon as he gets into office he's gonna cut that means Post Office 5 days a week not six, no speed rail and no Student loan Discharge, so that's what gonna happen as soon as Rs take over Congress it's not a single pro growth policy Rs are trying to establish they believe in smaller Govt

Kari Lake is gonna cut Govt too she doesn't believe in big Govt but Rs want to nix the  Filibuster to ban abortion and to expunge impeachment off of Trump record no other reason

AIDS is a horrible disease you get thrust in your mouth because the disease doesn't attack your immunity it destroys it and your tonsils are your immunity
But, there would certainly be an exception to life, health and incest of mom, but that I can live with, because there are too many AID cases out there you can still catch Herpes and STDs


When people laugh at you for abstaining from sex or have no kids, we still have Herpes and AIDS that's why we're not in a Boomer Generation because even pregnant women have AIDs

Abstinence is a way to live and celebrate too I am not saying that's what you should your life but that's an alternative, as soon as you go to Doc they take your A1C for Diabetes and complete blood count, white blood cells to see if you have all your T Cells

Why are these people allowed to hijack this thread?  The ground rules for the topic were clearly laid by Meclazine.  Where are the Moderators so unhinged over Excessive Hyperbole, Derailing, Spam-Off Topic, etc.? 

If these derailing posts are allowed to stand in this thread, then apologies are owed any number of people (including myself) for crassly imposing double-standards.  There are Good Guys With Guns.  They ought to be on display.  There ought to be more.  Until than, perhaps we can at least have evenhandedness in moderation standards when it comes to people being off-topic.

They are running in a D+28 district.  Sacrificial lamb candidates are often whackjobs.

I think that even some Biden +30 districts could flip this year defending on how big the Republican wave turns out to be.

A well proven notorious troll just posted an absurd statement two posts above me. No doubt almost everyone disagrees and someone might try to "refute" him.
